Sorry. Sorry.

Really now?

So serious...

Like what you see?

Hey, aren't you buying this?

lt's too expensive.

Not bad. It's worth it if you really want it.

Why don't you get it?

Come on, l know you want it.

You can't do that!

lt's only illegal if you get caught.

You're welcome.

JD, your partner in crime.

And you're?

Just a second.

Yes mom.

l'm on my way. Yup.

So-

Yes Mom, l'm on my way.

Hello again.

You didn't get the book you want?

Why didn't you get it?

You can't always get what you want.

l disagree.

You can always get what you want.

l'll buy you that book...

if you have coffee with me.

Come on.

lt's just a few steps away.

lt's raining anyway.

lt'll stop.

Let's make a deal.

lf the rain doesn't stop after l count to ten...

you'll have coffee with me.

My treat.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Six...

Seven, oh my god it's still raining...

Nine-

You can't always get what you want.

Sir Eric is here.

- Good morning, Sir. - Good morning.

This way to backstage, Sir.

No, it's okay. l'll just stay at the back.

This way, Sir.

lt's been 27 years since my father-in-law...

Don Jaime Lobregat put up Liberty Telecom.

Eric!

- Auntie. - Your mom's been looking for you.

leader o1 the industry...

because o1 our employees' commitment to exce))ence.

And o1 course your continued 1aith and con_dence in us.

So to all of you, thank you very much.

Now, we're ready for your questions.

Your son Henry was deputy CEO of Liberty Telecom...

and Liberty Air be1ore he passed away two years ago.

What's your succession plan now for these two companies?

Right now, there's no plan.

l plan to live forever.

) wi)) never retire.

l'm still young, you know?

l'm only turning 25 ne_ month.

Rea))y!

You can ask my 24-year-old beautiful wife.

Which is it?

Dark-skinned or fair-skinned?

Dark-skinned, right?

So long as he's human.

Sari, l have to go.

Please take care of Mr. Domingo's trousers.

- l will. - Alright, bye.

Slim or chubby?

Doesn't matter.

So it's okay if he's a bit on the heavy side?

So long as he's as cute as you, Mamon !

Jackpot!

He looks just like me!

Oops!

Uhh, Ms. Sari...

Do you believe that age doesn't matter, right?

Huh?

Don't feel bad.

You're still young. You'll get over me.

Never!

You're the one l want to marry!

Whatever happened to courtship?

But all roads lead to the church anyway.

And l promise Ms. Sari, l will never leave you.

l will never make you cry...

the way my father does to my mother.

l might be the one to make you cry, Mamon.

Why do you say that?

l'm not easy to love.

Let's go home, Mamon.

You can date her when you grow a neck!

- Joke! - Mom!

l'm falling in love with you, Eric.

Let's not complicate our lives, Carly.

So...

take a shower and go home.

Stay out of this, Mom! She's out of line!

- And you're being a smart ass! - ...going out without permission.

- Give me the baby. - l'm just telling the truth !

Do you know the truth?!

- What?! - You're lucky, you're in college!

Going out without permission.

Your brother finished only up to high school.

Stop it you two!

Why? Going out without permission !

Go! Stand in the corner!

Why?

Going out without permission.

Going out without permission.

Stand in the corner...

Ms. Andres, l'm sorry.

- l'm very sorry. - It's alright, Grandma.

Let's go.

How long have you been a nurse, child?

l'm not a nurse. l'm a seamstress.

Seamstress?

My son, Pablo, was a tailor.

And my granddaughter, Sari...

she's a seamstress too.

You see this?

She made a thousand suits just to pay for my surgery.

She's very kind, pretty and timid.

But don't tell anyone. It's just between us two.

You should go to sleep now, Grandma. You have to rest.

How was your exam? Did you answer all the questions?

Of course auntie.

l hope l get a perfect score so l'll have a medal.

Guia! Pack all your things.

Yes, uncle.

Let the kids prepare their food themselves.

They know how to do it.

Joey! Pack your own lunch.

Yes, dad. In a while.

You should get dressed. The kids are running late.

Why are you still here? The kids will be late for school.

They won't!

Sari, can you take care of the electric bill?

l used up all my money for your sister's ultrasound.

- l hope it's okay. - It's all right, brother.

Thank you.

Mom, can you pay the electric bill?

Abby will get off late from school.

Class? Yes, all class dismissed!

- All class out! Dismissed! - Okay, l'll do it...

before heading to Laguna.

Laguna?

Why are you going to Laguna?

Are you going to visit Marian?

Pablo, you know l don't like that woman.

) hate her!

Why are you going to Laguna?

lt's Jerry.

Won't his wife mind that you're visiting your boyfriend?

Jerry passed away.

He was buried last week.

Buried? Are you dead?

Can you lend me 5OO pesos?

For my fare...

Don't worry.

- l'll pay you once l get to France- - l'm not asking you to.

Even so.

l owe you and your siblings too much.

- Just 5OO pesos. - You should visit my father's grave too.

Have it cleaned and bring him flowers.

Bring the kids too if you like.

Might make him happy.

l'll go ahead.

