Chapter 20: Chapter 20) Nightmare
Chapter 20)
After that Gu Shanyan, Gu Shan'an and her other siblings also gave her some little gifts as her welcome. Even Gu Yanran and Gu Yanwen had also kept their faces and had given her a pot of pum tea and an embroidered silk scarf.
They really bear to part with their possessions.
After gathering her spoil of the day, Gu Yanyan finally returned to her Water Pavilion.
Since the sun had already gone down and moon was already in the sky, reflecting it's light, the pond in the Pavilion which wad freshly filled with water was illuminating brightly.
A myriad of stars were reflecting their lights along with the moon on the surface of the water making it look more ethereal than it already was...
So beautiful scenery suddenly reminded Gu Yanyan of her modern world, where even in night, the city will not stop and neon colour lights would illuminate throughout the night making it almost parallel to day if not fully.
Thinking of her friends and family in that world she took a deep breath.
How would be they doing there? Would they be missing her too? What happened to her after that explosion? Did she died or went into in coma and come into this world to live her fantasy before she would wake up or she had already died on the spot and had already been cremated and God had taken some mercy in her and sent her to this world to continue living.
But then why her assistant came to this world too? Did she also died with her and had been cremated by her side to keep up company in afterworld or she went into coma and because they were in the explosion in the same time they entered each other's dream and came into this world together?
What the hell would have happened to send them in this world? What physical equation they had cracked that they travelled all the time and space and reached into this world?
Such type of questions would often come into her mind but after not getting any answer and wasting her time for nothing Gu Yanyan just let out a sigh and returned to her room.
After bathing and getting her hair dried and massaged with Jasmine oil she slipped into her bed and retired for the night.
In midnight she was having a nightmare.
In her nightmare the scene was after the explosion, after she died, after everything was turned into nothing but smoke and ashes.
More than a dozen of cars and other vehicles were turned up side down. Everywhere was only blood and cries. Victims were screaming in pain while their families were screaming for them.
Police and ambulance's loud sirens were howling like ghosts in the dark night, making everyone shiver in fear of death.
Police had already blocked the area of accident. Ambulance were loading injured and dead bodies one by one.
When she suddenly saw her own body in the mid of the bloody mess.
A man dressed in black was trying his best to pull her out from her half burned car which had turned upside down after the explosion.
Her skull was split open because of banging in her car's interior many times throughout the accident. Her limbs were bloody, may be already broken to no amend. When the man had already pulled her out of the car, she noticed there was still a body in the car's driver seat. It was her assistant, Yang Xumei.
Even though she knew that they were already dead, she still wanted to tell him to take her assistant out too. She was scared, if there would be another explosion in the car because of fuel or something, her assets won't even have a full body to be cremated.
She was still screaming at the man who seemed to not hear her voice when she saw another shadow looming towards the driver's seat and the second man directly tore of the car window and pulled out her assistant.
She was so focused on checking her assistant that she didn't see the look on tge man's face when he finally got her dead body out of the car.
He was looking at her so intently as if she was not a dead body but a living and breathing person.
When she suddenly felt a touch on her face, she was startled but there was no one by her side who could touch then this touch?
Another caressing on her face sent tingle on her already numb face.
She turned and looked at body in that man's embrace.
As she was standing behind her, she couldn't see his face.
From her angle she could only see a bloody hand caressing her half burned face with so much gentleness as if he was scare of hurting her, if he touched her little hard.
With feather like touches came a warm blow of air as if trying to sooth her burning on her face.
So much love... so much gentleness.
Gu Yanyan felt as if someone was clenching her heart and choking her making her feel breathless.
Was there someone who loved her so much?
If there was, then why didn't he appeared when she was still alive?
Did he know how much she craved to have someone who loved her like this and who cared for her like this?
Idiot.
Useless.
When he didn't appeared when she was alive, then why come now when she was already dead?
Just leave her there to let her blood to dry and her flesh to rot.
She turned her face away from his and snorted in the air when she felt warm droplets of tears falling on cheeks.
Hmph.
She was already dead, what was there to cry for?
Just take her body away and already burn it least you see it more and feel hurt.
She so much wanted him to listen her advice.
But no matter how much she screamed he wouldn't be able to hear.
In the end she could only mumbled under her breath.
"Idiot."
