CINDY
"Do something, Papa. Chet is breaking the engagement."
"Tumigil ka muna diyan, Cindy. I have bigger problems than you. Idinedemanda niya tayo ng fraud. Tinutulungan siya ngayon ni JC Escudero."
" Pero malukusutan mo yan di ba?"
" Kung may ebidensiya sila laban sa akin. Pero sabi ko naman kay Ching na idadamay ko siya laban sa anak niya."
" Hindi mo.magagawa yan kasi wala naman yatang pinirmahan si Ching na deal eh. Si Chester ang may ari ng kompanya nila at si Cheston ang nakalagay na heir. Di mo ba nakita yun ha?"
" Malay ko ba na si Chester at Cheston lang may ari nun."
" Mama, Papa, pano yan si Chet ayaw na niya sa akin."
" Cindy, matagal nang umaayaw si Chet sa iyo, di mo ba napapansin? Obviously ayaw niya sa iyo. Di ka man lang niya hawakan. Yang tatay mo lang kasi matigas ang ulo."
" Pa..."
" Cindy, pwedw ba. Kung gusto mo puntahan mo si Vheston at makiusap ka sa kanya. Ask him to help me and drop the case."
" Hindi ba pwede attorney na ikaso siya for failure to fulfill a promise to marry. Meron yun di ba?"
" Meron. Pero pwede din niyang sabihin na tinakot niyo siya."
" Pero pwedeng violation of the law yun di ba? Ano ang parusa yung promise to marry?"
" Babayaran lang ang nagastos. Tapos babayaran kanniya for a reputation na nasira. Pero kailangan din natin i prove na gusto kaniyang pakasalan."
" Cindy tama na yan"
" Ano gagawin ko?"
" If you want to help your family, kausapin mo si Cheston and tell him na papayag ka nang hindi kayo pakasal iurong lang ang demanda. L"
" Di ba trabaho mo yam, attorney?"
" Oo. Pwede kong sabihin sa kanila kung yun ang gusto niyo."
" No!"
" Cindy, hindi lang si Cheston ang lalaki sa mundo."
" Kayo ang may kagagawan nito eh. It's all your fault. "
"Tama na yan, Cindy. You are way out of line now."
"Attorney, call the Sys'"

"What is the deal, Sir?"
"They will return all the assets of your dad in the pretext that they will re sell it to you back everything that they took. AND no need to marry Cindy, unless you are really in love with their daughter. That's according to the lawyer. It was also in paper."
