The Written Dream CHAPTER 1 My Precious Grandpa

Fiona Sharon

Grandpa always told me that laughter is the best medicine as he always want me to be as cheerful as the bright sun. Never show the sadness nor hide the happiness, he always gives the best for me.

Although I am lacked of parents love but my grandpa is the one always show his kindness and his love toward me. Maybe it is because of I am his only granddaughter. It already been 17 years that my parent just busy to chase the riches of the world and forgot about their daughter. I always comfort myself by saying that they do this for the bright future for me. I always kept in mind my grandpas words and just do my job as a student - study.

I always hope to live in a normal life which my parent always focus and care about me, my grandpa always give a nice advice and have a walk in the park. I also always dream to live in nice and beautiful house although it is small but the inner of the house is full of love and the breakfast table that full of noise but I still can feel the love and happiness as a family. What a wonderful dream! It is a dream come true to me if it really become a reality. It is something that hard to obtain with money.

But I know this will not happen. I already use in a luxury life. In despite of it, sometime I hope it will happen. There always something keeps bother in my mind and causes me to think a

lot of thing. Whenever I have trouble in solving a thing, the person I could only rely on is my grandpa.
Page | 3

To me, Grandpa was a kind and loving person. There always a smile on his face and such a smile that I could never forget. I always hope to bring happiness to him. Never will I show my happiness to other but just my grandpa. I never image my life without grandpa around until I was at the ages of 15.

Back then, grandpa was a picture of health. He never got any serious health problem but just a minor flu. This was the only disease he got until shock news arrived to me.

I still remember the moment when I and grandpa went to the theme park together. This was my very precious memory and such a memory I will never feel it again for now. It just a memory that I just can treasure and no one can take it from me. There, I had learnt to be strong and be determinate. Although there is a hardship in my life I need to accept it because it is already the fact that it was my destiny. I always keep this memory in my treasure box that located in my heart.

I was only 15 years old teenage who only had her grandpa in her life. I dont have any great friend or best friend but only had friends that were not sincere in their friendship. They just use me to satisfy their needs. I am not as nave as I am before, so do not underestimate me. When

the new theme park had built in my town, I always envy those who went there with their friends but me, I still happy as long as there was grandpa with me.
Page | 4

As me and my grandpa entered the theme park, the only word that passes my mind.

Wow. Amazing Marvellous!!!

My eyes was open very big as I saw a lot of game and entertainment in the theme park. It was totally a world of children as I went into it. There are a lot of Cosplay Characters. It was so amazing! When come to theme park, it was a must for games like roller coaster, marry-go-round, adventure land, underwater world, and also hunted house. It feels like one day was not enough.

Then I started to feel envy of something. It was something that I always want. It was something that I need and something that I dream of for a long time. I started to cry as I see grandpa face. I know that grandpa understand it but I just cannot control my feeling of this. Although I had struggled hard for my feeling did not turn out but I had been defeated by my own emotional that day. My emotional had betrayed myself. I had convinced myself to stay strong till the very end but all of it was useless. I had been defeated! The tears fall like waterfall and sobbed my face.

Grandpa...... where is mommy? Where is daddy? I want them now! I want to spent time with them like other children. I started to act like a lost child without their parent at their side. I

always know that my parent was too busy of life but I cannot control my true feeling when something I dream of appears in front of me. With the tears that fall from my eyes and had sobbed my face, there was nothing I want other than my parents love.
Page | 5

Nicole you are a big girl now. Stop act like a child. You always know that your parent is busy. Although I am seen mature from outside but actually I still a child from the inside. Grandpa pulls out his napkin from his pocket and wept off my tears.

Grandpa it is out of my control!!! I cried. If only mom and dad not busy, I think this trip in this theme park is one of the best memory. I never had an experience like the other child when I was small till now. Every child should at least have their parent at their side once a while. But me, I am thirst of parents love. I look down and I do not have the courage to look at my grandpa at all that time. I am sure grandpa was hurt by my nuisance and irrational word.

