This story is based on the movie” Breakfast at Tiffany's". Before you read it, i just want to make sure when the sentences which are in '~~' it means that the phrase are from Holly (main character’s) dairy.
I hope you guys enjoy reading my story^^
It was a cold winter, when Holly has gone, Holly is with Paul more than ever and she will not be forgotten. The only thing that she has left in this world was her diary. The diary of her life and love story in New York.
'It is a paradise living in New York. I love New York and I absolutely love my apartment. The reason I chose this apartment was the fact that I can’t see the building of Tiffany's outside on my veranda. I love Tiffany's. I will do anything to buy in Tiffany's, even if I have to marry a wealthy man like Jose, I don't care if this marriage have no love because I don't believe love at all. All I need is money.'
Her dream was to marry a wealthy man, so she can buy anything she wants in Tiffany's. Her dream has almost come true except a wealthy man, Jose, hasn't proposed her yet.
'Someone knocked on the door in the early morning so I opened the door. An attractive man was standing outside and he said "hello, my name is Paul, I live down stairs, I am sorry to bother you but could I use the phone? And sorry to wake you up" and I said "sure, why not darling". And he came into my house and used phone. He said he is a writer and I guess he is not a rich writer. Well if he was wealthy I would definitely fall in love with him and marry him. In fact, it is true that he is more attractive than Jose. Than I realised I had a date with Jose.'
Holly totally forgotten about the date with Jose.
"Is this Thursday darling?" she asked
"I think so."
"Thursday! It can't be! It is too gruesome!"
"Well, uh...what is so gruesome about Thursday?"
"Nothing, except I never remember when it is coming up, Wednesdays I generally just don't go to bed because I have to be up to catch the 10:45am bus."
And she told Paul about Jose and how she is late for a date with Jose.
'One day Paul asked me for a dinner tonight, and of course I accepted, because we are friends and I tried not to fall in love with him because I don't believe it, but...I guess I couldn't stop feeling of love I think I am already into it.'
"I will tell you one thing, Paul, darling. I'd marry you for your money in a minute. Would you mary me for my money?
"In a minute." he said.
"I guess it is pretty lucky neither of us is rich, huh?:" she said
And suddenly he kissed her.
That night she couldn't sleep, she was so nervous about what happened that day.
Few days later she went to hospital, she was very sick. And she asked to repeat what doctor said to her. She couldn't believe that she had this incurable disease.
'It was a tragedy thing to hear that I have incurable disease, I felt regret about that I should marry with Jose earlier so I can buy anything in Tiffany's. And poor my friend Paul....'
"Moon river,
wider than a mile
I m crossing you in style someday
Oh dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you re going, I m going your way.
Two drifters, off to see the world.
There s such a lot of world to see.
We re after the same rainbow s end,
Waiting round the bend, My huckleberry friend,
Moon river and me."
Paul was listening to Holly singing a song sadly.
For few weeks Paul couldn't see Holly anywhere. He was worried about her. Actually he was ready to propose her.
'For few week i was in hopital, I told Jose about my incurable diseas and he said he is going to pay for treating...well there is no treatment for my illness except pain medication. I tried to avoid Paul, I know he loves me, I don't want to heart him so I decided to lie to him that I am going to marry Jose and leave New York.'
Holly invites Paul to her house for a dinner. And she started to talk about that she is going to leave here
"I am sorry darling, Im leaving here in a week with Jose, and I am going to marry him."
"Has he proposed you?"
"Oh, not yet but i thing he will...soon..."
"Holly, I love you .....you belong to me"
"No, people don't belong to people and nobody is going to put me in a cage"
"You know what is wrong with you, Holly? you are chicken. You got no guts. You are afraid to say, "ok, life is a fact". People do fall in love. People do belong to each other, because that is the only change anbody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing. You are terrified somebody is going to stick you in a cage. Well baby, you are already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it is not bounded by tulip, texas, or somaliland. It is wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end uprunning into yourself. Here. I have been carrying this thing aroun for months. I don't want it anymore."
It was a ring from Tiffany's
"darling If you love me....you will heart..I don't want you to heart"
"What do you mean?"
Holly decided to tell him the truth. There was no other way to avoid the fact.
"I am.....dying.....I have this disease....can't even cure...and no treatment.....yes I am afraid of dying and I am afraid...that I love you. I don't know how many days left until.....until...."
Than she couldn't say another word.
They were looking at each other for a long time.
"Holly, it doesn't really matter how many days are left for you and...us. It is matter that I love you and you love me."
"Paul...darling...yes I love you............"
"I am sure there is a miracle for you.
Their love and for Holly, unfortunately did not end in miracle.
She passed away in a cold winter day at 9:45am in Her house.
She left a message to Paul.
'Last breakfast at Tiffany's with you was a precious memory for me.
I was glad that there was special someone to spend the rest of your life with
Thank you and I love you.'

First off, your paragraph structure is good, makes it easier to read but could still use a bit of work in places, the over all story was an interesting take on breakfast at tiffany's, making it much more focused on the romantic aspect (as far i as i know, since i haven't seen the film).
ReplyDeleteIn terms of some of actually comprehending the sentences themselves though, was a bit hard in places,
"Is this Thursday darling?" she asked
"I think so."
"Thursday! It can't be! It is too gruesome!"
"Well, uh...what is so gruesome about Thursday?"
for instance, the word gruesome seems like a very unnatural word to use in this case. uh obviously english isn't your first language, so i won't go too much into detail with the grammar.
