Act One, Scene One

(The Tony's were at the dining table having their breakfast on the early morning of monday)

Betty: Mum, I will love to have a laptop of my own. All my friends already have theirs, mum am the only one left out. Please mummy get one for me....

Mrs. Tony: Dear you know I will do anything for you. Put your mind at rest, you will surely get one soon...

(Mr. Tony gently cutting in)
Mr. Tony: Woman stop spoilling her by alway giving her all she request for. You need to learn to withhold some of her demands sometime. By the way wouldn't possession of laptop makes her lose focus on her studies.
If she fail her coming final year examination, you alone will bear the consequ.........

(Cutting him short)
Mrs. Tony: She's our only child, my precious stone, our sunshine. Why can you just make her feel happy a little by giving her all she want from us.
You know she don't has any other parent aside us dear?

(Sighing)
Mr Tony: I warn you woman, if you get her this laptop, she would never focus on her studies.
Moreover, the stories that I am hearing about teenagers this days makes of shiver, just recently I even read on Nairaland about a certain young lady that went a guy's house and was raped to death. Both met on facebook and the guy invited her to his place. I don't wish my precious daughter to be a victim.

Betty: Dad! I will not be a victim of that kind of circumstance in Jesus name

Amen o! (shout Mrs. Tony)
Mrs. Tony: Betty my treasure, I will get you the laptop when am coming back from work tomorrow, ok!

(Rushes to her mother to hug her)
Betty: Thank mum, I love you, you are best mother anyone could wish for!

Mrs. Tony: I love you too dear!

(Sighing and then hiss. Mr. Tony stands up and as he goes out, was heard saying)

Mr. Tony: I warn you, never say I didn't warn when the consequence falls heavily on your head.
