Chapter 16 - Dreamer’s Truth
I could never understand the reason behind my awful nightmares. I had a pretty weird imagination too which made it all the worse. The smallest of worries hovering in the back of my mind would materialize in some form or another and have me screaming myself awake.
This time, I found myself standing in a meadow before a round table. Upon it stood a basket of the reddest, juiciest looking strawberries I had ever seen. I found myself gorging them down hysterically, even when I felt like puking from overeating. The air was becoming thick and foggy, and it made me feel choke. My eyes then fell upon a car parked at a distance from where I stood and to my horror; I realized that the vehicle was on fire. I saw a hand waving at me from the back window (which had fumes flowing out of it) and clutched in its soot covered fingers was a badge.
It was in the middle of the night when I got that call. I wasn’t angry at the disturbance, yet rather glad as it had awoken me from the bizarre dream. I found myself shivering of the cold, my body drenched in sweat. With shaky hands I reached for the bottle of water on the side of my bed and turned the lamp on.
I hated waking up in a dark room right after a nightmare.
The phone started ringing again and squinting at the screen I was extremely surprised to know that it was Keito. After all, it wasn’t in his nature to give me a call at 3 o’clock in the morning, so naturally, I was extremely anxious as I answered his call.
“Keito-chan? Is everything alright?”
“Yu…Yuto…,”
Yuto’s eyes widened at the tremble in his friend’s voice and the way he was choking on his sobs.
“Keito, what’s wrong?” he said, alert.
“My father and brother…they…,”
Yuto felt his heart clench as Keito burst into hysterical sobs on the other end of the line. He could feel his own eyes sting.
No, it can’t be.
“Keito, calm down… where are you?”
“A..at ho..home,”
“I’ll be right over, just try to remain calm okay?”
“Yu..Yuto…thank you,”
Ending the call, Yuto immediately dialed Hikaru’s number.
There was complete silence in the Okamoto living room. The clock showed four, yet the apartment was lit up completely, five boys seated at
a distance yet close enough.
Keito nodded as Inoo took the half-drunk glass of water from his hand. Hikaru stood up from his seat and walked up to Yuto who sat next to his distraught best friend.
“Now, tell us what happened?”
Keito gulped and took a deep breath.
“After we came back from our practice, I made myself dinner and retired early. It was around midnight when I got a call from my dad’s assistant,”
“And?” Hikaru coaxed, kneeling before the boy.
“He said that they never appeared for the train heading to Narita International Airport, and they missed their flight. Tracing the car, they found it…,”
“Keito?” Inoo asked anxiously as the younger man’s hands started shaking violently.
“They found the car in a ravine, on the way to the train station,”
“And…Okamoto-san? Keisuke-kun?”
Keito cast a teary glance in Yuto’s direction. Yuto’s heart sank.
“The car’s been mutilated and burnt completely; they started the search for any…any trace of their bod…,”
Yuto lunged towards him as Keito collapsed into uncontrollable sobs and pulled the older boy close.
Takaki looked away from the scene as Inoo wiped his own tears before giving Hikaru a helpless look.
“Why? Why did this happen, it’s not fair!” Keito chocked, tightening his grip around Yuto, who bit his lip, failing to hold back his own tears.
Keisuke
Images from his dream flashed before his eyes.
Why did I see something like that?
The next ten minutes, which seemed more like an eternity was spent in silence broken only by Keito’s sobs and Inoo’s sniffs.
Yuto stood up immediately, a surge of dizziness making his guts clench. Keito looked up at him confused. Just then, the phone rang.
Keito lunged for the receiver.
“Hello?”
Yuto dropped his body back onto the couch, holding himself close and keeping his eyes shut. He couldn’t see Hikaru’s concern at his behavior but his eyes snapped open as he heard the words tumble out of Keito’s mouth and the tone of his voice.
“Who…who the hell are you?”
