Ghost (dreamt of you)

حدقتما في بعضكما البعض باهتمام وتوتر لعدة ثوانٍ طويلة، حتى كسر الصمت صوت أنثوي هادئ. — تبدو متعبًا. ربما كان لديك حلم سيئ. — فظيع؟ رمش الرجل عدة مرات، وفتح شفتيه الرطبتين وأجاب أخيرًا بصوت صرير: — حلمت بك. بدا أن الوقت توقف، وتجمدت مشاعره وعواطفه، لم يكن هناك ندم، ولا حزن، ولا غضب - فقط ألم مزعج في قلبه، وكأن حجرًا قد وضع على صدره.

The girl turned her head and regarded the man's peaceful face a little too openly and inquisitively, and he, in turn, met her concerned gaze with his slightly tired, too sharp eyes with a hint of sternness. Something is wrong.

You stared at each other intently and tensely for several long seconds, until the silence was broken by a quiet female voice.
— You look tired. Maybe you had a bad dream.
— Horrible? — Blinking several times, the man parted his clammy lips and finally replied in a squeak:
— I dreamt of you.
Time seemed to stop, his feelings and emotions frozen, there was no regret, no sadness, no anger-just a nagging pain in his heart, as if a stone had been placed on his chest.
