Diego: Yeah definitely. It isn’t that far.

Isabella: I wish her luck in all her endeavors.

Diego: You know, its funny how you and Morena went from being enemies to being friends all of a sudden.

Isabella: We’ve all made poor choices. If not for Morena, We wouldn’t have been together today. I should’ve been thankful to her instead of antagonizing her all those times.

Diego: Oh well, It’s all in the past.

Isabella: Yea. So what would you like for supper?

Diego: Grilled chicken will do.

(Later that day)
(At Uncle Roberto’s house)

Morena: Good evening uncle.

Uncle Roberto: Welcome back. How was work today?

Morena: Magnificent! The greatest thing happened. The CEO of the restaurant I work in took me to a br@nd new restaurant and he said he wants me to have it.

Uncle Roberto: (amazed) Wow!

Morena: We’re going to sign a contract tomorrow so he can legally hand it over to me.

Uncle Roberto: This is great news. I’m happy for you.

Morena: Thank you sir…

Uncle Roberto: (sighs) I’ve alre-ady filed for a divorce to cancel my marriage with Maria. I don’t want to have anything to do with that demon ever again. I’ll just focus on the only child I have left.

Morena: (looks down) I don’t even know what to say…

(Just then, Juan enters the living room)

Morena: Juan! I bought something for you – lots of chocolates, sweets and biscuits.

Juan: (poignantly) Thank you.

(He goes back into his room)

Uncle Roberto: (sighs) He has refused to eat since yesterday.

Morena: I un-derstand…He just lost his twin sister and his mother got put in jail. That’s really difficult for a child to go throu-gh.

Uncle Roberto: We should just leave him alone…

Morena: No, Loneliness might wors£n his case. Now’s the time he’ll nee-d someone to confide in. I’ll go talk to him…

(Morena goes to Juan’s room)

Morena: Hi Juan.

(Juan remains silent)

Morena: Juan, I totally apprehend what you’re going throu-gh right now.

Juan: (quietly) My sister’s dead and my mom is in jail.

Morena: I’m aware. Look, Sometimes bad things happen and there’s nothing we can do about them. We just have to move on. You know, I lost my mom when I was about your age. I felt really devastated but I remembered that, When there is life. There is hope.

Juan: Really?

Morena: Yes. I know I can never take the place of your mother or your sister but I just want you to know that I’ll always be there for you, Okay?

(Juan nods his head)

Juan: (crying) I love you, Morena.

Morena: I love you too.

(Juan hvgs Morena and she hvgs him too)

(Minutes later)
(She goes back to the living room)

Morena: Uncle, I’ll be going to visit Aunt Maria in prison later.

Uncle Roberto: What for?

Morena: I want to go and give her food. I’m sure they don’t feed them well.

Uncle Roberto: Wow. So you actually care about the person that literally tried to kill you….You’re really special.

Morena: Sometimes it isn’t good to pay evil with evil. She’s alre-ady learnt her lesson the ha-rd way.

Uncle Roberto: (sighs) Hmmm…

Morena: That place is a hell hole. I wish we could get her out of there.

Uncle Roberto: Unfortunately, The court refused to grant her bail. (sighs) There’s nothing else we can do.

Morena: You don’t have to pretend to be innocent Uncle, I know you were the one who called the police on her.

Uncle Roberto: I’m not even going to deny it. I mean, I’ve always known Maria to be so insecure but I never knew it’ll reach the extent of trying to murder someone out of envy and hatred. First, She burnt you with an iron and you got hospitalized, Next, She tried to poison you and my daughter paid the price for her wickedness. Who knows what she would have done next? I couldn’t take any chances….

Morena: (sighs) Some p@rt of me feels sorry for her for what she’s going throu-gh right now.

Uncle: It’s just karma….

(Later on)
(At Cecilia’s house)

Celine: Sis, The lady is here.

Cecilia: Hmm, Ok. Let her in.

Celine: Alicia. Come in.

Cecilia: (recalls her) Alicia?

(Alicia enters the house and much to her displea-sure, She sees Cecilia)

Alicia: (shocked) Cecilia?

Cecilia: (angrily) Celine! Why did you bring this streetfighter to my house?!

Alicia: (To Celine) Is it this stupid bit-ch you actually brou-ght me to work for? (points at Cecilia)

Celine: (confused)

Alicia: Wow, So she’s you sister? (looks around the house) So Cecilia, This is the shack you live in?

Cecilia: So Alicia, This is the shack you plan to work in? (she retorts)

Alicia: (To Celine) Babe, I’mma prefer to die of hunger than to work for this stupid bit-ch…

Cecilia: (retorts) And what do I nee-d a scoundrel like you for? You would only wreck my home. (hisses) Get out of my house!

Alicia: (infuriated) fv¢kin’ stupid bit-ch!

(Alicia angrily exits the house and slams the door at Cecilia)

Cecilia: (hisses) Idiot! (To Celine) Celine, How dare you bring that thing into my house?

Celine: I’m really sorry sis. I wasn’t aware that you and Alicia know each other and aren’t on good terms…

Cecilia: (furiously) Alicia is such a crazy useless girl. We were working in the same restaurant before she got fired for her terrible cooking and behavioral misconduct. Before you can say anything, She’s alre-ady chasing you with a knife.

Celine: I didn’t know…

Cecilia: Where on earth do you even know her from?!

Celine: We once worked together in a milkshake factory. I befriended her cause she was really kind and helpful to me and I wanted to repay her….

Cecilia: Whatever. Don’t ever bring that crazy lunatic near my house, I don’t want to ever see her again.

Celine: (sighs) No problem sis.
