Stella’s POV

I open my eyes slightly, as a bright light suddenly bursts into my eyes within second. I  squint for a few seconds to adjust the light, and I slowly yet surely notice a lovely blue sky. I sit down, trying to gain my whole consciousness back after sleeping for what feels like forever. And I could vaguely hear a bird, or possible some, twittering melodiously. I manage to look around and I could see those beautiful white doves that warbles are flying together with their elegances at the adorable sky. How beautiful!

I take my look to gaze over my circumstance and I realize that I’m not in my bedroom. I’m somewhere I don’t even know. All I know is that I’m surrounded by bunches of tall leafy trees and also followed by a really pure silence.

“Hey, you’ve woken up!” a voice speaks loudly, totally tearing the solitude up between me and my own distracted thoughts. I reverse my head only to be met by those dark brown eyes which is similar to me.

The beat of my heart suddenly increases steadily and my breath becomes ragged in seconds.

“Lily…” I whisper, as it’s quickly being brought along with the air around me.

Her beautiful smile immediately grows wider as she approaches me. She has never changed. She has always been my Lily. My Lily that has possibly gone a long time ago, but has never gone in my heart.

“Yep, it’s me” she smiles widely. His girly cute voice has never changed though. And it just makes me missing her even more.

“Wh-what are you doing here?” I ask stammeringly, still feeling confused about what’s going on.

“Let’s go! I  wanna show something to you” she says enthusiastically instead of answering my question. But I’m not even bothering it this time. The fact that I’m meeting up with her right now has me delighted literally. And I don’t need any answer comes out her mouth anymore because her existence is my happiness now. She’s totally my bliss.

“Sure. Come on!” I respond, and my right hand immediately is being grabbed by her as she leads me somewhere. While we’re both walking, she’s blabbing about everything and us in the whole trip happily.

“You look so excited, don’t you?” I ask when she stops spinning a yarn for a while. She looks at me for a few seconds before giving me a nod as a wide smile is formed across her pretty face afterwards.

“Yes I am! I miss you so much” she smiles and immediately hugs me. I feel the warmth overwhelming me when her body has touched mine. I hug her back, feeling a pure happiness running up through my veins.

We finally reach a house which looks beautiful and comfy. The white paint covering up the wall of the house, emphasizing the elegance and luxury itself. I get lost for a moment admiring the house in front of my eyes until Lily’s voice suddenly surprises me, “STELLA? YOU OKAY?”

I jump a bit backwards in surprise, but it doesn’t stay for so long because when I shift my eyes towards her direction, I pull on a smile.

“Yes, I’m okay” I say.

“Are you serious?” she asks back, the anxiety has taken over her face.

“Yes I am” I giggle and continue, “What’s your something by the way?”

Instead of answering me, she takes her steps into the house, as I follow her behind.

There’s no much things nor furnitures inside the house. I just see a long white sofa is being put on there. And it makes me wonder, how could the house looks so pretty outside but totally empty inside?
