ACT I: CHIVALRY / SCENE 1: ON ICE

(Lights on)

(The huge curtain opens, in opposite directions)

(Lights off)

(A slow music plays on the background while the spotlight focused on the female protagonist, 18 years old.)

Giselle Lambert is sitting on a well-furnished chair next to the window. Looking high above, watching the stars fall, while an airplane is passing by crossing the dark clouds.

Rain starts to fall. (With the sound of the rain mixed with thunder and lightning effect)

A boy of a tuxedo, plain black trouser and a pair of black leather shoes came. He is using an umbrella also with the same color. Markus Sander, his name. Examining him, he must be a maharlika. With that aura, he can easily be determined as one of them. They are the people who has a specific role in the society higher than the girl who is simply living her life plain.

Markus:
(literally, looked up on Giselle)
Like the flower that blooms
You easily caught my attention
A sunshine to my eyes
A sound of music whispering to my little ears
May I know your name, mademoiselle?

Giselle:
(raised her right eyebrow)
Hey mister! I am sorry.
You know, I am not an easy catch.
So back off.

Markus:
Sorry! Huh? What a lovely name, lady
Pleasure is all mine, nice meeting you
You sound challenging, not an easy catch
Then you must be thrilled.

Giselle:
Haven’t you heard what I have just said
I said, “back off boy!”
I have no time for this
I have no time for love

Markus:
Love? You overreacted my intention
Anticipating to the nth power
Sounds you’re careful
What a modern, Maria Clara.

Giselle:
Sheesh...

The young lady decided to walk away. She was on her way leaving Markus until...

Markus:
Wait, I don’t want to scare you
But please, can you listen to me first?
I have pure intentions
With my little fragile heart

Giselle:
You were horrible than what I think
Stop humiliating me, I’m not into this
You said you were fragile
But me, I am weak, broke and delicate

Then she walked out.

(Light fades, a moment)
