It's been 10 years since she met her doctor last week. Sera Minsky is one of those who have sleep disorder case that's called Hipersomnia. She sleeps approximately 20 hours a day, it's started when she was 7 years old. She lived with her father in Capetown for a year, her father is a doctor and her mother was a nurse. Ironically, she got Malaria and almost die. She lied on the bed for a month and got a serious brain damage caused by enterobacter. Her father brought her back to Spain, meanwhile he divorced his wife and left her on her own. Sera lived with her grandparents for years because her father had to work abroad. She lived in a harmonius family, she has recovered from her Malaria and became a smart student at her school. Sera does not know why did her father left her mother in Capetwon. The only explaination that she heard from her father is because her mother did not want to stay with them anymore. That fact is surely hurting her, she tries so hard to endure that's because she does not feel love from her mother anymore.

She's 17 years old now, and still lives with her grandma. She never hears anything from her father again. She is struggling with a condition where she has to be the backbone for her gradma since her grandpa died last year. One day she felt something bad in her head, she knew it was not an ordinary headache but she did not tell her grandparents about that. She had to work as a waitress at a conventional store and study hard to get a scholoarship from college.

"Sera!!" a woman calls her name, she wears a black gown. She sits next to her and put her arms around her shoulders. "You look so pretty, I miss you so much" that woman said. Sera can not recognize her face, she thinks that woman is just a stranger even she does not know where she is now. "Hi, how do you know my name?" she asked her. That woman does not answer her question, she stands up from the chair and walks away. Sera sits and thinks, what's happening here, why doesn't she answer her question. Sera runs to her and grabs her wrist, "You know that we haven't met before, then how do you know my name?" she's yelling at her. That woman smiles and kisses her cheek, "I am nobody, but I have something for you" she said. "What is that?" Sera said. "Here, it belongs to you Sera!" that woman got a Turqoise ring out of her tiny purse. "You have to keep it with you, it's from your mother" she smiled. Sera sits and thinks for hours, she doesn't know about that ring at all. "But I never have it in my life" Sera said with a trembling voice. That woman smiles and walks away into a white fog. "Wait! I don't want to wear it! Come Back! hey Lady!!" Sera yelled at her.

"God, Sera are you okay?" her grandma kissed her cheek. Sera opens her eyes and sees there are so many people in her room. "What's going on here?" she asked her grandma. "You slept for hours Sera! I thought you would never wake up again! I called all neighbors here because I was worried" her grandma said. Sera gets up from her bed and says "Yes I am fine, now you can go home, please". She drinks a water and gives a hug for her grandma. "Are you okay Sera?" her grandma asked her, "Yes I am, don't worry about me" she smiles at her. Sera knows that dream is weird, she does not tell her grandma about it, she does not want to make her grandma feel bad. She has to find out another explaination about her dream, she does not know for how long she will sleep. She doesn't feel alright although she tries to feel okay. "I can't go there with you" said someone on the phone, "Can we meet again?" Sera asked her, "I am not sure Sera!" that woman said. "But Doc, I need to talk about it with you" Sera said, "Okay then meet me tomorrow!" She hung up the phone.

Sera wakes up and finds out herself in a place with so many white roses on the floor, "Hello!! Hello!!" she shouts. She sees her finger and that turqoise ring is there, she realizes that she did not see it when she woke up next to her grandma last night. She is wandering at that mysterious place. There is nobody in that place until suddenly someone calls her name again "Sera, are you here?". Sera turns her body around and she finds that woman that she met last night. "You? what are you doing here?" she asks her, that woman smiles at her and asks her to have a walk with her. "Wait, I wont go anywhere with you!" Sera yells. "Sera you're fine. Don't worry about me, I am not going to hurt you" she said. "Could you please tell me about this ring?" Sera asked her, she smiles and then says "It's a pretty turqoise ring Sera!". "And who are you?" Sera asked her, she takes a deep breath and says "I am Turqoise, nice to meet you Sera!". Sera gets confused and says "I don't understand about it. I don't know you! How do you know my name?". That woman smiles and says " Because you don't remember, your mother gave me this ring years ago". Sera doesn't know anything about her mother, her father told her to stop asking about her. "But my father never says anything about her. Frankly I don't know much about my mother" she said. That woman smiles and says "It's okay Sera, now everything is fine, I meet you here and I know that your mother will be happy for us". Sera doesn't know what is she talking about, she never cares about her mother and she doesn't want to know about her. "Stop it! whoever you are! you don't know about my life!" she said. That woman asks her to close her eyes and holds her hands, suddenly Sera feels so peace inside. "Mom?" she can't believe that she sees her mother again. "Sera! I miss you!". Sera feels so happy and kisses her mother's cheek, "I miss you more Mom!" she cried in her shoulder.

