Write a story ending with my heart bleeds and I cried Living in a serene village near the pristine sea was a real treasure for me as its tranquillity and refreshing atmosphere with a picturesque sea was a really perfect getaway whenever my head was on the verge with all of the schools works and pressures. Every day, my best friend, Razman and I would go to the sea to watch the sun sets as the invigorating coolness of the sea breeze caressed our skins. Ever since we were in the kindergartens, we had done the same thing. In the eye of the fishermen there, Razman and I are kindred spirits and our genuine camaraderie could never be separated by hooks or crooks. One day, I was feeling a little bit under the weather. My head was spinning and my body was soaking wet with perspirations. So, I decided to take a nap in order to recuperate my illness. Out of the blue, Razman came visiting me. He asked me to accompany him to the ice creams stall near the beach. I refused his tempting request almost instantly as my condition was not permissible. But, he kept begging me and his constant chatter was really irascible that I thought my head was going to explode. I tried to control my temper but I failed. I shouted at him, Just go there by your own self and stop annoying me! Razman remained speechless upon hearing my yells. Sorry, I did not mean to disturb you. I promised that I will not do it again in the future, Razman said slowly. I felt guilty watching him cycling away from my house with a crestfallen face. Nevertheless, about one metre from my house Razman turned his dimpled face to look at me and I was at sixes and sevens when he gave me an unexplainable gaze. He smiled at me and I tried to smile at him back but my lips did not cooperate well with my mind causing me to stand there poker faced. So, I just retreated into my bed room and decided to wait until I am hale and hearty enough before I went to meet Razman and asked for his forgiveness. Quickly, I swallowed down two paracetamols tablets before going to the bed. The clock was tinkling 11 a.m. by the time I dosed off into my own imaginary world of dream.
I could see Razman lying unconscious on the white bed. His face was pale and his legs had been amputated. I tiptoed towards him. Suddenly, when I am near enough he woke up. He grabbed my shirts collar and shouted in a coarse voice which was very unlikely him You must pay for what had happened to me! I gaped for air and tried to struggle away from him but for a sick person that had just been out of comma, Razman was strong enough. I was lack of oxygen. I blinked my eyes rapidly and suddenly I woke up from the dreadful dream. It was only a dream, I whispered to myself as my heart was racing. My head was no longer aching and I could feel my bodys temperature had been back to normal. So, I quickly took a bath and dressed to meet Razman. By the time I was on my bicycle, I could see people running and shouting. It was like something had chased them away from the beach. I heard the word Tsunami being pronounced loudly but I could not make any sense about its meaning. Then, I saw my mother. She was a hawker at a foods stall near the beach and she was running too. She recognized me at once, Run son! Run to the hill and saved your life! I stood rooted to the ground as my teachers words about what tsunami is echoed in my mind. I remembered Razman said he was going to the beach. I tried to search for his figure but he was not anywhere to be found. At the same time, my brothers were dragging me to the hill. My whole family was safe during that unexpected tragedy as we managed to climb the hill before the waves swept us. On the next day, the government had sent the Air Forces helicopter to bring us out to our momentary shelter. There, I went all nook and cranny to find Razman but my search had come to no end. Razmans mother was crying days and nights. His 5-year old sister was always asking me to bring back her Abang Man and tears were strolling down my cheeks upon seeing her as she resembled much of Razmans features. But, we did not have to wait long as three days after that, Razmans body returned without its life. My heart bleed and I cried.
