Original subtitles

A long time ago,

when we were kids,

we weren't afraid of anything.

What mattered was that we were always happy.

Like me and my best friend, Sari!

Yay!

Cookie?

We didn't get tired so easily.

- Cookie! - We weren't afraid of getting hurt!

Cookie!

Especially Sari.

She was fearless.

But in an unexpected turn,

just like all kids who eventually grow up,

there came a day

when Sari finally met Fear.

Why did you hurt him?

It's your fault he left me!

I curse you!

Every man you love will disappear!

Sari didn't understand what the woman said.

But for the first time,

she felt fear.

Despite everything,

-Sari couldn't stop herself -Happy birthday, Jayrald!

From falling in love.

Again and again…

But they all disappeared like smoke.

Still, Sari didn't give up.

Now I'm sure…

- She loved beyond the stars! - I love you, Piolo!

- I love you more. - Superstars!

But unfortunately…

Breaking news:

Actor Piolo Pascual… is missing!

He wasn't just my boss.

He was family. I hope he's found soon.

P, if you're watching right now,

don't lose hope.

Did Papa P have to disappear, too?

You loved him, didn't you?

You kissed him, didn't you?

Mm-hm.

You were cursed.

Every man you love will disappear.

The curse is for the men who make your heart race.

The kind of love that takes your breath away!

The kind that kisses you on the lips…

On the neck…

Down to…

Wait! Wait!

Madam!

Does that mean I'll never get married?

I'll never have my one big happy family? No more kids?

Uh-huh. You'll grow old alone.

From then on, Sari trained herself

to grow old alone.

Uh, Sari. Can I join you?

I can eat alone, thanks.

Suit yourself.

Hey, Sari.

Care for some company?

Huh? Nah! I can watch alone.

Okay. Your loss.

If this was really her fate,

she might as well get used to it.

Poor Sari.

Hon? Are you okay?

I'll take you to the hospital.

Happy birthday Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me

- Happy birthday, Sari! - Yay!

Oh!

I thought I blew you away, Cookie.

Forgive me. It's my birthday.

Oh, Sari. You're twenty-five now.

You sure you can go on?

Can you really?

I can!

I can.

But just because you can be alone,

doesn't mean you want to be, right?

My poor bestie.

Is she just supposed to accept

that the world isn't on her side?

But what she didn't know…

A Prince Charming will appear to take away her fear.

I'm so giddy!

Ouch!

Next, please.

Thanks.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Okay, next

- Next, please. - Thank you

Okay, thank you. Give this back here.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Thank you. Next.

Oh. Sari?

You still work here?

Bryan?

Hey. How have you been?

- I'm back home now because, well... - Hi, baby!

Mmm.

- I'm getting married. - Hi!

Ahh…

What about you? Still single?

And you? Still an asshole?

- Huh? - You're getting a marriage license, right?

- Mm-hm. - Okay,

just fill this out and bring it back here. I'll process it for you.

- Oh, thank you! - Thank you.

Get that sorted first.

I can't believe those two.

Hey!

Bryan's still a cutie, isn't he?

Who is he?

He was Sari's old suitor, but she dumped him.

I should've just kissed him.

So he'd disappear.

That arrogant guy.

Huh? Why?

You could be the one getting married.

And you'd be...

Wait. Who said I wanted to get married?

If some people are meant to be,

others are meant to be single. And I'm one of those.

Hey!

Here we go again.

All you do is gossip!

Chatting at work!

Look how long the line is!

- Ma'am. Thank you. - Oh my.

- Next! Thank you. - Okay.

Next please. Proceed to counter 6.

Thanks, mister!

Hey, Sari! There's a promo at Andeng's.

- Oh, thanks! - Sari!

Thank goodness you're here.

We're going live!

Hey, I'll order more of your sausages!

Hey, Sari! Are you getting a pedicure?

- Let's put you on. - Maybe later.

I still owe you, right?

Oh, come on, Sari. Help me out.

There!

Oh? See?

Brand new!

A fresh catch!

So grab it before it spoils!

Nida, you do mean the jacket...

- I meant the jacket. - The jacket.

- Love! - Oh?

Say hi to our buyers first.

Give them a killer move.

- Ah! - Hey!

That's right! Silky smooth!

- Someone wants you. Move. - Oh, okay.

My husband is not for sale.

Okay! Back to work.

Get lost!

Get out of here.

I'm the one with the big mouth?

That's enough. Thanks, Sari.

And don't ever come back here!

One more and I'll slap you.

Wait, let's talk about this.

Jheng, let Ritchie speak.

How? He's mute.

I knew that. Just listen to Jheng.

Come on, Sari. He's deaf, too.

But you love each other, right?

Then say sorry.

Sorry too!

Get a room, you two!

Miss Sorry! Miss Sorry!

Hi, Mik-mik!

Sweetheart, what did we teach you?

