~Phone rings~

Vilu: (Pulled away) Uhm... Sorry... One moment. (Picked up) Hello...?

Tanya: Good news Violetta. We've added 197 shows to your tour.

Vilu: (Widened her eyes and got up) Wait, what?!

Tanya: But don't worry, each month we will give you a 2 week off.

Vilu: Huh?!

Tanya: Your career has been such a huge success, everybody is dying to see you. Tickets are selling out in minutes. This is such a great accomplishment in your career.

Vilu: Wait, hold on. We need to talk about this. I think its-

Tanya: Another good news Violetta. When your tour starts in november-

Vilu: What?! November? No, no. You said yesterday it was next year-

Tanya: About that, your talent agent thinks that by doing this, it will push your career to its fullest potential. You're already a star, but he wants you to be even bigger.

Vilu: No, this can't be. I'll talk to Ronnie. I'll convince him to shift the tour date.

Tanya: His decision is final Violetta. It's already written in all the websites and everyone's getting your tickets.

Vilu: No, no, no, there must be a mistake. Make him change it Tanya.

Tanya: I'm sorry, I'm not in control here. On the contrary, I can't wait to see you shine. You were to born to shine Violetta. can't wait to see you soon. (Hung up)

Vilu: (Shocked)

Leon: (Sighed) They added more tour dates for you too?

Vilu: How'd you know?

Leon: They did it for me too. I start at the end of this year...

Vilu: Wait, WHAT?! Why didn't you tell me this before?

Leon: I was going to but... I was waiting for the right moment. I knew how you felt the last time I left.

Vilu: Yeah Leon but... now I'm leaving first. What's gonna happen to Mason?

Leon: (Shook his head) I... don't know.

Vilu: No, no. I'll call and cancel my tour.

Leon: What?! NO! You can't do that. Everyone's already buying it. They'll be so heartbrokened if you don't show up.

Vilu: What about you?

Leon: Don't worry about me. I'll find a way.

Vilu: NO, this can't be it. I have a responsibility as a mother to be there for my child. I can't abandon him.

Leon: You're not abandoning him. How long is the tour...?

Vilu: It's 197 shows. Based on my knowledge... It's around... 3 years.

Leon: (Kept quite then shooked his head) No, this is too big for you. I'll cancel my tour.

Vilu: (Shooked her head and held him) No, no, no. Leon, don't. You can be dropped.

Leon: (Shrugged) I don't care. The most important thing to me is you and our child. I want what's best for the both of you.

Vilu: So it's best if I go on my tour and you are stuck taking care of Mason?

Leon: (Shrugged) There's no other choice.

Vilu: I already said I was going to cancel my tour.

Leon: You CAN'T DO THAT VIOLETTA. Your agent is Ronnie Samuels. Do you know how many people are dying to be under his support? 197 shows is massive Violetta. But You're a star. And he knows what you're doing. So go on your tour and make me proud. (Smiled)

Vilu: You'd sacrifice your career for me?

Leon: I'd do anything for you Violetta. I have a responsibility too okay?

Vilu: This is all my fault. Actually, it was both of our fault. We had Mason to early. We should have seen this coming. We made another mistake again in our lives. We're always doing things wrong-

Leon: Hey, hey, hey. We had Mason and that's that. You can't change the past.

Vilu: And that's why we're not gonna have any more kids. This is the last mistake I'd ever want to commit. No more mistakes alright.

Leon: So having Mason was a mistake now?

Vilu: I love him Leon but look at the both of us right now. We should have waited a bit longer. There's problems because we have Mason. Now both of us can't go on our tour and one of us has to sacrifice for the other.

Leon: Isn't that part of a relationship?

Vilu: I'm just saying that if we didn't have Mason, we'd be more happy because we both would be able to go on our own tour and there would be no problems.

Leon: And how do you know there wouldn't be any problems?In fact, there would be even more problems. You and I would be separated and we'll be doing our own things. We'll be too busy to even think of each other. Next thing you know, I'd have a rumored girlfriend named Melanie and the internet would go crazy over it. And once you see it, you would be heartbrokened and EVERYTHING will be ruined. You'd probably move to Italy to forget me and change your life. Then you might meet another guy there. Do you see the possible outcomes?

Vilu: You might be right but my decision is final.

Leon: (Stared at her) Alright then. If that's your decision, I can't change it. (Got up)

Vilu: You know, sometimes I question our marriage.

Leon: (Turned around) OKAY, don't even go there alright. We're done here.

Vilu: Sometimes I think we got married to young.

Leon: (Sighed and shook his head) I don't need this.

Vilu: There's so much pressure. I can't handle being a star and maintaining my personal life. Something's gonna go wrong eventually. We both know that.

Leon: You're right then. Here it is. Now what huh?!

Vilu: I'm just saying how I feel. I feel like it's hard for the both of us to carry on like this while being in this stage of our relationship.

Leon: Then WHY DID YOU AGREE TO MARRY ME?!

Vilu: You asked, how could I say no...

Leon: So it's my fault?

Vilu: No....

Leon: Okay then, I get it. It's my fault. I'm sorry. You're right. This is too much for us. I'm sorry that I loved you so much.

Vilu: (Was gonna cry) Are we... breaking up again?

Leon: You tell me. (Walked off)
