Love.

That was quick.

Of course.

You sold out already?

Of course, because it’s delicious.

Perfect timing. I’ve got more ready for you to sell.

How about...

a little reward first?

Later tonight... I still need to finish this.

Then let’s...

Wait.

I have to close the door.

Wait, not there. Ma'am Mindy’s arriving later.

Che, my love,

I love you so much.

I love you so much, too.

Just a bit more saving,

and I can buy you a real ring.

Didn’t I tell you, I’m happy with what we have.

Whatever.

You can’t stop me.

Babe?

Is it okay if I put our engagement ring away for now?

That’s fine, babe. It’s up to you.

Sorry... it’s just so flashy.

You know how it is where we’re staying,

the life here is very poor and sad.

We should be considerate, right?

We wouldn’t want them getting envious, since they can’t afford it.

And it might get stolen.

It’s scary.

But don't worry, I'll still bring it, I'll just hide it in my bag.

I don't get your idea, babe. Why do we even need to stay with Che?

Babe, it’s for immersion.

Part of the vow, remember? "For richer and for...?”

- ”Poorer.” - That’s right!

So we need to experience "for poorer" before the wedding.

So does that mean we also need to experience "till death do us part"?

Is that immersion too?

You're so funny, babe.

That’s what I love about you.

But babe, does it really have to be a whole week?

Please? Just one week.

Okay, okay. You’re like this because you know I’ll do anything for you.

Well... that’s why I love you so much.

Careful.

- Watch your step. - My gosh!

I need a break.

Are we getting close?

Just keep going. Where the hell are we?

I don’t know where we are, I’ve lost signal.

You’re the one who’s familiar here.

- My feet hurts. - Babe, where are we?

Hold up, I’ll get these... What?

Che!

My nanny for so many years!

My baby for so many years!

Hi, Sir Renald.

- Come on, let’s head inside. - Let’s go.

- How are you, Ma’am Mindy? - Great!

- I’ve missed you... - Your place is really far.

Ma'am, I told you, this house is really small.

No, don’t worry. This is fine.

This is perfect... for the experience, right babe?

You're sure? Sir? Ma’am?

Of course.

Anyway, the cooking area is right outside, and we eat right over here.

I stacked up the chairs to save more space.

Around the back is the bathroom.

- It’s also outside? - Yes, Ma’am.

I'm surprised Mindy convinced you, Che.

To be honest, sir,

I was really shy when Ma'am Mindy messaged me.

But you’ve helped us a lot, so this favor isn't a big deal.

No need to mention it, Che. You’re like family.

And don't worry, whatever you need,

we’re here to help.

Consider it payment for letting us stay here. Right, babe?

Mm-hmm.

- By the way, where’s Aldrus? - He should be home soon.

Let me show you your room first.

You’ll be staying here.

Sorry, Ma'am, it's a bit cramped but I’ve already cleaned these.

It's okay. And since we're all staying together here,

drop the "Ma'am" for now, okay?

M... Mindy.

Love?

- Love? - Here’s your... Love!

- Ma’am Mindy’s here. - Oh.

Ah... Aldrus... hello!

Ma'am, how are you?

So, when are you driving us again?

Sorry, Ma’am... I’m not used to it anymore.

I ride something else now.

Stop it.

What? We always ride tricycles here, right?

Ugh! Signal please!

There’s no signal here in the countryside.

Oh...

Is that why your replies are two days delayed?

Unlike before, in just two seconds you’re already there.

Sorry, Ma’am, if I decided to leave.

Aldrus and I just really like it here.

There’s plenty of things we can do here with just the two of us.

Like what?

You’ll know it when you get married.

Congrats, anyway.

Hey.

Why don’t you look happy?

No, no... I’m fine. It’s just...

We’re here for the experience, right?

I really look up to you and Aldrus. We all lived together in my house,

now you’re here. And everything is all fine.

I’m just amazed on how you guys can live like this.

Because you know Renald, we’ve been together for so many years,

and I only got to see his rich side.

If he’s going to be my husband,

I want him to know how to live, as in live!

Like this, like you.

Even if life is hard, you’re all okay.

So, I want him to know himself more.

I want us to know ourselves more.

So this... This is perfect!

Oh, by the way, here.

- You don’t have to. - No, take it. Here.

