Prince From Another World

Prince From Another World
Drowsiness for Drowsiness


I put bags and books on the study table. My gaze fell on the bottom drawer of the table that opened slightly. The drawer was already quite full of messy maroon red envelopes. I've always wanted to clean it up but haven't had time. I was also confused as to what all the letters were about. I finally let it go.


It's still afternoon. I lay down for a while in bed. Until unconscious even overslept. In my sleep I dream.


I think I'm sleeping. When my eyes opened the glare of sunlight directly hit the face. And as soon as I woke up I was in a vast field of flowers. There's nothing there. Just a flower field. I looked around, not knowing where I was. Suddenly from a distance came the sound of a horse's screech followed by a horse's foot race. But, the voice did not come closer and even sounded further away. I got up and tried to chase after the voice before it disappeared. I don't know why I suddenly got scared. This place is so quiet and foreign to me. I was still running while the sound was getting further and further away. Until I finally fell down and was unconscious.


I feel so tired. So tired. My breaths wheezing. My heart raced fast. Then a heavy and cold hand stroked my forehead. I'm shocked. Spontaneously open your eyes. But as soon as my eyes opened, I was in my dark room.


I took a deep breath. I had a weird dream again. I feel my heart still beating. And that cold hand .... I hold my forehead. I can still feel the caress of that cold hand. It was so real it was not like a dream. It even feels like too often I feel the caress.


I got off the bed. Seeing that it was dark. Then open the new room lights and then go outside and get ready to take a shower.


...─────PoV2────...


Actually Wallace was standing in a corner of the room unseen by Eriza. As the girl fell asleep, she kept watching her. But the coldness of his hands actually made Eriza wake up. He disappeared later after Eriza left the room.

At 9pm I went back to my room. After previously chatting with Sienna on the terrace. No intention of studying today. I also went up to the bed. Lie face down while attaching earphones to the ears. Edgar's melodious voice was immediately heard with the song More Than Words which he sang.


I changed my sleeping position to lie down. While enjoying the soft music that he brought. I haven't finished one song it feels like my pillow isn't comfortable. I pulled my pillow back to my head. At that time I saw a diary that I felt I had not touched stored there for a long time. I grabbed.


Open sheet by page written in my handwriting. Then stop at a few pages. Page with the story of my trip to New Angeles. Then the next page about the meeting with Wallace. Wallace! I haven't thought about it in a long time. It doesn't feel like nearly four months have passed. How's he in New Angeles? Is it okay? The question suddenly arises. I took off the earphones that were still attached to the ear. Then open the blank page and start writing again.

...2 September 2003...


...It hasn't been nearly four months since my vacation to New Angeles. In the last two months, I never wrote again. I don't think about the stars in the sky....


...How's it going in there, huh? Is she okay? It's so bad to let myself think about it here. But I'm not too much about it either. Maybe because I was too busy. Or maybe it was Edgar?! Ever since I got close to Edgar I hardly thought about it anymore. But that doesn't mean I like Edgar. I just consider him a friend. I always realized I was not comparable to him, so I always kept my feelings. Liking someone who has no clarity of news, I should have forgotten it....


...But, is it that easy? I'm confused! I often get anonymous mail. And strangely all the submissions are New Angeles-related....


└──◌────˚──────◌─────˚──┘


New Angeles? Wait up! This may not be a clue. I immediately closed my diary and opened the drawer where I kept the maroon red envelopes. I took out an envelope and took out the contents. Coincidentally I took a postcard with the Dixie Holly region icon. Just a sheet and no memos. I forgot the date I got it.


I'm starting to think what is this about Wallace? But he doesn't know my home address! And again who always put it in front of the door? I'm getting more confused.


My confusion went unanswered but the day was getting late. I don't want to wake up late tomorrow I've got this problem. And go to bed soon. But still can't sleep well.


...*******...


Hoam .... I don't know how many times I yawned since this morning. Eyes feel sleepy but cannot sleep. There are two more courses to follow. I sat with my eyes almost closed in the corner of the campus cafe with Sienna. Sienna herself watched me in surprise.


"Eriza, you seem to be very sleepy! What were you doing all night?" sienna could not stand it.


"I can't sleep" I answered half-consciously. Really sleepy.


"If you're sleepy like this, how can you take two more courses?" sienna.


From the entrance, Edgar came to us.


"Hi, ladies! Can I sit here?" tanyakanya.


