07:02 in the evening,

you're with Joe D' Mango at Magic 89.9.

It's Friday Madness.

Welcome to the program. This is Dear Joe Radio.

We'll play the hits of the '80s for you

all the way 'til 9 p.m. tonight, but if you're on the road right now,

just take it easy. It's slippery and wet, it's raining...

Keep safe and drive...

Dear Joe,

I'm Heart.

I always wonder what the letter senders feel when they send love letters.

I had never been in love.

I had other priorities.

My dad and my studies.

Not until my last year in high school.

It was unexpected but...

It was one of the happiest times I've ever experienced.

Joe, this is just the beginning of my story,

the story of my heart.

Growing up,

I've learned to translate my name in different languages.

But when my mom passed away,

I couldn't find the right translation to express the pain

that I felt in my heart.

Mama,

I promise I'll be strong for you.

For you and Papa.

I'll do anything to make you proud.

Moving on was hard for us.

Especially for Papa.

Papa.

It's already late.

I thought we'll have dinner together.

Sorry.

I came from the inauguration

of the firing range in San Felipe.

But you're drunk.

How did you manage to drive?

Your papa is amazing.

Right?

I only had a few bottles.

Don't worry.

Oh!

I remember something...

Don't get upset because I have a surprise for you.

I had this bought in the US.

iPod 2nd Generation.

You're the only one in Daet who has this yet.

Just get it here.

I'll head upstairs.

Days passed,

every moment felt so long

but like what I promised mama,

I have to be strong.

I need to be happy.

Joe,

although it's hard,

I try to find joy every day.

Elsa.

Fiona.

Did you find the other book?

- Right. We'll look for it. - Not yet.

- Come with me. - I don't want.

No, wait. I'll do it.

I have other books to find anyway.

- Can you look for these too? - Yes.

Shakespeare's Macbeth,

Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet,

Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn,

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby,

and Homer's The Odyssey.

Okay.

The floor is now open for the nominations for your class president.

Ma'am!

Yes, Precious Marie.

I respectfully nominate Beauty D. Kagandahan as our class president.

Period.

No erase.

Locked.

Key swallowed.

- Any other nominations? - Ma'am!

Fernando Po III.

Madam Maria Luningning Matimtiman.

Full name, huh?

It's Fiona.

Wow, the nerve!

Who are you going to nominate?

I respectfully

and wholeheartedly

nominate Ms. Heart Fajardo.

Yes!

There's no better candidate.

Beauty and brains.

Okay, let's vote!

Who are in favor with Beauty D. Kagandahan?

Hey!

The ugly ones are voting her!

Twenty!

Those who voted for her are ugly!

How about Heart Fajardo?

Hey, raise your hands!

Twenty as well.

Besides academics,

I kept myself busy with other school activities

because I know it will make my parents proud.

In fairness to you Heart,

you're both brainy and pretty.

OMG! It's Prince.

Fiona, stop your delusions.

I look even better than them.

Seriously?

You're overacting.

You don't know how I feel.

It's because you're gay.

Wait until you find out who the real gay is.

You might go crazy.

Friends, cut it out!

Elsa, there's nothing wrong about being gay.

They're very gentle.

When happiness became so hard to find,

someone found me,

someone saw me

in a dark moment...

of my life.

Your eyes.

Your eyes!

Why?

What's wrong with my eyes?

You've been staring at my face.

Sorry.

I'm Xavier!

Heart.

Wow, the pig is so handsome!

Bing the goat!

You, piggy!

Come here!

You're gonna regret this. Come here!

Let's wrestle!

Hey, Xavier and Gelo!

What's wrong with you?

I'm already exhausted from work

and now I come home to this.

I even bought you clothes.

- Wow! - Here.

Where's my kiss?

My kiss?

Wow!

You're so stubborn!

Check these out.

You know,

just because you're guys

doesn't mean you can't pick up after yourself

or keep things neat at home.

You can't just play around.

Sorry, Mama.

- I'm telling you... - Bing started it.

He's so annoying!

Stop calling him Bing.

Your brother is not a goat.

Oh dear! Okay, Bing...

I mean, Gelo.

My son, I love you.

Serve this goat ceviche now. That will be our dinner.

- Okay, mama. - Go away now.

Try this one. Open it.

See if it fits.

This one's for Bing.

Xavier, listen up.

You know I'm always busy at work.

I'm sorry I'm not always around.

