Ember took shower after getting up. As soon as he was going to leave his room, the maid entered his room with the tray in her hand.

"Good Morning. Here is the breakfast, sir." The maid said with a smile.

"Why are you serving this here? I'm supposed to go to a dining room." Ember asked with confusion.

"Umm . . .ma'am ordered me to serve your breakfast at your room."

"Uh . . .alright." He said. He took the tray from her and sat down on his bed as the maid left the room.

"It doesn't feel right . . .they forgot . . .oh God." He said to himself. "They must be super busy nowadays. Geez . . ." He said unwillingly.

". . . . ." Rhea blankly starred at her food.

"What happened? Why aren't you eating?" Mrs Laghari asked, putting a spoonful of rice into her mouth.

"*sight* it doesn't feel right . . ." Rhea said as she put an empty spoon into her mouth and cupped her cheeks with her hands while resting her elbows on the table.

"Really?" Rhea's mom asked. "What doesn't feel right?"

"It's . . .uh . . .let's have a party or something?" She said nervously.

"Woah! A party?! When?" Noor shouted in excitement.

"Have your breakfast first." Mrs. Laghari said to Noor.

"Geez . . ." Noor sighed.

"So . . .Rhea? A party for what?" Her mom asked.

"I don't know. I just want to celebrate something. It feels like I've been celebrating this day from long ago. But I can't remember why."

"Today is . . .27th June . . .is today something to celebrate?" Mr. Laghari finally spoke, putting his newspaper aside.

"I don't know but I still wanna celebrate! Uwa!" Rhea said and walked out of the house.

She paddled on her bicycle for a while until she met . . .

"Alicia!" Rhea stopped paddling.

"Arorhea! Long time no see!" Alicia, an old friend of Rhea, said.

"Aw how are you?" Rhea asked and hugged her.

"I'm good. What about you? Nothing seems fine." Alicia asked, curiously. "Is everything alright?"

"Do you think I'm not alright?"

"Oh come on Rhea! I'm your best friend. I know you from childhood to you can't hide things from ME."

"OKAY! You win! I give up." Rhea said and raised her hands. "It's just that . . .that . . .I'm having some super strange dreams nowadays. Almost everyday. They're really weird but becomes hazy as soon as I opened my eyes."

"Which type of dreams?"

"Like . . .a blonde guy, a girl getting killed . . .UGH! They are so strange and difficult to understand!"

"I'm also having some dreams similar to yours."

"What? Really?"

"Yeah, kinda."
