Her Spirit

I woke up before sunrise and slept again on a Thursday morning (21 March). That is when I dreamt this short dream. The dream is about me meeting with the girl who I first loved. The last time I saw her was in 2007, that was a long time ago. She started working in KK last year and started a relationship with some guy who studies medical course. 

The plot was in Kota Kinabalu city. I was standing on the street with a girl. I could not recognize that girl but in that dream, she was my friend. She was looking for something or someone in this city and I offered to guide her because I knew this city better than her.

I went forward in front of a signboard and read the list of shop names on it. Sugarbun was the only shop starting with the letter "S". Then something struck my mind. I remembered that this is the shop where my first crush (love) works in. (In real life she is working in some other shops, not Sugarbun) I missed her so much as it has already been 6 years since I last met her so I quickly entered the restaurant and looked for her.

She was nowhere in sight so I asked one young boy who works there. "I am looking for Sally ?" (yeah, Sally is her name) The boy smiled and led me to the kitchen. I looked around and a figure emerged from a dark corner of the kitchen, I immediately recognized that is Sally. The boy happily gave me wrote to me her mobile phone number - I remember something like 01XX9090X8X. Then Sally quickly snatched the paper away with shy feelings.

I suddenly felt sad because she was just a spirit, this means that she had died already for a long time without my knowing. I mysteriously understand that her boyfriend was partly the cause of her death. She proceeded to cook some foods in the wok. There is a bright blue gravy stuff on the rice. Sally asked me (in Mandarin) whether I loved her (because her boyfriend did not really love her). I kept quiet for several seconds and replied in stutters. Then I finally gathered enough courage to tell her honestly that I loved her since young.
She became very happy and came to me, showing her smiling face. Somehow I felt that her soul has gained peace knowing that someone truly loves her.

She came close facing me. I can see that her face has decayed a little bit, making her look like an old lady. However, I do not feel any fear despite the fact that she is a ghost with a half-decayed face. I touched her cold hand and told her I really love her and how sad am I to know that she had passed away. She asked why did my friend outside did not followed me into the restaurant. She then told me to book a boat ticket for the two of us on 10 April which was several days away. She wants to have a party with me before she can officially R.I.P.

I woke up, feeling sad and happy at the same time. I then quickly jolted down this dream. I remembered talking about Sally yesterday to my friend Honor Sve at the stadium. Maybe this is what made me dreamt of her. I contacted Sally the next day through FaceBook and I was glad to find her still alive. She has resigned her work in KK and returned to Tawau. My friend Sve was excited after hearing about my dream, he was planning to buy some lottery based on the numbers from my dream.