Thank you.

- Be a good girl. - Yes, Ma'am. Bye.

l don't know why we're doing this, JD.

This is just a small project.

l agree, this is small time.

But if we impress Mr. Almonte's tailor...

l'm sure he'll give us the 100 million-peso project in Palawan.

And that's big time, dude!

That's a weird strategy.

You have a weird client.

Who takes business advice from his tailor?

Brian, if there's one thing l learned from working for Liberty Telecom...

it's all a game.

How long has Mr. Almonte been a client?

l made his first suit in 19_.

) was a master cutter then.

My father was his tailor.

Gentlemen, please take your seat.

My wife and l renewed our vows ten years ago.

lt was held in Mr. Almonte's hotel. He paid for everything.

Robert is a kind man.

Why do you want to renovate your shop, sir?

Emil!

Emi)!

You said your female cutter is good!

The measurement is off! This is so loose!

Sir, if l made it any tighter, you'll look like a sausage.

l am paying good money 1or this suit.

l want you to dothis! And not your amateur cutter!

Don1 worry Mr. Zarate, we'll _x it.

Sari.

Excuse me gentlemen. This will just take a second.

What's with the head to foot thing, huh?

You've done that twice.

Checking me out from head to foot.

When a woman Iooks at me that way...

she usually wants to undress me.

You?

What's the first thing you'll take off me?

Your pants.

Really?

Yes, so l can fix them.

The cut is not right.

Gives you big thighs. Makes you look shorter.

Okay.

Sari.

Sari.

Finally!

l spent a whole week trying to guess your name.

Wanna have coffee?

l wanna have coffee with you.

l remember you told me that...

l can't always get what l want.

But you know Sari, l'm not giving up.

Have coffee with me.

Sorry.

But please.

Hello.

Seriously?

No, no. Fine. Brian and l are on our way back.

- You can't always get- - l get what l want.

Because l want it.

l really do.

Dude!

Emergency meeting at the office.

- Chief is arriving in an hour. - l know. l know.

- Hi, l'm Brian! - Let's go!

lt will rain tomorrow.

Tomorrow, l'll get what l want.

A prayer? For what?

For us to meet again?

Ahh, l want that.

Rain ! Come on !

You look happy.

You have a new girlfriend?

l know you.

When you're in love you can't put your phone down.

- Really? - Yes!

She's not my girlfriend.

Not yet.

- How are you? - l'm well. Thank you.

Does it have to be a national holiday for you to come see me.

l miss you son. l hardly see you.

Mom, we were together just last week at the Stockholder's meeting.

Yes, but you didn't stay long.

Ne_ time Eric, l want you to wear a suit, okay?

l don't want the stockholders to forget that you're ne_ in line...

and not Alex Pineda. You are a Lobregat.

ls that why you wanted to see me today, Mom?

Your dad wants to make you a Deputy CEO.

That's what you want. Not what he wants.

Eric...

Mom, l tried working in your company before...

and l resigned.

Why? Because l couldn't get along with your husband.

Your dad is a good man.

Besides, the company is part of who you are.

lt's your legacy.

Come on, Mom. Legacy?

Why can't you accept that l'm happy where l am now?

l'm an architect, not a businessman.

That's bull and you know it, Eric.

You were born to follow the footsteps of your dad and your grandpa.

Mom...

we both know that if Henry is still alive...

we wouldn't even be having this stupid conversation.

But your brother is not here anymore.

You're the only son l have left.

- Good morning, Architect! - Good morning.

Master Emil is not yet here. Olga, Sir JD's here.

- That's okay. - Okay. Sir, thank you.

- Where's Sari? - Sorry, sir. It's Thursday.

So?

Sari's off on Thursdays.

Where is she?

lt's loose? Where?

Where can l find her?

Daddy, bye!

A)right!

See you ne_ week!

Daddy, bring us something from Hong Kong.

- Bye! - Bye!

Sari !

Hi!

What took you so long?

l was reading.

Really. Did you finish the book?

- Not yet. - Why not?

lt's difficult to understand.

- What's so difficult about it? - Do l really have to read it?

Of course!

Because you are going to put up your own business.

Rico, l don't want to.

The last time l spoke to Emil...

he told me you've improved a lot.

ln fact, you're the best cutter he has ever trained.

You can already open your own tailoring shop.

l can't.

lf you can't do it on your own...

we can be partners.

No.

- l can give you capital. - No need.

- l'll lend it to you. - l told you no.

Why are you always refusing my help?

Because you've given me and my family so much already.

- Sweetheart. - l can 't leave Master Emil.

That's why l wanted you to read that book.

So you could lose that third-world attitude!

- You're getting mad again. - l'm not mad.

Don't be mad. l cooked your favorite fish stew...

and paella.

Did you marinate the cod fish?

Yes, overnight. l wouldn't want you to scold me again.

ls that ajoke?

You got me.

How did the stockholders meeting go?

Well, everyone is so worried because l'm retiring in two years.

You know, l wouldn't have this problem if Henry, my boy, hadn't died.

But you have another son, right?