Write a story begining with: I was standing alone in a dark place that i did not know where i was....... I was standing alone in a dark place that i did not know where i was. I was wondering and looking around to find out where i was and how did i get here.Then i saw a white beautiful glittering light that i had never seen before. I tried to make a first step walking towards the light. Unfortunately, the light disappeared from my sight. I could not see anything around me that how i wish the light would appear again. It made me frightened to be here alone and suddenly i was burst into tears. Without hesitation, i braved myself to find the way out through this darkness. I felt so low since i went solo. It was too cold and silent until i heard a crowd of screaming and yelling. I ran as fast as lightning towards the sounds and i was too worried that the sounds would disappear like the light had just now. Suddenly, i reached a place that the people around me were screaming at the top of their voices. I did not know what they were screaming for, but it was really loud that could deaf my ears. It was too weird as i was not in the darkness anymore and the place was absolutely different. The place was full with glittering and colourful lights which were too brightly lit. Then there was a big stage-people yelled and seemed they were too crazy about it. I thought it was a music performance because the people were mostly teenagers. Their screamed were getting louder when the music band appeared from the backstage. It was so terrible as i could not see the band as the people were raising their hands up! Then i tried so hard by jumping and moving closer to the stage. Only i knew what i felt when i saw One Direction Band was performing on the stage. I could not whisper even a word. I thought i had a heart attack when the singers were singing in front of me! No wonder the teenagers were yelling non-stop. Then One Direction asked their fans who wanted to sing with them on the stage. Everyone was raising their hands because it was such a great chance to sing with the five charming boys. I bet it was only me who did not raise hands up, as i was too scared and shy to be on the stage. Unexpectedly, the five boys were pointing at me. They ordered me to have a song with them on the stage. I heard the beat of my heart getting louder whenever everyone was looking at me. I kept shaking my head because i was too afraid to sing in front of others even to be on stage. Then, Zayn Malik holds my hand and took me on the stage. It was unprecedented. He was really thrilling me that my heart will fall about. My idol was holding my hand!. I was standing on the stage and holding a microphone with a trembled knee. Harry Styles said that i should act so cool like it was no big deal. The words uplifting me and build up my confidence. As we started to sing, i felt my pants got wet!. I had peeved off as i was very nervous. Everyone was laughing at me and unconsciously the tears streamed down my face. I really could not stand when i got ashamed. One Direction tried to bring back my spirit by shouting the words "Wake Up!" for three times. After then, i woke up from my dream and found out my mother was beside me. She was the one who shouted "Wake Up" and not One Direction. My bed also got wet as i utterly peeved off during sleep. Oh! i just had a dream that i was not sure it was a nice dream or a worst nightmare. Whatever it is, i was obviously excited to meet my favourite band even just in a dream. I knew for sure it would not come true.
Write a story ending with: I was so happy to see her again. One fine day while I was reading my favourite story book, all of sudden my beloved mother had asked me to buy her some sour plums. My mother was actually pregnant about six months. She had this sudden crave so she pleaded me to go to the hawkers stall which was quiet far away from my home. As usual, I took the short-cut which was lined with shady trees. It was a perfect choice for a hot blazing day like this. I felt a bit nervous when I walked along the narrow and deserted path but my guts feeling told me, my mums crave is more important than anything else. So nothing to scare me and I walked ahead. The atmosphere was tranquil and serene. Therefore, I whistled away as I gradually walked to uplift my flagging spirits. Suddenly, I heard a faint, feeble cry for help. The cry aroused my curiosity. I stood rooted to the ground. My heart was palpitating wildly and I could feel the adrenaline was rushing through my veins. Beads of cold sweat formed on my forehead and I tried to calm down. After a while, I decided to investigate and searched around. To my surprise, I saw an old woman with grey hair and her face was crisscrossed with wrinkles. She was lying in a deep, filthy and smelly drain. I guessed she must be a victim of hit and run. I panicked when I saw an ugly gash on her right leg. The wound was bleeding profusely and blood was gashing out like a fountain. I dragged her out of the drain using all the strength I had. Without wasting time, I administered first aid to stop the bleeding .I tore my sleeves and bandaged the wound up from bleeding. She was still in agony and I could hear she was muttering a few words. This old woman needed immediate medical attention. So I dashed to the main road with all my strength. When I reached at the main road I was totally exhausted. I quickly raised my hands and tried to stop the passing cars. But none of them were paying attention to me and just zoomed past me. I felt very frustrated with the selfish attitude of the drivers. As a last resort, I rushed to the middle of the road. I waved frantically to stop one incoming car. The driver applied the emergency brake and his car was screeched to a halt. He got out of his car and walked toward me with his anguish face. I knew I had to do this and explained to him about my predicament. He felt