A Dream Come True

      "David! David! Wake up. It's late for your class!" I heard my mom calling. Oh my goodness, what a luck! It was just a dream. How much i wanted it to be real. With great disappointment and the stunning image of her lips and eyes, I started my day. But, far in my heart something told me i knew her and the eyes were familiar. Keeping my thoughts away I tried to pass the day. But fortunately, I couldn't stop thinking of her. I was eagerly waiting for the day to meet my angel. Time was moving like a tortoise. I wanted to go back home and live in her thoughts. 

       I kept asking if that was only a dream or were there any chances of it to be true? Everyday I started day-dreaming about her. I was eager to see her face. I felt something missing in my life. I started playing more tunes in my guitar. I loved my guitar so much but, only until the day I met her. Yes, finally my day came.

       It was a rainy evening. I was on my way back home from my guitar classes. The rain was heavy, so I took shelter in the nearby ATM. Just then I felt someone slip and I caught by the waist. Our eyes met. The same eyes! The eyes that twinkled like a star! My gaze shifted to her lips. To my amazement, it was the same shining rosy lips from my dream. I never thought I will see her soon. I was on top of my world. In that happiness I didn't notice how long I was holding her and I had not seen her face. 

      That moment I felt a tap on my shoulder and a familiar voice saying , "What happened to you? How long are you going to hold me? Are your arms made of steel?"  and she started laughing.  I was taken aback when I saw the girl in my dream was none other than my best friend. I was in a state of shock and confusion. It was her voice again that broke me from my thoughts.

     "Why are you like this?" 

     "Oh! it's nothing. Was just thinking...."

     "Of?"

     "Of how you landed here."

     "In your arms?"  (She said it with a wink)

  I was standing there without knowing what to say.

      "I see you have a large umbrella, do you mind walking me home?"

   Though the walk was short, it seemed as a thousand miles to me. Her closeness never seemed so disturbing like today. On reaching my home, she planted a goodnight's kiss on my cheeks and walked away with her umbrella. I had the urge to pull her in my arms and kiss her. Resisting it, I went inside, had a shower and retired to bed. The more and more I tried forgetting her, the more and more her thoughts haunted me. 

    All our days together in school and in college were the most memorable ones. She was so close to me. She understood me well. She was the one who was with me through happiness and sadness. But I never thought of her as my other half (until now). Since that dream, I have been living with her in my heart. Well, when I came to know the girl was her, I don't know if what I was doing was right or not. But when I think of her, my love for her deepens. She will make a perfect partner. Thinking of all I dozed off.

      I had the same dream again, but this time I saw her. She looked angelic in her white dress with red floral pattern. I woke up from the dream and when I checked my mobile I had received a message from her before 2 minutes. "Are you awake?"  I sent a reply "yes, because of you!".

           "Me? Why? What did I do?"

           "Oh, nothing. I was just kidding."

           "So, what are you going to present for your sweetheart?"

           "?????......"

           "Don't say me you forgot again. It's my birthday in 2 days!"

           "I know. It's a surprise. Now go to sleep. Bye"  

           "Lazybones! Just wait till I...."

           "You?"

           "Nothing. Good night. Sweet dreamz."

      Her text messages made me confused. I started wondering why she had texted me in the middle of the night and what did she want to say me? I decided to  forget this, but the thought of her birthday kept me awake. I didn't have any plans. But she had asked for a present. After a long time I decided what to do, and slept off.

       The next day fully I searched all the shops in my place and bought the present I loved. I was eagerly waiting for the day to pass and went to bed. She sent a text                 "Will you grant my wish on my birthday?"

            "Sure dear, I will."

            "Tomorrow sharp 12 a.m come to the park near my home with your guitar"

            "Sure. But why?"

            "See you tomorrow. Bye." 

       I was waiting in the park for her as she told. I was tensed and at the same time happy for some reason. There she was, looking angelic in her white dress with red floral pattern like my dreams. She sat near me in the bench and asked me to play a song for her. I started playing a song that i had composed after the dream. There was cool breeze and the flowers around us were dancing and the moon was shining bright. She looked so beautiful and dashing. Her silky hair was dancing to the tunes of my guitar, her eyes twinkling and lips shining. All were like in my dream. 

       All of sudden it was silent. The surroundings looked romantic with the cool breeze. Our eyes met and never left each other's. And in moments our lips were together. After realizing what had happened I moved away. But she didn't seem to hate it. she was smiling and it seemed as if she loved it and she felt the same i felt for her. 

      I did not want the moment to be ruined. So, I took the ring out of my pocket, went on my knees and said the words I was longing to say, "Will you marry me?"

      Without any hesitation she accepted the ring and with a bright smile in her face said, "I love you"

AND A DREAM HAS COME TRUE.............