It's okay, mama.

Don't stress yourself too much.

You know what?

If only Gelo's dad visits him often,

I would be more at peace.

But...

you're both away from your fathers.

That's why I can't wait for your petition for Australia to get approved,

so I won't stress over you anymore.

You know, mama.

I know you've already moved on from dad a long time ago.

But me?

I know you don't want me to go anywhere.

Of course!

Also...

I feel like there isn't really a petition.

I also can't leave you and Bing.

You're calling him Bing!

I mean, Gelo. Gelo!

I love you, mama.

I love you, too, my son.

Try this one.

Yuck!

You're so lame.

You really believe in that, huh?

Even if that shows you're a match,

if you don't pursue her, it won't lead to anything.

- Give me that! - Hey!

- Wait! - Fajardo!

Who threw that?

You're really getting on my nerves!

We'll have an activity.

Group yourselves into ten.

- Fab girls unite! - Fab girls unite!

Pretty girls, come here!

Come here!

Pipoy, Xavier, you may also look for your groupmates now.

Be the one to write on Manila paper.

Let me join your group.

Are you serious...

Pipoy?

Join our group? You think you belong here?

Yes!

We're eight in the group. We have enough now.

What the...

Can I join you, guys?

Sorry, there's no room for you.

Are you complete?

With your size, aren't you complete?

So... you're basically a group.

We still need one member.

Welcome to our team, Xavier.

I thought you were already full?

Yes, we're so full of you!

Go away.

Come here.

We don't have a choice. Give him two chairs.

We'll go ahead.

We'll try to catch the last full show.

Too bad you didn't want to join.

We have to hurry. Let's go!

Bye!

Enjoy!

Heart.

Heart!

Thank you for earlier.

There's a nearby eatery.

I want to treat you

for saving me earlier.

We just needed an extra teammate.

That was it.

Okay?

So please, don't act like we're too close.

Too close?

How about this?

No.

This?

Still no.

Don't come near me, okay?

Okay, I'll distance myself.

I won't get too close to you.

Still close but not very close.

Since Xavier and I met,

I feel like...

the pain I carry has become a little easy to bear.

I didn't realize...

he was already making me smile.

- Go! - You can do it!

Water boy.

Water boy!

I was a mess earlier.

A grand slam in messing up.

So embarrassing.

Is that why you're hiding because...

you're embarrassed?

It's too hot here.

What?

I said it's hot here.

Come outside.

Quickly!

No, I'm good.

I'm used to looking like a mascot.

I'll be best friends with Jollibee.

Are you sure? It's your chance to get close to me.

Oh, I haven't thanked you yet.

What for?

Grab these ones too, okay?

Okay.

Thank you, Heart!

Twenty as well.

Ma'am, my vote is for Heart!

Our class president is

Heart Fajardo.

For those moments when I thought I didn't need help.

Anyway.

So...

friends?

Really?

Are you sure?

You don't want it?

I do.

Friends.

Oh, you!

Ouch!

We're friends now!

Xavier.

Were you looking for me?

Stop assuming, okay?

No.

Just wondering why I haven't run into my new friend today.

Don't miss me too much.

I was gone for a bit and you're already looking for me?

I might get used to that.

Wow!

You're so slim, huh?

Wow!

You're too harsh.

I'm just kidding.

Here's our handout from Miss Luningning.

Study that for our reporting.

I'll go ahead.

Alright.

Are you into photography?

This is me.

You were the-

that chubby kid who tripped.

You mom is looking for you

waiting for the vinegar she asked you to buy.

You were the kid who needed vinegar.

I never had a chance...

to see you after that.

After my parents separated,

I moved out with my mom.

Then my dad flew to Australia.

That's why I only visit our old village once in a while.

I didn't have the chance to look for you.

I was just visiting my aunt then.

But you know,

I saw you when we were freshmen but we weren't in the same class.

And so?

You didn't even approach me?

So many were interested in you, I couldn't make my move.

Also,

I'm too shy.

Why?

You're like a celebrity.

Everyone knows you.

But even though

I couldn't go near you,

I'm still your number one fan mesmerized by your beauty.

You're also slightly cute.

Just slight?

Well, some say I'm good-looking.

Who? Your parents?

No.

Papa Jesus.

Hey!

Handsome!

Papa J!

Aren't you going to introduce me to her?

Of course, I will, Papa J.

Just finding the right timing.