sympathy with the old woman and agreed to send her to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, the old woman was screaming in pain. I tried to console her that everything would be fine. Then I asked her any phone number that she could remember. She muttered a number which I could faintly hear then I borrowed the hand phone from the driver to call the number. Her grandson answered the call. He was aghast and shocked beyond words. He just could not believe each word that came out from my mouth. Soon we reached the hospital, the old woman was immediately rushed to the emergency room. I waited at entrance of the hospital. I was hoping the old womans grandson would show-off. I was lucky then when I noticed a young man who was walking briskly. I braved my heart and called him. Then I accompanied him to the emergency unit. He cried his heart out. The touching scene reduced me to tears too. A nurse walked in a told us that the old woman needed rest. So we adjourned to the canteen hospital. He thanked me for umpteen times. Meanwhile I remembered about the sour plum that my mother had craved for. It was quite late to walk back again to that narrow path so I gave a call to my mum and told her on what actually happened. Before I left the hospital, I quickly peeped at the emergency unit. I told myself that I had saved somebodys life and I was so happy to see her again.....
THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL As I walked into school that day, I felt a strange but exciting difference. Students were milling around the assembly area, waiting, anticipating for the day to end! Yes! It is the last day of school. We were going to have a special ceremony to acknowledge the students that had a 100% record of attendance. It was a day many had been looking forward to as their hard work and perseverance to attend school, through rain or shine, had finally paid off. Some students were simply here to say goodbye to their friends before they went their separate ways for the holidays. Others were anxiously waiting to start their first day of work at various shopping malls and the ever-present McDonalds and KFC. That meant extra pocket money as well as means to finally get their driving licenses. As for me, I would miss many of many friends and teachers. After all, I had spent eleven years of my life in school. Parting would not be easy. I enjoyed school and could not even imagine not seeing my teachers along the corridors or monkeying with my fellow classmates. There would no longer be any tests, exams, spot quizzes and assignments to complain about. Life would be relatively tame back home. This rite of passage of the last day of school is one that I was expecting since last year but to actually have to go through it was not easy at all. Mrs. Teh walked towards me. It would be harder for her, I know. She was retiring today. After 56 years of service, she was going to take things easy now. Her last child had flown the nest and her husband had passed away four years ago. She filled her life with the students around her. She would surely miss the chatter and laughter. She gazed sadly around her and I ran towards her to give her a hug. It seemed to tell her that we would always be around for her 5 Tekun and I. Soon, the bell would ring the last time for us. Then, the school corridors and walkways would empty out, waiting for two months before the next wave of students arrive for the new academic year. I walked out and turned back for the last time sweet memories
FORGIVEN I stood motionless and looked at the solid, dark brown wooden door. The house was painted white, and black on the wooden beams and window panes. It looked huge and expensive from the outside. I had to make my mind up whether to knock or press the bell. I turned to face the garden. I thought about going back to my car and drove home. Home. That was where I wanted to be; or was it where I would be after I knocked the door? I sighed and walked to the side where there was a wooden bench by the beautiful garden. I could see that the woman in the family loved the garden. The smell of white lilies reminded me of the florist down the road on Sixteenth Street. I sat on the sturdy looking wooden bench, trying to figure out what I would say if someone was to open the door. I wished I did not find out where she was so that I would not have three sleepless nights thinking of why she left me, whether she was looking for me or whether I should be angry. I was abandoned at Bliss Home when I was barely four. They said they found me playing joyfully in the playground, innocently thinking that I was sent to school. After three years, I found out that my mother left me at the orphanage because she had to go and find my father who left us when I was two. I was devastated, knowing that my mother left me to strangers. Funny, I thought, how manipulative and contradictory adults could be when it comes to giving advice. Those at Bliss Home took good care of me and made me realise that I was still lucky to be able to enjoy life. Sister Lisa was one of those who managed to make me see that I should make the most of myself than being miserable, grieving my unfortunate life; thinking nobody loved me. I stayed there till I was 12, when I was then transferred to Rouston Public School. Well, Sister Lisa thought it was a good school. Spurred by Sister Lisas determination to give me life, I did my best in Rouston and would go back to Bliss Home during semester breaks or Christmas to be part of the family. Well, I was not sure whether I knew the meaning of that word, but Sister Lisa convinced me that I was part of them when my presence was usually welcomed by freshly baked apple pie and mincemeat. Then we would all sit in our warm huge and rather aromatic dining hall. I could still smell Marthas mouth-watering Yorkshire pudding and roast beef in the kitchen whenever I visited Bliss Home.
