Chapter 3 – Dilemma between dream and reality

Updated: Jun 7, 2020

What is a Dream ?- A Dream is something that we all see and try our hardest to achieve but we find it hard to do so. What is reality?- Reality is something that we go through everyday and face each and every point in our life.


I was standing there in front of our coaching class near the stand and she came towards me with a smile and we started our sweet romantic conversation. Whoa ! wait a minute should it be like that or should it be I was standing there in front of our coaching class near the stand and she was running towards me and she hugs me. Ahhh!!!!! Oh GOD again I woke up. Why can’t I complete my dreams ?? Seems like there is some rivalry between me and my dream, I dream only when I have to wake up for school GOD !! for once let me reach the climax of my dream. Those days were like so frustrating for me as I got to know the harsh bitterness to have your crush in different school, thus I was missing so many things which we could do together I meant like studies, class celebration , cultural activities and being together in school events also enjoying them, as those were the only times when people could connect with each other in various ways. As for me it remained a dream but somehow due to some efforts I used to get those chances on every Sundays after our coaching classes. I used to wait for Sundays to come and sometimes I asked God why weren’t there 2-3 Sundays in a week.


If someone asked me to define her or how does she look like? It would be too hard for me because for the person we like the most we can't express our feelings or the words to define them and affection fulfills everything but for me she was like a princess from heavens the one destined for me specially when she put her hair in a ponytail and her beautiful smile made my heart melt. I know it’s sounds like some movie. Those days she was like the sun to me who brightens my day. That night I had another dream that some random guy proposed her and she rejected me. That was the time when I recalled my superpowers Facebook. I know it may sound funny but for kids like us at those times Facebook used to be the only option where we could meet new people, chat with them and looked at each other's life. So I decided to send her a friend request on Facebook and it got accepted. The first thing that came to my mind was to check her likes in every field so that I can impress her, so I went through a long list of her likes and Trust me on this it’s not easy to impress a girl even if you know her likes – I am saying it on several observations. Things were going at their

own pace for me and it was enough. I gathered a lot of courage, practiced as many times as possible and Finally I said it – Yes I told her that I like her, I want to be in a relationship with her. She left abruptly without saying anything to me.


After that I felt so embarrassed and kept asking myself if I did do all the things in a correct way or should I have done something else in an extraordinary way to impress her. I felt so irritated and thought maybe, there must be some way to know things or to read someone’s mind. The whole night I prayed to GOD that things should go well, that she is not angry on me and then bad thoughts started coming to my mind like what if she will never talk to me again? Or what if she slaps me? Or what if she just ignores me and insults me in front of everyone? That night I was

totally hopeless and prayed everything should be fine between us. Waiting for next day!!!....
