girl
Nothing much but anyway (pushes the gift bag to him)
boy
(confused) what is this?
the boy opens the bag to find two gift boxes each decorated with white polka dots and enclosed with white ribbons. As he opened it,he found one of them with couple necklaces that were replicas of the Chinese Ying and Yang. The second box had two Rolex watches that were blue in color and the rim of the screens were covered with black crystals.
girl
Your birthday gift. If I remember well, you told me that what you wanted
girl
(in a sad tone) I know those were to be ours but you can give it to your new girlfriend...I forgot her name.
boy
( with a look of guilt in his face) H...How did you know?
boy
(looks down to avoid her gaze) I..I'm sorry
girl

girl

boy

girl
but can I ask you a quick question?
girl
you said you'd tell me if you ever lost interest cuz you know how much I hate being kept in the dark , so.... what made you try to hide the truth from me?
girl

boy
(about to stop her but hesitates)
girl
( wiping the spilled ice cream of her blouse) Good bye. please do consider this our last encounter
boy
( holds her hand) wait! At least tell me why you're gifting me even though I treated you bad
girl
( with back towards him as tears start forming) Cuz, I have a habit of wanting what I can't have (wipes her tears) but not anymore. Good bye. ( shoves his hand off and walks away)
