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.
Endra
Okay calm down Mary I will call them.
Mary
No I need to talk with them now. Where is my phone.
Mary start to get shaken, at least she have to make sure her parents are okay.
Endra
Okay Now I will get you the phone so you can call your parents.
Latter the maid arrive and have the phone to Mary.
Mary dialed the phone her hand shaking
