The Island of Dream
The Dream that Felt Real
Mary
Just today then I will find my peace away from the city
Mary Kim 23 years old. Live in the city but she always wanted to live a quiet peaceful life.
It was the last day before summer break.
Mary Kim… looked like she hadn’t slept in days.
Gimmy
[Coworker - Gimmy]: Mary, you okay? You look exhausted again.
Mary
[sign softly]: Yeah just the usual. Work, traffic, noise. Same Cycle, different day. Work has been getting stressful these days.
Gimmy
Well, tomorrow’s freedom day! Any vocation plans?
Mary
Somewhere peaceful Quiet
Gimmy
"Ooh~ Running away to a paradise? Or just running away from life?"
Mary
[Mary – half-smiles]:
"Both… maybe."
After work Mary head home straight
That night, Mary packed her small luggage.
Not just clothes… but hopes too.
Mary
I don’t why I feel like crying and miss someone I never know. What is this feeling.
Mary
I hope I will be better if I move away from the city.
She lay down and drifted off to sleep
That night she had a dream, She stood on the shore of glowing beach. She heard voices.
Man[Mary…] Children Laughing[Mommy Play with us] Mary can’t see their face and no matter how much she ran she never reach them.
Mary
That dram again. Since I was a child I always had a dream at a peaceful place but today so different, I even heard people calling me.
Mary
Now I think I need to prepare to start the new day.
Mary had book her trip weeks ago. A remote island far away from the city. Moha Isantra. She found it while she searched for quiet destinations. The journey was long Bus Boat then another boat.
Hour past. The word faded behind her Until-
The island was majestic. Mountain kiss the clouds. The sea shimmered like liquid sapphire. Palm trees wave hello in the wind. It was more beautiful than the dream.
Moha Isantra Island located far away from the city but it is a beautiful majestic Island. The island was isolated and become one of the country because the citizens have live there a long time.
Mary walked alone to the village. Bird sang and flower bloomed. Everything felt alive. She glanced at the sea. Then at the sky. Then—
She slipped on the uneven path. Her foot twisted. She fell.
Mary’s eyes opened. She saw a woman sat nearby.
Queen Mother Melea
Oh My! You’re Awake
Mary
Wh-Where am I? Who are you?
Queen Mother Melea
Are you still hurt child? I will call them.
Mary
What happening? Ow! my head hurt. Oh I remembered I felt on the way to the village.
Endra
Mary My wife…are you okay?
Two boys ran in, hugging her tightly.
Norak
[Crying] Mommy you awake!
Rama
Are you still hurt mommy
Mary
[confuse] I just arrive today and now two boys call me mommy and a man call me his wife
Mary getting nervous she didn’t know what just happened.

Mary
**Mary (thinking):**
Why does everything feel… so real?
Mary
Is this… another dream?
*(She pinches herself. It hurts.)*
Mary
It hurts? Then this is real? No it can’t be.
Norak
Mommy! Why did you do that? Does it hurt? 🥺
Mary
**Mary (thinking, alarmed):**
Mommy…? Are they talking to me?
I’m so confused yet why I feel familiar with them, I feel like I want to hug them and let them know I was find. What is this feeling.
Endra saw the situation and felt something wrong, he step in.
Endra
Boys… Mommy just woke up. She’s still not feeling well.
Let her rest a little, alright? I promise you can see her later.
Boys hesitated at first but they agreed.
*(The maid takes them out gently. Mary watches them leave, confused and pale.)*
Mary
What happened to me, I was sure I just arrive at the island for my vocation then I… I can’t remember anything.
Mary feeling confuse, she hope to sleep and wake up and everything will be back to normal, feeling dizzy and exhausted, Mary passed out again.
Endra
Mary…. Doctor Andy (Endra quickly calls the doctor.)
Endra
Doctor, what’s happening to her? Why she’s didn’t remember anything?
Doctor Andy Quickly Running a check on Mary condition.
Doctor Andy
My lord… it appears Lady Mary has lost part of her memory.
Endra
**Endra (shocked):**
Memory loss…?
Doctor Andy
Her mind has reverted to a time around four or five years ago. It like she remembers the part because of a certain drama or her recent dream.
She doesn’t seem to recall the recent years — not the island, the children… or even you.
Endra
So she forgot everything here…?
Endra
Doctor Andy Is there any way to treat that?
Doctor Andy
Yes, my lord.
Memory might return gradually — triggered by emotions, familiar people, or places.
Doctor Andy
Anyway my lord, I and my team will continue to check up on the Lady condition and we will find more way to help with her recovery.
Endra
Do everything it takes to make my wife recover.
Doctor Andy leave the room.
Endra
**Endra (quietly, sitting by Mary):**
You don’t remember me… or our children…
Endra
*(He gently brushes hair from her face.)*
I’ll help you remember, my dear.
No matter how long it takes.
### **Later – Endra office**
Endra
Han. Did you find anything?
Han, Endra trustful man and Hand of the king.
Han
Yes, my lord.
Lady Mary’s maid claims she found her unconscious near the shore with a head injury.
Endra
Anything suspicious?
Han
A bracelet was in her hand.
But the maid swears she hadn’t worn it in a long time, She didn’t know why it was there when she found lady Mary.
Endra
Is she telling the truth?
Han
We’re still investigating. But I’ve ordered a deeper check.
Endra
Good. Keep going until we know the truth.
Whoever did this to her… I will not forgive.
Endra
Also… keep Mary’s condition secret.
No one outside this house must know she lost her memory.
Endra
*(Endra thought)* Who dare to hurt my wife in my own land?
Endra
*(Endra turns away, his face serious but quietly aching.)*
**Endra (thinking):**
You forgot me…
But I’ll make sure… you fall in love with me all over again.
Not A Dream
Mary
Ow ! my leg hurt. I think I twisted my ankle.
Mary
Who are you? Why can’t I see your face?
In her dram Mary saw man face blurry.
Mary
Mary (thinking)
Ugh… my head...
Wait... I’m still here?
She turns slowly and sees a man asleep beside the bed, a document still in his hand.
Mary
Mary (thinking)
Did this man… stay here all this time?
So this is not a dream.
She blinks, confused, staring at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Mary
Mary (thinking)
Is this… Isantra Island? The one I came to visit?
Or somewhere else?
Mary (gasps softly)
No way...
Did I just… time travel?
She clutches the blanket in disbelief.
Mary
Mary (thinking)
I used to read stories like this — people waking up in strange places.
Still… this place doesn’t feel old or ancient.
Everything here looks modern... peaceful...
Endra stirs awake, his voice calm and deep.
Endra
Mary...
You’re awake. Are you still in pain?
I’ll call the doctor right away.
He gently reaches for her hand.
Mary
Mary (awkwardly pulling back)
I’m okay now... I think...
Endra
Endra notices her hesitation and lowers his hand respectfully.
I’m sorry.
You must be confused, but don’t worry…
I’m Endra — your husband.
Mary
This can’t be.
Where is this?
Why can’t I remember anything?
Endra
You’re on Isantra Island.
You slipped near the shore and hit your head…
But the doctor says you’ll recover soon — even your memory.
In fact Endra didn’t told Mary about the real accident because he didn’t want her to get worried.
Mary watches Endra's face closely — his concern feels sincere, his voice gentle.
Mary
Mary (thinking)
He’s caring for me like I really am his wife…
Could it be that the real Mary’s feelings are still inside me?
Mary
What about the kids?
Mary
Endra is your name right?
Endra
Yes and your husband
Mary
How can I trust you?
Mary
Wait no I need to confirm something. My parents, what about my parents at the city ?
Mary
I need to see my parents.
