 PREFACE

Thanks to Allah’s grace, mercy, and protection we could finally

complete this book on time. Also, we would like to thank all of the people who
had participated in helping us finish this “Tragic Mosaic” drama scripts
anthology. In this very special book introduction, we also want to thank our
lecturer and practitioner in guiding us through the time. Without their patient
direction, reaching this point would be hard for us. Lastly, we would like to
appreciate all the people who supported us in completing this book. We hope
the anthology can be filling the reader's time and give the benefit for the
readers to be the references in the future.

SYNOPSIS
Missing her mother's love, Kiara seeks
attention by disturbing and envying her 'other'
seed at the same time. Kiara only wanted a little
love that Mara would give, just like she gave to
Mara's son, Anwar. However, the reunion of this
daughter and mother is not going smoothly, as Kiara
wishes, and blood is needed.

SCENE 1. (ARGO’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT)

ARGO
[ARGO sitting on the chair. The room
is in a mess. The empty bottles are
scattered on the floor. ARGO
drinks up the last
bottle]
God damn it!
[ARGO throwing the bottle to the
floor]

1
 KIARA
[KIARA enters the living room.
KIARA looks tired. KIARA does not
even mind ARGO sitting down on the
chair. As KIARA enters, KIARA
kicks several bottles that
interfere her way. KIARA glances
at ARGO with disgust]

ARGO
Oh, sweetheart. You‟re home.

KIARA
[KIARA does not answer]

ARGO
You got drinks for me? I‟ve run out of these a
while ago.

KIARA
[KIARA keeps ignoring ARGO and
remains quiet]

ARGO
You ignore me! Here, you come here.
[ARGO standing up]

2
 KIARA
STOP! JUST PLEASE STOP! You‟re so disgusting you
know that!

ARGO
What‟d you say?
[ARGO slaps KIARA]

KIARA
[KIARA touches her cheek, enduring
the pain]

ARGO
[ARGO points his finger to KIARA.
ARGO staggered]
Just because- you‟ve had a job and money, you don't
have the right to insult ME! You should know
that!

KIARA

Why? Does that hurt your feeling?

[Mocking tone]

3
 ARGO

This witch! You test me again!

[ARGO slaps KIARA again until

KIARA falls to the floor]

KIARA

You know, I can insult you whenever I want. Frankly

speaking, you look like a complete loser now. No
more than a PARASITE!

ARGO
Then why don‟t you GO! You can go from here if
you‟re sick of me. WHY DO YOU STAY HERE? Huh? Or
do you really believe she'd return to this filthy
house?

[ARGO smirking]

She is a witch. She won‟t come back.

KIARA
[KIARA staring at ARGO with anger]

4
 ARGO (CONT ‘D’)
[ARGO approaches KIARA and grabs
KIARA’s cheeks]
Now the more I look at it, you really look like
her. That stare- is really the same. I won‟t be
surprised if one day you‟ll stab me in the back
and laugh. And on another day, you‟d run away
with a fucking guy. You‟re no different than
her!
KIARA
You don‟t have the right to say that. See it for
yourself in the fucking mirror.

ARGO
We don‟t have a mirror sweetheart. Don‟t you
realize that? We live without it the whole time.
[ARGO standing up and then leaving
the room]

5
 KIARA
[KIARA doing a monologue. Then,
KIARA taking the old and broken MARA
picture out of her bag. Then KIARA
start to tearing it up]
THIS IS YOUR FAULT! If you don‟t leave me, if you
don't love another guy, my life won't be ruined
like this! I hope your family is destroyed like
we are.
[Not long after that, KIARA
standing up and wiping her tears,
and then walking off the stage]

6
SCENE 2. RAFIQ’S LIVING ROOM - THE NEXT DAY
MORNING)

[ANWAR tying his shoes while eating bread

in his mouth. RAFIQ watching ANWAR
and then smiles. RAFIQ busy on his
tablet]

RAFIQ

It‟s a big day, huh?

ANWAR

[Chuckles]

Not really.

MARA

[MARA appears]

Oh my God, finish your food first, or you gonna

get choked, dear.

RAFIQ

Let him be, Darling. It seems he‟s super

energetic today.

7
 ANWAR

[ANWAR finishes tying his shoes]

This bread is so good! Mom, can I bring some?

MARA
Alright. I‟ll pack it for you. Wait a minute.
[MARA goes out to pack some bread
for ANWAR]

ANWAR
So, Dad? Is everything going well?

RAFIQ
What is „going well‟?

ANWAR
Come one, Dad. Isn‟t it obvious? It‟s your
company.

RAFIQ
It‟s okay they‟re not going anywhere.
[Jokingly]

ANWAR
[Laughing]
You got me there.

8
 RAFIQ
Why you suddenly ask this? You‟ve never been so
curious about this before.

ANWAR
Yeah. But, that‟s the reason why I took Business
Management, Dad. I mean, I should know the
situation.

RAFIQ
You act like a mature. Please don‟t.

ANWAR
Come on, Dad. I‟m 18.

RAFIQ
[RAFIQ standing up and touching
ANWAR’s hair]
You still look like a baby.
[After that, RAFIQ wearing his
suit]

ANWAR
Dad, please.
[Taking RAFIQ’s hand off his hair]

9
 RAFIQ
Darling, I am going now.

MARA
Wait! Wait! Your bag!

[MARA delivering RAFIQ’s bag]

Here.

RAFIQ
Thank you. Ah, I‟m gonna be late later, so, you
can have dinner without me.

MARA
Alright. But, please no matter how busy it is,
don‟t skip the meal.

RAFIQ
I promise.
[Smiling and holding MARA’S hand]
Oh, Son, do you wanna like- go with me?

ANWAR
No, thanks, Dad. That makes me look like a
spoiled kid.

10
 RAFIQ
But, you are.

ANWAR
[Sighs]
Whatever.
[Opening his smartphone]

RAFIQ
[RAFIQ only smiling]
Okay then. Bye.
MARA
Be careful.
[Both of them then say goodbye to
each other]
Well, do you want Mr. Ali to give you a ride?
ANWAR
No, Mom. Then, what‟s the point I don‟t go with
Dad?
MARA
Then?
ANWAR
Look, I‟ve ordered it.
[Showing his smartphone to MARA]

11
 MARA
Oh.
[Nodding]

ANWAR
[ANWAR gets surprised when looking
at his smartphone and standing up]
SHIT!

MARA
What did you say?

[Scolding tone]
ANWAR
Oh- I‟m really sorry mom. The new teaching
assistant will be there earlier to do the
attendance check.

MARA
Well, you can go with Mr. Ali then.

12
 ANWAR
No. Car will not work this time.
[ANWAR calling BAYU to check the
information]
Hello, Bayu. Will she be there earlier?
[A few seconds pause]
Uh-huh. What‟s wrong with her? What‟s her name
again? Kiara, right?
[KIARA’s name shocked MARA. MARA
stunned for a while. But, think
positively that there are probably
a hundred women in Indonesia with
that name]
Oh. I see. Thanks. See you.
[ANWAR turns off the call]
Oh, my driver‟s here.
MARA
Wha- what‟s your teaching assistant's name again?
ANWAR
It‟s Kiara.

MARA
Have you met her?
ANWAR
Of course not. Well, technically I will. She is
the new teaching assistant.

13
 MARA
Ah, I see.
ANWAR
What‟s wrong, Mom? You know her?

MARA
No. Just- just a familiar name actually. Off you
go.
ANWAR
Oh, Alright. Bye, Mom.

14
SCENE 3. (IN THE UNIVERSITY’S CLASSROOM -
MORNING)
ANWAR
[ANWAR entering the classroom]
Hi, guys!

HERI, TINA, FIAN

Hey!

HERI
Our favorite boy! You good?

ANWAR
Never better.
[Whispering to BAYU]
Hey, I‟m not late, right?
BAYU
Of course not. Here, sit over here.
[BAYU shows the seat beside him to
ANWAR]
TINA
By the way, I didn‟t see you this holiday.

FIAN
Well, he must be all around the world, right?
Where‟d you go this time?

15
 ANWAR
Um- Swiss.

HERI, BAYU, TINA, FIAN

Wow.
HERI
You really on another level, man. I don‟t even know
how what‟s like to be on a plane. Yet here you
going all around the world. So crazy.
TINA
Stop lying, Heri!

HERI
Why? It‟s true!
FIAN
So, Anwar the next time you‟ll go on vacation
bring him in your suitcase.
[ANWAR only smiling]
HERI
Wow. That would be a good idea. I think I could
fit in.
FIAN
You can‟t! Look at you.

16
 HERI
Why can‟t I? I can fit in! I‟m so small. Look,
look here!
[HERI standing up to show his body
but then suddenly, KIARA entering
the class. And all students starts
to be quiet]

KIARA
[Sitting on the chair and
preparing the documents]
Good morning everyone.

ALL
Good morning.
[All of them start to prepare the
book]
KIARA
[KIARA scanning the class]
So, I thought I‟ve announced it, yet only a few
people are here.
[Sarcastic tone]

BAYU
[With tiny voice]
But you only announce it this morn-

17
 ANWAR
[The voice starts to fade as ANWAR
stops him. ANWAR signalling BAYU
to not continue his words]
Shhh..

KIARA
Anyway, I‟ll just check who‟s here already. You
can say your name starts from the right.

FIAN
My name is Fian Abdullah.

KIARA
Next.

HERI
My name is Heri Indrawan.

KIARA
Next.

