Dreaming Alone 
-Chapter 1- 
Dreams On A Parchment"Hey Julia!" Michelle beamed.
Her tawny face came into view with her rosy heart shaped lips. Everything
about Michelle suggested happiness, when she smiled so did you. She was
holding a small marble coloured navy blue book. "Look what I've found!" 
 
"Hey! No fair! Give me that please!!" Julia whined a bit put off. She also
resembled Michelle but her whole world just revolved around her, her father
wasn't exactly really close but they had a 'special' father-daughter
relationship. 
 
"Oh, not yet Jewels," Michelle excitedly chirped while leafing through the
pages, "There are some tasty things written here!" 
 
Julia put her hands on her hips and scowled. In her irritation, she
re-adjusted her head-band which held an intricate pattern on it and some
beautiful peacock feathers. 
"It's my diary, my innermost thoughts and feelings!" Julia pleaded. 
 
"Look, you can tell me!" Michelle replied with a huge grin on her
face. "When a girl gets bigger, her mom doesn't be her mom but turns more
into a friend."  
 
"....Fine," Julia gave in with a soft sigh. 
 
"Yes!" Michelle smiled, she had won over her daughter...again. 
 
"But I will read it!" Julia said gripping to the diary. 
 
"...Fine," Michelle pouted, then brightened up. "But don't miss out the good
bits!" 
 
Julia sighed, and began. "Never have I felt such a sensation in 17 or 18
years, an unseen stranger has walked into my life. When I'm angry with him,
he showers me with flowers and gifts and when I'm happy the whole world
seems to go by so quickly, the only thing I want to do is let the world go
by in his embrace safe from all harm..." 
 
"WOW!" Michelle exclaimed, "Nice, so who's the guy?" 
 
"Mom, he's an unseen stranger!" Julia replied. 
 
"Oh wow, you mean there isn't any guy?" Michelle's smile faded, "Oh well,
you can never find a boy as good as that nowadays, Oh Julia, you are so
naive, haven't even met the guy and starting to dream." 
 
Michelle smiled to herself while she tried to tidy the already tidied room. 
 
Julia who was looking at the sunrise also smiled, "He may be unseen, but I
know he is out there...somewhere..." 
 
They both weren't looking at each other but they both knew what the other
was thinking, they continued this moment for 2 or 3 minutes until Julia
heard her fathers voice, it was more excited than Julia had ever heard it. 
 
"Michelle! Julia! Come on, come here, I want to show you something!"
Michelle's husband beckoned them over. 
 
When they got down he was admiring a...letter. He was admiring every inch of
it. He saw the two girls walk in and his normally tight face now seemed more
softer, like a little child who has just got their first bike and triumphed
in staying up. 
 
"Look Michelle, it's a letter from KOREA, can you smell it? Ah, my
home, my country!" He smiled cradling the envelope. 
 
Julia and Michelle exchanged a smile at their Korean father, who was
originally brought up in Korea and it was his real home to him. Julia took
the letter from his grasp and started reading it. 
 
"Dear Yuushi, 
We hope you're enjoying the lands of Arizona- of course, why wouldn't you
be? It is the USA and you haven't seemed to want to come in 18 years.
But in all of your Western airs, we hope you haven't forgotten the little
Easterners that reside where you first opened your eyes- and where the sun
really rises. 
You will be happy to know that the plans for Hwoarang and Julia's wedding....?" 
 
Julia froze, she dropped the letter and ran towards her room, with a
simpering glance from her mother. 
 
"Did you see that?" Yuushi grinned triumphantly. "The daughter still gets
shy around her father about her own wedding! Oh we have raised her so well.
The promise I made to my friend 15 years ago about giving my daughter's hand
in marriage has still been kept! Traditions don't die out!" 
 
He was whirling Michelle around the room until she lightly pushed him away,
she didn't want to favour him so she finally began. 
 
"Maybe, we should ask Julia, I mean 15 years is still a long time,
she was only 3 at the time! Maybe we..." Michelle was cut off. 
 
"Look, I'm sure she'll accept. She has never denied any order we have given
her. Michelle...she loves us and she knows that we are doing things for her 
own interest. Speak to her, then you will know." He smiled encouragingly. 
"I mean we're her parents, not tyrants!" 
 
Michelle ran upto Julia's room, where she found Julia tearing page by page
of her diary, bidding silent goodbyes as they flew by the wind. 
 
"I'm sorry, I forgot that I wasn't allowed to dream," Julia murmured sadly
as she heard Michelle slip into her room. 
 
"No my child, you can dream as much as you like...just don't hope on it
coming true," Michelle embraced her upset daughter. "Who knows, maybe
Hwoarang might be your dream?" 
 
There lay mother and daughter embraced.
