Chapter 41 - Lucas's Dream

Time passed and morning had now turned into noon. Without Aidan knowing, he had fallen asleep on the single sofa he had sat on yesterday. However, not long from his sleep on the sofa, Aidan woke up again when he heard the sound of the car horn in the neighbor's house which of course made Aidan open his eyes and look around the room he now occupies. He also looked at the sofa in front of him where Lucas should be right now. Aidan was surprised when he didn't find Lucas in that place and made him turn to the right and left to look for the man's whereabouts.

With a very panicked face, Aidan stood up from his seat. He walked quickly to find Lucas in the house that afternoon. He walked to check one by one the rooms on the first floor and opened all the doors not too tight. When he turned into a room, he met Elizabeth who was in the room. Aidan also breathed a sigh of relief because he still met the owner of the house who he thought was deceiving him. Aidan also approached Elizabeth and asked the woman who was baking a cake in a room that seemed to be the kitchen.

"Lizbeth, did you see where Lucas went?" Aidan asked which made Elizabeth smile hearing that because Aidan looked panicked the first time he met him entering the kitchen.

Elizabeth replied, "Don't worry Aidan... Lucas is already in the room on the second floor." Elizabeth's answer, of course, made Aidan frown upon hearing it.

Aidan asked again, "Did he get up and move into the room?" he asked Elizabeth. The woman shook her head, which of course took Aidan by surprise with that answer.

Aidan again asked, "Then... Did you bring it upstairs?" Aidan asked. Indeed it was a very impossible thing, that's also what caused Aidan to keep asking how Lucas was able to move to the top floor. Because for Aidan, there was no way Elizabeth could move the man upstairs alone.

Elizabeth laughed at the question asked by Aidan which made Aidan frown.

"No Aidan, I don't have the strength to lift Lucas upstairs." Elizabeth's words were also approved by Aidan, but what still confused Aidan was how Lucas could move to the second floor if Lucas didn't wake up and Elizabeth didn't move him.

Full of curiosity, that's Aidan... He asked Elizabeth again for the umpteenth time. "Then, how did he manage to move up?"

Elizabeth patiently answered Aidan's question, "I asked my friend to move it to the second floor." Elizabeth's answer also made Aidan nod his head repeatedly, even though he was curious and had time to frown because he was curious about Elizabeth's friend. but he had no right to ask who Elizabeth's friend was.

Aidan's gaze now turned to Lizbeth who was busy stirring the dough in the bowl she was holding. Which of course made Aidan unable to stand still watching the woman work alone. So he offered himself to at least help the busy Lizbeth.

"Um… Is there anything I can help you with? Looks like you need some help here!" Aidan said to Lizbeth, offering himself. Elizabeth who heard it turned to the left to look at Aidan who then smiled and nodded his head slowly.

Lizbeth looked around to see what Aidan could do to help her. When he saw there were fruits in the basket, he found the job for Aidan. "Ah, you can wash fruits, right? Wash the fruits in the basket, because I will make a Fruit Cake using them." Lizbeth said to Aidan who then nodded and happily did it. Aidan immediately rolled up the sleeves he was wearing and walked to the sink to wash the fruits in the basket, which Lizbeth pointed at earlier. While Lizbeth smiled at him.

"So you're good at cooking. Lizbet?" Aidan asked Lizbeth who immediately smiled and replied,

"Never doubt me, I'm good at it, Aidan!" Elizabeth answered which made Aidan chuckle softly.

"Hahaha… Okay, I'm sorry for doubting you." Aidan said as he returned to help Lizbeth by washing the fruits in the basket.

Shhh…. 

Lucas walked on a fairly wide field, he saw the grass he was stepping on at that time was silver, dominating the very wide field. The wind was blowing so calmly that it hit Lucas' body, Lucas's gaze was now on the sky above which now showed thousands of stars and the sky was dark at that time, but there was one thing that he could see. It was a moon that felt very, very close to where he was standing at that time, of course, it made Lucas frown to realize how close the moon is to the earth right now.

