FADE IN: INT. SABRINA'S ROOM - DAY (2014) SABRINA/ANNA-LOUISE ATIENZA (31), her hair is short and the length is down to her jaw. This day will show the height of her hypocrisy. She will act ready to face the truth, happy to see somebody happy but deep inside her heart is aching. The window shows the bright morning sun. Sabrina looks in the mirror with her tidied hair; her cocktail dress is hanging in the background. SABRINA (V.O.) Katapusan. Kung mayroon mang tamang oras, tamang araw, tamang panahon upang lahat ay maglaho, mawala, at makalimutan: ito 'yon. CLOSE ON an evelope showing Sabrina's real name 'Anna-Louise Atienza.' Sabrina touches the evenlope as if feeling its content. She looks up towards her the light illuminating from her window. SABRINA (V.O.) (CONT'D) Dapat maging masaya ako. Dapat. Kahit ang araw (SUN) nagsasabing: ito na ang kalayaang hinahanap ko. Sabrina picks up her facial foundation and slowly puts make up on her face. SABRINA (V.O.) (CONT'D) Hindi ko alam kung paano humantong sa ganito. Hindi ko alam kung handa na ako. Hindi ko alam. Sabrina analyzes the contours of her face. SABRINA Practice your smile! Sabrina practices her smile in front of her mirror. Once she has achieved her ideal facial reaction, she removes it quickly and continues to put make up on. SABRINA (V.O.) Sana hindi niya mapansin. Sabrina chokes a laughs for a short bit.

2. SABRINA Bakit masakit? Sabrina's cellhphone RINGS. Sabrina looks at her cellphone and checks who the caller is. She ignores the call. SABRINA (CONT'D) Hindi pa ako tapos dito. Usapan natin 11:00 (AM); wala pa eh! Sabrina polishes her look. CLOSE ON the wall clock that reads '10:30.' SABRINA (CONT'D) Sabrina. Sabrina. Sabrina. She drums her chest with her fist. SABRINA (CONT'D) Konting lakas ng loob. Konti lang. She fans her eyes; trying to stop the tears from falling. FLASHBACK TO 2007: INT. KICHENETTE - DAY (2007)(CONTINUOUS) SABRINA/ANNA-LOUISE ATIENZA (25), She has the symptoms of a person with asperger's syndrome. She has very few friends and is very quiet.

He is always going to be seen having food around. He has many lady-friends. Sabrina exits from the CR. There kitchenette looks busy; a number of people are waiting to use the microwave. Jayvee is standing a few steps away from the refrigerator. He sees Sabrina come forward to the sink and squeezes the dishwashing soap onto her hand. He hears Sabrina talk to herself. SABRINA (low voice) Bakit ang daming tao dito, hindi naman lunch?

Pwede mo bang i-email sa'kin? JAYVEE Wala sa computer ko dito, nasa bahay. Mamaya nang hapon pag uwi ko, okay? CLAIRE (V.O.) Okay. Bee, sunduin mo naman ako mamaya. Mag-mall tayo mamaya Kailangan kong bumili ng bathing suit pa.

4. JAYVEE Sige na Claire, baka makita pa ako ng boss ko ditong nagtatagal sa telepono. Jayvee eyes Sabrina's cubicle. JAYVEE (V.O.) Ano bang pangalan kasi ng babaeng 'yon! MARK ANTHONY, he is the boss of Jayvee. With just the looks, he can be mistaken as a regular employee. But his wits and knowledge supercedes his style. Mark Anthony walks towards Jayvee.

6. SABRINA (seeking attention) Ma, ma! GEL Ano 'yon? SABRINA Sigurado bang makakauwi tayo ng Monday? GEL Sigurado. Alam mo naman kung anong gagawin natin doon, diba? SABRINA Sinisigurado lang. Sa Monday kasi kasama ako sa training. Sabrina checks luggages sitting at her side. She puts down her purse beside her and digs into the contents of it.

Matatapos na ako. Diane has had all the desk items on her desk put away in a box. She quickly runs over to the office chair on the other cubicle. She pulls it towards her desk and drops her heavy box onto the seat. GRACE Mabigat ba 'yan. DIANE Hindi naman, para masmadali lang hindi na ako magbubuhat papuntang second floor. Sabrina relays the message of the person on the phone. SABRINA Diane! Sabi nung magse-setup nung computer babalik na lang daw siya after 1 hour. DIANE Bakit daw? Nagmadali pa naman ako.

She draws it near herself to inspect its ripeness. She smells it and feels the texture and the hardness of the fruit. The paging system declares an announcement. She bags five apples and puts it in the cart. Her cellphone BEEPS.