"Please!" sienna replied to the handsome young man. This could be the first time Sienna has spoken to the young man.


"Trims," he replied.


"You're Eriza's cousin, aren't you?" ask Edgar later.


"Yes" answered Sienna.


"We have not yet met directly. My name is Edgar Juan Henley" Edgar said as he reached out.


"Sienna Aeris," Sienna retaliates Edgar's hand.


"Riza why? So lethargic!" edgar asked to see me dipping my head on the table.


"Sleepy said. Because last night I couldn't sleep" Sienna replied.


"Oh," muttered Edgar understood.


"You got any ideas? Because soon he will fall asleep here" asked Sienna.


"Em .. You don't mind me bringing your cousin, do you?! " Edgar asked Sienna for permission.


"Please! After all, he certainly will not be able to follow the last course until it is finished," replied Sienna allows.


"Then ... Riza. Come on, let's go!" take Edgar.


"Huh? Where are you going?" manya lazy.


"Follow it! You will know too. Counting you can sleep well today! Come on, you also definitely can't attend a lecture with such sleepy eyes!" obviously Edgar.


We walked to the parking lot. As soon as I got in front of the car I got in. It didn't take long, Edgar's car hasn't even left the campus area maybe I fell asleep first. No matter where Edgar would take me, my eyes could not be compromised. All the way through, I was completely asleep.


I began to blink my eyes. When I felt Edgar's car was no longer driving. I don't know how long it's been stopped. I reopened my heavy eyes and now they felt fresher. I looked out the car window. The sunflowers are in bloom. Edgar was not in the car. He stood outside leaning in front of the car. I got out of the car and stood next to him.


"Awake? How's sleep?" tanyakanya.


"Very soundly. Have we been here long?" askaku.


"Nearly half an hour!" answer Edgar


"Oh. You must be standing bored here!" I said it wasn't good.


"No. The scenery here was too beautiful to be able to make anyone feel bored!" edgar said casually.


"I've never been to a place like this" I said as I stared at the surrounding scenery filled with sunflowers on each side of the road.



"This is the Sunflower Garden plantation area. It just so happened that the sunflower was blooming all over. Beautiful isn't?!" obviously Edgar.


"Yes" I replied briefly.


" You haven't had lunch, have you? Come on, let's go to that tavern up ahead. I haven't eaten either" Edgar asked. I'm nodding.


Then we walked towards the tavern Edgar was referring to. Edgar ordered two bowls of Tourin soup.



As soon as the order arrived we immediately finished it before it went cold. We talked for a long time in the store. Before walking back to where the car is. I was not satisfied to enjoy the beautiful sunflowers. We were still standing in front of the car.


"Eriza," call Edgar.


"Yes," I said.


"What do you think love is?" ask Edgar slowly.


I narrowed my eyes looking at him. Why did Edgar suddenly ask about love? I smiled and answered his question.


"I don't really understand. Maybe it's like when we meet someone and miss him all night and want to keep seeing him!"


It was like how I felt about Wallace, I said it in my heart.


"Do you miss someone?" ask Edgar.


"No," I replied, shaking my head. I know I lied.


"Then, is there anyone you want to meet?" ask Edgar again.


"Not really," I answered. I feel weird about Edgar today.


"Why are you asking so strangely. To be honest, I've never liked anyone" I continued. I'm just starting to like someone.


"It's okay. I just want to know. Because I've been thinking about someone lately, like you said. But, I don't know if it means love!" edgar's answer was very plain.


"You've never been in love, have you?" my many. I am very interested in Edgar's personal life.


"I used to like someone. During SMU. But I never dared to say it. Two years I've been holding onto that feeling. Until graduation day comes, I intend to express my feelings to her. But dear is late. He had already left Losa the day before the graduation ceremony" Edgar recalls.


"So you never said it?" my many.


"No. To this day I never see him again. And there was also no contact with him," Edgar replied casually.


"Then, you still like it today?" askaku.


Edgar laughing. Then saying.


"Of course not. That feeling is long gone."


"So, who do you think about often now?" manyu tease.


"Secret!" edgar answered with a mysterious smile.


"Ah, not exciting!" my tukas.


Edgar laughed again.


"It's not time you knew!" said.


"Whatever! Not telling me is okay, too," I said. Then turn around and get in the car.


"Come, home! I don't want to get home last night," I asked.


Edgar with a still smiling face immediately followed to the car. The engine was turned on and the car drove off the plantation.
