1 INT. DESIGNER/TAILOR'S HOUSE - MORNING 1

The house is filled with scraps of cloth on the floor.

BENG, a babyfaced young professional aged 25 years old,

picks up her wedding gown box.

TAILOR's old shaky hands gives the dress to her.

Beng leaves after picking it up from the tailor.

2 INT. BENG'S HOUSE - DAY 2

The house is an old horror house in classic horror

movies.

Beng places the box on the coffee table and sits down on
the mini sofa chair.

She opens the box and slowly strokes the dress, feeling
the softness with the hint of desire to wear it.

Beng cannot resist the temptation to wear the dress and

puts it in front of her body while facing the mirror.

BENG'S MOM, a conservative Quiapo church devotee, goes

out of her room to see her daughter in front of the
mirror, trying to fit the dress.

BENG'S MOM
Anak!

She immediately grabs the dress away from Beng's hand.

BENG'S MOM
(cont'd)
Wag mo muna isuot yan! Naku!

Beng grabs the dress back from her mom, annoyingly.

BENG
Bakit naman ma?

She looks back in the mirror, putting the dress in front

of her, trying to fit it.
 2.

BENG'S MOM
Hindi mo ba alam na bawal
isuot ang trahe de boda bago
ang kasal?

Beng looks back at her curiously.

BENG
Bakit nga!

BENG'S MOM
Kasi hindi matutuloy ang
kasal!

Beng rolls her eyes and looks back in the mirror

BENG
Yan nanaman tayo sa mga
pamahiin mo ma, eh!

BENG'S MOM
Bahala kang bata ka!
Pinagsabihan na kita!

Beng's mom walks out, leaving her alone in the sala.

3 INT. BENG'S HOUSE - DAY 3

The next day, Beng invites ARNEL over to her house so

that he can see the dress.

Arnel, an introverted man with a strong demeanor, is

waiting for her in the sala, looking out of the window.

Beng goes out of her room, wearing the dress.

She calls out Arnel to show off her dress.

To her gruesome dismay, Arnel looks back at her with no

eyes.

FADE TO:

INT. BENG'S ROOM - NIGHT

Her room is as small as a room in a condominium.

Beng screams and wakes up from her nightmare.

4 INT. BENG'S HOUSE - DAY 4

Beng finally shows Arnel the dress, as she wears it and

twirls it around.

BENG
Bagay ba?

ARNEL
Oo naman.

Arnel hugs her tightly and smiles.

5 INT. BENG'S HOUSE - EVENING 5

Beng is looking at the mirror while planning to remove

her dress already.

While looking at the mirror, she sees a faint image of a

ghost girl behind her who is wearing a bloody wedding
dress.

Beng looks behind her, but there is no one.

Beng looks back in the mirror the ghost girl is closer,

beside her face.

She screams in horror

FADE OUT.

INT. BENG'S ROOM - NIGHT

She wakes up again in another nightmare.

6 INT. BENG'S ROOM - NIGHT 6

Beng is preparing to sleep, brushes her hair and later on

lie on the bed to sleep.

Beng starts having nightmares, she moves uneasily in her

sleep.

Beng wakes up, and in horror she was wearing the wedding
gown.
 4.

Out of fear, she removes the gown and runs out of the
room.

FADE IN:

EXT. ARNEL'S HOUSE - NIGHT

The house is designed modernly, with a huge door, a lot

of glass windows and doors, painted in white.

Beng knocks on Arnel's house.

Arnel opens the gate as Beng welcomes him with an

embrace.

7 INT. ARNEL'S ROOM - MORNING 7

Arnel's room looks like a Deluxe room in a five star

hotel.

Beng wakes up in Arnel's room, from a comfortable sleep.

She goes downstairs to check Arnel as he is gone beside

Beng.

Arnel is making breakfast.

Beng goes to sit on the living room, waiting for the

breakfast.

She suddenly sees a music box and couple of other

accessories on the table.

Beng touches the music box and opens it.

ARNEL
Sa mama ko yan. Mga naiwan
niya bago siya namatay.

Arnel puts the breakfast on the dining table then goes to

sit beside her.

ARNEL
(cont'd)
Sabi ni lola, isinuot niya
daw kasi yung wedding gown
niya.
 5.

Beng shivers in fear and hugs Arnel.

He hugs her back tightly, comforting her.

8 INT. ARNEL'S ROOM - NIGHT 8

They are both sleeping in the room, when suddenly the

music box plays.

Arnel reaches out to the music box beside his table to

close it when Beng suddenly pokes him and points at the
ghost girl by the door.

He scratches his eye and the girl is gone.

When he looks beside him, Beng is now the ghost girl.

Arnel wakes up from a nightmare.

9 INT. ARNEL'S HOUSE - MORNING 9

Arnel is putting all the things her mother owns in a box,

with Beng.

They both put it inside a cabinet.

Arnel hugs Beng for comfort.

10 INT. ARNEL'S ROOM - NIGHT 10

Beng wakes up in the middle of the night, uncomfortable

with her sleep.

She looks beside her and Arnel is gone.

She stands up, grabs her slippers to look for Arnel.

FADE IN:

INT/EXT. ARNEL'S HOUSE - NIGHT

She goes to the living room, only to see the things of

Arnel's mom out on top of the table, together with the
wedding gown.
 6.

Beng runs going outside of the house in fear also in

desperation to find Arnel.

11 INT/EXT. CHURCH - NIGHT 11

The church is silent, and medieval looking, as if it was

built back in the Spanish Era.

Beng is walking outside, looking for Arnel when suddenly

the church bells ring as if someone is getting married.

She hurriedly goes inside, looking for Arnel.

At the end of the isle, she sees Arnel standing but

facing away from her.

Beng keeps on shouting and calling him but he is not

looking.

She goes closer and pulls Arnel to turn around, only to

see the horrific face of Arnel without eyes.

Beng pulls away in fear while slowly walking backwards.

Arnel points behind her stiffly.

Beng looks back only to see the ghost girl standing

outside of the church door.

Again, in fear Beng starts walking slowly away from the

girl as it walks towards her.

She panics and turns around to run, only to see the ghost
girl near her.

The ghost girl is her, ressembling the future she will

face.

12 INT. CHURCH - MORNING 12

The POLICEMEN are surrounding the church to investigate

upon the case.

The body of Arnel is in suit, and Beng is now how the

ghost girl looks like, in her bloody wedding gown.
 7.

They find this case to be a suicide one, as they call for

the FUNERAL to pick them up.

The funeral arrives, stripping the bodies off and

transporting them into body bags, wrapping them in
blankets.

A hand goes to pick up the discarded wedding clothes.

FADE IN:

INT. TAILOR'S SHOP - DAY

SOMEONE goes in to the shop, and looks interested at the

wedding gown of Beng, displayed.

The Tailor then gets the dress to assist the girl and
pursues her to buy it.