- It's "Sari." Not "Sorry." - Sorry!

Oh! Miss Sorry, look at all my awards!

Wow! You're amazing, Mik-mik!

Best in Cuteness!

Best in… Daughter?

Your teacher gave you these?

Oh, no. Dada and Papa did.

- Deserved! - Deserved!

- Okay, time for bed. - Bye, Dada!

- Bye Sari! - Bye. Take care!

- Good night, Mik-mik! - Good night, Miss Sorry!

Good night, Sari!

Oh, thank you. Bye!

Hey! Hey! Where are you going? It's late!

- Sis, I just have a date with… - Sis.

I'm just picking up Lyka.

Another date? Wow, you guys must be rich!

If something bad happens to you,

your mom will haunt me!

If that happens, I swear! Hey, Carlo.

Be home before ten.

- We're going, sis. - Hey, did you do the laundry?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow? I can't believe you.

Date...

Cookie! Cookie!

Come on, let's eat.

Gosh.

I don't know how to deal with Lyka anymore.

She's so stubborn!

She doesn't answer my calls.

Good thing you cooked my favorite sour shrimp soup!

Let her be. She's in love.

You're acting like you've never been in love.

Grandma…

You all know why I can't, right?

Dear, it's 2025. You still believe in curses?

Grandma, it's real!

Don't you want someone to take care of you?

Someone to love you?

Not anymore.

I can live by myself.

Yes you can, but do you want to?

Now, let me ask you...

Do you want to grow old alone?

Grandma…

All that lovey-dovey thing…

Oh my!

It's just a waste of time.

Love is never a waste of time.

Berto's been gone a long time.

But my love for him keeps me alive.

And so does my love for Bochog.

Bochog? You keep talking about your grandson.

You always tell me stories about him.

Has he ever visited you?

Even if he's not here,

I love that boy dearly.

Oh, you two would get along.

I'm sure you'd make a great pair.

Not until he visits you.

Where is he anyway?

What?

Hello, sir!

Just letting you know that…

It's huge!

- What is? - Your bill... it's gotten really huge.

And the cards you gave us?

All declined.

Sorry to bother you.

You know what?

I'm really sorry.

I lost my wallet. I don't have it with me.

Obviously.

But I promise, I'll be back tomorrow to settle my bill.

Alright, sir.

See you tomorrow!

- See you tomorrow. - Bye!

Keep out!

Grandma! We got this.

Just stay there, okay?

Don't go outside.

Don't move, got it?

Wait! Wait!

Wait! Wait!

What is going on here?

Sari! These monkeys are back!

Causing trouble again!

They'll pressure Grandma into selling Tahanan!

Where is Mrs. Mejares?

Have some compassion! She's old!

She's not here!

We just want to talk to her!

Get out of here!

- Leave! - Leave!

Now, wait a hot minute.

Grandma, go back inside.

We can handle this. Right?

You're never gonna leave me alone, are you?

If you don't leave right now,

I'll have you charged with trespassing!

We just want to help.

I already told you I'm not selling this place!

And I'm not the only one you have to go through.

Aren't you the owner?

I am!

But all my tenants here

have rights to Tahanan Homes.

- That's right! - It belongs to them, too.

- It belongs to all of us! - That's right.

And you won't take it from us as long as I'm alive.

So get out of here!

Long live Grandma Remy!

- Long live! - Long live!

Amen.

Grandma Remy passed away?

We didn't even get to see her wake.

Only close family members were allowed.

But they never even visited her here.

We were closer to her than they were.

Especially Sari.

What's the cause of death?

Heart attack.

She loved her husband so much,

she followed him to the grave.

- Attorney, I'm Sari. - Hi.

My condolences to you.

The reason I came here is to tell you about Tahanan Homes,

since this concerns the tenants.

In the event that she passes away,

Tahanan Homes will be given to her only grandson, Jolo Gonzales.

Bochog?

I'm sorry, Jolo. I can't do this.

Oh my god!

Jolo! What's happening?

Jolo, sorry.

Your Grandma Remy has passed away.

You can do this, Jolo.

It'll be quick.

Hey!

Mister! Don't do it, please!

Mister!

Whatever it is you're planning,

don't do it!

If you fall, the fishes will feast on you.

There are crocs in there, too!

Huh?

Wait, who are you?

Why do you care?

Mind your own business!

Mind my own business?

I just saved your life, didn't I?

Wait a minute.

It's you!

Let me see.

You know what? Next time, just mind your own business.

So annoying.

He's the...

It's really him!

Dad.

What are you doing here?

She was still my mother-in-law.

You look horrible.

Where have you been staying?

They say you're here a lot.

Look, you can always ask for my help if you need...

I don't need your help.

Jolo!

A lawyer came to the house.

I told him I'd give this to you myself.

He said you can keep it or you can sell it.

Either way, it's all yours.

