It Takes a Man and a Woman Page #4

How about Sir Miggy?

Sir, if you want us to get MET,

is it a Yes or a No?

For MET, I say YES.

You 're outnumbered!

As managing editor, I say

let's start this shoot immediately!

Zoyla and friends win again!

Good day.

Miggv!

I missed you!

- Good day.

- You're still handsome!

Good morning.

Lio, help me.

Get that!

Sir, Zoyla helps Laida get dressed.

Today, we will shoot the before part...

Here she is!

Does she look okay?

- There you go!

- Old friend... Laida version 1.0.

This is the Laida we missed!

Welcome back, Laida!

Let's give her a group power hug!

Sir, coffee?

And you are?

Laida Magtal as, rem ember?

Wait. Wait. Just a moment.

Somethings missing.

I agree.

Is it the clothes?

- This was it.

- How about the hair?

No. This was her hair, too!

So what's missing?

It's her smile.

That Laida smile...

that reaches up to her eyes.

That's what's missing.

Is that it?

Zoyla and friends

can take care of that!

Th ere. Just stand on that spot.

Then look at your family.

They are your source of happiness!

Look at Daddy.

Or look at Mommy instead.

There! Look at Mommy!

Is that a smile I see'?

- How about a sundance? Come on!

- Come on, Laida!

She's gonna smile!

Just a little smile?

The sun is setting.

I have an idea! Sir Miggy!

Come on! Come here.

Do this for MET Sir.

Come on Sir.

Go on Sir. He's gonna do the sundance!

Game.

Great!

Will this do?

I'm sorry guys.

Blame it on global warming...

Sun dances won't work anymore.

Alright. Let's have a break first.

Laida must be tired.

Oh, pizza!

I'll eat them all!

Let me have some please.

Dig in!

Well, aren't you the lucky girl?

There. The only thing

that can melt a stoned heart...

is the power of love.

Hi guys!

L gotta go-

Guys, I'll go ahead.

You can finish this.

Bye. I'll go ahead.

Bye, Laida.

- You want coffee, my dear?

- No mom. I'm good.

Lio. Lio.

- One... two...

- Enough of that Lio.

- Come along.

- Let's go back in. Good night.

Laida.

You want to call it a day?

If you want, we could just...

scrap the whole idea.

No. I'm okay.

Laida, we will not stop until

we make you genuinely smile.

Laida! Sing!

Go on, that's your song!

- She doesn't like.

- Sing it for us Zoyla!

Why do my knees get weak

Every time I see you ?

I can only hope to meet you

Every time I bump into you

You even helped me gather my books

But you stiff didn't give me your name

Day by day, I follow you

Bu! you don'! even look back

What am Ho do?

Why are you avoiding me'?

Do my legs tum you off'?

I just want you to notice me

You have a special place...

...in my heart

Can I introduce myself to you?

That's enough.

Let's wrap this up.

I'm sure we managed

to get a few shots earlier.

There's still so much

work to be done, man.

Wh ere's Zoyla?

She's talking to one of our suppliers.

And Laida?

She hasn't arrived yet.

How was your edit, by the way?

We have so much to work on Sir.

We might get some good shots

from New York.

Alright.

Let's just give it our best effort.

I have confirmed the meeting with MET.

We'll proceed as scheduled.

I'll turn over all the contacts to Zoyla

so you won't have to worry about anything.

Laida.

Laida, what's this...

You have a commitment to this company.

You can't quit

in the middle of negotiations.

Laida!

You can't walk away like this.

You can't just leave us

because you want to.

Laida, you can't do this.

I can, Miggy. I can.

And I say, I quit.

Why?

It's in my contract.

I can terminate the agreement anytime.

No, Laida. Why?

Why?

Why?

Tell me.

Hey...

Why, Laida?

I can't take it anymore!

What?

Being around you.

I thought I was okay.

But I was wrong.

It's still painful.

The pain is still here.

It's still about that?

It's still about the past?

Yes.

That was two years ago, Laida.

And it was you

who never gave me a chance.

It was you who gave up so easily.

You threw away everything we had...

because of a single mistake I made.

Me?

Was I the one who threw it away?

Wasn't I that sixteen -year old girl

who was already in love with you?

Wasn't I the one who courted you?

Wasn't I the stupid girl

who put up with everything...

your pride, your ego...

and all your issues!

And because I failed to do one thing...

To come to you when you needed me...

beoau se I was in a different country.

I had a job. I had a boss to answer to.

I had my mother who also needed me

but I still chose you.

I was just late, Miggy. And yet,

you threw away everything we had.

That's why I said I'm sorry.

Couness mes.

Your apologies will never be enough.

What else should I do?

I don't know.

Won't you ever forgive me?

I don't know how.

Okay.

Were you not hurt?

You know I did. You were the one

who took care of me then.

So you just chose to accept the pain ?

You have to understand that

nobody is perfect.

Sometimes, we do things

that can hurt other people.

Mom...

how does a person forgive?

Are you ready for that?

Because Laida,

forgiveness is a decision.

When your father and I

got back together...

I kept a message on my cell phone...

"Choose to forgive. Choose to love."

That became my mantra everyday.

Becau se despite everyth in g

I've been through, it was never easy.

Mom, how did you get through it?

Through my love for him.

They saw--...

love is a choice.

It's the same with forgiveness.

It's also a choice you make, Laida...

every single day.

- Give me that!

- This is mine! Give it to me!

Hey! You might disturb your sister!

Have some eggs.

I'll just have coffee, Dad.

Sister, have you seen this?

Art?

What was this article I read?

So you know.

How embarrassing.

Since when?

A year ago?

Almost two.

Actually... actually, I don't know.

I lost track.

How did this happen Miggy?

It was my fault.

I screwed u p.

I became arrogant.

I had everything then.

I had you. I had Dad.

I had the world.

And I believed in myself too much.

Too much that I went head to head

against Anton Ortega.

And maybe that caused us the Airline.

We lost the airline, Laida.

And everyone never forgot about that.

It all went downhill from there.

I did nothing right.

Then... then I lost Dad.

And made another mistake.

And then I lost you.

Everything seemed to fall apart.

And then I made another mistake.

And another. And another. And another.

People thought that I stopped caring.

So I told myself to let things be.

Anyway, that's what I'm good at.

Being a failure.

I'm Miggy. I was really born to fail.

I messed up.

I messed up big time.

So if I can't take away your anger...

and if you can't forgive me,

I'll understand.

Because I know I deserve it.

If they no longer trust me

and they think I'm worthless...

then it's my fault.

It's not my family's fault.

That's why...

That's why I'm begging you.

I need your help.

Not for myself.

But for my family.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for failing you.

I'm sorry for hurting you.

Laida, someone's looking for you.

Ma'am, Sir Miggy sent this to you.