It was 8 years ago when I started digging files and tailing endless documents to find out who my biological parents were. Blessed, I found where my mother lived but was reluctant to go and see her. I knew it would shake her down to her knees and she would beg forgiveness for leaving me; that she was young and naive; that she would not have managed looking after me on her own. Even worst, my presence would stop her heart; that she would collapse unconsciously, leaving me feeling guilty instead. Sister Lisa was the one who insisted. At the end of the year, I eventually gave in but forbade her from calling Mom to inform that I was coming; in case I changed my mind. She gladly agreed and even packed me cheese and tomato sandwiches for the journey. I was sceptical when she said that Mom would be waiting for me. If mom knew where I was, why didnt she come and find me? My thoughts were interrupted by a butterfly flying right in front of my nose. I looked back at the house to see if anyone noticed my presence. Silence. I glanced at my watch but I forgot what time I arrived, so I did not know how long I was there. I stood up and walked back to the sandy path leading to the house. I stopped at the wooden door again wishing it was an automatic door so I did not have to decide. Spotting a shadow by the window on my left, my heart pumped. Somebody was at the window and was walking towards the door. I found it very hard to swallow a big lump in my throat as my heart thumped against my chest. I thought that I was the one who would be unconscious. Hi, can I help you? asked the girl who was standing in front of me with a huge grin. I swallowed hard while admiring her curly blonde. Seeing that, I knew she must be Moms daughter. She looked 15, lean and has beautiful brown eyes. Pretty. Yess.. Ermm yeah.. I was looking for Mrs Collins. Hmm well, is this Mrs Collinss house by any chance? Ohh yeahh.. Hmm..Moms upstairs. And I think shes expecting you. Aunt Lisa told mom this morning. She smiled pleasantly holding the door. Despite the dazzling big smile, I could see the quizzical frowns on her forehead. I wondered whether it was because I frowned first. Obviously Sister Lisa must have had said something to Mom.
I waited. Looking for words, 1 folded my arms unintentionally and looked away at the lilies, biting my lower lips. I thought of saying that it was a big mistake and should just walk back to my car. After all, it had been 25 years since she left me. It would not change anything, would it? Owh well, you must be freezing. Please come in, shell be down in a minute. She opened the door and took my left hand, looked at me in the eyes as if to ask for permission and pulled me inside. As I dragged my feet down the hallway, I could see a family picture on the wall. Something stabbed me, right on my chest. Deep. I could feel the pain that I felt years ago when I found out I was left on my own, and was on the verge of tears. Again, I thought of walking back to the door but I brushed the thought away when I heard the footsteps. It happened so quickly, I was not sure whether I was actually there. My stomach tightened when I saw the hopeful look in her eyes. William, ohh its you. Ive been waiting for you for what..like..30 years? I knew you would find me. See, its in your nature. Being curious, that is. Well, as if it was my mistake that she had to wait so long. I thought I was supposed to wait for her to find me, or at least she should have gone to Bliss Home to find out. Silence. I could not say anything looking at her fragile face. I noticed that her daughter was standing by the small coffee table, looking out of the window expressionlessly, pretending we were not there. I looked at Mom pityingly and sighed. I was unsure of what to say. As if to wait for me to invite her in her own living room, she stood by the door and smiled awkwardly. Despite the quivered smile, I could still vaguely recognise those beautiful brown eyes when she smiled. Then, she looked down at her hands, which she clenched and unclenched nervously. I presumed that she was as uneasy as I was. After a moment, I cleared my throat and forced a weak smile. Seeing that, she ran towards me and hugged me. Sobbing. Tears welled in my eyes. I closed my eyes, afraid that anyone would see me, but I knew she was forgiven.
