Mimpi tahun yang lalu

The breeze saying hi to me friendly, the day was warm with sun shining bright through bunch of clouds. The air was heavy with excitement. A friend of mine was heavily pregnant at 10 months laughing carrying her large belly. I sat on the green grass in my yellow summer dress, the frill circle nicely around me. I continue reading my book until I heard someone said hi ‘Hye there pretty’, he said hugging my shoulder with one arm. I laughed and poked his ribs. “If my boyfriend sees this, you’ll be dead meat’. We laughed together for few more seconds before he looked me in the eyes and said it’s gonna be worth it. I smiled again sheepishly. The world seems right and I blend with it well. We read the book I’m holding together, making comments all along and cracking jokes before we burst out laughing again. Our laugh died as I saw someone sit down beside him. My boyfriend. He said hi then he left. My mood suddenly turn sour, the breeze, the sun and the laugh surrounding me seems have moved to another planet. I lay on my back, looking at the bright sky and start sobbing. How can beautiful day turn out to be so gloomy? The guy next to me, lay down too. Close enough to give me comfort, far enough to give me space while I battle with my own emotions. Then suddenly the trumpet sounds fill the atmosphere. Everybody scramble to their feet and making a long line at side of a brick path. Few ladies in beautiful dress walk pass us holding a candlelabra. The fire flickered as they walk past. I hugged the lady in purple, muttering thank you few times before we were brought to the dining table, waiting to be served carrot in salmon and peach in syrups. We waited at the table. My boyfriend beside me, and the other guy was far at the end. There is a bride in front of me smiling happily though she doesn’t have a groom beside her. Suddenly I was standing at the outer corner of the building, a table set up for four was just under grassy hills with one young women and her mother sitting there. They were asking me to join them. I was about to, when 2 large dogs came and sprinting down the hills chasing daughters of the young women. The last thing I remember, I read in the news paper the next day, the 10 year old daughter died saving her younger sister.