It’s so hot!

It’s hot.

So hot.

Babe, it’s so hot!

- Why is that fan so weak? - I don’t know.

- I can’t sleep... - What was that?

Did you hear that?

Hey.

What are you doing?

Shh... be quiet.

Wow! Looks yummy!

Sorry, Mindy. That’s all we could manage.

- Come on, let’s eat. - Try this.

Sure.

- It’s still hot. - Just get me a few.

Here.

Here.

Wow, you're so sweet to Che.

I hope after Ren and I get married, we'll be like that.

You can try it.

- Babe. - Hmm?

- Babe! There's a fish bone! - Water!

Here's how you do it.

Okay now?

Yeah. Thank you.

This damn signal.

Shit...

Babe!

- So many mosquitoes. Babe! - Babe?

What were you doing there?

I was going to take a shower because it’s hot.

Okay. So... do you think we really need 250 guests for our wedding?

Or is it better to have an intimate one?

- Babe... - Listen to me first,

that way, our budget can go to other things, like my gown.

- And of course, your suit and tie. - Babe...

You know my mom, she won’t let us have a simple wedding.

They’ve been waiting for this for so long.

After this immersion, we’ll sort out the wedding, okay?

- Okay. I love you. - I love you.

Oh?

You shower together?

Yeah, to save water.

Bro, maybe you can wear a towel next time?

Hmm?

Sure.

I just got used to it. Anyway, it’s our house.

He’s got a point, it’s their house. You should try it sometime.

Babe? Are you okay?

Are you sure? You’ve been in deep thought since earlier.

What's wrong?

- Let’s go home. - Huh?

Why?

It’s Aldrus...

What about Aldrus?

I noticed...

- his di... - What?

The way you look at him.

Oh, okay? What?

It’s like... I don’t know.

Babe, it’s nothing, it’s not what you think.

But I’m sorry. Besides...

he’s not my type. You’re way more handsome than him.

Fine. Alright.

You’re really the jealous type.

This is how you do this.

You need to keep stirring the sticky rice

so it doesn't burn.

After that, stir in the coconut milk.

Gently, so it thickens.

You need to keep stirring

so it doesn’t burn.

Like this, keep on stirring.

After that,

we’ll boil the coconut milk for the latik.

You also need to keep stirring to make sure the color is even.

Alright, so...

This seems like a lot of work, huh?

You get used to it. But that’s how it is,

everything takes work.

You put in the effort,

and when you taste the fruits of your labor,

it’s even sweeter.

- You want to try? - Huh?

Do you want me to teach you how to cook?

- Sure. - Like this.

There, gently.

Keep going.

Like that, keep going.

It’s hot.

Is it hot?

Just like this.

You need to keep the heat like this

to make it even better.

Oh!

Oh, there you are.

- Are those my orders? - Yeah, of course I didn’t forget.

But I brought some extras

- in case you want more. - I just ordered two.

Come on, add more. Can’t you see? My pockets are empty.

Okay, fine.

Good.

Thanks.

You’ve got company today...

He used to be our boss back in Manila.

Hi, Sir. Next time, I’ll buy from you instead.

- Thank you. - Alright.

Careful, it’s a bit rocky here.

Is this how you are when your wife’s not around?

Huh?

You just let others flirt with you even though you're married?

That? It’s nothing.

Che knows everything I do.

It’s part of the business, that’s how we sell.

Besides, if you’re really sure about each other,

there’s no reason to be jealous.

That’s why she doesn’t get jealous.

There, just like that, spread it evenly.

You’re doing great.

- Love, - Oh, you’re already here?

- Yeah, we sold out again. - You’re really great!

Here, babe, count it.

- You guys are amazing. - That’s how we do.

We sold everything, you know!

- Wow! You're amazing. - I'll keep this, okay?

Of course!

As for me, Che taught me how to cook,

- so now we’re ready for tomorrow. - She knows how to make it!

That’s great!

- You sold a lot. - Of course.

Wait, let me count.

This is great.

- Is this it? - Why? Yeah.

Che, after all the hard work we put into cooking today, only 2500 in sales?

Come on, what's important is we have something rather than nothing, right?

My god! That’s so sad and tiring.

But don’t worry, we’ll order more from you to help with the sales.

Oh, thank you!

