This is a short movie script written by me somewhere last year.
I just wanna post it up here as a token of memory towards myself, nothing else.
As I sat alone, in the dark cold corner of my room.....listening to Satie Gymnopedie #2, my heart sank to the floor following the mood of the song. Hence, my hand starts typing on this old laptop keyboard, punching letters that are actually emotions, searching for some truth, hidden between those melodies I call love.

WHITE SATIE
Scene 1. By the river. Ext. Day
Description – A young lady in white, holding a basket of carnations.
Slowly, throwing away one by one of the carnation into the river.

As she watched the flowers slowly drift away, tears start falling down her cheek.
Flashback: A young man with his face blurred, walking towards Elaira who sat by the river, crying.
Dennis
“It’s not good to cry alone. The least you could do is let me be your shoulder.”
Flashback end: back to Elaira.
Elaira (V.O.)
“I shall burn the memories that we had bit by bit. This way, I’ll no longer miss you. You are who you are, I am who I am. We’re separated by fate. I cry for you whom I promised I shouldn’t, I beg for your love which was silly of me when I know you can never be mine.”

Flashback: A figure of Dennis pushing Elaira by the swing.
Dennis
“Elaira, who would you come running to when you’re sad?”
Elaira
“I’ll come to this swing. It makes me happy.”
Dennis
“What about me?”

Scene 6. Outside the church. Ext. Day

“It’s sad when a man as young as him died at an early age. He was supposed to get married by end of this year. Poor Carmine. She must be devastated.”

“Here. All in white. Your tuxedo, the piano, carnations. Playing Satie Gymnopedie 2# for me.”
Dennis
“Elaira dear, do you love me?”
Elaira
“More than you know.”
Dennis
“What if I’m no longer around?”
Elaira
“You’ll always be. Here, in my heart.”
Dennis
“Elaira darling, would you die for me?”
Elaira
“I would if you would.”
Flashback end:
Elaira (V.O.)
“It’s amazing how you manage to keep your promises. I used to think that you can never hurt me. I guess I was wrong. People are not as perfect after all.”
Scene 8. In the church. Int. Day

“I would like to thank everyone who is here today. My fiancé, Dennis would be glad to know that his friends still loves him. As much as I do.”
Elaira walked towards the coffin, smiling. She placed the bouquet of white carnations on top of Dennis’s chest.
Elaira (V.O.)
“You never said you love me. All you did was stab me right through my heart. It’s sad to see you lying down like this, while I’m standing here watching your cold pale skin which used to be warm with affections. Can you talk to me? Laugh for me? Cry for me? Your Satie Gymnopedie 2# is waiting by that white piano. I’m waiting.”
Elaira walking down the aisle towards the door.
Scene 9. On the grass by the river. Ext. Day
Elaira (V.O.)
“No one told me it was going to be this hard. No one told me that this would hurt badly. No one told me that this was the end. I’ve crumbled. I’ve come this far for you and yet you’re leaving me. I would have never thought it would end this fast. The fact that I buried you in my heart for the past 2 years kills me. More than it kills you. The pain is more than a wounded finger or a broken glass. My life just shattered. My dreams died. All because of you.”
Flashback:
Dennis
“Elaira sweetheart, what if I fell in love with you?”
Elaira
“You never will.”