"Lucas, have you met him?" A question that was asked by a woman who was beside Lucas at that time, made Lucas turn his head and look at a woman who was not visible. Who was currently standing right next to him, the woman made Lucas try to keep looking at her face with a probing gaze to be able to see how her face was at that time.

"What are you doing? Go and meet that little boy!" A voice that sounded loud managed to make Lucas surprised. Because the sound was so loud it felt like it hit Lucas' ears. Which made Lucas finally wake up from his deep sleep in surprise.

"Oh!!" Lucas screamed as he got up from his sleeping position on the bed where he had fallen asleep at that time. "Hhh… hhh… hhh…" Lucas paused for a moment to catch his breath and then paused to think back to the dream he had just had. Because he felt that the dream he had just now felt very real as if Lucas had experienced it before.

"When did I experience it?" Lucas muttered, asking himself about the dream or experience. And when he heard the sound of objects falling around him, Lucas woke up from his thoughts and was confused when he realized that he was now in a very strange place. He was in a room that he did not know who the owner of the room was. Which of course made Lucas glance to the right and left to analyze the current situation.

Lucas's gaze was now fixed on the IV tube attached to his right arm. Which made him frown because he had never been in an IV like that before.

"Why is Aidan even giving me IV fluids? Shouldn't he be able to use the…-

Aidan's words were cut off when he realized that if he was on an IV, it meant Aidan couldn't heal or Aidan disappeared. Which of course was the thought that made Lucas feel anxious. Lucas quickly removed the infusion tube and immediately got off the bed he was currently sitting on.

Quickly, Aidan got off his bed and walked out of the room. But he opened the closed door of the room slowly because he was afraid that someone waiting outside the room would turn out to be someone evil. Lucas squinted his eyes, trying to find out where he was and suspicious of everything in the house.

Lucas is now looking at the rooms one by one on the second floor at that time, because of the many rooms there finally made Lucas decide to check the rooms one by one and look for Aidan's whereabouts.

One step ... Two steps ... Lucas walked on the rug that covered the entire floor on the second floor, which of course made Lucas think that this house was not inhabited by just anyone. Lucas is currently standing right in front of the black door beside his room, and just as he was about to open the door, a voice that came from the first floor at that moment made Lucas immediately turn his gaze towards the stairs, because he heard the sound of Aidan's laughter as he walked away. this.

"Aidan?" Lucas asked himself, and out of curiosity, finally made Lucas give up on opening the black door and prefer to walk down the stairs to meet Aidan. The one he believed was on the first floor of the house.

…

Just like the second floor, the stairs in the house were covered by a red rug which made Lucas frown and walks slowly down the stairs to look for Aidan's whereabouts. Lucas then turned his gaze to the right and left, trying to find Aidan on the first floor.

"Wow, this is delicious… You're so great!" Aidan's voice that sounded in Lucas' ears also made Lucas immediately turn his head and glance at one of the rooms on his right, he finally walked slowly to approach the room. When he got there, he found Aidan chatting cheerfully together with a beautiful woman who at that time was smiling at Aidan.

"Aidan." Lucas' call at that time, made both of them now turn their eyes to look at Lucas who was standing in the kitchen doorway at that time, which of course surprised Aidan who was now happily walking towards him saying,

"Are you okay Lucas?" Aidan asked Lucas who was now nodding his head in response to the steam, but Lucas's gaze was now on the woman who was staring and smiling at him, which made Lucas finally ask,

"Who is he and where are we now?" Lucas asked Aidan who now turned his gaze to Elizabeth and then said,

"She's Elizabeth, she helped me save you, and we're at her house right now." Aidan answered innocently, which of course made Lucas frown upon hearing that, he couldn't believe that Aidan would just accept help from someone they didn't know. Which of course could put them in the same danger as when he saved the woman who had set him up.
