章節 3: Chapter 3- A mysterious place

The next morning, you wake up and feel the bright sunlight falling on your face. You can't open your eyes due to the sunlight on your face but you can hear diverse birds tweeting outside. "So peaceful.. Back in my world.. I don't think we would find this peace just honking of cars.." you think. Suddenly, the platform on which you were sleeping started to move.

"What.. What is happening?" you think startled, when unexpectedly you fall down on the ground. "Ow!!" you groan on the ground. "Y/N! Are you okay?" you hear someone shout from above. You finally open your eyes and find that it was C/N. "Yeah... Just broke my butt.." you say trying to get up. He gets down from the bed and offers you his hand. You get up with his help and ask, "Thanks... How did I fall on the ground in the first place?" "I don't know actually..." he says. "Before I fell.. The platform on which I was sleeping started shaking... And then I fell.." you explain. "Wait... Were you.. Were you sleeping on top of me?" he asks. You think for a while and then say, "Yeah.. That could be possible.. Wait! I was sleeping on top of you?!"

After you calmed down, C/N says, "I guess you have recovered in 2 days... Let's go to the place I was talking about..." "Ok..." you say and start getting ready. He takes you in a carriage outside the palace. After traversing for hours and hours, you finally reached the destination.

It was a spacious lush green field with variety of flowers blooming in every corner. In the middle of all these miscellaneous herbs and shrubs was a colossal Cherry Blossom.

You are just mesmerized by the beauty and can't stop admiring it. "Y/N?" C/N called you and you came to your senses. "What is this place?" you ask touching a Blue hibiscus. "You will after you touch the trunk of the Cherry Blossom." he answered smiling. You walk over to the tree and touch the trunk slowly.

Instantly your surroundings change and you find yourself in a surreal place. It looked like a very vibrant ocean but you could walk on it. It looked so tranquil and it endlessly spread till where you could see.

You take a step and everything turns pitch black. With nothing in sight, you ask, "C/N? Are you there?" Someone holds you hand and you get startled. "It's me... C/N." he says. "Where are we?" you ask puzzled. "Well, this place is the portal to our world.." he answered. "What? That means we can get out of this place right?" you ask hopefully. "No... We can only see our world through this portal not travel through it." he replied sadly. "Oh... But I can't see anything yet.." you say.

"Yes, I know.. Think about a person from our world that always supported and cheered you up." he instructed. Instantly a picture of your friend came in your mind and you started imagining all your good memories with her. Bunking Maths class, sneaking out in the middle of the night, reading mangas and a lot more.

Just as you open your eyes, you see a black and white vision in front of you.

In this vision, you could see yourself and C/N lying on the hospital beds unconscious. Your friend and C/N's friends are also there besides you both. "It's us.." you say. "Yeah.." he says. Your friend looked really sad and traumatized. One of C/N's friends went over to her and comforted her by saying, "Don't worry.. They will wake up.." She looked at him with surprise and said, "Yeah.. You are right.."

Just then, a doctor walked in the room and said, "I understand how worried you must be but please rest assured. They will be just fine. But they could be in coma for a while.." All of them looked relieved and happy.

You smile and say, "I can't wait to go back to my world.." "Same.." he said smiling too. You take a step forward to touch the bright vision but everything then becomes black again and the next moment, you are back in the Cherry Blossom field. You just can't stop smiling for some reason and then say, "This is... Too awesome!" "I know.." he said. "It feels like I am in a manga, man!" you shout.

After enjoying the sceneries for a while, C/N said, "Come on.. We should return to the palace or people will find that we snuck out.." "Wait.. We snuck out?" you ask cluelessly. "Yeah.. I didn't tell anyone.. If we don't go now, suspicions will raise and the rumors will start spreading.." he explained. "Ok.. Then let's go!" you shout and take his hand.

After you reach back to the palace, you roam around exploring the unknown world when you suddenly stumble across an adorned and huge place.

You see a lot of servants running around with decorations in their hands.

You see one servant and ask him, "Um.. Excuse me, what are all these decorations for?" "Greetings your highness. It seems you forgot that it is your birthday in two days. And His Majesty has ordered us to embellish this place." he replied happily. "Oh Ok...Thank you." you say and start walking out of the hall. "So what is her age again?" you think. "17 right? Wait.. That means I am going to turn 18.. An adult! But I am still 15 in my world.." you mumble out loud.

After thinking for while, you say, "Forget it man! I don't care.." And with that you start running around.
