The Dinner Page 3

  As it was time for school so I quickly got dressed and off I went in my car towards my school. I was in a hurry as I was already late. As I stopped near a traffic signal I saw a familiar face and when I realized who that person was I lost my senses. It was Amna with the old lady and Anita. They were in the car next to mine. I was staring at them. At first I thought it was another dream and so I pinched myself but it was not. Then the traffic signal opened and their car quickly moved ahead and disappeared in the crowd. I tried to search for it but I failed. How is it possible? I thought to myself. How can those characters of my dream be true? I never saw them again neither I was able to find out who they were nor I had the courage to search for that house but I have learnt a lesson from that experience. From that day I have stopped chatting with people on the Internet as it is a sheer waste of time and energy and I have never even thought of going on a date since then. I will never forget this incident.

  Authors comments:

  This story is purely fictitious. Some readers may think that dreaming in a dream is not possible which is wrong. One should remember that if there is something which one has not experienced does not mean that it does not exist. Readers may also think that so many miracles cannot happen together as have happened with the boy but the readers should not forget that the experience is a dream. It is basically a hint which I have given to the reader to realize that the experience is a dream moreover dreams are usually not close to reality and so something unusual was necessary in the story. Readers may also think that no one can eat so much as the girl has but they should appreciate that the girl is not a human. It’s a hint which I have given to the readers so that they may realize that the girl is not a humans and to make the situation a little further away from reality but closer to the world of dreams. All the characters in this story are purely fictitious. I hope you liked the story!
