SCENE 1
Narrator: Bawang Merah lies on her bed, and her mother yells at her because the sun is out. They start bickering because Merah still wants to sleep.
Mak Kundur: Merah…Merah, …where are you? Are you in your room?! (Walking into Merah room)
Bawang Merah: Hm…the weather is so lovely, making me want to continue my sleep more.
Mak Kundur: Oh My God. Hey, Merah! Why are you still sleeping? Get up! The sun is out now, my lovely daughter. Can’t you see?
Bawang Merah: Oh, mom, please don’t yell at me. It is still early in the morning. Plus, I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday.
Mak Kundur: Are you kidding me, Merah? It’s 2 pm now. Are you blind? Can you not see that the sun is high? Enough with your lame excuse. Now get up! Accompany me to the market now lazybones.
Bawang Merah: Oh, Mom! You ruin my mood! You are making so much noise.
Mak Kundur: What?! I know sleeping is all you want to, but now I don’t even care. Now get up and go for a shower. If not, I will keep nagging on you.
Bawang Merah Okay, Fine, Mom! I go for a shower now.
Narrator: Mumbling and bumping into Mak Kapur.
Mak Kundur: Wow, look who I bump too! Queen in this house! Hey Kapur! What took you so long to go back home?
Mak Kapur: Sorry, Kundur, I went to the market just now.
Mak Kundur: Cut the crap! Don’t lie to me. I didn’t believe you. Why did you not take Merah’s and my clothes from the room and wash it too? You purposely did it, right?
Mak Kapur: What?! Excuse me, it’s not my problem if you didn’t believe me. Plus, I did not notice there were any dirty clothes left. I thought I would bring all the clothes together to wash just now!
Mak Kundur: So rude! Shut up!
Mak Kapur: You shut up! I’m telling the truth. Wash your clothes on your own anyway—I’m not your maid.
Narrator: Mak Kapur walk aways, but Mak Kundur still wants to provoke her.
Mak Kundur : Still, I do not believe in you. Here! Take these clothes and wash them.
Mak Kapur : Can you give me a second. I’m tired of you Kundur. I just got back home. Please let me rest. I still haven’t eaten since morning.
Mak Kundur : What? Do you think only you are the one that tired? I’m also tired. By looking at your face already make me felt exhausted. The pity of you. So pathetic!
Mak Kapur : You tired? But I think I’m the one that does all the chores all this while. If you exhausted by looking at me, then don’t try to bother Puteh and me!
Mak Kundur : Excuse me, what? Are you talking back to me now? Wh…what?! Am I bothering both of you? Ugh..shame on you. We are just ordering you to help us since both of you live in my house.
Mak Kapur : No, Kundur, I’m just stating facts. Bear in mind, and I stay longer here than you okay, and I have the right to take this house if I want to. But I still have mercy considering you, and Merah would be a beggar if no one help. HAHAHA!
Mak kundur : You such an asshole! Nahh..whatever. If you insist I will ask Putih to do it. It is not a problem.
Bawang Putih : Wow, mom. She must think there is someone who will pity her, right? Shame on you.
Bawang Merah : We, not Putih, why are you so rude to us. She also you mother!
Bawang Putih : Ops, someone get angry and let me correct you. Stepmother was okay!
Bawang Merah : Both of you get lost!
Mak Kundur : Shut up everyone, take these clothes with you, Merah, give it to Putih. You! Old Woman, get lost now. Do not return to this house until you have finished your other work. Understand?
Mak Kapur : Sorry, not sorry. In your dream, I would help you! And…because your dull existence is the shit, you should be embarrassed about.
Bawang Perah : *smirk* serve her right. Do not let them bully us, mom.
Mak Kundur : You wicked bitch!
Narrator: Mak Kapur and Puteh go to their room.
Mak kundur : Huh…that old Woman always being dramatic and pathetic
Bawang Merah : Hm…I notice that. The same goes for her daughter. Such an idiot.
Mak Kundur : Luckily, you are smart. Now we need to find a way to get rid of them both!
Bawang Merah : I have an idea, mom!
SCENE 3
Narrator: Due to her fear of not finding the mother’s clothes, Bawang Putih walks along the rushing river. Meanwhile, her mother at home is worried about her.
Mak Kapur : Where are you, Putih? I am worried about you Putih. Please go home. It’s already night time, but you still haven’t returned.
Mak Kapur : No Kapur, you can’t stay put here. You must go outside to find your daughter near the river. Maybe she still washes clothes there. Yes, I should not be overthinking and just go check on her.
Bawang Putih : Oh my god, why you so clumsy Putih, now I wonder where those clothes have gone? Please don’t go missing, my stepmother will be angry at me and I being an asshole in front of her later on!
Mak Kapur : Usually, you go back by this time, but now you do not. I am afraid something bad happens to you Putih.
Narrator : Every time she sees a person, she asks them about the clothes her mother had washed away by the river, but everyone says that they haven’t seen anything.
Mak Kapur : Hi, did you see my daughter?
Bawang Putih : Hi, did you see any clothes near the river?
Bawang Putih : Could you please help me? Did you notice women’s clothes near the river?
Bawang Putih : Excuse me, auntie, did you see any clothes. Has it gone missing?
Bawang Putih : Thankyou.
Narrator : Bawang Putih comes to the place where the rivers flow into a cave. Surprisingly, there is an older woman in the cave.
Bawang Putih : I felt so lost now mom, I don’t even know why I came this far, to this place. It’s a cave anyway.
Narrator : Bawang Putih’s mother is worried about her.
Mak Kapur : Where have you been, my daughter? I can’t live without you. If something terrible happens, Merah and her mother will pay the price. I know this might be their plan!
Bawang Putih : I bet my mom must be worried about me now. I’m sorry, mom.
Old Woman: Hello, young lady!
Bawang Putih : *surprised looks* oh my god, who are you? And what are you doing here?
Old Woman: I have my right to be here, dear. Why are you looking so miserable?
Bawang Putih : Oh yes, you have the right, I’m sorry. I am now busy searching for my clothes that have gone missing. I need to find it.
Old Woman: Are you sure it was your clothes?
Bawang Putih : Actually, it’s my stepmother’s clothes. But I’m the one who washes those clothes, so I bet that if the clothes have gone missing, she will go crazy and punish me. I do not want to face that. So now, I need to find it. Did you saw any clothes near the river?
Old Woman: I did!
Bawang putih : Seriously? Are you sure?
Old Woman: Yes, I’m pretty sure.
Bawang Putih : Oh god, then why you don’t tell me earlier? Okay, now, where the clothes went for? Can you show me where it is?
Old Woman: You didn’t ask me, so I did not tell you. Of course, I can show you where it went to. But in one condition.
Bawang Putih : One condition? You get to be kidding with me, right? You are not helping me.
Old Woman: I’m trying to help you now. But you must agree with my condition first. Or else, I won’t help you.
Bawang Putih : Okay, then, what is the condition? Enlighten me.
Old Woman: You must stay with me for a week and help me do all the chores.
Bawang Putih : What?! That is too much. I’m not going to do that.
Old Woman: It’s only for a week. I’m sure you also want to have a break right from everything?
Bawang Putih : Hm..okay then. I follow you. But only for a week.
Old Woman: As you wish my dear.
Narrator : They went inside the cave.
