After a busy day of college and part-time job, Miki came back home.
After having dinner with the family, she went to sleep .Laying on the bed she kept thinking about what's going on in her life .
The sad and terrible memories was keeping her awake . All those pictures started revolving around in her mind.
. Boyfriend cheating on her......
Her mom lying unconsciously on the floor after beaten by her dad in an argument. Though her dad didn't mean to beat her to that extend but she passed out.
Instead of taking her to the hospital, her father was cleaning the blood stains on the floor so that neighbors won't find it a more serious issue.
Miki was crying for help listening to which the neighbors rushed to help and took her mom to the hospital.
Her mother was saved but Miki started hating her dad since then.
These might be small incidents to many people but it deeply affected her.
She tried her best to divert her mind and sleep but those memories kept haunting her.
After few hours, she finally fell asleep.
In the dream,………
She found herself alone in a quiet and desolate street ,hugging her knees crying silently as if there is no hope left .
Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
She stood up to see if anyone is around. Tears formed in her eyes when she saw her reflection in the glass window of a house.
She could feel the loneliness and emptiness in her heart even when she is dreaming. She couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears.
Suddenly , she heard the sound of someone 's footsteps echoing in the street.
She could see a man approaching her from the other end of the street.
Even the man was an inch away from her, she could not see his face clearly but can feel that he was not a stranger to her. She felt warm and comfort due to his presence.
On the other side, that unknown man was also going through the same things like Miki. He too could not see her face clearly but felt comfortable around her.
When he saw her crying, he could not stop himself from folding his arms around her and giving her a warm hug.
Miki's heart skipped a beat. She was so socked to process anything in her mind that she didn't know how to react . With his angelic voice he whispered the words in her ears which left Miki in confusion.
She didn't know what to reply but found his voice magical and soothing.
Miki unknowingly replied while sobbing ...
The Man could feel her pain and loneliness, every bit of it , equally as her. He gave a small peck on her neck while hugging tightly and tried to comfort her by his sincere words..
After listening to these words Miki felt like someone's there to care for her. She didn't felt lonely anymore.
The soft kiss on her neck made her come back to the senses.
Back to reality.....
Though she knew that she was dreaming but still she could feel his touch ,his warmth and the soft kiss even after opening her eyes as if these things really happened to her.
Miki was thinking who that man could be .His voice was echoing in her ears. She wanted to meet with him in person.
But, little did she know that the unknown man who appeared in her dream was none other than the most popular idol , Seagull.
When Seagull woke up from his dream, he was pretty amazed .He found it very surprising to be that close to the mysterious girl in the dream as if they have strong bond between them. But, in reality , he is an introvert , not at all interested in women and feels very uncomfortable around them.
But she was different.He wished if she really existed in this world. If he could find that girl in reality then she would be the one he wanted to spend rest of his life with.
Both of them knew that it was just a dream but it became a beautiful memory for them. Their voices was the only thing that they could remember perfectly as they were unable to see their faces . They could feel completeness when they were together and they realized that they have already started to miss each other and wanted to meet, just for once, in reality.
After few weeks everything went back to how it was. They almost forgot about the dream and went back to their busy lives but those feelings remained unchanged in some corner of their hearts .
As a singer and songwriter, Seagull continued composing songs and performing on stage . His songs were popular all over the world .But, this time his works included those new feelings and the fans liked it even more.
He still missed that mysterious girl and wanted to know about her as she was the only one with whom he was comfortable to be with.
An idea popped up in his mind that he would give some hints through his songs and interviews to that mysterious girl so that if she really existed, she could know about his identity .
Miki was fond of music. She used to listen to all kinds of songs from western to regional . Singing was one of her hobbies. She was one of the best singers of the culture club at her college.
While listening to some of the popular songs of world famous singers, she found one of the songs very surprising. The singer's voice was angelic , soothing and very familiar for her as if she had heard this voice before. It's lyrics perfectly described the current situation of Miki's heart .
After few moments, she suddenly recalled her dream . To her surprise, the singer's voice was very similar to the voice of that unknown man from her dream .At first ,she thought she was being delusional and imagining things but then she went through the lyrics . She found that the lyrics exactly described their situation and feelings in her dream. This surprised her even more. Miki was thinking that how could it be even possible and why would a singer appear in her dream about whom she never knew.
Miki thought that she was overthinking about the song but still she wanted to know who the singer of the song was, just in case if he was the same man in her dream. So , she took out her phone and started searching about his profile on the internet.
His profile included his details and one of his picture during his stage performance.
She found his profile very attractive and started listening his songs everyday. Gradually, she became his fan and started watching his interviews and performances.When she was going through the lyrics and his speeches in the interviews, she felt like he was trying to send messages for her about their unique, unknown bond and the dream.But still she thought it was unrealistic and shrugged it off. She didn't want to have any false hopes.
After an exhausting day, Miki went to bed. She needed good rest after finishing her examinations .It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
In the dream......
She was crossing over a small bridge when saw an unfamiliar street , almost deserted as very few people could be seen there.She saw a strange man standing in the darkest corner of the street.
She stopped and took a look at the man who seemed depressed and very sad. She found him familiar as if she had seen him before.She was shocked to see the famous idol Seagull in this state ....
She went near him to see whether he is alright. When she reached , Seagull turned towards her and said the words that startled her.
He seemed completely exhausted and stressed out. Tears were about to roll down from his eyes. Seeing him in this condition, Miki couldn't control herself and hugged him. Her heart was heavy after seeing him in this miserable condition, she could feel his pain as if her own. She tried her best to comfort him.
Seagull was surprised by her sudden action of taking the initiative to hug him.
Her sincere words and soothing voice was more than enough to calm him down. He was feeling great relief to know how she felt about him and how much she believed in him. After hugging her back, he disappeared in thin air.
Back to reality...
Miki got up and found that it was just another dream. At first ,she thought that her guess was right about Seagull being the unknown man who appeared in her dream earlier but then she found it too unrealistic.
She thought that Seagull appeared in her dream just because she thought that he was the unknown man in the dream which she had earlier or maybe because she was his fan.
She knew that she belonged to an average, middle-class family and couldn't be that lucky to have any kind of relationship with the most popular celebrity of the country even in her dreams.
So , she shrugged it off and went back to get ready for the college.
It is just too unrealistic for anyone like her to believe in such things.
