Reine: That is true.

Indyati: Now we continue, we take a photo box for new memories.

Reine: Sorry. I think, I would go home first and could not join the next agenda.

Anne: why?

Indyati: today we want to let go of our longing that we haven't gathered for a long time.

Reine: I have another important agenda.

Anne: What?

Reine: Sorry

Indyati: Oke, let's take a photo box Anne

(Reine walked away leaving Anne and Indyati. Anne was surprised by Reine who was concerned with other matters in the middle of the gathering and had an earlier appointment.)

Reine: No.

Indyati: Suddenly there will be an agenda like yesterday with your boyfriend.

Reine: Sorry for yesterday.

Indyati: (Annoyed) I didn't expect you to b like that.you are more concerned with your boyfriend than me and Anne, even though we haven't been together for a long time and you are even more concerned with your boyfriend? Even though, we already had a appointment earlier.

Reine: Why do you overdo it like that?

Indyati: You say this is too much? (Upset tone)

Reine: what's wrong? I want to go with my boyfriend.

Indyati:  you are selfish. You care more about your interests with your boyfriend than us. We rarely get together, and walk together, but you just ruined it!

Reine: I don't want a small problem to be big (in a lazy tone)

Indyati: You are not just this once, but many times behave like that. Try to think about it!!

Reine: Okay (feeling annoyed)

(Reine went home upset, she was not aware of what she was doing. Indyati only wantsReine to realize the change, Indyati does not want the friendship to be broken only one problem is to selfishness)

SCENE FOUR

A quiet night, Reine pondered the words of Indyati.....

I was selfish; I was more concerned with my boyfriend. I shouldn't have left yesterday, I could have schedule another time. They are friends and relatives who are always there for me,but I just changed because of my selfishness. I have to apologize to Anne and Indyati.