Heart,

I want you to meet the one and only...

Papa Jesus!

Nice meeting you, sir.

So, you're Papa Jesus!

I thought---

The Lord.

Jesus is my real name.

Xavier's just a little mischievous.

But you, you...

you may call me...

Papa J.

Yeah!

After filling out the form, we will conduct a short interview

for the preliminary screening.

Those shortlisted will show us their talent

and that will determine who will be the 7 contestants

to compete at the 7th edition of Mr. Awesome.

And guys, you have to remember what qualities our judges are looking for.

You gotta have...

charisma.

You must have...

an oozing personality,

appeal,

and charm.

There he is.

Don't block my view!

Hi, girl friends!

Am I late for the audition?

No.

Wait. Where are you going? The audition hasn't started yet.

Prince already finished it.

- Are you sure? - Bye!

One, two, three, down!

You also!

Boys, give me more energy!

Is this Mr. Awesome or Mr. Lousy?

Boys are so irritating! Even the ones in front!

We've got a lot of work to do.

Just relax.

- Relax! - Let me handle this.

Just relax.

Come on, bro.

Loosen up.

I wish I were a contestant too,

so Prince would also massage me.

Isn't it awkward for him to massage another guy?

Maybe he just wants to be a masseur.

Maybe you're crazy.

Guys, where are the props?

Heart, they're here!

Xavier, where are the lights?

Here!

Xavier, is the sound system ready?

It's ready!

Xavier, where are the snacks?

That's too much.

We relied on Xavier for everything.

- He's the one who volunteered. - True.

And you took advantage?

You must be tired.

I can see how much effort you've put into organizing Mr. Awesome.

Thank you.

You also worked a lot.

It's okay.

Because when I'm with you,

I feel awesome too.

Heart, we have a problem.

Jerold backed out.

What are we going to do?

We were set for 7 contestants.

That will ruin our program.

Welcome to this year's search for Mr. Awesome!

Let's give a round of applause

to our seven awesome candidates.

I'm Jay Cañete.

Girls, I wish I were a basketball...

Why?

So I could score to your hearts.

Do you know what sets you apart from Rizal?

What?

Rizal is stamped on the peso, while you're stamped in my heart.

Are you the sun?

Why?

Because your smiles are blinding me.

Are you poop?

Why?

'Cause I'm 'falling' for you.

Surprised, huh?

Me too.

I'm Xavier Sales

and I believe in the saying,

"If I'm not meant for her, then that's her loss."

Are you ready for our next segment?

Because this is...

Mr. Awesome's talent portion!

So tired of waiting I can't keep still...

In the night...

I'll recite poetry, it'll be long.

I'll sit,

and that's it.

Mom.

I brought your favorite noodles.

Mom?

Mom!

My mom!

Why is it you I always seek?

Hey, that's enough, get off the stage now.

Oh, you're on a diet?

That's not you!

Shut up!

Don't talk when your mouth is full.

Hold on.

Xavier, why do you seem so down?

Also, just quit dieting.

That's only for today.

You won't be able to commit to it.

Go, eat.

Mama, he's dieting because

I'm sure his crush dumped him.

Gelo, where did you learn that?

You're just a kid,

and you already know about being dumped.

Is that true? You got dumped?

No, it's not true.

Don't believe this goat.

But you are courting someone, right?

Piggy has a girl!

Hey, Bing!

Heart is not an ordinary girl.

Oh, her name is Heart.

- Might have a chance maybe? - You're asking that too soon.

I'm too shy to even court her.

Here's the thing...

she's so beautiful.

She's so perfect. She has it all.

My son, it's not about looks.

Xavier, it is how you treat a girl.

You must make her feel special.

Your consistency to be with her especially during her times of need.

That's how you earn charm points.

- You're so lucky. - I'm not sure if I like him.

Is it the guy from the other section, their top 1 like Heart?

Hey!

Hey, Heart!

What's up? Why do you look spaced out?

He's right.

It's been a while.

Nothing.

I'm just worried about papa.

I'm the one who got a text.

Not you, Heart.

Look! It's from 2366.

Kapamilya Meteor Garden updates. Do you want it?

I want it.

Send it to me.

I'll forward it.

It's mine, Heart.

It's Ramon, my suitor from 3rd year section Ipil-Ipil.

You want me to set you up?

He's kind.

She doesn't want it.

Wait, I'm noticing something.

