When Dream Falls


What will you do, when your dream falls apart? Will you still cope with it? Or let the fall takes you back to the real world?

Story starts with an attractive brunette name Samantha. Samantha has beautiful brown eyes, matches her slightly tan skin tone. Some people would say that she looks like Mandy Moore in “A walk to remember”. 
Samantha was a huge fan of Gordon Wyatt, a youtuber who was a thousand miles away from her. She first fell for Gordon when she saw a video he posted in youtube a few months ago. Since then, she followed Gordon in Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, wanting to know every latest updates of him. She was also active in leaving interesting comments on what he posted, hopefully that one day he will notice her, somehow.

And somehow, Samantha’s wish came true. Gordon replied one of her many comments. She was super duper excited. But she didn’t want to act like a fool in front of Gordon, so she played cool, replied Gordon with some simple words, trying not to show how excited she is actually.

Months passed, and eventually this youtube star Gordon is now a friend with this typical girl next door Samantha. They even exchanged their cell phone numbers to text each other. Most of the time, Gordon would be the one texting Samantha, asking how’s her day, and tells her where he is and what he is up to. And Samantha would just tell Gordon about everything, from her work, to her friends and even about her family.

Another few months have passed. The relationship between Samantha and Gordon became closer. Gordon would call Samantha every night, no matter where he is. Gordon is always very considerate and sweet. As days passed, Samantha knows that she has fallen for this guy. Nothing is better than to fall for a dream guy, even though they never met. Samantha decided to grab the chance and ask Gordon out for a date, to see whether things are going to work out between them.

“Hi Gordon. I heard that you will be visiting my neighborhood tomorrow. What do you say if we meet up?” Samantha texted. 
In less than 2 minutes, Gordon replied “Sure. I was about to text you on the same thing as well. What say if we meet at the Grand Dining tomorrow night, 8pm?” 
Samantha was so excited to see Gordon’s reply, and without second thought she texted “Okay. See you tomorrow then J”.

Grand Dining is one of the finest dining restaurants in town. 
“Maybe I should wear something fancy like a dress or something”, thought Samantha. So she took her car keys and drove to the best boutique in town. She didn’t want Gordon to think that she purposely dress up for him, so instead of some gowns, she went for a little black dress, with chiffon bottom. It costs Samantha almost 2 weeks of her salary for that dress, but she thinks it is worth it, for Gordon’s sake.

The next day, Samantha took off from work on time. Usually she would stay in the office until 6pm. But she knows that she has an important date tonight. Samantha went home, took a shower, get herself dress, put on some light make up, curl her hair, and put on a little of her barely use Chanel perfume. She did almost everything she could, with the hope to impress Gordon.

This is it, thought Samantha, standing in front of this huge door of Grand Dining. 
Samantha looked around and she spotted Gordon, sitting near to the window. He was all suits up. Samantha was so nervous but she needs to stay calm. 
As Samantha approached the table, she saw someone’s walking towards the table too. An elegant lady with dark long hair and deep blue eyes. Her red silk gown makes her fair skin looks even fairer. She walked towards Gordon, and he kissed her at her lips, then she sat down beside him.

That moment, Samantha stood there like a stone. Filled with disappointment, she walked out…… 
She texted Gordon after that “Hey, I’m sorry I cannot make it today. I’m not feeling well. Doctor asked me to stay at home to get some rest.” 
Again, in less than 2 minutes Gordon replied “Aww.. That’s too bad. I thought I can introduce you to my girlfriend Monica. I told her a lot about you, and she is really looking forward to meet you.”

Samantha’s dream of having a relationship with Gordon, falls. And unfortunately, she lets the fall pulls her back to the real world and never dare to dream again.

This is just a story I made up to tell about how a dream falls. Dream can be of many different types. About love, friendship, family, career and etc. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, your dream might come true. But one dream came true is not going to stop us to dream for another, because this is how people are, full of desires. A dream come true gives you hope to go for another dream, and high expectations that the other dream will come true too. But what if it doesn’t? What if the dream that you have high expectations of falls apart? What will you do?

Honestly, I have no idea which one will I choose, to cope or to bounce back to the real world. Very much depends on how important is the dream to me though. But one thing that I know, is to never be afraid to dream even when one of the dreams fall. Who knows if you cope with the fallen dream something better might happen. Not dream comes true, but at least to a better reality (Quoted from Wesley Chan – WongFuProductions).
