Dream

Christopher looked around and saw that he is in the school, he was in, But he graduated 8 years ago. He started walking around, the same familiar classrooms, ground, tress, corridor that he used to walk through every day before... his quiet time alone. He misses it all, a quiet wish to turn back the time... to relive those moments again.... He looked down and sighed which was lost in the air.

Suddenly he heard a familiar voice calling his name from the other end of the corridor. He looked up slowly, his eyes widened slightly as he closed them quickly afraid to open them again. He murmured to him, " It's a dream, right? No way it's real." He opened his eyes slowly hoping to wake up. But no... he saw that person again, same striking black hair, dark gray eyes stared at him which seem hide something beyond your imagination...a gentle smile on his face, he looked stunning like always, still the same as 8 years before when he saw him last like time didn't affect him at all. He called out Christopher's name again with that sweet gentle voice which somehow gave him goosebumps. He turned around and started running down the stairs. When he reached the ground floor, he was out of breath and his hair was fanned out. Just then someone hugged him from behind. Arms firmly wrapped around him and then he put his head on Christopher's shoulder and whispered in a low tone that it almost felt like he imagined it " Did you forget about me, Chris?"

Suddenly he woke up, short of breath. He sat up on the bed slowly. He clutched on his shirt as his eyes wander around. He was indeed in his mother's room. The morning light came illuminating the room. It's morning already, he looked at the clock, it's 6 am. He closed his eyes slowly and laughed bitterly. He murmured to himself, " Yeah, only a dream.... no way it was real." He bit his lips slightly and opened his eyes.

He stood up from the bed and went to fresh up.... After a while, he started making a simple breakfast, his mind lingering on the dream. He felt exhausted.... So much worse happened in this less time.

After breakfast, he got ready to go to his office. Work is always there you know. He sighed tiredly, all these recent events weighing him down like an invisible burden which he can't share with everyone. He got prepared for his work, that professional and polite smile back on his face,a mask that hides his pain from the world.

Well, some burdens are indeed like that which no one can see but it's always there weighing someone down, worst they can't be even shared too with someone... Everyone around you has that though you can't see it what that easy smile hides behind perhaps it's for the best or the worst.
