Ending of “Can-Can”
Have you ever read
short story "can-can" ? so, what do you think about it ? I think
there's something that make that story feels un finish ending. There so many
possibilities with the ending especially about the wife and their child. In
this case, i will try to finish the ending of Can-Can with my own perception,
and still use third person of point of view, i make this story happy ending.
“Have you ever did
can-can dance?” he asked to Sarah unexpectedly.
“No, I never do that
awkward dance. Why ? “
He
just smiled without spoke anything. He still imagined how his wife smiled and
danced cheerfully, held up her skirt and kicked her legs, and his child laughed
happily. He asked to himself why he never realized that the happiness of his
family was coming when they laughed and did something exciting together ? He
never thought what will he do if he found his wife did the same thing like him.
Having a date with another man and let his children search their own happiness.
Why didn’t he stayed at home, played with his children, and made the happiness
of his family together?
He
loved his wife and his children, just a little annoyed sometimes. He missed the
times when he, his wife, and children went to zoo, had a walk, enjoyed the
place , and laughed together when a monkey made his child scared and then
cried. All memories about his family made him confused. Suddenly his phone was
ringing , a call from his wife. She asked him to buy milk for their child after
he finished his business. Then Sarah asked to him.
“Is
it your wife?”
“Yes ..” He just
answered shortly.
Then they started to
keep silent again, but finally he decided to talk something to Sarah.
“I think I should go
home now, I will accompany you back to café. Sorry, maybe this is the last for
us“
During
on the way to café, Sarah didn’t say anything. He knew from Sarah’s face that
she was annoyed, but he thought that was the best choice. He couldn’t have a
date with Sarah continuously while his wife and children expected him as a good
husband and good father. He couldn’t erase the smile of his wife when she was
dancing “Can-Can”, and the expression of his children when they laughed happily
together.
When
he arrived home, he found his wife and his child were dancing “can-can”
together. He approached and then embraced them tightly. When he embraced his
wife, he whispered something to her.
“I’m sorry, I love you”
Then
his child asked him to wear one of mother skirt and then danced “can-can”
happily together.
