*Lower the volume after 15seconds*

DJ: Dear DJ (name mo)

Clara: I'm Clara, not my real name and I want to share this story of mine to tell the youth to respect their parents and
value their education. It happened 10 years ago, when I had a fight with my mother...

Clara's Mother: Where did you came from?! To tell you, Clara, it's already 11 pm! I told you be home before 6!

Clara: And so? I'm already here stop blabbering nonsense! As if you really care about my welfare!

Clara's Mother: Show some respect, Clara! I am still your mother! I do care about your welfare!

Clara: Tsk! And now you're acting to be one. Crap it out! I'm getting tired of dealing with you! I wish you should have
died instead of my father! Because of you being whore, he left us!

*sound effects of someone got slapped

Clara's Mother: Watch your mouth, young lady! You don't know anything!

Clara: *sounded hurt* Do you think I'm still stupid to believe your lies?

*sound effects of someone knocking on the door*

*creaking sound of a door*

Clara's Mother: Who are you? *pertaining to the late visitor*

Diego: Good evening Ma'am. Sorry for the disturbance. I'm Diego Saavedra. I am Clara's boyfriend.
Clara: Why are you still here, Diego?! I told you to go home already!

Diego: Sorry but I get worried that you will get scolded so I wanted to explain to your mother why you came late.
Ma'am, I am sorry if Clara arrived late in your home. I am a varsity player and part of a basketball team, I had a
practice earlier and told her to go home without me but she insisted to wait for me. I am really sorry Ma'am. Don't
get mad at her. It's my fault.

Clara's Mother: It's okay, Diego. I didn't know that my daughter has a boyfriend. And I'm kind of relieved that you are
an honest kid. I think you should go home now. Your parents might get worried about you. Diego: Okay, Ma'am.
Goodnight. Goodnight Clara.

Clara: Psh. Nonsense!

*Bell rings*

Clara: Lunch break is over, let's go back to our classroom, girls.

Kira: Seriously, Clara? You still want to attend Mr. Tan's class? I won't waste my time here in school.

Clara: But Kira...

Leslie: Kira is right, let's cut class.

Clara: Leslie, someone might report about us not attending his subject class.

Kira: I thought you're brave Clara? You were able to have an argument with your mother but a simple escaping this
school, you're a coward.

Leslie: Maybe we should invite Clara to the Real World later.

Clara: Real world?

Kira: Yes. Real World where everything is fun!

Leslie: Have you tried entering a bar before?

Clara: Nope.

Kira: That's why you have a boring life. Come with us later, let's meet up in Plaza, 9 pm sharp.

Leslie: Wear something attractive.

Clara: Uhh, okay.

Clara: I escaped that night from our home. I told myself that time maybe that place might give me a peace from the
pain I've been hiding for years. When we arrived to that bar, it was a noisy place. But it seems people are enjoying.
Some people are dancing, some are drinking alcohol and some are smoking. I was scared that time because I just had
a feeling that something terrible will happen. But that thoughts disappeared when Leslie pulled me to dance on the

dance floor.

*Niccolo Paganini – La Campanella starts to play*

*Lower the volume after 15seconds*

Leslie: *dancing* Oh my god! I like the atmosphere tonight!

Kira: *dancing too* Hey, Clara. Why don't you dance with us? Can't you feel the good vibes here?

Clara: *shyly answers* Okay...

Clara: I dance that time and as time goes by, I found myself enjoying to that place. We only stopped dancing when
Kira said that she wanted to drink something. We went to a private room and they ordered drinks.

Kira: Hey Clara, drink this. It might help you to have more energy, so you can enjoy the whole night.

Clara: Thank you.

Leslie: Kira, do you have your lighter with you?

Kira: Yup, here.

Leslie: Thanks!

*sound effects of lighter*

Leslie: *puffs cigarette* Clara, you should smoke too. It helps to

lessen the stress that your mother gave you.

Clara: I don't think so...

Leslie: Don't be a baby. Just try it. *handed the cigarette to Clara*

Clara: *coughs*

Leslie and Kira: *laughs*

Kira: You don't need to swallow the smoke. Just do like this *puffs* See? You need to practice so you will get used to
it.

*A guy arrived and seats beside Clara*

Ken: Hi Kira and Leslie!

Kira: Hey Ken!

Leslie: Oh my god, Ken! You're here!

Ken: Of course! I'm always around. And who is this chick? *pertaining to Clara*

Kira: Clara. She's our friend.

Ken: She's pretty! *puts his hand on Clara's lap*

Clara: Uhh, Mister, can you remove your hand on my lap?

Ken: Ohh, I'm sorry, Clara. *laughs maniacally* Can I court you?

Clara: No. I have a boyfriend.

Ken: Aww. Too bad. How about can I be your friend?

Clara: Okay...

Leslie: Clara, I'll go to the comfort room.

Kira: I'll come with you, Les. Wait for us, Clara.

