Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

Ashley saw that she was walking beside the lake with a man. The man was tall and with a good physique. His hairs were long that was neatly tied into a ponytail. When her vision got clear, she came to know that he was the famous singer Jacob. He was wearing straight jeans with a white T-shirt and black jacket upon it. They both were walking side by side each other. Ashley was wearing a white jersey with a bubblegum pink skirt while matching pink boots on it. It was a beautiful and peaceful place that looked out of this world. They were not talking or doing anything but just walking. The sound of birds chirping there was clear and it felt rejuvenating to the ears. The whole place was covered with grass and the sky was looking astonishing with its light blue color.

Her eyes opened suddenly with a low murmur of someone talking. She looked around and it got just 5 seconds to realize that she was in the bakery at work. After doing some baking when she felt a little bit tired, she came to relax and stretched her head on the chair's back while closing her eyes and this was a time when she saw that dream.

"Oh my God, what was that? " She touched her forehead with wonder " It was so freaking real and he was Jacob. My favorite singer." She murmured to herself with marvel.

"To whom you are talking to? " Emily asked Ashley while entering the room that was reserved for the staff only. "There is no one except you." She looked around.

" Oh my my Emily. " she stood up from the chair and came forward and excitedly grabbed Emily's arms. " I don't know I just fell asleep I think for just a few minutes and you know who I saw, I saw Jacob Howes in my dream. " she was screaming with so much joy.

Emily was looking at her weirdly.

"It was just a dream Ashley and you are reacting that you saw him in real. " she tried to show her the reality.

"No. It doesn't look like a dream, man. It looked real and you know what I saw. " Ashley put her hands on her chest with agitation. " I saw that we were walking beside a beautiful lake and it was a very fascinating view that I can't describe in words. "

Emily was listening to her while folding her hands on her chest.

"Ok. So then?" She asked Ashley with raised eyebrows.

"So that I am going to meet him soon, I know." She confessed while moving circularly with joy. Emily didn't see Ashley happier like this before.

"Looking for someone in your dreams doesn't mean that you are going to meet them in real life. " Emily reminded her.

"This wasn't a dream. It was real. I was not sleeping. I was just relaxing there closing my eyes and all the vision appear before my eyes. Every time I see something like this, it happens in my life. You remember I told you that before leaving my father's home, I continuously saw that I was shifting into a new home with Eric and you see it happened." She reminisced her memory of that time. Maybe more than Emily, she was assuring herself that what she saw is going to happen in real life too.

Emily took a deep sigh.

"I hope my darling friend that this dream of yours becomes real. " Emily doesn't want to break her heart. She knew how much she admired her favorite singer Jacob Howes.

"Thanks, Emily," Ashley hugged her. Her emotions were on the high end as there was one thing about her dreams that she only knew about and she has not told that to anyone even to not Emily and Eric. She knew something and it was her hope. What she knew was her hope to believe in her dreams.

It was a beautiful mansion located in the center of Nassim Road. If you see it from the outside you will not be able to view that glamorous mansion completely visible as it was covered by trees and fences and was established far back on its plot. It looked like it was purposely hidden by trees and walls as the people living there wanted privacy just like the others living on Nassim Road.

The mansion was made up of glass walls that made it look glorious to the eyes. Anyone who has a glimpse of it can't stop appreciating the architect for putting the tiny details and working on it so beautifully. Looking at it from the inside, it had a resort-like ground and a big swimming pool.

A Mercedes entered the house and got parked in the garage. The driver opened the car door and a woman aged around in her fifties appeared from the car. She was wearing a navy blue cotton silk shirt with white pants on it. There was a white beads necklace on her neck and her golden blonde bob hairs were styled in tousled curls. She was wearing white fury soft crocs. She headed inside the house from the track that was built between the ground. The inside interior of the house looked breathtakingly beautiful. The people who saw it just from the outside cannot comprehend the magnificence it has from the inside. The exterior theme of the house was dark brown and black color and was made up of glass walls while its interior walls were clean white with different mirrors covering the ceilings and fences. There were also high arched windows with white color drapes covering them allowing the daylight to enter and making the view of the outside look more beautiful.

The woman entered the lounge and from there she went upstairs. She went to her luxuriously furnished room. It was a beautiful white polished furniture having a king-size bed, a dressing table, sliding closets, and two side tables with giant size lamps on each side that sparked the window with its incandescent glint.

She headed towards the dressing table and removed her jewelry and came back to the bed and rang the bell of the intercom.

After a while, a servant knocks on the door.

Lisa Howes who was lying on the bed while checking on her phone said "Come in. "

The servant came inside. "Yes, Mam?" He asked.

"Has Jacob left for the studio? " She asked while caressing her fingers on her hair.

"Yes, Jacob sir went as always at his usual time. " The servant informed her.

"Ok, any info about Mark ?" She asked about her husband Mark Howes.

"Yes, Mark sir came in the early morning and went again outdoor after lunch,"

"Ok. go now." She said to one of their old worker Thomas. He headed forward to exit the room.

"One minute. " She again called him from the back.

"Yes?" He responded quickly while turning towards her.

"When Jacob comes back, ask him to meet me. " She instructed him.

"Ok. Mam." He nodded and exited her room.

Lisa Howes was the mother of Jacob Howes and the wife of Mark Howes. Both husband and wife haven't a very good relationship which had a great effect on Jacob's life. His father Mark was a businessman and his mother was also a social woman engaging herself in outdoor activities and social work. Their big house always remained empty. Jacob had a big sister that got shifted to Hong Kong after her marriage and that made a void in Jacob's life. He used to wait for her to stay at their place so that its walls don't look this awful and feel this emptier despite all the necessities and luxuries of the world.