I'll go ahead.

Who's that?

My next boyfriend!

You haven't even seen his face!

Oh, I'd date him, love him, marry him,

and grow old with him!

Who's that?

Ritchie, do you know him?

Mmm… yum!

Perfectly sour!

Of course. It's Grandma's cooking.

It's made with love.

- That's your favorite, right? - Mm-hm.

Do you still dream of becoming a pilot

like your dad?

Yes, Grandma.

There you go.

If that happens, I'll be your first passenger.

You'll visit me here, won't you?

You're always welcome here at Tahanan. Don't forget that.

I love you, Bochog.

Ma, we have to go. Jolo.

Attorney.

Yes.

I've decided to sell Tahanan Homes.

Okay, Jolo.

I'll let you know when the papers are ready.

Korea, here I come!

I hope I save enough soon.

Grandma Remy?

Oh my! There's a man in there!

Hey!

Cookie! Cookie!

- Cookie! - Hey, sis!

Cookie!

Cookie!

Cookie!

Oops!

Oh!

Oh my god! Whoa!

- What? - Jumbo! Jumbo!

First time?

- Wait… you? - You?

Are you a stalker? I'm calling the cops.

You've got some nerve calling the cops on me.

And you've got some nerve saying

it's the first time I've seen a jumbo hot dog!

FYI, yes!

And FYI, I live in this compound.

Who are you anyway? You're in Grandma Remy's house.

Excuse me.

Bochog?

Bochog?

Bochog!

Wait,

- how do you...? - Sari!

Oh my! Nida!

What are you doing?!

Cookie! Cookie! Come here.

Oh my god. Let's go! Come on, Cookie.

You keep running off everywhere.

What were you doing?!

My Cookie went inside him...

No! He went inside my cookie...

- Oh! - No, no.

Look, it's just Cookie, okay...

You! I'm taking you back home.

That's Bochog!

That's Grandma Remy's grandson.

She told me he's a good guy, but he's really a jerk!

I can't stand him! He's so annoying!

Bochog went viral?

He got chased by a loan shark at the altar.

His fiancée had no idea.

So she left him!

The comments say he also owns Escape Bar.

They say he's drowning in debt.

Oh no!

That means he's really going to sell Tahanan Homes

to pay off his debts!

- Huh? Who said anything about selling? - Ritchie!

He lip-read him while he's on the phone earlier.

Wow, Ritchie's such a good lip-reader.

What now, Sari? We can't leave.

Mik-mik just transferred to a school nearby.

And Sari,

we won't find an apartment this cheap anywhere.

Wait, wait.

No one's leaving!

As Grandma Remy said,

Tahanan Homes is our home!

- Period! - Exactly!

- Right? - You know, Sari.

Why don't you talk to Mr. Hotshot?

After all, you're pretty close.

Why me? I'm busy too. I've got a lot going on.

Sari, didn't you just say…?

"Tahanan Homes is our home," right?

- Yeah! - Yeah!

- Please talk to him. - Why do I have to go alone?

- Can't anyone come with me? - You can do it alone!

Good morning!

Freshly baked bread! As fresh as me!

A little sweetness to start your day!

It's best enjoyed while we talk about...

Oh my.

Special delivery for your sweet tooth

from a sweet girl like me!

You're welcome!

Don't mention it!

So grumpy!

Bochog! How did you like the bread we gave you?

We all chipped in for that.

And you know what...

Super! I swear!

Wait!

Psst!

Psst!

Grandson…

Bochog!

Grandma?

It's me, dear.

I have something to ask of you.

What is it, Grandma?

Anything for you.

I can't cross over to heaven.

You have to do this, my child.

Take care of… Tahanan.

Yes, Grandma.

Be good to the people living here.

I'll try, Grandma.

And for me to finally ascend to heaven,

talk to Sari.

S-Sari?

The cute one.

The kind lady.

The beautiful girl.

The pretty one.

The little Chinese princess.

She's a good person.

Don't be rude to her.

She's very...

Grandchild!

Grandchild!

Are you messing with me?

Uh... Sorry. It's just that...

You think you're funny?

You're dragging the dead into this?

How dare you disrespect my grandma?

What do you want from me?

I'm really sorry.

We all heard that you're selling Tahanan Homes.

It's none of your business if I sell this place or not.

I don't even know how you all put up with this dump.

This is our life.

We're happy as long as we're all together.

Let me guess.

You've lived here since you were a kid.

You're content here. This place matters to you.

You're happy here, right?

Your life must be so sad if this is all that makes you happy.

Don't you have anyone to take you out of this shithole?

Don't you have a boyfriend to move in with?

Oh, wait...

You don't have to answer that because obviously,

you don't have a boyfriend.

Who would even like you?

You're weird! You're annoying! And you're crazy!

Don't drag me into your miserable life!

Get out!

Wow.

