I had a dream, a WEIRD dream. And it’s one of the weirdest dreams I can vividly remember.
I met a man, a good looking young man. He was wearing black leather shoes, black pants and gray long sleeves with a blue tie. He looked like a young businessman who came across a noisy street looking for something he doesn’t even know.
“Hi Miss! Do you know the way going to Cubao?” and he smiled.
I stared at him.
“Huh?”
“Cubao, Miss. How can I get there? I’m not familiar with this place. I came from Muntinlupa City Jail.”
“City Jail?!”
He laughed softly. “Yeah, City Jail. Tumakas lang kasi ako eh.”
“Huh?!?” I didn’t know what to say. I wanted to laugh but he looked serious.
I got puzzled.
“Tumakas ka lang? What do you mean?”
“I’m a prisoner. Oh no, WAS a prisoner.”
“You’re a prisoner…?” And I looked at him from head to toe. “With that suit?” (Was he Leviste transformed to a young handsome man? Hahaha)
He smiled again. “Yeah. I’m a prisoner with this nice suit.”
Silence.
“Miss, would you mind if I’ll go with you?”
I was stunned. And blankly, I said “Okay….”
We walked. And he asked some personal questions. (Those I can’t remember. I just know I felt weird while he was asking me.)
Then we stopped in a corner. There were so many people there.
“Here ( I pointed right ), this is the way to Cubao. And here ( I pointed left ), this is the way to Quiapo.”
I looked at him. He looked at the way going to Quiapo.
“Hey, I thought you’re to Cubao?”
He stared at me blankly. Then, he smiled again. (I never believed in “killer smile”. But I guess killer smiles do exist in dreams. Haha)
I couldn’t stand his dazzling smile so I looked away. And slowly, I said goodbye.
I walked away. But deep down, I was hoping he’d follow me.
Then suddenly, reality came in.
That dream was so clear, yet so obscure.
I ignored it but it was bothering me. I couldn’t understand why. It was just a silly dream. The genre? ROMANTIC COMEDY. Haha!
But now, I found the reason.
I don’t know where is that place in my dream. But I’m sure about one thing, it was crossroads.
I met a good looking man who looked so nice and decent, but he was not.
He said he wanted to go with me, he did.. but not for long.
He asked for direction, I gave it.. but he didn’t follow.
In life, it is just like this. People come, people go. And there will come a special one who would go your way, but couldn’t stand the reality of righteousness so he gives up. Another one will just bluff you, pretending he’s following but actually he’s not. And another is just totally insane.
But I guess I’m more insane. Because no matter what happens, in the end, I’m still hoping he would follow even if he’s the wrong one.
And now as I remember, I smile.. I actually even laugh.
That dream is so real.
And do you know what part I love the most?
The ending.
I bid goodbye. I walked away.
And…
I NEVER LOOKED BACK.
( No matter what happens, just pursue the right way and you will never go wrong. )
