HE'S LIVING IN MY
DREAMS
Zandrhine T. Macapulay
Kiara is an intelligent and kind student studying at
Harvard School. She comes from a wealthy family,
which enables her to attend a prestigious university at
the age of 17. She is proficient in various instruments,
with a particular love for the guitar and piano.
Additionally, she has been taught by her parents to
speak multiple languages.
One morning, Kiara's nanny knocked on her door.
Nanny (Teresa): Kiara! Wake up, you still have classes,
you might be late for school.
Kiara: Yes, Yaya, I'll get up now.
As Kiara stretched, she glanced at the clock and
realized she only had a few minutes left to get ready for
university. She quickly ran to their bathroom and took a
shower.
Kiara: Oh my gosh, I'm already late. Time is running out.
Kiara woke up late. She hurriedly prepared herself to go
to school. After getting ready, she said goodbye to her
nanny and headed to the garage, where she got her
own car and seemed to be in a hurry because she was
running out of time.
Kiara: Yaya, I'm heading out now. Anxious response.
Yaya (Teresa): Have your breakfast first!
Kiara: I'll eat later, Yaya, I'm running late!
Yaya (Teresa): Alright, take care, Kiara!
Kiara didn't have breakfast, so she might have had
stomach pains.
As Kiara was leaving, she started feeling dizzy due to
hunger, but she ignored it. While driving, her vision
gradually blurred, but she kept driving. Her car was
running smoothly, but suddenly, Kiara's car crashed into
a tree due to her loss of consciousness.
Many people witnessed the accident, so she was
immediately taken to the hospital. Kiara's family was
also notified, and they were very worried.
Kiara remained in the hospital for further treatment
because her head injury from hitting the steering wheel
was severe.
Several months later, Kiara woke up in a library,
seemingly understanding what was happening. She
met a guy named Kenneth, who was 18 years old and
came from a happy but poor family.
They met in a library where Kiara was sleeping.
Kenneth was annoyed because he couldn't find the
book he wanted to read.
Kenneth: "Uhh, where is that book?" he whispered.
As Kenneth passed by the table where Kiara was
sleeping, he saw that the book on her head was the one
he had been looking for.
Kenneth tapped Kiara and said, "Um, hello, sorry to
bother you, but can I have that book on your head?"
Kiara rubbed her eyes, unable to believe she was in the
library, and was surprised by Kenneth's request.
Kiara: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep here in the library. Yes, you
can have it," she whispered back.
Kenneth: "Sorry, miss, I've been looking for that book.
And saw that It was just on your head. Thanks."
Kiara was still puzzled by the situation but just thanked
Kenneth.
Three weeks later,
Kiara was walking along the beach, deep in thought.
She couldn't shake off the feeling of encountering
strangers when she returned home, which seemed
unfamiliar, but she chose to dismiss her feelings due to
her family's love for her.
As Kiara was lost in thought, she accidentally bumped
into a tall and handsome guy.
Kiara lost her balance and might have fallen, but
Kenneth quickly grabbed her waist and caught her.
They stared at each other for a long time, their eyes
seeming to communicate with each other. It was the
most romantic moment for both of them.
But Kiara suddenly pulled away due to her
embarrassment.
Kiara: "I'm sorry!"
Kiara bowed her head, apologizing to the guy.
Guy: "It's okay, Kiara?"
Kiara seemed surprised when she heard her name from
the guy, but she suddenly remembered that the guy
who bumped into her was Kenneth, the one who took
the book from her when she was in the library.
Kiara: "Uh?? Kenneth??"
Kenneth: "Yes, it's me!" (He happily responded) "How
have you been?"
Kiara: "I've been okay."
The two happily talked as they met again, walking
along the beach and exploring other places together.
After a few days, they started going to school together
since they found out they lived close to each other.
During their free time, they were always together
because they became friends and grew closer to each
other.
Kiara and Kenneth had built a beautiful relationship
over the years, continuously working on improving their
bond to achieve their dreams together.
Kiara found a job as a seamstress to help her family, a
skill taught to her by her family. Meanwhile, Kenneth
established his own coffee shop, which greatly
contributed to his family's welfare.
Both Kiara, 24 years old, and Kenneth, 25 years old,
decided to prioritize each other to fulfill their dreams
together.
They planned a nature trip for just the two of them to
enjoy and have intimate conversations.
As Kenneth prepared food in front of the tent, Kiara sat
by the stream, observing.
When Kenneth finished cooking, he called out to Kiara.
Kenneth: "Kiara, the food is ready. Come, let's eat."
Kiara: "Yes, Kenneth, I'm coming."
Kenneth had prepared this night to express his desire to
marry Kiara.
As Kiara entered the tent, she was surprised to find
flowers arranged by Kenneth. She was genuinely
touched by Kenneth's efforts.
Kiara: "Wow, what's all this for? These flowers are so
beautiful."
Kenneth: "Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate it. Come,
let's eat."
After dinner, Kiara invited Kenneth outside the tent to
dance a romantic dance.
Kenneth played the song "I Wanna Be Yours" by Arctic
Monkeys, dedicating it to Kiara, whom he loved dearly.
As the music played, Kenneth led Kiara in a dance
under the moonlight. They were happy, dancing to the
beautiful melody.
While they danced, Kenneth engaged in a heartfelt
conversation with Kiara, gradually shifting the topic to
marriage.
Kenneth: "You're so beautiful, Kiara. I can't express how
much I love you. Just remember, I'll always be here for
you."
Kiara: "Thank you for coming into my life, for the love
you've shown me. There's nothing I want more than to
reciprocate that love."
Kenneth: "Kiara, I'm ready to marry you."
With those words, Kenneth knelt before Kiara, offering
her a ring.
Tears welled up in Kiara's eyes as she was taken aback
and filled with joy by Kenneth's proposal.
Kiara: "W-why are you surprising me like this, Kenneth?"
(Kiara said through tears)
Kenneth: "Kiara, I love you so much, and I will always
love you with all my heart. Can I be your husband?"
Kiara: "Yes, of course, Kenneth. I love you so much.
You're the only one I want to be with in my whole life."
Kenneth was overjoyed that Kiara agreed to marry him.
He hugged Kiara and asked for permission to kiss her.
Kiara agreed, and their first kiss under the moonlight
became a romantic moment.
Two months later, Kiara and Kenneth were getting
married.
Kiara was in the bride's room while Kenneth was in the
church, excited about marrying Kiara.
Both of them were nervous about the wedding.
After a few hours, the wedding began.
As the song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
played, Kiara entered the church, radiating beauty.
Kenneth was overjoyed as Kiara slowly walked towards
the altar.
But suddenly, Kiara felt a pain in her heart. She ignored
it, knowing the importance of the day.
A few minutes later, as Kiara was close to the altar, she
suddenly lost consciousness. Kenneth rushed to her
side in a panic.
Kenneth: "Kiara! Kiara! What's happening? Kiara!"
Kenneth was frantic as he didn't know what was
happening to Kiara. He quickly carried her out of the
church to take her to the hospital.
As Kiara was rushed to the hospital, Kenneth cried
bitterly at the thought of losing Kiara.
Arriving at the hospital, Kenneth hurriedly sought help
from the doctors.
He was deeply worried about Kiara, but the doctors
asked him to wait outside the patient room