"I meet her in my dream" Sera told her doctor. "You know that you have Hipersomnia, Sera?" Dr. Mills said. "Yes I know! but it's crazy that I could meet with my mom in my dream" she explained. Dr. Mills sits on his chair and asks Sera to tell her about her dreams. "I never remember my dreams until I have these dreams Doc!" she began her story. "I have told you about my past and you know that I never know my parents really well" she spoke with a sad voice. "It's okay Sera, calm yourself down" said Dr. Mills. Sera lies her body on the lounge in Dr. Mills room, and continue her story " I miss my mother but I never know about that ring" she said. Dr. Mills is surprised by her statement "For a hipersomnia patient it's normal to dream about something weird, but what ring that you're talking about here?" he asked her. "It was a Turqoise ring Doc!" she explained. Dr. Mills stands up from his chair and speaks " So what's weird about it Sera?". Sera clears her throat and says " I met a woman named Turqoise in my dream, and I never know who she is". Dr. Mills drinks his coffee and says "Turqoise? It's interesting now". "But that ring..I gave it back to Abena two months ago, because I did not want my son notices it, Turqoise got an accident because she was upset with me, she told me that Abena is a great woman and she regrets it that I left her on her own and marriy to her" Alan said sadly. "Your daughter needs that ring I guess. Alan she has hipersomnia caused by that malaria virus, and you seperated her with her mom, and now she figures out things through her dreams, this is amazing but I want you to meet her because she is your daughter" Dr Mills said.

"Hello, how are you?" said Dr. Mills to somebody on the phone. "Mills? Oh my god, it's been a while!" said a man on the phone. "I need to meet you face to face Alan!" said Dr. Mills. "Alright meet me at my office tomorrow after lunch, Ok?" he said, "Okay, Bye!" Dr. Mills hung up the phone.

Sera cleans the tables and mops the floors, she still thinks about her dreams, is it just her imagination or it's really a weird dream that she has to figure out. She knows that next month a reception announcement from college will be sent to her house. She worries about her scholarships, she doesn't have much money to go there without it. Everybody knows that Sera is a smart girl but she is not as smart as she used to be, she lost her cheerfulness right after her parents left her years ago. She doesn't want to blame her grandparents for all the things that she has now. Although she feels so sad deep within and fights for her life day by day. Her grandma is 85 years old now, she is so old and sickly. She has to feed her with her money and works really hard for living.

"Hey Sera, clean this room now!" said Chad. Chad is her manager at the conventional store, Sera knows that Chad always gives her a hard time. Her best friend Chloe said that actually Chad likes her. Sera doesn't think about love anymore since her parents left her. She only knows there is no immortality in this world not even an everlasting love or romance. She grows up with her grandparents and lives her life as normal as it possible. "Yeah I'm coming in a sec" she said. "Hey, don't you know that I need you to clean that room now?!" Chad spoke with an annoying tone. Sera stares at his face, she knows that actually Chad is not an annoying guy, Chad is only 3 years older than her, and he has everything that he needs in his life. Chad has a rich family and his father has a hospital in Hawaii. He moves here because he wants to be a success man, even though he can get money easily. Sera likes his effort and strong principle to reach his goals, but she doesn't like him because he is a bit cocky when he asks her to do things. "Why can't you just talk to me nicely Chad?" Sera said. Chad stares at her face, he scrutinizes Sera with his mysterious gaze and then says "Because I want to do it right away". Her heart is