You're late and you're taking an extended break.

Take your time, why don't you?

Take your sweet time.

Bro, I promise this is the last time.

Bro, I can't lend you money.

I don't want Tala and Boss Poyo on my case.

Sorry. I'm out.

Still warm.

Well, well, well…

I knew it.

We'll find that lowlife in this dumpster.

Find him.

Go! Go! Go!

Jolo! Yoo-hoo!

Jolo! Yoo-hoo!

I'm here!

Yoo-hoo!

Hey man, show yourself.

Stop hiding.

Boss Poyo's getting impatient.

If you don't pay, you'll pay with your life.

Jolo, you're pissing me off!

Show yourself!

Over there!

- Over there! - Get him!

I knew he was here!

Someone's making a scene!

Sir Jolo!

Sir Jolo?

- Sir Jolo! - Hello!

Are you stressed?

Sir Jolo, join us for drinks.

No, I'm okay.

Sir Jolo, we have food.

Sir, I think you need a shot.

Here, some gin. You'll love it.

- Drink up! - Yeah!

That's not dirty, sir.

It's good, Sir Jolo.

All right!

Love, your turn.

Nobody move!

What? Why?

Sis, what's happening?

The loan shark just passed by.

I still owe him money.

What? How much do you owe him?

Nida, those people are dangerous!

Those gangster types!

Ritchie had a friend who owed a loan shark!

What happened?

His friend couldn't pay the loan shark.

Got snatched in a white van, taken to a warehouse.

- What? - Tortured!

Had his nails pulled out one by one!

It must have been excruciating!

They dunked his head, hung him upside down,

then beat him up!

He even threw up blood!

Eww!

Then they cut his tummy open, spilled his guts out!

Eww!

Watch out, boss. Your favorite. Intestines.

If that were me,

I'd rather disappear forever!

Oh, so you want to disappear?

Then why don't you just make my big sister Sari fall in love?

Shh! Shut up! If your sister finds out you're spilling her secret,

you're dead tomorrow!

Sari? What about Sari?

She's cursed!

Boss, don't mind her. She's just drunk.

It's all drunk talk.

Cursed?

Yes! Every time she kisses a man she loves,

he disappears.

Bullshit.

Didn't she kiss Papa P on TV before?

Then bam! He vanished.

And all the other men, too.

- Gone. - What do you mean, gone?

As in, never seen again.

But they didn't die.

No blood, no disease, no bodies.

Just vanished into thin air.

And this stays between us, okay?

Sari doesn't fall in love anymore.

Maybe because she's afraid of getting hurt again, right?

MADAM TALA - PAY UP OR I'll KILL YOU!

BOSS POYO'S DONE BEING PATIENT! GO! PAY UP OR I'll KILL YOU! GO!

So if I were you, and you wanna escape your problems…

Make Sari fall in love with you!

Oh, hey.

Sari, right?

Good morning.

Game on, Jolo. You got this.

Hey, Sari!

Let me drive you.

Come here, quick!

You did an open music night, didn't you?

Sari!

Good morning, Sir Jolo! What's up?

Sir, are you okay?

Were you looking for Miss Sorry?

You like her, don't you?

Ahh, Baby, there you go again.

You're so observant!

Thank you!

Jolo, sorry about that.

Our little girl has no filter.

But I'm just curious, do you like her?

Why does it matter to you if I do?

Um, no offense, Sir Jolo,

but If I were Sari, I'd be a little scared.

You're not exactly giving Prince Charming.

Right now, it's giving Beast.

Right?

Hey, do you guys want a snack?

Wow! She's gonna treat us!

Okay, let's go. I'm game!

Wait, let me find my wallet.

Where did I put it?

Girls.

A handsome guy is looking this way.

You always say that for every guy.

But he really is good-looking!

- Look! - Here's looking this way.

Hi, Sari!

Come on, I'll drive you home.

What are you doing here?

Picking you up.

Picking me up? What's your deal?

Just the other day, you were saying those horrible things to me.

Now you're acting all nice.

You even said not to drag you into my misery.

- It's true, you're miserable. - Hey!

I'm sorry for what I said last time.

Friends?

Apology accepted, friendship denied.

Come on, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Sari!

He's not handsome. Not handsome.

Not handsome at all!

- He's ugly! - You think you're pretty?

Flowers for you.

Flowers for you.

And of course, Sari, flowers for you.

Take the flowers.

- You take it. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - She's just in a mood.

Sari.

- Three orders, please. - Your treat?

Can't get enough of this.

Miss, one kwek-kwek, please.

Oh, Sari! You're here, too.

Are you following me?

You're too assuming. What if I'm just craving for kwek-kwek?

I guess! Get some!

Sari, are you a kwek-kwek?

Because you make my heart beat kwekly like an earthkwek.

- Kwek-kwek! Get it? - Funny guy!

