Elliot's Love Story

By: Sarita Sok & Lyny Seng

Elliot was an orphan who was adopted and raised up by a simple family in a neighbourhood near the beach in Florida. He enjoyed his life and he has a lot of childhood friends there. When Elliot was a kid, he liked to play on the beach and swim in the sea with his friends. 

One of them, Kristina, a beautiful girl who lived next door is his crush. Time passed by, they became closer and closer. They lived in the same neighbourhood, went to the same school and always walk home together every day after class.

One day, Elliot’s real parent whose son was kidnapped and disappear for 10 years found him and realize that Elliot was their son as they remember the necklace which belongs to the Ashley family. He was the heir of the Ashley family, one of the noble families in London. Life started to change.

Elliot had to move to London, change his school, and leave his adopters whom he thought as his parents and his love Kristina. Before moving to London, Elliot gave Kristina a necklace as a goodbye gift. Elliot always misses his childhood, his family, his neighbourhood, especially Kristina and has always been hoping to see her one day.

Five years later, when the Halloween season comes and on the occasion of 30^th years anniversary of the school, the director of a school where Elliot used to study when he was in Florida invited all students to come and join the Halloween and Reunion party of students from all generations. After he received the invitation, Elliot was really excited because he has been waiting for this chance to meet Kristina for a long time.

The party started in the evening and all of the students came, met and greeted each other. At the party, people dressed up as monsters, vampire, fairies, ghost and other mythical creatures. As soon as Elliot Ashley arrived at the party, everyone gathers around him to talk to him as they know that Elliot came from a rich family. It has become more difficult for him to find Kristina as everybody is wearing a mask and scary make up. While Elliot is trying to find Kristina, Kristina herself didn’t know that Elliot came to join this party. 

However, fate didn’t abandon Elliot, while he was walking through the crowd, an accident happened. Kristina tripped and accidentally poured her wine on Elliot. Elliot suddenly noticed the necklace he gave Kristina before he moved to London on her neck, and he suddenly realizes that the girl was Kristina. That night, Elliot and Kristina have a long chat until the party end. After that party, they started to go on a date and Elliot finally confessed his love to Kristina.

A year later, they decided to marry. They decided to celebrate their wedding by riding bicycles in London and chose Siem Reap as their honeymoon trip destination because they have always been very curious about the famous temples.

Many years after marriage, they had two children, one boy and one girl. Every year in summer, they always go to see the beach which reminds them of their childhood in Florida. One day in summer, Elliot, Kristina and their two kids, David and Ellena went to the beach as they usual. They swam, played and relaxed on the beach.

However, life wasn’t always happy. While their kids were having fun swimming in the sea, there was a shark trying to attack them. While trying to save her children, Kristina was badly injured and her leg was bitten by the shark. Kristina died immediately after she arrived at the hospital because she was bleeding too much for doctors to save her. Elliot was depressed and kept blaming himself. 

After his wife passed away, he didn’t marry again. He raised the children up by himself. And Elliot always comes to visit Siem Reap province every year to remind him about his memory with Kristina on his wedding anniversary.
