*[The weapon goes off, the bride falls down; a moment of silence ; the courtain drops]
Scene II:
mire_a: (he is shocked; he slowly aproaches the bride) Chrisitn! Christin! My God!!?!What have I done? Why have I chosen to punish you in such a way? Why couldn’t I just forgive you? Open your eyes and look at me, Christine…and tell me that you love me… What have I done? What have I done? … (he slowly goes back)
mire_b: Christine-Christine-Christine! … Oh sweet little Christine … You wished for love…I gave you love…but apparently it was not enough!!!… (he suddenly becomes violent) How could you do such a thing!?!…How could you humiliate me like that?!? Death is too easy for what you have done!…Humiliation was more appropriate for you … but there’s no need for you to face the consequences … all you have to do now is sleep … Sweet dreams,my bride … Sweet Dreams…
mire_a: (he walks around the bride and takes a close look at her) How could I punish you in such a crule way?How could I forget the love we had and just pull the trigger? How could I look you in the eyes and be so cold as you were rushing to the ground? … I was so cold … Much too cold … and now you’re the one that’s lying cold on the floor…
*[he takes off his coat and covers the bride with it]
mire_b: How easy it is for you right now! You’re sound asleep and you can’t hear me while I’m wasting my breath over here… (he takes the coat off her and throws it away) The world will feel sorry for what you’ve suffered … But they will not no anything of what i’ve suffered!!!….How could you be so cold?? How could you look me in the eye and tell me that you love me and run away and cheat on me!?!…Did you love me then!?!…or was I just a peon in your despicable game?!?!…Come on!…Answer my question!!!… (he waits for an answer, and then leaves and heads for the back of the stage)
mire_a: (he slowly closes in) Forgive me, my bride!…Forgive me!…For everything I’ve done wrong…for I have made you suffer…for I have been so blind that i couldn’t see that things were not going the way they were suppose to…Fogive me for what I’ve said and what I’ve done … Forgive me for the way I acted…for not listening to you……Forgive me…for killing you… ( he kisses her hand and heads for the back of the stage)
mire_b: So much guilt and no room for forgiveness!…Maybe I should have let you live for while…but not too much…just a bit so that you could appologise for what you’ve done…for how you treated me…for all the lies that you’ve told me…for how you looked me in the eyes smiling…and then turn your back on me and forget about our love… But there’s no room for your forgiveness here right now… All that’s left is an ocean of tears and my broken heart… (he steps back very dissapointed)
