I don't know how it all started, well actually I don't really know how to start. The dream took place 10 years in the future and the setting took place in a city near the ocean/beach/sea. At that time I was on a business trip, I checked in into a hotel and decided to go sight-seeing around the city. And I went to the mall. As I was walking around the mall, I saw this beautiful lady busy shopping for clothes. I don't know why, but she looks so familiar, I think I've met her somewhere before, and the question is where and when? So I've made up my mind and try to follow her. She was then followed by a young boy, a little girl holding her long skirt and a baby in her arms. I guess those 3 children are her kids. And suddenly it hits me! It's Annie, that girl is Annie! She's Annie! So I went to her and I said, "Annie? Is that you?" As I had guessed, she gave me the who-the-hell-are-you-face. She was still confused of who I am, and I said,"Hey! You don't remember me? It's me! Don't tell me you don't remember me." Then she gave me the I-think-I-know-this-person-from-somewhere-face. A second later, she said,"Danial? Is that you?" Oh thank God she remembers me. And that was how we met after all these years, 10 years to be exact.
It was a bright sunny day, and we went to a Bistro Cafe overlooking the beach, we sat there for a little chat, I mean come on, it has been more than 10 years since we last spoke to each other, I don't think a little chat would do. We sat there for hours talking about our life after high school. We tell stories to each other, laugh till our stomach hurts and stories that brought tears rolling down our cheeks. Memories. That's the word that came to mind. This reminds me of the past that I once had with her, all the joyful and heart-breaking moments. It really reminds me of the past. It really did. "Danial? Danial?? Danial!!" "Huh? What?" Don't tell me I was day dreaming in front of her. "Are you okay?" She said to me. "Owh no, it's nothing. I'm fine really, sorry about that." I replied her. "And where were we just now?" "Owh nothing." I know she wanted to say something but she held back, and great! Now there's an awkward silence between us. Oh damn! I almost forgot about her kids, so I asked her the question "So who's the father?"
She paused. She didn't say a word. She wanted to, but something is holding her back. I know something wasn't right here, so then I said " I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask such a question. My bad.." She replied "Its okay.." I can feel the pain in her voice. Did I say something wrong? Did something happen to her husband? Bahhh!! I'm thinking too much. She then said something to break the awkward silence, and now we're back telling stories to each other. Its getting late and I got an important meeting tomorrow morning. Offered her a ride back home and she accepts the offer without a second thought. We exchange phone numbers and that's that for today. She said that she wants to do this again tomorrow if possible. I would give her a call if I'm not doing anything. I also would really love to do this again. Went back to the hotel with a big smile on my face. Alright! Off to bed. But because I was too happy of today's incident, I can't sleep, I just can't fell asleep. My mind keeps on playing that wonderful moment I had with her this morning. Well that's just great...
