QUE SERA SERA EPISODE 1
[Sound of siren from ambulance siren and little moaning from a dying
person)
MENSAH: Im so scared I will lose you Akotowaa. (Sobs loudly) You
shouldnt have gone on this field trip. (Sobbing) Doctor she keeps
emaciating as the day goes by, Im so scared, and will she make it?
DOCTOR OSEI: We are trying our best. The rest is prayers. (Signs and
hands him an envelope)This is the result of your test but before I hand
it over I want to advice you. Whatever the outcome is please
remember there is still hope. Take heart!!!
Shuffling of paper as Mensah opens the envelope.
MENSAH: I have HIV too and you say there is hope? When Im on the
verge of becoming a corpse you tell me to take heart?
(Sound made by struggling such as shuffling of feet, pushing of chairs,
etc.). Doctor Osei tries in vain to calm Mensah down.
DOCTOR: Let go off me Mensah are you going out of your mind? For
God's sake calm down. This doesnt mean its the end of your life.
There are drugs that can help control the spread of the virus.
MENSAH: Do you know what it feels like to be betrayed by someone
you truly love? I have spent my entire life making sacrifices for this
woman and all she could do is to infect me with this demon virus? She
knew she was positive yet allowed me touch her. This is wickedness
and she deserves death this instant.
Sound from Akotowaa gasping and moaning undertone.
DOCTOR OSEI: Mensah stop it you are choking her.....please leave her
alone. Killing her will only worsen the situation. Pleaseeeeeeee......

Sound fades out gradually.

time....it felt so real...Akotowaa has HIV and she infects me? Should I
