Season 1:Episode 9
Previously...
Claire:What do you need that huge sum of money for.
Cedric:I need to pay off someone i gumbled with.
David:Katharine?!Katharine?!
Katharine:David is going downstairs and the floor is wet.David,David,David please,wake up!
Roxannie:David's photo just broke.I have a bad feeling about this Jes.
Jeska:They say that is bad luck.Why don't you call David and ask if he is okay.
Cedric:Why don't you give me the passcode so that i can get it myself.
Roxannie:I've been trying to call David but he is not answering any of my calls.Can you tell him to call me if he is there with you.
Katharine:David slid and fell down.He is in the theatre now.
Claire:Cedric,i can feel that something is wrong.
Cedric:Because you just broke a glass?Those are just myths.
Katharine:Mom,i think i killed my boss.
Marissa:What nonsense.Where are you now?
Brylle:Where is David?What happened?
Roxannie:Katharine here can explain what happened.
.....................
Singapore(SIB Bank)
Claire:(waiting in a queue)This is what i don't like
with banks.Long queues.
Cedric:I gave you a better option but you chose
otherwise.
Claire:What were you even thinking about
gumbling with such a huge sum of money.
Cedric:As i told you,i was in need of that money so
badly.
Claire:I think it's true what they say.Luck doesn't
fall on everyone's arms.You are not a chosen
one of luck and so you should stop gumbling
Cedric.As a matter of fact,that shows that
men's life is so complicated.It's not based on
feelings like in women's lives.Gumbling can
be addictive and so you should stop it.
Cedric:But it's also sweet at times.
(Manilla City hospital)
Katharine:(rubbing her knuckles in fear)Aaaam.
Roxannie:What!(waiting for an answer seriously)
Nurse 2:(comes out of the theatre room)
Roxannie:(walks towards the nurse)How is he now.
Nurse 2:My apologies we can't tell you for now but
the doctors are trying their best.
Roxannie:Please do anything you can to save him.
Nurse 2:Okay.(walks away)
Roxannie:I just asked you a question Katharine.
What happened to my son?
Katharine:(continues to rub her knuckles)I was
cleaning the floor when i got pressed and
rushed to the washroom.After a while i
heard him fall down and on coming out,i
found him lying on the floor unconciously.
Roxannie:Why didn't you place the cautioning
board to alert that the floor was wet?
Katharine:I had no idea of where it was ma'am.
Roxannie:(slaps Katharine)You are such a careless
woman.
Katharine:(gasps)I didn't mean for it to happen.It
was just an accident.
Roxannie:An accident?Ha?And my son is just
trying to survive in there?I mean,you
can't be serious.(furious)You can't feel
the pain i am carrying in my heart right
now because you are not a mother.
(Receptionist desk)
Marissa:Excuse me,i'm looking for David Ladesma.
Receptionist:Who are to him madam?
Marissa:Aaam,am a family friend.
Receptionist:(suspects but shows her the way)
(Outside the theatre)
Roxannie:You don't have any idea of what it feels
like to give birth.
Katharine:(exclaims)But i told you it was just an
accident!
Roxannie:(slaps Katharine once more)Don't you
ever raise your voice on me again.
Marissa:(pushes Roxannie away from Katharine
and slaps her left cheek)
Roxannie:(gasps)How dare you
Marissa:How dare me?I should be asking you that
question instead.(pointing at Roxannie)
You cannot be harassing my daughter like
you used to treat Claire.Get me right here,
my child is not garbage.
Roxannie:So what?(fluffs her hair)Do i look like i
care?
Marissa:Well you should because my daughter is
not working for you anymore.
Roxannie:(chuckles in an arrogant manner)You
think i need her stinking help?Just leave.
She just brought trouble to my family in
her second day of work.Who knows
what she might do next time.Maybe she
will burn down the mansion.
Marissa:What do you think you have of much
importance that makes you think that we
need your filthy help.
Katharine:(wipes her tears and interupts)Mom,let's
go.
Roxannie:Wait!It's all because of your carelessness
that my son is in a critical condition now.
I would advice you to pray and fast that
he recovers soon because if he doesn't,
(increases her tone)I'll kill you myself.
Mark my words.
(Hours later)
[Outside the theatre(12:38 pm)]
Jeska:So,Katharine is still the perfect match for
David?
Roxannie:Of course.She is still the one i want.
Jeska:(shocked)You can't hear yourself now
Roxannie.That woman was just about to kill
your son.Don't you care at all?
Roxannie:Jes,am not in the moods please.
Jeska:But i can't let you throw your son's life away
just like that.
Roxannie:You are now being over authoritative.Jes
you might be my sister but i won't allow
you to plan things for me.Okay?
Jeska:Roxy,what you are doing is not right.
Roxannie:(looks at Jeska with a side eye)Jes,
instead of giving me all your stupid
lectures,you should be busy tring to fix
up your family that you broke and stop
minding so much about my family.
Jeska:(furiously)Don't you dare.....
Roxannie:What?!(moves away from Jeska)
(Outside Manilla City Hospital)
Katharine:(stops walking and stares)
Marissa:(notices after walking a few steps ahead)
Hey, Katharine!(walks towards Katharine)
Katharine?Let's go.
Katharine: This is not right at all.I am not going back
home mom.
Marissa:(shocked)What do you mean?
Katharine:I am not giving up so easily.Claire told
me to take care of them.
Marissa:You can't be serious.I can't believe you
want to go back there.That woman
humiliated you infront of people.I will never
allow you to go back there again.(grabs
Katharine's arm and forces her to leave)We
are going home right now.
Katharine:(pulls her arm back)Mom,will you stop?
You are just bringing a big deal out of this
It was just pain that drove her that way.
Let me ask you.How would you feel if
someone was about to kill me.Won't you
be furious too?
Marissa:Even if.She would never have humiliated
you that way.
Katharine:Didn't you teach me that we should
always account for our mistakes and to
not run away from them?
Marissa:But that was not a mistake but an accident
Katharine.
Katharine:And that's why i have to go back there
and help out in any way i can mom.I
can't break the trust Claire had towards
me.(goes back inside the hospital)
Marissa:(sighs and follows)

mistakes.
