__Wang Yibo__

I came back to the house, straight away went into the house. On the way to my room, I met Aunty Lin. She was about to greet me. But when she saw how my face and mood were, she halted. I ignored her, went upstairs and slammed my room door behind me.

I threw my own body into the bed, laid on my stomach and burried my face into the pillow. I sniffled. I cried!! But why? I didn't know why do I cry? I just felt suffocated and couldn't breath properly. And it gave the great pain on my chest.

"Young Master...?" Aunty Lin's voice could be heard along with the knock at my door. I didn't answer. My voice was chocked into the tears.

I heard the sound of the door being opened, and the sound of footsteps rustling closer to my bed. And a gentle touch of a hand stroking my hair.

"What happened, hm? Why you look so sad?" Aunty Lin asked me, gently.

I still didn't answer. I couldn't talk. Only the sniffles that came out from my mouth replying to her wonder.

"You can share your pain with me. You know that. I'll never leave your side. I will be here to listen to your rants...." Aunty Lin spoke.

I stired, but didn't turn around. I heard she shighing.

"You know where to find me if you are ready to talk about it..." Aunty Lin said. And she sounded got up from the bed and walked away.

"I can't confess...!" I muffled my voice through the pillow. Then I got up from my lying position.

I saw Aunty Lin stood in the middle of the room. She looked at me confusedly.

"I love him. But I can't let him know..." I mumbled.

Aunty Lin furrowed her eyebrows. She walked back to my bed.

"Why?" She asked after sat beside me. "Is he not into the man?"

I shook my head. I wiped my nose.

"I don't know. But he is very good to me and... Always tease me in many ways which made me shy. And blushed.  But I don't know who I am to him!" I bursted into tears again.

"If you never tell him how your feel toward him, how would you know if he might likes you, too. That's why he always teasing you," aunty Lin rubbed my back.

"I can't!" I snapped.

"Why not,my dear?"

"She always stops me."

"She? Who is SHE?"

"The woman. Her condition is ... Scary for my liking. Blood all around her body. But she was beautiful. But... She makes me terrified...?"

"What are you talking about? Who:s that woman? How she comes to you and tell you nonsense?"

"She's from my dream... She haunted me since 3 years ago. She came to my dream occasionally. I... I don't know her! But she always comes into my dream!"

"Did she tell you who is she?"

I shook my head violently.

"What else did you see in your dream?"

"The dark sky. Stormy night. Empty street. And a bunny charm."

Aunty Lin silent. Her mouth was moving, as if chanted something. Then he gazed at me.

"What did she say to you?"

I thought about it, tried to remember the first time she came into my dreams.

"First 2 years, she only saying: " you can save him. Please, save him from a terrible and painful death..." " I paused.

Aunty Lin's gaze was rather sharper.

"And then?" She asked again.

"And then... These past few months, she still chanting the same words. But there is additional."

"And what is that?"

"You can save him. Please, save him. You have to save him! But don't let him know that you love him. Do not confess. Or he will dies..!"

I could see aunty Lin's face was changing. It turned into a great shock and pale.

"Aunty? What my dream means?" I asked her.

She turned to look at me, then she smiled faintly.

"Don't think too much. That's only a dream, Young Master.." she said. I know she was hiding something, but I didn't want to force her to tell the thing she didn't want to share about.

"But why came repeatedly for years?" I was curious.

"Maybe she came to the wrong person." She answered, irrationally. "Well, how are you sure this Xiao Zhan is the guy she meant in your dream? It could be you are wrongly addressing him..!" She changed the topic.

I shook my head weakly. Gazed on the floor, and mumbled," He has the same bunny charm with the one I saw in my dream. And he said it was a relic from his deceased mother..."

Aunty Lin gasped loudly, until she got up from the bed. I looked at her in a daze.

"Aunty Lin? What happened?" I asked her.

"I... I need to go. I need... To... To give the medications to ... Madam. Good night, Young Master..!" Aunty Lin was stutered.

I was sure that Aunty Lin knows something related to my dreams. But how to make her to reveal all the secrets? Did Mom also related with it? She was thrown by my father 4 years ago, a year before my nightmares came. And she also kept chanting : " she's coming. He's here. She comes for revenge..! No! Yibo! Ah Bo! No! Don't take him away from me,! She:s here! They are here!"

That's why my father locked her in the cottage, instead the mental hospital, since he loved mom dearly. But I still couldn't forgive him for locking her in the cottage behind the mansion as if she has a contagious disease, that needs to be quarantined.

And Xiao Zhan.... Je came into my mind. Does he really related to my dream? Is he the one the woman mention about? How can't I stop loving him? He's so adorable. He's so cute for my liking. And we met everyday at school. And he always chasing me, talk to me, teasing me... How can I not falling for him even deeper? What should I do? I just can't keep avoiding him when all I want is to be with him. To love him. To touch him.

"Aaarrggghhh...!" I growled and slammed my body into the bed again. I was so frustrated. Devastated. I never thought that I would be in such desperation to love somebody. And I cried again.
