FATIGUE - 003

I collapsed while dancing because of fatigue. I thought I was already awake but no I'm not, it looks I'm dreaming. I see my self lying in the floor and everyone is panicking they didn't know what to do. My lips is so pale, my under eyes is so black. It looks like I am so tired of everything, well I'm so really tired. It so hard to maintain my higher grades but I need too, because I need to be on top because that was my family wants.

I love to dance because it is fashion. But yeah, I'm so tired of everything. I notice that the unfamiliar man is staring at my body and I'm so shock when he turned at my position and he's so handsome. He's smiling and he's walking towards me he stopped when our distance is so close.

“Are you tired?” he asked, his voice is soft.

I don't know if I can answer him. I'm so starstruck of his handsome face and masculine body. I couldn't say anything. Im shy too.

“Don't be shy, just answer my question and I will bring you the paradise,” he said again, convincing me.

I raised my head to look at him. Oh, he's face is too dazzling I can't even look at it. He's perfect.

“U-uh, you can read my mind?” I asked awkwardly.

he chuckled. “No, your action is too obvious.”

My cheeks heated because of his laugh.

“Are you going to answer my question?”

“Ah, uh. Yeah I am tired and I want to rest,” I answered.

“Then, come with me,” he said and offer his hand and I immediately hold it.

We enter at the white dimension and now I see a calm place with no pollution and no many people just me and him. You will just hear the sound of waves from the seawater.

I smiled. “Thank you for bringing me here.”

“You're welcome,” he answered.

I stayed two months in this place and I am so relaxed and I felt so very happy not because of this place but because of him. He's so gentleman and so kind, but in that two months he never said his name to me. I wonder why. I go down because his not beside me, and I saw the sticky note in the refrigerator.

“Aoi, go to the beach if you're awake! : )).”

I'm so hungry but I chose to follow what he said. And now I see him watching the sea quietly I hugged him.

“You're here,” he said and smiled at me.

“What is it? I'm hungry.”

“Kiss me,” he said while staring at me.

My eyes widened a bit because of what he said. My God! This man is so unpredictable.

I hold his cheeks and kissed him in the lips he pull me closer and deepened our kisses. I was ready to rant when he stopped but I saw him fading slowly. What's happening?!

“HEY WHAT'S HAPPENING?!!!” I shouted nervously.

I don't know if I can touch him or I shoud hug him to stop him fading.

“J-just hug me, Aoi,” he's crying

I immediately hugged him and cry because I can't stop it. What the fuck is happening? Is he cursed? I shouldn't kiss him! This is all my fault.

“Don't cry and its not your fault. Thankyou for staying at me for 2 months, Aoi. I highly appreciated it was so fun to be with you, I wish I could spend more time with you but we can't do it. This is just a dream, you need to wake up because everyone are waiti-”

I cut him off. “No! I just want you! Only you!” I exclaimed.

He brush my hair. “Be a strong woman, be healthy. Always remember that I'm watching you, smile always. I love you, Aoi.”

Now he's neck is disappearing. No don't leave me.

“M-my name is Hades,” it almost a whisper but I heard it clearly.

When I opened my eyes it's wet. I suddenly remember my dream and my tears are now falling. Hades is just a dream, my dream man is just a dream. I want him! I wish I didn't wake up anymore so that I can be with him. But it's too late, because Hades turned into dust and was blown away by the wind..
