When Universe Conspires

Epilogue Part 2

(Lisa)

I started writing the dream I had to make a book out of it. It's been 2 weeks since that idea came up. I'm almost done with it. It's just hard to type words to my laptop because everytime I type words about that dream, I just feel like it was real. Like it really happened, like I was really there. And I fall more in love with the girl who I apparently don't personally know in real life. How's that possible? I should stop daydreaming about her. It will only frustrate me.

"Are you fantasizing about your Jennie again Lisa-yah?" Chae said loudly entering the room with a paper bags on tow.

"Shut it. I was having a moment here until you ruined it" I said with an eye roll.

"You better work that legs later for your therapy so you can already go and live your daydream" Chae said.

"Is it today already? The therapy session?" I asked forgetting the day.

"Yes you idiot. So stop writing for now since you're not even writing.." she said looking at my laptop with a blinking cursor, not a single letter typed yet.

I flipped the lid off my laptop closed and grumbled, "I guess I'll write later tonight"

My therapy session went well. The physical therapist told me that I can be back to normal in just a week of session. My ankle is fully healed by now. It won't take much time for me to be able to get back on track. It already healed during my 4 months of being in coma. I just need the session to be able to walk properly again.

9 days later.

"Doc, thank you for everything. But with all due respect, I hope I don't see you in this kind of place again soon" I said joking. Everyone laughed at my attempt.

"I'm hoping that too Lisa. Be careful around kid. Stay out of trouble. I'm just a call away if you encounter any relapse of headaches" Doctor Lee said.

"Alright Doc, thanks again" I replied.

We left the hospital.  My parents, Chae and I. It's a special day, they said. My parents took a day off from work.

"Ahhhh...I missed this place! It's like going back from a long overseas vacation" I said plopping myself down on the old beaten leather couch.

"It's just that, it wasn't really a trip to Bahamas or something" Chae teased.

"Whatever Chipmunk.. I missed being here. Specially my room. Wait I'm gonna go there now" I said standing up excitedly.

I went straight to my room and saw that everything is well kept. Chae really organized my room. I saw my working station. It's just the only area in my room which is not that organized.

"You don't like anyone touching your work stuff. So I left them that way. I just dusted them off" Chae said when she found me looking around.

"You know me very well" I said smiling.

I inspected some papers and files on top of the pile. I scanned it and found something interesting.

"I was writing a short novel about an anonymous millionaire and her search for happiness. I remember my draft outline for this" I said shaking my head in amusement.

"We're slowly figuring out why you had that dream. Even your subconscious is workaholic. I'm not sure if I'm going to be happy about that" Chae said sighing.

"I know Chae..I'm sorry. I'll make things right this time. I will make time for everything from now on. I will balance work, family, social life and others. I used to take for granted little things that matter when I'm too focused at work. Life has a way of putting everything in its place I guess. Just please remind me again about this when I tend to be workaholic again" I told her sincerely.