The story beginning with "I could not sleep throughout that night..." I could not sleep throughout that night. Not even a minute. It was just because I might miss the ships or boat that passed by the island. I was shivering in cold even it was just a gentle breeze. I thought to myself that things would have been different if I did not take part in that vacation. Never in my wildest dream that a spectacular vacation on a cruise ship at the beginning turned out to be a nightmarish affair. The day before was a joyous one. I embarked on a three-day vacation trip on a cruise ship. The vacation was amazing. The scenic view was splendid across the horizon of the sea as far as the eyes could see. The sea water was crystal clear and the sky was a magnificent azure. My blissful day did not stop there. The dusk thrilled me as I sat on a chair. The sky gave its golden appeal and the Sun looked like it was sinking into the sea as night began to unfold. Then, the golden yellow background of the sky changed to twinkling stars. I was staggered to see the view of the opulent God's magnum opus. As the night grew older, something totally different started to appear up to the sky. The sky was too dark. It darkens so much as the glimmering stars started to disappear. To my instinct, something bad would happen any time soon, but I just could not figure it out. I went into my room and soon dived into a deep slumber. 'RIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!!' "This is your captain speaking. Abandon the ship! This ship is about to sink!" The loud ringing sound really woke me up from my comfort bed and I was taken aback to hear the announcement. To my horror, the ship was in topsy-turvy. High jinks enshrouded the air. Then I realised, there was a storm happening outside. To my flummox, I dragged myself outside and saw people running higgledy-piggledy as they did not know what to do. As for me, the only thing I could remember is that a huge wave came crushing upon the ship and then everything seemed to darken.
Streaks steaks of light awaken me found out that I was on a beach. At last I thought that my misery had ended. But a little exploration did not bring much hope. There was no one there. So, being an optimistic person, I built up a settlement near the beach. I lay upon my leaves bedding. I wondered. Could I survive? Did my family know that I loved them? For how long did I have to wait? Out of the blue, an abrupt siren was heard from a far Swiftly, I arose from my leaves bedding and ran nearer to the beach. I shouted for my life while waving my hands up on the air. "Help! I'm here! On the island! Help! Help! I'm here!" Then, the siren became louder and louder. At the moment, I knew they had noticed me. Unexpected, tears of joy started to drop from my eyes. Before I even thought my life was over, now the door back to my life was widely opened. By the moment I stepped into the rescue boat, I know that it was the time for me to go home.
A ROAD ACCIDENTS Road accidents are reported in newspaper and on television every day. There are more frequently caused by reckless drivers rather than faulty vehicles. Last Saturday, while I was travelling from Ipoh, I witnessed a serious accident. The scene of the accidents was vivid in my mind. A motorcyclist was following behind was taxi very closely. He was so impatient that he was trying to overtake my taxi even near a sharp bend. At that critical moment, there was an oncoming car. The taxi driver swerved to the roadside and I got a terrible jolt. It was too late for the motorcyclist to avoid the car. His motorcycle ran against the bumper of the car and smashed its windscreen. The motorcyclist somersaulted over the car and was found lying in a pool of blood. It was a scene to chill the flesh! The car driver, who was cut by the flying glass, was in a state of shock. All that happened in split second and fear overwhelmed us. The taxi driver stopped his taxi and I quickly ran to the nearest to the nearest telephone booth to inform the police and the hospital. From a distance I could see some people trying to help the injured motorcyclist and the car driver. They carried them into one of the onlookers car and sent them to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile the taxi driver tried to control and directs the traffic. Soon the police arrived and they promptly took some measurements and evidence. After that they moved the damaged car and the motorcycle to the roadside to ease the traffic congestion. They also took down the evidence provided by witnesses and onlookers. Some sweepers were clearing the debris and the blood stains on the road. When the taxi finally continued the journey, I silently thanked God for my narrow escape. I learned a good lesson that impatience and recklessness would bring harm and danger. I was happy to see that Malaysians are public-spirited and they render help to others readily. Since then I remember and follow the saying more haste less speed and prevention is better than cure. I believe good road manners and roads safety campaigns can help to reduce the number of road accidents which cause injuries, loss and lives and properties.
