Maiden- A Longed Beauty
The drowning past.
Cyrus
There's water everywhere....
Cyrus
Help me out of here.
Cyrus
Help me.......Hel....
His arms up. He could see a lady coming towards him...
He was gradually losing consciousness.
Robert
Wake up you ugly bit*h.
Robert
You ain't going to wet the bed are you?
Robert
And why the hell are you even screaming for. You are on your damn bed. You bast*rd!
Robert kicks, Cyrus on his as*
Robert
Wake up, and do the pending shit. You damn who*e.
Christan
Can you too quit shouting. I am trying to meditate here.
Christan
And even Nancy is scared.
Robert
Oh! So, you want some peace too, Christan!
Christan
I would appreciate it.
Robert
Go die then, you dumbas*. Your karma will grant you heaven. I am sure of it.
Robert
And about your damn cat, you say she is scared. She looks like she can open doors for different worlds. And you say she is scared.
Nancy
Grrrrrrrr *Puffed of anger*
Cyrus
Hel.... me..... Th... *smiles in dream*
Robert
I swear to god, I will kill this bit*h someday with my these hands. After ruining my sleep. This scum is smiling.
Stewart
Come on guys, at least think of the only child in this house. Let me sleep. yesternight was rough. I've clear ed several levels of Mario within a night.
Robert
Oh! Yes a pretty rough night. Do you want me to sing a lullaby for you. Stewart I'm telling you one day. i'mma kick your smarty as* just because of your annoying c*ap about video games.
Cyrus is still slumbering. And it seems sweet.....
Robert
Oh, I know this bast*rd, I know what he is thinking about. This suck*r is a per*ert. He is thinking about women. Just women.
Robert, jumps over Cyrus furiously.
Cyrus
Huh!? what happened. Who died?
Robert
Guess who? Your ugly as* did !
Robert
Yes, you cu*t in your fu*king dream.
Cyrus
Yeah! Yeah! Di*khead, now shut it. I am awake.
Stewart
Jeez guys, now can I sleep?
Christan
Get your little as* here with me. No more sleeping.
Nancy
Purrrrrrr *snuffles and went to sleep*
With a mean look on his face said Stewart.
Robert
Finally some peace and quiet. I will now sleep to my heart's content.
Maria
Oh, No you don't. It's your turn to look after the garden today. Did you forget?
Robert
Oh, come on Maria, not you too. Let me sleep for a while.
Maria
Robert, things has to be done.
Maria
And Cyrus, You have to look after Nancy's litter box.
Christan
Groceries, are here. And Nancy is brushed and clean. I've taken care of the breakfasts preparation as well. And all the bottles are aligned in refrigerator.
Maria
Good, I expected that.
Maria
Stewart, get on collecting dirty laundry from their wardrobes. I'll do the laundry.
Maria
Let's go, boys get on working.
Robert begins mimicking Maria. As she moved towards the kitchen.
Robert
*These, kids are the laziest, and hopeless. They don't know the importance of punctuality. Sleeping till noon. I've spent my life trying to explain them. But these rasc*ls. Oh, god have mercy on these stupid creatures.*
Everything was the same what she told to herself everyday.
Maria
Good work remembering my speech Robert.
Maria stood behind Robert.
Robert
Oh! Sweet Maria, I am just leaving. The plants are waiting for their hero. one more thing Maria, Black suits you.
Maria
Thank you. But I am wearing Red today.
Maria
Oh! You little piece of sh*t, you mean this dress does not suit me.
Laughing. Robert runs out to the backyard.
Stewart
I'll go get refreshed. Then I'll help you Maria.
With a moment of silence. Maria asked Cyrus.
Maria
Cyrus, was it the same dream. You saw Thea?
Cyrus
I never see her in my dreams.
Cyrus
it's just her voice.
Cyrus
I can never see her face in my dreams. It feels like I have forgotten her.
Cyrus
She is been getting removed from my memory.
Maria
That's even better. The dream will stop haunting you.
Cyrus
How could...... Nevermind. I'll go and do my part.
Maria
Sometimes it's better to let go off the past Cyrus. That's the only thing you can do. I am not saying it's easy. But that's the only option.
Cyrus
Yes Maria. I understand.
Maria
So are you going to begin swimming again.
Cyrus
I'll think about it Maria. I still think I am not ready yet.
The lonely Maiden
Cyrus
I can go even deeper.
Swims down. Deeper and deeper.
The surface was barely visible.
The voice
It's dangerous if you go more than this. Water pressure and lack of oxygen. And I see you wearing no safety gears.
Cyrus
Huh!? Who is * wobble*
Inhales and looks around.
Cyrus
Who's here? I thought nobody visits this place.
The voice
Oh don't worry I'm just a passerby
Giggles the voice looking at a young boy. Barely wearing any cloth, and afraid of his actions.
Cyrus
But where are you? I still can't see you.
The voice
Mind wearing something child before I make my appearance.
Chuckling, the voice said.
Embarrassed, Cyrus rushes towards the clothes on the side of the lake.
Cyrus
Here, I'm done. Come out now.