Do you miss him?

Who are you talking about?

Missing who?

You're being in denial.

It's about the mystery guy.

Oh, he's right.

I agree with him.

What?

Hey, Heart...

hear me out.

From one beautiful girl to another,

if you get overtaken in the honor roll,

you're in trouble with me.

Is she your scholar?

Xavier!

Xavier, wait!

I've been texting you but you're not replying.

Sorry, my phone is out of credit.

What?

I have no load!

Are you shouting at me?

Why aren't you answering my calls?

My phone's dead.

I borrow a charger since mine's broken.

What?

My phone has an empty battery!

Get out so we can talk clearly.

You're full of excuses.

You didn't even say goodbye the other day.

What I hate the most is when you just leave without saying bye.

What?

Are you out of excuses?

Sorry.

Wow!

It's beautiful here.

Yes, so beautiful.

Good thing you managed to get here at Mount Panit.

It's hard.

I struggled so much.

That's just how it its.

What we work hard for becomes even more beautiful.

Xavier, I'm sorry.

Sorry about what happened at Mr. Awesome.

I didn't expect things would turn out that way.

No, it's okay.

What matters is that

you pulled off the event beautifully and successfully.

It was really awesome after all.

Do you come here often?

Yes.

We used to picnic here with mom and dad when I was a kid.

And my last memory of us

as a complete family...

it was here.

I'll admit,

sometimes I wish we could go back to how things were.

I know my mom has moved on, so has my dad.

They both have their own lives.

But sometimes, I still can't help but feel sad.

Especially since...

we were happy back then.

At least, you're true to yourself.

Me, I try to create this image that I'm always happy,

that I'm always strong,

because it's what my dad wants.

But you know, most of the time,

I feel alone.

No one understands me.

Well, no one understands me because

I don't show my true self.

But I saw the real you a long time ago. Right?

You're so beautiful in the picture.

Perhaps I captured it when you were still happy.

I've seen you at your lowest too.

You were there?

I wished

I could go near you

so I could comfort you.

I know how it feels to lose someone.

When I'm lonely,

my camera is my only companion.

And a photo of my beautiful crush.

Heart, I'm sorry...

I avoided you.

But I promise

never again.

I don't care even if I block your view.

For the first time in my life,

I felt someone understands me.

That I'm not alone.

That I have someone by my side through all the heaviness I feel.

I felt so relieved.

Who is your first crush?

Are you serious?

- Do I really have to answer this? - Yeah, Fiona?

Are you serious?

Long quizzes don't bother you, but this does?

So true.

- Hurry up! - Hurry up!

Heart, I think you got smaller.

Huh? Why?

Before, you were just on my mind. Now, you're in my heart.

Heart.

My house is there.

Do you want to have snacks before I bring you home?

Don't bother. It's fine.

Please?

I'm sure my mom prepared a snack.

My mom cooks the best stir-fry noodles in town.

Mama, Xavier is here...

with his crush!

- Hey! - Huh?

Wait a sec!

Mama, this is Heart.

My crush.

Noodles?

Heart, we've already finished answering our exams, right?

Yes. Why?

Can you finally answer me now?

Time to eat!

I'm hungry.

Nothing's left?

- Baby girl? - Hmm?

Do you know how to count?

Why?

Let's see.

What comes after

"I love you one"?

I love you two?

Don't even try to shout!

Heart,

our prom is already next week.

Did Prince ask you to be his date?

No.

My dad also won't allow me to have a prom date.

You really think he will ask me to prom?

I don't think so.

Happy now?

You think Prince will ask you?

Wake up, sis! You're being delusional.

You're such a villain!

Fine, I'm the villain.

But I bet your 'Princess' wants to date someone else.

I mean, Prince.

I smell something strange about him.

With all that smelling,

you seem like a dog now.

And what do you mean?

He smells really good.

Yes.

He smells like cherry,

sometimes strawberry.

Smells like my baby.

Prince, are you going to propose?

Yes!

I will!

No.

I just tied my shoes.

I'll go now.

Bye, girlfriends!

Bye, Princess! I mean, Prince. Sorry!

Baby girl!

It's done!

Baby girl?

Take care of your heart, okay?

You must only give it to someone deserving.

Come on, baby girl!

- Papa J! - Yes?

How can I convince Heart's dad?

Have you seen the fence behind us?

How did you know there's a fence there?

How will I not know?

I constructed it.

