She Wasn't Aware That She Was In A Dream When She Dreamt

How strange it was that one day Natzuki had a really bad dream. Because she usually has the good ones. Perhaps it was because she has just got a job at the gift shop, which is extremely demanding. You wouldn’t know if you haven’t work in a gift shop before. They label everything in the store with the ONCE BROKEN CONSIDER SOLD yellow sticker. So Natzuki cannot afford to lose a bit of her concentration when she’s at work. That makes her time at work a traumatic experience.

That morning, 4 and half hours after Natzuki went to sleep, she wasn’t aware that she was in a dream. She spotted her boy friend, I think his name is Tomo, at the public library. Natzuki was worried, because this had never happened before. Was he sick? We don’t know. So Natzuki moved closer to Tomo, and she saw him reading a women magazine with a girl, who we will never know. Natzuki stood right in front of them politely, but her good manner was totally unnoticed.

She felt angry at Tomo who’s done this to her. He was so cold. Natzuki tried to give him the beating of his life but she couldn’t. She wasn’t entirely clear that why she couldn’t, so she cried. They’d just recently started talking about the plan to go the Caribbean Sea for summer, but now he’s reading a women magazine with a girl in the public library. Natzuki thought that it was difficult to believe.

It wasn’t easy for the couples to satisfy each other, but she felt that their love was becoming solid. But now everything seemed to fall apart. What would she do for the summer? It is too late to rent a cabin as they are normally booked months before summer. Even if she managed to rent one, there really isn’t anyone to go with. She cried harder. She hoped that everything was just a dream, and when she wakes up in the morning, Tomo would be sleeping right beside her.

And it worked out the way Natzuki had wanted it to be. She woke up in the morning with tears in her eyes, and perhaps, a decision to quit working at the gift shop.
