(Alex and Mariana are seen in Port market holding hands, with a lot of polythene bags and both of them are walking together. Alex is dressed up so handsome, also Mariana with her high heels and short gown. They meet a woman selling dress.)
MARIANA
Alex, look these dresses are very beautiful, I want some.
ALEX
My money has almost finished, next time we come here, I promise I will buy you these dresses.
MARIANA
Alex my love, my sweet heart. I trust you.
ALEX
Mariana my mother called me to come home, no worry next time I will stay longer with you, don't be offended.
MARIANA
Once again your mother succeeded in spoiling our time together, when will all this stop?
ALEX
As soon as we get married. Bye for now
MARIANA
See you tomorrow.
ALEX
I have to go. (He stops a motorcycle which he enters and zooms home. He meets Sandra knocking his gate.)
SANDRA
Good afternoon Alex.
ALEX
What are you doing here? Why are you knocking my gate? I never invited you here so leave.
SANDRA
Please I came to see your mother to help...
ALEX
(Cuts in abruptly.) So you've come to tell her sweet words to make her fall for your tricks, never.
SANDRA
No my love I...
ALEX
I'm not your love and I'll never be, you hear that. Who knows if it is your witchcraft that is causing me to have all this nightmares and dreams I've been having.
SANDRA
Which nightmare? Why didn't you tell me? The reverend father would have helped.
ALEX
Stop pestering me, I told you I do not love you, please stop pestering me.
(Mary gets the gate and sees the both of them talking to each other.)
MARY
Any problem?
ALEX
Yes. The problem is the thing standing in front of our gate. It would be very nice if she can just leave this neighbourhood now.
SANDRA
Alright, I will leave instantly.
MARY
(To Sandra.) You said you will help me to cut the vegetables, come in don't mind Alex. He is just afraid to tell you that he loves you.
ALEX
Mother stop this, I have warned you to stop, and you know I don't like it. I do not love her.
MARY
Come inside Sandra.
SANDRA
(She enters the compound.) I do not want to cause crisis in this home please.
MARY
No worry my daughter, you've been a very kind girl indeed, God will bless you.
