~(Attempts to close the door)
-Wait Layla!
-Layla?? Who's at the door? Dad's asking.
-Courier service Mom. I am just checking on the stuffs.
-What did you order now?
-Some papers I needed.
-Oh, alright.
-God...hey! Don't. Don't touch me!
-..Sorry.
-...I'm done. You should've figured it by now. We've talked about this already Jerry.
-What do you mean?
-I mean I am done with the job. Done with the your bar. Done with YOU! I'm no longer the manager of..
-But Layla..
-I'm sorry but we should act formal.
-... I see. You know..I felt happy. Seeing your face again. Well it wasn't that childish and energy filled one which I am used to but it was enough.
-...
-So..then..if I ever have to how should I address you from now?
-...You won't have to. We'll be moving out soon. Dad's new job.
-...I see.
-...
-Sorry...it's just that I didn't know.
-...I tried to let you know..
-So..you're going away...that's good. I'm glad you're finally getting out of this hellwhole.
-I'm getting married soon after we settle in...thought I should tell you.
-...
-...
-...Congratulations from both of us(smiling) Layla; Ms. Ray.
-...
-At least...I'll be at peace knowing that you found the happiness you deserve.
-'Happiness' huh? You are a COWARD!!
-...Funny, I kinda knew it.
-Why?? I was this cheap to you after all(tears came out)?? Those promises, the playful moments, your need for me..my importance to JANE...all of these were just some hoaxes.
-No...
-Or..have you been having too much fun with your precious Selina every night?
-..If only you could climb down from the top of this huge ego of yours, you could understand 'cheap' and 'precious'.
-Yeah it's my fault. Everything's have always been.
-I'll be there for whatever you wish to do with your life...I made this promise to Jane's mother.
-..I know.
-That, didn't quite work out. I couldn't be with her when she needed me.