Are you kidding me?

Do you know the "fence technique"?

- Fence technique? - Yes.

Yes!

Fence, fence, fence...

I'll guard her like a fence, so no one can touch my baby

Papa might get mad when he sees you.

Just relax.

I really want to talk to him.

Can I come in with you?

No.

Papa, he's Xavier, my classmate.

Sir, I've got a suggestion for the prom.

I'm not open to suggestions.

Just trying, sir.

What is it? You're taking my daughter to prom?

Of course not.

Even if Heart insists, I won't agree.

Sir, I'm just concerned with her since we're good friends.

Too many guys are eyeing Heart.

Maybe she needs a bodyguard at prom.

Well, you're a big guy.

It seems you can easily guard my daughter.

Yes, sir!

I'll be her big fence.

And no one will ever get over this fence.

I'll make sure of it.

I don't think you'd fall in love with a fence, right?

Heart.

Hi, Heart!

- You look stunning! - Thank you.

Have you been here for a while?

If this is the last song I'll sing

I want you to know that

You've become a part of my life

And if there's something I need to say

I want to say you've brought

Color to my world

I cried with you

Because of you

I have hope

This song is for you

And if my voice runs out

I won't regret it

Because what you've heard

From my lips is true

Thank you

Thank you!

- Xavier, where are you? - Papa J!

- Sorry, Papa J! - Xavier, where are you?

Hold onto me.

You're too excited.

I'm sorry.

From the first time I saw you

I was captivated by your beauty

I've been eagerly waiting to be with you

Hey!

Papa J, they're here.

Hey!

What is this nonsense?

I'm serious about this, sir.

Sir Mario, this is Papa Jesus.

You even brought someone named Jesus, huh?

Hey, that won't work on me.

I've already been there and done that.

- Let's back out now. - Wait.

Sir Mario...

I just want to ask for your permission.

Can I court your daughter?

Go home now!

Sir.

I promise

I'll take care of her.

You can count on me.

I'll help you take care of Heart.

I said go home!

Now!

Get inside.

Get inside now.

I'll think about it,

I'll think about it.

Heart.

Bye!

Papa!

Have you seen Xavier?

It's Xavier! Let's go!

Xavier, you're such a great singer!

You're so handsome, I think I'm in love!

Baby girl!

Forget Heart!

Baby girl.

Baby girl!

Baby girl?

Leave me alone.

Just be with your fans.

They're just teasing me.

You can court them if you want.

Baby girl!

I'll just tell dad to take back his permission.

What?!

Really?!

Ouch!

And now I pronounce you, husband and wife.

One, two, three...

Prince!

You cheaters!

That was the happiest day of my life.

With the person who makes me the happiest.

It's Xavier.

I don't know, but maybe,

that's what they call...

"first love."

What happened?

I don't know.

You might have run out of gas.

It has gas.

My phone's dead.

Try yours.

Call Dad.

I've got no credit.

Again?

Can it be fixed?

I'm not sure.

Xavier.

The sun is setting.

You promised my dad.

What took you so long?

Sir Mario, I'm sorry.

We arrived late because my car broke down.

You got me worried.

You should've had your car repaired before leaving.

Papa, he did everything to get it fixed immediately.

He walked too far to find a mechanic.

You should've called me so I could've come right away.

My phone died.

He has no load.

Hey, you!

We made a deal, right?

You gave your word to me.

You're just starting to court my daughter

and you're already showing that kind of behavior?

How can I trust you?

Sir, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I hope you can give me another chance.

Give me your phone.

You are grounded.

You cannot to talk to him.

What?

Papa, that's so unfair.

It wasn't Xavier's fault that his car broke down.

You're always like that when you're drunk.

You don't listen.

Get inside now.

You're grounded!

Inside!

Sir, sorry!

I'm really sorry!

Go home now!

Just go home!

Hello, Xavier?

Heart?

Xavier, I'm sorry.

Papa was drunk, so it's hard to explain things to him.

He has the right to be mad.

He was just worried about you.

I'm also at fault.

I promised to bring you home early.

Papa?

Heart?

Heart?!

Papa?

Papa!

Are you nearby?

We're ready!

Stretcher!

Just stay here.

We'll take care of him.

Doc, what happened with dad?

It's alcohol poisoning.

He had too much intake.

He drank quicker than his body could do it.

We pumped out his stomach

and gave him IV fluids to treat dehydration.

