Novel & Cerita For Dreams To Freedom

"And what else fills your dreams, Melina? What do you long for?" A sigh escaped my lips, as my eyes glazed over with unshed tears. "I dream of a life where I am free, happy, and where Meemaw and I are safe. I just don't want to be stuck somewhere because of some kind of responsibility," I admitted, my voice barely a whisper. The fear of losing my only family gnawed at my soul.

Together, with the support of those who had offered me sanctuary, I would forge a path forward, one defined not by the scars of the past, but by the promise of a brighter tomorrow. As I drifted off to sleep, cradled in the arms of newfound freedom, I allowed myself to dream of a future untethered by the chains of my past, a future defined by the boundless potential that lay within me. And though the journey ahead would be fraught with peril, I faced it with courage and conviction, secure in the knowledge that I was finally free from the clutches of the monster that had haunted my nightmares for far too long.

She answered. “How come you don’t have a choice?” I asked her. “Mom got me into a scholarship there since she knew it’s my long-time dream to be in Paris.” She answered. “Where’s the Jaiden spirit?” Connor asked. “Think of it this way.” Connor said. “Remember the times you told us about how you dreamed of waking up there, finding your lover there, etc.” He added. “Take it as an opportunity.” “Connor’s right.” I agreed. “Who knows when you will achieve that dream.” I said. “Always remember that we’re here for you.”

And I had been foolish enough to feel guilty, desperate to cure his legs as if I owed him everything. The tears I shed now washed away the last fragments of attachment I had for him. This false marriage, carried on for five years, needed to end here. As I closed my eyes and finally let go, a cold mechanical voice rang through my mind. "Host, the system has detected a second mission failure. Do you wish to terminate it?"

"I used to watch other kids get picked up after school and think that looked like the best thing in the world." Grey's expression softened. "I see." I shrugged. "I got used to not having it. What about you? What did you dream about?" He was quiet for a moment, looking out at the bay where the water was going dark and the first lights were beginning to appear on the far shore. "Freedom," he said finally. "I dreamed about being able to make my own choices. Do what I wanted instead of what was expected. Wake up and decide the day instead of having it decided for me."

May they too reach you in peak. But it doesn’t happen real cheap. You have to pay a big price, I repeat. I repeat. You are sane. Insanity is society that doesn’t see a dream, that doesn’t value dreams. Wow! You are the only free. See dreams while you wake. You create. You make.

“What does freedom feel like?” I stare at the ceiling, at the light that never turns off. “It’s loud,” I say after a moment. “Messy. Scary.” Her eyes widened. “Scary?” “Yes,” I whisper. “Because when you’re free, you can lose things.” She considers that, chewing on the idea like it’s something solid. “I dream of a place,” she says. “I think it’s yours.” My breath catches. “It’s warm. There are trees. Sometimes people laugh in the distance. I never see their faces, but I know they’re important.”

Whatever happens, we face it together. Relief washed over Levi instantly. He grinned like an overjoyed puppy, curling into my arms before leaning in and pressing a soft kiss against my lips. That night, I had a dream. I saw myself being dragged back to the Grant family estate. Silas had prepared a wedding gown for me, forcing me into a marriage I didn't want. Vivian sat in a chair with an eerie smile. My hands were tied, so my struggles were useless. Despair settled deep in my chest—I could already see the miserable fate awaiting me.

I chatted with Matteo for a bit before hanging up. When I turned around, Nyra was staring at me. "Who did you say is going back?" I replied vaguely, "A coworker's applying to transfer back to Myrthia." Nyra smirked, clearly mocking me. "I thought you were the one applying to go back. But then again, you worked so hard to be with me. There's no way you'd leave now." As she said that, she reached out and wrapped her arm around my waist. "Honey, once Jacob gets his green card, we should have a baby."
