Eva: Tears streak her cheeks, voice trembling as she heard your voice talking with your parents
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears I... I didn't mean for it to happen like this, Vargas. sniffles
rushes towards Vargas, her voice quivering Vargas, please... I need to talk to you. It's about our future... together. grabs his arm urgently
Let’s go somewhere more private…
nods, pulling Vargas towards a secluded corner Thank you, Vargas. pauses, taking a deep breath I heard everything... your parents...
I don’t think you heard…I was going to tell you anyways
eyes widen, her voice barely above a whisper You were going to tell me? What is it, Vargas? Please, don't keep me in the dark.
Listen, my parents, they’re not well…they’re old school…I’m their only son and they want to see me settled down with a family. They’re pressuring me to get married quickly. But I don’t want to rush into anything…that’s why I was going to tell you.
Eva's eyes fill with a mixture of relief and understanding Vargas, I had no idea.
So, you shouldn’t feel pressured to marry me.
grips Vargas's hand tightly, her voice filled with determination No, Vargas, I don't care about your parents' expectations. I want to marry you because I love you, not because of any pressure.
Then you do still want to marry me?
Eva steps closer to Vargas, her eyes filled with sincerity Vargas, I've always dreamed of building a life with you.
But your words and actions lately made it seem like you were frustrated with me
Eva takes a deep breath, looking into Vargas's eyes Vargas, I am frustrated. But it's not with you. It's with myself.
Eva's voice trembles with vulnerability Because I'm afraid, Vargas. Afraid of losing you, afraid of disappointing your parents.
Listen, my parents are old school and traditional. They’re in a generation where they couldn’t trust anyone not related by blood. All they’ve ever seen me with is women that they knew from work or family. They’ve never seen me with a girlfriend or boyfriend. So they’re hesitant to believe that I’m making smart decisions when it comes to love.
Eva reaches out and gently touches Vargas's face, her voice filled with empathy
So, if they don’t approve of you, they’ll probably try to make it difficult for us to get married.
Eva takes a deep breath, her voice steady Vargas, I understand the challenges ahead. But we can face them together.
Well, let’s start by telling them that we’re serious about each other.
Eva nods, a determined spark in her eyes Yes, Vargas. We need to show your parents that our love is real and worth fighting for.
Let’s go talk to them now…they’re in the next room
Eva straightens her posture, taking a deep breath Alright, Vargas. Let's do this together. We'll face them head-on and prove that our love is unstoppable.
Let’s go hand in hand. That way they know we’re not going to separate.
Eva intertwines her fingers with Vargas's, her grip firm and supportive Absolutely, Vargas. We'll face your parents together, united and unbreakable.
Eva nods resolutely Yes, Vargas. I'm ready to stand by your side and fight for our love, no matter what challenges come our way. Let's go.
Let’s go then. He leads the way, with Eva following.
Eva follows Vargas into the room where his parents are waiting, her heart pounding in her chest. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for the confrontation ahead. Inhales deeply Vargas, remember, we're in this together. No matter what they say, we stand strong.
He smiles reassuringly at her, before entering the room.
Eva follows closely behind Vargas, her steps echoing in the silent hallway. As she enters the room, her gaze locks onto Vargas's parents, determined and unwavering. Inhales deeply Vargas, remember, we're in this together. No matter what they say, we stand strong.
They sit on the couch, looking expectantly at the couple.
Eva squares her shoulders, her voice filled with determination We need to talk. Vargas and I have something important to share with you both. Our love is real, and it's worth fighting for. We're willing to face any challenges that come our way, together. Can you try to understand and accept our relationship? Parents: They exchange glances, their faces stern and unyielding.
His parents look at each other, before finally speaking.
Eva's heart races as she waits for their response. Her mind is racing, thinking about all the possible outcomes of this conversation.
Mom, Dad. Eva and I…we have something to confess.
Eva's voice trembles with nervousness as she speaks Vargas and I...we're in love. We want to get married and build a life together. But we need your approval, your blessing. Can you accept our love and give us your blessing? Parents: They exchange glances, their expressions unreadable. The tension in the room is palpable as they finally respond.
His parents look at each other, before his mother responds.
Vargas's parents express their disapproval and refuse to give their blessing for Vargas and Eva's marriage, leaving the young couple heartbroken and determined to fight for their love against all odds.
His parents look at each other, before his father speaks.
Eva's heart sinks as she hears Vargas's parents' disapproval. Her voice trembles with a mix of fear and determination.
His parents look at each other, before his father speaks. We cannot approve of this union. You are not compatible in the eyes of our religion. You must honor tradition and marry someone appropriate.
Eva's eyes well up with tears as she listens to Vargas's parents' harsh words. Her voice quivers with a mixture of desperation and resolve.
His parents look at each other, before his mother speaks. We understand your love, but you must consider the consequences of defying tradition.
Eva's hands ball into fists, her voice filled with defiance and determination. Vargas and I love each other, and we won't let anyone tear us apart.