Here, have this kwek-kwek. You like it, huh?

Yeah!

Wow, you're so sweet!

Ah.

Jolo, are you gullible?

Huh?

You're just so easy to fool.

Yummy, right?

I'll go ahead. Take care, bye!

- Sari! - Hey!

Aren't you paying for this?

Thank God.

Oh! Sorry! Sorry!

- Sorry. - Hi, Sari…

You again?

- Sit here. - No thanks. I can stand on my own.

But it's nice when someone's there to catch you, right?

What?!

My tongue's on fire.

Spicy?

Spicy.

Serves you right.

Sari!

- Sari! Wait! - You'll never win!

Sari!

I'll win you over.

What does he want?

He wants you!

What are you staring at?

Shouldn't I be asking you that?

Oh no!

Really?

Overnight? Group study?

Lyka, you're such a liar.

Cookie?

Cookie?

Cookie?

Cookie!

Cookie!

Cookie!

Cookie!

Cookie?

Cookie?

Cookie? Cookie!

Cookie? Cookie!

Cookie! Cookie!

Cookie!

Cookie!

Cookie!

Sari?

Sari, what happened?

Sari…

I'm here now.

Cookie!

Please help Cookie!

She's stuck in the pipe!

Cookie! Cookie!

Cookie…

Cookie! Cookie!

Cookie!

Jolo?

There, there.

How can a tiny wound scare a guy with six-pack abs?

You even fainted earlier.

What was that about?

Look who's talking, you act brave,

yet you're afraid of the rain, thunder, and lightning.

You even hugged me.

And how did you know I have six-pack abs?

You've been staring, haven't you?

How could I not stare?

You keep showing them off.

Hold on.

Cover that up.

But hey…

Thanks for saving Cookie.

Thanks for saving me.

Not just tonight.

But also when I wanted to jump off that bridge.

Were you going to jump

- because... - Because my bride left me at the altar?

What?

I know you already know what happened.

I'm sure you've seen the viral video.

You've seen me at my lowest.

What else do I have to hide?

Ah…

How does it feel?

To be left at the altar? Of course, it hurts!

No.

To love with all your heart.

So much...

That you're willing to end your life

because of them?

Haven't you ever felt that?

Do you want to know how it feels?

Yeah.

How does it feel?

It feels…

Scary.

Love feels scary.

It's difficult.

It makes you look awful, it's stressful.

It turns you into a bad person.

It makes you an idiot.

Sometimes, you wake up and don't even recognize yourself.

But even after everything that happened to me,

if I ever get the chance to love again,

I just hope,

I find a love that never disappears.

Is there really a love like that?

The kind that never disappears?

The kind that won't leave you, no matter what happens?

I'm not sure anymore.

Because everyone I've loved left.

What about you?

Do you believe in that?

No. I'm good.

Because you're afraid of getting hurt?

Because I'm afraid of hurting someone.

I don't want to be the reason someone wants to disappear.

Life is too beautiful to give up on.

Thank you.

Thank you for being there that night.

Thanks for being here tonight, too.

You know, Grandma Remy was right.

About what?

That we'd get along.

That we could be friends.

So, what now?

Friends?

Friends.

- Friends. - Okay.

Friends? Just friends?

Besties?

Answer the question.

Are you only ever going to be friends?

Hey, could you put the bottles away?

- Yeah, returning them now. - Thanks.

Babe, I'll lay this out here to dry.

For when the sun's out.

Careful.

Jolo, good morning!

Hi, handsome!

Good morning!

Good morning, Mister Jolo!

Mik-mik!

Whoa!

Are you okay?

What happened, Mik-mik? You okay?

Jolo, thank you so much.

Good thing you're here.

There's so much to fix here in Tahanan.

If that isn't sorted out soon, someone else will get hurt for sure.

We planned to fix this place before.

Grandma Remy bought so many materials for it. Remember?

- Too bad. - I'll fix Tahanan.

- Huh? - Huh?

Don't worry, I got this.

Did I hear it right? He'll fix it?

Could we ask for a discount, sir?

Ah, sure. I'll get back to you.

What are you doing?

Helping you.

Sari, you don't have to...

Isn't it more fun to do things together?

As friends!

We're all your friends here.

So… ta-da!

- Surprise! - Surprise!

Okay.

Hey, Sari!

- That's heavy. Need help? - I'm okay.

You sure? Alright, be careful.

It's more fun to do things together, right?

As friends.

Thanks, friend.

You're welcome, friend.

- Sour shrimp soup! - Wow, freshly cooked!

Grandma Remy said this is your favorite.

Mik-mik, have some soup.

Wait, I thought the soup was supposed to be sour?

Then why is your smile so sweet, Sir Jolo?

Because, I really love this.

Mik-mik, have some broth. You good?

Sari's on the phone with her boss.

Bet he's yelling at her again.

- Boss, wait -Who's making you cry?

