Walking Dreams
Memories

The roar of the melodious waves of the beach daydreamed the sweet little girl who was sitting on the rocks. His long hair was scattered and swayed in the wind. The orange color in the sky will soon blacken, but the little girl did not move from her seat. He hummed cheerfully while imagining what it was like to live underwater freely.

" CARLA!!!CARLA....!"

Shouts a woman disperse the reverie of little Carla, she turned her head and found her mother sighing in relief because her son was fine.

"oh, honey..what are you doing here? didn't you say it was dangerous for little Carla to be alone outside in the afternoon?"

His mother asked gently while hugging her beloved son. But he could only smile when Carla showed a happy face.

"But the afternoon sky is really beautiful..."

" Then ask mom to see it ok? though if you go with Carla, you'll definitely bring sweets.."

the woman tried to persuade Carla, Carla's eyes sparkling with pleasure.

" really?!"

" Of course..."

her mother stroked Carla's hair gently. With so much happiness Carla jumped into Yasmin's arms. Hand in hand the two stepped back home.

_____________________________________

Today little Carla plays on the beach as usual, he himself plays and makes his personal palace because during the day his parents will work, rather than doing nothing, he played on the beach near his house.

Carla is now six years old, and she has not been to school, or rather not to go to school as people usually do. Carla's mother, Yasmin, was a middle and high school teacher, and Yasmin was the one who taught her son. Of course Yasmin had good reason not to send her son to school. Carla is a little girl who is a little different to most other kids. It has something that when people see it it will put Carla in danger. For Yasmin the choice not to send her son to school was the right thing.

Carla is still fun playing, this time she went to look for beautiful shells behind rocks, her tiny legs were submerged in knee-high water.her face looked so cheerful and radiant, the plain faces that happy little kids have.

"Haloo!!! "

A voice distracted Carla from the rock, she turned her head and found the slightly older little boy waving. Carla looked confused as she said "did she call me?". Carla pointed at herself, asking what the boy meant was her. The boy nodded strongly with a slightly pale face. Carla gives a sign -" wait! I'll go there"- then walk over while raising a little of her blue skirt.

"Why?"

Carla asked in confusion, seeing the foreign boy looking at her anxiously.

" A-I'm where?"

Carla frowned even more confused by the boy's words.

" of course on the beach, on Sapphira beach! are you a visitor?"

" visitor? not that I just fell asleep in my bed"

the boy who was none other than the Alang was still confused and anxious. Carla patted the boy on the shoulder with a smile.

" maybe you're asleep, but your parents brought you here to sleep, so you're not aware.."

" Is that possible?!"

"hemp? what if you wait for your parents to come and pick you up?I'll stay here"

" really? you want to accompany?"

Carla nodded, finally Little Alang was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly Carla grabs Alang's hand.

" what if we play? let's make a palace together!"

the face of Alang sparkled happily, he nodded and finally they played cheerfully.Even Alang forgot how he got there.

" How is this.My parents haven't come to pick me up yet"

It was getting dark, but Alang's parents still hadn't come to pick him up. Alang's heart riled while rubbing the edges of his clothes. Carla was worried and certainly did not know what to say.

" eee...how about waiting at my house? take it easy your parents must be coming, ok"

Carla tried to calm Alang who was getting riled up, Alang turned to look at Carla with doubt.

" But my parents will be confused looking, do you want to wait any minute?"

Alang asked, but Carla did not pay attention and instead cared about Alang's legs.

" hey, did you hear me?"

Carla looked at Alang with a face of disbelief

" Your k-feet!!!"

Alang was confused by the strange behavior of the little girl in front of him. He looked at his feet and was surprised. His legs started to fade as if they were going to disappear. Alang panicked and so did Carla. Slowly the whole body of the Alang blurred.

" Help me!!!!"

Carla was still glued to her bewildered face.

" Brake!!! oh my goodness, I told you.see! the sky is dark"

Suddenly Yasmin came and hugged him. Carla was still speechless and only nodded when Yasmin advised her.The two returned with Carla's thoughts mixed in.

_______________________

Two days passed and Carla was still waiting for the Alang that might come. Of course because he was curious and demanded the answer "what has happened to the boy?". every afternoon he would come to the place where he first met Alang, he said, while playing sand and looking for beautiful shells.

As of this afternoon, Carla was faithfully still waiting, hoping for the boy to return. Occasionally he looked in the direction where Alang showed the trunk of his nose. But the boy did not come. Disappointed Carla got up from her seat and stepped back home. But as he began to move away from the shore, a powerful leg-banging sound made Carla stop, it approached him like a running man. Carla looked back and was wide in shock when she saw Alang galloping towards her while waving her hand.

"Hey!!! i'm back!!!"

At that time Carla did not know how her feelings of pleasure really overflowed. It passed near the reed.

" How did you get here? and when you disappeared...!?"

Alang smiled.

" I was in a dream! isn't that cool!!!"

Carla tilted her head not understanding, what does that mean with dreams? Carla couldn't digest Alang's words just now. Alang sighed, knowing that this was hard to believe.

" I'm dreaming of meeting you right now! I'm in a dream world!!!"

Carla still doesn't understand.

" But I'm not in the dream world, I'm in the real world!!" Carla said, not accepting that he was just a delusion.

" But when I disappeared I woke up again and was in my room! even now I'm asleep!"

Carla could not answer because Alang completely disappeared at that time.

" If it's a dream, can't you control the dream?! and when you disappeared I should have disappeared too? and once again! I'm not from a dream world!!"

The two were silent for quite a while, glancing at each other there might be other thoughts.

" All right!!! let's just say we met in a dream! and now I'm asleep and you're not!. So now you're talking to my spirit!"

Say Alang with confidence, because that's the only sure possibility. Because he didn't know why he could meet this girl.

" So you're the only one who can come to me?"

" Maybe..."

" I'll take it"

Carla said with a smile, as long as she can play with Alang she will accept it. Carla has no friends because she does not go to school, of course Alang who became her first friend will not let go.

" let's play!!!"

Alang nodded, both of them played on the beach like a boy. And it continued in the days that followed but cared why this strange thing could happen. Dreams that are experienced by Alang do not occur continuously, but intermittent though can be said often. They will finish playing if suddenly Alang disappears like before.

" Well, do you want to be my friend forever?"

Carla said, staring at Alang expectantly on the day that they had somehow met. But today Carla did not smile much, she just followed what Alang wanted to play and did not comment as much as usual.

" Of course ! we are friends forever!!!"

Speak Alang with confidence. Carla smiled happily at him, but a few seconds later Alang scratched her hair and acted uncomfortable.

" Eeee... all this time I-I just called you a bakpao!!! hehehe, I don't know your real name.ehehehe."

Alang misbehaved at once not tasty. Of course it made Carla surprised, she stood up from her seat with a face of disbelief.

" WHAT?!! HOW COME?! I EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME IS ALANG!!"

Carla screams her unreliable rank.

" hehehe sorry...."

Carla snorted in annoyance and crossed her hands.

" remember my name is CARLA!!!"

Carla said so clearly.

" I can't hear you!"

said Alang who was confused, even though he saw Carla who shouted. He looked at his body that began to blur and melt. "ah, surely because of this" said Alang in his heart. Carla just shook her head.

" well.the next meeting I'll tell you"
