The Painful Truth

The atmosphere in the dream was heavy and saturated with mystery. Yu Ling stood before me, her eyes filled with sadness and pain. I felt on the brink of discovering something that would change my life forever.

Lei Wei: "Please, tell me everything. Who are you? What is happening?"

Yu Ling sighed deeply, as if preparing to reveal a buried secret.

Yu Ling: "Lei Wei, I am not just a dream. I am a part of your past that you tried to forget. You knew me when we were children, we were best friends."

Memories intertwined with her words, and I began to see images from my childhood. I used to play with a little girl in a white dress, and she smiled at me with the same mysterious smile I had seen in my dreams.

Lei Wei: "You're Ling, aren't you? The girl who lived next to us?"

Yu Ling nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Yu Ling: "Yes, I am Ling. But what you didn't know is what happened after you and your family left the city."

Her voice was filled with pain, and my heart clenched. I knew something terrible had happened.

Yu Ling: "After you left, my family suffered a terrible accident. Our house burned down, and my mother lost her life. As for me, I survived but I suffered physical and psychological scars."

I felt a profound shock overwhelm me. How could I have forgotten all this? How could I have left my close friend to endure all this pain alone?

Lei Wei: "I'm sorry, I didn't know. Why didn't you try to reach out to me?"

Yu Ling replied with a broken voice:

Yu Ling: "I tried, but you moved to another city and started a new life. I didn't want to be a burden to you."

Her words pierced my heart like knives. She was my close friend, and I had left her to face all this pain alone.

Lei Wei: "Yu Ling, I will do anything to make amends. Please, give me a chance."

She looked at me with her dark eyes, a sad smile appearing on her face.

Yu Ling: "I can't return to life. I am now just a memory, visiting you in dreams to remind you of what happened. But I can help you understand the truth and accept it."

Tears streamed down my face, and I realized this moment was a chance to reconcile with my past and with myself. I needed to accept the truth and learn from it, to move forward.

I woke up from the dream with a heavy weight on my chest. Those dreams were not mere illusions; they were a message from the past, asking me to reconcile with it.

I decided to visit the site of Yu Ling's old house. The house had turned into ruins, with only the ashes of memories remaining. I sat in front of the house and lit a candle in her memory.

Lei Wei (speaking to himself): "Yu Ling, I promise I will never forget you. I will carry your memory with me, and I will learn from everything that happened."

That moment was filled with sadness, but I felt that I had begun to find peace with my past. I had learned an important lesson about love and loss, and the importance of always being there for those we care about.