- What's his name again? - You mean Eric?

Well, Eric is complicated.

We don't really get along.

- But he's still your son. - The boy hates me.

Let's not talk about my family.

This is our day so tonight is about us.

That's a good book.

Exciting.

Best coffee in the world.

My gosh.

You are so beautiful.

Do you know that?

You really don't have a boyfriend?

l don't. But someone's interested.

l want to meet him. Let's size him up.

No need. l turned him down.

Right away? Why?

Very big age difference.

lt's the same for us.

How old is he anyway?

Eight. It's Mamon.

But seriously...

lf you want to entertain suitors...

Make sure they're not senior citizens like me.

Why do you always say that?

Because you deserve someone better.

Let's go to bed.

- Where's mom? - Sir, she's downstairs.

Mom.

Eric!

Eric, you came!

You came because you love your mom, right?

- You want a drink? - What the hell happened, Mom?

lt's Thursday!

lt's the one day of the week that makes me want to regret everything!

Just everything.

He's with her, you know.

Every fucking Thursday.

- Fucking every Thursday! - What?

What's new, Mom?

What's new?

What's new is this woman named Rosario Alfonso.

Now you have a name.

Yes, l've got a name.

Such a heavenly name.

But that slut will burn in hell!

You know l spoke to Attorney Villanuevajust today.

You know what he told me?

He said that your dad is leaving this woman ten million in his will.

Ten million !

He can't do that right! He just can't do that to me!

l know. We'll just contest that will, okay?

Right? You and me?

You know, when l married your dad, he was poor. He didn't have any money.

l made him! My dad made him!

Why is he doing this to me, son?

Why don't you just end it?

So you'll stop hurting.

l can't.

When l married him, l promised for better or worse.

l love him.

Why is he doing this to me, son?

He keeps doing that to you, because you keep forgiving him.

He already had a string of mistresses the first year of marriage.

You're right! That's true!

But you know what, he always came back.

He would go but then he would come back.

Even when l made a mistake...

One day you're gonna love some woman so much...

that you'll be willing to forgive her anything and everything.

l have been a good mother and wi1e.

- My God, Mom... - ) have been...

a good mother and wi1e, yes?

Don't leave me, Eric.

l have a secret to tell you.

lt's a secret. Don't tell anybody.

Don't hate me for it, okay?

l'm sorry. What have l done?

My head hurts.

Have l not suffered enough?

Have l not paid for my sins? Why can't he forgive me, Eric?

Why?

Because you slept with another man...

and worse you had a son.

And everyday, l remind him of your sin.

Eric, did you say something?

l love you, Mom.

That came with hot coffee and a really sweet smile.

''Sari,''

''Because you want it, and because l want to give it to you.''

''From your partner in crime.''

Girl, if he courts you, say yes right away!

- l'll see you later, Alex. - Yes, Sir.

Did you come to ask for your job back?

No.

Because you know...

if you want it you can have it back.

After Henry died...

Mom asked me to work for you again.

And ) said yes.

But you said you didn't need me.

After all l can never be as good as my brother.

l was grieving.

So was l.

When he was sti)) a)ive...

you made me feel that l never even existed.

When he died, you wanted me to die with him.

Come on, Eric! Grow up!

l need a deputy CEO.

l need you to lead this company.

Me?! Lead your company?!

You told me to my face that l don't have any talent for business!

l was angry.

For God's sake, Eric!

l'll never work for you again.

l'm never giving you the pleasure...

of calling me a loser every single day again.

- You never fail to disappoint me. - Oh, l live to disappoint you...

Father.

lt's my greatest joy.

You're so arrogant.

What did you expect?

You raised me.

l didn't raise you to turn your back on me when l needed you the most!

You ungrateful boy!

You're turning your back on the family...

and the company that fed and sent you to school...

just because of your stupid pride!

What do you want?

You want me to get down on my knees and beg you to come back?

What kind of a son are you?

The kind that doesn't want you for a father!

Shit!

Shit!

Shit!

Hello, Brian?

- JD! - Brian, let's go.

Yes, sir. Where are you?

The shop's closing at 8PM.

Master Emil and Sari are waiting for you.

l can't do it, Brian.

Take me out of the project.

Huh?

You're the one who came up with this weird plan...

so don't tell me you can't do it!

Bri, l have to go back to Liberty Telecom.

When you get back to your 1amily business...

then you can walk away mom this project!

But right now, you're still the architect of this project.

So get your ass over there and do your job!

l hope one day, l can go to Saville Row.

The world's best master cutters work there.

Where is that place?

ln UK.

- Save up for your fare, Mamon. - Take Sari out on a date there.

l'm really serious about you, Ms. Sari.

Mamon...

Don't you like me?

Whom do you like?

Someone o)d.

- JD. - As old as you?

lf you want a suit made, please go downstairs.

No, Mamon. He's JD.

He's the architect who will renovate this building.

Oh, it's you.

You're the one who gave this book and the cold coffee?

Mamon Cruz.

Are you really named Mamon?

Are you really named JD?

What does JD mean?

lt's a shortcut of my father's name.

