After dinner at Ali's house.
Mak Minah (Ali's wife): Our son, Sulong has been talking to me about what he wants to do.
Ali: What does he want to do? He's past his eighteen years and must think of his future.
Mak Minah: He wants to join the police. He and his close friend Awang think there's good prospect for them in that service. The pay is good and the job is secure.
Ali: There, I must say I agree with them. But he must get the job first.
Mak Minah: Yes, you're right. Matter of fact, they are planning to go to the police depot at Banting on the post-office bus next week. But he wants your agreement and blessing first.
Ali:(With some enthusiasm.) That he has, though I would like to have a good talk with him before he goes.