Jheng said it was your boss.

Want me to blast his knees?

He's such a jerk.

No one's allowed to make my friend cry.

I'm serious.

Very good.

I can finally eat.

I peeled them for you so your hands won't get dirty.

I bet Sari will get giddy like this every day.

Thanks.

Just the broth or...?

Love, do it for me!

Hey, Sari. Go easy on the shrimp!

Thank you, Ritchie.

Hey, careful with those bulbs.

Got it, Sir Jolo.

- Yay! - Yay!

I have something to say before we leave.

Congratulations to all of us.

Tahanan looks beautiful now.

So thank you.

- Yay! - Yay!

Congrats, friend.

Congrats too, friend.

What the...

You okay?

You're such a buzzkill, Ritchie!

He's wasted!

Good night!

- All right. Good night! - Good night, Bye!

Bye.

Sari, I'll walk you home.

No need. I'm good. I can handle myself.

Besides…

I didn't even drink.

No, let me walk you home. Can't be too sure.

Fine.

This is me.

Okay. Good night!

Good night.

Go on, get inside.

You first. There's my front door.

Exactly.

What if something happens to you on the way in?

I'm already here.

I'll watch you go inside first. Once I know you're safe...

- Alright. - Go on.

Where are you two going?

It's late.

I'm leaving, sis.

- Wait. - I'm going.

That doesn't look like an overnight bag.

Where are you going?

Sis.

I'm pregnant.

Sis…

Sis…

I'll take care of Lyka.

You are not leaving.

You! Get out of here!

- I'm not a child anymore. - I said get out!

Can't you just be happy for me?

You're gonna be an aunt!

An aunt?

What do you want me to do? Be happy?

Throw a party? Jump around?

You're both so young and still in school!

And you were gonna leave without telling me?

Who wouldn't get mad?

Truth is, you're mad because you'll be left alone again.

Watch your mouth.

You're mad because you'll never have what I have.

I don't want to be like you!

Miserable, lonely, and without anybody!

- Sari… - Sis…

Sari, wait!

Wow!

This is so good!

Sari, get down from there.

- Whoo! - Hey!

Why did I only try this now?

What the hell!

Get down from there.

Get down!

- Come down already. - What's your problem?

Sari.

I'm so glad you didn't leave me.

I don't really want to be alone.

But what choice do I have?

I'm cursed.

Everyone I love,

everyone I kiss,

disappears.

Even the person who gave me this curse…

…disappeared, too.

Because I loved that person.

Who?

My mother.

You know what she told me back then?

"My life became miserable because of you!"

- It's your fault your father left me! - My whole life, I believed that

I had no right to be happy.

Until the day she died,

She never forgave me.

Give me that.

So I just learned to live alone.

But just because I can, doesn't mean I want to.

You know, Lyka was right.

Maybe I'm mad because deep down, I know…

I'll never experience what she has now.

But I want to.

I want it so badly.

I want to know what it's like to hold someone's hand.

I want to know what it's like to have someone to travel with.

I want...

I want someone to share a meal with.

I want someone to sleep beside me every night.

I want to kiss and be kissed.

I want to have sex!

I want to get married!

I want to get pregnant! I want to have kids!

I really, really want a family.

I really, really want that.

I really, really want that.

I want to love and be loved.

A love that never disappears.

No matter what happens, he'll stay.

Sari, you deserve to be happy.

You also deserve to be happy, Jolo.

Because…

You make someone happy too.

Who?

Me.

Oh! It's midnight! It's my birthday!

- Happy birthday! - No. It's not your birthday yet.

Sari.

Sari!

We're both smiling now, Grandma.

Huh?

Cookie? Cookie, what did I do last night?

Cookie! Cookie, what did I say? What did I do?

Why am I dressed like this, Cookie?

Good morning.

Jolo!

- You're finally awake. - Nida!

I washed your clothes. They reeked of vomit.

I changed your clothes last night.

- You were a mess! - You?

- You? - Here.

Have some soup to help with your hangover.

Yes.

Thanks for taking care of me.

We just helped out.

It's Sir Jolo who stayed up all night to watch over you.

It was you?

Don't you remember what you said last night?

What did I say?

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday, Sari!

Is this for real?

Happy birthday, Sari.

I hope your birthday wish comes true.

Your wish to date Mister Jolo!

Wait, I said that?!

I'm gonna date you, Jolo!

Hey, everyone!

I'm gonna date Jolo!

Listen up!

I'm gonna date Jolo.

And when we become a couple, we're going to Korea!

And we'll stay in one room together!

Date Jolo!

Date him! Date him!

And I have one more surprise for you.

How lucky!

Come on!

You kept saying over and over last night,

that we should go to Korea together.

So here it is.

I'm making your wish come true.

- Hello! I am… - Huh?

- Thank you! - Kimchi?

