(Present)

"Bea, open this door now!" Det shouted with her wobbly voice while knocking on Bea's door repeatedly.

It's already 9pm, but Beatriz' family was still wide awake, they were all worrying about her condition inside her room...

"Bea, please?" Det whispered.

Bea locked herself on her bed the whole day, she wasn't in the mood to get out of her bed or even open her door for her mother. She had spent her day with her tears, with her madness, and with her sadness inside and out.

"Baby, open this na, please?" Said Elmer in a pleasing tone.

They were not able to open the said door kasi, and wala naman ding may kasalanan kung bakit nagkaroon sila ng anak na mas pasaway pa sa pasaway; Bea hid all the duplicated keys for her room...

"Better for them to sleep nalang..." Bea whispered as she get her phone on her side table...

-138 missed calls
-87 messages

All from her kuya Loel.

"Time wasters." She muttered as she placed her phone beside her.

"They were all waiting for me to get out of this room, do they really care about me? About my feelings?" She whispered as her tears flowed out her eyes for another time.

"They were all desperate to see you Bea, but here you are... ignoring, acting like you can't hear them." She said to herself as she wiped her tears out of her eyes, she chuckled silently after that.

"I can't blame myself naman..."

She stood and walked to her study table. Still ignoring the voices outside her room, the knocks and cries of her mom, the calls of her brother, and the pleasing of her dad. She don't even know why she's doing this to her family, all she knew was, she's in love...

As she get on her table, she teared a piece of paper from her blue notebook, and started writing words from her broken heart...

"Maybe, this thing is the most typical thing that a lady will do if her family took away the person they love the most..." She whispered with her endless-like tears.

(Flashback 1)

3pm.

"Do you really love my daugter, Jho?" Det asked Jhoana as she grabbed the lady's both hands.

Det phoned Alyssa this morning, asking where do Bea and Jho living now, if Bea's okay. If Jhoana was taking good care of her daughter. Alyssa didn't answer all of her questions, she just messaged Jhoana about their conversation of Det and let Jho make the decision...

Jhoana took the number of Det on Bea's phone, and have decided to call the said woman. She's really afraid now but still, she accepted the invitation of Bea's mom without telling Bea...

"Why do we need to talk here in this place ma'am? If you will ask me to surrender and to leave her, then I'll tell you for another time, I'm so sorry ma'am. We'll never surrender, we'll never be tired of waiting for you to accept us, we will face this cruel world, TOGETHER..." Jho said bravely as she took her hands from Det.

As she finished her sharp words, her tears slowly betrayed her braveness...

"We need our Bea, please ibalik mo na siya samin Jhoana..." Det whispered as her tears washed her strong image.

Det grabbed Jho's hands for another time, but her way of staring at Jho's eyes was now different than lately, she's pleasing her...

"Sorry po, I also need Bea right now...I love your daughter, ma'am. I can't live without her din, sorry po..." Jho whispered while covering her whole face with her hands that was attached with Det's hands.