BAYU
My name is Bayu SenOpati.

18
 KIARA
Okay, Next.

ANWAR
My name is Anwar Winslow.
[KIARA stops as hearing the
familiar family name]

KIARA
Wha- what? What‟s your name again? Can you repeat
it?

ANWAR
Anwar Winslow.
KIARA
Oh, Okay. Keep going.

[KIARA is shocked hearing ANWAR’s

name but she trying to remain
calm]
TINA
My name is Tina
KIARA
Okay. Next.
EXTRA 1
My name is Windy.

19
 KIARA
Okay.
[The characters in class act like
they all studying in a class]
[The class is over. ANWAR taking out
some bread from his bag and then
ANWAR standing up and delivering
the bread. KIARA packing up the
documents]
ANWAR
Hey, I got something for you all. TADAA!

TINA
Oh, you‟re so sweet.
ANWAR
It‟s nothing, man. Come on take it.
[ANWAR giving the bread to HERI,
BAYU, TINA, FIAN while they are
still sitting]
HERI
Thanks, Anwar.

20
 ANWAR
[Chuckles]
No worries.
[HERI and FIAN start eating the
bread until KIARA starts to call
ANWAR]

KIARA
Um. Anwar.
[KIARA speaks hesitantly]
[ANWAR, HERI, BAYU, TINA, FIAN
looking at KIARA]
ANWAR
Me?
[Hand signaling to himself]

KIARA
Yes. Do you have time?
ANWAR
[ANWAR looking at his friends.
ANWAR trying to understand the
situation. All his friends also
look confused. HERI busy munching
the bread]

21
 KIARA
Only with Anwar.

[HERI and FIAN rush to stop eating

their bread and all of them start
packing their bag]
BAYU
Ah. Then we‟ll go to the canteen first. See you
there, buddy.
[Waving his hand]

TINA
Bye, Anwar.
[Waving her hands]

HERI
We‟ll eat first. And thank you again for this.
[Pointing at the bread]
ANWAR
Yeah. See you there.
FIAN
You got this, Man.

[FIAN tapping ANWAR’s shoulder]

22
 ANWAR
What do you mean?

[FIAN left ANWAR confused. HERI,

BAYU, TINA, and FINA left the
classroom. ANWAR walks toward
KIARA’s desk]
Do you wanna discuss something?

KIARA
[KIARA writing something on her
desk while ANWAR standing in front
of her desk]
Yes. So, I am curious about something. I‟m
surprised you enter this uni and took this major
remembering how wealthy your family is and able
to study abroad and get the best uni there.
ANWAR
Ah. About that. Uhm… I just wanna stay close to
my family and make them proud by taking this major.

KIARA
So, you‟re a good son?

23
 ANWAR
Well, not really. I mean- I‟ve disappointed them
many times.

KIARA
But that‟s not a problem, right? I mean, you have
a great father, Rafiq Winslow. He is such a
successful businessman. You know, I‟ve seen him
many times in seminars. And I can say he is a
hardworking and passionate person. What I mean,
at first, I hate the business field so much. But
after hearing his lecture, I become motivated
more in studying business. At that time, I felt
that, “Ah, finally I see a hope in my life”.

ANWAR
A hope? You seem like having a hard time.

24
 KIARA
Everyone has it, right? But I think that time was
the worst.
[ANWAR looks sympathizes but also
confused]
So, when I look at your father, I think, HE MUST
BE MARRIED TO A GREAT WOMAN. Because there must
always be a great woman behind a great man. Isn‟t
it?
ANWAR
Yeah. She is the best.

KIARA
Ah, I see.
[Chuckle and change to serious
tone]
I become curious about her. What‟s her name?

ANWAR
Mara Winslow.
KIARA
Ah, Mara. Her name rings a bell with me.

ANWAR
Really? To whom then?

25
 KIARA
My mother.
[Serious tone]

ANWAR
[ANWAR surprised for a few
seconds]
What?
KIARA
Yeah. The difference is my mother left me and
married a new guy.
ANWAR
[ANWAR looks confused]
Wait. Are you serious?

KIARA
That‟s a common name, isn‟t it?
[Paying attention to ANWAR while
smiling]
ANWAR
Yeah. That‟s right.

KIARA
Oh, no. Did you assume she is the same person?
Your mother and mine?

26
 ANWAR
Nope. It's just really weird for a coincidence.
KIARA
Right? Uhm. Maybe, I‟ll say it more to be a
destiny.
ANWAR
Destiny?
[Dumbfounded]

KIARA
Yeah. Like when you thought your life is so great
that a scar is not found. Don‟t you think it is a
result of another person‟s hell? A happiness that
comes from despair.

ANWAR
I don‟t get it.
[Confused tone]
What are you trying to say?

KIARA
No worries. You‟ll get that soon.
[KIARA standing up]
Alright, it‟s really nice talking with you,
Anwar. I hope to see you more often, maybe even
outside this class.

27
 ANWAR
Um..yeah. Really nice to chat with you too.
[Awkwardly]
Well then, I‟ll go first. Have a nice day!

KIARA
You too.
[Smirking towards ANWAR]

28
SCENE 4. (ARGO’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON)
ARGO
[ARGO drinking and sitting on the
couch]
You already home, huh? So, you gotta lot of
money?

KIARA
[KIARA walking toward ARGO, going
to his behind, taking off her
jacket, and then laughing
sarcastically]
No wonder she left you. So much crap from you.
Don‟t you know that your ex-wife lives her best
life, with her new guy and kid?

ARGO
[ARGO walking toward KIARA]
You wish to be dead huh?
KIARA
Just kill me already then!
[Grabs ARGO’s hand to put it on
her neck]

29
 ARGO
You BASTARD!
[ARGO still choking KIARA really
hard until KIARA falls]
Do you think I wanna live like this? Hah? I‟ve
worked hard on my job! But your MOTHER! She was
never satisfied with me. She told me to get more.
So, I decided to deceive my colleague and corrupt
the fund. Then they fire me! The next day I know,
she was already with another man. Who‟s at fault?
Tell ME!
KIARA
Then why did you obey her?!
ARGO
I thought she is the one for me. I thought I was
the only world for her. I trusted her with my life!
So, I‟ll go with whatever she told me to do.
That‟s why, the more I think about that moment
the more I hate her. Yet you‟re here having
the same stare and smile. You remind me of her a
lot.

KIARA
You‟re crazy. I am your daughter. How can you do
this to me?!
[Mad tone]

30
 ARGO
What‟s the difference? You‟re as psycho as her.
Her genes are in your body. You can‟t deny it.

KIARA
YOU ARE MAD!

ARGO
I AM MAD!
[ARGO grabs the chair and then
slamming the chair to KIARA makes
KIARA screaming and scared. After
that, ARGO leaves]

31
 KIARA
[KIARA cries and goes to the
corner of the room. KIARA sad and
upset at the same time. Then,
KIARA takes out MARA’s picture
from her pocket]
This is all your fault! You don‟t deserve to live
happily like that! You should feel the pain as much
as I feel right now.
[KIARA tearing up the photo. After
that, KIARA wipes her tears and
takes her laptop from her bag, and
prints the photos. And then KIARA
smiling evilly]

32
SCENE 5. (UNIVERSITY’S HALLWAY - MORNING)

[TINA standing leaning lazily on

the wall corridor, the left hand
in the pocket and the right hand
holding the phone. HERI eating gum
while wearing the tote bag facing
TINA on the left side TINA. FIAN
crouching holding the phone. At
the same time, they receive the same
news that makes them angry and
disgusted. ANWAR suddenly walks
in front of TINA, HERI, FIAN]

TINA
This is so disgusting. A whore comes after a rich
man?

HERI
No wonder she never shows her face, so THIS is
the reason.

FIAN
Maybe she‟s only showing her face at night, guys.
Like at the brothel?
[Three of them laughing]

33
 ANWAR
[ANWAR looks confused that three
of them laughing at ANWAR]
Hey- hey. What? What happened?

TINA
You famous Anwar. See for yourself.

ANWAR
[ANWAR does not understand what
PEOPLE talking about. ANWAR
confused and going to the bulletin
board alone where a group of
people gathers]
GROUP OF PEOPLE
[The students gather around in
front of the bulletin board and
ANWAR tries to go there and see
but on the way, ANWAR falls after
FIAN nudged ANWAR's shoulder]

34
 ANWAR
Can you all just tell me what fuck is going on
here?
[ANWAR looks confused while
looking at his friends’
expressions]
[BAYU comes and helps ANWAR to stand
up]
BAYU
You okay?
ANWAR
No! Everybody is staring at me like that! Just
tell me!
[While cleaning dust on his pant]
BAYU
Listen. It‟s chaos here. That thing has been
there this morning and I don‟t know who put that.
And here.
[BAYU showing his smartphone to
ANWAR]
It‟s also spread out on the group chat. You
haven‟t seen it yet?

35
 ANWAR
I didn‟t know that. Lemme see it-
[ANWAR taking BAYU’s smartphone
and reading the information about
his family on it]
This is about my family, right? Bayu, who sent it
first?
BAYU
It was anonymous. Someone got it on our
university‟s website. And then everyone just
keeps forwarding it to the group chat.
ANWAR
No wonder everyone looking at me like that.
ALL STUDENTS
[Everyone is looking at ANWAR with
disgust, scornfully, and leaves
ANWAR alone, only BAYU left]
BAYU
Are you alright?

