Scene 1
I am Rose, this year has been quite complicated for me and my family. This is the story of
my family, full of problems.
(In the living room; grandmother sitting with sister Selena; father on the terrace accidentally
overhearing the conversation between grandmother and sister Selena)
Grandmother: What do you want to convey, Selena?
Selena: Well, Grandma, I want to get married, so I have to convert to my future
husband's religion.
Grandmother: (surprised) Are you sure? This is not a trivial matter, Selena. You have to think
about and consider everything.
Selena: Yes, Grandma. My decision is firm. Even if Dad doesn't approve, it's better for
me to run away.
Scene 2
(On the terrace; father sitting; Selena just arrived home)
Father: Selena, come here.
(Selena sits next to her father)
Selena: What's wrong, Dad?
Father: Don't think that I don't know about your plan to get married and change religion.
Remember all the sacrifices I made for you. I helped you become a graduate, and now you
want to oppose me.
Selena: I won't change my mind, Dad. This is my life, and I determine it. You don't need to
interfere. I will return all the help you gave me. (Selena snaps at her father and leaves)
Father: You will never be able to repay all of that.
That's the story of my eldest sister who is now married and living with her husband in
another city.
Scene 3
This afternoon, I saw my sister Danila crying in front of Mom.
(In Danila's room, she sits in front of her mom)
Danila: What am I going to do, Mom? If Dad finds out, he'll definitely scold me. (crying)
Mom: You need to calm down, dear. Dad cares about you a lot, that's why he doesn't want
you to end up like this. Now, you have to tell your dad who got you pregnant.
(Dad comes in and joins Danila and Mom)
Dad: What's going on? Why are you crying?
Mom: Danila, tell your dad what happened.
Danila: I'm sorry, Dad. I'm pregnant. But my boyfriend will take responsibility. His family
already knows about it.
Dad: What? How did this happen? Tell your boyfriend and his family to come here tomorrow.
I don't want our family shame to be known by many people.
Yes, my second sister is pregnant out of wedlock. I know it made Dad very angry. But
eventually, my sister married her boyfriend, and Dad refused to take responsibility for
Danila's life anymore.
Scene 4
This evening, Dad, Mom, I, my sister Jessy, and little sister Lisa are relaxing in the living
room.
(In the living room; Dad answers the phone calling)
Dad: Hello, who is this?
Merry: It's me, Merry, dad. I just got married, and in two months, I will bear a child.
Dad: What did you say? Shameless. (Dad responds emotionally and immediately hangs up)
Mom: What's wrong, Dad?
(I, Jessy, and Lisa are shocked)
Dad: Merry just got married, and she'll be giving birth next month.
Mom: What? How did this happen, Dad? (Mom asks while crying) Mom will go to where Merry is
tomorrow.
The next day, Mom went to Merry's place with Aunt Sarah.
Scene 5
Merry: Mom, I'm sorry, Mom. (Merry says while crying)
Aunt: You, your parents already trusted you, but you betrayed their trust. Such a
disrespectful child.
Mom: Enough, Sarah. You came here not to scold Merry.
Aunt: You're too weak, Jenner. That's why all your kids have problems.
Mom: Sarah, be quiet. Enough, you came here to accompany me, not to judge my children.
If you have a lot to say, better go home.
Scene 6
Several months after Kak Merry gave birth, Mom returned. Mom was in the kitchen, and Kak
Jessy came in.
Jessy: Mom, Jessy needs money.
Mom: Jessy, I gave you money yesterday.
Jessy: That was yesterday, Mom. Now the money is gone. Jessy needs more.
Mom: Here, I only have 20 thousand.
Jessy: Only 20 thousand? This is not enough, Mom. Jessy asks for 100 thousand.
Mom: There's no more, Jessy. I just bought rice, and the money is gone.
Jessy: (Snapping at her mom) Anyway, Jessy wants 100 thousand.
(Dad comes and hears Jessy snapping at Mom)
Dad: Jessy, don't talk to your mom like that. You're just a burden to the family. If you need a
lot of money, go find it yourself. (Dad says with a raised voice)
Suddenly, Aunt Sarah comes and says,
Finally, Jessy leaves home.
Scene 7
Tonight, only I, Mom, Dad, and Lisa are at home. Suddenly, Lisa gets sick.
Mom: Oh my God, Lisa, your body is very hot, dear.
Rose: Yes, Mom, we need to take Lisa to the hospital.
Lisa: Mom, I'm cold.
Mom: Dad, we need to take her to the hospital now.
Dad: Yes, let's go to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lisa goes straight into the treatment room accompanied by
Mom. I sit in the waiting room with Dad. Dad looks very puzzled.
Rose: What's wrong, Dad?

Dad: Lisa needs to be admitted. The cost must be high. Where can I find the money?
Rose: How about we inform Selena or Danila, Dad? They will surely help us.
Dad: Are you sure they will help?
Rose: Definitely, Dad. They are still your children.
I then call my sisters to inform them of this sad news.
Scene 8
The next day, they all come to the hospital to visit Lisa.
(At the hospital)
Dad: Thank you all for coming, dear. Dad didn't expect you to be willing to come and still
help the family.
Merry: Regardless, we are still family, sir.
Selena: Yes, Dad. We are all still your children, and we love Mom and Dad very much.
Finally, we all gather at home again after Lisa recovers. Coinciding with the new year, we
forgive each other.
Dad: Thankful that all the problems with our family are behind us, Dad hopes we can face
the coming days happily like this. Dad realizes that with sincerity and an open heart, God will
provide a solution.
