SCENE 23

Rhoda is having a little conversation with Chicco.

Rhoda: Today is his birthday.

Chicco: What? Rhoda, let this day be the greatest day of your life, not the day that you will regret for the rest of your remaining life. Who has the birthday today?

Rhoda: The stranger, Molyn. This is the birthday card that I was about to surprise him with today. (She gave it to Chicco)

Chicco: Wow! (Chicco took it and began to read it louder)

Dear my dearest beloved Gold
May the mighty thee bring peace and happiness upon your soul. May he turn this day into a day of greatest prosperity, and increase the days of your life for me! Oh, mighty thee, change his nightmare into sweet dreams, his fear into faith,and his curse into a lifetime of joy. Give his eyes a gift to see me as I am. Attach our hearts and make us one, with your holy blessings. Please! Bring his wishes to life, to free him from the past. That’s all I wish for. And I’m much honored to say happy birthday.
Devoted, Rone Rhoda

Rhoda: I don’t know myself anymore. Tell me, Chicco, who am I?

Chicco: You are blessed to know him. When I am sad and unhappy, I think of what makes me happy. If he truly loves you, he will be back, I swear.

Rhoda: I foresee happiness, changes and everlasting love. The love that can’t change simply because time says so.

SCENE 24

It’s time for Mrs Rone to reveal the name of the chosen man

Mrs Rone: Finally, she has chosen. And we are all going to put our egos aside. The decision can’t be reversed. Love exists in the heart of those who are strong enough to go through the good times and bad times together.

Mr Rone: Let’s all forget about the past to make this day unforgettable.

Mrs Rone: One thing I know is that you are both dreamers, visionaries and you are self- motivated. But at the end, when the best men collide, only the lucky man will win the war. Many have fought for love in the past, but not like Prince Dii and Dilen. You both deserve more and I believe that life will give you more. Dilen, Rhoda mandated me to ask you, if you are ready to marry her today.

Dilen: Yes, I’m more than ready, Madam.

Mrs Rone: The Mighty one has delivered his promises. He changed fear into faith, failure into glory, pains into Joy and sadness into laughter. He is great!

Dilen: I respect his presence! He just turned a tragedy into a comedy!

Mr Rone: Blessed are those who are willing to correct their mistakes.

Prince Dii: He has what it takes to prove us wrong. I was wrong to call you a failure.

Dilen: Indeed, the mind nor the heart of a patient man is always filled with hope to overcome failure.

Mrs Rone: Dilen my dear, I would love to thank you for refusing to give up. Now the wedding is about to start, we will witness the unthinkable. Be ready!

SCENE 25

Back to the ladies dressing room, they are all looking beautiful.

Chicco: Wow! You really got the looks, you are a definition of beauty. I wonder if there are any women in history of life, who are as beautiful as you. In you, the work of God has been done.

(Rhoda start to cry.)

Chicco: You are lucky! That is what women do, they share tears of joy, to denote that they are ready to kiss their pride.

Rhoda: What do you call it! Fear and interest? I never felt like this before. If love makes people to feel like this… I want you to know that I am going to be in love for the rest of my life.

Mrs Rone opened the door

Mrs Rone: Hoping that you are ready, love is in the heart, you cannot touch it but you can feel it. It is time to go.

(They all went outside and muscled their way to the wall.)

SCENE 26

Inside the wall, Prince Dii and Dilen are both having the best time, while they are still waiting for Rhoda

Prince Dii: Something great knocked in my brain, I want to name my first daughter patience.

Dilen: Why do you want to name her patience?

Prince Dii: To honor your patience. You have been patient for so long. A man like you and a woman like Rhoda deserve to be together.

Dilen: There is something I like about a woman like her.

Prince Dii: What?

Dilen: They are beautiful, adorable, soft, persistent, and they always talk about love.

Prince Dii: Marriage is an experience of a lifetime. I once saw what it does to a man. Sometimes it starts an everlasting love, sometimes it brings fear and obstacles to see if you meant your words. Its either you be strong or you choose to sink and fate the dream that you always needed. Be a man who is about to marry someone and sacrifice his life for what God gave him. I repeat my words, a woman like her, deserves a man like you.

