Kim: You always say that you will change, but you never did. I wonder if you really love me because
if you love me you won’t be like that, you will make an effort to make things right and you don’t have
time for me anymore. You’re always working and out with your friends, your stupid friends
you always listen to them I just wish you listen to me sometimes…..you’re making me insane, you’re
making me do things I never imagine doing. I wish things were different but this is our reality now
We can’t turn back the time.

Kim: Thank you Pam, I’m sorry that you had to see that and get involve in our messy situation.
You can get some rest now, everything will be fine tomorrow
Diane: Ok tita, you too
*Diane woke up early for school and sees no one in the living room, only the chair and the rope where
they tied Tom
Diane: Tita! Tita *knocking on the master bedroon. Uncle tom left. He’s gone. *holding the rope,
showing tali.
Tali and Diane went to the living room and saw a note. A sorry note from Tom.

MADZ: Let me take note of that and also, is it okay if you’ll send me a copy of your speech and
poems? Here’s my contact details by the way. *Hands out Calling Card* also, Mr. Chen also
wanted me to ask you if it’s okay that you’ll also be willing to give the award to one of the
winners.
LARRY: No problem with that. Just tell what I have to finish or what I must do.
MADZ: We will have a dry run on 27th of June 3:00 p.m. at the Richmond Hotel Grand Ballroom.
MADZ: Also, are you already informed that you must wear a barong on that day?
LARRY: yup. My assistant told me about that. On the actual day of the competition, what time we
must arrive?
MADZ: it’ll commence at exactly 1:00 p.m. we need you to get ready by 12:30. We have booked a
hotel already for you where you can get dressed on that day. It’s at room 3821 also in
Richmond Hotel. I’ll give the keys to your assistant that day. You can already use it by 10 a.m.
LARRY: Seems that everything’s fine already Mr. Glen. Is there any other concerns that I need to
know?
LARRY: since that we’re done already, let’s have lunch together. Their Tuna Pesto here is really
good.
MADZ: good thing that I don’t have any appointments anymore Mr. Tom. And yah, I already heard
that they do serve a great tuna pesto here.
LARRY: Great! Today’s my treat. Since I got to meet a fine lady today.
MADZ: and I’m a strong independent working woman Mr. Tom so let’s do 50:50
LARRY: Fine then Ms. Glen. And before I forgot I’m fine with just Tom. Remove that mister. It
makes me feel that I’m way too old.
LARRY: Glen it is, shall we order? Waiter. *waiter will come in*
LARRY: 2 Tuna Pesto and 1 apple mint tea and what drink do you want Glen?
LARRY: no problem.
*Waiter will leave the scene*
MADZ: Okay. So, I’m a Events planner for 10 years already. I’ve been working with my company for
3 years already. I’m a HRM graduate. And now, I’m living with my brother. He’s name is
Gino. How about you?
LARRY: Well I’m a poet obviously. I’ve been writing since I was a teen. It wasn’t my passion back
then but when I got into high school comics are really famous that time. Because of that, I
stated to love reading until I developed the enjoyment of writing some short lines and then my
friend will draw it. That’s how it all started.
LARRY: I had a wife before but we split already. We had one unborn child.
LARRY: it’s okay. How about you don’t you have your own family yet?
MADZ: Nope. I don’t have one. I just got a lot of things to do and finding or a parter is just a waste of
time for me.
LARRY: Why? Like I can see that you can do things by your own yet don’t you long for someone to
help you?
MADZ: I have my assistant to help me. The company is paying her to do those jobs.
LARRY: I get it but I do promise you. Being in love is greatest feeling you could ever experience,
MADZ: yes it can give you the greatest feeling but it can also give you the worst one right? I mean,
I’ve seen a thousand stories already. I’m no stranger to good and bad relationships. If love can
give you the pleasures you wanted then it also has the power to make you suffer and miserable.
LARRY: I see your point. Let’s talk about another thing. Where do you want to go for a vacation.
LARRY: hey Glen! You free tonight? Let’s eat! My treat. What do you want?
MADZ: I can’t tonight. There’s a lot of things that I still need to polish for the competition.
LARRY: Come on! It’s an exhausting day and you need to have a break once in a while. Okay, let’s
just have some ice cream in the park. It won’t take long.
MADZ: yeah you’re right. It is indeed an exhausting day and ice cream sounds so good. But I need to
leave immediately after.
*while sitting on a bench, tom and Glen will eat ice cream and will talk about life.*
LARRY: how are you doing today? Any plans for the weekend?
MADZ: I have been busy with work lately. I haven’t got anytime for myself.
Silence..
LARRY: uhmmm… I have something to tell you. It been bothering me all week and I haven’t slept
for days now. Im really thinking If I should go for it, but I am afraid.
