Act 1

Once upon a time, a young girl named Adasha was living a beautiful life with her parents.
Every day after school, she went to the park and played with her best friend Jane.
Every evening, Adasha had beautiful moments with her parents, playing games or reading stories.
Until one day, she woke up at night to go to the bathroom and overheard a conversation between them. They were about to separate.
Adasha went back to bed, but she couldn't sleep. The day after, she barely touched her breakfast. And at school, neither Jane nor her good grades could make her forget what she had heard.
At the park, she told Jane about it, but Jane didn’t exactly have comforting words.
Because of that, they had a fight and Adasha left the playground. Her father, who was arguing on the phone with her mother, didn't see her running away.
Wandering in the park alone, Adasha started to sing.

Fall does make me sad
Rainy season, I’m not glad
All those leaves on the ground
Will never be bound, again

Why does it hurt like this?
I already miss the bliss
Like everyone,
You’re gonna leave me behind
*sighs*

Like a leaf drifting,
All alone in the wind
Pushed by air currents
Don’t wanna lose my parents

Adasha saw an old man losing his wallet. She picked it up and ran after him. She gave it back to him. The old man thanked her and told her he was lost. He had memory problems. She told him to look inside his wallet, there might be a clue to find his way back home. Inside, there was just a picture of a couple in front of a bakery, with the sign “Chez Louise et Raymond”. Raymond explained that he had a bakery a long time ago and his house was nearby. Adasha recognized the sign and knew where it was. She offered to accompany Raymond to the bakery to find out if the owners knew where Raymond lived. While Adasha’s Dad was looking for her in the park, she gave a last look at him and instead of dealing with her own emotional issues, she went looking for the bakery with Raymond.

Act 2

On the way, Raymond explained how he met Louise and how he proposed under a gazebo in their favorite park. Adasha liked that story. During this time, Adasha’s father took Jane back home. And with Adasha’s mother, they went to the police station to report their daughter missing. Adasha and Raymond arrived at the bakery, but it was a pizzeria. Inside, the manager explained that her father knew Raymond and when the bakery had closed, they bought the sign and moved it here, for the restaurant. She gave Adasha the address of the old bakery and advised them to take the 51 bus to go there. Adasha wanted to walk, so they started their journey by foot. Suddenly, two persons wearing white uniforms appeared and tried to stop Raymond. Adasha saw that the logo on their shirts was the same as on Raymond’s bracelet. Adasha and Raymond ran. Fortunately, the bus was coming. They caught it at the last minute. On the bus, Raymond confessed to Adasha that he was in a nursing home and escaped to visit Louise. She answered him she knew and she was glad to help him. She also confessed that she ran away from her parents because of their separation. Raymond comforted her and told her she better call them because they were probably worried about her disappearance. She replied that no one cared about her. Raymond explained to her why family mattered.

Act 3

After getting off the bus and getting lost, they finally found the house. Raymond forgot why they were here. He even forgot Adasha. She reminded him of the whole story. After he remembered, they knocked at the door waiting for Louise but instead, a young lady appeared. Looking at this strange pair, Natalie invited them to come in. Adasha explained the entire story to her. Natalie understood what had happened and told them. The house was indeed Louise and Raymond’s house, but not anymore. Natalie and her wife had bought it two years ago from Raymond’s son. At this time, Raymond already had memory problems and when Louise died, he was placed in a nursing home. Listening to this piece of news, Raymond stood up and went to the sofa to process it, and Adasha bursted into tears. Natalie told Adasha she did a good job taking Raymond back to the house and she will call his son. She looked for his number and called him. Surprised, Matthew told Natalie that he was coming. Raymond was so sad, he fled the house to go to the park, where he proposed to Louise.

Adasha looked at the pictures on the wall and saw a gazebo in a park. She told Natalie she knew where Raymond was. They went to the park and found him. Adasha talked to Raymond. He was missing Louise and was afraid of forgetting her, definitely. Adasha hugged him and realized she had to face her problems. She had to accept the separation of her parents because they were her family and she loved them. Matthew took her back to her parents, who were relieved and reassured. They told Adasha they loved her and nothing would ever change that.
And ever since then, Adasha made peace with her friend Jane and has learned to live with her separated parents. She has found a new balance.
The moral of the story is that Adasha is worthy of being loved and cherished and you have to deal with your issues to reach a new state of balance.
