Silk

This is like the first time I'm going to reveal my storyline for Silk (which is the theme for this year's CeMa). This is actually a script for the sad which I made - which was rejected. Actually, I just read it again tonight and I find it amazingly interesting.

Please ignore my grammar because I know, English is not my best subject!

I close my eyes.

A silk.

What does it mean?

He sends me the silk years ago and after 10 long years, I can never figure it out. What does it symbolize? Why did he give it to me?

Maybe my questions will be answered today. After 10 long years, I am finally going back home. It is not like I don’t want to go back, it’s just that, I’m scared.

I’m scared of the…

Truth,

The fact that I left them alone when they needed me the most.

After waiting for what seems eternity, the LRT finally arrives. She steps in the LRT and finally found the perfect place to sit.

Why did he give me the scarf? I remembered the day I went to the city to pursue my dreams. He ran after me despite the fact that he was wheezing due to his asthma, just to give me this silk and I don’t know why.

I closed my eyes again and figment of my memories appeared before my eyes.

He was cleaning his closet and found a golden silk.

“What is that daddy?” she asked him innocently trying to find an answer. “That is a silk scarf. Do you know that the silk worm takes approximately 72 hours to make one whole cocoon? I want you to be like that. I want you to work hard to achieve your goal,” he answered back while patting her head.

She smiled.

So that’s what he meant. He wants me to work hard to achieve my ambition. So he wants to remind me to work hard to achieve my dreams.

But that’s not all. I remembered that he said, “When you achieve your dreams just like the silk worm, I don’t want you to be the moth. Don’t ever forget the cocoon that transforms you into a beautiful butterfly.”

I could never understand what he meant. Until today. I just realized. What he meant is that when you are successful, you shouldn’t forget the important component to your success. Like in my case, the important component is him, himself.

When he gave me the silk scarf, he wants me to remember that I have to work hard to achieve my dreams but when I’m successful, I should never forget about him, about my family.

If only I realize this earlier. If only…

The LRT will stop at (insert place name) in 10 minutes. Passengers are reminded to be ready to leave the LRT.

I can make it right now. I can make it right to him now and tell him that I remembered. I am not like the moth. I remembered him and thankful to him for being there for me.

When the door opens, she ran back to her house. She was so eager to see her father. She wants to hug her father’s body and she wants to kiss his wrinkly old face.

“Welcome home,” she said as if she was expecting a warm welcome from her father. The only thing that welcomes her is the white cloth that covers the furniture.

It was too late. She is like the moth and her father is just like the silk. Plain to see but the most valuable thing in her life. After all he is the cocoon that make her into a beautiful butterfly. But it is too late.

The End

Much better than the love story, I have to say. Well, what is done is done. And I have to say that this is such a wonderful story made by me. I think I should stop praising myself. Okay! Stop Giuleta! Need to stop doing things like this.

Should do my homework now!

This is a very random post! But I don't care. Not like anyone is reading my blog!

Btw, just to tell everybody. I cut my hair and it's SO different. Don't be shock when school reopens!
