Chapter 3 : Dreams x And x Nightmares

~~~

"Hey, Chizumi! Come over here and blow your candles!!"

"But mom!! Someone fired a gun outside!!!"

"Don't worry, my princess, this is your day so come with us and celebrate!"

"Hey Dad! Please listen to me! Let's get out of here, it's too dangerous!"

"Don't mind it and just smile, Chizumi! We're here for you!"

"Pairo... Kurapika... but--"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHIZUMI!!!"

"NOOO!!!"

"Chizumi!?!?"

I woke up immediately but soon regrets it because of the sunlight that irritates my eyes.

"What happened?" I asked more likely to myself.

"I should be the one asking that to you," I turned to my side and found a worried Pairo.

"Hey... I'm sorry, I'm not aware that you're here," I laughed awkwardly.

"It's fine... I just want to know what's happening to you,"

"Why did you asked? Is there something wrong with me earlier?"

"Yeah. I'm waking you up but it seems like you're struggling to something,"

"Oh, that. I guess I'm just having a nightmare,"

"About what?"

"It's--" I stopped mid way when I realized that I have nothing to say.

"What's wrong?"

"I... can't remember anything," I tried to remember the dream but to no avail.

"Alright. Let's not just talk about it. Maybe it's a good thing to forget about a nightmare," I nodded at his advice.

Pairo walk away and grab something from behind.

"Tadaa~ wear this and get ready," I frowned at his surprise. And actually got confused.

"What is that for?"

"Just wear it and get ready for this day. Because I still have something to show you,"

I examined his smiling face and sighed. "Maybe I don't have any choice,"

I lazily got up from my bed and approach an excited Pairo. "You're really creeping me out,"

"Why? I'm just excited,"

"How obvious,"

I closed the door behind after grabbing the fabric on Pairo's hands.

'I really wonder what's this for... and very curious about Pairo acting strange..."

After I take a bath, I found myself in front of Pairo who is helping me fix the dress.