Kenneth continued to cry outside the room while the
doctors examined Kiara.
Despite the doctors' efforts to revive her, Kiara's heart
stopped beating.
After an hour of treatment, the doctors came out of the
room, delivering the devastating news to Kenneth.
Doctor: "I'm sorry to say that Kiara has passed away."
Kenneth: "No, it can't be! She can't just die like that,
doc!"
Kiara suddenly remembered the man she loved in her
dream and burst into tears in front of her family,
saying...
Kiara: "N-no! This can't be! It's not possible, why does
this have to happen, why?" (Kiara said, her voice
trembling with sadness)
Kiara's family didn't know what to do as they couldn't
understand the reason behind Kiara's constant crying.
At the end of the day, Kiara was left in a daze, tears
streaming down her face as she couldn't comprehend
what happened to her over the past eight years. But
she remembered the joyful memories with Kenneth in
her dream.

Kenneth cried and screamed in despair at the loss of So Kiara decided that she wouldn't love again unless it

One day, a young woman woke up from an eight-year "She slept for years, dreaming of love, only to awaken

The end.
Confused about her situation, she was immediately
attended to by a nurse, who informed her family of her
awakening.

After a few hours, her family arrived, crying tears of joy

at her revival.

Kiara's mother: "Kiara!! How are you? Are you okay?

What do you want to eat?"

Her mother hugged her tightly, filled with longing.

But Kiara still felt a pain in her heart, a pain that

seemed to have lingered from her eight-year-long
dream.
