IN THE GARDEN AT ARASH’S HOUSE
THE SUN IS BEGINNING TO SET

There is a small garden at the back of the house, some bushes and shrubs are planted along the wooden fence on both sides. Rose bushes and other flowers thrive in the garden. The sitting room door that opens into the garden is ajar, a few garden chairs can be seen around a table placed on the stone covered patio area. Arash is wearing a brown jumper and is sitting on a chair facing the garden. A bottle of vodka, a bottle of lemonade and a bowl of crisps and nuts can be seen on the table in front of him. Sarah is sitting across from him wearing comfortable clothes. They are both holding a glass.
SARAH: Turns to Arash as she takes a sip of vodka.
“I drink to you and the children‟s health.”
ARASH: Raises his glass
“To you and the kids. You are all I h

ave in this world.”
SARAH: “I have some very good news for you.”
As she smiles at Arash
“Guess what it is. Close your eyes, I want to show you something.”
Arash smiles and nods in agreement. Sarah quickly enters the sitting room. After a brief moment she peeks out of the sitting room door.
SARAH: “Ready? Then close your eyes.”
Arash closes his eyes. Sarah enters the garden holding a glass frame and a large envelope. She hands a nicely framed commendation letter to Arash.
SARAH: “Don‟t open your eyes yet.”
She quickly takes out a tissue out of the box and wipes the frame. 

O.K., now you can open your..
