Dream came true

The day has finally arrived. He has returned from abroad after many years of working hard in China, India and Japan. Will he be staying for good this time? Has he given up on us?

He had invited me to a mystery place for a surprise. Excited, I made my way to the place he had indicated on a handdrawn map. It is a building still under construction. The entire building is accessible; the walls and stairways are plain concrete; there were no handle bars along the stairways.

A young man in a black suit was waiting paitently at the entrance of the unfinished building. When his eyes met mine, he took a few brisk steps towards me and held me in his arms. I've missed his embrace, his warmth, his strength, his love. He took my hands and led me towards the basement. Slowly and carefully, I followed him down a stairway with no handle bars. If he had let go of my hands, I would not have been too afraid to take another step.

My dreams are mostly weird, here comes the strange part : The basement is a fully furnished and well renovated foodcourt. His hand tighten around mine, I could feel his excitement. I must have seem silly because I was grinning and I could not wipe that smile off my face. On one of the tables, was a feast of my favourite dishes he had prepared personally. His culinery skills had improved tremendously, I guess practice do make perfect.

He had attained his first goal in life : career. This tastefully done (pardon the pun) foodcourt is the fruit of his labour. The best food will be served here; the best memories will be created for patrons; the first of a chain of the new-technology foodcourt.

I would have attained my goal in life : love. We've stood the test of time. We still love each other deeply after the many years apart. I've found the one, my only one.

Rose's wedding

Rose is getting married and had invited me to help co-ordinate the wedding. I was thrilled but at the same time, I was afraid that I would mess it up.

When I arrived at the hotel where the wedding is to take place, some of the guests had already arrived. Most of the guests are standing around, not knowing what to do, therefore I sat them down and have them introduce themselves. I was determined to make this wedding fun for everyone, not just memorable for the newly-wed.

Rose was beautiful in her white gown, though the groom is no where to be seen.

While I was looking for some props to entertain my new friends, the guest started to move outside the building. Curious, I followed them. To my surprise, there is a big tent in the middle of the open field and it is crowded with people. In the middle of the crowded tent, a wrestling ring had been set up. Two fat man with red underwear were circling the ring, showing the crowd their "muscles".

To be continued......
