THE TALE OF A DREAM CITY

Info

a girl from a small town,

quite ambitious and one of them from the Big dreams crowd,

wanted to do something in her life, as life had not been soo good to her, till before that time.

she wanted to prove herself to the race of those who were chasing their dreams,

wanting to showoff to achieve what she actually wanted to be.

unaware of what fate has actually decided for her,

grabbed a chance to go to the dream city.......a city where everybody goes to live there dream up,

convincing her parents anyhow to send her along.....such a stupid girl she was.

super excitied after the permission was granted, all set to go with all her needs and clothes she wanted.

i guess by now she might have already reached to cloud nine, she had no idea of gods future plan for her, beside.

she joined a class to learn new things in demand, was quite hard for a small town girl to bare the crowd, of where she was,

trying to learn the trends and rules followed in the public ways, mostly sitting quite in the room, as the language they spoke was not known to her.

watching each expression and discussion going around her face, the dream city did not seemed that fascinating to her as she assumed.

she started feeling lonely being in the crowd, what to do nobody was there to share, around.

remembering the time she spent with her friends, might have brought some tears to her eyes now and then.

but what to say she was quite good at hiding them from others. Oh yes, she was an emotional fool in this new practical world.

all she was waiting for the learning to get over, and then to take off for the job dream allover.

while she was searching for her job, a total change in the behaviour was caused, by the people she was living with along.

they refused to keep her any longer and except them, there was hardly anyone known to her in person.

still, she gathered some courage of her own and found a room at a place, away from there home.

in the room, there already lived four girls and she was the fifth one youngest of all.

it took some time for her to adapt, as they all were not from the same habitat.

the life was getting bitter so was the food, the hope of it getting better, was not so soon.

the health was declined and the dreams were shattered.

came a day of total despair, when she was left alone food-less and water-less, that time hunger and thirst were her only friends.

she cried alot that day, asked her mom to take here away,

few days later her mom arrived, she broke down in-front of her, hugged her tightly and said "mummy i will never come back to this dream city again!!! ".
