They say that a dream can come true. It just depends on how hard you work for it.

My old childhood friend who was a half foreigner once said 'Managinip ka na, dahil ang buhay ay maikli' which translates to 'Have a dream, because life is short'

That quote from the Philippines touched me. And when she left for the Philippines I had a new dream, a dream where I will be known throughout the entire world. A dream where she will see me again. But it has been almost a decade, will she... will she remember?

...

"Kaori, wake up school starts again today," someone says as I wake up. Well the winter break had ended yesterday and now school started again, which means more school work. I open my eyes and see Kousei waking me up, I suddenly become self conscious about what I was wearing, just a white shirt and shorts. I quickly hide my self under the covers and tell him to get out.

It was ironic on how I changed with him in the room once but now I'm still clothed but I told him to get out. He was such a kind person, too kind for his own good sometimes. I remember how one day after we both got well we went on a date and I used up all his money. It was a great day though, we had ice cream, played some games and he also bought me a small bear.

When I got out I quickly grabbed my bag and a piece of bread and then said goodbye to my parents. "Why does school have to start again?" I complain.

"Well we need to get good grades if we want to go to the same school, right?" He says.

"I have a dream,

That I'll be with you.

Until the last star will shine,

I'll love you 'till the end of time," I say. That was my new dream, a dream of where Kousei and I can be together, forever.

"You know Kaori," Kousei said, "I had a friend before who traveled a lot. I met him 5 years ago then he left at the same year. He told me a song about how a man loves a girl so much but the girl is always busy. He wouldn't care if she wouldn't spend time with him but he would savor every moment that she would glance towards him. So I will savor every moment I have with you. Because..."

"...Every second of every minute of every day is worth spending if every second of every minute of every day is spent with the ones you love," we both said.

"How did you know that?" I ask him. "You talk out loud sometimes," he says which embarrasses me.

My dream was to spend eternity with Kousei and his was to savor every moment of our lives. I love him for that, I love him for the person he is now, and then, and will be.

Thank you guys for reading this. I wanted to get a short chapter out before I upload the tenth, official, chapter to this story. After reading El Filibusterismo I realized that dreams can come true but you have to work hard and think if it's for the good. Thank you and remember 'Managinip ka pa, dahil ang buhay ay maikli'