ANWAR
Do I look like I am okay? TELL ME! Shit! I‟m
sorry I just- just need to find out who did
this.
[Speaking in upset tone]

36
 BAYU
Anwar, I try to understand it. I mean- the woman
is really your mother. And this looks real. So I
wonder, does she never tell you about her past?
Like where she lived or where she came from?
ANWAR
I don't know. She never tells me. Changing the
topic is all she did whenever I asked about her
past.
BAYU
You didn‟t know that she had married before?
ANWAR
I‟VE TOLD YOU I DON‟T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER
PAST! WHY‟D YOU KEEP ASKING THAT?
BAYU
Hey, I was only asking. You don‟t need to freak
out.

ANWAR
Please- just leave me alone. I need time.

37
 BAYU
I‟m still here when others already left, Anwar!
Yeah, you sure you need time. But, you don't need
me anymore.
[BAYU left in disappointment.
ANWAR is annoyed]

ANWAR
What the HELL IS THIS?
[While staring at the poster on
the bulletin board]
She cheated on her husband? What kind of bullshit
is this?
[ANWAR tearing up the poster/flyer
on the bulletin board. Then, ANWAR
taking his smartphone to call
MARA]
MOM! There‟s news about you! It is said that you
cheated on you ex-husband. And you know what? I
am at rock bottom now. Just- explain to me RIGHT
NOW.
[ANWAR leaves the corridor and
runs away with anger and
hurriedly]

38
SCENE 6. (IN THE LIVING ROOM - EVENING)
[KIARA in the living room. KIARA
sitting on the couch peacefully.
KIARA playing with her phone and
laughing happily because of what
happened on campus]
KIARA
Man, the campus is on fire right now. I can‟t
believe this plan worked so well. How easy. Mom,
this is the start. I won‟t go easy until you
suffered.
MARA
[Suddenly MARA knocking on the
door]
Hello, anyone there?

KIARA
[KIARA opening the door]

MARA
[MARA enters the room and suddenly
looks confused and feels awkward]
Are you Kiara?

KIARA
Yes, I am. Please have a seat.

39
 MARA
[MARA searches for the best place
to seat. But the place looks dirty
for MARA. Then, MARA put her bag and
scarf on the couch to sit down]

KIARA
Is there something wrong? You don‟t look
comfortable.
[Sitting down]

MARA
Well, this place getting worse than the last time
I remember.
[MARA looking around the living
room]

KIARA
So? Is there a reason why you come here?

MARA
It‟s about my son, Anwar.

KIARA
Your son? Who is he?

40
 MARA
Anwar. Anwar Winslow.

KIARA
Anwar Winslow? Who?

MARA
Don‟t pretend to be dumb. You know what I‟m
talking about!

KIARA
Calm down. You don‟t have to scream. You are
wasting energy.

MARA
Kiara, I ask you once again. You did something to
Anwar, right? Don‟t act fool.
KIARA
[Smirking]
MARA
What don‟t you answer me? Huh? Are you deaf?
[Standing up]
Is this money enough for you to open your mouth?!
[Showing the money]

41
 KIARA

[Standing up]

Wow. Is everything about money for you? No wonder

everyone calling you a bitch!

MARA

What‟d you say?

KIARA
You don‟t hear me? A BITCH.

MARA
Shut your mouth! You are just shameful just like
your Dad.

KIARA

Yeah. But, you more shameful than us. A whore

after money!

MARA

You‟re so hypocrite! You also need money, right?

[Throwing some money at Kiara]

42
 KIARA

Don‟t compare me with you! Everything is always

about MONEY, MONEY, AND MONEY to you! Just as you
left Dad and getting a rich husband.

Oh and one more thing, ME.

Hahaha! Even with every drop of your blood, you

can‟t pay how much my pain is because of you!

MARA

[Mara scoffs and cut off her

words]

Huh! You just want the money, right? Won‟t that

amount of money is enough for you to leave my son
alone?

KIARA

Please, Mom. Are you not gonna ask me, how I have
been?

[Kiara trembling]

43
 MARA

Oh, don‟t call me, MOM. Because, for me, you

don‟t even exist. You‟ve been erased from my
life. So, leave me alone!

[MARA taking her bag, turning

around and then walking away]

KIARA

[Immediately taking MARA’s scarf

on the couch and suffocates MARA
very hard from behind until MARA
stops struggling and dead. MARA
then falls while being hugged by
KIARA]

I‟m also your child....why can‟t you realize

that.

[And then KIARA crying]

[KIARA eventually laughs crazily]

I miss you, Mom.

44
 ARGO

[ARGO entering the house]

Well done, Kiara.

[ARGO tapping KIARA’s shoulder

then leave while laughing]

A complex relationship between brothers Joel
and Andrew takes center stage. Andrew, a gambling
addict facing financial ruin, demands his older
brother's inheritance as a desperate means of
survival. Joel, a successful businessman, denies
his request but offers him a chance at redemption
through employment. Consumed by greed, Andrew plots
to claim the inheritance and will do whatever it
takes to get it. As their bond fractures under the
weight of obsession, trust, and familial ties hang
in the balance.

SCENE 1. (UNDERGROUND CASINO - NIGHT)
[In a small, dimly lit room, with
a small round table in the centre,
ANDREW, a 28 year old man, sits on
a small chair, wearing a zip up
hoodie and jeans. With a pile of
money on the table and some
bottles of liquor, he placed his own
money on the table]
ANDREW
Alright, here is my last bet. I‟ll win this time
and get all your money.
[With three of his friends,
LUCAS, NATHAN, and AARON, they
played Street Craps—a dice game—
and bet a very high amount of
money]
LUCAS
Nah, man. I‟ll definitely win this time and you‟ll
lose.
NATHAN
[Laugh]
Whatchu talking about? I‟ll beat y‟all ass just
like yesterday.

47
 AARON
Aight shut up. You guys already understand the
game, right?
[Lucas replied to Aaron's
question in a drunken tone]
LUCAS
Yeah.

[Aaron explained the rules of the

game again.]

AARON
[Takes a sip]
Whoever gets a 7 or 11 is the winner in this
game.
AARON
Let‟s go!

AARON
[In a surprised tone]
Six?! Man, that was close!

LUCAS
Aight, let me finish this game.

LUCAS
LET‟S GO SEVEN!

LUCAS
SHIT!

48
 ANDREW
Really? You guys can't win this easy game? Come
on, man.

ANDREW
10?!

[Lucas, Aaron, and Nathan laugh

at Andrew's result]

LUCAS
[In a mocking tone]
Easy game indeed

AARON
Alright, Nate. Your turn.

NATHAN
Looks like I'll be the one to end this game.

[Nathan rolled the two dice in

his hand and the number eleven
came out]

49
 AARON
[In a surprised tone]
FUCKING 11?!

[NATHAN won the game again for the

third time]

NATHAN
[Shouting]
FUCKING HELL YES!!!

LUCAS
[Yelling]
GOD DAMN!

[NATHAN got up from his chair and

raised both hands in celebration
of his victory]

NATHAN
[Pointing at LUCAS]
I TOLD YOU!

NATHAN
[Pointing at AARON]
I TOLD YOU!

50
 NATHAN
[Pointing at ANDREW]
I FUCKING TOLD YOU!

[ANDREW, who had lost and run out

of money for the next game, made an
annoyed face and wiped
NATHAN’s index finger out of his
face]

ANDREW
Shut up, bro. You're just lucky!

[Mocking Andrew, Nathan picked up

the pile of money on the table]

NATHAN
Andy my bro. Listen, it's not luck anymore if I
manage to win this game for three times in a
row.

ANDREW
Yeah, yeah, whatever, Nate.

51
 NATHAN
Just accept it. I‟m a fucking God in this game.
[Boasted]
[As he counted the money, Nathan
taunted Andrew again]

NATHAN
(CONT‟D)
It‟s not the first time you've gambled with me,
Andy. No matter where it is, we already know who's
going to win.

[AARON collects both dice on the

table]

AARON
So, one more game?

LUCAS
Alright, Let's go.

NATHAN
Well, if you guys want me to
win again...

[ANDREW, on the other hand, is

still pensive about his defeat]

52
 AARON
Andy? Are you in?

ANDREW
Nah, I'll pass this time.

LUCAS
Oh, c‟mon man. Why tho?

NATHAN
C‟mon, Andy.
[With a little laugh]
Maybe you‟ll win this time.

ANDREW
Nah, maybe next time.
[Wistfully]

NATHAN
[In a mocking tone]
Why tho? Oh, I see. You ran
out of money?

ANDREW
I'M NOT! I'm just a bit tired.
[Annoyed]
[NATHAN laughed at Andrew's
answer]

53
 NATHAN
You know I can lend you some money to play
again.

LUCAS
Yeah, c'mon, Andy. You can just give him the
money back if you win.

[AARON, standing in front of the

table with the dice in hand, also
supported Nathan’s argument]

AARON
Just accept Nate's offer,
man.

ANDREW
Well, I'm done for today. I'm gonna go home
early.
[Listlessly]

NATHAN
Someone's being a coward I see...[Mocking]
[Andrew got up from his chair]

ANDREW
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY?! YOU WANNA FUCKING
BEEF? C'MON!

54
 NATHAN
Whoo, I'm scared.

[Mocking]

AARON
Cut it off, guys! Just place your bets and start
the fucking game!

LUCAS
[In a drunken tone]
Yeah, guys. Let's start the game.

[Andrew, fed up with Nathan, got

up from his chair and decided to
go home]
ANDREW
Fuck this game! I'll just go home. You guys can
continue the game without me.

