Nial's Point of View

'Do you know the meaning of the dream?'
Her voice is weak as she rested her head on my shoulder. Here we are today in a Narra tree on a high mountain. The cold air touching our skin.
'What?' I answered, almost a whisper.
'They say, dreams are events that you want to happen but you don't want to believe or you don't admit to yourself that you want it, so you only experience it in a dream'
I laughed softly because of what she said.
'Ah, so you're preventing yourself from loving, aren't you?'
She removed her head from my shoulder and faced me.
'Huh? How did you say that? '
'Nothing…'
I gave him a sweet smile then looked away.
'Why do you love me so much?'
I was a little surprised because she said that. A big smile draw on my lips as I already knew the answer to her question. But I don’t want to tell her the answer.
'How can you tell if you already love someone? or even not a person?'I asked her instead of answering her question.
'What? Of course you can't love someone who isn't human! '
'It just is! Just answer the question '
She thought a little before answering.
'It's simple, when that person suddenly caused your heartbeat to speed up'
I turned to face her and pulled out his hair that’s covering her face which seemed blurry and invisible.
‘I think yes. I'm probably in love '
She didn't answer but she was obviously still confused by what I said, she suddenly touched my two shoulders while shaking it as if waking me up. I just laughed because of what she did as well as her cute reaction.
'What is that, can you answer me properly?' she complained.
'Well, my answer is good.' I just laughed even harder because of her constant tantrums.
She just raised an eyebrow at me while crossing her arms and looked at me seriously.
'Oh go ahead, I'll just ask you the same question then, do you ever fall in love?' I got serious too and stopped laughing. I just watched her serious look, even though I couldn’t see clearly what she looked like I felt our eyes met.
'Hmmm, not yet?' She looked away after saying that.
I smirked while still looking at her. When will I be able to see what she looks like.

Camerron's Point of View
I feel like I’m rotting here in the hospital. I've been here for almost 1 week, lately they've been confining me here more often, it's been too long I’ve been staying here for 1 week or 2 weeks.
I was just looking at the white ceiling of the hospital while remembering my dream last night, that very weird dream, again. I've waited for another 6 months just so I can dream of him again and I didn't fail, somehow I escaped reality again.
And speaking of reality, the doctor said that I am not allowed to get tired, because my heart is so weak that one day it might just stop functioning and lead me to my death.
I will die.
The first time I heard that, my world almost collapsed, even mom couldn't stop crying. But over time, it seemed like it was just a normal word to me, I don't know, but one day I realized that my fear of death will not make me live longer.
I better accept the fact that with each passing day, my life is going shorter and shorter.
Now, I’m just thinking about how I can enjoy the rest of my life, I should spend it wisely.
Hmmm, what if I grant someone’s wishes? Genie? But I don't have super powers.
My remaining time here on earth needs to be meaningful, I know I haven’t done much in life since I was young. It’s just sad that I had to leave the world immediately and say goodbye.
I rested deeply. If I only knew, I would have done everything I could to make me happy before.
Suddenly I had an idea in my mind so I immediately grabbed a notebook and ballpen from my desk.
I wrote what I should do for the rest of my remaining life here on earth.
I'll be someone's genie by giving him/her a 10 wishes. But of course, I will grant their wishes if it is possible. As I said, I don't have a super powers to grant impossible wishes.
I suddenly felt sad realizing that I might not know the man in my dreams. I probably die before his face become clear.
