was not fired at all

Rising Action

The wife who approached him saw so many office stuffs on the living room
table and guessed that her husband has been fired from his job. He then
convinced her that he was not fired at all. Believing what her husband told, the
wife went back to the kitchen to finish her dinner preparation until her
husband called her again in an angry voice. He found a "baby" from the drawer
when he was going to put his file into it. He shouted so loudly and asked her to
destroy the "baby". She then went into the room with the "baby". Despite
destroying the baby, she hid the "baby" into her dress so she seemed to be
pregnant. The husband realized her disguise and tiredly asked her to
understand what he asked her to do. Yet, both of them were having a great
quarrel. He told her that it was not a real baby but a doll. She uncontrollably
told him that she wanted to have a baby but he just did not want it and the
"baby" was her true companion while she was all alone at the apartment. When
the man was going to throw it away the wife threatened him to go away. He
then gave up and let her kept the "baby" in one condition he did not want to
see it at home. The quarrel became more lunatic. The wife asked him to help
her take care of it but he did not want to. She then told him that he was so
selfish that he was so busy with his own jobs. The husband told her that he
was so busy doing the office works because many of his friends have been fired
and he had to do all the works in the office so he was always busy.

Climax
 Telling her the truth, the husband told her that all of his friends got a
party on their expulsion. He also told her that on each party held for every fired
worker, he/she would get a cake on which there are candles which represent
the time dedication towards the office. While talking about this matter,
suddenly there was a knocking at the door. The man opened the door and
found that there was a messenger. He was so shock when he was told that the
messenger conveyed a message from his office to hold a party for him. The
messenger asked him what kind of cake favor he liked and how many years he
has served the office. Astoundingly, he tried to tell the messenger that he was a
great model of employee and he has been worked well for the office. Yet, the
messenger insisted him to choose the cake favor as soon as possible.

Falling Action

After the messenger gone, the husband approached his wife and told her
the truth. In a sudden realization, he asked his wife whether she told about the
"baby" to other people. In spite of a little forgotten about it, she then came to
remember that she ever told about the thing to woman in order to make her
jealous. The husband was so angry when he heard that. He told her that the
woman was so evil that she wanted to get his job in the office. Yet, it was too
late for him to do something. He was just fired and he then asked his wife to
throw away the "baby".

Resolution

She hardly made decision between her husband and the "baby", but after
all she decided to leave her husband and went with Emma, her "baby".

(PROJECT 4THQUARTER) ENGAGING SCENARIO

Marites, a star employee in the GRIFIN Company was walking in the lobby
when Cecil suddenly appeared and they clashed each other.

Marites: Hey! Watch where you going!

Cecil: [crying] I’m sorry, I didn’t see you.

Marites: Why are you crying? Here, please take my handkerchief. [Guided
Cecil in the empty room)

Cecil: Thank you so much.

Marites: Why? What happened?

Cecil: I don’t want to work with Jay anymore! He is so annoying. He

always cut me off and doesn’t listen to my idea/opinion. I thought
we are a team.

Marites: Aww, I think you need to settle the problem with him personally
and ask him what his problem with you. You now, not everyone is
 going to like you or we’re not always going to like everyone we
meet. It’s helpful to remember that who we perceive someone to be
is not necessarily who they actually are. You need better
communication.

Cecil: Yeah, I think he misunderstand my intention. I was just trying to

help him. I need to talk to him. Thank you very much [hug
Marites].

Marites: Welcome. You and Jay will be okay, just talk to him. I know you
are both a good person, it was just misunderstanding.

Cecil: You are the best Marites, that’s why boss like you so much. You
know how to communicate with others and understand them.

Marites: [smile] [saw Jay passed by] Oh, Jay is there. Talk to him now.

Cecil: Yeah, I will go now. Thank you again.

[Cecil exits the room and talk to Jay, her team mate]
