"Three o'clock in the afternoon", the blinding sunbeam looks like in a hurry to set and rest, the warmness we felt are gradually replaced by a cold squall as the clouds filled with stream hovering and preparing to burst.
"I am now living with my day dream, and I can't let the rain devastate this moment"!
After an exhausting hour of doing my home responsibilities, "I deserve to relax with her"
Hope and I were together, sitting in a huge bench under the shadow of a deep-rooted bamboo tree. The cool breeze makes the tree bopping while producing a creaking sound which remind us of different scary and terrifying old tales of ghost.
"They said that there are monsters behind the creaking sound of old bamboo tree, when you try to look inside of it, there he will come out and eat you and you will never go back home anymore. "I said with a loud and deep lowered voice trying to shock her.
"Is it true?" she asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes" I answered.
I sense them, they are right behind your back! I jumped down from the bench and run recklessly going in a vacant lot. Grasshoppers and tiny dragon flies instantly pop up as I fell on the grass while I'm laughing seeing her annoyed.
She immediately run before me with a shuddering face, her eyes were streamed with tears, her roseate lips turned pale then she freaked out.
"Why did you do that"? I'm scared! She said while wiping her tears.
"It's not funny"! She added while threatening me with a punch.
"I'm sorry", but there's no such thing. Monsters aren't true. They are just myth!
"I'm scared, because you left me"! Unceasingly crying.
"Okay, I will never ever do that again". I promise you.
"Really"? with a doubting face.
"I really do"! I swear!
"Promise me you will never leave me"! Hope said.
When I looked at her face, I felt the guilt because of what I have done. Her face shielded with streams of tears. She was like in a middle of the street, alone and crying because nobody upkeeps her. And I belong to those heartless people who left her in agony. "I am merciless".
I looked straight at her brown teary eyes and suddenly I felt compassion. She was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Villafuerte. While her parents are busy at work, she left alone in their house. Then, I realized how she fight her feeling of being unaccompanied. She was longing for attention, love and care that her parents failed to provide.
So, with an open heart I swear. "I will never leave you". I seriously said.
"Promise"?
Yes! I promise"
Her gloomy face hurriedly turned into a lively one.
"Let's do a pinky swear" we laid our eyes on each other as we swore to our promise that we will never be apart.
(A sound of radio playing in the nearest house)
🎶
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
Clouds high over the rainbow, makes all your dreams come true!
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me, oh
🎶
(The song continues to play)
"Time stopped" everything was revolving around us while we are still staring on each other's eyes. A bright light from above came flashing like a lightning in the middle of the night. We close our eyes while our pinkie fingers are still in touch. I don't know what's happening until we decided to open it and see what's going on.
We are enclosed by a dazzling different color of the rainbow, while the green grass turned in to a pieces of gold planted with different trees. Those trees are incredible for its branches are covered with gold and its leaves are like a gem stone, diamond, amethyst, ruby, jade, pearl, emerald and many more. Everything is shining as the light reflects on every petals of a very gorgeous flowers.
"I have never seen such beautiful flowers in my entire life". I am filled with wonder.
Hope doesn't contain her amazement, "This is amazing" this is so wonderful!
Birds literally sing with words and lyrics. You can hear the laughter of bees and butterflies.
There is one cave with jars full of different colors of candies and sweets, it has a soft and comfy bed and a complete set of chairs and tables all are coated with gold.
"Animals are talking and you can be friends with that belongs to the wild, because in this place they are gentle and sweet and caring at the same time".
In a distance, there's a bright and shining waters falls, from the silver rocks above the mountain down to the river where rainbow colored water flows. Fishes big and small are happily jumping out of the water just to greet us "welcome"!
"This is really astounding" "I am really happy; I wish we could be here anytime" Hope whispered.
"Yes, we will" I said while we are staring at the colorful bright sky.
"Am I dreaming"? I whispered to myself. "I wish I am not"
(A woman came and called our name)
Dennis! Dennis!
Hope! Hope! Wake up! Wake up!
She is mother.
"You two"! "Why are you sleeping on the grass" Let's go home before we may reach night on the road. Mother commanded us.
"It was just a dream" Hope said unhappily. "No! I believe it's true! We are not dreaming, it is real.
