387. MATILDA: At least for sixth months. Mmm..Sarah… My advice, I think you’d better stop calling him. Maybe the situation will get better that way, so you won’t have to think about it over and over again. At least for six months.

395. NARRATOR: Suddenly IVAN woke up. He laying in his bed. At the same time, he was longing for her. It’s almost one year since he met her. Even when he had a chat with Ruth, he didn’t get any news about SARAH. He got very depressed.
396. SCENE 29: INT. AT IVAN’S ROOM
397. IVAN: If I call her right now, would she has a willing to talk with me? Are there any possibilities that she got disappointed and upset because I almost never replied her SMS. She has never called me anymore this far. Is it possible that she thought because I never replied her SMS, so she didn’t have any courage to call me. Oh, SARAH. I miss you so much.
398. SFX: A SMS ring.
399. IVAN: From Ryan: “IVAN, would you accompany me to buy some books this afternoon? This is Sunday. You do have a holiday, don’t you Mr. lecturer? Meet me in the bookstore at 1 p.m., Ok?!”
400. SCENE 30: In The afternoon…AT BOOKSTORE
401. RYAN: Hi IVAN. My manager asked me to buy him several IT books. You know much about those kind of books, right? Which one is the best?
402. IVAN: Oh, my God…It’s just it?! All of the books in that rack come from good publishers (pointed to one of the shelves). I want to go another counter, OK?
403. RYAN: Do you want to buy some novels?
404. IVAN: I don’t know, I just need some entertainments.
405. RYAN: Oh…even a lecturer like you wants some entertainments too?!
406. IVAN: Hey, I’m not officially become a full time lecturer, you know?!
407. RYAN: Yeah, but it’s your obsession since a long time ago, right?
408. IVAN: Ok, thanks. I’ll go that way. If you want to go home, call me. We’ll meet at the cashier, Ok!
409. RYAN: Ok boss!
410. IVAN: Wow…There are a lot new release novels…I think that there would be some new novelists too. This novel is so thin (picking one book in his hand), is there any novel like this? Oh, it’s not a novel. It’s a poems collection.
