Day 8 - Dely by nellycious

Day 8 - Dely

Long ago, a devout young Catholic woman was excited for her wedding day. On the wedding day itself, her groom was nowhere to be found. She waited at the altar but he never came.

Every day, Dely waited for his return, trying to look her best in case her man comes back to fulfill his promise of marriage. After about four decades, that promise is still left unfulfilled.

Some call her a loon but most of the folks in Magdalena, Laguna have grown accustomed to her Geisha-esque visage.

One thing is for sure though: she is one of the most colorful characters you will meet ever, literally and figuratively.
Interesting character study. Sad but still hopeful. Nice work.