AARON
Okay, whatever, man.
[Lazy tone]

[Andrew who had no more money left

to play decided to leave the room
with an annoyed face and didn't
say a word]

55
SCENE 2. (ANDREW’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT)

[In a living room, NANCY, Andrew's

wife, waits for her husband's
return home. In a sky blue pajama,
she sits on a sofa reading a
novel. In front of her is a table
on which there are two glasses of
hot tea and a plate of biscuits]

[Holding a novel in her left hand,

Nancy looked at her watch, worried
about Andrew who had yet to come
home for dinner]

NANCY
Ugh, where is he? It's almost late!

NANCY
He didn't even read my message!
[Annoyed face]

[The doorbell rings]

ANDREW
I'm home.
[Looking sluggish, Andrew entered
his home]

NANCY
Oh, there you are.

[Exasperated tone]
[Sitting on a sofa, Nancy makes an
annoyed face and asks for Andrew]

56
 NANCY
Where have you been?

[Nancy gets up from the sofa]

NANCY (CONT‟D)
You said you'd be home early for dinner! I've
been waiting for you for hours!

[Taking off his shoes, Andrew

replied]

ANDREW
[In a sluggish tone]
I have some things to do with friends.

[Nancy frowns and asks Andrew

suspiciously]

NANCY
Friends? Who? Don't tell me-

[Andrew sits on the sofa and cut

off NANCY's question]

ANDREW
Luke, Nate, and Aaron.

NANCY
My thoughts exactly!
[Annoyed]

NANCY
Andy, please. How many times I‟ve told you to
cut ties with them! (grim face)

[Nancy looked into Andrew's eyes]

57
 NANCY
Hey, look at me!

[Nancy and Andrew stare at each

other. She takes both of Andrew's
hands]

NANCY
(CONT‟D)
Please, don't hang out with them anymore. If
it's about work, you can find another job that's
better than this, as long as it's not with them.

ANDREW
Babe, listen. Getting a job is not as easy as
you think.
[annoyed face]

[Andrew got up from the sofa and

turned his back on Nancy]

ANDREW
(CONT‟D)
I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find one.

[Nancy got up from the sofa.]

NANCY
[In an excited tone]
What about your brother? Joel? I'm sure he can
get you a job at his company.

[Andrew turned towards NANCY and

pointed at Nancy's face]

58
 ANDREW
DON'T YOU EVER MENTION THAT NAME AGAIN!

[NANCY terrified; ANDREW lowers

his index finger and sighs]

ANDREW
Babe, I'm sorry. I was just in a bad mood.

NANCY
[In a nervous tone]
I-I‟m sorry, it's my fault for bringing up your
brother's name.

[Both are silent; ANDREW calmed

Nancy down]

ANDREW
Let‟s just forget about it. I'll try to find a
better job tomorrow.

NANCY
[In an excited tone]
I'm glad to hear that.

[ANDREW cuts off the excited

NANCY]

ANDREW
But before that, do you still have money in your
savings? I'd like to borrow some.

[NANCY was taken aback by

ANDREW's question.]

NANCY
Money?! What else is the money for? I already
gave you a good amount of money the other day!

[ANDREW made a worried face.]

59
 ANDREW
I just need some money for gasoline.

NANCY
NO! I told you the money is for you for a
month!

ANDREW
Baby, please. I promise I'll give it back to
you for more.

NANCY
[In an annoyed tone]
You said the same thing when I gave you the
money, Andy!

[ANDREW petrified.]

NANCY
Whatever, I'm going to bed!

[Leading the way to the bedroom,

NANCY points at the two glasses
of tea that have cooled down]

NANCY
Whether you want to drink the tea or not, I
don't care.

[NANCY leaves Andrew alone in the

living room; Andrew sits with
both hands holding his head.]

60
 ANDREW
I need to find a way to earn money so I can
compensate my loss to Nate.

[Instantly, an idea crosses

ANDREW's mind.]
ANDREW
Joel? Yeah, Joel!

[ANDREW's glum face turns to

enthusiasm.]

ANDREW
Since he got more than my share of the
inheritance, I'm sure he's still have some.

[ANDREW gets up from the sofa.]

ANDREW
I'm gonna ask him for his inheritance hat he
got more tomorrow!

[ANDREW picked up the two tea

glasses on the table and took
them to the kitchen.]

61
SCENE 3. (CAFÉ - DAY)
THREE ACTORS
[Two people at one table and one
person at another table are ON
SET]

[In a rolled-up grey long-sleeved

shirt and black pants, JOEL, 31-
year-old, sits in a café with his
fiancée, KAREN, 29 year old
woman, in a cardigan and culottes
pants]

JOEL
We‟ve just ordered coffees. You sure you don't
wanna order something to eat?

[Looking at the menu list on the

table.]

JOEL
Oh, they have choco doughnut. And tiramisu!

[KAREN pays no attention to Joel

and keeps looking at her
smartphone.]

JOEL
Babe?

[KAREN remains engrossed in her

smartphone; Joel snaps his
fingers at Karen and raises his
tone of voice.]

62
 JOEL
[snaps his fingers]
Babe? KAREN!

[KAREN puts down her smartphone

and looks at Joel irritably.]
KAREN
[in an annoyed tone]
No.

JOEL
(sigh) What‟s wrong?

KAREN
What do you think? (annoyed tone)
JOEL
(pleading)

About what happened at the cemetery?

[KAREN doesn't answer and looks

around the café instead.]

JOEL
Babe, please. Can we just forget about what
happened?

[KAREN looks back at her phone;

Joel grabs her phone.]
KAREN
WHAT ARE YOU-

[They stare at each other.]

63
 JOEL
(in a stern tone)
No more phone. I‟m talking.

[JOEL put both hands out to

Karen.]
JOEL
(raises his tone)
To you!

[THE CAMEOS LOOK AT JOEL AND

KAREN]

[Karen crosses her arms and looks

at Joel with annoyance]

KAREN
You've ruined my day, Joel. My special day!

[Joel looks around the café and

replies to Karen in confusion]

[THE CAMEOS ARE BACK TO THEIR OWN

BUSINESS]
JOEL
Excuse me?

[Confused, JOEL argues with KAREN]

JOEL
Babe, I'm visiting my parents' graves!
[Raises his tone]
To pray for their souls!

64
 JOEL
[Sighs]
You're not even praying for them, and more
concerned with your LAME high school reunion.

[KAREN gives JOEL an annoyed look]

KAREN
LAME?!

[KAREN replied with annoyance.]

KAREN (CONT'D)
You won't know how important the high school
reunion was for me.

[JOEL replied with a disappointed

tone]

JOEL
I don't even wanna know.

KAREN
[Annoyed tone]
That's what you are. Never giving in to what I
want and always putting your family before me,

[KAREN raises her tone]

KAREN (CONT‟D)
YOUR FIANCÉ!

JOEL
[Disappointed tone]
So your high school reunion is more important
than praying for my parents?

65
 KAREN
[angry tone]
You can go visit your parents' graves whenever
you want, I don‟t care

KAREN (CONT‟D)
BUT DOES IT HAVE TO BE ON THE SAME DAY AS MY
HIGH SCHOOL REUNION?!

[JOEL's pleading]
JOEL
Babe, only on this day I get free time to visit
my parents' graves.

JOEL
[disappointed tone]
I brought you along because you never wanted to
visit them with me.

[JOEL and KAREN are silent; a

waitress brings their order]

[WAITRESS ENTERS THE SET]

WAITRESS
[Looking at the order sheet on
the tray she carries]
A latte and an Americano?
JOEL
Yes. Thank you.

[The waitress puts both coffees on

the table.]

66
 WAITRESS
[Smiling]
Enjoy your coffee!

[The waitress leaves the table.]

[WAITRESS TALKS WITH ONE OF THE

CAMEOS AND LEAVES THE SET]

[JOEL returns KAREN's smartphone]

JOEL
I expected you to be more mature when we got
engaged.

[JOEL holds the handle of his

coffee cup]

JOEL (CONT‟D)
But I guess I was expecting too much.

[JOEL takes a sip of his coffee;

Karen still makes an annoyed face
and turns her gaze towards Joel]

JOEL
Babe, drink your coffee, please.

[Karen still turned her gaze away

from JOEL.]
JOEL
Babe?

[KAREN put her smartphone into her

pouch.]

67
 KAREN
I want to go home.

JOEL
[Baffles]
But you haven't had a sip of your coffee.

[KAREN looks at Joel with an

annoyed face]
KAREN
Did you hear me?!

[JOEL pleads]

JOEL
Okay, but, let me finish my coffee first then.

[KAREN gets up from her chair

with an annoyed face and walks
away from their table]
JOEL
Babe, wait!

[JOEL takes a sip of his coffee

and hurries after KAREN]

68
SCENE 4. (JOEL’S LIVING ROOM)

[JOEL, in a white t-shirt and

short pants, is sitting in the
living room while painting on his
canvas. On the table are some
snacks]

[JOEL dips his brush into the

paint]

JOEL
Hmm... something‟s missing.

[The doorbell rings]

JOEL
Is that Andrew?

[JOEL opens the door]

JOEL
Andy!

[In a zip up hoodie and jeans,

ANDREW stands at the door of
JOEL’s house]

[ANDREW ENTERS THE SET]

[ANDREW replies awkwardly]

ANDREW
Hey, Joel.

JOEL
C'mon in!

