Dream during launch break


As I was going to work this morning, I passed by Starbucks to have my morning coffee. I was standing nearby the cash to pay and start my way to work, when he came and stood beside me.
"Good morning!" he said with a polite smile. I gave him a silent nod, wondering, "Do I know him??!" I tried to look at him when I was putting the money back into my purse. "I don’t know him, I never saw him!!" I turned around, walking to my car so slowly, thinking why I gave him all that time thinking of him?
Breaking my thoughts, a voice came from behind calling on a miss. I turned around to find him following me with a cup of coffee.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." I said back.
"The man over there told me that you have forgotten your coffee, and I suggested bringing it to you"
"Oh, thank you so much, and sorry for the trouble." I said with embarrassment. How could I forget my coffee?!!
"ermmm, can I ask you a question, please?" he asked.
"Sure, go ahead." Thinking that he want to ask me about an address or something..
"Did we meet before?" was his question.
Our eyes met at this moment. I can see something weird in his eyes. I feel familiar to the warmth in them. Few seconds passed, with a smile he raised his hand to introduce himself.
"I am Saif." He said.
We shake hands. "I am Hanan."
"So… mm... Do you have time to drink our coffee together?" he asked so politely.
To be honest, I wanted to but I have work.
"I'd love to, but I have to go to work now." I apologized.
"Do you have a break time for lunch?" he insisted.
What's going on? Why he is insisting, and why I don’t want to reject his invitation? I feel there is something arranged in our destinies.
Destinies? How come we could have a destiny together?
"At what time I can see you today? And where?" he asked as he was taking some few steps backward. He did not give me any chance to discuss or apologize.
I gave him time and place, and ran to my car.
I don’t remember I have done anything at work today, except looking at my watch from time to time. I feel that I know this guy, I know him so much. I talked to him, we laughed and argued. We had long walks and had launches and dinners. But yet I am asking myself, from where do I know him? And when did we meet?
The office was full of excitement, everybody was ready to go and have launch. I felt that I was not feeling good. I was nervous and alert. I walked through the main entrance of our building, heading toward my car, when I heard that same voice calling.
He was there waiting for me.
With that same polite smile, he said, "Hello, what a long day?!"
I just gave him another nervous smile.
"Come on, let's drive one car. We need only one." He suggested.
"I don’t think we need a car, here is a nice restaurant. Do u want to try it?" What I was trying to do here is not wasting time in the traffic jam. I wanted to talk to him as long as I can. I want to remember him.
He agreed. We both walked together, side by side, as we did before. What a feeling? Knowing someone from so long time ago and yet not knowing him!! I remember holding each others hands, but we both do not have the courage to do now.
As we were reading the menu, I took few fast glances at him, he was also looking at me. We made our order, and here we go.
We didn’t talk. We just stared. Few minutes, and he started.
"I really don’t know what is going on here, but I felt from the moment I looked into your eyes that I know you. Really this time, did we meet before?" he asked, seriously this time.
"I really don’t know, I had the same feeling this morning. I tried my best to remember were on earth we had met, but no can do!! I just have some pictures in my head popping up. But they were never true memories. Do you have any explanations?" I replied.
"Do you remember walking under the rain; we were holding each other's hands? Do you remember laughing and arguing together? Do you remember…"
"No way!!" I interrupted. "What are you saying?!! It is the same memories I have in mind! This can't be happening." I was excited to the idea.
"I have this picture in mind, I wonder if you have it too" he whispered.
"What is it, tell me?" I replied.
"You are standing beside me, holding my arm. We were so happy. I was the happiest man, ... emmmm as I can see and feel from the picture. Seeing you in your white dress, standing beside me makes you my wife!!! Isn’t it?!" dreamingly he described as I was imagining the picture.
"Oh, what have you said just now?" I interrupted.
"You are my wife in this picture.." he continued. "We must have been husband and wife once upon a time."
I rested in my chair with my eyes widely open, thinking am I insane to believe this!!!
"No way!! Are you serious" I laughed with tears. My tears fell, I was deeply so sad. I don’t have any explanation for that, but am really sad.
We didn’t talk for a while. He was looking at me with surprise. I guess he was surprised of my tears. He was shocked and could not say anything. He just watched me wiping my tears on my cheeks. I wanted to be in his arms at this moment. I wanted to tell him that I wanted to be his wife. I want to live the rest of my life beside him. But these are only wishes which cannot be true. There is no chance to be with him even for another hour.
Before the food arrives, I stood up and apologize, explaining I have to go back to work.
He understood the whole thing without going into details. He paid the bill, and followed me out. We walked till we reached his car. We stood there; no words could describe the emotions I had. But I felt that I have to say something. Something which may give me hope.
"Do you believe in living more than one life?" I asked, "I know, stupid question. I don’t believe in it anyway, but, in case there is another life we might live, will you look for me and try to find me?" I asked.
He nodded without saying any word.
"I don’t promise you that I will look the same." I said with a smile to break the ice. "but what I can promise you is to hold on these memories we shared together, and I will search for this look, in the eyes of all men I will meet. And never will accept any man in my life till you show up. So … don’t make me wait so long. I don’t want to waste another life time with out you beside me."
I didn’t wait his reply; I turned my back to him and walked back to my office. Trying to find out how will I live my life waiting the other one to start.

i want to ask you a question , and you are free to answer it or keep the answer for your self , do you write a real stories or it is all in your imagination ?
if it is a real stories then there is a plenty of conflicts in different ones , and if it is not a real ones then you have a very rich imagination combined with emotion_inteligent , since no one can write on others with that depth and meaning unless he/she is fully of emotions and also understatnd other's emotions.

any ways ,i find your style of writing is uniqe and very interesting , i like it.

actually most of them are from my imagination... and maybe one or two reflect an angle or phase of my personal life.. but most of them are what i see and feel in people infront of me who never talk or complain, it is just how i feel n people, and to be honest, i mean women not men. thank u for asking