Dilen: Best words come from the best mouths. The mouth of education.

Prince Dii: Here comes your bride! Do to her, what you always wanted to do with her. Love her, kiss her, touch her and take her home.

SCENE 27

Here they come…with beautiful faces. If they were flowers, they were going to be Roses, if they were lights, they were going to be the sun and give light to all. All meaningful words, are not good enough to define their looks.

Preacher: Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here, in the sight of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men. And therefore – is not by any- to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate, these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause, why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

Dilen interrupted him

Dilen: Sorry for interrupting you, Preacher. Rhoda, you are much respected, never doubt that. Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind, and you deserve the best man. I wish I can change and be what you truly want in your life. We both know what you deserve, you deserve more. My heart tells me that you are the best woman I have ever known. But we both know that you deserve someone who is far better than me. (The attendance are upon their feet)

Rhoda: (she is now sharing tears) what …

Dilen: Someone is here to wipe away those tears and make you feel the magic that only comes when the two of you are together. Someone who deserves all of you, someone who concords patience. He is here, dressed, and ready to marry you today. His name is Molyn.

The Rone’s family looks frustrated. But God gave them the eyes to see what their daughter saw. They never took a step, till Molyn reached were Rhoda was standing

Molyn: I look like a fool in front of the eyes of everybody. I spoke with you before; it sounds privileged for me to repeat my words. We all don’t know the types of mistakes that you have made in your life. I promise not to be one of the mistakes in your life. I want to be yours forever. … Rhoda, I mean forever.

Rhoda: Does your mind recall what I said the first day when I saw you?

Molyn: The moment you saw me you knew there was something special about me.

Rhoda: Since you loved me, I wake up with smiles on my face. No one is like you, you define unique by everything you have, I love you and you love me. You are the compass that will keep on showing me direction every time when I’m lost.

Preacher: Can we continue please!

Mr Rone: No, no, no, no. (He is moving from where he is, to where they are) Do you all believe in fairy tales? I spent my lifetime under a dark shadow. And I promised myself not to believe in fairy tales. But I learnt from my mistakes. (He took the Globe of love out of his pocket and gave it to Molyn) You deserve it. Now, go on! (After that he sat down)

Molyn: My Dear, I give you this ring as a sign of love of Rhoda and Molyn. I place it on your finger, as a symbol that represents my feelings, my heart, my future, and our love. I want you to go with it everywhere, let it be my voice during good times and bad times.

Rhoda: I agree to wear this ring as a sign of respect, honor, happiness, perseverance and the love that you will give me. And it will remain in this finger until the last day of my life.

Preacher: Is there anyone who wishes to give us the reason why these two must not be joined together? (No one moved) If there is no reason why the two of you must not be together. I then pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. Molyn, do the unthinkable, kiss the pride.

Mrs Rone: Not so fast (The world is standing on its feet) Not until I finish reading this letter from Old Granny Karyn. (He began to read)

Dear my beloved angels. I knew that nothing is bigger than a happy ending. Some believe that happy endings only exist in the tales, some don’t believe in fairy tales, and some know that others existed and died before they reached a happy ending. As from today, I want to know that everything happened according to his plan. He planned our lives before our creation. Each life has different tales. I gave you the tale of Globe of Love and now you are gathered to be witnesses. It sounds unbelievable but believe what you see. Use it as a motivation, the desire and courage to believe in your own tale. Let positive thinking be the begging of your tale, positive thinking will lead you to a vision. A vision will lead you to a dream and dreams do come true. I wish I was there to be a part of that monumental. It is painful because I won’t be there. My soul is honored to say these words, Rhoda, you may kiss the prize.

Rhoda: You are a witness of what I am about to do with your smart mouth. (It wasn’t just a kiss; it was also a freedom for both of them. Who could forget a kiss that changed the shape of the world?!)

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Rhoda and Molyn lived forever happily.
