One Saturday night, Reynaldo is staring at the window, wishing watching the rain drops and splatters in the street. He is watching the rain drops onto the leaves as it drops to the ground. He hears thunders and watch the lightning strikes the sky. The lightning adorn and lights the gloomy look of the sky.

He is watching these little kids play under the rain, laughing and simply enjoying the natures gift. He is watching them as they get wet. Their wet clothes kisses their fragile body and shrinks exploits all their curves as they continue to play and merrily laughing and joking at one another.

As he is watching them, he closed his eyes and drawn dozed into the realms of all good things happening. Everything is sparkling when the sun kisses on anything. The glow of the sunlight is a joy to his sighting gives strength to his weakening heart.

Butterflies fly around him as he walks around the meadow adorn with flowers blooming rampantly decorating the vast grassy land. The bees buzz and the birds chirps harmoniously orchestrated. The wind blew so gently that the leaves of the trees in the mountain creates a harmonious sound that adorns the animals sound. It is an orchestra of nature, Rey thinks.

He walks further and found the waterfalls in his dreams every night. He imagines that waterfalls that he is like the other kids so healthy swimming without hesitation and worry that he might get tired and get drawn. This is his time to swim that he always wanted. He dived and landed into the water gracefully like a professional diver. He felt the joy of the water, he felt how his body get so relaxed when he is swimming. He is all alone. He was laughing and screaming at the top of his voice. Everything is magical. Everything is real.

Suddenly, a fish appeared into his sight. The fish looks so familiar. Rey feels an excitement seeing that fishes swimming with him. Then he remembered it was his childhood pet, which he calls bestie He kissed his pet and played with him all day.

The sun shines directly above him so he bid farewell to his pet and walked further into the woods. to take cover from the heat from the sun. The trees stand firm as he passes by letting him feel secured. The apples and oranges are simply too low so he could reach at them whenever he is hungry.

He walked and walked and walked like he owns all these. He is happy. He is alone in the woods and into the meadows where he lie down and watch the sky so blue, so clear adorn with clouds that shelters him from the sun.

As he is lying down and enjoying his time. He remembered his childhood. His childhood adorned with his yearly trophies of exaggerated battles of life, of mockery and of disbelief. It was a time where no one would ever believe him.

In those years of sorrow childhood, there is only one person who cared and stood by him. His best friend. His confidante and his comforter. However, fate has a way to definitely have its own way to play. His best friend has finally needs to go away.

He felt a relief. The memories of his best friend came back and he smiled widely remembering how his best friend barge into their house and drag Reynaldo out of the house to play. In his mind, the memory of his friends flashes like a movie. They played hide and seek, they laugh together cried together. Played soil and wet by their own urine to create a pot or plate.

Suddenly, he hears someone calling him. He woke up and tried listening to that familiar voice and what the voice is trying to say.

"Rey, wake up," said the voice.

Rey remembered that voice. The voice that was once lost for so many years. His best friend whom he hadn't seen for years.

"I am just imagining", Rey told himself.

"Rey wake up!", again the voice repeated.

It was then, when he slowly opened his eyes.

"Aha!, you opened your eyes at last! You've been asleep for days now!", his best friend told him.

"Finally, after 20 years we've finally meet!", Rey said. "I hope it will not be good bye though!", he continued.

"Of course not! In fact, tomorrow me and my wife and my son will come back. So take a rest dude! I am sure my son would love to see you. I told him that I once had a playmate growing up who is very brave!", his best friend continued.

"Ok! I will see you then!," then Rey slowly closed his eyes!
