AT DRINAYE's ROOM:

Alexa and Imelda had carefully made Holoi wear her Ponka. A knock on the door is heard outside the room door and it's Drinaye, Levine. The two men have boxes in their hands but Drinaye's own is extremely dusty like though he had gotten it from an unkept store

ALEXA: You May open.

Drinaye opens the door and sees Holoi dressed in her beautifully made Ponka. He admires it on her with a 3 minutes gaze.

ALEXA: When you are done staring at your wife to be, you may tell us why you have brought boxes to us

Drinaye releases his eyes off his gaze in embarrassment. He seats next to Holoi with boxes in his hands

DRINAYE: Mum said I should give you this

HOLOI: (Surprised) What is it?

Drinaye blows off the dust and it spreads all over the room and into Holoi's nose. She starts coughing, wheezing, having tightness in the chest and difficulty getting enough air. Alexa, Drinaye, Levine and Imelda all get scared

ALEXA: (Scared) What did you do to her?

At the nick of time, Seth and Dandre happened to be passing at that time. They hear fearful shouts coming from Drinaye's room and enter. They see their girl having an asthma attack. Seth immediately attends to her and Dandre throws tantrums at Drinaye when he realizes Drinaye was the one who blew the dust

SETH: (Scared) Holoi?

He runs towards her and seats her up

SETH: (Scared) Where's your inhaler?

Drinaye, Levine, Alexa and Imelda are lost. Holoi barely answers Seth but he runs to her bag on the bed and brings out her inhaler. He then makes Holoi puff it

DANDRE: (Worried) How did this happen?

ALEXA: (Scared) She just started coughing, wheezing, having tightness in the chest and difficulty getting enough air as soon as Drinaye blew off the dust from the box

Dandre in anger holds Drinaye's collar

DANDRE: (Angry) What if she had died?! Couldn't you have been more careful? Why did you do this?

DRINAYE: (Panics) I just came to give her this historical jewelry my mother gifted her

DANDRE: (Angrily) This girl is my life! Do you know what would have happened because of your stupidity?!

All present tried to release Drinaye from Dandre's grip

LEVINE: Please leave my elder brother alone.

SETH: Let him go Danny

HOLOI: Danny

Dandre releases his grip in anger

SETH: I am sorry but my sister has asthma. She probably developed the attack when she inhaled the dust

ALEXA: (Worried) Asthma?

DRINAYE: I did not know about it. I would have been more careful

DANDRE: (Angry) You are a freaking Adult! You should have used your initiative and been more careful! She could have died you know!

HOLOI: (Quietly) Danny I am fine, please stop scolding him

Dandre angrily walks and seats beside Holoi. He is seen caressing her hair in worry and hydrating her with glass water

DRINAYE: You have got to believe me, I did not know Holoi is asthmatic.

SETH: (Sadly) Asthmatic and Claustrophobic