Shortcut? JD? Junior of Daddy?

You could say that.

How about you? Where did your name come from?

Ramonsito. l'm also my dad's junior.

There you go. Your abs are really full!

Do your homework.

l hope Architect courts Sari.

l hope so too, so she can stop being with that old man.

There you go again.

That's just plain gossip. Sari's not that kind of woman.

Gossip? It's been going on for five years and you're still in denial?

Oh come on.

l'm sorry.

What time did Master leave?

Around 4PM.

- Sorry l'm not good at explaining... - No, it's okay.

l just want to know how you use this space,

the flow of traffic.

Well, our customers stay here most of the time.

They usually make small talk first, before they tell us what they want.

The senior citizens, most especially.

- They're looking for someone to listen- - So, you always entertain older men?

Yes, most of our clients are older gentlemen.

Old and rich.

Yes, many o1them.

Aftertheyte)) us the design thatthey want,

they choose the 1abric.

Here are the swatches. Here are the fabrics.

- You have many elderly suitors? - What?

l suppose the patterns are made here.

Yes, but before making a pattern, we have to take measurements.

Let's go to the fitting room.

Are you okay?

You seem upset.

What's the matter?

No, l'm good.

So what happens here?

ln our shop, we take measurement privately.

Many clients are embarrassed when other people know their measurements.

ln here, whatever you don't like about yourself...

is just between you and your master cutter.

So how do you do your job?

Would you like a demonstration?

Sure. Make me a suit.

You?

l want to know how good you are.

Okay, l'll just get my things.

lsn1 thisjob 1or men?

Yes.

Women cutters are rare.

Yes.

My father was a tailor.

l grew up exposed to this.

Does he work here?

He used to.

He was Master Emil's favorite.

l was 14 when he died.

He got run over.

That's why you're close with Master...

Yes.

Master Emil?

He and his wife treated me like one of their own.

l learned everything l know from him.

From him, and another man who saw my potential.

He trusted me to cut and sew his suit.

That was my first suit as a master cutter.

Who is this man?

l'll measure the inseam now.

Should l go on?

Measuring that?

Twenty-five.

And a half.

You know?

You know, l think l've had enough.

There's this dinner l need to go to.

l have to go.

JD!

Thanks for the book and the coffee!

l didn1 raise you to turn your back on me when l needed you the most!

You ungrate_l boy!

What do you want?

You want me to get down on my knees and beg you to come back?

What kind of a son are you!

The kind that doesn't want you for a father!

You're wasting my time.

- Leave. - No, you leave.

Leave my mother and end her misery.

You really think your mother would want me to leave her?

Leave your mistress then !

Don't tell me what to do.

lsn't adultery a big enough insult to your wife?

Now you're leaving money for your mistress!

Have you no shame?

- Careful with your words- - l don't care!

l'm just telling the truth !

Who's your mistress anyway?

Another gold-digging beauty queen?

Tell me!

Who's your newest whore?

You really want to know? Fine!

She is Rosario Alfonso.

Sari.

She makes my suits and she's a decent woman.

And unlike you,

she knows the meaning o1 gratitude and loyalty to 1amily.

The ne_ time you call her a whore,

l'm gonna hurt you so bad...

you're not going to be able to say these things ever again !

Get out o1 my omce!

Now l know why you can't do it.

Of all the women...

So Architect had a suit made. Do it well.

l will.

Leave it there.

- Thank you. - My team is studying your proposal.

- Thank you. - We'll give you an answer by ne_ week.

Okay Tom, bye.

What's this?

This my dear, is your gift to me.

Don't worry, Rico.

This is much cheaper than what you plan to leave your mistress.

Who's the artist?

Juancho Diego?

lt's an Imao... son of the National Artist.

Why can't you forgive me, Rico?

You cheated on me first.

And you haven't stopped cheating on me since then.

- While l did it only once. -Just once. But you loved him.

And you never loved your women?

- Never! - What about this one?

l guess l'll have to get you another painting.

Perfect fit!

lt's different when you do it, Master. The droop is smooth !

Thanks.

By the way, l need a new Barong Tagalog.

l'm attending a wedding in Tuguegarao.

- You remember Mila? - Mila...

Mila Tendido? The Regional Director of Tourism there?

Yes.

- Excuse me. - She asked about you the last time we met.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

- Sir, we can elevate this by O.3m. - Okay, we can start here.

Good morning, Architect! Engineer is inside.

You can choose from these.

Sir...

Leave us, please.

l thought you said you are out of this project?

No, l made some revisions on the layout that l did before, look at it.

Let's go over it with Master Emil.

How long will all the repairs take?

lf you stop all operations, it will take 3-4 months.

ls that so?

That )ong?

The longer it is. The more costly it becomes.

Okay, l'll think about renting a place while you renovate this.

Architect, since you're here, why don't you try your suit on?

Sari...

You're a mistress.

What?

Mistress. Wardrobe mistress.

That's what they call female master cutters.

l read that in the book l gave you.

Ahh...

Why aren't you here on Thursdays.

- It's my day-off. - It's your day-off?