Wow!!! My little Nicole had grown up. I am really surprise with your word but remember you are not alone. You still had me here. So dont hate your parent for leaving you behind and not with you all the time. Remember they are still your parent. They are too busy to make a better future for you next time. Since it was a big company, it had a lot of works to do. So next time when you be the owner of it, it just a piece of cake for you to handle it next time. What you need to do is just study. Remember that. Grandpa wept my tear till my face does not

look like I had been cry and he also help me to make my heart feel please. His word is something that can make an uneasy person feels happy and great.
Page | 6

Nicole, I had told you to stay strong and not show your weakness out easily. If not, in the future many will step on you and think that you are so weak. So stand up and look forward with confident. In that way, nobody will know your weakness and it will be uneasy for them to defeat you. Remember that! his wise word was something that had always gave me a courage to against all people that look down on me and fight them back through my action but not by force. This is why grandpa was the one when I need help; he always gave and advises that not every consoler can give. So whenever someone ask me about the person I admire, I will answer them in a confident that grandpa was the person I admire the most and the one I respect a lot.

I am sorry grandpa for acting so childish. I will not cry on such a little thing like this again. I will always smile and shown my confident to the world so that grandpa will not worry about me anymore. Grandpa smiles at me as if there was something funny with my word but behind of that smile there is always a wing that spread and covers onto me. And his smile was so infection that it had spread to me and making to smile back.

This is my little Nicole the bright and cheerful girl. See when you smile, you always look pretty. Just smile, you had a smile that can melt each of every broken heart. Just stay that way till the very end. Grandpa is smiling back at me. I still remember that grandpa had said you Copyright 2012 The Written Dream Fiona Sharon

me that my smile was a medicine that had cure every of his disease until there is not even a serious disease had affect him at all.

This is one of the precise memories I had with my grandpa. The pictures in my precise album were there. It was a memory that no one can get from me. I still remember this picture I am holding. It was grandpa and me spending time in the theme park. I wept the duty album so that it is always clean as it was something that I will always remember it very clearly and felt it back again.

I look at grandpa picture that hang on the wall and said:

Grandpa I will always love you. I will always remember your advice and stay with it. I will try my best to feel happy and not shown my weakness nor sadness to other except you. Grandpa I know that you always look and me and care me from above. So I will try my best not to make you feel worry of me. Thank you for the memory.

As I close the album, I always said to grandpa the same word all over again.

Grandpa, I love you so much!

Fiona Sharon

Now, everything had change. Mom had tried her best to spend some time with me as well as dad! I am very happy. Just a little time with my parent on the table is enough for me as I can share some time with mom and dad in their busy schedule. All thanks to grandpa. He really knows what is right until the very end. He had arranged all perfectly as it had been plan for a very long time. I knew it! Just a little persevere can help me to get what I want.

Ding dong...... the doorbell rang. I guess who is at the door at this hour?

Miss Nicole, your guest had arrived. The maid told me as she enters the dining room.

I had a guest?? Whos that? I am wondering. I cannot just leave the dining table like this. It was a once in a life time that I had my parent with me sat on the table and had a friendly conversation.

She says that she is your classmate Victoria. Thats her name. the maid replies me.

Victoria?? What is she thinking until come to my house at this hour? I am totally confused with Victoria behaviour.

Nicole, how about you invite her for a breakfast with us. Mom and dad also want to know a friend of yours. It had long time that you had a friend. How about asking her for a drink with us? It wills losses my worry about you being alone in this world. You also cant let a guest Copyright 2012 The Written Dream Fiona Sharon

So I leave the dining table for a while and bring Victoria from the living room to the dining room.

Victoria. What you doing here at this hour?? It is too early. I told her.

Nicole!! You had forgotten about our promise? she asks me as she was smiling at me. She is such a cheerful girl as grandpa really like her to be around with me whenever he was busy with something with the old fork society club in the neighbourhood.