57. She pulls her cellphone out from her purse that was resting on the cart. She looks intently at the Facebook notification: A new photo is added by Jayvee Zulueta. Sabrina contemplates whether to open it or not. She scratches her head, looks around, bites her lip, and makes several reaction showing how much she is holding back her curiosity. She finally decides to check the Facebook. A number of photos were posted by Jayvee. The pictures are of him and his fiance. From the picture, it can be confirmed that Jayvee proposed on Christmas of 2011. Sabrina checks all of the photos with a blank reaction. She pauses on the pictures where Jayvee and Claire show their biggest smiles. The shoppers around her keep on excusing themselves just to reach the apples. INT. SABRINA'S CUBICLE - DAY (2012) Sabrina pulls a white envelope from her drawer - the envelope is not empty. She puts it on top of her keyboard and stares at it. CLOSE ON the wall clock. The time reads '7:30' in the morning. Sabrina covers her mouth as she yawns. Tears look like its forming in her eyes, but it doesn't roll down on to her cheeks. Her face says that coming to the decision of resigning has been difficult. She picks up the envelope containing her letter and rereads its contents in her mind. SABRINA (V.O.) 'Tomorrow is another day' sabi nga ni Scarlet O'Hara. Akala ko madali lang ito, bakit ngayon parang napakahirap. She places the sheet of paper onto her table. CLOSE ON the 'TWO-WEEK NOTICE.' The clock radio on the table alarms on the FM Radio music. Sabrina hits a button on the clock radio to stop the music. She then refolds the paper and inserts it in the envelope. As abruptly as did that, she stands up and walks over to her boss' office bringing along with her the letter.

58. INT. RESORT VERANDA - NIGHT (2012) It is full moon; and the round moon reflects on the empty swimming pool. Sabrina leans on the railing of her veranda watching the moon and enjoying the quiet night. She starts to smell something, she sniffs. She looks down and sees a number of men quietly congregated in the unit below hers - they are smoking. She decides to ignore the smell that detests her. Her cellphone BUZZES. ON THE CELLPHONE: 'Nd man lng kta nkausap bago ka umalis' - Jayvee Sabrina types. SABRINA (V.O.) Alam ko naman na busy ka kasi ka propromote lang sa'yo, kaya hindi na rin ako nakapag-message sa'yo. SUPERIMPOSE: 'Nasaan ka ngayon?' Sabrina types again. SABRINA (V.O.) (CONT'D) Nagbabakasyon. Medyo magtatagal ako dito sa Tagaytay. The whole night Jayvee and Sabrina exchange messages. START INTERCUT: 1) INT. JAYVEE'S ROOM 2) EXT. RESORT VERANDA The intercut will show the happy reactions of Jayvee and Sabrina as they exchange messages. They are so engrossed in their text conversation that they seem to be the only people in the world. END INTERCUT. IMPORTANT NOTE: - They are very courageous when they only type their hearts content.

59. FLASHBACK TO 2013: EXT. SABRINA'S ROOM - DAY (2013) The window shows that it is raining. Sabrina pulls her cover up to her neck; she seems to be enjoying the cold that the rain brought in. An envelope on top of her cabinet catches her eye. She stares at it for a while with curiosity in her eyes. Her curiosity got the best of her; she gave in to it by rushing over the cabinet and reading the sender's name on the corner of the envelope. She stops. Her warm expression from earlier slowly fades away. She tosses the envelope onto the middle of the bed. She continues to look at it seemingly unready to uncover the content; even though, she already has an idea what it contains. She crawls into her bed and reaches for the envelope. She closes her eyes and feels the corner of the envelope - she opens it. Hesitantly, she opens her eyes to a WEDDING INVITATION. Jayvee and Claire's wedding particulars are the contents of the card. Sabrina slumps her back on the bed. She fixes her gaze to the ceiling. She smiles as if a knot has been untied yet she looks unhappy. SABRINA Mangyayari na rin. Her happy faux face doesn't disappear; it's hypocritical. Gradually, a tear drops on the side of her face. SABRINA (CONT'D) Akala ko magiging maganda ang araw ko. She continues to smile; more tears flow out from her eyes. INT. BEAUTY PARLOR - DAY (2013) Vince and Sabrina has magazines covering their face. They pull this down revealing that they are getting a hair cut.

60. VINCE Bakit mo naisipang magpagupit ngayon? Matagal mo rin pinahaba ang buhok mo; tapos ipapagupit mo? SABRINA Hindi ko na feel ang short hair. Two years nang ganito ang buhok ko, it's time for a change. VINCE Baka magsisi ka. Sobrang ikli ang sinabi mo dun sa manggu-gupit. SABRINA Gusto ko talagang maiba naman; ayoko naman na taon-taon ganito na lang ang buhok ko. Tingnan mo nga yung mga picture mo: simula 2005 hanggan 2012 pareho ang buhok mo. Hindi mo alam kung anong taon kinuha yung picture. VINCE Ang mga iniisip mo! Ang gupit-gupit! Lalaki naman ako. Tingnan mo nga si bembol roco; simula bata ako kalbo na yun. SABRINA May intensyon ka pang gayahin 'yon? VINCE Hindi naman intensyon; example lang. SABRINA Basta, gusto kong maiba this year. VINCE Anong gusto mong kainin mamaya? SABRINA Bakit, manlilibre ka? VINCE Tinatanong ko lang kung gusto mong kumain, parati na lang kitang inililibre.

61. SABRINA Binibiro lang kita. Ililibre kita ngayon. Saan mo gustong kumain? Chinese, Indian, o Korean? VINCE Intsik na lang, saan ba may masarap? SABRINA Gusto mo mag buffet? VINCE Hindi, diet ako ngayon. SABRINA Mag buffet na lang tayo, ililibre naman kita. Kumain ka na lang ng konti doon - Tuesday naman ngayon 30% off. VINCE Sige! The conversation between the two ends. Sabrina faces the magazine that is resting on her lap. Her light and warm demeanor slowly disappears and is slowly replaced by sadness. She tries to hide this feeling but it seems to seep through.
