What a Bad Dream!

Mom: Knock! Knock! Good morning my baby girl..Hmmwah! Oh! It’s early in the morning you have to set that aside. It’s school time.

Pia: But Mom……

Mom: Ooooops! Mmmmm…. No….no….no…..( grabbing the tablet) You can have this after school.

That is the scenario that we have every morning. Mom would always get my toy and fix me up to be ready for school.

In school…..

Pia: Oh my! What’s this? (smiling) Sweet candies….sweet….divine…sugar crush…..mmmmmm mmmmm. Teacher, I’m done.

Teacher: What have you done with your test paper Pia?

Pia: Nothing teacher.

Teacher: Nothing?! Look at this. It’s messy.

I’ve scratched my test paper because what I’ve seen are all candies which I am playing in my tablet. I thought it was, I didn’t know it was only my imagination. Mom scolded me because of what I have done.

One day…

Mom: Pia, I’ll visit your grandmother at the hospital. Stay here and study your lessons. Ok?

Pia: Ok Mom. Bye! ( kissing mom)

Instead of studying my lessons I look for my tablet. Mom kept it because that is my punishment for not doing well in my exams.

Pia: Yes! I found it…Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! I miss you my tablet. It’s play time. (manipulating the tablet) Sweet….Delicious… Divine… Sugar crush…. Yes! I made it. I’m moving to the next level.

I’ve grabbed all the chance to play while my mom is away. Until….

Red candy: Oh hello my little girl. Welcome to the world of candies. hahahahaha

Pia: Oh! no no no….. Where am I? What is this place? ( crying) What can I see is big candies of different colors and styles. There are stripe ones and plain ones….it’s

like…it’s like…the candies that I am playing in my tablet. (crying)Help! I want to be out here..Mom! Please help me.

Green Candy: No one can hear you. Hahahhahaaha….You’ll stay in our world. You’ll be one of us. What would you be? Plain? Stripe? My fellow candies pick her up and bring her to the factory we will make her part of our world. We will dress her. Hahahahaha….

Pia: No! I’ll not go with you. Please let me go home. (crying) Mom! Please help me.

Mom: Pia, Pia…Wake up! Wake up! Why are you crying?

Pia: Mom! Mom! (hugging mom) Thank you for saving me from the world of candies.

Mom: What are you talking about? You’re at home. I found you sleeping while hugging your tablet when I came home and you are shouting begging for help that’s why I woke you up.

Pia: I thought I will be drown in a hot sticky mixture in a big metal basin.

Mom: See! That’s what you’ve got in playing your tablet ceaselessly.

Pia: I’m so sorry Mom. (hugging mom) I’ll obey you next time. Promise I’ll be a good girl.

Mom: Promise?!

Pia: Yes mom! (making hand salute) Thank you Lord it was only a bad dream.