What Promise?? We had make a promise before?? I was confused with her question. I was wondering what is on her mind.

You had said that you really want to experience a time with friend at the theme park!! So yesterday, I told you that we are going to the theme park on Saturday. See I know that you will forget about this. Thats why I came early today to inform you. Victoria is always a positive minded person but a little of nave kind in her. Because of her cheerful and positive minded, I was happy to meet a friend like Victoria.

O sorry about that. I kind of forgot about our promise to hang out at the theme park today but the time we promise was 10am since the theme park open on 9am. Now is almost

7.30am. You already had your breakfast? I ask her for a breakfast with my parent since they want to know her.

Breakfast has breakfast with your parent?? You still breakfast now?? A~~!!! I am so sorry to interrupt your time with your parent. I already had breakfast at home just now. She replies me. I know that she totally feel sorry that she comes in the middle of my breakfast time.

Its okay. My parent wants to know you. How about having a cup of hot Milo to heat the coldness in your body? It cold outside since it is early in the morning. I reply her with a big smile.

She then follows me to the dining room. My parent were there drinking a cup of coffee while reading the news.

So this is the friend that spent time with you this whole time. Hello Victoria. I am Nicoles mom and this is her dad. Thank you to spent time with Nicole while we were totally busy. My mom told Victoria generously.

No need to thanks me. Its just that Nicole seemed lonely at school that I tried my best to make her feel better. She had help me back then when I was been bully cause of my nave personality. She replies my mom as if they were a friend before.

well since you were the closest friend and a best friend to Nicole, is there anyone fall in love with her at school or is Nicole had a boyfriend or anyone special before? my mom sudden ask a weird question that make me feel uncomfortable at all at that dining table.
Page | 11

Mom, why asking her that type of question??!!! You make me feel bushing and embarrassing now. I told my mom suddenly as it was totally a nuisance question to ask.

Well madam, Nicole was quite famous at school. There was quite a lot of boy wanted to be with Nicole but Nicole reject them with even thinking. Not even that. She told me that they are not her type. I guess her type is totally high standard one. After she answers my mom question, she laughs a lot and smile back to me.

Victoria, it is not I rejected them so sudden, is just they are totally look so useless. Mom, stop asking that type of question. I was totally bushing that time. I can feel the heat went out from my face.

It looks like Nicoles face had turned red. Well mom and dad need to go to work now. So I hope you two having fun. My parent stands up and left the table and went to work.

Victoria looks at me and smile.

Nicole your parent was great and funny. I can feel that you had a wonderful family. It totally not like what you told me before. She told me.

Well Victoria, it all thanks to grandpa that my parent starts to spent some time with me. To me just a little time like this had made me feel better. Before, they do not even have a time like this with me chit-chatting on this dining table. Before it was just my grandpa and me sit Page | 12 at this dining table or sometime I am totally alone and now I sit here with my parent. It totally a dream comes true to me. I told her.

Wow! Grandpa is really amazing person. Victoria looks at the picture of grandpa on the wall and smile at him.

I think I better get ready. You can stay at the living room for a while. I go dress up first. I told her and went to my room and get dress.

While in the room, I still remember the moment I had with grandpa and my parent and me on that table. It is totally something that I dream before. And now grandpa makes it a reality but what lacking was my grandpa at his sit. My tear fell from my face.

All a sudden I heard a sound passes my ear.

Nicole, I had told you to stay strong and not show your weakness out easily.

That is grandpa word. Hearing it make me try to stop my tear and back to my normal self. I think I better get ready cause Victoria was waiting for me in the living room.

Come Victoria. Ill drive us to the theme park! Hahaha I told her as I get down to the living room and put on an evil smile as a sign to show that I am a bad driver.
Page | 13

Wait. I think we should just take a taxi or something. I dont want to risk my life at this young age. She pleads me to stop doing my initial to drive us to the theme park.

