The Film

Walking through a hall where silence is all you can hear. No one is here except for me, all alone thinking of what will I see. In the middle of this hall is an object where you can store memories.

Slowly approaching it, making my mind if I should get it. Stopping in my tracks looking at the tape, wondering what kind of video is in it. Looking side to side, maybe the owner is near.

Picking it up, hiding it in my bag. Walking to the room where I was supposed to be. Entering a room where a television is located, approaching it and seating on the floor.

Turning on the television in front of me, static sound surrounded the room as I insert the tape into its player. Looking up at the screen waiting for it to show the film.

A movie in black and white started playing, a place where it is sunny, a guy and a girl walking side by side. Sparkles in their eyes as they look at each other's faces.

Focusing my eyes on the familiar man, my heart started to pound. His eyes have sparkles like the sky. His nose pointed like the end of a pencil. His lips, pink as a rose. His jawline, sharp as a knife.

His facial features make my heart flutter as butterflies fill my stomach. My eyes shifted to the girl. A girl that is very familiar and I see her very often.

Eyes widen as I realize who the girl is. Her name Riell, skin so white, lips so pink, her natural blush, a pointy nose, eyes that have a galaxy in them. I know her very well, but I don't know where she is or why do I see her very often.

The movie continues to play, revealing the passionate relationship the two have. As it gets longer the two became happier, like there is no one against them.

Wedding bells ring as the two get married, the love in their eyes never changed, like their love for each other. Their overwhelming love makes me feel like I'm there.

The screen focused on the face of the guy, making his facial features clearer than before. His handsomeness making me feel like I'm in love. In love with a man in this film that I'm watching.

The screen became black, making me wonder did it ended there. As I was about to check, the screen showed me a small and cozy house. A house that is somewhat familiar.

A couple having a picnic under a beautiful tree. The man is blindfolded as the girl gave him a stick-like figure. Slowly removing his blindfold, shock and joy evident on his face.

Looking back and forth to the gift and the girl, suddenly hugging her tight.

"Thank you Riell, thank you for making me a father"

Joy so evident, even I can feel it. Tears of joy coming down his cheek, as his wife looked at him. Seeing him cry made his wife cry. Feeling something wet coming down my cheek, tears?

"No, thank you Sebby, and happy birthday"

Tears of happiness went down my cheeks feeling the joy that they feel. Why am I like this? Like I'm attached to them, feeling what they feel, like its reality.

Once again the screen became black, as the next scene plays focused on the face of Sebby, tears running down his cheeks. Hearing and seeing him cry made me feel sad.

Reaching Sebby's face wanting to wipe his tears and making them stop. The reason behind those tears is losing a child that is growing. Hurt evident in his eyes sorrow is all you can feel.

All of a sudden his face disappeared, focusing on his wife who looks like losing her mind. The loss of their child triggered something in her head. Alone in their room, thoughts going through her mind.

Her eyes that were full of hurt and sorrow became blank, as a violent scene plays in her head. Hearing the door open as Sebby enters the room. Eyes focused on the scissors beside her, her hand making its way to them.

As Sebby approaches her with no clue of what his wife is thinking about. Feeling her husband's hand on her shoulders turning around with scissors in her hand. Suddenly shouting;

"It's because of you!"

My eyes widen as tears stream down my face. Looking at Riell stabbing her husband in the chest. Sebby falling to the ground as blood escapes his chest.

Realizing what she did, letting go of the scissors as she looked at her shaking hands. Knees weak, collapsing beside her husband's body, crying and hugging her knees.

Feeling a hand touch her's looking at her dying husband. His bloody hand holding her shaking hands made her look into his eyes.

Love is only what you can see in the eyes of her dying husband. Collecting his last strength he said;

"I forgive you, and I love you always"

Slowly closing his beautiful eyes, life escaping his body. Riell staring blankly at the lifeless body of the man she loved and killed.

Crying hard, I hugged my knees and buried my face in them, rocking myself trying to calm down. The screen turned off as the film ended. Hearing the door behind me open as hands touch my shoulders.

"Is there a problem Riell?"

Looking up to a beautiful woman wearing scrubs with tears in my eyes.

"Riell killed Sebby, Riell killed Sebby"

Repeatedly saying what I saw while pointing to the television. She looked at me concerned before breathing deeply.

"You remembered your past. Forgive yourself Riell, I know your husband forgives you"