*Robert Schumann - Drei Fantasiestücke starts to play*

*Lower the volume after 5seconds*

Clara: They left me with Ken alone. I don’t like the way he looks at me. I tried to escape but he stopped me.

Ken: Hey, Clara. Where are you going? Leslie and Kira said that we should wait for them.

Clara: I only nodded that time. I was praying that they will be back soon. Ken starts asking questions about me and I
felt more scared because 30 minutes have passed and my friends haven't returned yet. Ken offered me a drink but I
refused.

Ken: *sighs* I'm hurt. I am trying to be your friend but it seems you don't want me to be one of your friends.

Clara: I'm sorry.

Ken: Just accept this drink. Please. This is just a cocktail. It won't make you drunk. I promise.

Clara: I accept the drink that he is offering because I don't want to be rude. He might hurt me if I still refused. I
started to get dizzy and saw his evil smile. He tricked me! My body is heating up and I felt helpless that time. He
started to undress me. I tried to shout and asked for help, but to no avail, all I can do is cry. Ken raped me! Leslie and
Kira, never returned. They betrayed me! Ken only stopped when a sirens of police mobile cars was heard.
*Sirens of police*

Policeman: Raise your hands!

Ken: Whoa! Officer, I'm just having a good time with my girlfriend.

Clara: H-he's n-not my boyfriend.

Clara: In my blurry eyes, Ken was arrested and a man figured appeared and hug me tight.

*Camille Saint-Saens – The swan starts to play*

*Lower the volume after 5seconds*

Diego: Clara! *cries*

Clara: Diego?

Diego: Yes it's me. Your mother called me last night and asked if you're with me. She's worried about you.

Clara: Where is she?

Clara: Diego bows his head. I know something is wrong. I don't know where I got some bravery to ask him what
happened to my mother.

Clara: Where is my mother?

Diego: *sobs* She had a heart attack right after she knew that you went to the bar. We sent her to the hospital but it
was too late.

Clara: *cries louder*

*Camille Saint-Saens - The Carnival of the Animals starts to play*

*Lower the volume after 15seconds*

Clara: After that incident, I don't know what to do. I stopped studying. I started to find jobs. But because of being
minor, mostly where I tried to apply, refused to hire me. Diego tried to help me but I refused. I broke up with him
because of the rape incident. I was afraid that time that I might be pregnant. But after a month, I was kind of relieve
that I'm not pregnant. I start to accept washing clothes so I can have my own money to live. Until one day, one of my
neighbor knocks on the door and gave me something.

Neighbor: Clara, your mother asked me to give it to you before she died. I told her that she should just give it to you
personally but she said that you might not accept it. If you have any concern or any question, don't be shy to knock
on my house. Your mother is kind. She's a hardworking woman I know. Take care, Clara.

Clara: My neighbor gave me an envelope and when I opened it, there's an ATM card, some cash and a letter. I
immediately read the letter.

*Fredric Chopin - Etude no. 3 in E major, Op. 10 no. 3 starts to play*

*Lower the volume after 10seconds*

Clara's Mother: Clara, I love you my daughter. I know you hate me so much because you think I betrayed your father.
Our family got broken because of me. I'm actually waiting for the right time to tell you the truth but I can't get a
timing because every time I tried to explain, you are already mad at me. It hurts a lot whenever I uncontrollably slap
you. It's not my intention to hurt you. Every night, I'm wondering why everything turns into chaos. The truth is, the
guy that you saw I'm embracing that time is your real father. His name is Rodolfo. Even I'm not married to him, he
still gives money to support you. We're not in relationship but he is a best friend of mine. The real reason I got
married to your father Raul is, my parents caught him raping me before and they thought he is the reason why I got
pregnant. Raul left us because he actually have his own family before you were born. He's not dead. Rodolfo is
actually the one who died. That's why I stopped you to see his funeral wake. I want you acknowledge him as a father
who passed away. I'm sorry, Clara. Sorry for everything. Use the money from the ATM card for you to live. All the
money from it came from your real father. I kept it because it was meant for you. Take care if I'm already dead. I love
you, daughter. Love, Mama.

Clara: I don't know what to feel anymore. All I can do that time is to cry every night. I regret all the bad things I did to
my mother. All the foul words I said to her. It was too late to realize that I love her and appreciate her. But now, as of
today, I have my own children. And happily married with Diego. Yes, to my ex-boyfriend. Many things actually
happened. I tried my best to escape my past and move forward. I might not totally move on but all I can say is it is an
unforgettable memory where I learn a lot of things. The key to overcome those past, you need to mature. You need
to think to every action you will make if it will affect the persons around you. Life may not be fair, but it's not a
reason to be unfair to others. Treasure what you have now, than lose it later on and regrets will succumb you. I wish
every listener learned from my story of my life. Very truly yours, Clara.

DJ: I can't stop my tears. To Clara, you're a brave woman. I salute you. So to all listener, don't regret later. It's already
time. Again, I'm DJ (name mo) Dramarama is signing off.
