Day 1
"Hi.. You new here?"
"Yes.. Maybe.. I do not know.."
"What is your name?"
"I'm Nadine..."
My body was aching, my head hurts..
-------------------------------------------------- --------
Day 2
It was getting dark. I do not know why I'm in this place. The place is quiet, a lot of rock and surrounded by trees. I could not seem to get out of this. Why am I here? I try to remember why I got in this place.
"Hi Nadine .."
"You ... you were yesterday asking my name ..”
"Yes, true.."
"You live here?"
"Hhhmmm...."
"No need to be answered.."
It is too confusing. I do not care who he is. What he is doing here and why he asked me. I'm getting confused, I do not want to think anything. My head hurts.
"Nadine, how long you've been here?"
"I do not know.. maybe a day, a week, or a month.."
How long have I here? I do not know. Why is it all feels weird.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3
Hmm.. The smell of white roses. The smell I liked. I tried to open my eyes.. why it is heavy. I tried so hard. But still couldn’t open my eyes.
"Nadine.. I miss you"
Theo... Theo.. Is that you? Theo, I could not open my eyes, help me...
Why Theo did not answer, why he remained silent.
"Theo .."
My heart ached, my head ached, why could not open my eyes .. I want to see theo ..
Please help me..Theo
"Nadine .."
"You ... Why are you here? What is your name?"
"My name is Benjamin .."
Benjamin..His face glow and this is the first time I watched him properly. He was a handsome young man, with a broad chest. I saw him lifting his eyebrows, as if he heard me. Then he smiled a little. His smile made me uncomfortable ..
"Nadine!!"
"Ah... I'm sorry.. Ben"
"There are white roses"
Ben pointed downward. White roses laid on the grass. I remembered the smell of white roses and heard Theo voice before. What was happening? Why can't I open my eyes at that time.
"Nadine, you like white roses?"
"Yes.. I liked it very much."
I smile and remember the first time Theo gave me a white rose. I really miss him. I miss him so much.
"Why are you sad?" Ben's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"It's okay." I tried to smile, but my heart ached.
"Maybe those roses for you Nadine".
I smiled.
Ben stood beside me.
For a long time we were silent. My eyes were still staring at the white roses. The wind was blowing hard, shook the leaves on the trees. But I don't feel the cold.
Strange..
"It might rain soon." Ben saw trees blowing in the wind.
"Ben, my head hurts."
"Hmmmm ..."
Ben was silent ...
---------------------------
Day 4
I opened my eyes and it was dark. I saw white roses on the grass. But not the flower that yesterday I saw. Today there is only one flower there.
"Nadine ..."
"Ben .."
I just realized Ben had very soft voice, he smiled. He was dressed in white and his hands on the handheld in the back. With shoulder-length hair that fell in the wind, he walked up to me.
"There is the white rose again."
"Yeah.. I do not know who put it here. But I loved it "
Ben smiled at me. Why do I say this to him. I do not know. I feel happy.. but I also feel very sad. I do not know why.
"Nadine, your head still hurt?"
I shook my head.
"Why are you in this place? Do you remember?"
I can't answer, I just shook my head. I thought, why am I here?
Ben smiled.
"You got here three days ago and you look in pain."
Yes, now I remember the pain that I have never felt before. The pain is intense in all over my body.
"What happened to me?"
Ben just smiled and didn't say anything. He stood in front of me.
"Everything feels weird, I've never felt terrible pain like that."
Suddenly Ben stretched out his hand, and he said,
"Come here, I want to show you something."
I raise my eyebrows, because this is very strange. What would Ben show me? Why would I put my hand over his hand? Hesitantly, I reached out my hand and walked toward him.
Ben hands warm even it was night. When I reach next to him, he smiled and said, "Turn around and look the white rose".
What does it mean? Turn around? What will I see? But I turned around my body and follow his orders.
I saw white rose placed on the grass, then I see a stone with my name written on it. Under my name is the date of my birth and a different date. I freeze instantly. I can't breathe, I couldn't move, I couldn't think. My chest ached, I felt sad. Ben's hand more tightly holding my hand.
"This is my grave? Does this mean I'm dead? "
Ben did not answer, so I turned my face and saw his eyes. Ben nodded and he smiled a little.
"When was I die?"
"Three days ago you arrived here".
"Ben, what's going to happen next?"
"Who knows," Ben replied.
"Ben, are you also dead like me?"
Ben was silent. And the smile on his face disappear instantly. Maybe my question offended him. I did not mean to hurt him.
"Ben, I'm sorry.."
"We'd better get out of here. Come.."
Where? Why do we have to go? I do not understand.
Then we walked toward a large tree not far from the grave. We like to hide behind the tree.
"Ben, why are we here?"
Ben didn't answer, he stood up and looked to the grave. I stood beside him and look in the same direction. Shortly thereafter, there was a light approaching. As a light from a flashlight. There were two people walking toward the grave. But I could not see their face because it was too dark.
When they reached my grave, one of them knelt down and cried. From her voice I knew that she was a woman. And the person holding the flashlight stands behind.
"Nadine.. I'm sorry."
"Please bless us."
What does she mean? I don't understand. Who is this woman and why she apologized. The last sentence, I can't understand, "Bless us" I do not understand. The woman continued to cry. She was sobbing. Then the man standing behind her said, "Let's go back."
The woman then stood, sobbing, she still cries. They walked away and out of my sight.
"Nadine..."
Ben interrupted my thoughts. I looked at him.
"You know those two who came?"
I shook my head, "I can't see them, because it was too dark."
Ben paused and smiled weakly. He said, "We should get out of here"
Ben grabs my hand and we walked. But my mind is still thinking about who she was and what she said.
