There was a little girl named Alice, she was ugly, good for nothing and orphaned girl. She thought of hanging herself tomorrow morning. Nobody wants her, so why should she even stay in this meaningless world?
Alice prepared the rope, and the chair in her favorite spot of the orphanage, the mango tree. She was always alone cause the other children doesn't like to play with her and the only friend she had just got adopted and had her own family days ago, so she's all alone now again.
She sometimes sat on a chair under that tree and stare at the sky all day. So nobody even noticed that something was amiss with that chair she left today. Everyone, especially the teachers thought that she was crazy but being alone, wouldn't you be amazed also with seeing the clouds move as time goes by?..
Alice just finished preparing her goodbye letter. Funny though, cause she doesn't even think that someone will shed a tear at her funeral. She wiped the tears that are about to fall to her cheeks as she hid the letter under her pillow and drifted to sleep.
Suddenly, she felt someone, kind of like 3 people jumping on her bed...She was quickly awoken when a kid shouted "MOMMY! WAKE UP!"...Alice opened her eyes and saw little kids smiling at her as they shouted, "DADDY!, MOMMY IS AWAKE!"...
She got up and ran towards the door, looking for an exit..her thoughts keep on wandering off about her being abducted...but the kids we're like a tail, each of them we're following her as she go around the 2nd floor of the house...she found the bathroom and locked herself inside.
Not even trying to look back when one of the kids shouted, "M-MOLLY W-WIT UP"...she was the youngest of the three...Alice paced back and forth but when she looked at the mirror... Her face was different, she was now tall and had grown her body... She thought if this was the future her...
She finally decided to open the door, and the three kids was just staring at her with twinkle in their cute little eyes and with their widest smile...they once called her, "MOMMY!"...She heard a man's voice downstairs so she quickly held the kids in her arms and keeping them behind her as they go down the stairs.
Alice was getting nervous, just thinking of who could the man be...She came across the kitchen and there she saw a man cooking breakfast..he turned around, smiled and said, "Hon, you're awake!..come eat breakfast"...She was frozen in her spot speechless...she didn't know the man's name until the kids called him "daddy"...there she realized the whole situation...
They ate breakfast, but Alice was just staring at them. The interaction of the kids and their dad, especially the gentle and pure laughs of the kids was so fulfilling..She finally decided to join in the conversation and even joked with each other....This was the 1st time she felt so happy and contented with her life.
They even played and went shopping but when the day ended, she eventually woke up from reality. The sun was shining brightly, unlike any other day, this time she was energized and cause she had already forgotten about her thoughts of suicide. Instead, she played her dream in her mind again and again, it inspired her to keep moving forward.
Years later, the girl was never adopted but when she was old enough. She left the orphanage and looked for a job. She had applied for one, and there she met the guy in her dream...She finally saw him again, their feelings developed as time passed by.
(thats for another story to be told)
And then, she finally achieved the dream, she had always wanted...THE END
Moral Lesson: Don't give up yet..cause you still don't know what your future has for you😉
