Two Twins Separated
4 | RECURRING DREAMS

After accompanying Bella, Reva is escorted home by Bella according to Vian's request. Arriving at home, Reva immediately put herself in bed. His body feels very tired. His eyes look beautiful. Not long after he started sleeping.

Reva was again faced with a dark room. He can't see anything, except the girl who looks behind him. The girl had long hair like her. Her clothes are white. It looks so shining. Reva was amazed to see it.

"Who are you?" ask Reva. But I did not hear a word from the girl. He walked closer to the girl. The closer, the greater the beam of light.

"I'm asking you. Who're you?" ask again with a slightly high tone. The girl turned her body. His face looks similar to Reva's. A smile floated on his face. It was as if he was waiting for Reva.

"Reva, I miss you so much. Don't you miss me?" tanyakanya. Reva furrowed her brows.

"But I don't know who you really are. I really don't know" replied Reva.

"You really don't know who I am?" ask again. The girl showed a disappointed face. Like in the previous dream.

"I don't know. I wonder why we are so similar. Then how could you possibly know my name?" Reva asked back.

"Of course I know. Didn't I tell you we're twin brothers. We are twins" the girl replied as she walked closer to Reva.

"No, you're wrong. I don't have a twin brother. I'm an only child" Reva denies. The girl was getting saddened to hear Reva's words.

"Reva, we are twin sisters" the girl continued to reassure Reva.

"Then why can't I remember you. I've never met you. I.." Suddenly Reva felt a pain in his head. The pain is unbearable.

"Reva!" the girl slowly rubbed Reva's head. His hands are so soft.

As soon as her headache went away, Reva was unable to find the girl. It suddenly disappeared.

"Why do you always disappear? Show yourself!" shout Reva. He could find nothing but darkness.

"Back!" shouted again.

Suddenly Reva awoke from her sleep. His head hurt a lot. His body was sweating again. His heart pumps blood very fast. He realized he was dreaming.

"Why did I have a dream similar to last night?" ask Reva in your heart. He saw the wall clock. It doesn't feel like it's 17:58. He felt like he was only asleep for a while.

"Reva, are you awake?" asked her mother who suddenly appeared from behind the door.

"Yes, Mom. But my head suddenly hurt a lot" replied Reva. He held his head and remembered the dream.

"Maybe you're too tired today. Rest up. You don't have to push yourself" said his mother. Reva just nodded.

"Is the dream a clue? But I still don't trust him. Why can't I remember anything about the girl in the dream? I'm so dizzy," Reva wondered inwardly.

***

Three days passed. For some reason since then, Reva has always had the same dream. He always met the girl in a dream in a dark room. The girl is like her light. But then the girl disappeared like she was swallowed by darkness. Every time Reva asks who he is, he only answers if he is his twin brother. He never mentioned his name.

"Bella, I want to ask you again about dreams" Reva said upon arriving at school.

"What do you want to ask?" ask Bella. Reva recalls her dreams.

"Look. You once said that the dream is a sleeping flower that mostly has no meaning. But what if the dream happens over and over again every night?" Reva asks for an explanation from Bella. Bella thought hard.

"It happens over and over again?" ask again. Reva nodded.

"It's very likely that the dream has significance to you" Bella replied.

"What is important?" Reva asked back. He has not been able to catch the meaning of Bella.

"What are you talking about?" suddenly Vian interrupted. He makes Reva and Bella surprised.

"That's a dream," Reva answered quickly.

"Ah, yes. Maybe you can help answer Reva's questions" Bella continued.

"What's that?" ask Vian.

"Bella, help me pick up this book!" yelled Eva, their classmate.

"Oh, wait a minute!" Bella yells back.

"You guys just continue the discussion. I'll be right back" Bella said as she ran.

"Alright, Reva. What do you want to ask?"

"Look, Vian. I have the same dream every night. Wait, not just every night, but every time I fall asleep. The dreams that come are always the same. I don't understand why it happened" Reva explained the dream she had.

"How long have you been experiencing it?" ask Vian. Reva counted using her fingers.

"Emmm... It's been three days in a row. That dream always haunts me. It's almost like terror" Reva replied. Vian was trying to understand the intent of Reva.

"Dreams that happen over and over again may indicate that you have a problem with the person in the dream" Vian explained.

"But what if I don't recognize the person in the dream?" Reva asked back. His voice became soft.

"Maybe that's the problem. Can you tell me about the dream you had, Va?" pinta Vian's. Reva looked at him deeply.

"Alright" he answered.

But suddenly the class entrance bell rang. Seen an expression full of disappointment from Reva's face.

"It's okay. I'm ready to listen to him anytime. What about at break time?" ask Vian. Reva smiled as she nodded.

"All right."
