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

Mary
What happening? Ow! my head hurt. Oh I remembered I felt on the way to the village.

Two boys ran in, hugging her tightly.
