SHORT STORY
D R E A M S
I raised by my grandma since my parents get
into excident when I am 6 years old. I really love to sing. Everyday and
everytime, I playing with my guitar. Everyone didn’t give a great support to me
except my grandma. She always say ‘Chase your dream and u will be success!’.
That’s words always come to my mind when I feel down. ‘Max, come down. It’s
dinner time’. ‘Okay Grandma!’ They are gonna be a singing’s competition. I feel
scared to show my true voice. No one ever hear my singing. ‘Why u looks so sad
my dear’ ask grandma. ‘Nothing,grandma’. I continue eating. When I am at
school. ‘Look! It’s Max. Let’s bully he’. I always be the victim of bully. I
don’t know why they always target on me. Did I do something wrong to them?
Nevermind. No one care. ‘Don’t Bully him!’ A girl name Wendy helps me. She uses
to be boyish but she is so beautiful likes an angel. ‘ I will see u again next
time!’ the bully say. ‘Ignore them, they all are stupid.’ Wendy say.
-
‘Are u gonna join the
singing’s competition?’ ask Wendy. I be pretending didn’t hear her voice. But
she asks me again with loud voice. Okay, her voice really loud. I thought my
ability to hear already gone. ‘I didn’t thinking about that’. ‘Oh really, you
should join that competition . Your voice really good!’ Oh damn, how she know
that I can singing. is she stalk me? ‘What u are talking about?’ . ‘Don’t be
fool. I always see u singing alone at this place’. I know it, that I should not
singing in public. ‘It is my voice, good?’ I ask. ‘Yeah, I think u gonna won
the competition’. (at home) It’s night. I feel really thirsty. I need water or
I gonna die. When I go down. I see someone at kitchen. ‘Oh god, is that a
ghost. No, Max u r stupid. Ghost didn’t exist!’. I take a deep breath. I
continue to walk into the kitchen. The ‘Human’ is drinking a water. ‘I don’t
know ghost can drinking’. And.. It’s Grandma. ‘Grandma, you makes me scared.’
My grandma laughs because she thinks it hilarious. ‘What are u doing?’ I ask.
She avoid the question and ask me ‘What are u doing at this night?’. ‘I am
thirsty, so I want get a water.’ I see something behind she. ‘Grandma, what is
that?’ ‘It’s just a food. I’m..hungry’. Her acting really worse. I don’t want
asks many things since I feel really thirsty. When I try to sleep. I still
thinks what grandma do at the kitchen.
-
I look at the
competiton’s poster. ‘Did I should join this competition?’ Everything go on my
mind. I feel scared if they will make fun of me. ‘Hey Max!’ . ‘Oh god, it’s u
again’. I say at inside. ‘What are u doing? Oh! It’s that a poster!’. Wendy feels shocked because she thinks I will
join that competition. I try to avoid her and go away from she. (at home)
‘Don’t let the food cry dear’ grandma say. I still thinking if I should join the
competition. ‘Are u thinking about the singing’s competition?’ Ask grandma. How
she know about the competition?! Did she read my mind. I still be quiet. ‘You
know max. You should chase ur dream. You already have the talent. Why you are
scared?’ . ‘But grandma.. I scared they will make fun of me.’ ‘Max, when I am
young. I really want to be a singer. But I can’t because my parents says that
it just waste the time. I feel mad and then run from the house. I continue my
young life with raised your father. I don’t want you be likes me.’ Grandma say.
I feel sad inside. I feel proud with my grandma. She can survive alone. ‘Okay
Grandma, I will.’ I say. My grandma really happy. It’s already be a long I
never see she happy. I only have a months. To practice my singing. When I
practice singing at my place in school. Wendy gives me a drinks. ‘You should
drinks more if you want keep your good voice.’ ‘Thanks Wendy’. I asks her if
she knows who is the judge. She say the judge is her sister and James also
Teacher Mary. I feel a little bit shocked. The boy who always make fun of me
will judge my singing. How I can suppose singing normally?! ‘Ignores he. He is
a kind person but he is just least attention’. ‘You seen likes knows he very
well.’ She says that James is her ex
boyfriend. ‘why you break up with he?’ She explain that’s James have another
woman. ‘I feel bad about it’. ‘It’s okay.’
-
(at hospital) ‘ Sorry
Mrs. Rose . I have a bad news for you. You have diagnosed with Breast Cancer’. Grandma
smiles for a minute. ‘You have to meet me every week from now’. Say Doctor. She
leaves the room. (at home) ‘Grandma,
where’s the dinner. I feel really hungry.’ ‘What? Oh sorry Max. I forgot to
cook for you. Can you wait for a hours?’
‘yeah, sure I can wait for you’. Grandma seen very weird. She never
forget about the dinner since I have been born. LOL. When we have the dinner. I
see grandma’s face is very pale. ‘Grandma, are you okay?’ ‘I okay. Thanks for asking.’ About my
practice, I always practice at my usual place with Wendy. I feels something to
Wendy. ‘Hey Max, I have a room for you so you can be more focus when
practice.’ ‘Oh really, where?’ I follows
she to a room which is far from my class. I didn’t feels suspicious about
anything. Maybe Wendy wants the best for me. When I go into the room. Wendy
closes the door. ‘what are you doing!? Wendy. I thinks I can trust you’. ‘Sorry
Max. James wants me to do this.’ I feel
sad. People who are always with me when I practice and didn’t expect will
betray me. ‘Thanks Wendy. I knows you will be useful for me’. The voice came
from outside. It’s boy ‘s voice. ‘Max , why you are still stupid likes time we
are kids.’ ‘why you do this to me?’
James says that when we are kids. He have a crush with a girl. But that girl
have a crush with me.
-
‘You fool. That’s
time we are only a kids!’. ‘You don’t understand Max. I done everything only
for her and then she rejects me just for a stupid kid likes you!.’ James and
wendy leaves the place. I feels sad. Only one humans that I thinking right now.
It’s grandma. I already stay right here for 5 hours and it’s already dark
outside. Grandma maybe gonna worried
about me. I singing grandma favorite’s songs with a sad tone. (at home)
‘Where’s my baby? Why he is so late. I’m gonna punish he because of this.’
Grandma ability to see become worse. And then she pass out. Gladly, the
neighbours come to my house and see my grandma. Grandma have been brought to
the hospital. (at school). Someone open the door. ‘Oh God, Thanks for your
helps!’ I say. ‘I’m so so sorry Max. I’m so stupid because have done something
bad for kind people likes you’. It’s Wendy. She explains that James have use
she for make this. She thinks with this , James will be like a kind person
again. But she’s wrong. I run to my house and see no one right there. Then, my
neighbours calls me. ‘Max, come to the hospital!’. I feels nervous with
anything news that I will get soon. Can I survive alone from now. I don’t
knows. ‘Max, here! I will take you to the hospitals.’ I don’t have any choice
and accept it. When me and Wendy arrives at the hospital. I keeps going to the
counters and asks ‘Hello Miss, Do you knows where is the room for Mrs Rose
