Everytime they sleep they share the same dream of each other, always as a couple. They dream of the past & the future. But Rich & Dei do not know each other, live in different continents, and are in their respective relationship.
Dedicated to Niña...wag kang Pasaway 😜

Dei, Philippines
There he goes again...running towards her, that angelic face, the curve of his lips and those dark eyes. They are standing by a cliff of this marvelous view of the Ocean and he pulls her inside a cave and started kissing her.

"Cornwall..." he told her...
Dei woke up, it's 3am, and THAT dream happened again! She better sleep as she needs to prepare for work by 6am.
Rich, Ireland
Rich...Im' here...come here!
That lady again, Dei, she said her name in one of his weird dreams when he is getting married to the woman in olive skin, doe eyes and lush lips! She is removing her white gown and he covers her with his half naked body.
Good Lord...it's almost 3am, unholy hour! It's THAT dream again! He opened his phone and Cassie, his girlfriend will pick him up by 6am. He will be flying to the Philippines to visit a beach resort in Batangas for a week and then post a review on his company's website - "The Escape here and there"
Dei, Philippines
Dei or Deina Pelangi is one of the Administrator of Athena Beach House. A third generation Pelangi, her entire family takes charge of this rare beach house with soft white and pink sands and rich marine life situated in Batangas.
Over breakfast, Gary, her boyfriend of two years, had been talking for a good 20 minutes but she is not listening. All she could think about is THAT dream, THAT guy.
G: Babe...
D: His name is Rich...ayyy....
G: Who's Rich?
D: No one...ayun oh nag flash sa TV, commercial ata..
G: Anyway, so we're okay ha? Mawawala ako for a week, sayang din ang workshop na yun..
D: Sure...
Dei had no idea what Gary was talking about, he can sometimes be full of himself! He is an aspiring actor, he believes that he's got the looks and skills. Anna reminded Dei that by tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Turner from Ireland will be here for a week of stay and documentation. Dei is quite excited for this, she is a fan of those Poldark and Downton Abbey series, she is imagining that this Mr. Turner will look like Lord Crowley, very dignified and handsome!
The Next Day Anna went to the Municipal Hall to secure their permit to operate a sailboat for Mr. Turner, because of this, it's Dei who welcomed Mr. Turner...better known as Mr. Turn Me On! She said to herself.
Scratch Lord Crowley, this guy is Captain Ross Poldark! Dei can feel that she is blushing big time!
When their eyes meet....
That voice, lips and those eyes...he looks familiar.... - Dei
Why do I have a feeling that I know this lady? That skin tone, her shoulders and those doe eyes... - Rich
R: Magandang Umaga...Im' Rich! Richard Albert Turner.
D: Good Morning...este magandang araw din po! Ang galing ng tagalog mo...
R: Half Pinoy ako, mother side.
D: Ohh...sige po, eto ang room nyo, as requested po, East Side and eto po ang list of activities and a map.
R: Thank you and your name is?
D: DEI... (offers her hand for a hand shake) R: Dei... (kisses her hand)
Babe!!! Aalis na ako...
It's Gary, Dei endorsed Rich to Jess, the PM Shift Manager. She went to kiss Gary goodbye and he hugs her as if telling everyone that she is his girlfriend.
Ofcourse she has a boyfriend...with looks like that and an alluring voice, Rich said to himself as Jess guides him into the Executive Room, far away from the crowded areas.
That night, Dei couldn't sleep, she decided to walk around the beach. She is wearing her blie floral dress and grey cardigan. Dei unties her hair as she walks barefoot and then sees...HIM.
D: Hi Mr. Rich...
R: Ms. DEI...it's a full moon, and so far so good, I am loving your place.
D: Thank you...you're from Ireland d b?
R: Cornwall, Ireland.
Hearing him say that, Dei feels like running but she decided to stay and talk some more. Rich stand up and drapes his jacket on her.
R: You are shivering Ms. Dei...
D: Rich...
R: Dei...
And in that very moment, as the waves are moving across the shore and the salty wind around them, Rich bends down to kiss Dei.
Dei was surprised by his kiss, even more surprised that she kisses him back...and that it seems just right. However, she decided to move away and Rich runs after her.
R: Dei...Im' sorry, but there's something so familiar here...with you.
D: I know Rich...you are always haunting me in my dreams!
R: Likewise Dei...I seem to know every detail of your body from my dreams.. you have this mole at the small of your back, right side...
D: Hala....
R: I know we both have someone in ourlives right now, but I feel that we need to know why we have this "connection"...
D: I don't know din...ang weird lang kasi...
R: All I know is this...I wanted to kiss you over and over...
D: No...tama na, it must be the full moon...balik na tayo sa mga kwarto natin at matulog...
R: Why? This is better than my dreams...
D: No!
And Dei runs to the Hotel straight to her room, it was then when she realized that she is still wearing his jacket. And she slept hugging that jacket, inhaling the musky scent and remembering his kisses.
In their dreams that night...
Mommy...Mommy... Aidan stop running! Sorry Mommy...I got a flower for you and Baby Athena... Thank you Baby... Am not baby! Im' Kuya Aidan! Yes you are Buddy...in two months, Athena will be here with us.
Dei woke up...this is madness! And again, 3am - the witching hour! She decided to go to the Kitchen to drink milk. As she enters the Dining Room, there he is...smilling at her.
R: Couldn't sleep?
D: Yes...
R: Me too...I miss my jacket...
D: Ohh...I'll just return this tomorrow er later! 3am n nga pala, I'll just get milk...
Rich walks with her and an old lady stops them both. She is wearing a lacey dress with a gold brooch, quite old and considering that it is summer. She smiled and hold their hands together and then lights went out and they find themselves in a place filled with clouds. The old lady started talking...
This is Cornwall, Ireland, 1815...my darlings, you are destined for each other and this is how you two met as Ross and Demelza. The War had separated you but in the end you will always find one another like what happened in 1915 and then 2015...
R: That was when we moved to Ireland...
D: And that was when I came back to the Philippines from the USA...
And my darlings, now that fate has played yet again for you to meet, let us not waste this shall we?
After that, they were back right where they are standing - without the old lady. But Rich finds himself holding a vintage gold brooch.

R: Well...I believe this one belongs to you, or at least it should!
D: Thank you...can we talk somewhere?
R: Your room or mine?
Suffice to say, there was no talking done in his room. From the moment they enter his room, they started fumbling and kissing each other. As Dei is removing her white dress, Rich remembers that dream and points out her mole at exactly tje same spot he once said.
As he covers her naked body with his...
R: This feels right....
D: Yes...but am scared....
R: You don't have to...we've been here before... several times over...
He made her lie in bed and kisses her from her feet up to her temples. Dei kisses him back as she carresses the face that's been in her dreams for as long as she can remember...this is real... this is it...

Epilogue
They got married five months after and Rich decided to stay in the Philippines with Dei. Six months after, Dei gave birth to their first born, Aidan Ross Pelangi Turner.
Three years later, Dei, Rich and Aidan are having a picnic outside the resort and Dei realized that it is but a deja vu as it happened in her dream and now in real life. What a turn around her life had been since that day when she met Rich for the first and probably hundredth time!
