Beautiful Dream
I've always thought that I'm alone in this world, I do have my family but it feels incomplete. I have plenty of friends but still not enough. What is wrong with me?
Even in this dream I'm lonely all I can see are dark shadows swaying on my surrounding, I can see a bright light every now and then but I can't see anyone.
"Is there anybody here?" I called out.
No one respond, I know that this is just a dream but I don't seem to have a control over it. Fir days now I've been having this strange dream when I sleep like someone is trying to communicate with me through it. It's bee a month any every night is the same, I'm in a hollow world where there's only darkness, shadows and a little light. It's cold, I can feel my body shaking, is that even possible? This is supposedly a dream. I closed my eyes urging my body to wake up from this nightmare but it seems that my real body is paralyzed I shouted my name, I pinched myself, nothing.
I begin to panicked as the reality that I can't get out of this dream. With my frustration I yanked my hair so hard I even bit my lip. So weird that I can feel this pain. What is happening to me?
Suddenly the place was engulfed with light and the shadows are gone. I can now properly see the place, there's a mountain not so far from where I'm standing and there's a stream just beside me. I finally realized that the shadows are trees hanging over me. This is the first time in over a month that my dream come to this. I drank some water from the stream to quench my thirst. I can feel the coolness going through my body. I walked around the area looking for anything, my attention was grabbed by a great tree, it so big that the other thee is just bellow its body. In that tree there's a single fruit. I find this really interesting since all of the tree that I found in this place has an abundance of ripe fruits but this one only have one.
Maybe it's really greed that makes us human because I find myself climbing to get the apple. My eyes are focused on getting it that I lost my step and I fell.
I brushed off the dust in my pants and tried to climb the tree again. This time I came in arms length and reached for it. I stared at it for a moment, cannot resist the temptationI took a bite.
I feel like I'm choking with just a single bite. I can't breathe I tried to go to the stream to drink water but it's becoming farther and farther as I crawl. I lay on my back and accepted that this is how I'm going to die.
A bright and warm light made it's way towards me.
"You called for me?" she asked with the sweetest voice in the world.
She touched my hand and I stopped choking, with her presence thia place became lighter and bearable. She was wearing a pure white belt and boots, she's so beautiful. How did you end up hear? With all of my efforts to get a way from destiny sure know what she's doing. She walked towards the tree and a new fruit emerged from it. This time the fruit is kind of sad and somehow unappetizing. This was looking at it intently.
"You're so beautiful," Did I just said that out loud?
"This is just an appearance. Why did you call for me?" she asks.
"I didn't, I just ate that apple."
"I see, I can't say that its an accident. They tempted you"
"What should I do to wake up? It's been awhile and I don't even had an idea of what time it is." I blurted out.
"Don't you want to stay here with me?" she was smiling back at me but her eyes look sad.
"I want to but... it's just that..." I can't even compose myself. ..."I have school tomorrow.
"Okay, but stay here for awhile. I've been lonely and a little company will be deeply appreciated."
I was moved and I remembered how I felt when I'm all alone in this world. She will feel the same if I wake up. I smiled at her in agreement. I don't want her to feel alone. I don't even know her but I can feel a strange attachment.
And then,
"Would you like me to take you? To a place where miracles happen".
She asked and I closed my eyes, the light that surrounds her is blinding I can't even describe the color of it since it changes from blue to auburn and then rainbow. Such a beautiful creature,
"who are you?" I can't talk straight, I'm was overwhelmed by the sight before me. She smiles.
" Would you like to keep me?" She says, while her eyes glimmer.
This is not the eyes that I saw earlier. This is what happy looks like.
"Yes!" I can't believe how fast I actually answered, she smiles as she slowly fade away.
" Then, you'll have to marry me". Wait what?
I heard a loud voice as I flinched because of the pain in my ribs. My mom has this habit of throwing things at me whenever she wakes me up. I wanted to complain but I saw the time it's alread 8:37! s**t. s**t. s**t!
It's my first day of senior year and my class starts at 9. I quickly brushes my teeth, fixed my hair as my mom nags at me for being a sleepy head. I ate a toast and drink the glass of orange juice that my mom prepared. I walked to get my keys and it hit me. I remembered my dream about her. I don't even remember how she looks like, but I know that she's beautiful. Who are you?