So we can have coffee and dinner tomorrow.

- l can't. - Do you have a boyfriend?

Will someone get mad if we go out tomorrow?

l'm getting tired of this!

l'm getting tired of flirting with you...

l like you. You like me.

l want to go out with you. What's the problem?

Why can't l get what l want?

Ow! Shit!

Hello?

What? Grandma's missing?

Did you call Mrs. Conching?

Call her! Do l have to tell you everything?!

Call me when you find her!

Oh my God...

Stop the train !

- Stop the train ! - Wait! Stop!

Grandma!

- Stop the train ! - Grandma...

Grandma, you scared me!

You had me worried!

l was waiting for Mario!

- The war is over! - Grandma!

- Color? - Red.

- R... E... D. - Number?

Three!

- Your crush also has a crush on you ! - That's so cheesy!

Kids, stop pestering JD.

l hope they're not annoying you.

- Uncle JD, look at my dress. - Wow, that's pretty.

- Is he your boyfriend? - No.

ls he courting you?

Does he like you?

l won't get married, mom.

- Let me! Let me! - Wait. Here's what we should do.

Ask Aunt Sari who should perform first. Go!

- Aunt Sari... Aunt Sari! - Pick me! Me! Me!

Eenie, meenie, minie moe! Who will be the first to go?

Me! Me!

You ended up staying late.

The kids were quite a hand_l.

- l'm sorry. - No. It's okay.

l'm sorry.

What l did at the shop... was borderline harassment.

Stupid...

Really stupid. l'm really sorry.

Thank you for your help. Thank you.

lt was nothing.

You really love your Grandma, right?

So much.

She raised us while my mom worked abroad.

She took care of us when my father died.

My mother never came back for us.

She ran away with her coworker in france.

Grandma raised us all on a public school teacher's meager salary.

We all finished high school.

l'd love to go out with you tomorrow.

But l already promised my Thursdays to someone else.

l owe him my grandmother's li1e.

He's forcing you to pay your debt?

He never asked me to pay him back.

So when he asked for my Thursdays,

l gave them freely.

ls he married?

Yes.

lt's sad, JD...

You learned all these even before we could have coffee.

Hurry! You'll be late for school.

- Watch your step! - What's taking you so long?

Get in now, hurry!

Are you sure you're free today?

Yes.

You must be so curious about my Thursdays.

l can't deny that. But l'm surprised you said yes.

l'm just as surprised.

Perhaps after last night...

l just felt so tired having this... secret life.

l have been a liar for five years, JD.

Yesterday was the first time l wasn't afraid to be honest.

With you.

Come in.

Rico was the first client who trusted me with his suit.

Sit down.

You said you've been together five years?

Yes.

This house must be around 2 or 3 years, right?

Yes. We've been here for 2 years.

We stayed in a condominium in Roxas Boulevard before.

l didn't like it there. You know, lots of people.

So he bought this house for you.

No. He bought this for us.

Have you asked for the title?

l'm sorry.

l already have a place to live in.

l don't need another house.

Two years ago his eldest son died.

He didn't want to go home because he couldn't cry to his wife.

His other son went abroad...

He was angry at him.

He fe)t a)one.

He needed someone to mourn with him.

And ) wasthere.

You know about his family?

Not really.

We only talk about them when he wants to.

l can't ask. That's one of the rules.

Rules?

ls that the kind of relationship you have?

Governed by rules?

Why does it sound awful when you say it?

Like something's wrong.

But l don't feel that way.

- Rico is kind to me. - And he's smart.

First, he tied you down to a debt of gratitude.

Then he imprisoned you in his loneliness.

He's using you and abusing your kindness.

Rico is a good man, JD.

l just think you deserve better, Sari.

l'll go ahead.

Dude, you're a masochist.

l thought you wanted to be away from her.

l have to save her, dude.

Are you for real?

Save her from what?

From Rico Torres.

Her life will be wasted on that man.

And with you, it's going to be different?

JD, don't tell me you just wanted to free her from your dad.

You want her to love you.

You want her to choose you instead.

Have you ever been in love Bri?

You're just going to get hurt.

Back out while you still can.

l think it's too late for that.

You again?

You're the king of bad timing. We're about to close-

Forgive my son, Architect. He's really ajoker.

Brian's gone. You're still here?

lt's raining. The taxi's here. Let's avoid the traffic.

- We'll go ahead, Architect. Let's go. - Take care!

You look like models for a toothpaste. Your smiles are priceless.

Bye...

Can l give you a ride home?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

l will court you.

- JD, you know that- - Yup, l know.

There's a Mr. Thursday.

So what?

l'll be Mr. Monday...

Tuesday... Wednesday...

Friday...

Saturday... Sunday!

And then there'll be one Thursday...

that you will miss.

And you will tell yourself,

''l wish JD could be my Mr. Everyday.''

You're cornier than Mamon.

Ouch !

Let's go out tomorrow.

Sorry, l can't.

l'm not giving up, you know.

Good night.

Good night, Sari.

l can't take you out, right?

Then let's have our date here.

l'm not giving up until l'm Mr. Everyday.

ln fact, l brought food for everyone.