[JOEL and Andrew enter the house]

69
 JOEL
Have a seat!

ANDREW
[In an awkward tone]
Thanks.

[JOEL and ANDREW sit on the sofa]

JOEL
It's good to see you, bro!
ANDREW
[In an awkward tone]
Uh... Yeah, me too.

JOEL
You wanna drink something?
Tea? Coffee?
ANDREW
No, thanks.

JOEL
Oh, I know!

[JOEL moves closer to Andrew]

JOEL (CONT‟D)
[in a slight whisper]
You want some booze?

ANDREW
[awkwardly laughing slightly]
What? No. I'm driving.

JOEL
I see. Next time then!
ANDREW
Yeah, next time.

70
 JOEL
So? What‟s good?

[JOEL's tone became a little

serious]

JOEL (CONT'D)
It's been a long time since
we last spoke to each other.

[ANDREW becomes more and more

awkward.]

ANDREW
Uh... Yeah, I just wanted to
visit you.
JOEL
[Laughs a little]
Oh. Okay.

[KAREN ENTERS THE SET]

[In her casual clothes, KAREN

walks into the living room staring
at her smartphone]
KAREN
Babe, do you have-

[KAREN's question is cut short

after seeing Andrew in her living
room]
KAREN
Oh, Andy!

ANDREW
[In an awkward
tone]
Hi, Karen.

71
 KAREN
It's good to see you!

ANDREW
[In an awkward tone]
It's good to see you too.

KAREN
You come here by yourself? Where's Nancy?

ANDREW
[In an awkward tone]
Yeah, Nancy is home.
KAREN
Oh.

[KAREN offers Andrew a drink]

KAREN
You wanna drink something?

JOEL
Babe, I already asked him earlier.
ANDREW
No, thanks tho.

KAREN
Oh, c'mon. Let me make you a coffee. Okay?

ANDREW
[In an awkward tone]
Okay. Thank you.
KAREN
Babe? You want too?

72
 JOEL
Yeah, please.

[KAREN leaves JOEL and ANDREW and

goes to the kitchen]

[KAREN LEAVES THE SET]

JOEL
So, are you still working at
Starbucks?

ANDREW
[Distressed]
No, I resigned a few months ago.

JOEL
[Surprised]
Oh... I didn't know about that.

JOEL (CONT'D)
Where do you work now, then?

ANDREW
[In a depressed tone]
I haven't got a job yet.

[JOEL's face becomes increasingly

confused]

JOEL
What? Why didn't you tell me?

73
 ANDREW
Do I have to?

[Silent pause]

[KAREN ENTERS THE SET]

[Karen enters the living room

with two cups of coffee]
KAREN
Here‟s your coffee!

ANDREW
Thanks, Karen.

JOEL
Thanks, babe.

[Karen goes to her room and

leaves the two of them alone]

[KAREN LEAVES THE SET]

[Joel putting his hand on

Andrew's shoulder and offers
ANDREW something]

JOEL
[Sighs]
You know you can work at my place if you want.

[ANDREW slaps Joel's hand off his

shoulder and declines Joel's
offer]

ANDREW
How many times have I told you that I don't need
a job from you.
74
 ANDREW
[Raises his tone]
Being your employee is just same as throwing
away my dignity!

JOEL
[Sighs]
All these years have passed and you've remained
the same person.

[JOEL looks away from ANDREW]

JOEL
The same selfish and stubborn person.

ANDREW
You don't know shit about me, Joel.

JOEL
Of course I know you. You're my bro-

ANDREW
Alright, let me get this straight!

ANDREW
I want that part of the inheritance that you got
more of! The part that should‟ve been mine!

JOEL
[Puzzled]
Andy, what are you talking about?!

[ANDREW makes an annoyed face]

ANDREW
C'mon, man. I know you still have it!

75
 JOEL
[still puzzled]
But you've got your share, Andy!

ANDREW
Yes, but it's not enough!

ANDREW
You get a much bigger share just because you run
a business!

ANDREW
And I... Got a smaller share just because I was
in uni at the time.

[ANDREW looks Joel in the eye]

ANDREW
It doesn't sound fair!

JOEL
I know! But I can‟t give you. It's all gone now!

JOEL
I've used it all to make my business bigger.

ANDREW
WHAT?! No, I know you're lying!
ANDREW
C'mon, Joel. Just give them to me!

JOEL
I swear to God, Andy!

[ANDREW lowers his head and places

his palms on his face]

76
 JOEL
Listen, if you really need the money, you can
just accept my offer.

[ANDREW raises his head and looks

at Andrew]
ANDREW
[Raises his tone]
FUCKING NO!

[ANDREW gets up from the sofa and

goes outside, leaving Joel's
house]

[ANDREW LEAVES THE SET]

[JOEL leans back, putting his

hands behind his head]

JOEL
[Sighs]
I should‟ve used the chance to fix my
relationship with him!

[JOEL ruffles his hair]

JOEL
[In a low tone]
I'm such a terrible brother.

[JOEL puts the books on the table

into his bag]

[KAREN ENTERS THE SET]

[Carrying a cat bowl, KAREN walks

through the living room]

77
 KAREN
Where's Andy?

JOEL
[weak tone]
He's home.

[KAREN stands in front of the

table]

KAREN
He didn't drink his coffee?

[JOEL does not respond and walks

into his room looking
disappointed]
KAREN
[In a confused tone]
O-Okay...

[KAREN goes outside to feed her

cat; Joel goes to his room]

SCENE 5. (GROCERY STORE - NIGHT)

[In a white long-sleeved shirt and

jeans and a brown apron, NANCY
prepares to clean and close the
store]

78
 NANCY
[In a tired tone]
Everything's done, time to go home.

[A woman runs towards Nancy in a

hurry.]

[KAREN ENTERS THE SET]

KAREN
WAIT!

[NANCY looks behind her]

NANCY
[In a confused tone]
Karen?

[Karen takes a deep breath and

bends her back in front of Nancy]

KAREN
[In an exhausted tone]
Oh, thank God it's you!

[Nancy asks in confusion]

79
 NANCY
Karen what are you-

KAREN
[In a hurried tone]
Don't close the store yet! Let me get the cat
food real quick!

NANCY
What? I'm sorry, Karen, but you can't.

KAREN
Huh?

NANCY
Look at your watch. What time is it?

[KAREN looks at her watch]

KAREN
[Sighs]
Oh, c'mon! Just let me get that cat food!

KAREN
I'll do it in a minute!

80
 NANCY
[Raises her tone]
No!

NANCY (CONT'D)
It's already late! I'm going to close the store
and head home.

KAREN
[In an exasperated tone]
How dare you boss me around!

[Nancy sighs]

NANCY
Just come back tomorrow, Karen.

KAREN
I WANT IT NOW!

KAREN
I'll pay more! How much do you want?!

NANCY
You don't have to, and I don't want to either.

81
 NANCY (CONT'D)
[In a tired voice]
Just... go home, Karen.

KAREN
[Raises her tone and points at
NANCY]
DON'T YOU DARE BOSS ME
AROUND!

[NANCY sighs]

KAREN
Even refusing me to give you more money?

[KAREN crosses her arms]

KAREN
[In a sarcastic tone]
Look at you!
[Raises her tone]
LOOK AT YOUR FAMILY!

KAREN
Living with poverty and resisting money from me.

82
 KAREN (CONT'D)
Oh, you know what? Your husband came to my house
the other day.

NANCY
Andy? What is he-

KAREN
What else does a poor man do but ask for money!

[NANCY doesn't believe Karen]

NANCY
Ok, that's it. Cut the crap, Karen.

KAREN
Ask your poor, jobless husband yourself.

NANCY
[Raises her tone]
Don't you dare bring my family into this convo!

KAREN
Oh, so what are you gonna do now? Snitch on your
pathetic husband?

83
 NANCY
[Raises her tone]
ENOUGH!

[NANCY picks up her smartphone]

NANCY
I'll call the police.

KAREN
So? You're gonna put me in jail? You know I can
hire a well-known lawyer with my money, right?

[NANCY puts down her mobile phone]

NANCY
[Raises her tone]
I SAID ENOUGH!

[JOEL, in his casual outfit, runs

up to Karen and Nancy who are
arguing]

[JOEL ENTERS THE SET]

JOEL
HEY! What's going on here?

84
 JOEL
[In a surprised tone]
Nancy?! What‟s happening?

NANCY
Control your fiancée, Joel!

[JOEL looks at KAREN]

JOEL
Babe?

KAREN
This poor woman won't let me buy cat food!

[NANCY makes an annoyed face]

NANCY
Because it's already close time!

JOEL
Babe, please, we can come back tomorrow.

NANCY
[In a low tone]
Yeah, listen to him.

85
 KAREN
[In an angry tone and points at
NANCY)
YOU SHUT UP!

JOEL
BABE!

JOEL
[Lowering his tone]
Nancy is right. Let's just go home.

KAREN
[In an angry tone]
OH... So you're choosing her side now?

KAREN
[Raises her tone]
DEFENDING THIS POOR, PATHETIC WOMAN?!

JOEL
[In an angry tone]
KAREN ENOUGH!

KAREN
[In a disappointment tone]
You suck, Joel.

86
 KAREN (CONT'D)
Just keep defending this pathetic woman and your
poor brother!

[JOEL makes an annoyed face]

JOEL
[Raises his tone and points at
KAREN]
WATCH YOUR MOUTH, KAREN!

KAREN
Oh, how dare you point at me, Joel.

[JOEL lowers his index finger]

JOEL
[Lowers his tone]
I'm tired of you, Karen.

