How to express your love to the one you love

Narrator:

Three boys, Richard, Edward and Anthony are drinking coffee in a coffee shop. Richard is a hopeless fool in love. It is around Valentine’s Day. Richard does not want to spend his Valentine’s Day alone. He wants to confess his love to the girl he secretly admiring. So, he asks for his friends’ help.

Shi Yee sighs.

Cheng Yi: Why are you sighing?

Shi Yee sighs.

Wei Seen: Why are you sighing again?

Shi Yee sighs.

Cheng Yi and Wei Seen: Why are you sighing again and again?

Shi Yee: (singing) A pretty girl, her charming smile, a hole inside my heart, I’m all alone, the rooms are getting smaller. I’ve lost my heart, I’ve lost my brain, I wonder where they are, until she came, I get all my organs back. Oh yeah.

Cheng Yi: Hmm…Seems that you are secretly admiring someone, but you dare not confess to her.

Wei Seen: Is that true? Who is that unlucky girl?

Shi Yee: Anthony, she is my first love, can you be more encouraging? (intoxicated in the imagination)She is the girl of my dreams, and she is just plain beautiful, every words she says took my breathe away.

Wei Seen: (confidence) I bet all my fortune, Richard is in love with Claire, right?

Shi Yee: Yup…That’s her. (imaging) The girl who has long, black hair, mesmerizing eyes, sweet smile, white teeth and fair skin that made her a rare beauty. You know, many had said, that God had worked overtime on her, making her one of his masterpieces. She is also kind-hearted, helpful, intelligent…

Wei Seen: Stop! We already knew how good she is, ok? The main point is, have you told her these?

Cheng Yi: Don’t ask stupid questions! He won’t sing that song if he already confessed to her.

Shi Yee: (heart throbbed) You are right, Edward.

Wei Seen: Don’t pull a long face, brother. Let me help you.

Shi Yee: How can you help my pitiful soul?

Wei Seen: (with a loud and clear voice) I am a love expert!

Cheng Yi: You don’t even have a girlfriend!

Wei Seen: I don’t have girlfriend, but I have a lot of admirers.

Cheng Yi: Stop boasting yourself!

Shi Yee: Stop! I am R.I.D.

Wei Seen: You want me to get rid of you?

Shi Yee: No. R.I.D is Richard Is Dying.

Cheng Yi: Don’t worry, Richard. We will help you.

Wei Seen: I got an idea. Just tell her straightforward that you like her so much. Confess your love out loud in front of her.

Cheng Yi: You can also do it in front of the people to show her that you are seriously confessing your love to her.

Shi Yee: But, it is embarrassing! I will stammer in the presence of strangers.

Wei Seen: If you don’t want to spend your Valentine’s Day alone, just do it!

Shi Yee turns to Ming Thing.

Ming Thing: (arrogant and impatience) Today is such a hot day. What do you want to tell me? Don’t waste my time. Time is precious.

Shi Yee: (anxious, twisting the fingers) I…I want to declare my love to you in front of these people.

Ming Thing: (delighted) Really? You are willing to do that for me?

Shi Yee turns to face all of the classmates.

Shi Yee: (inhale) (close the eyes) Cheng Yi, I Love You!

Shi Yee: (scratches her head) Oops… That was in the first part, right? Sorry, sorry.

Ming Thing: (angry and stomped off) Idiot! How come it ended up with another girl’s name?

Shi Yee: Claire! Give me one more chance. This time, I will say your name correctly.

Wei Seen: Operation Happily Ever After failed.

Shi Yee: What am I suppose to do? She is angry, furious, frustrated now. What if she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore? What if she…

Cheng Yi: Richard, calm down. How about attacking her with flowers?

Shi Yee: Pardon?

Wei Seen: What Edward mean is attack her with flowers. Girls always have soft spot for flowers. What kind of flower does Claire like?

Shi Yee: (a professional tone) According to my investigation, she likes roses from America, cherry blossoms from Japan, carnations from Cameron Highlands, orchids from Singapore and…

Wei Seen: Haha…Quite a special girl. Can’t she like something that sells in the flower shop? Still, I have prepared it for you. (Take out a bouquet of flower)

Shi Yee: Wow! Thanks buddy!

Wei Seen and Cheng Yi: Do not mess it up again!

Shi Yee: Sure. Just attack her with flowers, right?

Shi Yee turns to Ming Thing and shows her the flowers.

Ming Thing: (high-pitched) Such a fabulous flowers. I love it. Is it for me?

Shi Yee: Yes, you are the only one to be qualified to own the flowers. Will you accept my heart? My sincerity? (singing) I can show you the world. Shining, shimmering, splendid. (Throwing the flowers one by one to Ming Thing) Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?

Ming Thing: (like a bursting volcano) Stop that! You are such a nuisance! How can you throw the flowers to me? You are ruining my image!

Ming Thing slaps Shi Yee.

Shi Yee: She touches my face! So sweet…

Cheng Yi and Wei Seen: Hopeless.

Conversation continues.

Shi Yee: How come the method you taught me does not work at all?

Cheng Yi: What I mean about attacking her with flowers is referring to her heart, not her body!

Wei Seen: (bends her arm round Shi Yee’s shoulder) Ok, I will tell you my secret weapon.

Shi Yee, Cheng Yi and Wei Seen discuss together.

Shi Yee: What? So old-fashioned? Nowadays, we got msn, sms, hotmail, facebook and lots of high technology stuff, you want me to do that?

Cheng Yi and Wei Seen: It does work, you know.

Shi Yee: Will she hit me again? It really hurts.

Shi Yee holds a letter.

Shi Yee: (with a nervous expression) Claire, I have something for you.

Ming Thing: (felt disgusted) You again?

Shi Yee reads the letter.

Shi Yee: To my love, Claire. You are my oxygen, I can’t live without you. To give you a better life, I will work hard to achieve 5M. I will earn a lot of money, become a manager, buy a mansion, a Mercedes and at last me, myself to you. And, your beauty shall not fade. Because I will buy a lot of makeup and skin-care products for you.

Ming Thing: (touched) Oh! You wrote that yourself?

Shi Yee looks at Cheng Yi and Wei Seen. Both of them nod.

Shi Yee: Yes, of course.

Ming Thing: I am happy! What you wrote touches my heart deeply. Thank you, Richard.

Shi Yee: Will you become my girlfriend?

Ming Thing: (shy) Yes, I will. (stern tone) But make sure you keep your promises!

Shi Yee and Ming Thing dance.

Cheng Yi: Finally, happily ever after.

Wei Seen: Finally, the hopeless fool found his true love. Oh my god! I got to go now. My admirers A, B, C are waiting for me.
