DIANA

SCENE 2:1

“Here you go, open your eyes” Says, Diana’s Grandma. Diana slowly opens her eyes,

“Woow is this me!”

“Of course its you” they both laugh. “if that boy sees you now, he will surely drool over you”

Grandma’s magic touch had really turned Diana into a marvel to behold. Engulfed by the uncomfortability of change, Diana paced up and down complaining of how different she looks.

“Woow!” is what Thelma had to say as she stood by the door staring at Diana.

Diana just clicked her tongue as she stormed out of the room and pushed Thelma. Thelma had the wall to thank for being her stronghold against this push.

“let her be Thelma” Said Grandma “She is just being a kid and this your following her up and about is not helping at all, how are things at home?” She said taking Thelma by the hand and leading her to the lounge.

Thelma sat on the couch, grandma went to the kitchen and after a few minutes she came back with two cups of black coffee, just what Thelma needs at such times. She gave Thelma one and sat down to drink her own share. All Thelma did was to feel the warmth of the cup and not to drink it.

“How are things between you and your husband, considering Luke’s arrival?”

Thelma sighed heavily and blew her nose, almost tearful, “l don’t know mom, honestly l don’t know. My husband doesn’t talk to me nor touch me, he sleeps…”

“Okay, okay spare me the details” laughs, “You still love him don’t you?”

“Of course yes, he is my husband”

“I mean Luke”

“l… I… don’t know mom”

Diana comes in and kisses grandma goodbye and leaves. Thelma just stares blankly at the scene.

“She is meeting up with these new local TV channel producers. She wants to talk about her script. If stirred in the right direction your daughter will be a great person”

“Mom what if Luke still feels the same way about me?”

Grandma just sips her coffee very loud and says nothing but to seem deep in thoughts.
