I watched this show called The Notebook today, on Star Movies. It was about an old man, reading a story to another old lady. This old lady has this disease where she can forget everything including herself at any moment, and later on she'd remember again.
The story this old man is reading to this lady is actually about her past, when she was in love with a guy. Her name was Allie, and the guy's name was Noah. She was a rich affordable girl, has blonde hair and that sophisticated look. She went to Noah's village for summer. They fell in love and all. One day when she was out late with Noah, he brought her to a pretty pretty but abandoned house. They were getting on to sex in that empty house, which Noah had a dream of rebuilding it and making it his. Allie was panting tremendously, it was her first time. She kept talking and asking Noah what was on his mind. She realised she was talking too much and she said she'd shut up. But she went on. She asked him how come he was so quiet. He was turned off there, and then she said she's sorry because she wanted to make her first time something to remember. LOL. She's so cute! And they continued talking and suddenly a friend of Noah's budged into the house and said that Allie has to go home. Her parents had sent some cops out to look for her as she wasn't when it was already 2am.
She went home with the guy and her mum scolded her and disallowed her from seeing Noah again. She went to talk to Noah, and they argued. She yelled at him to leave, and then she said she didn't mean it and all. She was so messed up. The next morning, her mother said that they'd better leave, and go back to New York. Before she left, she went to look for Noah. But he went to work. Then she told Noah's friend to tell him she loves him.
She went to further her studies, and meanwhile met a guy, a rich one. Noah joined the military force. He wrote letters to Allie ever since she left for 365 days but had no reply. Her mum kept them away from her. The guy Allie met had proposed to her. When Noah came back after many years, his father had sold their old house so that Noah can buy his dream house. When one day Noah went to the city to get his house plan approved, he spotted Allie. He tried to catch up on her, and eventually he saw her, in a restaurant, kissing her fiance just like how she kissed Noah before. He was crushed. Soon after that, his father had passed away and he was alone with the house. He rebuilt it beautifully, just the way he had promised Allie it would be.
Many people had offered all types of amounts to buy the house, but he kept looking for reasons to keep the house. One day when Allie was trying out her bridal gown, her mum and her friends we getting excited from reading in the papers that some big man in town would be attending her wedding, and that is would a really grand wedding. When they opened up the papers to read more, there appeared Noah's picture and the pretty house he built. Allie fainted on the spot.
Allie went to tell her fiance that she wants to take a break and she wanted a vacation. She drove herself to Seabrook. She saw the house. He saw her. She stumbled and almost left without stepping into the house, but eventually she went in. They talked, they had tea, they had dinner, and she promised to come back the next morning. Noah took her on a boatride. Then it rained later on and they were soaked. Allie suddenly shouted at him, "how come you never wrote?!" and then Noah said "I wrote to you for a year!!" Their petty arguement went on and they kissed just like the way they'd make up for any complications. And they had sex. She woke up with flowers next to her and a note saying Noah had went to get breakfast. He told her to follow the arrows for a surprise. She ran along the arrows with a blanket wrapped around her. The arrows had lead her to what Noah promised her. She was in a painting room over-looking the lake and sunset.
A sudden knock on the main door downstairs. She ran down in her blanket, opened the door. It was her mum. She questioned her mum about the 365 letters. They talked a bit. Then her mum took her for a ride. Her mum showed her that her mum actually was in the same situation as her. She was in love with a man just like Noah many years back before she met Allie's father. She sent Allie back to Noah's house, and before Allie left, she finally gave her the letters. Noah was back in his house. And then they talked again. But it ended up in an argument because Allie was undecided. Noah said "You leave me, and then you have sex with me and you want to go and get married?!" Before she left he asked her, "Don't think about what others want! What do you want?!!!" and she only had to say "I have to go..!" He was crushed again. She went to her hotel, and talked to her fiance who had already went to look for her.
He said nicely, "So right now, I have three choices. First, I'll shoot him down. Second, I'll get him whacked. Third, I'll leave you. But none of it is gonna allow me to have you.." They both said "I love you."
And according to the old man's way of telling the story to the old lady who's forgotten about her past, he said "..and they lived happily ever after." Old lady Allie asked.."who??" and then kept silent for awhile. And then she said "Oh, yes..! Noah, I love you!!!"
So Allie had finally remembered who this old man was. The book he read the story from, was Allie's notebook. The danced in the room and kissed and hugged. And suddenly Allie backed off. "Who are you?! What are you doing?! Where am I?! Stay away!!! Help!!" and Noah tried to calm her down. Soon enough the nurses and the doctor came[they lived in a medical home] and gave Allie a relaxant jab. Noah cried. His world seemed turned-over. He tried so hard to revive her memories and she forgot all over. He cried really hard. The next day, the nurses found no pulse in him. They rushed him to emergency. And then he was soon stabilized.
He went to see Allie in her room. She woke up and saw him. He held her hands. And they talked and loved. He lied on the bed next to her and wished each other 'goodnight'.
And that's the love story I watched today. Not exactly the same at the start, cause I didn't watch from the start. But storyline's about the same. It was starred by Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. I fell in love with Ryan too. He's so cute! Go watch the trailer that from the link below. This story had a really good meaning behind it. I suggest you should strive your way to go watch it one day. I'm gonna get the book,which is by Nicholas Sparks, or maybe some sweetie pie can be sweet and get it for me? Okay, cut the shyt out. Working again tomorrow.
