Iris is a girl who wishes to follow her dreams and her heart just as how the Disney princesses would do. But realizing that her world is not a fairytale it is hard to maintain that dream.
Iris lived a life where her parents, her father, wouldn’t give her a chance to do what she loves. She respected and followed them, for it is they who supported her with everything and she knows that what they are doing is the best for her. But she just wouldn’t give up.
After graduating Iris worked hard in every stage she faces so it would please her father. She tutored Koreans in an English academy and she worked as a broadcaster in a Christian broadcasting company in Korea for 3 years. But at the same time, she worked hard in her drawing skills and grabbed all the opportunities she gets for her to get closer to her dream.
After staying 4 years in Korea, Iris got a job in Walt Disney Studio due to the help of her uncle, a graphic artist, by submitting her samples of drawing through a friend. She finally got the job what she wished for all her life. But she suddenly gets worried what her father would say.
After thinking over and over, she knew that she is in the age to think and to decide for herself. But still, she wants to respect her loving father, so she called him and told everything, but she was not able to hear a good response. She got very upset and wants to talk to him once more, so she went off to the Philippines.
As she arrives to the church in Philippines, she see’s a man with gray hair, wrinkles in his face wearing a formal coat praying at the cross. She hears her name from his trembling voice praying for her safety and apologizing for his selfish act.
Tears came out of Iris’ eyes and called out “DAD!” as soon as she hears “Amen”. The old man turns and ran out to her daughter and hugs her tightly delighted to see her after many years.
As she opens her mouth, no words came out. Her father said “Me first, I’m sorry, for not approving you earlier, I’m sorry for my selfish act, all I wanted was the best for you. I heard from your mother all of your feelings, I’m sorry, I truly am. I am proud of you and I do love you since from the day you were born. I am the happiest father in the world for having such a daughter like you. Take that job and I will always be here to support you no matter what! I love you dear. I really do.”
Tears came out of Iris’ eyes more and more, she hugged her father tighter and spoke with trembling voice, “I’m sorry I truly am, and thank you! Thank you so much! I love you father, I love you so much!” “I know, I know.” Her father said.
