October 20 is a National Holiday?..

                  Me and two friends were on our way to the terminal, riding a bus. And upon reaching the terminal, I was shocked by a big sign posted on a tree saying, "OCTOBER 20 IS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY"; .I don't know if the ones with me notice the sign, but it really puzzled me. Roaming my eyes around, I was more amazed to see people of almost hundred in number and they were in pairs, sitting on benches. The place is filled with trees and the atmosphere was suited for lovers I guess. Its really shocking to see those things and incidence in a terminal,for what is commonly seen there are public vehicles. Upon clearing my sight, thinking that I'm hallucinating, I was deeply,deeply shocked by what Ive seen. Those in pairs were kissing, showing intimacy and as if they don't mind if someone is staring at them. Turning my back to see my friends reaction, I was again shocked to see that they were gone. And I started realizing that I'm the only one standing there, staring at those people. I was surrounded by them, I'm the only one standing at that very moment when everybody's busy doing their things on those benches. Then I looked at the sign again, and ask myself "Is October 20 really a holiday?". If yes,what is it all about?."

                Then my phone alarmed. Its already 5:20 AM and I might be late for school, so I immediately fixed myself. It was a dream,but what does it mean? October 20, what does it symbolize? I was left with hanging questions. And what I want now is to try figuring out the dream that puzzled me- the sign saying OCTOBER 20 IS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