Since we have a lot of chaperones on this date.

You've got competition, Mamon.

Mr. Arthur, your hot coffee is ready.

Yes Sir, definitely! Definitely!

This tastes better and is more nutritious.

l won first place, Ms. Sari.

You're so cute in your Barong Tagalog.

Seven times seven?

Forty-nine!

- Correct! - Yes!

Just wait! We'll beat you.

lf we win, we will take everything you have.

Sure! But if we win, you'll kiss me.

No way! Are you crazy? Why will l do that?

Okay. Sorry... Sorry.

Grandmother, the game is over. We won.

- No! - Alright. Fine!

You will kiss me?

l said alright! Game!

Seven times nine...

Plus three times four...

Minus six plus two...

All over si_y seven...

Equals...

One.

One!

- Correct! - Yes!

- Kiss! Kiss! - We had a deal!

A deal is a deal.

- Okay! - Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

- l said okay! - Okay.

Stand in the corner!

Kissing without permission !

Stand in the corner!

Kissing without permission !

Oh my God! Are you implying l'm fat?

- The truth is your measurements are off! - Please don't act like you own the shop!

- We'll be in trouble! - l don't care!

He can't treat Sari that way!

Take responsibility for your incompetence!

- Tell Emil. Tell him! - Hey! Hey!

What do you want?

You pig face!

- Do you want water? - No!

- Softdrinks, sir! - No!

- Coffee? You want coffee? - Coffee?

Hey, don't run. Move slowly.

Be careful.

Best coffee in the world.

Yeah right. It's just instant coffee.

You've had three cups already. That's enough.

Let's go. Hey, give me that.

Let's go home. The kids have homework.

You talk as if we're already married.

Married? You wish !

Seven hours...

l still have seven hours until Thursday.

What?

What?

Have l told you how much l hate Thursdays?

You know what ) can do...

that your Mr. Thursday can't?

l can marry you, Sari.

And you won't have to share me with anyone.

But you will have to share me...

With him, with her with all of them who depen'd on me.

l will not leave them the way our mom just left us.

So, do you still want to marry me?

You'll have a lot to consider.

A lot to worry about.

You've just given me more reason to love you.

Let's pretend that ring is real.

Of course, it can't be real.

Close your eyes.

Go ahead. Come on. Close your eyes. This will be good.

Come on close your eyes. Indulge me.

lmagine us married.

We live in a house that l designed...

Has to be a big house.

- We'd all have to fit in there. - Of course.

Grandma will have her own room at the ground floor.

l like that. She won't have to use the stairs.

And the two of us... we'll be at the second floor.

We'll have three... no, four kids.

- Four? Four kids? What? - Let's make it five.

Five? That's too many!

Can we really afford to send five kids to school?

l'll take care of that, don't worry.

Just close your eyes. There.

Every morning our kids will see me go to work...

Wearing my favorite suit which you made for me.

And every morning,

you won't let me leave the house until you've kissed me and told me...

''l love you JD.''

l love you Sari.

And that is not pretend.

l'm not expecting you to say it back.

l just want you to know that l love you.

Sir, this is for the _e)d _oor and this is for the accent _oor.

ls this alright?

Yes, dude. Let's keep it neutral.

Sari? You called?

Hi.

ls this the Thursday l have been waiting for?

What?

The Thursday when you'll finally tell me you want me to be Mr. Everyday.

No. l just wanted to ask when you'll go to the shop.

So, you miss me.

Your suit is finished. When will you pick it up?

So you won't miss me too much, tomorrow.

l'll be there tomorrow.

- Alright. Bye. - Bye Sari.

Bro.

She's worth it, Bri. She's worth it.

How's your suitor?

Relentless.

Be gentle with the boy.

Remember, you're his _rst love. He could get hurt.

l doubt it. l think JD has had several girlfriends.

JD?

l thought Mamon is your only admirer.

And who is this JD?

How long has he been courting you?

Be honest. Do you like him?

Can l like him?

Let me know when he becomes your boyfriend.

You know what Sari,

l just realized l cannot share you with any man.

Sari?

Dine out? Why?

Rico, that's a Monday, not a Thursday.

Sari.

l still have a client.

Sari...

l love it, Sari.

l can wear this everyday.

You're doing that head to foot look again.

l told you, when a woman looks at me that way...

l'm just making sure it fits you perfectly.

Why so serious?

Oh no. Did Mr. Thursday ruin your day?

Have you eaten? Let's have dinner.

This will just ruin our day.

And besides, l'm better company.

There. We can have dinner in peace.

So tell me, what do you want?

You want pasta? Sandwich? Steak? Ice scramble?

l want you to leave me alone.

So we're back to that...

l told you already Sari. l'm not giving up.

Because l want this. l want you-

You can't always get what you want.

You know that line's a load of bull, right?

lf you want it, you can get it.

lf you want it, you'll find a way.

- If you don't, you find a way out. - l can't do this anymore.

What's your excuse?

Are you falling in love with me?

Yes.

Five years.

