The Bro and Sista Dreams(RAMDANI Moustafa) By Ramdani Mostafa
Oujda, Morocco, September 5, 2014

The brother - the bro as the sista like to call him - spent the whole season sowing and preparing his secret garden. He wanders all the time in the forests and climbs the mountains to look for nice flowers, pull them up , and take them to sow them in his secret garden with his specific own method.
On the other side, facing to the garden, was a big kingdom. Where she lives an elegant Queen – the sista as the bro calls her. The sista loves her kingdom. For her, it is not a simple kingdom, but she sees it as a small world, when she enjoys strolling between theirs attractive towns, and crossing the colorful roads.
The most time, the sista enjoys watching - from the window of his royal room - the bro’s garden. It seems that she likes the flowers.
One day, while the bro was working in his private garden, the sista called him: “hey you, you know, you have a wonderful garden, a fantastic flowers, I like the way you take care of them, you do like professionals ... I am sure, in the future you will be a big gardener”.
The bro couldn’t believe what he was hearing from the Queen. It was a big honor for him to hear such nice words from her. Than the bro respond “thanks’ my queen, it’s a big pleasure to hear that from your majesty, that will keep me working more , you know I do this not only to be a gardener but also because I enjoy collecting flowers. I love looking at them. Each one of the flowers has its own color and smell. They help me to find my emotional balance. Flowers allow us to reconnect with our strengths and qualities, to recognize our abilities and gifts, to have confidence and inner peace. They allow everyone to be the best of himself.”
The sista looks impressed with what the bro was saying. Now, she understood the value of his secret garden. It seems that there is a secret behind her kingdom. The sista adds excitedly “I think we smell flowers in the same way ... The kingdom you see now were built with the bricks of my dreams. Nothing can destroy it. If bricks disappear, the dreams will remain. I take a walk when I feel lost. I can see my way inside their roads. If you want, I’ll give you keys to take a look. Maybe one day we add the garden to the kingdom, we unify our strengths, and we take a walk together inside.” She throws her keys from the window. The bro was the first person trusted by the sista to access to her kingdom.
After finishing his work, the bro decides to go for a walk inside. He was so impressed by discovering her world. It was simple and marvelous, full of love and hope, innocence everywhere. The walls share the words of faith and courage. There you find cute cats, white rabbits and birds. All the beauty that life can afford to human being. The bro took site behind the royal room and enjoy the sunset. He was thinking about the moment to join his garden to the sista kingdom.
The next day was the first of spring. Everyone waited a sunny day with a golden rays, but as they said “often winds comes against what the ships wish’ “. A lightning strikes the area. The whole garden was burned. The bro disappears in the ashes and the sista closed up the window. Like that the end was at the beginning.
