INT. ARIA'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
(Aria is sitting on the couch, deep in thought. Caleb enters the room, noticing her distant expression.)
CALEB
(sitting next to Aria)
“Aria, what's going on? You seem lost in your own world.”
ARIA
(sighs)
“Caleb, I've been thinking a lot lately. There are things I've been keeping from you, and it's tearing me apart.”
CALEB
(worried)
“Aria, whatever it is, you can tell me. We've always been honest with each other.”
ARIA
(looks down, hesitates)
“It's just...these secrets, they're big. They could change everything between us.”
CALEB
(gently)
“Aria, our love is built on trust. We can face anything together. Please, tell me what's been weighing on your mind.”
ARIA
(teary-eyed)
“Okay, Caleb. But promise me you'll listen without judgment.”
CALEB
(nods)
“I promise, Aria. You have my full attention.”

INT. ARIA'S APARTMENT - KITCHEN - LATER
(Aria and Caleb are sitting at the kitchen table, holding hands.)
ARIA
(voice trembling)
“Caleb, what if I've been hiding a part of my past from you. I was involved in something...dangerous. Which haunted me for years?..Are you still love me?”
CALEB
(concerned)
“Aria, I'm here for you, no matter what. Please, tell me more.”
ARIA
(takes a deep breath)
“I've been living in fear, afraid of the consequences. I am just an adopted daughter of my parents Caleb, something terrible happened to me and to my true family. When I was young, there are people who run after us. They killed my parents”..(she stuttered)
..”and, I..I..was thrown into the sea. Mom Sarah and dad Carlo just found me at the seashore 15 years ago.” her tears are now flowing freely..”
Aria is emotional when she remember her true parents, in her young mind until now, the worst things happened in her life is still fresh. She is princess Gracela, the only heir of Kingdom Bringholm, their realms under his father’s rulings King Greg Mathew, was excellently organized and peaceful until betrayer betrayed her father. The King’s far relatives wanted to kill her when they found out of her superpower. Yes, she had superpowers. She was five years old when her mother, Queen Mia, explained her about their superpowers and the pendant is her evidence. She was young when it happened. She is not yet fully oriented on how to use her powers wisely that was why she was not able to save her parents. She don’t know what happened after. She lost her memories for so long. Just last few months ago when it was back when she found her pendant at the seashore. But, she doubt to tell the whole story of her life to Caleb, there’s something she wants to prove first before trusting him fully. She wiped her tears and look at Caleb.
CALEB
(stunned)
“Aria, I can't believe you've been carrying this burden alone. But I want you to know, your past doesn't define you. We can face this together.”
ARIA
(teary-eyed)
“But Caleb, what if my past puts you in danger? What if it's too much for you to handle?”
CALEB
(takes Aria's hands in his)
“Aria, our love is strong. I won't let anything or anyone come between us. We'll take the necessary steps to ensure our safety, but I refuse to let your past drive us apart.”
ARIA
(whispering)
“I love you, Caleb.”
CALEB
(sincerely)
“I love you too, Aria. We'll navigate this journey together, one step at a time.”
