At Noel's House (8:pm)
Sherry: (cheerfully practising her lines given by the producer) 🎶🎶🎶🎶 (she heard a knock on the door and goes to check it out) Hello
Delivery guy: Hello! Here your pizza. Please sign.
Sherry: Pizza? I didn't ordered for it.
Noel:(screams from inside) I did.
Sherry: ohh! (Collects it)Thanks (about to close the door when the guy interrupted)
Delivery guy: Miss! You haven't made payment!
Sherry: Payment?
Delivery: Hm..
Sherry: Fine then I'll scan you.
Delivery guy: Hmm.. About that, our system is bad so could you offer cash?
Sherry: I don't have. Wait I'll ask Mr Noel. (She goes in to give him the pizza in his room) Do you have cash?
Noel: No! I don't keep cash only on rare cases
Sherry: You..How could you order pizza without having any cash?
Noel: Scan him!
Sherry: (goes back to the delivery guy) Hmm..How about I follow you to make some withdrawal? (To Noel) I'm going with him to make cash payment.
Noel:(from inside) Okay!
Sherry: Let's go!
Delivery guy: Okay! (She goes out to with him.....After a while, she dismissed the pizza guy. And as she was about going home, she ran into a little kid who seemed to have lost his way home, and the kid pleased with her to take him home)
Kid: Aunt! Do you know where my mother went?
Sherry: No! Are you looking for her?
Kid:(nods) Hm. Mom told me to wait, but she didn't come back.
Sherry: Oh! Well where did she go after that?
Kid: She promised to buy me ice cream today since it's my birthday, but she couldn't buy it earlier. So she decided to go out to buy it now. I've waited for her, and she hasn't come back so do you know here she went?
Sherry: No! Do you want Aunt to help you find your mom?
Kid: (nods) Hm.
Sherry: Then let's go. (They searched around for like 30 minutes, with the kid leading Sherry to all the placed he had been to with his mom, but still couldn't find his mother. Suddenly the weather changed, and the rain started to pour) My Goodness! Why Is it raining suddenly? Kid let's wait here, we'll search for your mom later okay?
Kid: Okay!
.
MEANWHILE
Noel at his house was bothering about Sherry not being back yet. He check the time, it was already pass 9 and she wasn't back. He Called her phone it was not available, then he decided to go out to search for her himself.
Back at the scene of Sherry and the kid
Kid: Aunty! I'm cold!
Sherry: What? Oh! (She removes her jacket and wraps the kid in it, not minding that she herself will be affected by the cold she holds the child and tried to give him warmth, while enduring the cold. They stayed like that for another 5 mintues, and the rain countined to pour) Kid! Hold on, we'll soon leave here okay? (Seconds later, the wind started to blow heavily, and roofs of buildings started to pull off, and the rain became more dangerous than it was. The place in which Sherry was hiding, was no longer a shelter, because the rain could now reach her.)
MEANWHILE
As Noel was driving, he got stuck in traffic, he tried reaching Sherry again, but still unavailable. So he then decided to leave the car and search for her.... He searched for a while but still couldn't find her.
While at Sherry's side, she holds the child tightly, even though the rain was pouring at her, she was determined to protect the child at all cause. Her only wish was to get home safely, and to leave the cold dark place she was hiding. Soon Sherry felt like the heavy rain was no longer pouring on her, it was like an umbrella had been placed on her...she raised her head to see who it was, and she was surprised to see Brother Ning holding an umbrella over her head.
Sherry: (stands up) Brother Ning! Why are you here?
Ning: Are you okay? Noel called me, he said you were missing and I should help him search. Come let's get out of here. (He lifts the child up, and started to leave together with Sherry. They finally got to the place his car was packed, which was somewhere close by. He removed his suit and wore it on Sherry) Don't catch a cold.
Sherry: Thank you Brother Ning.
Ning: Don't mention.
Sherry: Brother Ning were is Mr Noel?
Ning: He was worried about you, so he didn't wait for the traffic to end, he went looking for you. And I don't know where he is now. I'll call him.
Sherry: No! Don't worry. Brother Ning please take care of him for me(referring to the kid) I was the reason Mr Noel had to go out in the heavy rain, I'll go look for him now.
Ning: Don't are you crazy? You'll get wet again.
Sherry: But I still have to look for him. (she removes his suit and drops it) just help me take him home. (she opens the door And left! She runs around looking for Noel! And finally saw him, Squatting in the rain) Mr Noel!
Noel: (who was frustrated that he wasn't able to find Sherry, was squatting hopelessly. But as soon as he heard her call his name, he turned to look and was both Happy and Surprise to see her.)
Sherry:(Ran to him) Mr Noel! Are you okay? Let's get out of here (she drags his hand, and they run down to where she had left Ning earlier but he had already gone. Then Noel took her hands instead, and they ran down to where his car was packed. They both sat down panting since they ran all the way down. Then suddenly Noel's range rised) You..How could you not answer my call?
Sherry: My phone is back at the house.
Noel: What? Which girl goes out without there phones? Do you even use your brain? What if you were in danger how would you have coped?
Sherry: See who's talking would I have gone out if you didn't order for Pizza?
Noel: So you're blaming me? Look I'm all wet because of you .
Sherry: I didn't ask you to come look for me did i?
Noel: Yes! You didn't. Sorry for coming to look for you. It's my mistake (He starts the car and few minutes later they get home, Ning was already there, and Noel was shocked to see the little kid! He gave a hard glance to Ning who pointed at Sherry and few minutes later they were all seating inside the house with Noel starring angrily at Sherry, who didn't dare to look at his gaze) So let me understand this, after you made payments, you decided to help the kid search for his unknown mom, and you got stucked in the rain right?
Sherry:Yes!
Noel: Are you insane? What if the kid was some kind of trap?
Sherry: Trap?
Noel: Don't you know that alot of criminals use kids nowadays to lure preys?
Kid: I'm not a criminal! I'm in search for mother.
Noel: Kid what's your name?
Kid: Xuan!
Noel: Xuan?
Xuan: Yes! Meaning season of springs originated from Vietnamese.
Noel: Fine! I didn't ask you for all that. Tell me why did you approach this aunty?
Xuan: To help me search for Mom.
Noel: why her? There were so many people on the street.
Xuan: But Only this aunty seemed nice.
Noel: Well doesn't matter anymore, now I just have to walk for the rain to stop so I can take you back.
Sherry: What? You want to keep him in the street alone?
Noel: what? Should I allow him stay here?
Sherry: Can't he stay here for a night? We'll look for his mother Tomorrow.
Noel: Tomorrow is work.
Sherry: Can't you give me an off?
Noel: I don't know.
Ning: Although you guys just got married newly, you actually fight like older couples. Anyways I'm leaving now I can't stay here with you guys. Bye
Noel:(in a carefree manner) Bye bye.
