A Emily Story | Short Stories
After the death of Emily’s mother, she is in a lot of trouble. She was very fond of her mother. Every moment without mother left a pain in her heart. Over the past few days Emily has been sitting in the park for hours looking at the beauty of nature and remembering the pain that stuck in her mind.
Even that day, Emily was sitting silently in some corner alone in the middle of the beautiful greenery. As the mischievous children come and go and indulge in their games, Emily remembers the stories her mother used to tell her when she was a child. Then she would have no other way to hide her tears.
Meanwhile, a short distance away, Ryan is walking while listening to music on his phone.
After taking a quick look at Emily, he stopped in front of her. He noticed the sadness in her gaze. Unexpectedly, one’s mind is visible to the other. He thought with interest: “Who is this girl? Sitting here with some pain…”
Ryan couldn’t wait and walked up to Emily to greet her. Hello, I’m Ryan. Are you okay?”
Although Emily didn’t have a good opinion of him, she recognized the sincerity in his eyes. “Yes, I’m Emily. Actually everything is fine… but a bit sad.”
Even if it was a short introduction, it felt like a strange introduction to Emily.
Ashley called Emily when she got home. “What Emily, where are you? I am afraid that your mood will become dull again.” Emily breathed a sigh of relief: “Really Ashley, just sitting in the park for a while as usual. Made a new acquaintance with a person.”
Ashley was a little surprised: “What? Nobody? How was he introduced?”
Emily hastily says: “His name is Ryan. Very funny, but really good at talking to me!” Don’t rush to get to know him now. But you need an emotional supporter. You don’t mind if you want to talk,” said Ashley.
These words gave Emily some courage. At the same time, the night is filled with memories of Emily’s time with her mother. After a long time since his mother’s death he had not felt this comfortable, now he felt some relief.
Over the next few days, Ryan grows closer to Emily. Seeing her sadness, he tries to bring some laughter to her. He is trying to ease her pain a little with practical humor and small jokes.
Recently, another important event happened to Emily. A letter appeared in the mother’s writings as given by her mother. Emily thinks about it over and over again. In the letter, “There is no power of others over your mind. There is a suggestion that you should always live your life as your mother. It seemed mysterious.
But Ryan is familiar with a man named Michael who is suddenly there. Who is Michael? His story is strange. Michael was once in love with a girl, but she died. Michael still carries the same pain in his heart. This upset Emily even more. But it is remarkable that Ryan does not show his pain as usual.
One evening, Michael, Ryan, and Emily meet at a small cafe. There Michael reveals his past. I loved Caroline very much. I met her when I was in Colorado. In those days when we both were very happy, she lost her life in an accident. Since then life has become hell for me.
Admitting that he is no more is tantamount to death. I still wait for her to write to me. I know it’s impossible, but I have a clay mind,” Michael said wistfully.
After listening to his words, Emily’s mind could not bear the desire to remember her mother again. “I think the memory of your beloved will always be alive for you,” she stammered and walked away.
Ryan tried to comfort Michael silently. Mysterious sentences were heard in Michael’s words. “Caroline is not who she is… my heart…” he said, linking two words together. Everyone understood that his agony would take many turns.
After leaving the cafe, Emily is left with many questions: “Ryan is so comfortable, but is there another meaning hidden in his eyes? He looks smitten to Michael. What is Michael’s real story?”
No one could sleep that night. Even Ryan can’t rest in his house. Because his parents divorced when he was young, he has a secret bloodline in his mind. He realizes that just as Emily’s mother has died, so has his life.
Meanwhile, in an old letter given by Emily’s mother, “Dad, you will see things you never expected. There is a saying that if you overcome them, you will get light in life. What is it, who takes the relationship? Is Emily getting closer to the mystery surrounding her mother?
Another morning, Ashley meets Emily and asks: “What is this? Who has anything to do with your mother’s words, Michael’s story, Ryan’s attitude? Have you looked for any reason yet?”
Emily smiled softly: “Really Ashley, I don’t have much clarity either. But one thing must be said: whenever I talk to Ryan, I feel a strange sense of courage. He seems to be taking the pain away from me.”
A little surprised, Ashley replied: “Then you should share this letter with him too. Would it be good to see what his expectations are?”
That evening, Ryan and Emily meet again in the park. Emily tells him about her mother’s letter. “There seems to be some mystery in this. I have only one doubt: Why did my mother say this?”
Ryan goes silent for a moment in emotion after hearing that. “You should have a clue. A mother already knows something. The story of that girl told by Michael is connected to the pain between us!”
That night a cold breeze comes into Emily’s room. Touching the mother’s photo, she said, “You have given me hope again. You have brought me back to life from the day I thought I should die,” she thinks with a heavy heart.
Meanwhile, she sent a message to Ryan: “Do you have time tomorrow? Let us also talk about your parents. “
Ryan agreed. Parents are a special emotion for both. Both of them are now in a position to gather their thoughts as they are each other’s companion.
When told about Ryan’s parents’ divorce, it is also revealed that his father is a relative of Michael’s. Michael wasn’t actually Ryan’s usual friend; A member of his father’s family. Ryan hid this matter for many days. But why did he hide it? When Michael tells him about his girlfriend, Ryan is upset from the start.
Now that Emily knows all that, she can’t tell Michael who her dead girlfriend is, but she realizes one thing: everyone is stuck with someone they’ve lost. Doubly so, Emily also misses her mother. The mother’s words in the letter seemed like life was on track again.
But finally, Emily remembered once again that the words in the letter were, “Life changes you, if you can endure, love wins.” The mother already knew that Emily was going to share her life with someone. Perhaps then she said: “No matter how many pains in the mind and in the secrets, you will know how to give wide freedom to love.”
That evening, Ryan goes with Emily to meet the mother statue. Both of them listened to their sorrows there. Emily burst into tears thinking of her mother. Ryan wiped away her tears and shared a sweet silence. This is the beginning of true love.
In fact the only memories Michael has are his true companions. But Caroline, who left him a beautiful memory, will not come back. But at the same time, both Ryan and Emily come forward to share each other’s pain. In this development, their love became clear once and for all.
Ryan understands the mystery of his parents’ divorce and Michael’s family relationships, keeping Emily close.
Meanwhile, one day in the park, Ryan silently proposed to Emily in thirty sentences. “Love is power, you have shown me that again,” he said, taking a place in her heart. This mystery seems to have ended, but in fact, another new life has begun.
All final journeys are nothing. Love has the power to remove the rest of the pain in the mind. Emily and Ryan turn to each other for lost connections and start a new life. No matter how many secrets we can’t hide in life, love remains stronger.
This story says, “Though there are many mysteries in love, true attachment is the one that comforts the mind.”
“Even a small attachment can turn a life around. Emily’s tribute to her mother, Michael’s painful story, Ryan’s hidden family secrets—all unite them under one universal truth: love is great. Love is great. As we have seen in this story, love transcends expectations and takes us forward. Hence, even in our daily life, a little love brings great sweetness.”
