FLAUNT YOUR LEISURE
Leisure is highly therapeutic to the human psychic and well-being. Aside from many not creating personal schedules or moments for relaxation, some persons have been saddled with leisure as a necessary routine for mankind. Yet we have some others who are living in ignorance about the essence and various ways of self-relaxation.

ROSIE
Mother, please let’s drop this subject. Please …
MOTHER
Drop this subject, you say? Listen, Rosie, it surprises me that you still don’t realize how much pain your attitude is inflicting on your father and I. What is it with you? Your father disowned you hoping that would make you change your mind about Thomas Thomas. But ‘to hell with a father’ you said. And the poor man came back confused and apologetic. Now look at yourself – God! You’re growing fast overdue for marriage, Rosie. People bother me each passing day … such an embarrassment, I never could have the guts to tell any of them that Rosaline, my only daughter is engaged to a drunkard … “drop the subject”, you still say?

WAITING
SYNOPSIS
ROSIE is just been informed that MICHAEL her fiancé
is dead. She’s informed that he died in a bomb explosion in his living room. But
Rosie refuses to believe the story despite all available evidence. Instead, she chooses to wait for a different report even if it means doing so forever. What then
becomes of her under the circumstance as her father suddenly disowns and sends
her packing from his house rather than show love and sympathy?
PROLOGUE
The actions here are partly in mime. Lights meet ROSIE returning to her room from lectures, drops her books and handbag on the reading table, and puts on the radio set, while a rap musical begins to play she prepares herself a glass of water, takes a sip, dances to the music in a manner showing she is in tune with the times. Now the phone (landline) rings, she stops dancing, lowers the volume of the music, and picks up the call.
ROSIE
(on the phone)
Rosie, speaking. Who’s on the line? … Oh, Michael, Darling … I’m fine. And you? (the voice on the other end seems in a hurry) Darling, what’s the hurry? I mean, your voice is shaky, and … where? … but-but why – Hello! (no response) Hello, Michael! (no response) Hello! (no response).
Seems confused for a moment, she attempts to call a number from her mobile, hesitates, picks up her handbag, starts for the door, hesitates, attempts it again, enter MOTHER, weeping silently, tears welling up her eyes, stripping her cheeks.
MOTHER
(toneless)
Rosie!
ROSIE
(curious)
Yes, mother. What’s the problem? Why are you crying? (no response) Mother, please talk to me … what’s the problem?
MOTHER
Michael … Michael Majek is dead …
ROSIE
(confused)
Dead? No! No, mother. He couldn’t be dead. I mean, I have just spoken with him on the phone and he said he –
MOTHER
Rosie, he’s dead … Michael is dead …
