STORY OF A DREAM

A man facing the incomprehension of the situation of an ordinary spring day, without realising that destiny is about to interfere. The search for a song, which seems quite normal but has an unsuspected power.

That day, he was watching a funny and entertaining series before he came across a music he had already heard in a movie. As usual, this music was playing in his head without being able to put a name to it. Not knowing what to think, he went to the internet. He only knows the lyrics "West Virginia" of this country song, a good start. Validating his search, he came across the original song. Listening to this version, one could read the disappointment on his face, yet it was indeed this song. The story could or should have ended there, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a thumbnail of one of hundreds of covers of this song. He opened the video and listened. Beyond this cover, which he found a hundred times better, his ear was fixed on a voice that unfortunately, one cannot distinguish very well. Wanting to hear her voice, he looked for a song and found it immediately. It was at this very moment that fate intervened. Falling on him. He did not understand what happened to him. He fell madly in love with this young woman that he does not know. Wondering why, he theorized about his brain, but surprisingly about God, but that's just theories. He is so shy that he did everything he could do. Sent him a message on social networks, which did not have by the way. Write a poem about an inspiration, what else to do?. Probably leave her alone, after all it is not his problem. He often listened to French songs, which she must not know, about what one should have done, but did not. Maybe that's what gave her the courage to do it, it was useless.

This story is not the real story I wanted to tell. It is the story of a dream or of an overflowing imagination, which by certain point can be associated, that he made thinking of her.

Chapter One

« Once upon a time, there was a nice, but terribly ordinary man chatting on social networks with a beautiful young woman with crazy blue eyes and incredibly gorgeous Venetian blonde hair. They had both just met by, I don't know what miracle. They are not the same age, they don't speak the same language, they don't live in the same country, they don't have the same culture, and as if that wasn't enough, they don't have the same religion, I mean he doesn't have one. They have a lot of humor (it will take some). They get to know each other. The beginnings are not easy, because can you trust a person you don't know? However, he promised to make her happy and to help her no matter what happens, with love or friendship as a certain well-known singer says. Overcoming their fear, they discussed everything and anything, getting to know each other better. The day came when she asked him to come and see her, not in her country, but a distant relative. He was very afraid, because they had never seen each other, and he asked her to talk to his family to reassure them, for him too. After several discussions, especially with his sisters, he arrived in this city that he always wanted to visit. Yes, because of a movie whose name must not be pronounced. They both spend a wonderful time. So close to each other, but without speaking, they write messages to each other. They had nothing to say to each other, but they talked all the time, and they certainly wrote for a laugh. Then, it was time to go back, each one in his country.

Chapter Two

After this unexpected trip, the discussions seem to be more peaceful. Small gestures, glances, small phases that confess the truth without really knowing it, because during this trip, the unexpected happens. She also had feelings for him that she did not suspect, as an evidence. She didn't tell him, at least not directly, so as not to scare him. She was afraid too. The days and weeks went by. She missed her very much and she absolutely wanted to see him again. Her decision was made. A trip to his country was necessary, what madness he thought. After heated discussions and negotiations, the trip was on its way. She had a very precise thing in mind, to tell him clearly and in person these feelings. She also wanted to visit this beautiful country, one does not prevent the other. She will arrive with these two sisters, in the square of a small village, he arrived almost at the same time. They both made a very long journey. When she saw him, she rushed to throw herself into his arms, happy to see him. He too was happy to see her. Once this day was over, a lot of tiredness, the visits could begin, the questions too, because if he had already discussed with one of the sisters, whom he knew, it was less the case for the elder sister. They visited beautiful gardens and magnificent houses belonging to historical figures, in any case, they had fun and laughed a lot. One evening, or rather at sunset, at the ladies' castle, she took him to a bench to talk to him alone. She told him what he already knew, or at least thought he knew, and she felt like kissing him. It was a promise he made to her. She would decide everything, including the first kiss. Being shy, but full of humor, she took out of her pocket a branch of mistletoe and played a scene from a movie whose name should not be pronounced (yes again). It was a beautiful evening. Continuing their journey, they laughed well at the expense of the elder sister for various reasons, friendly of course. But the stay had come to an end. They had to leave each other again. This separation was much more difficult than the first one. He reassured her and said that everything would be fine.

Chapter Three

The days passed and the evidence of what he had to do was obvious. Go and live in his country that he doesn't know. Easier said than done. Discussing with his sister, he planned his arrival. He wanted to spare her from all this infernal organization. Several weeks passed, here he is at the airport in front of the gate that opens and he sees all three of them. She plunged into his arms and he kissed her without suspecting that they would never leave each other. A short car ride later, he met his parents and his brother, whom he had never seen face to face. I'll spare you all the details of a life change that, in this story, is of no interest. They live like in their dreams, of course, it is obvious. They love each other, they laugh (often at the expense of the older sister, go figure), they are happy.

Chapter Four

Now we are much further back in time. A beautiful spring day is coming. It's sunny, but not too hot, a light breeze hits their faces. They are all lying on the grass next to a lake. He feels good. He has found the right moment. They both knew from the beginning that this moment was coming. They just didn't know when. Without turning to her, he took her hand and asked her to marry him with a calm and peaceful voice. Staring at the sky, she, just as calm and peaceful, said yes, as if it were a matter of course, a destiny. All her family started to cry with happiness. His two sisters all in tears exclaimed "it is not too early". A collective laughter followed. It was a beautiful day. I will spare you all the preparations for this event. It was logical, but also full of discussions as you can imagine. I won't tell you everything in detail, just one moment in particular. The day was well advanced, it was going well, suddenly, his sisters took a microphone to announce that they had a surprise for them. A video montage, of photos they had taken since the beginning. On the music of a movie, no no it is not that one, it speaks about a vampire who does not have silver hands and a very beautiful young woman who is not Italian. There were their first texts that they had sent to each other, the first photos that she had made, the photos of their first kiss, a shot of the two sisters and all the other moments of their lives. On this beautiful song, it was a moment full of love and tenderness. The evening ended around a campfire with music.

Chapter Five

Many years have passed since that evening. There he is, in a greenhouse, in his garden, picking strawberries with a six year old girl named Marie. Suddenly they hear a voice coming from the house, it was her screaming for his two hearts. The little girl ran into his arms screaming mommy. After giving her mother a kiss, she said, "I'm with Daddy, we're picking strawberries. He approached his wife and gave her a kiss and added, "It's for your older sister so she can make us a pie. They start to laugh, without doubt, she was not expert and they return in the greenhouse all three. Since that lovely moment, they find themselves in the twilight of their lives. They are old now. They are sitting on a bench, the sun is setting. She has her head on her heart, a habit, he asks her "were you happy". She answers by looking at him with her beautiful blue eyes, promise kept then they kiss. They are finally happy both for the eternity. »

To imagine a whole life seems impossible. We only take the essential. You will say to me, why imagine it, you must live it. Yes, but to live it, it is necessary to be two. He finds himself in front of his screen, but nothing. His soul mate is on the other side of the world. He turns off his screen, goes to bed, he will come back tomorrow for the time of a story, of a dream.