Victoria, I am just kidding. How am I supposed to drive at this age? Its forbidden to drive when youre havent reach 18 years old in Malaysia. Come on, my driver will take us there. Its free and does not cost us any money on the way to the theme park. Im believed that Victoria was relieved knowing that I am not going to drive us.

Soon after that, we had arrived at the theme park.

Chapter 3 My Precious Experience and Gift

Page | 14

Now I know that having a best friend in my life is not just a waste of time. It was a wonderful experience I had in a friendship. Victoria had taught me how to express one emotional and also share some experience with a friend that I can trust. Having a friend can less our hardship. Sometime they can also lend some hand in our problem. I also had learn that friend share their happiness, sadness and also hardship together. Victoria was one of my admire person that I will not try to lost like I had lost my grandpa. She is my best friend and will always be my best friend forever.

Victoria was totally a kind of friend that will help me whenever I am in trouble. Now I believe one idiom about friendship that sounds a friend in need is a friend in deed.

When Im in the theme park with her, I am having fun in there. Now I know why people always bring their friends to theme park and having fun there. Victorias face was always bright until now. It seems like she really having fun.

Nicole, how about having an ice-cream whiles us having so break. I am kind of feeling tired now. She smiles at me and drag me to the ice-cream corner at the food lounge.

Having vanilla ice-cream with a chocolate topping was my favorite favour. It reminds me of grandpa again. It feels like everything I am experiencing feel like grandpa is around me. I really miss grandpa so much.
Page | 15

Nicole, are you okay? Why are you starring at the ice-cream like that? Victoria waves her hand in front of my face to check whether my soul is here.

O I am okay. It just I remind of something special. There are a lot of flash back happen just now. I take a bite of the ice-cream while answering her question just now.

I sure it is about your beloved grandpa. If not him, there is nothing you will think. She looks at me.

Well, you see, Victoria. Grandpa had made a promise with me here at this branch while we were eating ice-cream last time. Last promises that my grandpa has not have time to grant it. Something that I want for so long but not been granted because grandpa had gone to somewhere far from me. I told Victoria about it with an open heart. Friendship need to be open to each other so that they can understand and cheer you up. I am sure Victoria is happy as I had been so open to her about my life now. Friendship is all about trust, believe, share, and care. Because of that, I am believed that Victoria can keep my secret without reveal it to others.

Sorry for asking a personal question but I really want to know what was the last promise that your grandpa havent granted it for you. Who know I can replace grandpa to fulfill your promise? she smile at me. I sure she is so curious about the promise until she suddenly ask me that question.
Page | 16

Its not something special. It just that I want to live a long life with my dream had become a reality. Thats it. But it is something hard to do cause the dream I dream of is just something fairytale can do but not in our reality life. I told Victoria. I am sure she is a bit of confuse but I just let it like that as this dream of my never can be reality even I try to buy it with money or any effort that we human can do. It is a dream of a little immature child dream of.

I think it is something special until it is hard for you to explain it to me. Well, I am sure me myself can grant that promise eventhough I use a lot of effort to grant that dream of yours. Just let it go so that you can face your future without any worry. I am known that Victoria tries to cheer me up.

Although grandpa cant grant the promise but he had gave me the last gift and it is the final one he gave me. You see this necklace I wearing now. This is the last one he gave me. It is something nice and elegant for me as a girl. He want me to wore it and not keep it in my jewelry box. I show her the necklace.

Page | 17

Then suddenly I try to change the topic as I want to go back and play the game in the theme park.

Victoria, come it go play again. I am so tire of sitting here. I want to play as today was the only day we can play. Later tomorrow onward, we are going to start study again. Let us not waste this precious time. I smile at her as trying to pursue her to continue to play again.

Oh! Nicole. Talking about study, I had something I wanted to tell you. She bring along her beg as we went out the ice-cream corner.

Huh??!! What is it? I was wonder about it as I really want to know it.

It is that this Monday, we are going to have a new student in our class. My mother told me about it as that student had register at my mom office last Friday. She told me. Victorias mother is a principle at my school.