JOEL (CONT‟D)
First, the cemetery. And now this.

JOEL (CONT'D)
You've never respected my family.

87
 KAREN
This will never work.

[KAREN takes off the ring on the

ring finger of her left hand]

KAREN
You know what, Joel.

KAREN
FUCK YOU!

[KAREN throws the ring at Joel and

leaves the store]

[KAREN LEAVES THE SET]

[JOEL calls Karen who has left]

JOEL
KAREN!

[JOEL looks down in pain]

NANCY
I'm sorry, Joel.

[NANCY takes KAREN's ring]

88
 NANCY
She's too childish for a grown man like you.

[NANCY takes Joel's right hand and

puts the ring in his hand]

NANCY
It‟s not worth it.

89
SCENE 6. (ANDREW’S LIVING ROOM – NIGHT)

[In her blue pajamas, NANCY sits

on the living room sofa reading a
nove. NANCY turns the pages of the
novel]

[ANDREW ENTERS THE SET]

[ANDREW, in zip up hoodie and jeans,

enters the room looking slightly
annoyed]

ANDREW
I'm home.

NANCY
Oh, you're home already.

[ANDREW replies ignorantly as he

takes off his shoes]
ANDREW
Yeah.

[ANDREW walks towards his room]

ANDREW
Uh...

[ANDREW stops in front of the

living room]

ANDREW
Did you meet Joel a few days
ago?
NANCY
Y-yeah.

90
 ANDREW
He said, "tell Nancy I'm sorry about what
happened a few days ago."

NANCY
[In a panic tone]
O-oh... Y-yeah...

[ANDREW walks into the room]

[ANDREW LEAVES THE SET]

[NANCY sighs]

NANCY
Andy mustn't find out about the incident.

[Nancy puts her novel on the table

and drinks the water on the table]

[Nancy checks her smartphone]

[ANDREW ENTERS THE SET]

[In his casual outfit, Andrew

approaches Nancy, who is sitting
on the sofa in the living room.

[Andrew takes a deep breath; Nancy

looks at Andrew]

NANCY
Are you okay?

[ANDREW leans his body back]

ANDREW
[In a stressed tone]
I don't know.

91
 ANDREW (CONT'D)
I asked Joel many times for the inheritance,
but he never gave it to me.

[Andrew puts his palms on his

face]
ANDREW
I know he's lying.

NANCY
Babe.

I think you should stop doing that.

[NANCY puts her smartphone on the

table]

NANCY
Maybe Joel is telling the truth.

[ANDREW looks at Nancy with a

sardonic glare]

ANDREW
What do you know about him?
NANCY
I'm just saying...

[ANDREW straightens up]

ANDREW
You know what?

[ANDREW looks at Nancy]

ANDREW
You're right. I need to stop doing that.

92
 ANDREW (CONT'D)
And start my final plan.

[Nancy looks at Andrew in

confusion]
NANCY
Final plan?

[ANDREW gets up from the sofa]

ANDREW
If he still won't compromise in a reasonable
way...

[ANDREW walks towards his room]

ANDREW
Then violence is the answer.

[ANDREW leaves the living room]

[ANDREW LEAVES THE SET]

[NANCY is stunned]

NANCY
I hope he won't do anything nonsense.

[ANDREW ENTERS THE SET. Andrew

returns to the living room.]

ANDREW
Listen.

[ANDREW puts a balaclava, a knife,

and a Glock on the table. NANCY,
who is sitting on the sofa, is
shocked]

93
 NANCY
ANDY WHAT ARE YOU-

ANDREW
Nancy, chill. Let me explain
first.

[ANDREW stands next to the table]

ANDREW
I already knew that Joel wouldn't allow me to
reclaim the inheritance so easily.

ANDREW (CONT'D)
So I planned to rob him.

NANCY
[in an angry tone]
ANDY YOU'RE SICK!

[ANDY holds both of NANCY's hands

and tries to calm her down]

ANDREW
This is the only way for me to get the
inheritance.

ANDREW (CONT'D)
I promise our lives will be so much better when
I get the inheritance.

[NANCY throws ANDREW's hands and

puts on an angry face]

NANCY
ANDY, PLEASE! JUST DON‟T DO THIS! We can think
of other ways!

94
 ANDREW
No, Babe. There is no other way.

[NANCY looked panicked and bit her

fingernails]

NANCY
Did you even think about the consequences of
what you're doing?

ANDREW
I DID! And there's no other way, Nancy.

[NANCY gets up from the sofa]

NANCY
I hope you're just joking,
Andy.
ANDREW
[In a serious tone]
I'm not.

[NANCY walks into her room]

ANDREW
Whether you like it or not, I‟ll still do it.

[NANCY halts her steps]

NANCY
[Raises her tone]
BUT ANDY HE IS YOUR BRO-
ANDREW
I DON‟T CARE!

[NANCY is shocked and stares;

Andrew walks past NANCY]

95
 ANDREW
I‟ll do it tomorrow night.

[ANDREW leaves the living room;

NANCY is still shocked]

[ANDREW LEAVES THE SET]

96
SCENE 7. (JOEL’S HOUSE – EVENING)

[In a black long-sleeved shirt,

jeans, and a balaclava, ANDREW
sneakily enters Joel's house]

[ANDREW ENTERS THE SET]

ANDREW
[In a confused tone]
Hm... Why isn't the door
locked?

[Andrew passed through the living

room and walked stealthily to
Joel's room]

[ANDREW LEAVES THE SET]

[After a moment, ANDREW returned

to the living room and realised
something was wrong]

[ANDREW ENTERS THE SET]

ANDREW
[In a confused tone]
Where are all Joel's assets? And why is the
house so quiet?

[ANDREW sees a letter on the table

in the living room]
ANDREW
A letter?

[ANDREW picks up the letter]

97
 NANCY (V.O)
Dear Andy

If you're reading this letter, it means you're

already at Joel's house.
I want you to know that I've shared your plans
with him.
Joel is a genuinely good person, and he doesn't
deserve to be treated poorly, even by his own
brother.
I've told him to take all his assets with him, so
you won't find anything valuable here.

[ANDREW sits weakly on a chair in

the living room]

In light of recent events, I've made a difficult

decision. I've chosen to leave you and live with
Joel. Somehow, our relation goes back to high
school, and I never thought those feelings would
bloom again.
Joel has shown me love and respect, treating me
like a cherished woman.
Please understand, Andy, that you're a good person,
but I don't think I'm the right woman to handle
you.
It's time for us to pursue separate destinies,
hoping to find the solace we both seek.

Farewell, Andy. May our paths lead us to the

happiness we deserve.
Warm regards,
Nancy.

98
 [ANDREW looks down sadly and
shreds the letter]
ANDREW
[In a sad tone]
Why?

ANDREW
[Raises his tone]
WHY?!

[ANDREW gets up from the chair and

takes out a smartphone from his
pocket]

ANDREW
Please pick up the phone, Nancy!

[NANCY does not answer the phone]

ANDREW
Nancy, PLEASE! I wanna apologise!

[NANCY's number cannot be reached]

ANDREW
Arrrrggh!
[ANDREW yells and slams down his
smartphone; Andrew kneels down]

99
SCENE 8. (ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD)

[In his formal suit, JOEL awaits

NANCY's arrival]
JOEL
[Looking
around him]
Where is Nancy?

[In a casual dress, NANCY,

carrying a suitcase, runs to meet
JOEL who is waiting for her]

[NANCY ENTERS THE SET]

NANCY
Joel!

NANCY
Sorry to keep you waiting.
JOEL
It's okay.

JOEL
Here‟s for you, Nancy.

[JOEL gives a bouquet of flower

in his hand to Nancy]
NANCY
Joel...

JOEL
So, we're leaving now?

100
 NANCY
[In an excited tone]
Yeah.

[JOEL glances at Nancy's suitcase]

JOEL
[pointing at Nancy's suitcase]
Here, let me carry it.

[JOEL smiles and takes Nancy's

suitcase]
JOEL
Let's go.

[JOEL and NANCY hold hands and

walk to the car]

 WHO DO YOU CALL

By: Alviyandi Putra Suyono

Editor: Annisa Dila Rahmadhani Sudarman

SYNOPSIS
After graduating from the university, Kiran and
Rico made a life-changing decision to return to
their village in Sumatera, driven by a shared
vision to uplift and develop their community. Their
goal was to introduce innovative ideas and farming
techniques to the predominantly agricultural
village of Malaka, where the residents relied
solely on farming for their livelihoods.
Meanwhile, a wealthy businessman named Beni and
his secretary, Monica, ventured into the area with
ambitious plans to expand Beni's business empire.
There, he offered the chief financial incentives
in exchange for supporting his ambitious plans to
transform the village. Fuelled by a sense of
injustice, the farmers, alongside Kiran, rallied
for justice and devised a plan to confront Beni
directly.
"Who Do You Call" explores the themes of power,
injustice, murder, corruption, and the resilience
of a society faced with exploitation. The story
follows the villagers' struggle to

102
protect their land, highlighting their
determination to resist the influence of an
oppressive force.

103
104
SCENE 1. (FIELD – AFTERNOON)
[BENI and MONICA look around the
village and they are talking
about the plan for buying field]

[BENI walks through the land and

passed the farmer with an
arrogant gesture while MONICA
walks next to him]

BENI
I believe that it is a great place to expand my
business. I mean, this place needs me. My business,
my vision, and my expertise.
What do you think if I have a plan to buy this
field?

