CHAPTER 37 - Good parents. Bad dream

One night I woke up with a catastrophic headache. I went downstairs to take a pill. When I was making my way back to my room, I took a look at Lil' Dimka to see if he needed any water. And, on the purple background of his leafs, I spotted a white spot. I took a closer look. It was a little bud!

Without much thought I went directly to Dimitri's door and knocked fast. He opened it and he looked so tired. Then I realized: it was three in the morning and I was banging on his door. Why don't I think things through? His eyes were barely staying open. He brushed them.

'What happened?'

'I'm sorry I woke you up.' I said scratching my arm mindlessly. 'But I saw something and I got so excited and I had to tell you and then the next thing I know is that I am knocking at your door. I'm sorry, comrade.'

'No. It's okay.' we were standing, looking at one another. 'So, are you going to show me?'

'Oh, yeah. Shit. Of course. Come.' he made a grin. 'Yeah, I know, ''Language Rose'' ' I said impersonating him. He looked amused. 'Let's go now.'

I grabbed his hand and took him to where Lil' Dimka was staying.

'What do you see?'

'It's your plant.'

'No, it's our plant. But besides that, what do you see? Look closer.'

He took a step forward and took a better look. 'Is that a little flower?'

'Mhm. Our little baby is blooming. I somehow managed to keep him alive for so long. Thank you for always reminding me to water him. We are such good parents.' I said smiling.

'Yes, I guess we are.' he said pulling me into an embrace from behind. 'And you are going to be such a good mother to our children.'

Come again? My eyes widened in surprise. What did he just say? Our children? Was he thinking about that? Did he even realize what he just said? I looked at him. He was still studying the little bud. Maybe he was too tired and the words just escaped his mouth without realizing. I didn't push things further. But he really said that he wanted to have children together. This thought warmed me wholly.

'Come on, plant poppa. Let's take you to bed. I've kept you up long enough.' I said as I grabbed his hand and headed for my room. We both plopped onto the bed. We fell asleep, he laying with half of his body on mine. He was heavy. But I didn't complain. It was a nice kind of heavy. It made you feel safe.

I was holding hands with Dimitri and we were walking on a beach barefoot. The sun was setting and I felt very happy. We were both dressed in white. I was wearing a beautiful long dress with big poppies on it.

We got into a boat. He was rowing, as were making our way across a river now. The water was such a clear blue. We were both smiling.

When we got to the middle of the river, Dimitri changed. His face was full of anger, and his clothes were black now. He picked me up and threw me into the water. But I didn't fall into the same water from moments ago. This one was dirty and muddy and it was hard for me to swim. He continued to row, leaving me there to drown. The boat was getting further and further away from me. I swam into the other direction and got to the shore. I got up and watched the other side of the river. There, Dimitri was with another woman, dressed as well in white. I could feel that she was beautiful, even though I wasn't able to actually see her face. The only thing I could distinguish was her raven-black hair and a very pale complexion that accentuated the color of her hair even more. They were holding hands and were waving at me.

The next thing, I am into Dimitri's family's house. It was all burned down, smoke still rising from the ruins. I walked around. On the fireplace I found a photo. It was the same image, of them holding hands and waving from the other side of the river. Suddenly it started to rain. Pouring rain. The drops were so big and so cold and they were hurting my skin. The house started to fill up with water somehow and I couldn't find a way out and I began to drown. I was screaming for help but no one came to rescue me.

Someone is shaking me and calling my name. I wake up. I am sweating.

'Roza? Roza?'. It's Dimitri. I look into his eyes and begin to cry. 'It's alright,' he says hugging me tight 'it was just a bad dream. Tell me about it.' and still crying I tell him everything.

'I thought I lost you. You abandoned me and you just simply left with that woman. And I was alone. And I began to drown and no one came to save me.'

'Calm down, it was just a bad dream, Roza.' he said soothing my hair 'I'll never leave you, you know that, right?' I nodded and snuggled closer to him. But why was I having this bad feeling in my heart? I could feel that something wasn't right.

What do you think, guys? Is was just a bad dream?

Am I being too obvious here?

Can you guess what is coming soon?
