Chapter # 1: A Dream So Real (1)

<p>" I still remember the day<br/>When I first met you in May<br/>I was mesmerized and lost for what to say<br/>'Cause your smile took my breath away<br/>Now just eagerly waiting for your 18th birthday<br/>So that I can see you walking to the aisle,<br/>On our wedding day"<br/><br/> He said while leaning against a tree in a garden full of blossom trees, with some of their petals fully blossomed and some half opened. Spring breeze blew, the beautiful and delicate petals gently fall down like snowflakes, fluttering across his face.<br/><br/> In the middle of the crowded and densely layered garden, His face was blurred but his ravishing beauty was unparalleled. His eyes and lips were the only features that could be seen clearly. <br/><br/> Those brown orbs were dark and soulful. Youth was evident in his untamed pupils, something subtle but beautiful in every form.<br/>A soft smile was continuesly playing on his lips, resembling the warmth of the sun. Such a breathtaking view!!!<br/>It was impossible to not look back at him again without a smile.<br/><br/>"What?"<br/>His thoughts were distracted by a sudden voice. He raised his right eyebrow, but still, not looking back. He heard her again,<br/>"In YOUR 18th birthday, YOU... are proposing me?" <br/>There was syness along with excitement in that surprised voice. <br/>The smile, previously on his lips, was broaden.<br/>"What?... Am I not too obvious?"<br/>He wasn't backing down this time.... either. <br/>She chuckled on his response. <br/>"Are you kidding?"<br/>Turning back, he gazed at her and with a serious face and firm tone he said,<br/>"I'm not kidding... I'm serious Sofia."<br/><br/>As the word 'Sofia' escaped from his lips, everything stopped and turned blank. With that a girl jerked awake and sat up on her bad. She stared blankly ahead of her, without blinking her long eyelashes. There was a sense of dizziness and confusion in her almond brown eyes, as she had been pulled up into the reality from the Dream Land.<br/><br/>Her small mouth was agape. Her scarlet lips were like rosebuds peeping out in winter, soft and tender. She had sraight eyebrows, fair skin, making her defined features more attractive. Half of her face was curtained by her naturally straight, waist length, dark brown hair.<br/>She was like a painting, when moonlight formed her shadow in the wide room. For quite some time, she didn't react but then she pulled her hair and almost screamed with an annoyed tone, <br/>"AHHH!!!... Sofia?... Literally SOFIA?... Of all the names in the world,... he had to call MY name?" Her lips formed a cute pout.<br/>"Shia!... I have to call Shia."<br/>She picked up her phone from the bed side table and dialled a number. As the call connected, the person on the the receiving side groaned.<br/>"SOFIA!!!!... Did I Ever... ever, do anything wrong to you? EVER?!!"<br/>Sofia was taken aback from the sudden outburst.<br/>"N-no."<br/>"Then why the hell did you call me at THIS hour?"<br/>She quickly took a look at the clock, only realizing that it was 5 am. <br/>Yes, quite early for Shia. <br/>Although she was guilty but she was not going to show it. <br/>"What kind of a friend are you? You can't even listen to my problems?... Here, I can't sleep because of my dreams and there! There you are sleeping soundly like a log!"<br/>When Shia heard her complains, she rolled her eyes but quickly asked,<br/>"Dream! Again? I'm telling you Sofia, don't take it for granted. Go to a psychiatrist."<br/>"You think I didn't? I had visited the doctor last month with mom and you were also there, remember?"<br/>"Yah,yah... and she said ' You are perfectly fine'. Now tell me quickly, what did you dream this time so that I can listen and then sleep peacefully. "<br/></p>