- You’re really great at sales. - Well, of course.

- You, too, huh? - Yeah.

Pick out the ones we’re going to use for tomorrow.

- Here, take this. - Okay.

Why?

You seem hesitant.

Aren’t you used to someone getting close to you?

Aren’t you used to the heat of someone’s body?

Babe?

Didn’t I tell you not to be jealous anymore?

It’s nothing.

What?

Babe?

Wow. What’s the occasion?

It’s our anniversary.

- Come on, sit. - Sit down.

Congrats! Happy anniversary!

Let’s drink.

Take this as our way of saying thank you for all the help you’ve given.

Thank you.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Happy anniversary, you guys.

Thanks.

Time really flies, huh?

Before, you two were just secretly flirting.

We didn’t even know you two were together

until we caught you having sex in the maid's quarters.

- Babe! - What?

- Babe, that’s private. - It’s true.

And look at you now. You got married before Ren and I,

and now it’s your anniversary.

It’s not about how long the relationship is, Mindy.

Yeah, right. I’m just so happy for you.

You know, I really missed you two.

I told you, you can still stay with us after the wedding.

We’re fine here. Right?

We’re happy here.

- Really? - Yeah.

We’re both so happy here.

But what’s your long-term plan?

Like, are you still planning to move back to Manila?

Because, how can you save money like this?

You deserve a much better life.

You two, deserve so much better.

You’re both so hardworking,

and there are so many opportunities waiting for you.

Wealth isn’t only measured by money, Mindy.

We’re not chasing after anything more than what we have.

Well, I guess you’re right.

As long as you know you’re happy

and sure about it, nothing else matters.

I hope we’re still like that after we get married.

It’s your choice.

You just have to always make sure the passion is there

and the intimacy

in your relationship.

- Right, love? - Yeah, that’s right.

You hear it every night, right?

You need to give everything.

You need to give the kind of pleasure that they’re always looking for.

Give it your all.

You trust what they’ll do, and all your worries will fade away,

like it’s just you two,

no one else.

Are you just going to watch?

You know,

it’s not only them who can enjoy this.

I know you’ve been holding back for a long time.

You've been longing for this.

Love, is Miss Marites’ order final?

Yeah, love. She said 25 more.

Yes! You’re the best!

So? You coming?

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

- Love, we’ll deliver these now. - Alright, take care.

- Let me help. - Sure.

- It’s heavy. - Okay. I’ll take that.

Thanks.

- It really is heavy. - Right?

Alright, we’re done. We’ll be home early again.

I’ll just take a piss.

Like the flirting you did with that woman,

does Che also know you’re flirting with me?

And you... does Mindy know how you’re being drawn to me?

Does she know these questions in your mind after last night?

As for Che, she knows.

She saw what we did,

and you saw what they did.

I’m not hiding anything, and I don’t have anything to hide.

Why are you doing this?

And you guys, why are you doing this?

- Che, I’m sorry. - Huh? Why?

About last night... I know it was supposed to be a celebration of your anniversary...

but I think I ruined it.

That? It’s fine.

- What did Aldrus think? - Nothing. Because it’s nothing.

Nothing?

What do you mean nothing?

Then why did you kiss me last night?

Well... we were just playing, Mindy.

I was down for it, you were for it too. Our bodies just called out to each other.

You want a game, right?

We’re just playing along with you.

I think you got the answer already.

Are you still going to marry, or not?

You know yourself better now.

- That’s not true. - Really?

Che...

I just can’t stop thinking about you.

Ever since I’ve been with you in our house, I know I’m attracted to you.

But I thought that was all there was to it.

But after what happened last night, I know there’s more to it.

There’s nothing, Mindy.

Che, no. Be with me.

You will have a better life with me.

- A better life than this. - You know, Mindy,

I don’t need a life better than this.

If you’re not sure about the relationship you have, don’t try to compare us to you.

This isn’t what you really want?

Did you get what you wanted?

Sorry, but that’s all I can give you.

Mindy,

what’s happening to us?

Why? Is it wrong?

Why is it...

Why does it feel like there’s someone else I should be jealous of?

I think there’s something I need to know from you too.

Thank you.

Take care.

What happened there?

I don’t know.

Are you still not going to wear your ring?

Maybe later.

Once we get home.
