Bet- Love Games
Night Escapade
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
Did you reach there?
Alvi Solerno
No...not yet...A little higher.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
How come? Did you father elevate the wall?(laughs)
Alvi Solerno
Shut up. Someone might hear us.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
Why aren't your guards here?
Alvi Solerno
It's good that they ain't here.
Jasper is crouching down and Alvi is standing on him to climb the wall. She holds the top of the wall and jumps up standing over it.
Jasper is still crouching down.
Alvi Solerno
(whispers) Jazz....Jazz...Get up.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
What? Did you climb it?(looks up)
Alvi Solerno
Yes. Now get up
Jasper stands up and claps his hand to jerk off the dust.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
In the whole world only you could make me kneel down? So when are you marrying me?
Alvi Solerno
In your dreams.
Alvi Solerno
Anyways, sorry. Thank you.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
Anything for you, buddy.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
Now go down. Don't stand there for so long someone might notice.
Alvi Solerno
Okay! Bye. Good night.
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
Bri...are you okay?
Alvi gets up holding her knees.
Alvi Solerno
Ya...(in pain) I'm fine. I'm goin' inside
Jasper Olsen (Alvi's bestfriend)
Okay. Take care.
Alvi Solerno
Hmm. Text me when you get home.
Someone is watching all this quietly from the balcony.
Alvi gets inside the house from back door.
Alvi Solerno
(in her mind) <I've climbed the wall so many times still I fell this hard. Such a bad day.>
Alvi Solerno
<I shouldn't have drank>
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
Here you are finally.
Getting Caught
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
Here you are finally.
Alvi Solerno
Dad. It's so late why are you still up?
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
Oh! Atleast you know it's late.
Mrs Solerno is standing behind Mr Solerno quietly
Alvi Solerno
Of course I know that's why I am home.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
Where were you this late? Who were you with?
Alvi Solerno
I was out with Jazz.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
What happened to Dave?
Alvi Solerno
Now that's why I'm late. I don't want to go through this interrogation
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
TELL ME. What did you do?
Alvi Solerno
Did mama boy seriously complain to you?
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
(stares angrily)
Alvi Solerno
(sighs) I'll tell this even to you. I'm not interested in Dave or any blind date.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
You behaved rudely with him and walked out with a guy.
Alvi Solerno
That guy is Jazz...
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
Why did behave like that with Dave? Does your mother teach you this?
Mrs Solerno(Alvi's step-mother)
STOP IT... It's late. Let's talk tomorrow ( clutching on Mr Solerno's hand)
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
(turns to leave)
Alvi Solerno
I'll answer your questions. Let's not wait till tomorrow (angrily)
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
(turns toward Alvi)
Alvi Solerno
Dave is dumb.I'll say no more about him.
Alvi Solerno
I walked out with Jazz to actually show him I'm way out of his league.
Alvi Solerno
I was rude. I give what I get. Fair and square rule. That dumbo wants a pet not a girlfriend. Send him to a pet shop instead of a coffee shop.
Mrs Solerno(Alvi's step-mother)
Alvi, sweetie. It's enough for today. We get it.
Alvi Solerno
No, the last one. Please let me answer it.
Alvi Solerno
(stares at her father) My mother couldn't teach me as she wasn't there.I don't have to continue with the reasoning.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
(gets angrier)
Alvi Solerno
(walking away)
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
Why don't you go to her then?
Alvi Solerno
Fine. I'll do that. (Doesn't even wait and barges into her room)
Hearing Alvi's words, it hits Mr Solerno what just happened. He feels his world collapsing but he walks to his room quietly and Mrs Solerno followed him. He sits on the bed looking pale.
Mrs Solerno(Alvi's step-mother)
Honey are you okay?
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
So, she will really go to her mother.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
I tried so hard to keep her with me
Mrs Solerno(Alvi's step-mother)
Please, don't loose hope. She told it without thinking.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
She told it means she'll do it.
Mrs Solerno(Alvi's step-mother)
Don't worry Blair and I will try to persuade her if she wants to leave. She loves Blair so much.
Mr Solerno(Alvi's father)
But....
Mrs Solerno(Alvi's step-mother)
Nothing has happened. Go to sleep for now
Mother
Alvi barges into her room and throws her bag aside. She falls on the bed closing her eyes.
But her phone beeps from Jasper's text. She see her mother's missed calls and frantically call her back. When Heidi picks the call up , she doesn't let her speak and bombs her with questions
Alvi Solerno
📲Hello. Mom. Are you okay?
Alvi Solerno
📲 Are you feeling sick?
Alvi Solerno
📲 Did something happen?
Alvi Solerno
📲Did someone bother you?
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲Hey! Briar. Calm down.
Alvi Solerno
(confused and worried)
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲 Everything is fine. I just called to check on you.
Alvi Solerno
📲Mom 17 missed calls to check on me.
Alvi Solerno
📲 I'll call you back seeing one missed call. But seeing 17 missed calls, I'll panic.
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲(laughs) You are behaving as my mother here.
Alvi Solerno
📲So you're trying to be the younger one here.
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲Oiii...I can't win over you
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲Tell me what I called for.
Alvi Solerno
📲 I'll take up Biomedical Engineering.I got admitted to IST in X city.
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲 Really, X city. Where will you stay there?
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲How about staying at my friends' place till you have...
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲(confused) Okay? Did you really agree? That easily?
Alvi Solerno
📲 Aren't you happy?
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲I'm. I just .... Forget it. I'll call my friend.
Alvi Solerno
📲Mom. It's past midnight.
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲 I'll call her tomorrow I guess.
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲You said it. Don't turn back from your word
Alvi Solerno
📲 I'll go to bed now.
Heidi Neshat (Alvi's mother)
📲But...Okay. Good night.
Alvi looks around in the dark room lit by moonlight.
She turns and looks outside the window.
Alvi Solerno
(forces a smiles) Mom sounded so happy.
Alvi Solerno
(irritated) Who is this friend of her?
Alvi annoyed pulls the quilt and cover herself and sighs.
Alvi Solerno
<What plan is running in her mind now?>
