Scene 11
(Pak
Lawan rushes in with his men, all panting heavily.)
Pak
Lawan: (to men,
panting) See, one hundred kilometers in half an hour is easy!
Ibu Usil: How dare you step into my territory just like that?
Pak Lawan: (Sneers) Shameless woman! Send your men to creep into my place to destroy my materials for the competition!
Ibu Usil: What? Hahaha! It must be divine retribution then! Blame no one but yourself coconut! Isn’t it just too bad that I won’t be seeing you for the competition? Tidak apa-apa! I will send you a postcard from the Raja’s palace!
Pak Lawan: You have finally admitted, you evil woman! Tonight I will let you have a taste of your own obat! Men, do it !
(Pak
Lawan’s men carry off the instruments)
Ibu Usil: Apa itu? Men, men! Stop them!
(A
fight ensues between both sides that takes place all around the theatre.
In the
confusion,
the lovers huddled together to protect each other. This sight is taken in by
their
respective parents)
Ibu Usil: Take your hands off my daughter, you coconut junior!
Pak Lawan: Don’t touch my son! You seed of the corn!
Mas Trisno: (Unable to stand it anymore) STOP!
(Everyone
stops to stare at him for a moment of total silence.)
Mas Trisno: Please, please stop fighting! Why can’t we live in harmony? Why can’t we live in peace? Look carefully at the people you are fighting against. Can’t you see they can be very nice and adorable too?
(Everyone
stares at each other in dramatic pause. Resumes
fighting)
Ibu Usil: Whole load of rubbish! (To daughter) You must be gila to get involved with his son! Bring her into the house immediately! I will deal with her later.
Mbak Bunga: Ibu! Please! We are truly in love! Please let us be together!
Mas Trisno: Yes, Pak! We are in love with each other!
Pak Lawan: In love? You are in trouble! Guards, separate them!
Ibu Usil: Get my daughter over here!
(Lovers
separated forcefully, exit. Rest of
the men came limping back to stage)
Pak Lawan: I will stop here tonight but I will not let the matter rest!
Ibu Usil: You better watch out for yourself!
Pak Lawan: Let’s go!
(Both sides exit in with obvious signs that both sides have suffered casualties. Curtains are drawn slowly)
