Don’t tell me—”“Hey! I didn’t do anything to you. You should thank me instead because I was the one who looked after you when you were having a nightmare. I even offered my arm to be your pillow yet you’re accusing me of something I didn’t do?” he complained.She stops for a moment to feel her body and nothing hurt except her eyes.“I-I had a nightmare?” She asked.Randall nodded. “You were crying and screaming so I held you close until you fell asleep on my shoulder.”So that explains why her eyes are puffy.

“WHY are you always looking up at the night sky?” Clayton consciously asked Barbara when they decided to go for a walk on the beach.“Clay, how often does a shooting stars occur?” Barbara asked back out of nowhere.Clayton stopped and looked up at the night sky. “About one every ten minutes is the normal rate for them to be seen, I guessed. Why did you ask?”“Does wishing upon a star make your wishes come true?”“Seeing a meteor was thought to be a sign of hope, luck, and fortune. So, yes! I believe it will make your dream come true.”Barbara closes her eyes as she started to whisper her wish.“Love and peace,” she whispered three times when she saw a shooting star appeared unexpectedly in the night sky.Clayton smiled when he heard what Barbara was whispering so he looked up at the night sky, closed his eyes, and said his girlfriend’s wish as well three times while the star remained visible.____________________“HAPPY third monthsary!” Randall said as they finally reached the top of

A WEEK later Randall got a phone call from Eilyas.“Is there any update?” he asked as he answered the call.“I have all the information you need right now.”He closes his eyes for a moment. Can he accept whatever the result is? What if it leads to a misunderstanding between him and Meredith?“Dude, are you still there?”He came back to his senses when he heard his friend’s voice.He swallowed the lump in his throat. “Yeah! Let’s meet at our old hang-out place. “Okay,” Eilyas responded before hanging up the call.“DUDE, I think you and Meredith are really the reincarnated souls of Clayton and Barbara.”“H-how did that happen?”Eilyas handed him the brown envelope. “Everything you need to know is inside that envelope.” When Randall opened it, the first thing that caught his eyes was a ripped and old photo of a girl sitting on the sofa. Barbara.That’s the woman he sees in his dreams. Behind that, he could clearly see the bed that he thought was in a room or condo where that photo was

WHEN Randall arrived at his condo, he immediately hugged his wife. He could no longer hide his tears and sobs. He was very afraid that if he let go of her, she would also disappear. And he didn’t want them to end up like Barbara and Clayton.“Randall, w-what’s going on? Why are you crying?” Meredith asked after breaking their hugs.“I-I already know the reason why Clayton and Barbara keep appearing in our dreams. Clayton is—”“Shhh. . .” She stopped what he wanted to say.She held both of his cheeks and gently wiped away his tears. “You don’t have to tell me if you can’t.”“But—”“If I find out about Barbara and Clayton’s history, will it change our lives?” she asked. “Randall, if you think your findings are going to hurt both of us, maybe it’s better if we just forget all about it,” she added when she didn’t get any response from him.He was stunned for a moment. Surely the relationship between the two of them will be destroyed. And that is something he does not want to happen. Tha

“WHO told you to tamper with my other stuff, huh? I told you to get my wallet only,” Meredith’s mother yelled angrily as she stormed into the room, hastily grabbing the photo and placing it back in the box.”“I-it fell while I was searching for your wallet, mom. I had no intention of tampering with your other stuff.“But you still shouldn’t tamper with things that aren’t yours! Get out of my room now and buy what I’m asking you to buy!” Mrs. Ebelte said, tremblingly returning the contents of the box.“Mom, are you okay? You’re shaking.”“I said get out of my room, now!”Meredith just did what her mother wanted and didn’t ask anymore about what she saw. She couldn’t understand why her mother suddenly reacted like that. Who’s the man in the photo and the baby he was holding?A few hours later, Meredith returned to their shop and didn’t talk to her mother. She was afraid of being yelled at again.