- Fighting? - What are you even saying?

Just close your eyes.

Imagine we're in Seoul.

And we're eating

your favorite tteokbokki.

- Aaah! - Aaah?

Hmm.

This is fish ball!

No! That's tteokbokki!

Here, try again.

Okay. Aaah.

- Are you messing with me? - No. I swear.

Aaah.

Just imagine we're in Korea,

eating your favorite tteokbokki.

See it now?

Happy birthday, Sari and welcome to Seoul!

Imagine us strolling under the cherry blossoms.

Go on. Don't be shy.

Take pictures of everything you want.

Like what?

Um…

Of us.

Now…

Imagine that…

…all of this is real.

Sari?

Sari!

Sari.

This can't be.

- Sari! - This can't happen, Jolo.

What can't happen?

Sari! What's happening to you?

I'm telling you, this can't be!

Sari?

Sari!

Sari! Are you okay?

Sari.

I'm scared, Jolo.

Don't be scared, okay? I'm here.

I'm here now.

Jolo, this isn't possible.

I'm cursed. I was cursed.

Sari.

I'm not afraid of your curse.

I must confess...

I've known about your curse for a long time.

I told myself, I'd let you kiss me just so I could disappear.

I was so desperate to disappear at that time

because I thought my life had no meaning.

But then I met you.

And you gave me a reason to live.

Sari, you're an amazing person, and you just don't know it.

Jolo, please don't make this harder for me.

Because if you disappear too, I don't think I can bear it.

And I'm sure you'll disappear.

Because I'm already in love with you!

You didn't disappear?

You didn't disappear!

- You're still here. - I didn't disappear.

I'm right here.

I'll always be right here.

After all the men she kissed disappeared…

…if he's still here,

Does that mean the curse isn't real?

Positive.

Madam Tala was right.

This is where he's been hiding.

If Tala couldn't do it, then I will.

Jolo?

The renovations look solid.

With the new valuation,

you could clear all your debts and still walk away with something.

I just need your signature.

Jolo, you're carrying a lot of debt.

Don't tell me you're changing your mind.

Selling could put you out of trouble.

What's the holdup?

TAKE CARE. JOLO, WHERE ARE YOU?

The subscriber cannot be reached.

Please try again later.

Who's that?

Who are they?

What do they want?

It's late, why are you causing a scene?

Who are you?

I'm Boss Poyo.

I'm just claiming what's mine.

No! Tahanan belongs to us!

True!

Weren't you informed?

Hmm?

I'm the new owner of Tahanan Homes.

Jolo sold it to me.

No way.

Jolo would never do that to us.

Why?

Do you really know Jolo?

Boys. Get to it.

Hey! Wait.

- Wait! - Mister, stop it!

Hey!

Stop it!

Please stop!

Nida.

Rom, what happened here?

Where's Sari?

Sir Jolo, some men barged in here.

They're claiming Tahanan.

They said you sold it to them.

What was his name again?

Boss...

- Boss... - Poyo?

You know him?

So what he's saying is true?

You used Tahanan to pay off your debt?

- You sold it? - No!

You had this place renovated just to sell it for a higher price!

- Jheng, it's not like that. - Not like that?

Where were you when we were being attacked?

You're usually here, but you disappeared when they came to collect.

How convenient!

You used us.

Unbelievable.

Sari.

You're a user. What would your Grandma say?

Sari, please.

Is it true?

- Sari... - Jolo, is it true?

Did you really sell us out?

Yes.

I considered selling Tahanan.

Not because I wanted to.

But because I had to.

Before I moved here, I was drowning in problems.

Yes.

I know Boss Poyo.

Yes, I owe them money.

An impossible amount.

And I had no idea how I was going to pay it back.

I was so desperate at that time!

I thought if I sold Tahanan,

I could pay off all my debts. All of it would be solved.

That it was going to be quick.

Easy.

Painless.

And yes, I admit that I was planning to sell it,

but I wish you'd believe me now

when I say I didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

And the reason I wasn't here earlier...

The reason I was gone was because I was trying to fix this.

Please believe me.

Sari.

Sari.

Sari, wait.

Sari!

Sari! Sari.

Sari, you believe me, don't you?

Sari, I didn't go through with selling Tahanan.

Because you've all become important to me.

Especially you, Sari.

Why did you hide this from us?

From me?

Sari, it's because…

…because I'm a coward.

I was scared that if you knew all of this...

All my weaknesses,

all my failures,

you'd stop loving me.

Sari, I was scared that…

…that I'd lose you like everyone I've lost before.

Is that why…

Is that why you chose to just disappear?

Because that was easier.

Quick.

Easy.

Painless.

That's what you said, right?

Jolo…

Is it harder to trust my love?

Sari, just...

Just give me this one chance, okay?

I'll fix everything, just trust me.

I promise, I'm fixing this.

Just believe me.

