identity you know.It has to be flawless and

smooth always.

Sarah:You are still the same.(takes the fashion

and looks at it surprisingly) Wow these

gowns are beautiful.Have you chosen one

already?

Claire:(moves close to Sarah) Am having a hard

time choosing since all of them look

absolutely beautiful.

to impress me.

juice)

David:(placing his hand around Claire's shoulders)

You mean?

Claire:According to me,we should only involve

family and friends with some business

associates.(writing on a note book)This adds

up to around fifty people.

David:We will conduct it as you wish.What about

your dress?

Claire:Mom helped me to choose one.It will be

arriving tomorrow from Turkey.

David:So you have planned everything.

Claire:I had to.We only have tomorrow to our

wedding day.By tha way,did Brylle agree to

become your best man?

David:Yeah.(nods)We already talked about it.

Claire:(touching the pinna of her ear) Well i think

everything is sorted out now.Cheers to that!

and a cling-like sound is heard)

(Davao(7:16 pm)

Katharine:I wish my wedding will be like that of

Claire.(washing dishes)

Marissa:Dear,don't slide easily into wishing to get

what other people have but have plans

for your own.Okay? Remember,if wishes

were horses,beggars could ride on them.

(wiping and arranging dishes in a dish rack

Katharine:Mom,it was just an opinion.

Marissa:When is the wedding?

Katharine:The day after tomorrow.You know what

mom?Claire is not a greedy woman

because i don't understand why she does

not want to invite many people but only

family and friends.She is so lucky to

have such a loving husband.They never

fall into quarrels.God,may you please

grant me such a husband.

Marissa:I hope it's not Sean.

Katharine:Mother?

Marissa:What?It's the truth anyways.Yesterday i

saw you two talk sweetly to each other.

Katharine:Mother you know i don't like those kind

of jokes.

Marissa:But it's the truth anyways.

Roxannie:What.(drops her fork and wipes her lips

with a dining towel.Your good for nothing

yet to become your wife is taking you

and my granddaughter away.

David:You know very well that we will have to leave.

This is about our family.

Roxannie:Oh come on.Am i not your family?

Claire:(shouts)Can we just have a peaceful dinner

for once mom?!

Roxannie:(spills wine on Claire) Do i look like your

mom?

Claire:(gasps wiping her face off)

David:(angrily) I wont allow you to continue

disrespecting my wife.

Roxannie:(claps)Well,well,well,see?You even don't

have respect for your mom anymore.

What a surprise?(pointing at Claire)She,

has already bewitched you David.

Claire:Am not in the moods to quarrel with you.

(leaves)

Roxannie:See,she doesn't have any respect at all.

She is just turning her back on me.

David:Will you stop pointing fingers mom?You get

what you give and that is what she is giving

you because she is fed up with you always

Are you still mad about yesterday?

Claire:You know what David,i don't get why your

mom hates me so much.

David:It is always a misunderstanding and believe

me or not,one day you two will get along.

Claire:A misunderstanding?Ha?I feel it that she

doesn't want the two of us getting married.

David:(whirls his arm around Claire's waist)No it's

that way.Just give her time to learn to be a

better stepmother to you.

Claire:Time?Time to keep harassing and battering

and pouring wine on me.(gets up furiously)

You know what David? I have tried to put up

with what she always does but it seems like

she is taking advantage of my decency.

David:(looks into Claire's eyes)I will make sure

everything goes well between the two of you.
