KILAWEN’S DAUGHTER : “I know you wrote their letters”.
KID BUNTAL’S SON: “They are my friends”.
KILAWEN’S DAUGHTER : “Why don’t you write for yourself?”.
KID BUNTAL’S SON: “For whom?”.
KILAWEN’S DAUGHTER: “For me…”.
Silence. The lizard watching them from the ceiling suddenly darted towards an idling mosquito. The mosquito vanished.
KID BUNTAL’S SON: “Your brother will kill me”.
KILAWEN’S DAUGHTER: “This is about us not him”.
KID BUNTAL’S SON: “He’s my best friend. You know that”.
KILAWEN’S DAUGHTER: “I am his sister. He will understand”.
KID BUNTAL’S SON: “I will be a traitor. I slept in your house, ate from your table.”
She looked away to the window. Her eyes gleamed. The lizard looked at them intently.
KID BUNTAL’S SON: “We will be tormented”.
He reached for her hand. She moved closer and leaned on his shoulder. Their hearts are racing fast. He kissed her. The lizard fell to the floor.
