RORO JONGGRANG

SETTING: The action takes place in Roro’s living room. Bandung Bondowoso is

standing on his knees, proposing Roro Jonggrang to be his wife. Dayang is standing at

the corner of the room, silently witnessing everything happens there. Roro was sipping

her cup of tea, ignoring Bandung.

TIME: Afternoon – 4.30 P.M,

BANDUNG : Roro, I’m serious. I will make you the happiest wife in this entire world.

I have everything. Everything that you need

RORO : What? Am I supposed to believe that joke? (continue laughing)

BANDUNG : Roro! (raise his tone)

RORO : (suddenly silent) let me discuss it with Dayang first can you please go

outside for a sec?

BANDUNG : OK (go outside)

RORO : What do you think of Bandung, Yang?

DAYANG : He is handsome, gentle, nice, rich...

RORO : But he does not have a manner. He killed a cat.

DAYANG : What? Just because of a cat? Well, if you do not like him, just reject

him.

RORO : No! I’ll make him suffer first.

DAYANG : If you have made up your mind, then, why do you even bother to

discuss it with me? (looking at Roro, disbelief)

RORO : Well, I just want to play hard to get. Moreover, if I discuss it with you,

you’ll get the scene for this drama right?

DAYANG : Well, you’re right. Thank you for your kindness.

RORO : Now, call Bandung!

DAYANG : (nod, go outside and bring back Bandung)

BANDUNG : (sis) So, how is it, Roro?

RORO : I’ve discussed it with my maid, Mr. Bandung, if you want to marry me,

you must bring me an iPhone with watermelon logo on it, and make Bill Gates to have

second wife, and I want a Lamborghini with Ferari logo on it, I want a real Doraemon

with me, and I want Earth to have ring like Saturn.

DAYANG : Why you’ve gotta be so rude? Don’t you know he’s human too?

BANDUNG : You asked too much lady. Thats nonsense

DAYANG : Uh oh, it’s not good

BANDUNG : Roro, it’s an insult. I will curse you

RORO : Even to be a statue is better than to be your wife. Now, curse me! Curse

me to be a statue!

DAYANG : calm down, Roro!

BANDUNG : OK. To the moon, to the star, I am Bandung Bondowoso, will curse you,

Roro Jonggrang, to be my wife and life happily ever after with me!
