Lara – Page 74

 

TOM (in a choked voice)

Goodnight, Lara.

 

Lara lies on the bed on her back, her left hand behind her neck. Her gaze covertly directed towards Tom's back. Her face filled with sadness. Tom, aware of Lara's suppressed pain, refrains from reaching out to console and touch her, fearing he might venture into territories he doesn't want to explore.

She turns her back towards him, her eyes sparkling in the dimly lit room disturbed by the faint yellow bulb. In this manner, they lie together in their new cradle, listening to each other's breaths, back to back, for a long while.

 

FADE OUT

 

END FLASH BACK

 

EXT. LATE AFTERNOON. ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR

Lara stands facing Tom, very close to him.

 

TOM

Hello, Lara. I loved you like my own daughter.

 

He extends his hands towards her, ready to embrace her.

 

LARA (shouting)

No, Tom! No!

Her hands reach out towards Tom as if to prevent him from falling, but Tom embraces her warmly. They both suddenly wobble as they lose their balance. Tom pushes Lara towards the center of the car roof, ensuring she doesn't fall with him as he plunges down. Lara, horrified, rushes towards the corner of the roof. Thirty meters below, Tom becomes trapped in the massive safety net designed to prevent humans from falling. Lara hesitates for a moment but immediately jumps after him.

 

EXT. LATE AFTERNOON. SEURITY NET

As she lands on the net, Tom is already busy climbing to a hole in the net above him a few feet away. Lara is now distant from him, several meters away, positioned at the bottom of the net.

 

LARA (calling out desperately)

No, Tom! No!

 

Tom continues climbing towards the hole in the net.

TOM (determined)

I have completed this journey of my life.
