Bittersweet Symphony: the eternal harmony
"It was pure a masterpiece,
enticing, a beautiful tease."
"We are different," she murmured, her head on his chest.
"Yes, and I like it. A lot." they danced away in the fading
moonlight, she could feel his heartbeat and he could hear her soft, rhythmic
breaths.
Adelene was a simple twelve
year old, residing in a small town of South Africa. She wasn’t the kind who
belonged to a high school ‘clique’ or the one who’d be found setting her hair
before the class.
She‘s the one who lives the
life her way, in the football field. Not from an average well off family, her
father being a drunkard, no one taught her how to dream big, or live big.
Then she met Ashton Dawson.
The son of one of the
richest businessmen of the town, six years elder to her.
After a very shaky start to
their friendship, they gradually found solace in each other.
It was a different
friendship, totally exceptional. Which way will it head? Will the boat sail
smoothly or hit a rock and shatter along the shore?
Adelene is now a successful
entrepreneur.
She didn’t have a dream,
but she reflected that of others.
Famous for her charity work
and down to earth nature, her popularity was quickly hitting the headlines.
Everyday she would work,
smile and come back.
To a mansion she had
labelled as ‘home’.
But her heart resides in
those lush green forests of Franschoek, Africa.
She misses her old life,
her friends, her brother and most importantly, him.
Will she embark on a
journey, in order to find herself once again?
Or will she let the flow of
her fast city life engulf her and live the whole life swimming in a pool of
questions:
What
if I had looked for them? For…him? A tale
studded with emotions and music, revolving around two souls who are poles
apart, and still have one common link that makes them inseparable.
