HER
Episode 1
The thunder roars outside, rain pours heavily. Miji stands in the rain, expressionless, waiting and hopelss
Miji
He said he'll come...
He'll return.., right?
(shivers) it's just his sister, he'll come...
Phone buzzed in her pocket, she shaking reaches for it, a flicker of hope across her face as she sees the caller ID.
Neo
Find a way to come home, Bekka's cut is severe...
Miji
(goes quiet)....
But ... Neo!
I...where will I get a cab by this time of the ni...
Call ends abruptly...
Miji sighed looking up at the sky, hoping for some kind of miracle to bring him back.
Back at home,(Bekka's place).
Bekka smirks...
Bekka
Hmmph....
I won't let Neo leave no matter what you do Miji...
Bekka
(thinks deeply)
Neo belongs with me...
Bekka
(Startled by Neo's loud voice, she turns to look at him innocently, eyes wide)
Neo??? What's wrong??
Neo
I should be asking you that.
Are you hurt anywhere??
Episode 2
Bekka
What??
No... No....
I'm just worried about Miji...
(sighs with tears welling up in her eyes)
She's all alone out there and it's raining heavily...
I'll go bring her back!
Neo
(sighs seeing Bekka's sad expression)
You don't have to feel sorry for her, it's her fault you got hurt...
Any way you're right, I'll go pick her up, you just stay here and rest, call me if anything happens.
Back at home, little Ian sat on floor of his room crying for his mom, who promised to be back soon but was nowhere to be seen yet.
Mrs. Reynolds had tried all she could to make him stop crying...
She could only let his Nanny deal with him, as she stands by the side glaring at the crying child.
Ian
Mama!
Mama!!
I want mama!!!
Nanny Aan
Ian!
mom will be home soon..
Stop crying or your head will hurt and mom won't be happy to see that....
Mrs. Renolds
(glares at them)
It doesn't matter if your mom doesn't return..
I hope she doesn't!
Nanny Aan looks up startled and stunned by her words, she pulled Ian into her arms and covered his ears tightly as she watched Mrs Renolds storm out of the room.
Ian
(sniffles)(looks at Aan)
Nana... Will mama be home soon?
Nanny Aan
Yes Ian, she will be home soon , okay?
It's still raining so heavily, the thunder roared, Nanny Aan hold Ian tightly looking out the window....
Nanny Aan
Where could madam be???
Episode 3
The thunder roared, lightning flashed in the sky...
Miji stood soaked in the rain, head lowered, confused if it was just the rain or tears on her face.
She sighed taking a slow step forward stumbling in the process, her vision blurry.
Miji
How long is this going to keep happening?
How long will I be able to go on??
Bekka
Today is Ian's birthday, if I'm not wrong, they'll be out to get gifts for Ian... Together!!!!
I can't let it happen!
Neo
(phone rings)
Bekky????
Miji
Neo, is everything alright?
Miji
You look worried( stares)
Neo
(picks the phone)
Bekka?
Bekka
(smirks then whimpers)
Neo, I don't know what happened, but I cut my fingers, and it hurts so much!!!!!
Miji
(slowly turns to look at him, heart sinks)
Miji again........
(tries hard to fight back the tears)
Neo
(speaks softly)
Hold on I'll be there soon, okay, Bekka?
Miji
(heart breaking)
He's never like this with me?
Neo
(turns to Miji, stares coldly)
Get down.
Neo
Don't make me repeat myself!
Get down!
Miji
But it's raining and it's impossible to get a taxi here, how am I supposed to get home?
Ian, what about him, he's waiting for us...
Neo
Take the gifts with you give it to him yourself, tell him I'm busy.
Neo
Get down or I drag you out myself!
Miji
(Stares helplessly and slowly gets down)
will you come back?
I'll wait here...
Neo
Probably, if I don't, walk...
Neo
(drives away, but glances at her through the side mirror)
Miji
(stares at the car going further, tears finally finding it's way down)
