ACT IIII

(A year has passed and the last time we heard about Nora is that she was working as a maid in a strange old mans house. The only person she talks to is the maid that she left her children with but she hasn't heard from her in a while)

(The phone rings..)

Maid: Hello?

Nora: Hey, its me.. Nora, how are my kids doing?

Maid: Ah madam, I haven't heard from you in a while what have you been up to? yes!(joyfultone)there magnificent, quite a handful I might have to say but there doing fine.

NORA: What about Torvald? Hes okay ?

Maid: Ugg, I wish I can say yes, but you know that's impossible madam. Ever since you left he was so sad and waiting for the day that you would return.. really depressing. He hasn't spent a lot of time with the kids lately but yes.. he will never give up his hope of being with you again.

Nora:Oh..(with a sigh)well you clearly know how I feel about coming back.. I know who I am now but I don't think I'm ready to go through that stuggle again..

Maid: very well then madam... But the kids miss you and I think you should come and ..(loud voice in the back round)

Torvald: Ann! who are you speaking to! Is it Nora ! Has she called for me !?

(from a distance Torvald is screaming and walking towards Ann. She hears his voice and the foot steps getting closer and closer)

Maid: Nora ! I have to go bye! (quickly slammed the phone down)

Torvald: who were you talking to? Was it Nora.. gosh please tell me it was Nora.. I miss my dear songbird..

Maid: (face turns red) umm.. no sir, it was Mrs.Krogstad asking for some ..ah .. some stuff (her eyes were shifting everywhere trying to think of what to say)

Torvald: oh. What did that lady want? For what you say? Are you lying to me Ann because if you are.. you are not a great liar.

Maid: Ok.. it was Nora.

Torvald: My Nora ! At last ! Will she come back ! Please do tell me what she said ?(he was so joyful and anxious)

Maid: (she broke it down gently to Torvald, slowly so he could understand) well.. see.. Nora.. well.. she will never come back Torvald not now, not ever. I know it brakes your heart to hear this but its the truth and you need to move on. The past is the past.

(He didn't say a word. Standing in front of Ann so awkwardly just staring at her. With a surprise look in his face)

Torvald: very well then ... I'm off to my study's..(walking away)

(As soon as he walks away, the maid stood there and was thinking to go talk to him but she walks away)

Maid: Oh .. He'll be alright..
 
(She goes back to her normal chores)

(Minutes later... A gun shot was heard.)

The End.
