A Forgotten Emotion
The beginning of the end
Miranda enters Victor's office with a boxed lunch
Miranda
Vic, I made you home made lunch, I knew you wouldn't be able to get lunch since you're busy
Victor
Thanks babe, what would I ever do without you
Miranda
So aside from lunch, I thought we could discuss how serious our relationship has gotten, we've been together for 3 years now, don't you think it's time?
Miranda
You know...... finally announcing that we're a couple, I don't wanna be with you in secret as if it's a crime
Miranda
I wanna be able to stand with you, next to you, beside you, as your woman........ and maybe someday as your wife(blushes)
Victor
Why do you wanna rush things Mira, I thought we already talked about this, I'm yet to become the leader of dad's company, until then, I can't show up with you
Miranda
But why, you never give me a good reason
Victor
Because my dad wouldn't allow it so easily, he'd even take my shares away for not marrying a woman of him and mom's choice
Miranda
I see, I promise I'll work hard to become a woman they can accept
Victor
That's my girl.......... I'd better eat before lunch gets cold, you should probably go too, I believe you have an exam this afternoon right
Miranda
Yeah you're right, I need to pass my bar exam so I can finally become a reputable attorney to back your company
Victor
I hope you pass babe, good luck(waves)
Family ties
Miranda fails her exam for the second time...... she goes home disappointed
Mira enters her mother's house half heartedly
Mira's mother
Miranda!! welcome home my darling...... you arrived just in time for dinner(notices Miranda's tears)
Mira's mother
Are you okay hunny?
Miranda
Mom!!(hugs her) I don't think I can do this anymore
Mira's mother
Do what my dear? (pet's Miranda's head)
Miranda
I don't know, maybe all of it, maybe I'm just not good enough or maybe I don't deserve such a life
Mira's mother
No Miranda, you're my daughter and you deserve only the best, you just need to keep trying, and if you still don't pass, who says you can't continue your life
Mira's mother
I'm your mom so even if you grow old, I'll still provide for you for the rest of my life okay
Miranda
Thanks mom, but maybe I really should try something different
Mira's mother
but you've always dreamed of being an attorney, it's been your whole life
Miranda
Some dreams don't come true mom, it's hopeless
Mira's mother
Do you think your dad had that kind of character when he chased his dreams
Mira's mother
Your dad had the worst grades in junior high but that never stopped him from reaching for the top and becoming a fine neuro surgeon
Mira's mother
It's not about failing, it's all about pulling through and going beyond your limits so don't give up okay hunny
Mira's mother
The daughter I know will never settle for a life less than what she desires(warm smile)
Miranda
You're right, thanks mom...... you're the best
Victor
Hi Vanessa, it's been a while, how have you been
Vanessa
I've been well thank you, I just arrived in Dowa City for an event following the sequel of the serie I acted in
Vanessa
I hoped you would go with me so we could catch up, but if you're occupied then we can always meet some other day
Victor
It's alright, I'll add the event to my schedule, after all, we've known each other for quite some time now
Vanessa
Thank you Victor, I really appreciate it
Victor
Hi hun, how are you
Miranda
Not so great, I bombed my exam again
Victor
My poor baby, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?
Miranda
It's not like it's your fault, so it's okay
Victor
Still, I want to make you happier
Miranda
Then why don't you take me out on a date
Miranda
Ummmmmmmm......... maybe this coming Monday?
Victor
Monday isn't a good day, why don't I let you know when my schedule is free
Miranda
(dissappointed) okay, thanks
Victor
Sure....... I'll check up on you later, for now you need to rest your head babe
Miranda
I guess I am exhausted, so we'll talk later I guess
Victor's mom enters the living room
Victor's mom
I just overheard your conversation with Miranda
Victor
Is there a problem mom?
Victor's mom
Didn't I tell you she's bad news, how can she fail her exam for the second time!!!
Victor's mom
She's not worthy to marry into our family
Victor
Mom please, I know you don't like her but she's still an asset
Victor's dad
(Sudden entry) She is not, her parents are just some landless farmers in the country, they can't even afford an apartment in the city
Victor's mom
Look Victor, I know you're a man now and you're at a stage of having fun but have fun with real city girls at least, not some farmer's daughter
Victor
Don't worry mom, she just has the looks going for her, I never intended to marry or get serious with her, I'll leave her soon anyway, I'm tired of her
Victor's mom
Of course I heard Vanessa is back.......... why don't you meet her and take her out sometime
Victor's dad
Now she is worthy of being our daughter, I'll set up a meeting for you
Victor
No need father, I'm her escort to an exclusive event strictly by invitation, I can use this opportunity to even gain connections
Victor's dad
I see, well with your potential, I might hand over the company to you sooner than I thought
