This was my project in English on my senior year. I exerted a lot of effort to excrete my imagination. I spent almost whole two days for these. I even emptied a ballpen’s ink because of this for the sake of passing on the next day. Unfortunately, everything was worthless for it was uncollected (Our English teacher set the deadline early and maybe she forgot this hahaha).. I’ll just post this on my blog for safety reasons- I might lost the original write-up. I don’t force you to read this but if you’re interested, okay go.
CHAPTER 1
The town’s breath of wind caressed Nadine after ten years of setting herself in United States. She felt the loss of her motherland no more.
Nadine Carol Smith had been bounded by almost everything-allure, amity and affluence yet love seemed to be her far-reaching paragon. She never acquired the perfect attention of her parents she needed nor had contented relationships. She urged to engage Jason Rodriguez, a son of a family friend though her heart didn’t want so.
Together with her friends, Julie and Melissa, she went to the Redemptorist Church- the beholder of her past. She’d been there in her childhood time.
As she knelt on a pew, she eavesdropped to a melancholic piano music from afar. Her soul was casting around on where it came from as her heart was bewildered. She then caught a sight of a man. He who appeared in majesty, elegance and grace made the music she admired.
Melissa stood up and went where the man was, Nadine and Julia followed then. “Hey your music’s great!” Melissa said as the man stopped playing the piano. “I am Melissa Labra, can we be friends?”
She wondered why the man gave an innocent gasp at Nadine. “I’m James Marco Rodriguez, you can call me Jimmy”
Jimmy.. Jimmy.. Nadine’s heart trembled upon hearing that name
“Hey, these are my friends, Nadine and Julia” Melissa introduced as Jimmy and Nadine stared blankly at each other.
“Nice meeting you girls! I’m sorry and I still have an appointment. I need to go.” Jimmy said hurriedly as he stood up and closed the piano.
“Bye Jimmy!” Melissa responded but Nadine unstopped his gaze upon him.
CHAPTER 2
Nadine reminisced on a crystalline night and made a sudden flashback. She already knew that Jimmy is an icon of her past.
This is how the story goes…
Nineteen years ago, Nadine was diagnosed with dengue at an old hospital as so did Jimmy with an unknown disease. That’s how they met. They became playmates and the little boy accompanied her at a moment without the presence of her mother. They started a so-called puppy love however everything was just like a snap. When Nadine discharged upon her recovery, they parted and moved to United States with her family.
It’s amazing that destiny bought them together after such a long time. It seems it’s too late. She’s vowed to marry Jason.
Furious and irascible, Mrs. Smith moved towards Nadine’s room.
“Why didn’t you answer Jason’s calls?” she asked angrily
“Mom I never care about him” Nadine answered without any hesitation.
“Whether you like it or not, you have no right to break your engagement. Don’t bring a shame to our family.” Mrs. Smith exclaimed.
“Mom, it seemed you discomfit my life, you ruled it and…” she stopped as her mother gave her the strongest slap.
Mom, am I your daughter or drudge? You never loved me though as your child” Nadine cried and ran away..
