MALANDING ISTORYA: Fast Destiny Lane (One Act Play)

Tagpo
Sa dingding ng condominium. Matatapat sa unit ng isang dilag ang isang binatang nagrerepaint ng building walls.

Mini Back Story
Kikay, 21 taon, maganda, mataray, tamang landi, may chocolate business, may malungkot na nakaraan

Lehan, 21 taon,  pogi, singer sa isang bar, sumasideline sa pagpintura ng dingding ng mga buildings

Yugto
Kikay: See? I told you! You should have finished preparing the chocolates the other day. I will check the boxes later in the afternoon. No. You have to wait for me before doing anything. Yes. Yes. If ever they called again and insist on immediate delivery, give them my..

Lehan (sings): I wanna make you smile when you're feeling sad.. put you to bed when your athritis' bad

Kikay: per.. (looks outside looking for origin of the singing voice) my.. per..sonal number. Tin? Wait. Pardon. Come again? (Attention turns to the singing voice) Who's singing?? (Attention turns back to the line) What? Pardon?.. Hello. Tin. Hello? (Other line hanged up) Shit. (Puts down phone)

Lehan (continues singing)

Kikay: Excuse me? Ahem. Ahem.

Lehan: You talking to me?

Kikay: Who else?

Lehan: Oh. Hi, miss beautiful.

Kikay: May I know why you are singing in this time of the day? You're voice was so loud! You even crashed my network signal! (raises her phone) Didn't you know how important tha..

Lehan: ..singing in this time of the day is therapeutic. FYI.

Kikay: Excuse me?

Lehan: Well, if you got problems, say, having a hard time dealing with the heat of the sun, just sing! Sing to tear the bad vibes all to pieces.

Kikay: Wow. Thank you! (smiling sarcastically) Very informational, huh.

Lehan: You're welcome! (gesturing like a servant saying, 'Yes, Your Highness')

Kikay: Okay.. (feeling weird about the compassion and strangeness of Lehan) Now, could you..

Lehan: Whatever you say, miss beautiful! I would do. *sings* i'll do it for you.

Kikay: Oh really? (looking annoyed)

Lehan: *sings* Cause every little thing you..

Kikay: (speaking fast, shouting) Now could you fuck off?!

TWO SECONDS SILENCE

Lehan stopped, left his mouth hanging open, surprised of the loud, shaking to anger voice.

Kikay went back to her room irritated.

Lehan: (eyes wide open) Shit. A monster behind a pretty face. *sings* The handsome (pointing to himself) and the beast (pointing to Kikay). Hey, lady.. (called to Kikay) you.. you.. wait up..

Kikay: What?! (sharp with an eyebrow-raise)

Lehan: *sings* ..don't you walk away.

Kikay: What the..

Lehan: *sings* You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife... You could..

Kikay: Hey, hey. Wait. How come you.. No. You don't know the story of my life. Stop singing as if i've been long clinging to you. Alright? Or if you do know my story... shit. From whoever you got it, stop.. stop lecturing me! Stop repeating those.. (getting teary-eyed) words.. in my.. head.

ONE SECOND SILENCE

Kikay: If only I've been more careful. If only I pulled myself off of his arms. If only I've been strong enough to let him live inside and outside me. (cries) If o..

Lehan: (looking blankly at Kikay) Wait. Wait, my lady. I don't know anything. But by your words... have you undergone abortion? (Kikay cries loudly) Were you left by your boyfriend? Were you raped? (Kikay cried louder)

Lehan: *sings* Don't cry little one. Make a wish for each sad little tear.

Lehan: Come on, lady. Move on. Life's got a better purpose for you.

Kikay: Yeah. (stands up wiping her tears) You're right.

Lehan: Get a life! Get a new heart!

Kikay: (Suddenly remembered her chocolates) My chocolates!

Lehan: Perhaps, get me! (Kikay stopped and looked at Lehan) *sings* I know we could happen.. cause you know that i've been feeling you.. (sits on the fence  bragging Kikay's arm softly)

Lehan: *sings* I wanna make you smile.. whem your feeling sad..

Kikay is blushing but is playing hard-to-get.

Lehan: Put you to bed when your arthritis' bad.. (tickling Kikay)

Kikay giggled and bragged Lehan down inside the condo terrace.

Kikay: *sings* all i wanna do..


Lehan&Kikay: *sings* Is grow old with you.

They kissed and giggled and teased each one. Lehan puts wet paint on Kikay's face.

Lehan: *sings* Grow old with you.. (brings her in a newly-wed style inside the condo)

The scaffoldings where Lehan stands to paint walls.. made a cracking sound.. and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Lehan ran back to the terrace on neon pink briefs and saw paint splattered across the wall and railings. He looked below to the building ground and saw people circling broken woods and broken paint bucket. The worn out hemp swung to his nape.


Lehan: (scared) Shit.

Kikay: (followed Lehan in rush on the process of covering herself in a white bedsheet) Shit.

They hugged tight.

Lehan&Kikay: Shit. Shit.

They kissed again. They looked at each other and let out a quick laugh. They kissed again..this time playfully. They covered themselves with the same white bedsheet and walked back inside giggling.
