In front of me was Sofia, my family physician..

“So what makes my lady scream and cry in the middle of night? Can you tell me the reason for it?” she asked me.

“I was scared…”

“Scared? What scared my lady off?

“When I was asleep, I had a dream…”

“A dream? Is it okay for my lady to tell us about the dream?”

“It’s okay Sofia…It started in the middle of the ballroom………” I told everything to Sofia about the dream, mother and father could hear it.

“That was a weird dream that my lady had been dreaming about, so all the people in the dream didn’t have any faces?”

“Yes, they didn’t have any faces.”

“And my lady seemed to get angry at the woman for without any reason in the dream?”

“Yes, I suddenly felt angry at her.”

“The man had left my lady in the middle of dancing?”

“Yes, he had..”

“Hmmmmmmmmm, and did my lady feel anything in the dream?”

“Feel?”

“Like feel getting hurt in the dream.”

“I felt it…”

“Did my lady have a dream yesterday?”

“Yesterday?”

“Yes, when we introduced ourselves to my lady, after that my lady took a rest.”

“Oh that time, I didn’t have any dreams from yesterday's sleep.”

“Did something happen today with my lady?”

“Nothing in particular happened today.”

“Hmmmm…as you can see my lady, dreams have a lot of meaning and some sources…because dreams come from our memories of daily life or our physiology or the sound around the sleeper…For my lady to have a dream like that is so weird..because my lady has lost all the memory, it means to have a dream, where my lady doesn’t have any memory of daily life, memory of something precious, or memory something bad is impossible for my lady…And for physiology, I think is impossible too..sometimes people had dreams because their emotions, their fear, their trauma, or their happiness..with 2 days of my lady memory, I think my lady didn’t passed all of that right?? So the question is ‘what is the source that makes my lady dream about it?’.”

“So It is impossible for me to have a dream?”

“It is not impossible, it is possible for my lady to have a dream..hmmmmm..let’s see, can you tell me one things that happened today?”

“One thing…hmmmmmmmm…maybe the meeting of Aurelio and Lady Octavi..”

“Okay…what happened between them?”

“Aurelio was amazed by Lady Octavi’s sword move.”

“Great…so my lady memory has remember it properly of that event…I will tell my lady and everyone in here the amazing thing of dream…as I said dream come from our memories, but in the dream, that memory usually been manipulated or reconstructed by our brain, and usually emotion joined the process of manipulation or reconstruction…”

“What do you mean, Sofia?” Mother asked her.

“Your grace, madam, and my lady…let’s take an example of my lady’s memory about today…the memory is telling about the meeting between young master Aurelio and Lady Octavi, where the young master was amazed by Lady Octavi..Sometimes the dream will expose the memory as real as possible, but the dream usually will manipulate or reconstruct it with emotion of the dreamer…My lady’s dream from that memory can be like this ‘Young master Aurelio and Lady Octavi fight each other with their sword’ or ‘Young master had been hurt by Lady Octavi with her sword’...if my lady was overprotective with young master, I believe the second scenario will be in your dream..The emotion of losing young master, or young master getting hurt will be swelling inside my lady mind, and make the memory is being manipulated and reconstructed by it..”

“So from your hypothesis, Aurelia’s condition is impossible for her to dream about what she has said?” Father joined to ask her.

“Yes, your grace, the dream was far beyond the memory of my lady, and the psychology of my lady, so it is impossible for my lady.”

“Do you know why I had that dream?”

“About that…ehmm…” I saw Sofia turn her face to mother and father, and they turned their face to each other. I felt she was trying to neglect something, and wanted to have a private discussion with them. “It will be alright my lady…but for right now, I think it’s better for my lady to take a rest, and don’t overthink it, like I said about dream, if my lady has overthinking about this, the chance of the dream appear again will be high…just take a rest…let me excuse myself, my lady.” Sofia stood up from the bed. She left the room.

“It will be alright Aurelia..” Father said to me.

“Aurelia, just take a rest…” Mother stroked my head, helped me to lay down in the bed, and lifted the blanket to me “Just don’t overthink it, darling.” Kissed my forehead “Everything will be alright…Good night, and have a nice dream.”

“For you, you can sleep in the room beside this room, I believe it is empty and has been well cleaned, so you will be the first one to know if something happens with Aurelia.” Father said to Adel.

“Yes, your grace..”

“Good night Aurelia..” Father and Mother said to me in front of the door.

Father, mother, and Adel left the room..

….

…

..

.

I tried to sleep, but just kept thinking about what Sofia said..

“Dreams come from my memory and my psychology, so how that dream could be manifested to my head..” I was talking alone “That’s why everyone in the dreams didn’t have any faces, because I don’t have any information nor memory about them…So who is this blonde man and red-haired woman? Why is there a grudge against them?”

