During my preparation of SPM, our teacher asked to do several essay to get us more better in writing essays. Again, it is the narrative essay and this time is about unexpected experience. It could be fact or fiction. However, i chose to do it fiction because i can use my imagination to the limit. Here is the essay:
My name is Marie. My father was a farmer and my mother was a housewife. I had eight siblings and I was the fourth child. I lived in countryside. I would never forget unexpected experienced happened to me when I was 12.
My family was poor and I had too many siblings. That is the reason why I felt that I was the black sheep in my family. I loved to write poems when I had spared time. I loved to lock myself in my room. I always slept near dawn because in the middle of the night, it was the moment where I could find peace for myself.
While I was sitting on the chair, I looked out the window. Time was in winter. Behind my house was a lush jungle. When it was winter all I could see was white snow that cloaked the black forests. All of sudden, I saw a lady in white. I could not see her clearly, but when I blinked my eyes, she was gone. I thought it must have been my mind playing tricks on me.
I went to sleep and felt restless, curiosity overcome the fear in me. The lady whom I saw seemed much sorrowed. Before I could shut my eyes once again I saw something strange. My feather’s pen stood upright by its own and it moved on my white paper. It wrote something but I did not dare to touch it. I froze on my bed while holding the blanket that covered my nose to my toes. Later, the feather pen collapsed to the desk surface.
Early in the morning, I woke up and I went to the desk. I could not believe what I have seen. I thought last night experience was a dream. I looked at the paper and it said:
Lady in White
Look now she comes,
by penetrating through the wall,
her head bows down,
that covers her face with her long black hair,
to hide her sadness from astonishment eyes.
She lingered around the castle,
to find her lovely child,
Guilty creeps all over the soul,
but worthless search the child,
because the devil's hands killed the child.
As The child is abandoned in the wood coffin,
silently to rest in peace,
ignoring all the surroundings,
that kills her mother's humanity.
My first expression when I read this letter was curious. I did not understand the words. I read it again and again. Finally, I understood it.
The clock stroke 3a.m.I was waiting at the desk. And In a blink of an eye, I heard a smooth harmonious melody. It sounded like a lady’s voice. I looked out the window and again I saw the lady. I ran downstairs and quickly, I took my winter coat and spirit lamp. I went outside and I ran into the jungle. I tried to trace the voice. Soon I heard the voice seemed louder and clearer. After sometimes, the sound of the voice vanished. I looked around the snowing land. Suddenly I saw a large branch collapsed on white clothes. I dashed to the branch and pulled it off. I saw a pale lady in white gown lying on the snowing land. Her wrist covered with the dark red blood. Beside her, there was a wooden box. I opened the box gradually. The smell was terrible. I quickly closed the box.
I went to the lady’s corpse and I touched her body. In a split second, I got a vision. I saw that a guy was raping me, I went to the house and the two old men yelled at me and told me to leave the house. After that, I saw my tummy getting bigger, I put a baby on the wood box and I took a razor. I cut my wrist. All the blood flew all over my white gown. And the Last thing I saw was I paralyze on the snowing ground helplessly. Then, a thunder struck the branch and hit me. Swiftly, I saw that I was beside the lady.
I rushed to my house and my mother already woke up. She was preparing breakfast for my family. I went to her hurriedly and explained what had happened. My mother told my father and he called a police. After about 15 minutes, a police car arrived at my house. They asked me to show the place where I found the corpse.
After that day, I never saw her apparition. I guessed she was just resting in peace. I wished god saved her from agony in Hereafter.
