Chapter 3: Unnamed
Int. Palace - Day
The King and Queen are having breakfast and as usual she is worried about her daughter who did not sleep at home
King: (sipping tea) Would you please sit down! Your pacing will give me indigestion. Have some tea, it will help reduce stress and keep calm
Queen: How can I when she is not at home
King: Fine, I will eat on my own. Here I thought you needed strength to fight her like usual
Queen: Seriously! You are confidently eating
King: There is nothing to be ashamed of. This has been going on for a few years now. I hate to admit it but we have already lost her
Junior walk in
Junior: Mom, I can't find sister anywhere, where is she.
Queen: Don't worry, she will be back. Peggy, take him out
Peggy: Yes, your highness
Ext. Palace - Corridor - Day
She jumps in front of them
Stella: Good morning Junior
Junior: Sister! You look like a beggar. I don't like it
Stella: (laughs) Then I won't ever show up like this again. To me my Junior's words are a command
Peggy: Go to the kitchen and get some pastry. Walk slowly don't run. And you! Why are you hell bent on tearing this family apart
Stella: I surely am home. The disgusting look you give me always makes me happy
She laughs and walks towards her parents. She picks food from her father's plate and stuffs her mouth
Stella: That middle aged woman called Peggy surely can cook. She outshines everyone in the kitchen
The King just looks at her while the queen walks towards her concerned
Queen: What happened? You look untidy. I've told you to tie your hair many times. Look at all the leaves
Stella: What could possibly go wrong. It has long happened. Had you been there, he'd be alive and I won't have turned this way. Forget it. As long as I am alive I won't be who you want me to be
They silently stare at each other, then she bursts into a laughter
Stella: Good night. I mean good morning
