In the evening, Madeleine and his
boyfriend who his name is Paul walk together nearby the lake, woods, and the
hills. Then, they drive on their car to go to a village in which Madeleine was
born and her parents build a restaurant.
To reach there, they must pass the woods. When they arrive, they are greeted by
Madeleine’s parents. Paul feels comfortable because Madeleine’s parents are
really kind to him. Before dinner, Madeleine tells her parents that they will
get married and they agree if her daughter and Paul get married. Madeleine’s parents have a restaurant. When they go
to there to have dinner, Madeleine’s father announces to all his visitors that
her daughter will marry Paul and everyone congratulate them. After having
dinner, Madeleine, Paul, and Madeleine’s parents chat together. Madeleine’s
mother wants Paul to tell his parents about this good news because his parents
have not known yet about his plan to marry Madeleine. Then, Paul says that he
and Madeleine will meet Paul’s parents tomorrow but Madeleiene’s parents think
that it is better for Paul to tell his parents that night. Then, he phones his
parents. After that, he seems thinking about something but when Madeleine asks
him, Paul just says that he is fine. Paul is comfortable with the atmosphere of
Madeleine’s village because it is really different with his place in the city.
In the morning, Madeleine and Paul go to the city in which Paul’s parents live.
On the road, they talks about Madeliene’s parents that they are very kind
people and very pleased to know that they both will mary. When they are near by
the lake, Madeleine asks Paul to stop for a while. They enjoy the lake but Paul
is very quiet. Madeleine asks Paul why he seems very sad. Paul just says that
the developers want to cut down the trees because they want to bulid roads to
the hotels, shops, and bars beside the lake. Hearing what Paul says, Madeleine
is very sad and she invites Paul to stop the developers because the place is
too becautiful to be lost. After that, Madeliene and Paul turn back to the car.
When they are in the car, Paul says nothing since they leave the lake. Finally,
they arrive in the house. The house is very luxurious that makes Madeleine
amazed. They meet Paul’s mother. His mother is not friendly toMadeleine. Paul’s
parents are very rich. The house has beautiful garden, library, music room,
tennis-court, and the swimming pool. When the time for lunch comes, they go to
a dinnig room. There, Madeleine meets Paul’s father. Paul’s father seem
unfriendly as well to Madeleine. After
lunch, Paul and his father talk each other about something. Meanwhile,
Madeleine and Paul’s mother sit and drink coffee. Paul’s mother asks Madeleine
about her background like her job and her parents. Paul and his father come
back again to a dinnig room but they both look pale and very angry. Paul brings
Madeleine to her flat. When she arrives, she wants to write a letter to Tessa,
her friend, to tell the news about her plan to marry Paul and the developers
who want to build hotels and roads near the lake. When she writes the address
on the envolve of the letter, Paul comes. He gives Madeleine a ring in the
small box. Below the Madeleine’s flat, there is a student university who also
lives there. He names George. George knows lots of Paul. He is very excited to
know the news that Madeleine will marry Paul even he invites Madeleine to
celebrate it in his flat. In the shop, Madeleine is very busy so that when Paul
phones her and he invites her to talk about the developers, she rejects him.
The party is very fantastic. In the party, Paul meets Sylvie and they talk each
other. Sylvie is very rich as Paul. Her father does business with Paul’s father
too. When George know about the matter of the lake, he also wants to stop the
developers. On Sunday, Madeleine, Paul, George, Sylvie, and all people who want
to stop the developers gather in the min square of the city to march. The
porpose of the march is they want to tell everyone about the developers and the
lake. They want to tell them that trees are more important than hotels and
roads. In the march, Madeleine says to paul that she really hates the
developers. Then Paul wants to tell about something but he does not continue
his words. The march finishes. Madeleine’s parents invite Paul to have dinner but Paul cannot
go there because he has to work. He says to Madeleine that on Thursday he will
meet her again.
When Madeleine is in the bookshop, her
father phones her. He asks about the reason why she and Paul do not go to the
restaurant and about her wedding. Madeleine says that she has tried to phone
him but there is no answer and also she and Paul have not talked about the
wedding. On Thursday afternoon, Paul comes to bookshop. He tells Madeleine that
he cannot see her in the evening because he will meet the developers. Then, he
gets into a new white sports car and the driver is Sylvie. Finally, Paul can
meet Madeleine. Madeleine asks him about the wedding and Paul says that he has
not known the date because his parents will not give him money for their
wedding. She guesses that his parents do not like her but Paul says it is not
the problem. Then, she forces Paul to tell the problem but Paul just says sorry
to her because he cannot tell it in the moment.
In the flat, She wants Paul phone her.
many times her telephone ring but when she tries to answer there is no reply.
Then, she goes bed and compares herself with Sylvie. She thinks that everything
has changed, especially Paul.
Tessa visits Madeleine and she tells
to Madeleine that she has tried to phone her three times but nobody is home.
There must be something wrong with Madeleine’s phone. Madeleine says lots of
things about Paul and Paul’s parents. Then, she invites Tessa to go to the
lake. When they arrive there, the developers start to cut down the trees. Tessa
and Madeleine go to the restaurant to meet Madeleine’s parents and stay there
for one night.
On Sunday
evening, Madeleine accompanies Tessa to the station. She says to Tessa that she
has lost the lake and Paul. When Tessa has gone, Madeleine sees Paul in the
ticket office. She tries to call him but the station is too crowded so that
Paul does not hear her calling. She runs to Paul but she stops running when she
sees Paul with Sylvia walking together.
When
Madeleine is in her flat, George ask her why she does not come to the last
meeting about the lake but Madeleine answers that she does not know about the
meeting. He also says that the developers has won, they have already started to
bulid hotels and the roads in near the lake.
When
Madeleine sleeps, she has a bad dream. In the dream, Pauls’s father announces
in her parents’ restaurant that Paul will marry Sylvia. It makes her very sad
so badly. She wakes up because Georger knocks the door. Georger gives her two
letters that are found in his box and. The first letter is from Tessa. It is a
notification that Tessa will meet her. However, Tessa has come. The second
letter is from Paul. Through the letter, Paul invites her to come in his flat.
Madeleine is very disappointed because two letters are come very late,
especially Paul’s letter. Madeleine huries to Paul’s flat. When she arrives,
the one who opens the door is Sylvie.
Then,
Sylvie invites Madeleine to come. She tells everything to Madeleine, including
Paul. She says that Paul stays in her flat just for a night after that he goes
to country because he does not want to live in the same city with his parents
because his parents are the developers and her father is on of the developers
as well. Next, she gives the address of Paul to Madeleine and she brings her to
the station. In the train, Madeleine believes that she and Paul will live
together forevermore and nothing stops them.
