Dream (April, 29 2014)

I went out of my family’s house on my way to the office. Instead of taking the usual short road to arrive the main street and hail a cab, I walked in the opposite direction and took a longer road. I passed by the beautiful white house across the public park. Its main door was open and a former colleague of mine came from inside and greeted me. I told him I didn't know he was living there. He explained that his family has just recently bought the house. He added he was also going to the office and proposed we go together, but we had to wait for his mother and younger sister.

I was surprised that his family bought such an expensive house. He didn't seem to come from a rich family. I said to myself his mother must be old and wearing a traditional dress, but surprisingly I found a rather young, elegant and bit overweight lady.

I told them my parents were one of the first families who lived in the neighborhood in late 50s of the last century, and briefed them with the history of their house and its former owner who were a family composed of a husband, wife, son and a daughter whose name meant in the native language "Chastity". 

They didn't seem impressed of what I have said, and I guessed they might have had some sort of disagreement with the old owner.

We were walking towards the main street. The mother was talkative and funny. I felt my colleague was a bit embarrassed by her attitude. Again, I thought how his look was not in harmony with hers or with the beautiful white house.
