Dream

A Story by praful

Is that the sound of a jack hammer or a driller or some other machine, a Sound of a machine is heard from a long distance… nothing is visible because of thick fog. The sound of cows and goats is getting clearer .sun is still sleeping behind the Blue Mountains. The Ariel view of the farm is getting clearer as the sunrays came piercing through the fog. It is very beautiful … it is a vast land having lush green vineyard.

One end of the vineyard is the wooden farm. A road is there through the vineyard reaching till the farmhouse. On the other side of the farm there are herds of cattle and goat. Chickens and other birds are in the net on the backyard of the farmhouse… cattle and goats are separated by wooden fencing. The sound we heard before is a man working on a tractor. He is wearing cowboy hat a check shirt and a denim shorts. He is tall and thin. He looks very happy and pleasant. He is doing his job with great enthusiasm. “Jack …. Be Careful “a shepherd dog running around the tractor..That is jack… the very close pal of David.

“Davidddd……. Davidddd”, a sweet and loud voice from the farm house… she is Sera, David’s soul mate… “Come on honey have breakfast” “yeah coming ...” David replied loudly. He stopped the tractor and turned it off … jack understood why he stopped… he started running in the front,” jack wait for me pal…” jack is too hungry too as he started working with David from 6 am. In the veranda she was standing with a beautiful smile… Sera, David’s wife…. She is very pretty..“David, did you see the time, it is half past 8 … are you not feeling hungry?” her voice was so gentle and sweet filled with love and care... “Yeah I am damn hungry dear… sorry honey...Love you … muahh… “A soft and gentle kiss on her lips…” her face glowed ... "Oh... I forgot sweet heart... You are tired too.. Come have your food”, she gave food to jack...by the time David washed his hands and face from the water in the tank in front of the house and came…

There is a breakfast table in the veranda, she came and sit beside David... Served two pieces of bread a piece of meet and green salad... They shared a gentle kiss before started... Eating... They were talking about the cows tat one in the shed is ill need to call doctor.. In that 3 square km only 2 human beings are there, David and Sera... They bought this vineyard from an oldFrench man… who wanted to sell everything he had and move to his home land….

When David and Sera bought this farm it was just a vineyard but now it is a heaven. David was an accountant but his desire was to become a farmer who feeds the world … after his post graduation in finance he did accounting job just to earn money to own a farm... When he started dreaming about a farm, don’t know, but he is so passionate about it. May be it is inborn as his grandpa was a farmer...

Whatever, he reached his aim at such a young age. He is just 30 running. People of his age dream about living in a cosmopolitan, having posh cars, luxurious apartment in city and huge bank deposits. But don’t ever think that he is a poor farmer. He is rich enough so that he could build a castle for his beautiful wife. But she never wanted a castle. She is happy and fine with David’s simple life... David and Sera finished their breakfast. And took the dishes inside to wash it..In the kitchen... David started wasting the dishes. He took Sera's too. Mean time Sera cleaned the kitchen... The kitchen is so amazing. The wooden kitchen having black granite and their cooking range is white and on the top of it the white chimney. Everything is well placed and properly arranged. David holds Sera's hand and went to the backyard... There is the cattle shed, sheep’s and you might have noticed two horses the black one is spike and the white one Janet... Seeing Sera spike became restless... "Spike ... How are you my boy?"

They moved towards the sheep... Opened its gate and all the sheep started running out with the joy of freedom... The vast grass land behind David's farm is their paradise…..Jack was very energetic after breakfast it is his job to control the sheep… as a master he is guiding them.. David and Sera moved towards the cattle shed... Sera showed the cow which is ill... David took a closer look and brushed its neck and asked, what happened my girl? Not well..? Okay. Sera opened the gate of cattle shed and send all the cattle except the ill one out...all rushed to the grass land...

They closed the gate and Sera and David went back inside the home... Sera sat on her table switch on her pc...Sera are a writer, blogger and also she works as a teacher in a kindergarten... She is kind and loving. She loves kids... She started writing something... Her new work is under construction... David took phone and called doc Samuel who is an animal doc and told him the symptoms David noticed in his cow... "Ok doctor... Yeah we will be here...Yeah please come...Yeah... Bye"

Their well furnished drawing room is very classy and rich. They have a grand piano on one side and a sofa on the other side a fire place is there in the middle. David walked to Sera and hugged her from back..Sera just love that when David do. She feels so safe in his arms.. Love you honey. Sera said. David kissed her lips.. Her lips are like petals of a rose. Few seconds both were in another world... See honey. Breaking the kiss Sera said... My story reached here pointing her note she told David...” hmmm... A sigh from David.. And he turned her around and hugged tight. She too holds him tightly...And their lips started loving each other ... Oh honey... Sera whispered... Love you Sera... David said..." suddenly calling bell rang... "Hello... David... Sera...Are you there..." doc... Samuel...” David said.. Yeah... Coming...” David and Sera looked each other and smiled... That smile had so many meaning that only David and Sera knows And gave a sudden kiss... And rush to the door...

“Hello doctor ... Come inside...” ”Hello David, hei Sera...” you came so soon David said...Yeah ...“I was on the way to Westwood when you called “would you like to have some coffee doctor” Sera asked … “Yeah , sure Sera please.” David and doctor started talking about some farming issues… some common news happening in the country... Samuel is around 50s, he is quick witted and funny person. By the time Sera came with the coffee and served to Samuel and David as well “thank you Sera”, Sam said. Sera went back to kitchen and took her cup of coffee and joined David and Sam. After some time of generous and funny conversation with Sam, he asked “shall we move to the cattle shed?” “Sure” Sera said and nodded her head and guided him to the cattle shed he did the check up and gave David some advice; he took blood sample of the cow and injected some medicine… “Okay David… Sera... I am leaving... Please don’t mind... I need to reach there by 11” And he walked towards his car... Sam started his car and said “bye David, bye bye Sera… have a nice day ““Ok bye. Thank you doctor … bye bye… “

When he drove off his car Sera and David looked at each other and came close to each other…. “You were saying something honey???”Their eyes got hooked and hugged tightly, they are now a breath away and David’s lips melted in Sera’s ... a loud voice came suddenly...” David... David... The voice sounds so familiar... Its 8.30... Wake up... Here is your coffee... David... Wake up dear... Time to go office...” he opened his eyes slowly and checked time on his mobile ... “Oh my God... It’s too late...” He soon got ready for office... Had breakfast and walked to the bus stop... On the way he was smiling remembering the sweetest dream he ever had. “Who is Sera..? Do I know her? Whatever, you gave me a beautiful dream….Waiting for you to come into my life Sera… love you “