For five years, what l have with Rico seemed enough.

l never complained. l never asked for more.

l've already accepted my fate.

Then you came.

l started to question.

Sari...

You'll never know what's lacking until someone comes along and fills it.

l won't leave Rico.

Why? Why can't you leave him?

Please leave...

ls it because of money?

lf it's money, Sari, l have money too.

You know where l live.

You know where l work.

- Do l look like l'm after his money? - Fine!

l don't care about his money! And l don't care if you have money!

lf it's not money, then what?

Sex? Is that it?

lf l say yes, will you leave me alone?

No! Because l bet you, l'm a damn better lover!

This is not right! This is not right-

And what you're doing with him is the one right?

JD, stop it! Please.

Your debt of gratitude? Is that it?

You'll spend the rest of your life repaying his twisted kindness?

l can't hurt him!

So you're okay with that?

You'll be a mistress all your life?

Or maybe... maybe Sari you enjoy that.

You enjoy that... being some old man's dirty little secret.

No woman ever dreams of becoming a mistress!

- Then get out! - l love him! And he loves me!

ls that how he loves you? You're a kept woman !

You're deprived of his time! You don't have all of him!

Why can't he give you what you deserve?

- Enough, JD. That hurts. - Fuck! You're hurt?!

You tell me you love me...

in the same breath you tell me you care for another man !

You think l want this?

Like a dog who follows you around...

Begging for scraps...

Going crazy every Thursday knowing you're with another man.

But still l fucking choose to stay!

Because l know what it's like to keep secrets.

And be kept a secret.

You suffer in silence,

you live your life defined by that secret.

And when people look at you, sometimes, it's all they see.

You're this... horrible, shameful little secret.

And worse, even you believe that about yourself,

and that's all you see...

You forget that you're a good person.

You forget that you deserve to be loved.

You forget that you're free.

And that you can change your life, Sari.

That's what l want you to see.

That's what l want to give you.

lf only you will let me, if only you will choose me.

Elsie, the fruits!

Here they are, Ma'am.

Leave that to them. Come sit. Have breakfast with me.

- Okay. - Wait.

- Are you okay? Are you comfortable? - Yes.

l'll talk to Eric again. Just be patient.

l can convince your son to work in the company again. Okay?

- Okay. Thank you. - Sure.

Why are you looking at me like that?

So how long will you be gone?

Two weeks.

And where will you go?

To Singapore.

Singapore?

Rico, you know very well l can't just leave.

Don't you worry, l already talked to Emil.

You told Master Emil?

Come on, Sari, do you think Emil doesn't know?

What about my family? What reason will l give them?

Tell them you're with me.

Rico...

Stop fidgeting.

- Ana told me that's the trend. - You could have asked me first.

This way ma'am, sir.

Thank you.

Maybe we can start with cream of...

- Hello husband. - Regina...

Aren't you going to introduce me to your latest caregiver?

l'm assuming that's what you are child, right?

By the way your dress,

you look more like a prostitute than a caregiver.

My God, Rico, your secretary still has a poor taste!

Stop it!

- You're drunk again. - You turned me into an a)coho)ic Rico.

By the way, l am his wife.

- Come on ! - Wait!

- l'm not done yet! - You are done!

Eric!

Eric, come here.

This is interesting.

l want you to meet somebody, come on !

l want you to meet your father's mistress!

- Say hello! - Take her!

- Mom. - Look at her. Look at her!

She's beautiful, isn't she?

She must remind your dad of how l used to be...

when l was young and stupidly in love with him.

You must be quite a performer in bed if he is willing to leave you millions.

That's enough!

Don1 get your hopes up.

As long as l am alive, you will never, never be promoted to wife!

- Stop it! This is embarrassing. - You're embarrassing!

- You and your mistress! - Come on, mom.

Let's go!

Sari.

l'm sorry...

Sari, stop it!

Sari, what the-

lsn't this what you want?

You're a better lover than your father, aren't you?

You're better than him, right?

Sari.

This is what you want!

Stop it!

Stop.

l'm not a whore, JD.

Sari, l'm sorry. P)ease be)ieve me.

l already set a meeting with Master Emil on Tuesday...

so we can present the plans.

lt's been over a week, Brian.

She still won't talk to me.

You actually think she will?

Dude, you didn't really think...

you were going to get a happy ending with her, did you?

How can you make a mistake as grave as this?

l've been your regular client. Where is Emil?

He brought his wife to the hospital.

What happened?

There was a mistake in the swatches attached to the order slip.

l specifically stated jusi or jusi pi�a for the Barong Tagalog.

This is linen ! This is so cheap!

l'm a wedding sponsor, not a security guard!

l will make a new one.

The wedding's tomorrow, right?

Yes, but it's in Tuguegarao!

l'm heading to the airport right now for my flight!

l will personally deliver your Barong Tagalog in Tuguegarao tomorrow morning.

Fine! Since you want to be a smart-ass.

- Brian. - You're here again?

You don't give up, do you?

Who knows? She might talk to me now.

Okay. Maybe you could help them.

What's the problem?

l packed you a change of clothes.

When will you be back?

