Love in Seven Days

The warm and friendly smile of the waiters and barista lured me into the countryside café. The Blues genre songs being played blended into the ambience nicely. A freshly brewed cappuccino was served right in front of me. The smoke glazed up the whitish foam lazily and sprinkles of cinnamon powder enhanced the visual and taste effect

A sip of cappuccino was well enough to peak me up as I as changed my seat to the outdoor area. The piercing sunlight hit upon my face, lifting my spirits up. I took the laptop out from my briefcase. The idea for my next story came.

I switched on my laptop and started drafting. The storyline roamed my mind as I allowed my fingers to the work. Just as I’ve finished the draft, a girl came dashing past my table, knocking my cappuccino over and spilled all over my laptop.

As I lifted up my head to see what on earth was going on, I saw the girl running away while 2 black suit guys chasing after her but I did not take it to mind as I cleaned my laptop with the towel given from the café and left for home.

As I walked into the cross junction, there is this beautiful lake with slow waters flowing down stream on the right of the path way. As I was about to take a photo of it, the girl came knocking into me again. This time I managed to see how she looks like. She was in her young 20s, looking gorgeous. Just as I was about to ask her for her name, the black suit guys appeared again and after a short apology from her she started running again.

Fearing that things might go out of hand, I decided to catch up upon them to see what was going on. I followed them and saw them turning into an alley. As it was a dead end at the front, she was trapped and as the two black suits guys are approaching her I shouted out at them. Looking at me moving up closer and closer to them with my mobile on hand, they dashed out of the alley like a gush of wind.

The girl seems shocked as she stood there looking at the shadows of the black suit guys disappearing into the sunlight. “Hey Miss are you alright?” I asked her as I passed her my handkerchief to wipe her tears. She thanked me as she took the handkerchief from me. Out of nowhere I heard someone’s stomach grumbling. “Oh, guess you breakfast are digested after the chase right?” I commented jokingly. She nods her head humbly as I invited her to lunch.

After setting down at the corner seat of an Italian restaurant, I order 2 set lunches in exchanged for a dubious glance from the waitress. “The service here are not that professional.” I commented. “Maybe she didn’t mean it or she saw something that she are not suppose to see.” she replied jokingly, trying to calm me down.

The lunch was a rather enjoyable moment for the both of us as we chatted happily. It seems that I really enjoy the time spent with her. “Oh what was your name?” I asked her as I called for the bill. “My name is Serene. Nice to meet you and thank you for lunch, you are good guy.” She thanked me as we get out of the restaurant. “Guess we will part here. May we meet again, my name is Kay” I bid her goodbye as we walked our separate ways.

Her smile and humble expressions remained in my mind since we parted. I looked at my watch and I was four in the afternoon. I decided to shop for some groceries before heading home for a rest.

Carrying to heavy bags of daily necessities, I strolled home. Just as I passed the garden that was in front of my apartment, I saw Serene sitting at one of the bench. I walked towards her to find her leg bleeding. I helped her up to my apartment and bandaged her leg up for her.

“Hey, I am done with it.” I rose up my head as I finish bandaging her leg but to find that she has fallen asleep. “She must be tired out after the chase today.” I told myself. Leaving her to sleep on the sofa I proceed to pack my stuffs and carry on my script writing before I proceeded to cook for dinner.

“Hey the dinner was ready.” I patted on her shoulder waking her up. “Oh, I am so sorry, I fell asleep without realizing.” she apologized as she rubs her eyes. She joined for dinner shortly after washing up and commented that I have good culinary skills.

I asked her to stay back for some wine and chat and she agreed to it. “Hey Serene are you a local?” I popped up this question as I poured for her the second glass of wine. “I am from a far away land, a place I think you never heard before.” she replied. We carried on drinking as we chatted happily.

It was close to midnight and we finished a bottle of wine. I am getting tipsy as I could felt my face was sort of burning and I failed to walk straight as I carried on clearing away the stuffs.

After clearing up the mess I sat down beside her, eyes half closed but I was still rather awake. “Hey Serene, you are gorgeous I think I have fallen for you. Its love at first sight I guess.” I expressed out to her trying to use my tipsiness as an excuse. “Kay, what is love?” she stunned me this question.

“To me, I felt that loving some one means giving her protection, love care and concern, like what I am doing right now.” I explained to her. “You are a nice guy Kay. I think I felt the same too.” My head fell to her shoulder and when I opened up my eyes it was already morning.

The sizzling sound by the interaction of oil and hot pan with sunny side ups could be heard as I walked into the kitchen seeing Serene preparing breakfast. “Let’s go walk around the area of interest after breakfast. There are a lot of beautiful places here.” I suggested. She nodded her head with the most attractive smile I had ever seen.

After the breakfast, we changed and set off to the different places of interest, taking photos and I did some drawing of her and the scenery. It took us three days to finish touring the town’s places of interest and returned home lying flat on the bed as soon as we stepped into the house.

“How are you feeling? Is it enjoyable?” I asked Serene as she lay in my arms on the bed. “Yes, I would never forget these few days, the time was spent with you.” She replied as she gives a peak on my cheek. “I am sorry Serene, the next few days I will be busy working on my script, the deadline is drawing near so I would not have that much time to accompany you.” I told Serene. She assured that she was alright with it and that I should prioritize my work first.

The next two days I stayed at home and focus on the script while Serene became a part time maid of mine, fixing dinner and ensure that my house was neat and tidy. “Yes, I have finally completed the script!” I exclaimed, walking up to my part time maid hugging her from behind and gave her a long kiss as she was preparing the dinner of the day. “Tomorrow we will go out and have fun. Thank you for staying with me this two days.” I thanked her.

