There he sits before her with his fabricated aura .Nothing separating them apart from the round table which was adorned with candles to add an aesthetic touch to the place. He stares at her , the corner of his lips twitching into a kind smile . A smile that has accompanied her for numerous nights.

" what would you like to drink?" He asked her tactfully . His voice asserting dominance on her heart while she gazed upon him nonchalantly .

Blue eyes like the sea , a light beard adds resilience to his appearance and a black formal suit accentuates his manly attributes.

To put it simply , he's perfect.

" the man of her dreams " that's what our girl decided to call him . Even with that , she was only staring at him- unable to speak . As if it was a fantasy.

Interrupting this sentimental atmosphere was a loud , annoying noise. She couldn't determine the source of it ; The restaurant was a huge and a fancy one . She turned right and left in hopes of distinguishing the origin of the noise but to no avail. She fixed her eyes on the man she didn't know. Every time she tried asking him , her voice refused to come out . She attempted to tell him that she no longer can hear his noble words .... but her tongue denied her .

" No! He's disappearing " that's what her mind was shouting .

She tried resisting this voice again , because she doesn't want to leave him again. She always hated the sorrowful look he had whenever she was about to take off. His look was filled with blame.

*********************

She opened her eyes to welcome the the sun's golden radiance , exhaled angrily while she removed the bedsheets covering her . God did she hate waking up from such rosy dream.

She wore her lovable job uniform and headed outside to take a cab as she prepared to go to her job with a bright smile , not because of her love for her work only but also due to her happiness of accompanying such a dream for over a year! In other words , since her moving in to the fog city - London.

The girl in her twenty's got out of the cab , handing the driver his required amount of money , kindly. She looked up only to read out the name of her work placement proudly - as per usual- since she considers it one of her dreams that came true.

" Baf's company for advertisement and promotion"

Yes! She is one of the photography interns in the place - she always adored such a job and yearned to be one of the biggest photographers one day.

She entered the place happily , greeting all her colleagues genuinely , while most of the employees responded with frowning faces as they despised working early hours in the morning and it was quite rare to find someone who would actually smile back. But she ? She was always smiling.

How strange she was !

She headed to the photography department to put her handbag on the table in front of her and grab a seat.

" the man of your dreams appeared again ?" Asked one of her close friends - as usual. Or it would be the best to call her " her roommate" whom she nodded to with no argument.

That's right! He's the reason behind this smile...him , only.

The manager handed out work files to all employees in the photography department in the company and asked them to complete the required tasks in two weeks . Clearly , they had no choice but comply , because they're still interns in the company and they have to prove themselves to get a permanent position in the company.

She opened her file and found out that ' nature' was her assigned theme.

Boring! Was the first thing she thought . That's the only adjective suited to describe these files.
