THE RED SILK DRESS - EARLY ACCESS!

There was a young man sitting on a bench in the park. And he was lost… he was lost in his life. His eyes were tearing up and he just didn´t know how to go on. Is it even worth it to go on? He wasn´t sure about it. His parents were going through a divorce and all they cared only about money. It was their priority and their son was just an obstacle for them. It was breaking his heart every single day. At school, he was bullied by older guys because he just wasn´t that typical alfa male, but a decent gentleman. He had to live in his grandmas’ house because of the divorce. But his grandma didn´t like him and she was capable of saying it just in front of him.

Well… so many reasons for tears… and the young guy was really crying. He was thinking about things which were terrifying but… he thought that it could be a solution in his darkest days. Even his clothes were just too rough and uncomfortable but he couldn´t afford new pieces. And in his darkest thoughts… he suddenly heard somebody walking right towards him. He looked up and he saw such a pretty girl. She was nicely dressed up in a white top and brown skirt. She was even smiling at him which was something completely new for him. Her smile made him feel a bit better.

“Hey, are you okay? You look… so sad!” she told him and she sat next to him on the bench.

“No… I am not okay… My life is one great disaster and I even don´t know if I want to continue in that disaster? Is it even worth it? I really don´t know!” he cried out. The girl was quite shocked and terrified by his sadness. She felt a huge need to help him, to cheer him up, to make him a happy person again.

“It is always worth it! Your life is a gift and you don´t give away a gift! Never ever forget this! Your life is the biggest gift you will ever receive!” she told him.

“But you have no idea what it is like to survive… You are not bullied, your parents aren´t divorcing and your life is happy. But my life… it is one great loss!”

“You can lose a battle in your life but you will never lose the war of your life unless you surrender! Hey… I am really sorry about your parents and about everything you are going through. I can only imagine your pain… But don´t forget… never give up on yourself!” she tried to cheer him up. But the young man was still sitting on the bench and his mood was still as sad as before. She could see tears on his cheeks and more were coming. He looked at her and he said:

“Look even at your clothes… you can wear comfy skirts and tops… I wish I could wear something like this as well… something comfortable!” he said and the girl was surprised a bit at first and then… she had a brilliant idea. She giggled and said:

“Come with me, young man! You definitely need a change!”

Then she took his hand and she led him to the city centre. It was just a few minutes of walking. He was so surprised and even shocked. Nobody in his life ever took care of him like this. They walked in a clothes store and the girl told him:

“Let´s pick up something comfortable and smooth for you!”

And she went to the dress section and picked a silk long red dress for him. His cheeks were blushing and he became very nervous. He had never worn a dress. But he wanted to be just like this girl. He was overwhelmed by her kindness, by her smile, by her will to help others… And this was probably the way. He agreed and she bought him the dress.

Then they returned to the park and she told him to put the dress on. He was a bit shy at first but there was nobody in the park except them. He put on the red silk dress and was immediately impressed by the smoothness of the material. It was something completely different. Suddenly… his all bad feelings were gone. He could feel the comfy material all over his body and it made him feel safe and… even loved. The girl was looking at him and told him:

“Now, tell me how do you feel?”

“Like… like a completely new person! I don´t why but all my sorrow and pain is gone… How did you do it?” he asked her.

“Your old clothes were rough, dirty and full of pain. There were scars and deep sorrow. You just needed to put them away… because your heart and soul were the same. You needed to feel something smooth and soft… something which would heal your heart and soul. That´s why I bought you this dress! There is and always be a trace of my love in it. If you will ever feel alone, sad and desperate, just put on this dress and remember that love will always win if you let it win. Always!” she told him.

Then she came close to him and kissed him on his cheek. After that, she smiled and walked away. The boy had never felt so much love and he started crying. But this time, it wasn´t tears full of pain but tears full of joy and love. Nobody would probably expect this but even a simple red silk dress can change somebody´s life.