The next day, we went out for breakfast before we went around the town for some shopping and when it is close to the evening, I brought her to Alfred Bridge, the famous bridge of the town. “There was this saying when a couple is standing on this bridge when the clocks strikes ten and toss a coin each into the river while it touches the surface on the same time, they will be happily together till old.”

We closed our eyes and tossed the coin into the river as soon as the clock strikes ten. The coin touches the surface at the same time before sinking into the bottom of the river. “Well, hope that the myth of this Alfred Bridge comes true.” She whispered as we walked away from the bridge. I held her hands and said “Yes, it will come true.”

We headed to the nearby supermarket to shop for some groceries before we proceeded home for dinner. “Let’s have steak for dinner and wine after that.” I exclaimed as I prepared the ingredients needed for the dish. Serene switched off the lights and lighted some candles on the dining table as I brought out the dishes.

I opened up a bottle of wine and pour a glass for Serene. The romantic ambience brought up by the candle light dinner continues as we chatted happily while she stayed in my arms. “Kay, I am really happy with you, even if it lasted only for seven days it will be always intact in my mind.” She whispered into my ears. “Seven days?” I exclaimed. “We will be together forever right, the coin tossing says everything.” I continued.

She gets out of my arms and she pushed me down lying onto the sofa before crawling towards me and kissed me in my lips. Her lips were tender as we started kiss more aggressively. She started to unbutton my shirt and took them off before she let the strip of her dress slip off her shoulder. She moves slowly her hands up and down of my body before hitting the lights out.

The next morning I woke up to find that the other side of the bed was empty. “Hey dear, what breakfast are we having today?” I shouted as I walked out of my room towards the kitchen but Serene was no where to be seen. There was a letter on the dining table and I took and read it.

“Kay, I am sorry. I got to go. It seems like the myth of Alfred Bridge aren’t true. My time is up. I am really glad to have got to know you. These seven days are the happiest moments of my life. Do not come and look for me.”

I dropped the letter and I grabbed a shirt before running out of my apartment to search for Serene. Searching from places to places, the Italian restaurant, supermarket and some of the places of interest I brought her to but to no avail. Holding onto the last glimpse of hope I ran to Alfred Bridge as fast as possible and true enough she was there but the two black suit guys were there too holding onto her.

“Let go of her! What do you guys want!” I exclaimed “It is none of your business, both of you are from two different world.” one of the guy replied. “What do you mean?” just after I finish talking they carried her up and threw her down the river. “If you really love her, jump down and save her.” the guys commented and without a second thought I jumped into the river.

Darkness surrounded me as I couldn’t move. Just as I am wondering if I am died or not, I spotted a glimpse of light somewhere and I walked towards it. Suddenly, there was someone talking “It seems that you have proven your love for Serene for jumping down the river without second thought.”

When I turned around, I saw Serene in a white dress running towards me and gave me a hug. “Walk towards the light alone and you will return back to reality, if you turn your head back, Serene will be gone forever.” the mysterious voice spoke again. I turned around and walked towards the light as told. It was getting brighter and brighter as I walk forward. “Why is this thing happening? Am I dreaming and who is the mysterious person speaking, is he speaking the truth?” I asked myself and I continued forward.

It seems like all these was rather ridiculous, I turned my head around and the next thing I knew was that I was being sucked back into the lights. The sunlight was piercing into my eyes as I opened up my eyes. I was surrounded by curious pedestrians. “You are lucky that I drag you up from the river on time, what the hell are you thing?” the guy who save me questioned.

I turned around but neither Serene nor the black suit guys could be seen around. I got up and continued searching for her. I reached home at midnight and couldn’t manage to find Serene. It seems that all those ridiculous scenes were real, if I didn’t turned my head, Serene will be with me. I was angry with myself that I smashed the mirror in my room into shattered pieces. My fist was gushing with blood but it doesn’t hurt me at all. I soaked in the bathtub till the very next morning.

My mobile rang and I picked it up, it was Mr. Fred, asking me to hand him the written script. I rushed out another script describing on the things that happened to me within these seven days and I met him out to hand him over the script.

“Love in 7 days, the concept of the storyline is mysterious yet beautiful. I fork out the capital for this movie.” Mr. Fred was full of praises after reading the script. I was excited as it was the first time I am to film and direct a movie but on the other hand sad as it reminds me of Serene.

The movie took a year to complete and it was a box office hit internationally. The movie was nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay while I myself was nominated for Best Director.

“Now it’s the time for giving out the award for Best Director for the 83rd Academy Awards and the winner is… Kay, the director of Love in Seven Days!” The host of the Oscar award exclaimed and I was stunned by the result. I walked up the stage for my second award of the day after winning Best Original Screenplay. “I would like to thank Serene for giving me the inspiration for this script and movie although you are not around, I love you.” I gave the speech with tears hiding behind the eye lid and walked back down to my seat.

It was one of the happiest moments of my life and it opened up my life. I started to director movies while continued to script write. A year has passed and I walked back to the Alfred Bridge with Serene in mind. Standing right at the spot where we stood and threw the coin. Images of the past are drawn back into my mind.

Although it was just a short seven but the memories intact in my mind couldn’t be calculated by the time. “Hey Mr. do you know there was this saying that when a couple is standing at this bridge when the clocks strikes ten and toss a coin each into the river while it touches the surface on the same time, they will be happily together till old?” a familiar voice questions as I was in deep thoughts about Serene and when I opened up my eyes, a girl which looks exactly alike Serene was there.
