paper bag and ate it. SAM glaring fiercely)
ALBERT : what are you looking at??
SAM : outside food are not allowed. Get out!
ALBERT : so? did I care?
SAM :
this is my café. I have the right to chase anybody out. N now, I demand you to
leave this café this instant!
ALBERT :
I won’t till I say so. Anyway, there’s no sins on coming to watch over my
sister, I guess?
SAM : if you come to remind me of the fact that I hate?
LEAVE!
ALBERT : make me…
SAM :
(stomping angrily towards ALBERT. Snatch away the paper bag from him) organic
breads? You ate this?
ALBERT :
so what? (Standing and snatch the paper bag again) it’s delicious.. better than
yours..
SAM : so don’t come! You’re only spoiling the mood!!
ALBERT :
(sneered) okay I’ll leave, but I’ll come back. Everyday to watch over you.. my
dear sister.. (leave the stage)
SAM : that squashy ratbag! I’ll kill him!
ISADORA : (enters) hey! SAM!
SAM :
oh! Hi, ISADORA. Where’s DUNCAN
ISADORA : who? (sat on the chair near counter) My
brother? He’s on his way. How’s café?
SAM : everything is just fine…*sigh*
ISADORA : what is it SAM? You look troubled. Is
everything alright?:
SAM : nothing serious.. just, you know ALBERT?
ISADORA : your foster brother..? I think I saw
him just now…
SAM : yes, that’s him alright… you see, he keep showing
up this few days..
ISADORA : so
SAM : he’s annoying me so much!!
ISADORA : then tell him so. Tell him not to come
again…
SAM :
I have… but he still shows up every single day… and repeating the ugly fact
that I’m his sister… I want a brother of my own so much, but he’s the worst
thing that ever been mine…
ISADORA :
guess what? You reminds me… remember the song we sang at last year’s school
festival?
SAM : you mean our
song??
ISADORA : (nod) yeah… remember?
SAM : of course I did!
(music playing.. *MINE—TAYLOR

ISADORA : I love that song so much…!
SAM : we did…
(DUNCAN
SAM : hello, DUNCAN
ISADORA : you’re late again!

What’s up?
JENNY : I saw
SAM taking something out from your pencil case…
ISADORA : are you sure? She can’t be stealing..
JENNY :
I swore she did! I think better you check out on your things to make sure
everything’s there..
ISADORA : is she still there?
JENNY : no. I
think she’s back at the café..
ISADORA : ( thinking 4 a while) I believe her..
she won’t do such a thing…
JENNY : how
could you be sure? People can change..
ISADORA :
(hesitates.. then decide to go back to the class and check on her thing. JENNY
following) my pen! The silver pen my dad gave me for my birthday.. it’s gone!
JENNY : I bet
SAM have it!

ISADORA : DUNCAN
JENNY : no!
it’s not her fault! SAM stealed it from her!
JENNY : I saw
her running over ISADORA’s pencil case when nobody’s around!
JENNY : I
didn’t accused!
JENNY : I only
suspected!
ISADORA :
ENOUGH!! I suggest we go to SAM’s café and see who’s right and who’s not.. it’s
better than arguing over things like this..( she left the stage. JENNY and
DUNCAN followed)
(SAM is at the counter. ALBERT sat in one of the
tables near her)
SAM :
could you please go away?
ALBERT :
you’re chasing your costumer away?

nothing!
ALBERT :
I only want to come here and watch over my dear sister..
SAM :

(suddenly, DUNCAN, ISADORA and JENNY entered. JENNY
neared sam and slid something into her apron pocket)