Continuous Writing: LOVE / End a story with: ".... and so I became a better person." In everyone's life, there are different experiences; one of them is the first love. My first love was dazzling yet aching. Every time I go back to those memories, my eyes water and i feel like i could have done so much better. My story began five years ago, when I was only Form 1 in SMK Perimbun. I was inexperienced and naive, I thought that there was no heart break in this world. Nurul was my classmate that I had known since January 2009. At first, i did not really know her until one day i got her phone number and texted her. I realise we had 'chemistry' because whenever we discussed some topics, we always agreed with each other's ideas. We found a great combination between us. Day by day we became closer, like twins; we became best friends but nothing more, nothing that i wanted. Her life was mine, her thoughts were mine, she was my world and she did not even know. She was the prettiest and the quietest girl in class. A special thing about her was she had such perfect smile. When she smiled, her beautiful two-round eyes also smiled and were able to make other people as happy as Lark with her adorable smile. Whenever she stared at me, it made my heart skip a beat for i had never seen anything so breath taking. She was also kind and always made me feel glad every time she was with me. Life was not a bed of roses. A month later, before we could enjoy this friendship, our classmates started to suspect that we were too close. Very, very close. They started to misunderstand and talk about us. She was received the worst effect. She was so sad and up a gum tree with this inconvenient situation. This misunderstanding became critically serious. She made up her decision. Our relationship had to end especially when we were in school. She did not want people to gossip further about us. I knew it was hard for her to do that, but all I could do was accepted her decision. I accepted it because I wanted to save her from this encumbering problem. Day by day, Nurul started to change. She did not smile like before. She turned to be sad and went to pieces. Then i knew, i really had lost my old Nurul who always made me smile and laugh. I changed when her attitude changed. I became the quietest boy in class and always showed a fake smile to others. I pretended I was happy but the fact, i was not. Everyday i underwent this life without her smile. Before this, we always texted and called each other to talk about some random things. We shared everything and laughed like we did not have any problem. But now, everything had gone. Even though we still contacted one another, i did not feel her existence. Sometimes, i wanted to blame those who made this situation difficult and those who were unpleasant with my friendship. But, i could not do that. My body fell, i was on my knees. Praying. Since then, we barely talked to each other even we were classmates since Form 1 until we were in Form 5. 1 Adil, 2 Aktif, 3 Aktif, 4 Alfa and 5 Alfa. These were the name of our classes from Form 1 until Form 5, from we were a childish thirteen until we were a 'matured' seventeen. We only talked on our birthdays or when we really needed to and it was basically about school matters. There were no more random funny conversations that made us laugh out loud. No more. However, whenever i caught her staring at me in class, it still gave me the goosebumps. I tried to forget everything about her, but i just could not. As much as i wanted her to vanish from my life, she would not go, and every time i saw her , i fell for her even more. Once again becoming the boy that i once was. My love for her is like the waves in the sea, it comes and it goes. Her name is now carved in my soul for she is part of who i am now. She makes me upset but she also makes me laugh. She was my first love and as much as i want that part of my story to end, deep inside i know that it isn't over. However, i know that i have to accept everything that had happened. I'm blessed because my Lord put her in my life, ergo i would know how does heart break feels like. This also made me realised that i have to forget everything about love for a while, focused on my studies and try to makes some new friends without falling for them. I had accepted this situation and have done all of it. Let bygones be bygones, my effort pays off now. I was not longer in the sad mood all the time, i got a lot of friends and so I became a better person.
