After a week, one day she felt she can't really love someone else and can't leave that guy so she called Zayan.
She: [sniffling] Hey...I miss you. I was wrong to leave. I love you.
He: [laughing] Oh, you think I care? You think I've been sitting around waiting for you?
She: [tearfully] Please...I'll do anything...just take me back...
He: [tauntingly] You're so pathetic. Can't even let go of someone who doesn't want you. Leave me alone, or I'll block your number.
She: [sobbing] I love you...I love you so much...please...
He: [coldly] Goodbye.
[Hangs up]
She: [wailing] No...no...no...
[Call ends]
[Mother storms into the room]
Mother: [angrily] What are you doing?! I thought we agreed you wouldn't contact him again!
She: [tearfully] I'm sorry, Mom...I couldn't help it...
Mother: [slapping her] You're sorry?! You're sorry for ruining your life?!
[Mother calls the boy]
Mother: [furiously] Who are you to my daughter?!
He: [defensively] She's the one who's been obsessed with me! I don't love her, and she won't leave me alone!
Mother: [outraged] How dare you! You've been manipulating her for months!
He: [smirking] Your daughter is the one who's been chasing me. I don't want anything to do with her. Keep her in limits.
[Mother hangs up, turning to her daughter]
Mother: [sadly] See? He doesn't even care about you. He's using you.
She: [shattered] No...no...this can't be happening...
[She breaks down again, sobbing uncontrollably]
Mother: [tauntingly] You're so stupid, thinking he loved you. You're just a fool.
[Slaps her again]
She: [cowering] M-Mom, please...
Mother: [scolding] You deserve this. You deserve to be slapped for being so naive.
[Little sister watches in horror]
Little Sister: [terrified] M-Mommy, stop! Please don't hurt her!
Mother: [yelling] Mind your own business! This is none of your concern!
[Little sister starts crying]
She: [whimpering] M-Mom, please stop...I'll do anything...
Mother: [disgusted] Anything? You'll do anything? You should have thought of that before you humiliated me with your antics.
[Slaps her again]
Little Sister: [wailing] M-Mommy, stop! You're hurting her!
[Scene ends with the sound of tears and slapping]
