IN THE DREAM BOOK

“Me as your main female lead”

Would you also want to be with the same person in your next life? Or would you let that person be with you even though there's always something bad meant to happen when you were together?
 
Those questions kept bothering in my mind; I don't know why, but it seems to be the same questions in my life. It seems that there's always a part of me who was seeking an answer, and yet I still can't find it—I can't find the right questions to answer my unknown question.
 
I don't know the exact word for me to feel satisfied and to feel deep inside me that I'm complete. I know to myself that something is messing, that there is something on me that is seeking something—something that is unknown.
 
It feels like I was stranded in the middle of the ocean, hoping that I could find something, even if it's impossible to find something in the middle of nothing. It also feels like I was stock in a travel clock and didn't know where I would be.
 
I'm feeling empty; I'm feeling hopelessly; I feel nothing.
 
But it's changed when I accidentally feel hope that all my questions will be answered because of an unknown person. A person that is quite mysterious, and I was so curious to find who he is.
 
It feels so strange to be in pain, happiness, and mourning when I see this man in front of me now. It feels like I see someone who I didn't see for a long period of time.
 
“Who are you? ”I suddenly said that and looked directly at the man in front of me.
 
He didn't react like he didn't hear my question. He seemed familiar to me; where did I see him? Why do I feel this strange feeling for someone I just literally met?
 
I expected he would answer me, but he just avoided me, like he didn't hear my question or he didn't see me in front of him.
 
I feel like I lost all the hope I had before when I saw him. I went home without it in my mind. I sat on the sofa in the living room, and I let myself drown in the things that troubled my mind when I saw that man. 
 
I didn't realize that I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it's like I was in another world and time, but it feels familiar to me. I turned around, and not far from where I was standing, I saw a man standing near the bunch of roses. I walked closer to him, even though I didn't get close enough; I felt like I recognized his figure. And when I finally got closer, I confirmed that he was indeed the man I saw earlier. 
 
But it's not like earlier when he didn't seem to notice me; now he's smiling happily at me. I couldn't help but smile at him too. 
 
“Who are you? ”I couldn't stop myself from asking who he was. And hopefully this time he will answer me.
 
But same as before, he still didn't answer my question, but instead he came to me and kissed my forehead before coming to my ears.
 
“You have already forgotten me, my love, but remember this: I will never forget you, Luna Felisa, the only woman I have ever loved in any world and time."
 
I couldn't answer anymore because he suddenly disappeared and I completely woke up. I woke up to the fact that I was not the main character and that it was only in the book. I just became Delulu while reading the story. I'm not the female lead how delusional I am.
