Scene 1
Romeo and Juliet fell in love.Romeo came to Kappu
house secretly,and he is about to leave.
Romeo : I must leave now,
It's too dangerous if I,m found,
By your parents;I must leave
Now itself, even though
I would like to stay longer,
To enjoy your sweet company
And continue "kochuvarthamanam".
Juliet: Dearest Romeo chetta,stay a few minutes
Only a few minutes.I thouroughly enjoy
Your pesense and your small talk,
I wish to know more
About you,your family
And your circumstances.
Romeo: Me too, but it's a big risk
To linger here;if your parents
Arrived now,it would be
My imminent death,if I'm found
I would be slaughtered like a pig.
Juliet : Then go dearest Chetta
But I can't live
Even a moment, without you,
You are dearest to me,
As my life itself;I shall give up
All I have,for our love's sake.
Romeo: Don't worry,molu;there's a way
To sustain love,in the modern era
Today love florishes through
The cell phone,as you might know
A cell phone is a God-given gift,
To the youth of today,
It's like manna from heaven,
( shows his cell-phone)
This little device is the guardian angel
Of lovers, young and old,
Do you have one ?
Juliet : I don't have
My mother denies me one.
Romeo : Then she denies you love,your right.
Juliet : Mom says it would corrupt me,
And lure me into bad relationships
Divert me from my studies
Rob me of my innocence; she won't
Allow it, I'm too afraid to ask.
Romeo : Molu,you must entreat her
To buy you one;say it's good for studies
Love can't progress without it
Love without cell phone
Is like dosa without chammanthy
Like a temple without a deity
A car without petrol
A passenger without passport
Today's lovers carry their hearts
In their cell phones,it's a safe locker
In which they keep their thoughts
Feelings and secrets safe.It's like
The sun to the earth, without which
There's no existance.Even the beggars
Use it to calculate their daily earnings
So it's a shame not to have one.
Juliet : Today I'll ask mom, saying
It's useful for studies.
Romeo : Ask, molu,if she denies
I'll see what to do.
( the sound of a car )
I must go now;your parents' car
Is at the gate;take this number
And call me when you get the phone
Unseen by parents
Even past midnight,
We shall stay connected,
And our love shall grow
From the seedling of today
To a fledgling tree.
( takes a snap )
I'll set this angelic face
As my wallpaper,to see you
Day and night, and keep it
Close to my heart,I must leave now.
( hugs her )
Send me a miscall,and then I will
Call you back,and give directions.
Juliet : Dear chetta,leave now;Pappa's car is down
In the garage,leave now.Good night.
Romeo: Good night.Keep well.
( he exits through the window)
CURTAIN ( to be continued)
