true story for movie project

| | |

I had written a movie script. It is about a true-to-life story of a smart Probensiyana from Mindanao.

Marlie had a handsome boyfriend in High School whom he loved most.He was her first love. The guy broke her heart when he was having an affair with their schoolmate. She wrote an 8-page letter to him saying,"If you choose me, then you must leave her and stay with me, but if you will choose her, just leave me alone for I don't want rival. He asked forgiveness and promised not to do it again. Time come that they needed to enter into college. They attended at separate schools and seldom met. He come back to his ex-lover.

After having turn-on and off relationship, she finally decided to break off with him. She concentrated more on her studies and even maintained her being a topnotcher in school. One day she felt pain when she heard that her ex-bf will go back to Malaysia for work due to being brokenhearted when his girlfriend married to another guy and also she did not mind of him anymore. A week before the guy went abroad, they met each other. He wanted that before he will depart, they will keep their relationship back. But Mary refused, saying "What is love without time", she did not want to become a martyr, to be faithful to him, hoping and expecting that her love will come back to her one day. He also asked her to go with him and even promised to provide her schooling. But the more she refused. She thought they were still too young to live together. Finally the guy asked her to meet him in the pier before his departure. She agreed but when the time has come, she did not found him. After many nights of crying, she promised not to be inlove again.

During her graduating year in college, she found a guy who felt crazy about her. They both loved each other. But time has also come that he got two girlfriends beside her, one was his neighbor and the other one was his sister's friend. The thing was so disgusting to her so she asked the guy to choose for she did not really want a rival. For her, it's better to be alone than to sadly think that her lover was having affairs with another women. The guy asked sorry and even promised not to do it again.

They finally finished their studies in college and even obtained a licence. The guy found a job but she haven't yet. She went anywhere but unfortunately, she did not found any job.

One day, she recieved a telegram from a company based in Manila asking her to come for possible employment. Even it was so painful to her, she left her beloved boyfriend and family to take an adventure in Manila. She reached the place for the first time. During the company interview, she was not accepted for the reason of being unexperienced and too much young to be an engineer. Disappointed but not hopeless, she continued to apply to other companies.

Though he got failures in getting a job, she still believe that God will answer her prayers. One day, she attended seminar in a book sales company where she was told to move to Bataan. She was the only girl sales trainee that's why her boss told her to stay in their home. Luckily, she was treated so well even they knew her not so well. She tried to sell books to some clients but she sold not even one. Inspite of that, she was still hoping for a better posterity.

One day, she visited a church and introduced herself as a Christian and searching for a civil engineering job elsewhere. A brother heard her talks and told her to try applying in Olongapo at a certain construction company since they were needing a person of her career at that time. Without doubt, she went to the place for the first time.
She could hardly believe when the Taiwanese interviewer asked her to work after three days. Tears dropped in her eyes. Imagine, how long was her journey and finally she got what she wanted: to find a job suitable in her career.

But that's not yet the ending, as a junior engineer, she faced too many trials and hardship. Carrying surveyor's instrument and doing the job alone was not easy. Dealing with Taiwanese heads and 100 Filipino workers were also overwhelming. Yet, inspite of all, she regarded them as a stepping stone. She wanted to learn more and more everyday. She had great determinations in all her undertakings.

When their company project was almost finished, her boss asked her to transfer in Manila for another ongoing project. Though it's contrary to her will, but she can't do nothing but to follow the will of the wind. Afterall, free boarding and lodging would be a great help for her daily maintenance.

In Manila, the more she faced more life's challenges. Too much work in the site, in the office and in the dormitory made her so exhausted everyday. Leaning to God was her only way to face all trials in her life.

Then she befriended a Taiwanese young guy who felt in love with her. He always kept following and watching her wherever she go. At first, she got mad at him. She was afraid that she'll gonna like him. Beside, she ever wanted to be abiding faithful to her boyfriend in Mindanao.

One day, she recieved a letter from her boyfriend honestly telling that he was dating with another girl, but she was still on his mind. "How could it be happened", she rebelled. Jealously, she responded to him telling that if he can do it, why can't she. And if it will be happened, he must never feel regret. She wrote it as just an expression of her rebellion but she did not think of doing it intentionally.

The Taiwanese guy would not stop wooing to her. Till she begun to like him for being so thoughtful and they too become lovers. Sometimes,her first boyfriend called on the telephone but she was always out in the dorm or somewhat busy in the construction site.

One early morning, her first boyfriend called her on the phone asking what was happening to her. He had noticed her sudden changes such as no calls, no letters, did she had already another boyfriend? She can't ever lie to him so she told him the whole truth. Tears almost damaged the phone when she frankly said that they will break their relations because there was already happened between her and the Taiwan guy which was not ought to be.

A day with no eating did not got her a stomachache but an 8-hour non-stop crying made her felt almost breathless. When her Taiwan boyfriend knew the reason why she cried the whole day, he advised her saying that if she really love her boyfriend in Mindanao, then she must go back to him. But if she will choose him, then she must stay in Manila. She deeply thought that if she will go back to her former boyfriend, some people might say that he was a brando Bandedo, accepting 2nd hand unit. And also how about if he will change in his treatment to her as time goes by, maybe mocking her or always reminding of her past, then their relationship would become bitter. Above all, she didn't want to experience again those hardship in seeking for another job. However, if she will choose her foreign lover, she would still be a fragrant flower to him since he was the first man to touch her. So she decided to stay in Manila.

Months passed, she become pragnant. She consulted her new boyfriend about it but the later asked her to abort it because he said they were not yet ready for a life of a married persons. "No", she disagreed. She can't kill an innocent person, she has much fear in God. No matter what happened, she will let the baby born. So she frankly told him saying,"If you don't want this baby, you just say to everyone that you are not the father of him. But once the baby will be born, we will go to a far place where you can't see us forever". Her boyfriend bore his conscience and finally promised to marry her.

As a married woman, she was obliged to stop working and take care of her kid at home. It was the hardest sort of adjustment in her life but she must accept it. Her dreams in life were all vanished in just one glimpse.

Her husband has been so careless with money, spending there and everywhere. She can't do nothing but to pray for his change. When they moved to Taiwan with their baby, the more problem she encountered. But then, she finally won her husband to Christ after three years of much sacrifices and patience.

Now, they are living happily with their two kids. Her husband become so loving and caring for his family since he was already a devoted Christian. His parents and relatives were become Christians too. So the story ends up here.

There are many things happening in our lives that we can't almost figure it out, but God knows. Just like the story that I've just told you.

God bless.