MONICA
[Smile]

It‟s a great idea, Ben. But are you sure? You

want to buy this field? People around here are
working as a farmer and this is the only place they
survived for their lives.

BENI
[Laughing and put his hand on her
cheek]

Life? Live? Love? They only a poor people, I could

take control of them, because money can buy
everything, little lady.

105
 MONICA
[Smiles and silent at the same
time, she looks interested to what
BENI said, because she doesn’t want
to lose her job]

Hmm that‟s true.

[Looks to the other side and saw
the crowd]

RICO
[Speaks to the farmer’s]

Hey everyone gathers around here!

MONICA
Beni, look! Do you know what‟s going on right
there?
[BENI wondering and directly walks
to the crowd]
Let‟s see it!
[KIRAN and RICO. They are speaking
in front of THE FARMERS, they are
talking about the next progress of
the farm and encouraging THE
FARMERS]

106
 KIRAN
[Standing while THE FARMERS are
sitting]

Hello everyone, after we graduated from Pamulang

University, we would like to thanks to all villager
for supporting us, that‟s why we have a desire to
bring an innovation for this village. The harvest
season has been done! All we need to do is planting
more in another land around here, we bring a new
equipment for our field. This is the only field
that we have. Because there are some people in our
village still have no job and it can be useful for
them.

[FARMERS give applause]

107
 RICO
[Suddenly standing next to KIRAN]

Yeah, I do agree with Kiran. She is a smart and

beautiful girl.
[Smiles and little laughs]
No. I mean we need to make our village be better,
because this village is the reason we survived
for.

[Suddenly BENI and MONICA approach

to KIRAN and RICO discourse. RICO
touches KIRAN because he wonders
who is coming]
[Smiling with an arrogant face and
cough]
Ehem... Excuse me! What exactly do you think you
are doing here, both of you?
KIRAN
Well, I‟m Kiran and this is my friend Rico, we‟re
just doing our stuff here, and you? Who are you?

BENI
Call me Beni, I own the largest palm oil
plantation in Sumatera and this is my secretary.

MONICA
I‟m Monica, nice to meet you.
[KIRAN and RICO look confused
because they have never seen BENI
before and suddenly RICO speaks]

108
 RICO
[Humiliate, cynic]

Are you sure, you are a businessman? You look

pretty ugly little piggy, you came with no
attitude, what the hell you‟re doing here?

KIRAN
[Trying to be offered RICO to
behave himself and apologize to
BENI]

Rico, Behave yourself, please!

[RICO silent]

Well, I‟m so sorry, sir. Please forgive my

friend.
[Sarcasm and laughs]
It‟s okay, girl. I was just taking a walk around
this place and who do I find? You and your
friend, just go on, good to see you both!

[BENI and MONICA leaving the

village and they go back to the
office]

KIRAN
Alright, everyone! Sorry for the interruption,
let‟s continue!

109
SCENE 2. (OFFICE – AFTERNOON)

[BENI sits on the chair while

MONICA listening to BENI by
standing in front of him, there’s a
table in the middle of them]

BENI
[Sitting with one foot on his thigh
while his eyes staring at MONICA]

So, I already think of buying the village. Do you

know how to make it happens?

MONICA
[Flirting to BENI with a sexy
gesture]

It‟s so easy, darling. I know that you are really

tired of your business, you don‟t have to think
about that, with money, you can do whatever you
want, handsome man.

[She tries to be close, and blows

BENI’s ears out]

Is there something else I can do for you?

[Without saying anything BENI tried
to kiss her on the neck]
[BENI suddenly stops it out and
talks to MONICA]

110
 BENI
[Takes a deep breath with a serious
face but smiles]

No, little a lady!

[Smiles]

I don‟t have time for this

[Little laughs]

I must invite the chief to come here, talk about

my business. Can you help me, darling?

MONICA
[Smiling, get her body off from
BENI, exit from the room]

Okay, you‟re lost! I‟ll bring the chief here in a

minute.
[In a few minutes later, MONICA
comes with THE CHIEF and THE CHIEF
sit on the chair in front of BENI
while MONICA standing next to BENI]
BENI
[Sitting with one foot on the thigh
with an arrogant gesture]

I think this the best chance for me to expand my

business, I believe I could get more money if I
build my business here.

[In a minute later, THE CHIEF comes

out]
MONICA
Please come in, Sir.

111
 BENI
Hey, good man. There you are, please have a seat.

[Shakes his hand to THE CHIEF]

THE CHIEF
[Smiles and directly sits after
shaking hands]

Yes, sir. Nice to meet you!

BENI
The purpose I invited you to come here is I want
to talk about business. First of all, why do I
come to your village? Because I want to look for
the field for my business. After I look around,
I‟m interested with the field that you have here.
What do you think if have a plan to build my business
by buying this field?

THE CHIEF
[Shocks, smiles, but looks
interested]

Hmm, first of all, welcome to my village. it‟s such

a good thing, you want to visit my village. But,
I‟m not sure about the idea that you want to build
a business around here. I mean, do you know all
the field is for my people to work? It is
impossible to be sell.

112
 BENI
[Smiles and asks MONICA to take the
suitcase that there are a million
thousand rupiah in it, try to
convince THE CHIEF with money]

This money is mine and I will give you much more

money than this in every month. Let make this
clear chief! The truth is that I have the money
and I have the power to make your village better
than now. Don‟t you want to see your village
become flourish? A beacon of success and becoe an
example for another village? You see, I have a big
plan for this place and what do you think chief?

THE CHIEF
[Silent in a minute and get
interested with money]

Hmm, would you promise? You‟ll make my village be

better and saved my people?
BENI
[Tries to convince THE CHIEF and
THE CHIEF agrees with BENI’s
offers]

Don‟t worry, sir. I never broke the rules.

[Smiling]

113
 THE CHIEF
[Deals and takes the money]

Alright then, it‟s sound great! I‟ll take this

money and you should make it come true.

[After BENI and THE CHIEF already

deal, BENI asks THE CHIEF to fit
the sign on the field]
BENI
[With an arrogant gesture]

Sir, could you put the sign for me on the field

tonight?
THE CHIEF
[Smiling]

114
SCENE 3. (FIELD - MORNING)

[In the fields there are THE

FARMERS that look confused about
the sign that stand on their
working land]

[In a few minutes later, KIRAN and

RICO walk through the fields. They
look at to the sign and calls THE
CHIEF to come out]

[PEOPLE CHATTING IN THE BACKGROUND

SOUND EFFECTS]

FARMER 1
Where else we supposed to work? This the only
field we have.
FARMER 2
Yeah, what should we do now?
KIRAN
[Wondering and curious]

Hey guys, what‟s going on? What happened with

this field? Who puts this sign?

RICO
[Speaking next to the sign with
angry face]

Who dare to put this fucking sign and sell our

fields? Everyone knows? We can't just look and
see, we need to take this shit off!

115
 KIRAN

KIRAN
Okey, hurry up.
FARMER 2
What should we do now?
KIRAN
Guys, it‟s okay. Let‟s talk to the chief first.
[In a minute later, RICO and THE
CHIEF come out]

[The CHIEF looks so nervous

and trying to hide about
the field]

RICO
Guys, here‟s the chief.
KIRAN
[Asks to THE CHIEF with angry face]

Sir, look! Now the farmer can‟t work in this

field anymore, because this field already sold
without our agreement. Do you know what happened?
Please tell us the truth, sir!

116
 THE CHIEF
[Nervous]

Hmm, I know this is the only field that we have

in our village. But I don‟t sell this field, Mr.
Beni wants to help us to make this village grow.
I think it's a great idea.

RICO
[Laughing with sulky gesture]

Are you sure he will make it happens, sir? Just

try to be honest old man!

THE CHIEF
I‟m sure one hundred percent.
[Making peace finger sign]

KIRAN
[Wondering and asks THE CHIEF
seriously]

So, why didn't you tell us? We have no agreement

to sell this field because all the farmers still
need a job for their life.
THE FARMERS
[Looks agree with KIRAN and

shouting]

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE!

117
 RICO
[Blame THE CHIEF and shouting]

I think he's getting paid for selling our field,

tell us the truth old man! We can't trust this
fat man, we need to protest against Beni!

KIRAN

right back! Come on Beni we need to talk!

RICO
[Encourage THE FARMERS to keep
shouting and speaking loudly]

Beni! Get off your fucking office, now! Give us

back our land!
Come on everyone, keep shouting!
[Shortly afterward, BENI and MONICA
get out of the office and standing
in front the crowd]

[BENI and MONICA just standing and smiling because

BENI already called THE POLICE to come out and
forced the crowd to get home]

119
 KIRAN
[Raises her hand pointing to
BENI]

Beni! You cannot just standing there, we could

pay you back for taking our land! Come on Beni!
We should make an agreement! You can‟t force us
to sell our land!

BENI
[Smiling with an arrogant face and
remains silent]

RICO
[Looks angry, and shouting at BENI]

Hey, old man! Get your fucking ass out of this

fucking village, Little piggy!

[THE POLICE comes]

[THE POLICE stands in front of the

crowd and THE POLICE shoots the
gun to the sky as a warning]
THE POLICE
[THE GUN SHOOTS SOUND EFFECTS]

[Shouting]

GET BACK!

