A Dream Life With You

Chapter 45: 30 Months Later.

Two and half years later...

Yet again, it was the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end. The dawn was leaving and a brand new day was coming. A new chapter of life was beginning. The old chapter of life was ending. 

The sky was a really beautiful shade of pink. A light pink sky was above as it was raining the blessings of new happiness upon the people. 

A beautiful person lay asleep on the bed. So peacefully and beautifully that sleeping beauty wasn't much in front of her. The blonde hair that reached her face now reached her waist. No one would be able to say she was in a vegetative state if not for the machines connected to her.

Gently like the most beautiful breeze, her eyes fluttered open. They softly blinked. They got teary as they hadn't been exposed for quite a while.

Her soft peach coloured lips opened but no voice came out. She closed her eyes for a moment to clear her head. She took out all the machines attached to her.

As her bare foot touched the ground, it felt cold. She wanted to get up but she felt weak. It took her great efforts to finally get up. However, her legs shook badly so she had to sit down again. 

Victoria walked with the support of the wall. She was slow but there was no rush as she looked around in confusion. She woke up and the first thing she saw in the morning was a hospital. Everything was novel and confusing for her. 

When she got out, Victoria finally realised that it wasn't a hospital. Rather it was a small beautiful cottage with greenery covering it. Although Victoria has always been wealthy, she never enjoyed life much. So she didn't see places like this often. It was her first time in such a beautiful cottage. 

She felt refreshed and energised seeing that. Right outside of the cottage was a bicycle. It was very simple and comfortable with wooden colour. It had a straw basket. Victoria felt like riding it but unfortunately, she could barely walk let alone ride a bicycle.

As she walked the paved path between the trees and flowers, Victoria saw some beautiful animals roaming around freely. There were pretty different coloured rabbits, Persian cats, hens, etc. She also saw two horses at a corner separated by fences. 

Then she saw a pound. It was huge and beautifully decorated. 5 angel statues were surrounding it with their hands cupped as water flowed out of it. Victoria looked into the pound. The water was so clean she could see everything. What she saw was a lot of beautiful coloured fish. There was angelfish, goldfish, and all the harmless fishes.

Seeing this all with a bright lightly shaded pink sky the first thing after she woke up, Victoria felt good. After years, a simple and innocent smile formed on her face as she looked at the pound. It was a smile of a child.

Victoria found a stick and walked with its support. She wanted to explore further to see what more beautiful things this place had. Her mind was filled with the present as nothing of the past or the future was in her mind. She wasn't even sure if she was alive or dead and if this was a dream or reality. She just wanted to enjoy this long lost peaceful moment.

Finally, she reached the end. There were fences covering the cottage. The path she walked ended in front of a gate connected to the fences. Victoria guessed it was private property. 

Victoria walked outside and closed the gate. As she had walked a little, she felt better. It was easier walking now. However, she felt very weak and hungry. As soon as she got outside, Victoria saw simple cottage-like houses all around. There weren't a lot of people on the street but Victoria could see some at a distance. Even the street was filled with greenery. It was a very remote and simple harmless place.
