One of my best days

I am attending an event like commencement. Every attendee seems to have to make a speech in public. Any topic will do. Most of my friends talk about their ambitions, such as launching a new business or moving abroad to research. It won't be long before my turn, but I have not decided what to say. I am gradually getting nervous because I have nothing that would impress other people.

When I get a microphone to speech, I find the place empty aside from a woman. Everyone vanishes for no reason. She is one that I fell in love at first sight but have never asked her out for fear of being turned down. I feel awkward because she is gazing at me.

I do not think that I am an aggressive man in terms of romance, however, I take a chance and say, "The most fantastic thing in my life is I met you, Shouji. I really appreciate it. We had little chance to talk, though." She smiles at me, replying, "me too."

We hold hands and leave the stage together.
Before long, we find a lot of our friends running after us to celebrate.

...and then, I woke up.

I went downstairs and found my wife, Shouji, sleeping on the sofa in the living room. I lay down beside her and took her hand. It made her wake up. I told her the dream that I've just had. Staring at me, she gave me a warm smile, which was the same as the smile I saw in my dream.

I was extremely busy at work on that day, but my dream kept me feeling happy.