Jolo… Jolo, please.

I'm scared.

You're here now.

But I don't know if you'll still be here tomorrow.

Sari, no.

Come on, I'm here.

I'm right in front of you. I'm here and I love you.

I love you and I'm not going anywhere.

Isn't my love enough to take away your fears?

Let me guess.

You're in trouble again.

You disappear without a word.

Then you show up only when...

When I'm in trouble.

I always disappoint you, Dad.

I always fail you.

And you know what, Dad?

You're right.

I am a disappointment.

I am a failure.

I let everyone down.

That's why I choose to be alone.

But Dad, just because I can doesn't mean I want to.

Jolo,

you're my son.

I love you.

No matter how many times you fail, I'll accept you.

Son…

Let me help you.

It's alright.

Sis, I'm leaving.

Wait.

Here.

It's for you and Carlo.

And for my godchild, too.

Sis?

I'm sorry.

Sorry, okay?

Honestly,

I just didn't want to be a burden to you.

I'm sorry for everything I said.

You know what...

Everything you said,

they're all true.

It's true that…

I'm scared to be alone.

But you'll never be alone.

Because so many people love you.

And I'm one of them, sis.

I love you so much.

You know, sis…

All I want is to see you happy.

So please,

let yourself be happy, too.

I love you, sis.

Come here.

We all have fears. That's normal.

But sometimes, the first step to overcoming them

is realizing that you're not alone.

Andeng! Andeng, close the gate!

Hurry!

Quickly! Get inside!

Get inside! Let's go!

You jerks!

Tahanan Homes is ours! Right?

- Right! - Right!

I'm here to kick you out.

Go. Go. Go!

- Fight! - Fight!

Just a sec. This is important.

We're here at Tahanan...

Hmm.

- Sis! - Call the police!

Ouch.

Boss Poyo!

I'm the one you want!

Jolo?

I'm the one who owes you, right?

Why drag them into this?

Don't be a hero, Jolo.

All smiles when you need money.

When it's time to pay, you bare your teeth.

I've waited for too long, boy.

I need interest.

So this dump?

It's mine now.

Tahanan belongs to us!

Sari!

Sari!

Let's stabilize the patient.

Start a line.

Code blue.

Start chest compressions.

Let's give him oxygen. Start bagging.

I'm sorry, ma'am, this way please.

Lord, why?

Why?

My whole life, I've accepted that I'd grow old and die alone.

But then you brought Jolo to me.

So why take him away?

Why?

Is it because I loved him?

I'm tired of blaming myself

for everything I've lost.

I don't want this anymore.

I don't want to be afraid anymore.

If he's not meant for me,

if I'm really meant to grow old alone,

I'll accept it.

But I beg you, Lord.

Let him live.

Jolo?

If you let him live, I'll tell him how much I love him.

That because of him, I'm no longer afraid.

I'm ready.

I'm finally brave.

Because fear…

…has no place…

…in love.

After the tenants won the battle of Tahanan Homes,

their lives finally got better in their forever home.

Nida is now the number one live seller.

Bruno is now a professional macho dancer.

The only thing Jheng and Ritchie fight about these days

is who loves the other more.

Rom and Jesse? Full support for Mik-mik's schooling.

Because she's a truly talented little lady!

She's not there anymore, remember?

- You'll be late! - Yeah, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Your hair is a mess!

Have you heard the news?

- The guys Sari kissed... - I just needed to find myself.

Turns out, they never really disappeared.

Some went abroad, some turned to God,

but no one really disappeared because the curse wasn't real.

I promise I will never, ever disappear again.

Excuse me.

We just have a question.

Everything went back to normal,

while Sari

still visits the place where they first met, every day.

The place where she felt sadness, joy, and love.

A love that never fades.

Hey, look. Check this out, love.

Oh! Can I touch it?

Oh, sure, sure.

So cute!

Me? I'm cute?

- Cute? In your dreams! - You know?

You two are perfect for each other.

Sari isn't afraid of the rain anymore.

She's learned to be brave.

No lightning, thunder, or storm can make her cry again.

Especially now…

…that she's not alone anymore.

We're also perfect for each other.

Where were you anyway? I've been waiting for you.

I wasn't even gone for that long.

You miss me already?

Of course!

Well, I'm here now, and

I'm.

Not.

Going.

Anywhere.

Promise?

Just like Jolo promised, he never left.

He didn't disappear.

- You're not going to disappear, right? - Promise.

- Promise? - Promise.

- No, really. - No.

Wait. Really?

- Promise. - Okay.

Sari isn't heartbroken anymore.

And Jolo isn't alone anymore.

What about me?

When will I find "The One"?

Hey, all you singles out there…

How about it?

Yay! I now have a boyfriend!

Whoo!

Is the scene over?

- Not yet? - Not yet.

Not yet. Ah, one more take!

We'll end up together after this!
