ACT II: CHANGED / SCENE 3: A SLIGHT CONFRONTATION

(Car horns honking from the outside)

Giselle looked outside through the window panes while still holding the phone on her palm with distinct chatters on the phone.

(Honking continues)

The guard immediately opened the gate upon hearing the disgusting noise.

But after a moment, Markus opened the door forcefully creating a very loud noise inside the house.

Markus:
(in a deep tone)
I forgot something...

Giselle:
What?

Markus:
My phone!

Giselle:
What brand is that? I thought it is an iPhone? Are you using the local brand now?

Giselle was trying to make fun of the moment to make it lighter by throwing a joke, but at the end, Markus just ignored it. It didn’t make sense!

Markus:
(forcing his laughter)
ha-ha-ha

Giselle:
What’s funny?

Markus:
I thought it was a joke.

Giselle:
(remembers the call earlier)
Who is this big ‘A’?
Probably, she miscalled her contact, she calls you babe.

Markus:
(stuttering)
A-a-ah, may be, yeah surely.

He grabbed the phone on Giselle and ended the so-called miscalled according to her but Markus knew that it was more than being just miscalled. Well, Giselle didn’t know anything, she was clueless for what was happening.

Giselle:
Ah-okay, no need to rush.

(Phone ringing)

Markus declined the call.

Giselle:
Oh c’mon, answer it and tell her that she is calling the wrong number.

Markus:
No need. I’m going. Bye.

Giselle:
Have you forgotten something?

Markus:
Something? I don’t.

Giselle:
You sure? Remember the thing?

Markus:
You know what, I am insanely late!
If this is about the kiss, okay okay.

He moved near to Giselle and kissed her cheeks and a quick one directly on her lips.

Giselle:
(talking to herself, using her mind only)
Okay, he forgot it.
Happy 12th anniversary, hon.

(The light fades out)

(A jazz music plays on the background)

(The next props must be assembled on the stage)