[Repeatedly]
Don‟t go any closer!
KIRAN
[Silent with annoyed face and move
back]

120
 RICO
[Shouting, spits on the ground
towards BENI]

Beni! We are not afraid of you! We will do

everything!
[BENI and MONICA watching the
crowds slowly gone]

[BENI pays attention to what RICO

did, while BENI and MONICA standing
in front of the office]

BENI
[BENI gets his phone up and call
THE HITMAN by smiling with a
cruelty face]

[PHONE CALLING SOUND EFFECTS]

Hello, man! It's been a long time not to call

you. I have a job for you, will you help me? So,
come here to my office!

[In a minute later, THE HITMAN

comes to the office, they are
speaking in front of the office]

[PHONE HANG UP SOUND EFFECTS]

HITMAN
[Terrible face, rarely speak]

Why did you call me again?

121
 BENI
[Smiles]

I know you still need money because you only live

with your little child, I have a job for you. I
need you to do something that you normally do for
me, someone called Rico, he is always in the
fields in the morning. If you can finish this
job, I'll pay you more than before.

HITMAN
[Staring at BENI]

I know what you want to do, what‟s the reason

you want me to do this job again?
BENI
[Trying to be close speaking with
THE HITMAN and whispering]
My fucking business!
HITMAN
[Laughing]

I think you are already tired of being a rich

man. In fact, you're not. But, It's such a nice
job for me.

BENI
[Gives his hand to HITMAN]

Deal?! After you‟ve finished this job, you should

call me immediately?

122
 HITMAN
[Shakes his hand and little laughs]

Alright old man! I'll do it.

[THE HITMAN leaves]

123
SCENE 5. (FIELD - MORNING)
[KIRAN and RICO walk through the
village, they argue with each
other. Suddenly, KIRAN and RICO
stop in front of the field]

KIRAN
[Serious face, a bit anger]

Ric, what do you think if we couldn‟t get the

field back? We don‟t have a chance anymore,
because the chief already agrees and he sold the
field for himself. All we need to do is bring
this case to the law.

RICO
[Satire]
Law?
[Laughing]

Which law will protect us? The law only works for
people who have money and power, while we‟re just
ordinary people. We need to fight against Beni by
taking off this fucking sign and solving this
problem by our fucking self. It doesn‟t matter if
we win or not, at least we already fight for our
land!

124
 KIRAN
Ric, I do appreciate you. But, we should bring
this case to the authorities, do you know what I
mean? If we solve this case alone, it will never
work and there will be people suffer. I believe
there are a lot of people out there that still
have their humanity.

RICO
[Suddenly he confesses his feeling
with staring at KIRAN’s sad eyes
and directly takes the sign off]
[Crying, Shouting]

Did you? Did you appreciate me, Kiran? Kiran,

listen! I always be there for you, when you decided
something, I always agree with you, I always
support you, whenever you are in bad situation, I
always next to you. But you, you never agreed with
everything I said. How could you so selfish? I
always convince myself to understand the way you
think! Have you seen all of those attention, even
if just a small thing? Secret I have, I always hold
in my heart. You never know what I feel, it hurts
me like hell! Wherever you go, I've tried to
be close, you never know, Kiran! It broke me down!
I never be a man that you wanted, forever! Have
you ever realised? The reason why am I still here?
Forget about that. That is not the reason we went
back

125
to our village. We‟re back here to make our village
grow. If you don‟t want me to do it, I could take
this sign off and let the farmer work in the field
again. Just go!

KIRAN
[Silent in a minute, she looks sad]

Ric, why do you say that? We‟re just friends, do

you remember our promise after we graduated? You
said we should make our village better, whatever
happens, you and me, we‟re still friends.

[Silent in a minute]

Alright, I should go home to bring our food.

[Leaves RICO to bring some foods]

RICO
[Getting mad, shouts in front of
the sign]

Hey everyone, let's get back to work!

[Takes off the sign]

Get back to work in our field! Whatever happens,

we need to fight back! Come one!

126
 THE FARMERS
[Get back work in their field]

[RICO feels so tired and thirsty.

He sits on the ground and drinks]

[In a minute later, there is a man

who walks past him and stops in front
of him. He asks the direction]

HITMAN
[Pretending, asks with a
terrible face]

Excuse me, man. Do you know where I can find a

market nearby here?
RICO
[Wondering]

Who are you? Have you ever been here before?

HITMAN
I‟m just a foreigner, I want to buy some food for
my son. Do you know where the market is, man?

127
 RICO
The market isn‟t too far from here, keep going after
you find the first house then turn left, the
market is on the right side.

[While RICO explaining the

direction, THE HITMAN takes knife
from his shirt slowly and puts
knife against RICO on the neck,
puts his hand against his mouth to
reduce the noise]

[RICO died, his body lying on the

ground with full of bloods in his
face]

[HITMAN calls BENI immediately]

HITMAN
Hey old man, the job has been done, don‟t forget
to pay me, double!

[THE FARMERS doesn’t know]

[In a minute later, KIRAN come back

to the fields, she brings the food,
suddenly she looks RICO was lying
on the ground lifeless]

128
 KIRAN
[Shocks, shouts, crying]

Hey, Ric. Why did you lying on the ground? Ric,

Ric, Rico!!! Help!
Everyone, help!
[The tear pouring down on her face]

Who did it to you Rico? Rico wakes up come on!

Everyone, help please!

[THE FARMERS approach to KIRAN and

carry RICO]

THE FARMERS
Come on, everyone. Let‟s take him to the
hospital!
[KIRAN calls THE POLICE
immediately]

KIRAN
Hello, is this the police office? Someone has
killed my friend, I‟m at Malaka village, please
hurry up!
[In a minute later THE POLICE and
THE CHIEF come to the place where
RICO murdered. THE POLICE promises
that they will solve this case]

129
 KIRAN
[Hysterical and crying]

Sir, please, help me to find the murder! I need a

justice for this!

THE POLICE
[Talks seriously]

Don‟t worry, we will investigate the case soon.

Please calm down, you can get home now, we will
contact you as soon as we found the results.

KIRAN
I really do hope for your help, sir!

THE POLICE
It‟s okey, just wait for a while

130
SCENE 6. (HOUSE – EVENING)

[KIRAN looks so confused,

depressed. She just sits on the
ground at home and daydreaming
about what already happened with
RICO]

KIRAN
[Angry, confuse, sad, shout]

Arghhh! It‟s been a couple week, there is no

information about Rico. What should I do! I‟m sure
that Beni is the murder behind all of this! He
killed Rico for his business!

[In a minute later, THE POLICE

calls KIRAN and tells RICO’s death]

THE POLICE
Hallo, we are from the police office, is Kiran
there?
KIRAN
Yes, sir! I am

131
 THE POLICE

So, I would like to tell you about the death of

your friend, named Rico. We already
investigated the case, and the result found
that Rico death was suicide. He got depressed
and he stabbed himself with a knife. This case
was complicated, no one saw him when your
friend died. Also, we have no eyewitness.
KIRAN
[Angry, shouts]
No!! I knew Rico! He will never do that! Rico
is not like that! Why don‟t you investigate it
deeper, sir? Please, sir! I need you to solve
this case!

THE POLICE
Sorry, Kiran, the case already done, we closed it
because the result was found!

[The police directly hang up the

phone]
KIRAN
[Angry, Crying, shouting]

Sir!! No, Sir! Please! Hello?

132
 KIRAN

[Daydreaming, looks so sad with

full of things that caught in her
mind, and she speaks within
herself]

Now, the farmer couldn‟t work in the field as their

used to be. It‟s because Beni wants to take control
the field. I don‟t know what I should do. I lost
my friend, I feel so sorry for what I did to Rico,
please forgive me, Ric. If I can turn back the time
will never leave you alone, I‟m so stupid! And now
I‟m alone! How can I live the rest of my life
if I lose you? You are my world, I need you here
with me.

[In a minute later, her mother come

closely and sit next to her]

MOTHER
[Sit next to KIRAN]

Kiran, I know your heart is broken now. You

already done to do your best. You fight against
Beni and you lost your best friend, I feel you.

 KIRAN
[Wipes the tears out and hug
MOTHER]

I don‟t know where should I go, mom. The police

aren‟t really investigating and always ignore us.
They all liar! Mom! Why? Why is this all
happening to us? Why mom?

MOTHER
[Embracing KIRAN]

Because we have no power, lady. Now the police and

the law only work with people that have a power.
It‟s the same as your father did when you were a
kid. Your father was fighting against people that
took our land. He was caught to prison because of
what he did was protest against people that have
a money and power like Beni, he died in prison
because he had a heart attack.

[Looks so sad, the tears pouring

down slowly]

Now, I hope he gets justice and peace in heaven.

KIRAN
[Crying]

I wish my father here with me, mom. The police

didn‟t take the case, I think Beni already paid
for it.

[MOTHER leaves KIRAN]

SCENE 7. (FIELD – AFTERNOON)

KIRAN
[KIRAN walks through the field, she
looks around and there is no
farmers work in their field
anymore]

[Suddenly, KIRAN stopping in the

place where RICO died]

[Sad, confuse, angry, crying,

speaks, shouts]

Now, the fields are empty, the farmers mourn

their sorrow. It‟s so hard to fight against
people who have big power. Money can control
everything, the law protect money, we lost our
right, and they kill our humanity. Who do I call?
We‟re just a poor people who have no power. Who
do I call? If the law not saving me? Is this the
consequence? Or is it how the law works? Who‟s going
to save us? Where do I could find justice? In hell
or in heaven?
Now, we are one in everlasting peace!
[KIRAN lie down in the ground while
the birds are singing for her]

THE END.
