Chapter 16

Alone Again

At some point during the detachment in my brain, I had a dream, starting sweet, but ending nightmarish. Now I feel it was not just a dream, but more like an antecedent to a real event or even my own fate; it was an encounter between my brain and my fate, like all dreams.

There were Rosa and I in the dream and the plot was not this world of confusion, rush and selfishness, but a different world where there were all creatures stood side by side, humans, animals, birds and fish, trees, plants and flowers, stars, clouds and moon. Apparently, Rosa and I were getting married that day; we were both adults in the dream–old enough to get married. Rosa was dressed up in white; everything she was wearing—gown, gloves, socks, sandals and flowers—was all pure white and she was the best bride that anyone could dream, even in a dream. I was also dressed up to be an equally matching bridegroom—in black trousers, blazers and shoes, white shirt and a black necktie.

I did not feel like I did not have any friends or family then because I was surrounded by so many kind-hearted and sociable beings that cared about me and Rosa, and our wedding. I knew Rosa was on her way to join me, to hold my hands, to walk together along the aisle to the dais, to agree to marry me and I to marry her, sign the documents and then start a new life as a couple—husband and wife. The fondness that we felt for each other since we met was taking its next stage—love, responsibility, mutual respect and care for each other which was basically the cornerstone of any married life, I believed. Although I had loved Rosa all the time, I was going to reiterate my love for her over and over in my mind and brain and also to the public, standing there, in front of the wedding dais. I would promise that I would love Rosa with all my heart, with all
