TOKYO TOWER- NIGHT Flashback still going on, both young girls are holding their ands while admiring the beautiful night view of the Tokyo tower. Both slowly start to move closer to each other, and their shoulders are touching, there is 2 seconds eye contact between them, and then they quickly turn around and they start laughing.And after that the camera slowly tilts towards the sky and it fades out. (Music was still playing until the screen fades out completely) FADE OUT: STUDY ROOM 1988- EVENING A different music fades in and it keeps playing in the background, the screen is still dark and there is a date at the middle of the screen wrote with a Typewriter font which says "10 years after". FADE IN: STUDY ROOM The camera tilts up, and it goes to this girl facing the camera and she is writing something on some paper, then the camera moves closer and it zooms in to the wall that is at the front of the girl, there is lots of prizes put like in shelves, in all fo them there is a "Sarah Wu best seller of the year" wrote. And there is some newspapers framed, which are all about Sarah Wu being best seller but this time with her face on it, and she looks like one of the girl that was shown in the flashback at the beginning.
- 3. 2. The girl sitting on the chair gets up, and the camera follows her around while keeping an over the shoulder angle for some shots and close ups to her hands when she goes to grab her book and a cup of tea that was in the living room, and her face is still not shown. THE CAMERA FOLLOWS HER AGAIN, WITH A CLOSE UP OF HER FEET SLOWLY MOVING TOWARDS THE SOFA SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. She sits down on the sofa and the camera slowly moves from her hands her face, and she looks like the girl from the flashbacks and the girls from those newspapers, the one that has the best seller of the year Sarah Wu. Then the camera does a close up again to her hands holding the book. SARAH- 32 years old, of Chinese origins but raised in Australia, in search of lost love, famous writer. SARAH (in a very tired and miserable tone) Miko... She reads the title of her book which is of the girl she loved and gave her everything for but she lost her 10 years go. Miko is the same girl that was seen at the start with Sarah. CLOSE UP OF SARAH'S FACE A tear rolls down, then you hear the phone ringing really loudly and it was coming from the dining room. Sarah wipes her tears off and slowly goes to pick the phone up. MID SHOT OF SARAH SITTING ON A CHAIR She is holding the phone, there is complete silence for some seconds. STRANGER (Over the phone) Heyyy...Sarah, missed me ? A girl with a really bright and lively voice says. And Sarah freezes for a bit, she is lost of words, she quickly recognises that soft voice. She starts to cry again.
- 4. 2. Miko- 36 years old, Japanese, comes from a really strict and close minded family. Lost love of Sarah SARAH ( with hiccups because of how much she is crying) MIKO.. why did you leave me ? MIKO (over the phone) Before I start explaining what happened that day, you have to stop wasting your tears on me. SARAH (not crying as much as before) Just shut up and talk right now. I waited 10 years, you know how damn long that is MIKO (over the phone) I can't talk if you want me to shut up and yeah I know I hurt you, and that my one stupid decision caused lots of pain to both of us. But we both know that we were never destined to be together. The society around us would have never let us live in peace. SARAH So you were scared of what people will think about us, and is that why you left huh. MIKO (over the phone) Is that what you really think of me, my life has never been easy I never wanted to leave you. My father had passed away, i just didn't know what to do that day, the first thing that came to my mind was to just quickly leave that place, i wanted to see his face for the last time. SARAH I'm sorry for what happened to your father I just...
- 5. 2. MIKO (over the phone) Sarah it's okay, you don't have to forgive me and whatever happened should be left in the past, it would be e best for us, because now nothing can be done. SARAH What you mean nothing can be done, we have found each other again after 10 years, you can't tell me to move on without you when we have finally reunited, this IS MEANT TO BE, we are meant for each other MIKO (over the phone) Sarah...I'm married, my mother forced me into getting married right after father's death she couldn't raise me and siblings by herself and since I'm the oldest she sent me away. Sarah stays silent, and the phone he was holding suddenly drops out of her hand, and is now hanging from the wall, which is attached to. MID SHOT of Sarah getting up from the chair she was sitting on and slowly walking towards the fireplace, and sitting down in front of it while putting her face on her arms which are crossed and put them over her knees. CLOSE UP of Sarah's face, she is crying with a smile on her face. The camera moves from Sarah to the fireplace and it shows the fire, on the background you can hear Sarah crying loudly.
