Dollhouse Paper Essay
Love may be compared to a child’s dollhouse. Their dreams and aspirations in life start with the simple imaginations they build while playing with the said toy. From the way they perceive the entrance to be, to the little details of the house, these dreams begin with a little imagination that become a reality, as they grow older. I guess the little things are the ones that matter after all.            As a little girl, I have imagined a lot of things while playing with my toys. This is where I have built my perceptions about life, in general, and how it was to get married and have my own family. I imagined everything, down to the smallest detail, with a commercial model as my partner. Funny at first, but I never imagined that I would actually live to do the things that I have dreamed of as a young girl.            I grew up to become an architect with my bestfriend, Alex. Being friends since we were five years old, we overcomed heartaches and struggledto go on with life together. We knew very well the strengths and weaknesses of each other, making our friendship stronger as time passed by. We practically planned how our future will be when we have our own families. The funny thing there was, Alex never really had a girlfriend. My two relationships ended with me choosing to be with Alex rather than with them. Somehow, I could not imagine myself living a life without the bestfriend I have known for many years.            The time came when Alex was starting to change. Whenever his phone rang, he would immediately tell me that he has to go, and would not say where. I was beginning to feel jealous about the whole situation, for he was not around whenever I needed him to be. I was not used to this kind of treatment from him. I was deemed to find out what was happening. I followed him during one day, from his house to the bowling arena. I was surprised with what I sawâ€â€a pretty young blonde, who looked like me was hugging and laughing with my bestfriend. I was furious. I stormed towards them, and told shouted on the girl. They were both surprised with what I did, then Alex asked me why I did that. I couldn’t answer him, so I left.            Months have passed, and Alex and I were still not communicating. I was embarrassed with my actions, and decided not to take any of his calls. I felt desolated. I came to the realization that I was in love with my bestfriend for as long as I can remember. Now, it was too late for me to fix things with the love of my life. I tried calling him several times, but he never answered. Then one day, I got a call from Alex’ girlfriend, saying that they were involved in an accident. She knew how much I meant to Alex, so she said that she wanted me to be there beside him. I rushed to his aide, crying, regretting the things that I have said on the day we argued. I knew that I was in love with my bestfriend, but I had no way of fixing it. Alex has a girlfriend now, and nothing in the world could ever change it.            When Alex opened his eyes, his girlfriend was there beside him. I was uncomfortable. I knew that I was the one who should be seated beside him. I decided to stay outside, just in case he did not want to see me. I felt nervous. I did not know how to react when the time came that we had to see each other face to face. I did not want to lose him again, nor did I want to end our friendship. I decided to accept the fact that he could never be mine.            Soon after, his girlfriend followed me and told me that Alex was looking for me. I followed her and stood at his bedside. â€Å"Finally†, he said. I was confused with how he reacted. Then both the girl and Alex smiled. Then Alex said, â€Å"I am happy that you are here. Atleast now I know that I meant a lot to you.†Then the girl said, â€Å"Louise, I am not his girlfriend. I am his closest cousin, Sandy. Alex brought me to the bowling arena to play your favorite sport. He has told me a lot about you, and said how important you were in his life†. I admit, that I was really embarrassed with the situation that I was in. Then Louise opened the dresser and pulled out what seemed to be a  dollhouse. â€Å"This is something that I have reserved for you all theses years, Louise.†A two-story peach house with a wide garden, a patio, and a terrace on the second floor surprised me. It was the house that I imagined myself to have since I was seven. I felt tears accumulating in my eyes. Then Alex added, â€Å"this is the reason why I studied Architecture. When we were younger, I promised you that I will build your dream house. This is the design I built, Louise – my years of love all placed in this house.†           From then on, Alex and I were never separated. We know have two children and are living in my dreamhouse, which we have worked for. As for my dollhouse, it was placed in one part of our living room, that symbolized our love for each other.
