Noel makes a cup of coffee for Sherry and Xuan!
Noel: Here! Have some coffee, it will help you warm up
Sherry: Thanks. (Focuses on Xuan who seemed a bit down) Xuan! Don't worry, we'll find your mother soon okay?
Xuan: Okay.
Sherry: (hugs him) Good boy. (Noel who was just sitting watching them, smiled) Xuan! Are you sleepy?
Xuan: I'll take you to my room.
Noel:(stood up) What? Are you going to sleep with him?
Sherry: am I suppose to sleep with you?
Noel: No! But it's wrong. He's just a kid, he shouldn't sleep with an adult.
Sherry: What are you saying? You're right, he's just a kid, so what harm could he cause? Besides, I won't devour him.
Noel: Still inappropriate. Give him to me, I'll sleep with him m that's more appropriate
Sherry: What's inappropriate and appropriate about this, he's just a kid. Besides your Actions will make him more insecure
Noel: In case you've forgotten I'm the house owner, and also your Superior so I get to make all the decisions. Besides you seem so happy having this kid here, do you like kids that much?
Sherry: So what if I like them, what? Will you let him stay with me then?
Noel: No! Instead I'll give you one.
Sherry: (shocked by his statement.) What do you mean?(she uses her hands to cross herself) Don't you dare touch me.
Noel:(who also felt shocked by what he had said) I didn't mean it that way. Don't misunderstand me.
Sherry: Then how did you mean it?
Noel: Forget it, just do whatever you like. (She quickly drags Xuan and leaves. And she sighed) Why did I say sure an embarrassing thing.(he sits down on the chair) But it's nothing wrong, besides it's part of our contract. So it wouldn't be so bad. Besides she'll have to give me a child sooner or later. (He suddenly shakes his head as if trying to get rid of that thought) the more I think of it, the more weird it is. (He closes his eyes to sleep. Few hours later, as he was sleeping, he suddenly had a horrible dream, in that dream, two men appeared to be quarreling, and one suddenly stomped out, driving in the dark high ways, the man was on a very high speed and before knowing it, he suddenly got brushed out of the lane down through the hills below. And the dream continues, Noel starts screaming out loud. And Sherry from her room heard it and ran to wake him up. As soon as she woke him up, he grabbed her into a hug, hugging her tightly while panting and swearing heavily)
Sherry: It's okay, it was a nightmare. (She pants him on his back) Don't be afraid. I'm here.
Noel: Don't leave.
Sherry: I won't.
Noel: Don't go.(he hugs her Even more tightly, while she continued to pant his back..)
Lights out
Next scene. (Early that morning)
Sherry for the first time woke up earlier than Noel, she got prepare made breakfast, and left with Xuan in search for his mother
Noel:(who finally woke up, was surprised to see the house empty, and his breakfast already served, he walked up to the table and saw the note that Sherry had kept for him he read it and smile. He sat down to eat his breakfast. Then suddenly the memory of him hugging Sherry last night came into his head slowly and he was clothed with embarrassment. He started to think that, Sherry must have left early in order to avoid him. He left the table and got dress for work)
As soon as he was done, he saw Kalvin waiting outside for him. Seemed like he had finally resumed his work.
Kalvin: Morning! Boss
Noel: (surprised) Boss?
Kalvin: Hm..Well actually I'm quite tired of always calling you Mr Noel so from now on, I'll call you Boss.
Noel:(smiles) Seems like you enjoyed your break.
Kalvin: Yes! Thank you Boss.
Noel: Okay let's go to the office.
Kalvin: But what about Miss?
Noel: she left early she isn't going to the company today.
Kalvin: Oh! Okay. (While driving) So Boss, how are you enjoying your marriage life?
Noel: Don't ask, it's horrible.
Kalvin: Why?
Noel: Don't worry you won't understand even I tell you.
Kalvin: Marriage troubles?
Noel: We're not even a couple but we fight most times like real couples. I seriously just want to live together with her happily, but she always finds a way to blame me.
Kalvin: Boss, are you sure you don't usually make her annoyed?
Noel: What do you mean? Are you taking her side?
Kalvin: Of course not.
Noel: Good
