Four sisters in a wedding

Mother: Teodora, is there something I need to know? – what?

Bobbie: just tell them, teddie – its about time
Mother: you know what they’re talking about?
Shaina: we’ve known since last year, mom
Teddie : you already know about it?
Shaina: remember when ate bobbie had plants to go to madrid for her birthday?
Bobbie: then you told me not to go anymore, because you had to attend a teachers conference in paris, but I still
pushed through with the trip, I saw you in bar, but I didn’t approach you because as your sister, I know you’ll be
embarrassed, and I don’t want you to be embarrassed especially if you’re not ready to tell us the truth just yet
Alex: what truth? – why didn’t I know about this?
Shaina: stay out of this ate
Alex: why? – teddie is also my sister and I deserve to know why you’re pressuring her
Bobbie : we’re not pressuring her
Mother : so whats the truth?
Bobbie: just tell them ate
mother: ROBERTA!!!!
Bobbie: it shouldn’t come from me, ma
Mother: please, Roberta!!!
Bobbie: its best to hear it straight from teddie – we are your family, ate – if there’s anyone who should know who you
really are, its us. – will you just lie to us for the rest of your life?
Teddie: do you think its that easy bobbie??
Bobbie: that’s why you should tell us already!
Teddie: fine! I’ll tell the truth!
- Mom, mom im sorry, im sorry mom, when the crisis hit spain, I was one of the teachers who got laid off
because they said im not good enough, I also lied about my masters degree cuz I wasn’t granted with a
scholarship, ever since I got laid off from the school, I started working two jobs so I could send you some
money, im a waitress at the bar where bobbie saw me and im also a housemaid that’s where I met Frodo
the truth is, I just borrowed some money from him so I could fly back home – im sorry mom, sorry – im
sorry ( lumuhod )
Mother: did you honestly think that I wouldn’t understand you?
Teddie; its not like that mom,I know that whatever happens to me, you’ll still love and accept me, I just cant stop
blaming myself for happened- I cannot fully accecpt that ivee become a failure, I cant accept that I wasn’t able to
achieve all the things you dreamed for me, I cant accept that im a loser compared to all of them- I cant accept that no
matter how hard I work, I wouldn’t be as good as bobbie
Bobbie; me??
Teddie: yess, bobbie, you- out of all of us, your werw always the best- no matter how much I try to do better, I
couldn’t get on your level – you’re always the best in everything, right – youre the prettiest, youre the smartest youre
everything im not, youre my sister bobbie and I love you but.. I cant help but be jealous of you, ive been jealous of
you since we were kids
Bobbie: why are you so angry??? I don’t understand,,,, is it my fault?. Honestly im the one who’s jealous of all of you
because you all have something I wish I was had, how I wish I have gabbies maternal instinct, I wish I had your charm
and innocence, cj . , how I wish I had ben adventurous like alex and I wish I had your sense of humor, teddie, because
it makes me laugh so hard, even mom adores your humor as much as I do, that’s probably why all her attentions on
you
Mother: are you saying that I’m unfair???
Bobbie: no, mom im saying you have you favorites
Mother: that’s not true
Bobbie: mom, remember when I was in grade schooler? I graduated valedictorian and I brought home a lot of medals
while teddie only had one. But she’s still the one you noticed and complimented and remember that one time, when I
got home really hungry and you got angry because I ate the food that you saved for teddie? And also that one time
when you went shopping in divisoria and bought us pants?? Then you told me not to get one because teddie hadn’t
picked hers yet you told me that shes the eldest that’s why she gets the first pick
Mother: im sorry, I didn’t know you felt that way
Bobbie: ma, its okay, I understand ive learned to accept it ive learned to accept your love for teddie and cj, ive long
accepted that they are your favorite, also know that dads favorite were alex and gabbie and that’s okay ! whats
important is, you took care of me, you gave me food to eat, you sent me to school, you gave me clothes and you loved
me and that’s good enough for me because growing up, alex was always there, I was her favorite but that was back
then because ever since I got back from the us all I heard you was how arrogant and ill-mannered I am, im sorry if my
personality comes off as too aggressive, im really sorry if my tough exterior is to hard for you to hande, im sorry
Cj: ate, that’s not true
Bobbie: no cj, its okay, maybe im really that one to blame because I chose to be like this-I had to be like this,
especially when I chose to work abroad, I think youre right alex maybe im too ambitious maybe all I care about is my
career but you know what alex? I didn’t do it for my self I had to go there for us, for our families future, because of
our debts were piling up for dad hospital bills mom also got hospitalized and someone had to pay for cjs college
tuition I had no choice because gabbies salary cant sustain all of us and teddie needs money so she can go to spain, lex
didn’t have a permannt job that time and I didn’t want her to stop pursuing film because you told me itswhat makes
your heart happy its what your good at and its what will make mom proud, but as much as I wanted to go home, I
wasn’t used to life there and it was so lonely because I miss all of you, but I didn’t because I had to be strong I didn’t
give up because I needed to, but just because I look tough doesn’t mean I don’t get hurt, it doesn’t mean that I don’t
feel pain, I get hurt just like everyone else
Mother: im sorry, bobbie. I didn’t know you felt that way
Bobbie: im sorry if I sounded to harsh mom, im sorry
Mother: I thought I was being fair because in my heart I loved you all the same way, the reason why my attention
always focused on teddie and cj is because among all of you, theyre the weakest they were always frail and sickly so
they needed my extra attention, but you three you have always been independent and strongand brave
- My dear daughter im sorry, im really sorry
Bobbie: its okay mom
Mother: I want you to know that im so grateful for everything you’ve done for us
Bobbie: thankyou ma!!
Mother: thankyou to teddie, im really grateful for you I know how much you’ve sacrificed fot us and iwant you to
know that, I will love you for who you really are always remember that

(hugs )