*INNOCENCE—AVRIL LAVINGE)
(MUM enters)
MOM : don’t get upset , my dear… you must be strong.
SAM : mom? Is that you?
MOM : I’m here… I’m always there when you need me…
SAM : mom… can you take me with you? Bring me to your
place? ISADORA and DUNCAN hates me now… my life is useless…
MOM : no my dear… come, let me show you something…( they
leave the stage)
(ISADORA crying. DUNCAN
SAM : where are we? Why is ISADORA crying? (tried to
near)
MOM : (stop her) no… we cannot do anything…
SAM : but… why?
(DOCTOR enters. ISADORA
arise.)
ISADORA : how’s SAM , DOCTOR? Will she be fine?
DOCTOR :
she suffer from a kidney cancer and a serious depression. luckily her cancer is
still on the first stage.
ALBERT : depression? I thought she only suffers from the cancer…
ALBERT : father wanted me to keep it from outsider and from her…
ALBERT : ( shake his head)
ISADORA : will she recover?
DOCTOR :
50-50. she needs a kidney donor to get better. If she manage, she may fall in a
short coma because of her mental condition. Or worse, she may not wake up…
ISADORA : you mean… that’s possible?
DOCTOR :
at this state… I’m afraid… yes… but now, we need a kidney donor for her. And after
that it’s all up to her to wake up or not…
ALBERT : I’ll be. My kidney is in a perfect condition. And my
kidney matched hers..
DOCTOR : alright then. Over here please…
DOCTOR : sure… (all four of them left the stage)
SAM : I don’t get it…
MOM :
You just finished your kidney transmission and now you’re on a coma. ALBERT,
your brother that you used to hate donated his kidney to save your life. And
look, your friends. They are worried to death.
SAM : but I don’t understand. Why?
MOM :
there are only one explanation. And it’s because they need you. The same way
you need them… so, wake up. Wake up and tell your worried brother and friends
that you are alright.
SAM : how can I do that?
MOM : say that you can… than you will.
SAM : one last question… if I wake up, will we meet
again?
MOM : (smile) we will, my dear… we will…(they leave the
stage)
V
(ISADORA and SAM at the ward
.)
ISADORA : I’m sorry SAM. I should have trusted
you…
SAM : let bygones be bygones. Where’s JENNY?
ISADORA : that cakesniffer? Let’s just say, she’s
gone 4 ever?
SAM : what do you mean?
ISADORA : I
sent my pen to the police station, and they found no fingerprints of you, but
lots of hers. Could you believe it? She stole the pen and put the accuse on
you!
SAM :
she must have her own reason. And anyway, what does ‘cakesniffers’ means
actually?
ISADORA :
I’ve no idea. I’ve checked every dictionary I’ve found and none of them got
‘cakesniffer’ written inside. I guess she invented the word herself..
(ALBERT enters. ISADORA
stands up)
ISADORA : I think maybe I should leave you two
for a while… (She left the stage.)
ALBERT : may I…
SAM : help yourself…
ALBERT : (sit) how’s you feeling?
SAM : better…
thank you for concerning. How’s café?
ALBERT :
everything fine. It’s tiring to watch over everything myself, so I hired a few
workers to help me out…
SAM : thank you…
ALBERT : nothing much. I’m impressed on how you…
SAM : not about the café.
ALBERT : … you’re welcome.
SAM : but why? Why did you help me?
ALBERT : I have my own reason… you mustn’t know everything…
SAM : tell me… the whole thing…
ALBERT : have you ever wondered why father sent you to the
village?
SAM : always… but I stop as I realize I started hating
him.
ALBERT :
father loved mom for his life that when he dies, he almost lost himself. You
assembled mom perfectly that when he knows you inherited mom’s disease, he
became the saddest man ever lived. The polluted air, or on the other word, the
miasma at the city is too dangerous for your disease, so he sent you to the
village where the air is cleaner and fresher, the reason you survived till
today. Then, he adopted me because my kidney matched yours. Mom dies because
she didn’t manage to get a donor on time. He did not want the same to happen on
you, so he want me to stay ready when you needed me. As return, he gave me
wealth and a family. He took great care of my lifestyle and eating habits. he
missed you very much and regretted for not being able to be with you all the
time. He never called me my name, but called me, SAM, his beloved daughter.
Always, and forever.
SAM : …I can say nothing but… thank you…
ALBERT : no. thank YOU. Because of you, I had the chance to be
rich and wealthy. Because of you, I had the chance to have a family of my own.
Back there at the orphanage, I had
nothing, but here, with you, I had everything… even everything.
(ISADORA enters. At her back DUNCAN
ISADORA : ooops! Did we get in the wrong timing?
SAM : (laugh) oh! Come here you two!
Since that day, two souls
that used to be hating each other joined together as a family member. And a
bond that once broken rejoined, strengthen, stronger than ever, unbreakable
forever… just because some unforgettable experience and a teeny little organ
that they SHARE...