LARRY:
SETTINGS: HOSPITAL
LARRY: Oh dear, there’s so much that I need to apologize. You’re spending your time to look for
me. Instead of managing your business and traveling and enjoying life, you’re imprisoned to
this hospital with me.
MADZ: I’d rather spend time being locked in here with you than being on a beautiful place worrying
because of you.
LARRY: With or without me on your side you’re still worrying about me.
MADZ: Well, I think that it’s not just me who does all these things; everyone here on earth would go
for an extra mile for those who they love.
LARRY: I’ve cost you too much. Not just your resources but also your time, effort, energy,
everything. Things that I don’t deserve. Things that you don’t have to sacrifice.
MADZ: Love is indeed costly my dear. If we want to love then we must all be willing to pay the price
that comes with it. And on my side, this is the price. Don’t you ever think that I regret paying
the price. Yes, it cost me a little bit of a burden but that burden is drowned by by joy. Joy that
I can only feel every time with you.
MADZ: Words aren’t enough. You can thank me by getting better. I’m just going to buy lunch. Do
you mind if I’ll leave you for a minute. I’ll be back as quickly as I can.
*Madz will buy lunch and when she comes back, Larry is already dead.*
DOCTOR: We gave everything that we can do to save him. I’m sorry Ms. Glen.
*wife and niece will slowly walk down the aisle. The legal wife will stare blackly on the coffin while
the niece is looking back and forth observing people and looking for familiar faces.*
*Wife will look for a seat in front and will see a vision of the mistress. Looking at her in disbelief.*
KIM: She’s a constant reminder that all the decisions that I made were all right.
IAN: Just don’t mind them. Remember, you’re here not to start a fight.
MADZ: I’m aware of that. It’s just that I know deep down in their own hearts, they’re cursing my soul
to burn in hell. I can’t blame them on that. After all, I’m just a mistress. A filthy mistress.
KIM: I can’t stand being on this one place with that woman. People will surely talk about us. I’m not
going to be surprised if tomorrow’s headline will be all about us.
FAYE: Calm down. The last thing you wanted to do is to make a scene with her. You’re the legal
wife. Don’t lower yourself with her level.
KIM: But I need to do something! I don’t want to wait for a reporter to interview me about why and
who really is that woman. We need to talk.
FAYE: You better stop whatever it is that you were thinking. Once you get close to her you’ll draw
more woods to the fire.
KIM: I think it’s already time to teach that girl where she really belongs.
FAYE: TALI!
MADZ: I strongly believe that there’s nothing that we need to talk about.
KIM: Don’t you have any little piece of decency left on you? You don’t belong here. You have no
rights to be here.
MADZ: And what kind of rights do you have to tell me the things that I can and cannot do?
KIM: I’m the legal wife and that’s more than enough reason for me to tell you that you don’t have a
place here.
MADZ: Ohh yes! I remember, you’re the legal wife who’s nowhere to be seen during the times that
his dying husband needs someone to support him. What a great legal wife you are.
KIM: Know your place. You’re just a mistress. You’re nothing compare to me.
MADZ: Compare to you? Ha! Yes, I’m nothing like you coz I’m way too far better than you.
KIM: Don’t be so proud of yourself just because Tom died in your arms. I met him first. I was the one
who get married to him.
MADZ: Tell me Tali what have you done for him aside from tying him up?
KIM: I was the one he loves before you came in to the picture.
MADZ: Was. It’s just a was. You may be the first but that doesn’t give you the award. I didn’t do
anything to you the moment that you arrived here. I just want him to have a peaceful and
decent funeral and I thought that we were on the same side when it comes to that point yet
what I can see now is the total opposite of it. I didn’t do anything to you because I do respect
what you and Tom had before I entered his life. Your story is different to ours Tali. I know that
you’ve been hurt a lot. And I can’t blame you with that yet I hope that most of them were your
fault too.
KIM: All that I wanted is to have him in this last moment. Because I lost him for a long time. I lost
him with you. I know that it was my fault. I know that at the moment that we got married I
must marry him with all of his vices. With all of his issues. Yet in the end I failed. All that I’m
asking you now is to just leave and give this last chance to me. You had enough time I know
that you know that.
MADZ: I will leave Tali. I will. But I will not leave defeated. I know that you know that also.
ANNALIE: finally! The words I’ve been wanting to hear was now finally spoken. Don’t mind what
she was saying Tali.
SHAIRA: yes Tali. Everybody knows that you’re the victim here and not her. Stop pretending and
playing victim here Glen. Now, get out of this place.
IAN: I hope that you are now feeling great after what you just did. You don’t know who my sister is.
What kind of person she is. My sister is a good person and she already proved that when she
didn’t do anything the moment she saw you. I thought that you’re an educated and well
mannered yet right now I am questioning my thought towards you.
*MADZ AND IAN WILL LEAVE THE FUNERAL*
*THE END*
