There are times that we wish our dreams were our reality, and there are also times where we wish reality was just a dream. "Then what would you do if the reality you believe was just a dream?" I asked peering away from my book to look at my Alissa.
"Then I'll do anything to make that dream come true in reality too."My beloved's voice echoed in my ears. Her low but soft voice sounded in full assurance and confidence. "How would you do that? What if your dream was about unicorns? Would you still be able make that a reality?" I asked jokingly. "Well, If you put it that way, of course it's impossible." she replied laughing. "What are you even reading?"I showed her the book and she read it out loud. " 'That dream where I met you'? " "Yeah it's a great story. You should read this next when I finished it." I told her. She then sat down beside me and handed me a cup of coffee. "Then let me borrow it after you finished it."she said after taking a sip from her cup. She then focused herself in her laptop to continue her work. I can't help but stare at her. A beautiful young lady pale with short black hair, lashes so lush and long. Despite being a girl herself, her sharp jaws gave her a slight masculine appearance. She looked back at me and gave me a smile. Her thin pink lips curved upwards and her eyes drew to a crescent. Her black eyes staring at me asking what's wrong. I shook my head lightly answering nothing, then returned back to reading. She also returned back to what she's doing with a slight helpless smile. After quite some time, while reading I can't help but also think, what if this is also a dream. The current life I'm living right now was just all happening while I'm asleep. What if Alissa, my beloved, was just also a beautiful dream that I have? Will everything disappear once I wake up? Timingly, as I returned my focus on the book I'm reading, I happen to be at the final page of the book. A tear slowly dropped from my eyes after reading the last passage of the paragraph. 'She is just but a beautiful dream I had and would just remain as a beautiful dream. Never to touch reality but would remain in my heart for eternity. ' It read. It's heart-wrenching thinking that the ending had ended tragically like that. My nose can't help but to turn sour and tears rolled down my cheeks. Alissa looked and peered at me in panic asking what is wrong. I wiped the tears from my eyes and shook my head lightly, "Their story is so tragic." I commented. "What if we're in a dream too"? I said my thoughts out loud. Alissa cupped my face in her hands and looked at me lovingly. "I told you if we were in a dream, then if someday we woke up, I'll do everything just to make this dream come true in reality too. And My Love, it's just a story it won't come true. " Gently, she replied. I calmed myself down and believed her. "Then you must find me in reality too, okay?" laughing lightly at my childishness she nodded her head like coaxing a child.

"Mia, wake up. My legs are numb."
I awoke from that dream again. I sat and apologized laughingly to my classmate Mari whom I made a pillow with. After a while i started to take out my tablet and draw to stay me out that dream again which i can just barely remember when
It's about 1:26 in the afternoon, drawing was the only thing that i could think of while waiting for the time to pass. Sitting in a bamboo chair, my bag open and my shoes on the floor, I continued listening to my classmate Jenna talk about her husband, while sitting behind me on a table with my other classmates. I looked up and looked above to my right just to see the high wall that looked a little bit orangey as it was shined by the orange sun. Then it suddenly falshed my mind. A moment frozen in time. The same figure that kept appearing in my mind. A beautiful person, smiling gently and muttering to herself something I can't figure out what.
The soft tranquil breeze brushed me awake from my stupor. Erasing my thoughts away from that same image that kept appearing in my mind. I looked at the time and it was already 1:32 in the afternoon. 6 minutes had already pass. I decided to continue my drawing while I wait for the time to pass and go back to our class.
Then suddenly, my classmate sitting beside me, Rose complain, "Ughh, I want to go home already." as she laid down at the balcony our classmates boarding house.
I just silight smiled at her, thinking the same.
