in the coffee house to join the other friends who are already waiting in the
coffee house)
Fiqah: Hey girls!
Looks like all of you are already here… hmm...May I have all your attention,
please? (flirty kind of body gestures).(pause).I heard that one of our friends
is going to get married soon. Is that true?
Suriana: (annoying
looks). What makes you turn up late today? and yes, actually two of them, Anna
and Dianne. They have decided to get married on the same day..well...if there
is no changes, that would be next month.
Fiqah: What???
(shock, yet excited look + body
gestures)
Nurul: Don’t you know
that we are all invited for their wedding reception? I wonder what concept that
they will choose for their wedding reception.
Muriah: If I’m not
mistaken, the concept is written somewhere in the invitation card. (gloomy
look)
Yumiko: (standing,
start to walk around her friends). I don’t mind to go for another round of
shopping to get new dress for myself. I want to make sure that I look awesome
with my make-up and attire. Yay!
Fiqah: Yea..
right..Hope you don’t repeat the same mistake like last time. Do you guys still
remember her make-up during Suriana’s birthday party last year? Yew…that was too
much,okay!
Yumiko: Okay,fine!
Whatever. (return to her place)
Suriana:
Girls..behave2..(pause)..uuuu..look, there’s a handsome waiter coming toward
our table.
(all the girls turn
their head to see the waiter)
Waiter: Miss, can I
take your order now? (polite/gentleman voice)
Nurul: ehem2..can I
have…..one orange juice, one sandwiches and one half-boil egg…hehe..I’m on
diet. Thanks.
Fiqah: diet? Since
when, Nurul? (pause).haaa..(wink at the waiter)
Nurul: (slap Nurul’s
hand and do silent sign)..enough Fiqah..(smile at the waiter)
Waiter: What about
the rest? On diet too? (smile)
Suriana and Muriah:
no!
Suriana: Excuse me,
sir. I want a cup of cappuccino and pancake. How about you, Muriah?
Muriah: I’m still
full after having my breakfast at home this morning..(facing the waiter,smile
and turn around her head)..No, thanks. (suddenly
standing). Girls, I just remember that I haven’t bought the birthday present
for my mom. I think I need to make a move now…hmm.. Fiqah, I thought of going
to Midvalley later. Would you like to accompany me?
Fiqah: Midvalley?
Sure!but… taxi fares on you,okay?
Muriah:hmm..okay2..
Scene 2:
Midvalley Megamall.
Narrator: (both of
them entering Midvalley’s entrance). Suddenly..
Fiqah: watch out, Muriah.
(Muriah holding a can
drink, bump with a guy and fall down)
Ramlan:
ouch..(touching his shirt)…my shirt..my favourite shirt..argh!
Muriah:
(shock).(sigh)..what a day.(sad face)..sorry2..
Ramlan: Where’s your
eye? Don’t you know how much is this shirt?
Fiqah: On behalf of
my friend, we are sorry for that. Please forgive her.
Muriah:sorry….
(another guy walking
towards them)
Allen: wowo…two
pretty ladies..oh Ramlan..what happen to your shirt?
Ramlan:argh! Forget
it. (quickly walks away)
Allen: Eh..Wait..ehem2…Excuse
me, ladies. This is my name card. Feel free to call,okay? adieu.
(pause)
Fiqah: Why? What
happen? Are you okay? Don’t scare me. (direct Muriah to a corner)
Muriah: Actually, I’m
having financial problem right now. The company that I’m working now is having
some kind of authority corruption problem. It’s almost three months that I
haven’t received my salary. I can’t quit from the company as I’m still having
another five years of contract with the company.
Fiqah: Really? Oh..I
didn’t know that. I feel sorry for you.
Muriah: It’s okay,
Fiqah. (walking away slowly and Fiqah follows)
Fiqah: There must be
something else on your mind just now. Would you like to share it with me? (stop
Muriah from walking further and sit at a corner)
Muriah: It’s about
Anna & Dianne’s wedding reception. I don’t think I can make it if I’m still
not getting my salary. I’m not keen enough to ask for money from my parents
just for the sake of buying air ticket to and fro from Kota Kinabalu to KL and
other expenses or pocket money so that I can attend their wedding ceremony. As you know, I still have two brothers who are
currently studying in university. (sigh)
Fiqah:owh.I
see..(pause) (thinking) (smiling)
Muriah:Fiqah..Hey Fiqah..(waving
hand in front of Fiqah’s face) Are you dreaming? ehem2.. Haa..You must be still
thinking about the guy just now, right? (giggle) (mimicking). “This is my name
card. Feel free to call, okay?”
Fiqah: (blushing +
laughing).. Nonsense.. (both laughing)
Muriah: Anyway. Let’s
get back to our main business. We come here to get my mom a birthday present,
remember?
Fiqah: Owh..I thought
your just giving an excuse to avoid from our conversation with the others?
Muriah: What??? Excuse
me!
Fiqah: Relax Muriah..Chill..I’m
just joking.Come, let’s take a move.
Muriah: hmm..Let’s
go.
Scene 3: Fiqah’s
house
Narrator: (The next day,
Fiqah arrange a meeting with her 3 other friends to address Muriah’s dilemma.)
Yumiko: Sorry for not
picking up your phone call last night. I’m having candle light dinner with my
husband. Luckily I read the message that you’ve sent to me, Fiqah.
Suriana: huhu...I’m
so envy of u, Yumiko.
Fiqah: It’s okay.
Suriana: (clumsy:
something fell down)…Sorry2..aiyoo..sorry…….
Nurul: Haish..Suriana..be
careful next time. Luckily it didn’t drop on my feet. Otherwise, you’ll spoil
my nail polish.
Suriana: Again Nurul..
(annoying look)
Fiqah: Ok girls.
Sorry for interrupting. Actually, I’ve something to ask for your opinion.
Suriana: What is it?
(x2) (excited). You’re going to end your bachelor status as well? (wink)
Nurul: Can you be a
little bit patience? Let her finish with her talking.
Narrator: (Fiqah
explains the actual scenario faced by Muriah and asking for their opinion on
how to lend her a hand to ease her difficulties. Finally, they come out with an
agreement and start off with their mission to help her.)

later..

(Postman slowly left

Muriah:hmm.. I wonder

Oh my gracious God..an air ticket…and
also a cheque?
Wait a minute. The sender of this cheque
seems familiar.. Girandran??errr..haaaa...

Yumiko’s husband. (pause)..oh...no3...impossible..(shocking head)
hmm..I think I should call her to
clarify this thing.
Muriah: Hello..Yumiko..errr..I
just want to know..I’ve received a cheque which your husband’s
name written as the sender.
Yumiko: Yup. That’s right.
Surprise! It’s for you Muriah. It will be quite sad if you’re not able to join
us to attend the wedding reception. hmm..
Muriah: I (pause) but
why Yumiko? It’s a large amount of money. I can’t accept it. And by the way,
how do you know about my financial problem?
Yumiko: well…doesn’t
matter about that. (singing) “Cause that what friend are supposed to do..oh
yeah…Hu (x11)..yeah(x4)…”
