The Rendezvous: Pompeii

tour

~Dusan~ (July 19 2019):

I woke up, having the same dream.

I got up, went to the mirror, untangled my stupid dark hair, wore my coat and left for the airport ( of course I brushed my teeth and took bath).

I boarded the flight. Finally I was able to go and visit Pompeii. Most of my dreams revolved around that place.

I got down at napels (nearest airport) took a cab and went to a cheap hotel. I got a room there, a little worn down, but worth the money. And the next day I would leave for Pompeii.

I jumped to my bed (quite hard) and fell asleep soon. I dreamt. The same dream. Again.

(July 20 2019):

"That's dream again huh?" I mumbled as I got ready for my long wished tour.

I got a local cab and arrived at the famous city of Pompeii which had been destroyed due to the eruption of Vesuvius.

I found it rather boring, even though it was my wish, for years, to visit Pompeii. I sighed and just continued to walk with my heads down.

Suddenly, with a thonk, something hit my head. "Ouch", I realised I had walked into a GOD DAMNED pole. I turned around to see if anyone saw this embarrassing moment, but, thanks to my bad luck, about 25 tourists stared at me. Some of them even giggled. I started to walk like nothing had happened. "Hey! You alright?", A girl approached me. She started to speak, but I my mind completely ignored her speach. It was rather filled with thoughts like 'Man, she's so beautiful, she has nice long red hair, electric blue eyes' and so on.

I shook the thought Outta my brain. Shit! what the heck happened to me?! Damn the useless pole! I smiled at her and bluntly left. I came to a table nearby and sat down, bent and covered my face in my hands. I felt so tired.

After a few minutes I got up, just walked around because I had paid quite a sum on this tour. But I felt that something was missing, something was off and I really didn't know what. I came back to the hotel for dinner.

(July 21 2019):

As I was walking around the city the next morning, I came across a man shouting, "wrestling, join for free! Win this precious jade choker for your girlfriend or wife!!"

I don't know what came up to me but I signed my name in the list. There were only 4 participants including me, so I thought I had a chance of winning.

There were only three rounds, the first round two people fought, the winner would the second round with another participant. And the winner of the second round will fight me.

I didn't really watch the fight during the first 2 rounds. Instead like an idiot I started regretting my decision to join. I've never wrestled before, ONLY in my dreams!! What the hell am I gonna do?!

introduction

~Dusan~(July 21 2019):

But thankfully the winner of the second round was the same person who won the first. So he had most of his energy drained.

the whistle screeched. It was my round (Took me awhile to realise that). Both of us stared at each other, waiting for the other to move. I am sure he got sick of my stupid face with bright silver eyes (that of a Wolf's), well he made the first move. He came running to punch me. I dodged the punch and grabbed the arm, swung it over my shoulder and did a judo flip.

That guy was pretty heavy so I too fell down with him. For a few moments I did not understand what the situation was (why was I so stupid and weak?). But after I came to my senses I realised I was sitting on that fat guy's face.

He had fainted (I don't know if it was due to my underwear or the judo flip).

And just like that I won the jade choker. After the match a girl came to me, it was the same girl with red hair.

"Hey, Remember me? We met-"

"Yeah, I do"

"You did well for a man who ran into a pole", she teased.

I let an embarrassed laugh.

"Call me Pricsilla.", She introduced herself.

"Dusan", I said and looked at the choker. "Take it, I don't have any female relatives anyway", I handed the choker to her.

She took it and and gave me a bright smile,"thanks!!"

I watched her as she walked away.

Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, "Yo dude you've been standing there for a while."

"Uhh"

"Dude?! DUDE!!"

"Uhh.. Ohhh... Ummm... Sorry what?"

"What are you still standing here for? that girl left half an hour ago!!"

"Ohh!! Sorry, I-I-I didn't realise..."

That man shook his head with a naughty smile and left. Great!! I've embarrassed myself twice after coming here!! Congratulations Dusan!!

Wait.. why the hell did I give away a precious JADE choker away for free?! I could have sold it for some good amount of money!! I felt ridiculous, so stupid!! UGHHH!!!

To get a piece of mind, I left for a walk.

"So travel back, down that road and will she come back, no one knows and I realise, it was only just a dreeeaaaamm....(just a dream~Nelly)" I sang as I walked past a pole (but this time I didn't walk straight into it, don't worry). I stopped at the zebra crossing and waited for the signal (am a person who follows traffic rules).

PING!! Signal came and I crossed halfway, when I tripped over my shoe lace and fell. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! How much bad luck can a person have?!

I crossed the road finally and tied my lace in the pathway. I heard some screeching noise, when I looked up I saw a nice sports car (probably mercedes-AMG C 63) and BANG!!

I felt a sudden sting followed by some immense pain. I heard people screaming, and my vision started to blur. My consciousness started to fade away.

familiarity

~Pricsilla~(July 21 2019)

"Huuuhhh!!! this choker is made of pure jade! worth a lot of money! Moreover it's finely crafted! Who would give it away for free?!", exclaimed my uncle.

He was a goldsmith, a fat man with pretty long beard (not handsome at all).

"Tell me, which idiot gave it, Prisy? He must be having lots more! we'll become rich!!"

"That guy won it in a wrestling competition. And he's not an idiot! he's so sweet! Maybe... A little dumb for his age...", I rolled my eyes.

"Well if he has won it, why would he give it to you? Maybe he likes you! Go hang around with him, he might be pretty rich!!", his eyes gleamed greedily.

"Stop! Stop exaggerating! We've just met each other a few times. How can he like me? Just forget it."

I left the room, a little frustrated from what he said. How can he be so greedy?!

I decided to call my friend (Jennifer) and go to a nearby mall.She stayed in the next room of this hotel.

"Why did you bring me to a mall if you're not gonna buy anything?", Jenna asked, a little puzzled.

"I needed a break from that old man. I just can't stand him."

I told her about my uncle's conversation.

"Is it about that choker? The one that cute guy gave..?"

"Yes"

"Well nobody would give a jade choker for free, maybe he really likes you!"

"It's that stupid old man's idiotic theory, you dummy! He wants me to be with him so he could profit!"

"Fine fine. Let's go back, it's getting pretty late."

On our way back there was a huge crowd gathered on the pathway. I tried to ignore it and continue walking, but you know, curiosity. So I got there to take a peek.

There was a car that hit a small bench. An accident I guess.

There was blood too! The car must have hit the person sitting on the bench.

"Why isn't anybody calling the ambulance?!", I heard someone shout.

Wait... No one called the ambulance?! No one cared about a life?! What the hell is wrong with this society?! People only care about taking pictures of the victim, that too to get themselves some 'popularity' in social media?!

I quickly took my phone out to call the ambulance.

The ambulance came in no time, thankfully. They carefully moved the car and lifted the victim, who rather seemed familiar. Very familiar, like we've been together for years.

"I heard that he was a tourist, poor fellow."

"Yeah... He rather looks young."

Damn these people! Always gossiping!

Upon a closer look I recognised the person, even though, his face was covered in blood. It was that CUTE GUY!!

"Ummm.. Excuse me? Excuse me! Which hospital will you be taking him", I asked a nurse.

"Hospital Maria Rosaria", she said.

I took my friend back to the hotel and then caught a cab and left to the hospital Maria Rosaria, to check on him. Not because I liked him or anything. But because I felt I knew him more than what I thought I did.

He was very familiar. It's just like Deja vu.
