(Alex is standing in front of his gigantic mirror dressing up. He picks up his hair brush and freezes.)
Alex: (Excited.) Thank God. I think I've reached the climax, let me just go and propose to her before it is too late.
(MARTINS RESIDENCE.)
(Alex knocks the door.)
Alex: Anyone home?
(Matthew opens the door.)
Alex: How are you Matthew?
Matthew: (Worried.) Not fine at all.
Alex: (Becomes furious.) What is the problem?
Matthew: Celina has been kidnapped. We all have searched thoroughly for her.
Alex: What! Have you informed the police?
Matthew: That's what Dad wants to do now.
Alex: He has to do it quickly. (He enters hurriedly.)
Matthew: Alright. (Slams the door.)
Alex: How come?
Felicia: We don't know how it happened at all.
Alex: Who could have been behind all this?
Sandra: We do not understand what she would have done.
(Martins enters their midst angrily.)
Martins: Once we find her she will leave for Nigeria.
Alex: What?
Sandra: Christ.
Felicia: My goodness.
Andrew: Jehovah.
Matthew: How?
Martins: Don't bother yourself, she has given me a whole lot of headache since she came.
Matthew: Dad no, don't do this. (He begins to sob.)
Felicia: Will she come back to us again?
Martins: Who cares?
Alex: (Thinks.) How will I tell her I love her and I'm willing to get married to her, how? I have to find a way.