But alcohol poisoning is dangerous.

He might have hypothermia,

irregular or stopped heartbeat.

And the loss of consciousness could lead to death.

But he's stable for now.

Thank you, Doc.

I'll go ahead.

Just breathe.

Stay calm.

Don't worry, I'll look after your dad.

Me and my mama.

We'll make sure he's taken care of.

Hello, sir!

How are you feeling now?

I'm Xavier's mom.

He told me he's friends with your daughter, Heart.

Mama, is he already allowed to eat?

We have to monitor him for the next 48 hours.

You can only eat in small portions,

but solid food is still not allowed.

Alright. I'll just buy him soup.

That child of mine is really sweet.

I'll head out for rounds now.

I'll leave you first.

Love you, Mama!

You know, sir...

Heart is lucky to have you

because you're always there for her.

My father is no longer here.

He's in Australia.

I'm always waiting for his call.

No particular reason.

I just want to share random things with him.

When I pass difficult exams,

I really want to share it with him.

The prom.

I wanted to tell him how happy I was that night.

Maybe if he were just here,

it would feel so good to share stories with him.

I'm sorry.

I might be getting overly dramatic.

I just miss him so much.

You know,

perhaps

Heart also feels the same way toward me.

Sir.

Heart's only been waiting for you to come back.

Heart.

I'm sorry.

He insisted to come here.

He wanted to see you.

Papa.

Why did you get up?

You're still weak.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Heart.

I just want to be with you.

Papa.

Hello?

Give me that!

Hello?

He's playing with-

Why are you playing with my passport, Bing?

I don't know...

This kid!

There you go, your dad's call got cut off.

Your brother is so hard-headed.

What?

- Wait. - It's gone.

Why were you talking?

Here's the thing.

He couldn't contact you.

He has a very important news.

Here's what will happen.

He'll come here for your graduation.

Then...

he'll bring you with him to Australia.

I thought that Australia thing was a joke.

We haven't talked about it in a long time.

Here it is.

It's finally happening.

Shocking, right?

But your brother...

I caught him about to cut your passport.

I'm sure he doesn't want you to leave.

Even though he's stubborn,

he will surely miss you.

Mama,

I don't have to leave.

What a waste if you miss this opportunity.

If only I can provide everything to you,

I won't allow you to leave.

Xavier, don't leave.

Don't leave us.

I promise, I won't call you piggy anymore.

You know, Papa J...

when I first learned

that dad plans to bring me to Australia to study,

I was so excited.

Come to think of it,

I could have a part-time job while studying there.

I'll be able to earn faster.

I'll be able to help Mama.

I really want her to retire.

I also have a promise to you.

I'll get your eyes treated.

It warms my heart...

that you're thinking about me too.

But...

like what I always tell you.

The way you value me

is enough for me.

You treat me like a father,

someone you can talk to

and listen to.

I'm already content with that.

Thank you, Papa J.

You really are...

like a father to me.

I can open up to you more than I can with papa.

I really have to go to Australia.

We talked about it a long time ago.

Xavier?

You're leaving?

You didn't tell me?

Why did he even pursue me

and befriend me?

He even courted me but he'll just leave.

The question is...

how much do you want him?

But the more important question is...

is there anything you can do?

Gelo.

Stop crying.

After I leave,

take care of Mama.

Don't be mad.

They say it's cold in Australia in March.

I won't be there with you but when you're wearing that

it'll be as if I'm hugging you.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you mad?

It's too small.

- What? - Look at Justin's big brother.

That's his brother?

Hey, have you seen Xavier?

Hasn't he arrived?

Maybe he's stuck at catering?

You know, it's graduation.

He'll be here soon.

I see someone handsome.

There he is.

Paranoid.

Yes.

Mama.

Where are you now?

I've been waiting for you and Papa.

They're asking us to line up.

I thought your dad is already there.

The ER is swamped with patients.

Some children are in critical condition.

I will try to catch up.

Call your dad.

Our class valedictorian,

Fajardo, Heart E.

Go, baby girl!

That's my best friend!

Heart is also the recipient of the following:

Best in English,

Best in Filipino...

Go, baby girl!

Best in Science...

She grabbed every award!

And the Presidential Award for Leadership.

Hello, Papa?

The ceremony has started.

Mama won't make it.

We're still here in Singapore.

Our flight got delayed.

They had a sudden issue.