Cyrus's voice became shaky.
The voice
My, My are you excited to meet someone, this deep inside a forest, where you should not be wandering off alone.
Cyrus
I am sorry, I did not know, this place is owned by someone. Please let me go.
And the voice in response, burst out laughing. Almost shedding tears.
The voice
You sure are cute buddy. But this place is not own by anyone, it's a forest, you are allowed to go wherever you want to. But it's dangerous for you to roam these paths alone.
The voice
You look quite young boy. But I am impressed you really did a great dive.
Praising Cyrus for his swimming skills, said The voice, and slowly coming out of the water, in a little distance.
Cyrus
But... come to think of it how did you do that!?
Cyrus
I could swear I have clearly heard you underwater.
Cyrus
How is that possible.
The voice
What underwater!? I was on the surface. I just put my head in and saw you going down like crazy.
Cyrus
No, You're lying, I heard you. You told me I have no gears. And it's unsafe, to go even further.
The voice
Oh boy, you're hearing things. Go see a doctor. How can anyone talk underwater, and if they do, how can you even listen to it.
The voice lady was gradually, walked past Cyrus and went up to sit on a rock.
Thea
Kid go home, I don't want to hear you bickering nonsense, I wanted a peaceful evening. And here I am giving answers to a baby.
Cyrus
Hey, I am not a baby. And you were the one who came to me.
Thea
Ah! Sure. Just go home kid.
Cyrus
I am not going anywhere. You said it yourself, didn't you? This place belongs to no one. So I am staying here.
Thea
Suit yourself kid. But as you can see the sun is about to set and will vanish in some minutes. Hope you are not afraid of the animals in here.
Thea
And as I've heard, people are banished and found, in pieces.
Cyrus
You say this place has wild animals. What are you even saying. There's none here.
Thea
If you do wanna try your luck then go ahead. I won't stop you.
Cyrus
But still it's getting dark. I should leave.
Thea
So what happened, Mr. brave.
Cyrus
There are no animals. But I have to reach home, or else I would have to stay at the porch for the entire night.
Cyrus
Bye miss. Thanks for the help. However, you did that.
Cyrus
Btw. Aren't you gonna leave?
Asked, Cyrus to Thea, packing his stuff.
Thea
I will soon, don't worry about me. You should get going.
Cyrus
Oh, yes. I am Cyrus. what's your name?
Said Thea and chuckled slowly.
Cyrus took his cycle and ride back a narrow and muddy path.
To the pool -1
Maria
Be careful with that Cyrus.
Maria
Collect it and go back in the garden to dispose it.
Cyrus
I'll hand this over to Robert.
Maria
Sure, but you know that he won't help you that easy.
Robert stood in the backyard, a water pipe in his hand and a ciggerate on his lips.
Cyrus
Here you go. This is the manure fir the plants.
Robert
Oh, no, you don't bi*ch. You even have the audacity, to walk in front of me and handing over your chore.
Cyrus
You wanna fight about it, you sh*t head.
They stood glaring each other.
Seth
And that's a great shot.
Seth with his small, old yet working camera, clicked a photo of both ready to fight.
Cyrus
Be ready to get some more. When I kick his as*.
Robert
Oh yeah, do you think you can beat me, jackass*
Cyrus
Beat you. I'll make you lick the dust under my shoe.
Maria
Grow up boys, and how many times have I told you no cigarettes in the house.
Maria, twists Roberts ears.
Robert
Ouch - uh.. uh... it hurts Maria. I'll swear I won't bring cigarette in this campus. I am sorry ouch.. leave me, I am sorry let it go....
Seth
*clicks, clicks, clicks*
Cyrus
Hey seth come this side the angle here is perfect.
Robert
I bet I am killing you one day. Cyrus. Ouch... it hurts... Maria I am sorry...
Christan
So here is everyone. Oh! Cigarettes. God saves you Robert. Bye everyone I am leaving for a meeting. See ya later. And yes, Seth good morning. Wanna join, it's a landscape, where the meet is going to be held.
Christan
Don't worry I'll have a chat with your teacher on the way. If it's ok then you are coming with me. That sounds good to you?
Christan
And Cyrus Stewart is your responsibility today.
Cyrus
Sure, and even more I had to take him swimming today. I'll take care of it too.
Christan
Thanks dude, you're a big help.
Robert
Can you leave me now, Maria. please, let go.
Cyrus
I'll go get a shower.
Cyrus leaves the situation as it is. And goes in.
Cyrus
Are you still in there Stewart?
Cyrus
Get ready quick. Don't you have to attend tution for today? Your tutor mast be on his way.
Cyrus
And then we have to go to the pool, remember the swimming plan we made ?
Stewart
Oh, yes yes, It totally slipped out of mind.
Nancy
Mew, mew , mew. *behind cuddling with Cyrus*
Cyrus
You must be hungry Nancy.
Cyrus
let's get you something kitty.
It's already noon by the time Stewart's tution were over.
Cyrus
Bring the keys. I'll carry your swimsuit.
Car starts and they leave for the swimming pool.