Suddenly I could hear a shout of anger from outside behind the door, it was like someone was having a conversation.

“Is that mother and father? Are they having a discussion with Sofia about my condition ... .Let's just try to fall asleep.”

I closed my eyes…………

Suddenly full of bright red in my vision, I opened my eyes, and it was a light from the door of the balcony. Adel had drawn open the curtains, because it was morning already..

She pulled my blanket, and helped me to get up from sleep. After I got up from sleep..

“Good morning, my lady..”

“Good morning to you too..”

“Does my lady have a good night's sleep?”

“Well, I just closed my eyes, and suddenly it was morning already…”

“So the dream was not coming up again?”

“After I told Sofia, the dream was not coming up again..”

“Is that great, my lady?”

“Yes, it is ... .and last night, after my father and mother left the room, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting in anger, were they talking outside of my room?”

“Hmmmmm…I didn’t recall his grace and madam talked in front of my lady room.”

“That was weird…I recalled it, that I heard someone from outside..”

“Maybe, it was my lady’s imagination…How about we start the morning? I believe his grace and madam are already in the dining room for breakfast.”

“Yess…you need to transform me everyday and every morning…”

I stood up from bed…

“What do you mean about transforming my lady?” Adel was talking to me while we walked to the dressing table.

“Is it not transforming?”

“No, it is not…It beautifies the beauty of my lady..”

“Right..right..right”

I sat at the dressing table, and Adel started to makeup me and dressed me up…

After a long time of makeup and dressing me up…Finally it was over.

“I am still unbelieving about this…” I was still sitting at the dressing table.

“Unbelieving about what, my lady?” Adel in the middle tidied up all the makeup jar to the drawer dressing table.

“That I need to have all of this every morning..” I took a closer look in the mirror.

“It is my lady duty to keep beautiful, and it is my obligation to maintain it.”

After that, we left the room, and Adel led me to the dining room. In the dining room, there was already father and mother at the table. The little two seemed to haven't arrived yet. Adel set up my chair, I sat in the chair, and she set it again to close to the table, and she left the room.

“How’s your condition Aurelia?” Father asked me.

“I am fine, father..”

“Did you sleep well?” Mother asked me

“Yes, I did, mother. After I told Sofia about the dream, I slept well..”

“I am relieved to hear that…If you have a nightmare that is so real, you can tell mother, or Sofia, Aurelia.” Mother said..

“It’s gonna be alright, sure I will tell mother if I had it.”

“Don’t forget to tell your father too..” Father said.

“Of course, I will not forget about you, father..”

The little two have come to the dining room. The two maids set up the chairs, lifted them up to the chairs.

“What?? sister Aurelia having a nightmare?” Aurelio talked while being lifted up to the chair

“Really, is it a scary nightmare, sister Aurelia?” Ophelia talked while her chair was set up closer to the table.

They set up the chairs closer to the table, after that the two maids left the room..

“Well, last night, Sister Aurelia had a scary nightmare…” I said to the little two..

“I had a nightmare once, and Livia came to comfort me…” Aurelio said.

“Livia??” I asked him..

“She is the maid of Aurelio, who always stays beside him…and my maid name is Martia, who is always beside me.” Ophelia answered it..

“Yes, Livia always comforts me…She is very nice…”

“Does your maid Adel comfort sister Aurelia when sister had a nightmare?” Ophelia asked.

“Yes she was…”

“Was it nice?” Aurelio asked.

“Yes it was..”

Father out of the blue “Aurelia, today you….”

The little two turned their faces to father, immediately stood up from the chair and said “ARGHHHHHH!!” and pointed their finger to father..

“What?” Father asked…

“Father is trying to steal sister Aurelia again…” Aurelio said.

“Father has already promised that today we will have sister Aurelia…” Ophelia said.

“Ahh…right…right” Father answered.

“Ophelia, think what would have happened, if father broke his promise.” Mother asked Ophelia with some cynical smile

“If father broke his promise, he would take us to stroll the city and do sho…..arghh!!!” Ophelia suddenly realized something and seemed to think harder about it.

“It seems Ophelia realized it, and what will Ophelia choose?” Mother asked..

“What’s going on Ophelia?” Aurelio worried.

“My..my…*giggling* Aurelio doesn’t realize it” Mother said.

“It is more scary that my dear asked Ophelia about my promise, it seems my dear wants it too..”

“Well is it because we are ladies right? Of course we want it..”

“Hey hey hey, Ophelia, what are you thinking about..”

Ah yess, it was like yesterday, the little two had small arguments in their chair even now they were standing on the chair, Ophelia still trying to think about what was the best? Broke the father’s promise or kept it, meanwhile Aurelio didn’t have a clue about it..Meanwhile mother and father had their own conversation…and for me..

“When the food arrived…and what was going on with breakfast in this family?” my thought
