'La Città di Smeraldo' {the emerald city}, which takes place in a small town in Italy in the 16th century.
This heartbreaking story is about an 'ugly' man who has locked himself into an ancient castle to hide himself from the world because he had received a lot of cruelty while growing up. Therefore, he tried to hide from people . He wear mask to hide his shabby face from this world.
[HIS p.o.v]
In this lonely cruel world no one would like my shabby , ugly disgust face . I just like to grow flowers in my garden . They are now like part of me . I sit with them in beautiful fragnace of different varieties of flowers water them , take care of them, fertilize them...but what should i do no one will love my shabby face and i too hate my self...sometimes i feel like there is nothing in life but one day....
A girl had trespassed into the garden and stolen my violet flowers. I was angry so i watched the garden from the castle all night. Unfortunately, when I slept as i was awake whole night.
That girl came again and stole other flowers. Then after this happening for a few days, i decided to fake sleep and watch the girl steal the flower and catch her on the spot . But i felt like i was interested....and began waiting for her to steal a flower every night.
And after that day the most black, pale and saddest person changed a bit and started writing song on that girl.
this song that describes his life:
"Full of loneliness This garden is bloomed Full of thorns I hung myself in this sand castle What is your name Do you have a place to go Oh could you tell me? I saw you hidden in this garden And I know all of your warmth is true I want to hold your hand picking the blue flower It's my fate Don't smile on me, light on me Because I can't come to you There's no name you can call me You know that i can't Show you me, give you me I can't show you a run-down part of myself I wear a mask again and go to see you......"
Finally my song is done i will sing it for her, She is so beautiful that i can't stop thinking about her but i don't know why she steal flowers...
maybe due to my ugly face she can't ask and scare of....i am trying hard and i tried many times to ask but i can't just because of my face trapping my way i just hate my self...
One night she heard the stamp of my leg by mistake done by me (murmuring) "shit what the- ! what did i just did..! "....she scared and rushed in hurry taking flowers but her diary fell of her bag , And i was trying to call her sher watch me smiled in awkwardness and ran away i just stand idle for a minute how cute her smile was but....what if she was making fun of my ugly face... "oh! yeah i was wearing mast that is why she laughed.".. i said, all these happened and i forget to gave her diary but i was so curious to see what did she write in diary and know her thoughts, her passion, her likes, her dislikes...
This was until i followed her one day to the small town and found out that she was selling the flowers from his garden to earn her living. ohh !! i thought she just steal flowers for fun or just collecting them but no it turn out sad i didn't knew i think i should help her(thinking for sometime) what if i do something to help her...and confess my feelings at the same time....like give her more flowers or anything else whatever, but i was just happy that i am having courage a little bit and i am improving...
I thought to peek in her diary to get help about the woman but again something popped in my head *hey what are you doing don't you know your ugly face she wouldn't like you...just stay out of all these fairytale thoughts what if she is poor but everyone wants something charming loving not pale and ugly like you* actually this is second sight of me always stopping me to do something good , anyways.. and i was afraid again that she wouldn't like me because of my 'ugly' appearance. So i thought the only way i could help was to keep growing the flowers in his garden for her to steal and sell on. This happened till a month watching her secretly...
I first opened her diary and i saw smerlado flower.....and found her name is faith its so nice name and without thinking any thing i just run...in happiness i never had..turned some pages and it was written something i couldn't understand...it was like "end of world at 12 june" i was like what is this, i was trying to think about it....i saw the date it was 6 june....is something gonna happen bad or is this just for fun....(thinking deep)..oh i don't think this is something serious.What if she woukd be sad about something and wrote a bitter thought let's change her life on that day only!
i decided that i wanted to create a flower that didn't exist on the planet so that the she could sell it for an expensive price. The Smeraldo flower. As she love it and have it in her diary on first page itself . I was thinking that this mask is trapping my way as she laughed on me due to that stupid mask. And i was in super exitement and i broked my mask and then realized....oh no! what i just did.....now how am i going in front of her... i tried different things but i was not able to fix it.
