4 women 4 tales
4 women - Tricia, Jenny, Wilma and Jane - knew each other since primary school. Their friendship spanned across 3 decades. They had gone separate ways for a while and somehow God pull these 4 women back again. They had seen how each other fell in love, fell out of love, eventually found the man they married. They were elated for each other when wedding bells rang and soon eating the red eggs from each other.
They are so different, yet so similar. They went through the ups and the downs with each other. They held on to this friendship tight and gave thanks to God for preserving this precious friendship. However, they soon realised instead of getting more joyful with each year, their life went the other direction.
With a tinge of regrets, they looked back at their youth days and wondered what mess they had got themselves into.
Jenny is stuck with an alcoholic husband. She is holding back on separation because of financial difficulties and children's sake. The emotional abuse she suffered, is eating her soul a little bit by bit everyday.
Wilma is a career women on the front. She helmed projects that involved millions of dollars with ease. Yet nobody knows underneath this facade, is a woman with little confidence at home. Her husband belittles her in every and small ways he could. She is tormented with his treatment yet she is holding back because of her child whom she knew the husband would contest with her head-on fiercely.
Jane, busy herself with family affair. She prepares meals and sorts out the domestic affairs by herself. She works hard in office and also at home. Yet her children is not appreciative of her at all. She sacrifices much yet very little is done for her. She wonders what's the purpose then.
Perhaps Tricia is the luckiest of the lot. Or perhaps she isn't because she is not telling.
As if they are actresses on the stage, their life stories are played out on the stage. As with everything else, the beginning has started but when will "The End" comes. Who will be on their credit rolls and what is their ending like? Can they live out of their situation or their ending is the predicted sorrow end?
4 women 4 tales.
