Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 162

“What do you think?”

Ray approached his wife who was standing by the window watching the scenery outside. The snowstorm is still there, but the house and around it is unaffected by that. From the outside no one can see the house because of its invisibility.

Lia smiles to the man. After Jieun woke up a moment ago and they saw her face was still pale, they just decide to call it a day and just rest. They got a lot of time to figure things out and ask Jieun anyway.

After inspecting the now conscious Jieun, Lia and Ray excuse themselves there to get back to their room to rest, while some of the other princes take time to have their tea time and some also retreat to their bedroom just like Lia and Ray.

“You still haven’t rested enough. You should lie in bed and try to sleep. I will wake you up when its dinner time.” Ray, who worried about his wife saying that.

“I will. In a moment. My mind is still too busy to sort things out. I need to calm down first.” Lia honestly said that.

What Ray really likes about Lia is this actually. She will say what she wanted and always honest with that. Makes him not have to be too puzzled to find out what’s on the woman’s mind. He just needs to ask.

“Can I know what’s on your mind that you want to unravel?”

“About all of you, of course. I’m actually not too surprised by what you guys said as actually Adele used to tell me about that. About we probably not the only world that exists, different dimension, or even about we probably living in another world, but with different identity or life. But as I never met someone like that, I thought that is just a fairy tale. Turns out, its really happen. ”

“Is your view of me differently now after you find out about this?” Ray asked again.

Lia looked at Ray there full of question marks write on her face.

“What do you mean? Should I see you differently?”

Ray then stood right next to his wife while also looking out the window.

“The reason why Ethan is so cold to Mia before is also because of this issue. Mia never know about this. Ethan always thought that if we found a way out of this world, he will need to leave everything alone, including her.  There’s no way that people in this world could come with us to our world. So he prepared himself and her so that they would not go through a painful parting. ”

“Didn’t you think about that when you decided to marry me?” Lia wanted to know what this man thinks.

“I do think about that, but I am different than Ethan. I still don’t really believe that I can go back to my real world there. Because it’s been too long. Also, I didn’t even know if my life was long enough to meet that day. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to live happily here. Especially when I already found someone that I wanted to be with. ”

This time Ray looked at Lia. Lia, who is now blushing after hearing what he said knew she was being watched but just pretended not to know.

“That’s a  very healthy way to actually think like that. Feeling worried and sad is normal as a human being. But let’s just think about that when the time has come. Like you said,” Lia now also looked at the man. “We should cherish the time that we still have.”

Ray then held his wife’s hand tightly. Like he never wants to let go of that.

“But… What do you feel if the time comes? Will you be sad that I will be gone? Will you be missing me?”

Lia smiled again after listening to the question. She knows that this man is actually trying to find out how she feels. They got married not because of love at first, but just based on attraction to each other. So, it is normal when both of them are always trying to test each other’s heart.

Lia comes forward to Ray and put her hand around his neck there, making the man feel nervous all of the sudden with the gesture. They are still in the honeymoon phase anyway.

“I’m sure I will be sad and miss you, but there’s nothing we can do about that. Meeting and parting is also a a apart of destiny. I can’t beg you to stay here with me. You have your own life there. At that place that really belongs to you. But I promise, I will never forget you for the rest of my life and I hope you also do the same.”

Somehow Ray felt a little sad there, but he knows very well that what Lia said is the truth. Even if he wanted to stay here, this place is still something isolated from him. No matter how good he blends in at this place, this world is not his home. But Lia… Only her… Is his reason now to call this place as his home.

“I promise I will never forget all about you. You have my words in that.”

Lia raised her foot there and kissed her husband deeply now. Wanted to ease whatever his feeling that she know started to consuming his heart. ‘We are going to be just fine. ‘ That is what she wanted to tell him in her kiss, and Ray actually knows that.

At the same time,

Ayana, who is resting in her room is pensive when reminded of what she just knew a moment ago. One incident after another that she thought was strange before was finally answered. As long as she knew Jieun in Hilleo Village, she always thought that the girl seemed to have a different personality.

Apparently there is a story to the contrary. She can also guess that Granny Susan knows about this as the old woman always try meets Jieun without her. But she is not angry because they hid the matter from her knowledge. If she is in the Jieun place, she also will do the same. She is just feeling more sympathy with the fate of Jieun actually.

“Why didn’t you lock the room door? You do know there’s a lot of men in this house right?” A voice that suddenly was in the room slightly startled her.

“Haru?! What are you doing here? Get out fast.” Ayana said in a whisper but clearly felt uncomfortable there.

“You still didn’t answer my question.” Haru said there, looking serious.

Ayana feel a bit angry now.

“No one will come here. As far as I know, you are the one that enters here without permission.”

Haru is now smirking and casually he locks the door with his hand before starting to enter the room deeper.

Ayana, who was clearly shocked by what was happening gasped for a moment at the man’s brave act.

“What are you doing? What if someone realizes you’re here with me. I probably will die.” Ayana was worried.

“Like I will allow them to kill you.” Haru then sat down in the chair that was there. Resting there.

Ayana, who is now speechless, thinking about to go out there herself and leave the man alone.

“Don’t you think about that. Just relax. No one will know we are here together if you speak slowly.” Haru said.

With a sigh, Ayana calmed herself down a little and sat a little away from the man.

“Why are you here?” She asked. She knew for sure there was something the man wanted to say to her. Otherwise the man would not have looked to her like this.

Haru then watched the girl sharply.

“You wear that.” He said. Satisfied to see that the gift was still hanging around Ayana’s neck at that time.

Ayana’s face began to flush there. Unconsciously she held the chain in her hand.

“Its suit you.” Haru added.

“What do you want to know?” Ayana kept asking there. She didn’t want to drag the conversation here for too long. It’s way too uncomfortable for her.

Haru chuckled a little.

“You are no fun.” He said.

Ayana just smiled, knowing very well that this man was not satisfied with her response. But, knowing that Ayana will soon need to prepare their dinner, Haru starts to ask the question that is bothering him after everything was explained a moment ago. About him not a person of this land.

“What do you think after you know that I am not a person that you know all this time?” Haru ask her.

So that’s what he was wondering, Ayana just speaks in her mind.

“Why do you ask like that? Have you been pretending all this time? Are you really a whole different person from whom I know just because you are not a native of this world?” Ayana began to ask.

Haru stunned there.

“No. I am me.” He said.

“So you have the answer right there. Nothing has changed about my view of you. Because the one that I know all along is you.”

“But what if one day I find my way back to the original world? How would you feel if that happened?”

This time it’s Ayana’s turn to be stunned there.

“Then… I will be happy for you. Who wouldn’t be happy when something good happens to their friend… right?”

Hearing that, Haru felt a little hurt. Did Ayana all this time just consider him a friend? Yes, they never said it out loud about their relationship, but she supposes to already know right? He already showed his feelings too much to her. It’s impossible for her not to notice.

“Aya, I…”

“Ayana!” Lia’s voice that suddenly heard there stifling Haru’s words.

Ayana puts her finger in her mouth and immediately went away, slipping out of the room, leaving Haru alone to entertain his feelings.

“Damn!”
