[Scene 1]

Amara:(To herself in her bedroom staring in space)Who would have thought that it has been a year since Dave left (sighs).(Now in tears) If only I knew that life had other plans for us, we would have spent more time together. The pain is still fresh in my heart as if it was just yesterday. So many ifs,(voice cracking as she sobs),why?! [Enters Alex, a childhood friend of amara]

Alex: Amara, we talked about this. Dave wouldn't be happy wherever he is right now ,seeing you like this. You have to try to move on.(places a hand on her shoulder). I know I can’t even imagine the pain you are feeling now, but you have to try.Why don't you try therapy?(Amara shrugs his hand off her shoulder)

Amara:(feeling tired and frustrated) I thought we talked about this.

Alex:I know but you have to talk about what happened to someone even if it's not me, to help you heal of the pain.Please(folds his hand together pleading).Please?

Amara:(sighs)Fine.But on my terms..

Alex:(feeling at ease)Anything.I will fix an appointment.(Hugs her) don’t worry you are going to be fine(pats her back)

(Amara nods)

Dr.Rose:okay.Let's talk about how you are feeling right now.What are you feeling now,what are the emotions you are feeling now?

Amara:I...feel..so lost and tired...(Voice breaking)angry at myself for being so helpless that I couldn't do anything to stop what happened.It’s all my fault.

Dr.Rose:(passes a tissue to Amara).It's nobody fault.You were part of something that you could not control.

Amara:No, I could have done something (crying)I just...

Dr.Rose: it’s okay, we can stop if you don’t want to continue.

Amara:No,I.. let’s go on, I have to do it, I don’t know if I can keep it bottled up anymore Dr.Rose:okay.Let's continue.You were saying you could have stopped it . what do you mean?

Amara:it was a Saturday morning.Dave came to get me at home for a date we had planned for weeks.

Dr.Rose: And who is Dave?

Amara:We were supposed to get married,we were engaged.So I was getting dressed for us to leave.We left the house and got in the car.The day was going smoothly, too smoothly if you ask me.It was already late in the night, and Dave suggested we call it a night and go home but...(Feeling short of words). I told him,no.That I wanted to watch a movie that night and that we should go to the cinema that just opened.He suggested us going home for .us to watch any movie I  liked at home. But I was stubborn and insisted that we go to the cinema.He gave in.

Dr.Rose: So what happened next?

Amara:There was an accident.A truck ran into the car at full speed, Dave didn’t make it to the hospital, but I did.(Burst in tears),I survived.If only we went back home, he would still be alive, it's all my fault, I should have died with him.

Dr.Rose:Amara look at me. It was not your fault.You didn't know there would be an accident.it was something one could have for seen.

Amara:No,no no.(Crying)I....

Dr.Rose: I know you are feeling so much pain right now, but I need you to know that it wasn’t your fault,okay.I guess we should call it a day.why don’t you go home and rest, we can continue another day, is that okay?(Amara nods)
