ISA: STOP BOTH OF YOU!... I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE... I'LL LEAVE FIRST, I WILL MEET YOU GUYS LATER...

*SHE LEAVES*

MIA: I DON'T KNOW, WHY AND HOW SHE BECOMES LIKE THAT?. SHE ALWAYS SCARED PEOPLE WITH HER NAME, POWER, STATUS, AND POSITION. EVEN PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO FACES HER. BUT, IN FRONT OF MOM SHE DID NOT STAND FOR HERSELF...

PAA: BECAUSE FOR ISA EMILY IS HER BOTH MOTHER AND FATHER... BUT, FROM ISA'S CHILDHOOD EMILY ONLY SEE AS HER OBLIGATION, WHICH SHE GETS AT AN EARLY AGE WITH ROYAL RESPONSIBILITIES. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS PARALYSED FOR 2 YEARS, SHE BECOMES HARD LIKE STONE... AFTER GETTING ALL THESE OBLIGATIONS SHE FEELS LIKE ISA IS ALSO HER IRRESPONSIBILITY WHICH SHE GETS AFTER HER SISTER'S DEATH (ISA'S MOM)... THAT'S WHY SHE'S TRYING TO HER BEST TO THANKS EMILY'S BENEFICENCE... THAT'S WHY SHE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER...

*THERE'S ONLY SILENCE LEFT*

MIA (THINKING): I JUST WISH, BIG SIS WILL GET IN HER LIFE... WHO MADE HER LIKE; HOWS ARE LATE MRS. JENNY & MR. MEW ALDEN WERE (ISA'S PARENTS)... LIKE HER PARENTS; HER LOVE STORY ALSO REACHES THE EXTREME, WHERE SHE FORGETS ABOUT THE WORLD AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
