"GET MARRIED

.... and leave.

Will you still follow, my soon-to-be Mrs. Esperanza?"

"That will be hard. Besides, he lost millions, and you got his old loyal customers."

"So, you won't follow anymore?"

"He knows I'm nothing compared to him. So, I don't feel he will marry me."

"We came this far, Isla."

AUNT: This is too much. What is this for?

ISLA: For Faith.

AUNT: For Faith?

ISLA: For her hospital bills

AUNT: What?

ISLA: Why?

AUNT: Faith was dead.

ISLA: When?

AUNT: On the day when the bomb exploded... Are you serious?

ISLA: I... I thought Faith was just in a coma.

AUNT: She's dead, Isla. What are you talking about? She was dead on arrival.

ISLA: Gray, Faith was dead.

GRAY: I know.

ISLA: She's just in a coma.

GRAY: Ha?

ISLA: We visited her just last month.

GRAY: Yeah.

ISLA: Yeah.

GRAY: Yeah. We visited her grave last month.

ISLA: No, in the hospital.

GRAY: Ha? Are you serious, Isla?

ISLA: You said to me just last month that you're the one who's supposed to be in a coma, not Faith.

GRAY: I didn't say that. Faith is dead... Are you...?

Then Auntie and Gray just stared at each other, looking so confused.

"I think we need to talk", Gray said.

GRAY: Isla, Faith was dead on arrival when the bomb exploded in January 2014. Remember?

ISLA: I thought she was sent to the hospital

GRAY: Yeah, but she was dead on arrival. Why did you have that idea? Have you seen Faith lying on the bed in the hospital?

ISLA: Yeah.

GRAY: When?

ISLA: Since she was sent to the hospital up until just last month.

GRAY: You visited her in the hospital?

ISLA: Yeah.

GRAY: How often?

ISLA: Once a month.

GRAY: Who said she's in a coma?

ISLA: I... I don't remember. I just thought she was in a coma.

GRAY: Really?

ISLA: Yeah! That's why we took revenge, right?! For money, for Faith!

AUNT: You two got revenge? On whom?