I tried many times to fix my mask and to make the flower and after many tries, i finally created the Smeraldo flower and filled my garden with it.
but i can't fix my mask. I have a bit courage now to give her that flower and confess it was 11 june and i was waiting for her she didn't came so i thought that i have some time to be prepared so i prepared nice outfit, a bouquet of flowers remember the whole song and changed a little bit of melody to make it romantic, added some high notes...and practised to say ......that....
"I LOVE YOU♡ " to her..but the thing that was coming in my head and making me worry was the line "end of world on 12 june" i was scared but also nervous and happy at the same time..
Finally, It was 12 june and i saw that she was not there i try to search that where she live and found that she live in a hut faraway from my house.. i asked nearby people they just stayed mute and bowing their head down i don't understand what they ment to say and i saw nearby was a funneral of someone.
I asked about her....might be she had attended it because she is staying nearby, firstly they didn't recognize who am i talking about but when i show them her diary an old women screamed aloud...."son its so late!" and suddenly she began to cry....i can't understand what was she about to say but when the coffin came and i saw my one and only faith the bouquet fall down from my hand my jaw dropped i just screamed like someone just snatched my heart from my body. my romantic song turned into sad song
"But I still want you Bloomed in a garden of loneliness A flower that resembles you I wanted to give it to you After I take off this foolish mask But I know I can never do that Imust hide because I am ugly I am afraid I am run-down I'm so afraid That you will leave me again in the end I wear a mask again and go to see you What I can do is in the garden in this world I bloom a pretty flower that looks like you And breathe as the me that you know But I still want you, I still want you Maybe back then A little Just this much If I got the courage to stand before you Would everything be different now I am crying at this Disappeared Fallen Sand castle that's ieft alone Looking at the broken mask And I still want you But I still want you But I still want you And I still want you!"
[THE TRUTH IS THAT GIRL WAS GROWN UP BY HER AUNT SHE WAS AN ORPHAN HER BACKGROUND WAS NOT SO GOOD SHE LIVED IN A HUT FROM MANY YEARS SHE USE TO DO EMBROIDERY ON CLOTH AND SELL TO LIVE HER EARNING SHE CAME TO KNOW AT AGE OF 12 THAT SHE HAD CANCER AND HOLE IN HER HEART AND SHE WILL LIVE TILL SHE IS 18 AND ON 12 JUNE DOCTORS HAD GIVEN DATE THAT SHE WILL NOT LIVE LONG SHE ALSO HAS ASTHAMA AND SHE SAW GARDEN OF THIS MAN SHE THINK THAT THE MASK MAN HAS SOME REASON TO HIDE HIS FACE AND PERSONALITY
(although this wasn't one sided love anymore she saw his face and his felling towards flower hiding beside the wal and also she started to like him but she thought not to confess because of 2 reasons
1:she is not going to live more so why to make someone happy and suddenly broke their feelings
2:what if this is one sided and he rejected me.) SHE REMAINED QUITE AND JUST KEEP STEALING FLOWER AND WATCH THE MAN FROM FAR..]
I just broke down. i am feeling like the earth slipped down from my legs i was sweating and felling like it's the end of my world then i came to know the sentence in her diary why couldn't i knew it before i take it so lightly , why this always happen to me am i that bad that always what i want is snatched by someone... i was regretting to confess to her my feelings that i love her.......i just hugged her tightly with unstoppable tears everyone around also cant watch this miserably sad and heartbreaking moment the hall was surrounded by the sounds of sobbing screaming and crying...
all my sad and black vibes come out from me in the way of song i prepared from my lips with unstoppable tears
"YOU KNOW THAT I CAN'T SHOW YOU ME
GAVE YOU ME....
I CAN'T SHOW YOU A RUNDOWN PART OF MY SELF..
I STILL WANT YOU...
I STILL WANT YOU!!
AND I STILL WANT YOU..!"
i screamed and hugged her for about an hour then father requested that we have to burry her...
i cried it loud....after her funneral i was like no organs remaining in my body and i was like an living dead body i fainted 5-6 times a day till one month i had become so weak now i couldn't stand on my legs i spend my whole life regretting and singing in pain that "I STILL WANT YOU"........
....after that i never married and died unmarried....and burried next to my love my faith....
MORAL: LOVE YOURSELF
BEFORE ANYONE!
~THE END~
