My Wife Is A Seer

Helena was trapped in a dream world and could not wake up.

She didn’t know where she was; there were no trees, no people, no buildings …… around her, only a white that blocked her vision and a jumble of manic sounds. She couldn’t hear the manic sounds, couldn’t find the source of the manic sounds. The only thing she could see was her own feet.

She followed the direction of her toes and kept going, always with a path to follow and a feeling of never ending.

“Is there anyone here?”

“What is this place?”

“Hey! Is there anyone here? Come out!”

“Wendy, are you here? Jasper, are you here? You guys come out, I’ll treat you to a barbecue.”

……

No one responded to her, just a constant stream of garbled voices.

She pricked up her ears and listened closely to the sounds, which sounded a bit like birds chirping, a bit like talking, a bit like arguing, and a bit like a vegetable market …… buzzing, humming, jumbled and distorted, she switched angles to find the source of the sounds and found that they were coming from all directions.

She was so tired.

Closing her eyes to rest, she heard many more voices in a daze, all kinds of voices, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

“Baby, it’s mommy.”

“Mummy and Daddy are always there, don’t be afraid, you’re not alone.”

“You can go home to grandpa when you are tired, you have a home, you don’t have to be a parasite.”

……

Helena couldn’t hear clearly and opened her eyes to look for the sound and found an extra pair of black boots on her feet, a bit like military boots.

“Remember who you are, you are a flying eagle, you are a cheetah, you can soar the skies and you can run the grasslands.”

“Now just wait until you get the hang of it.”

“We’re all waiting for you to get the hang of it, so get the hang of it.”

……

This time it was loud, deafening and clear to hear, but what did that mean?

“Run.”

“You run to the northwest, I’ll draw them off.”

“Remember, run forward and don’t look back. No matter what happens behind you, don’t turn back.”

“If you make it back alive, will you love me for once?”

……

Her heart hurt like being cut by a knife, there was a sense of absolute sadness, and her ears were bristling with the sound of wind, rain and leaves rushing past her ears. There was pain in her face and she fell to the ground, her body bound with ropes so that she could not move.

The surroundings were still white.

She couldn’t see anything, but she could feel obvious pain: someone was kicking her, someone was trying to whip her.

A cloud of white fell from above and pressed down on her, shielding her from all the pain. She was no longer in pain, but there was bright red blood falling through the white, drop by drop, onto her body: so red, so white, it was shocking to the eye.

She struggled hard, “No, no, no!”

Jasper slapped her face anxiously, “Helena, wake up, wake up …… Helena, you’re dreaming, open your eyes and you will wake up …… Helena, open your eyes, open your eyes ……”

Most of the night, when it was quiet, she suddenly became agitated, her limbs twitching.

He thought she was twitching, but Matthew said she was dreaming.

Her body was tense, her forehead sweaty, her eyes rolling beneath her lids. Jasper didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but was certain it was a nightmare, pinching her nose to keep her from breathing, “Wake up, wake up and you won’t be scared. Open your eyes, quick.”

Helena had difficulty breathing.

A sense of suffocating death wrapped around her.

She was desperate, more and more blood was falling, her heart was aching, tears were flowing freely: “No! Don’t!”

Jasper had his hands full, letting go of her nose and pulling out a tissue to wipe her tears: “What are you dreaming about? How many people are bullying you? I beg you all to let her go, come at me, come at me. Helena, wake up, wake up!”

In and out of the dream, Jasper’s voice overlapped.

“The scandal at the party was not my intention. You say I’ve been bad to you, but I’ve always been single-minded.”

“You may not love me, but you can’t stop me from loving you.”

“When you loved him and tried everything to make him happy, I wondered: when will you treat me like that.”

“If there is an afterlife, will you find me sooner?”

“In this life I will protect you, in the next life, you will save me, okay?”

“My love, goodbye. I wish there was an afterlife, and I wish I could meet you again.”

The voice stopped, the weight pressed on the body abruptly disappeared, Helena heart hurt like a knife cutting: “Do not …… do not go …… I do not want you to go … … come back, come back …… … you come back, come back ……” her eyes tearful, hands in mid-air scratching haphazardly: come back!

Jasper was so anxious, he patted her and hit her and shook her hard: “Helena, wake up, it’s not real, it’s all a dream, it’s all fake. Helena, don’t cry, wake up, wake up and you’ll be fine.”

Helena was shaken awake by him.

Her eyes were open but she could not tell if that was reality or a dream.

However, her emotions were still stuck in her dream, she jumped over and hugged him tightly, crying her heart out, “I’m sorry, I was wrong, I want you …… you don’t go, don’t go, OK …… you stay with me, I don’t want you to go ……”

“Okay, okay, I’m not going. I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying with you.” Jasper was sweating profusely and took a few more breaths, she was awake. He hugged her, patted her back and soothed her in a soft voice: “Don’t be afraid! It’s all a dream! It’s all fake! You’ll be fine! If you’re still scared, I’ll take you out and we’ll go see the stars and the moon, okay?”

Matthew: “……” Seeing the stars? Seeing the moon? Could it be any more romantic?

Helena cried so hard she couldn’t breathe, and her heart was filled with unspeakable pathos and regret. She didn’t know who he was, she didn’t know what their past was, but she just couldn’t bear it. She couldn’t stop crying, and her sobs stopped again.

“Matthew, come and see her.”

“Crap! Fainting again? What kind of dream did she have that could have excited her like that?”

Jasper didn’t know what she had dreamed and was still afraid she would continue to dream. He didn’t dare close his eyes and continued to watch over her. Matthew couldn’t hold on any longer and he went home to rest: “Call me if there’s a situation. There should be nothing going on. It will be okay when she wakes up!”

Jasper waited for her to wake up from her nap.

At 8am, the golden sun shone through the glass into the bedroom.

Helena woke up leisurely from her deep sleep, she caught a glimpse of Jasper and couldn’t believe her eyes: “How did you get yourself into such a state? Are you going to shoot a movie? To film the primitive forest people?”

No suits!

His hair was dishevelled and tangled and his beard was dense. His face was thinner and the sockets of the eyes sank. The dark circles under his eyes were heavy, as if he had heavy make-up on. The inside of the eyes were bloodshot and red, like the eyes of a rabbit.

How tragic! How pathetic!

Helena was about to get up, but he reached out and held her down again: “What dream did you have last night? Why did you cry so much? Who did you dream about in your dream? Who were you afraid would leave you?” The situation was urgent and he didn’t think much about it. Later he thought carefully about it, the person she wanted to keep could be Elias.