They haven't given an update yet on our next flight to Manila.

So, you won't make it to my graduation?

Papa, I'm the only one without a parent here.

I'm sorry, Xavier.

I'll call your mother.

I'll insist that she attend.

No, it's okay.

You don't have to call her.

She is needed more at the hospital.

Bye for now, Papa.

Let's now proceed with the distribution of diplomas.

Starting with Fourth Year-Mayon.

Lopez, Prince N.

Po, Fernando III C.

Quirino, Albert F.

Sales, Xavier T.

Congratulations!

Congrats.

Congrats!

Sir, thank you!

Shhh, not too close.

Let's take a photo.

Move a little.

Look at the camera.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers!

After our college graduation,

let's also celebrate here.

Will you return?

Of course, I will.

Soon, I'll be the one riding that plane.

Stop joking around.

How will you know if I'm here?

Of course I will feel it.

You'll know when you love the person.

You might say it's cheesy, huh?

But "love",

you don't see it,

but you feel it.

Heart.

I have two promises for you.

Even though I'll be far,

the distance won't matter.

Always remember...

I'll still love you.

Really?

What's your second promise?

Whatever happens,

I'll come back for you...

because I love you so much.

The person I always want to be with...

is only you.

Even though I didn't want to say goodbye to Xavier,

his hugs and promises reassure me that he'll come back,

that there are no goodbyes,

that we'll see each other again.

7:02 in the evening,

you're with Joe D' Mango on Magic 89.9.

It's Friday Madness.

Welcome to the program Dear Joe Radio.

We're going to play 80's hits for you

all the way 'til 9 p.m. tonight...

What if we don't go home?

Let's just stay like this.

Happy.

What if the next time we meet

we won't be like this anymore?

Not happy.

What if things change between us?

Even if everything changes,

our love for each other will never change,

especially my love for you.

Xavier.

I've been waiting for you to wake up for days.

Really?

What happened to your flight?

Don't think about it.

You know,

I won't leave without saying goodbye.

I know you don't want that.

But you'll still leave me.

Not anymore.

Get well soon, okay?

Come on, give me a smile.

There.

I'll carry your smile with me on my flight.

When will we see each other again?

Just...

close your eyes...

whenever you want to see me.

Really?

Yes.

Papa?

Where's Xavier?

Heart.

He's gone.

What?

Where is he?

He said he's not leaving anymore.

When was his flight?

Heart.

Xavier, didn't make it.

And you, your eyes got affected.

You could've gone blind

but Xavier gave his eyes for you.

No.

No, Papa.

That's not what he told me.

He said he will just be here.

He said he will stay, Papa.

I hope so.

I hope my son is still here.

I'm glad...

he was able to give you his eyes.

His memory lives on.

Be strong.

I'm sorry, Papa J.

I didn't visit you right away.

I didn't want to remember the things that remind me of Xavier.

He loves you...

so it's harder.

It hurts.

But you know,

even if you close your eyes

because you don't want to see

anything that will remind him of you...

the heart cannot avoid it.

Even if you cover it,

your heart will not go blind.

It will always feel.

Your love will remain.

Like Xavier's love for you.

It will never change.

But he's gone, Papa J.

No.

No, my child.

As long as the wind blows,

he'll be in our midst.

And in my heart,

in my heart,

I know...

I know he's happy

because

you'll continue to live

looking at a bright future

with his memory.

Miss.

Miss?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's okay.

We all go through something.

That's the thing...

why do some people just come and leave?

Is that how it is?

They'll be here for a while

then just leave?

You know, sometimes in the blink of an eye

there are people who disappear from our lives,

people we love.

And even if we want to bring back the hands of time,

we can't bring them back.

Even if we want to, we cannot.

We can never bring back the past.

As they say, when we love,

even if we love someone,

even if we fail,

even if we lose that love,

what matters is not how long we have loved

what matters is that we have loved at all.

Heart,

don't be sad.

God is still writing your story.

Grief is the price we have to pay for love.

But no matter how painful it is,

no matter how hard it is,

pain will always be the foundation

on which beautiful things are built.

Even if the people we cherish

remind us of what we have lost

and brings us pain,

we will become stronger

for having experienced them

and their love will always remain alive

in the echoes of our hearts.

In our brokenness,

God is going to make something beautiful in our lives.

And when He does,

it will not be our last goodbye,

but the start...

of a beautiful forever.