Right after l deliver this to Mr. Zarate.

Don't forget grandma's medication, Abby.

l can't get a cab! It's raining hard and-

- It's late- - Sari, l already told Architect...

You're going to Tuguegarao?

Want meto drive you there?

Sari, it's 9:45PM. You'll miss the bus!

Where's a cab when you need one?

l can drive you to the bus station.

- No! Bring her to Tuguegarao! - No! Bring her to Tuguegarao!

Sari, if you can't get a cab, you'll miss the bus!

Ms. Sari, why not take JD's offer?

lf you don't get there in time, Mr. Zarate will be angry with you.

lf you want to eat, we can stop over somewhere.

lt's a long drive, you might get hungry.

Sari, l'm sorry.

Even before l knew the truth, l already liked you.

When l learned who you are in Rico Torres's life...

l wanted to punish you.

lt's crazy.

l wanted to hate you. l wanted to stay away from you.

But ) cou)dn't.

l wanted to see what he saw in you.

What you saw in him.

Until l wanted you to see me instead.

There are many reasons why l shouldn't love you...

but only one reason why l can't do that.

l love you. That's it.

Will the parents and godparents approach the altar...

to give Ivy and Jerome their blessing.

Let us pray for Ivy and Jerome...

who come to God's altar at the beginning o1their married li1e.

Are you really an architect?

Why does Brian call you JD?

That's the name l've been using since l resigned from Liberty Telecom.

JD, Juancho Diego.

The name of my real father.

l was 22 when l found out.

Mom accidentally told me when she got so drunk.

She tells me the same story, everytime she gets drunk.

The funny thing is,

she doesn't remember saying them when she's sober.

l don't ask about it.

l love her too much to make her suffer telling the truth.

When l learned about it, everything made sense.

lt's the reason why l felt Daddy seemed to love only my brother Henry.

Your dad loves you.

He'll be heartbroken if he finds out...

you'd rather be known as another man's son.

Yes... he is my father.

That's why we can't be together.

What if JD were my real name?

What if Rico Torres weren't my father?

What if nothing happened between the two of you?

Let's pretend, Sari...

that everything were right in the world...

What do you see?

Why?

Let's go.

- What did you see? - Nothing. Let's go.

- Sari, what did you-- - Let's go.

We're here to wish Ivy and Jerome a good life.

Let's help them achieve that.

Let these lanterns take away their fears...

their worries, their doubts...

and a)) the reasons that hinder them mom being happy...

Let us send the )anterns to the skies.

Release the lanterns! Let them go!

You asked me to pretend. Can it be real?

lf you want it to be.

l'm afraid to believe.

Release your fears, Sari.

You want meto go with you?

No. l have to talk to him mysel1.

Are you sure?

l love you, Sari.

l love you.

Go home. l'll just call you.

Finally...

l've been calling your cell phone. l couldn1 get through.

Emil told me the wedding was yesterday. Why did you only arrive just now?

What excuse do you have?

Were you with your suitor?

Yes.

This... JD?

Eric.

Eric?

l met him as JD.

But Eric Torres is his real name.

frederico Torres Jr.

Goddamn...

Rico, l'm sorry...

Rico, forgive me! Rico!

Rico. Please.

What right have you, Sari? You're just my mistress.

Eric?!

Get out! Get out of the car!

Get out!

Rico! JD!

JD!

You bastard!

You knew, didn't you? You knew all along!

l told you !

What are you trying to prove?

You want to get even with me?

By stealing my woman?

Rico, please...

Rico? Rico, what's wrong?

JD, help me!

Rico! Rico! JD!

- Rico! My God! - Let's go!

He su�ered a severe heart attack.

Based on the angiogram, he had a )ot of b)ocked vesse)s.

So we had to perform stenting to clear all the blockages.

You cut the crap Chris. Tell me the truth.

He's in critical condition, Regina.

He could go anytime.

There were many complications.

He is su�ering mom pulmonary congestion.

His kidney was affected so his creatinine level went up.

You do everything. You make him live.

We'll do everything. We'll have to go now.

Mom, l'm so sorry.

How dare you?

You knew Eric. You knew everything.

How can you do this to me, son?

Mom...

She is your father's mistress.

Nothing you say will ever make this right, Eric.

Oh, God. Mom, l'm so sorry...

No!

JD, how is he?

He's not good, Sari.

The doctor said he's in critica) condition.

JD, l'd like to...

Can l see him?

Can ) see him even just 1or a while, please?

JD please...

l hope you understand, Sari.

l'm sorry.

l understand.

Yes, it's ready for pick up.

l'd like to speak to Sari Alfonso.

May l know who you are, Ma'am?

Mrs. Torres.

- So you're Emil. - Yes.

Pleased to meet you.

Now can you have that adulterous woman called?

Ma'am...

Sari...

- Mrs. Torres... - Yes, l am Mrs. Torres.

The wife and the mother of the two men...

willing to kill each other over this bitch !

Mrs. Torres...

Emil, did you know that the father of Architect Torres...

is Frederico Torres?

- Ma'am, let's talk outside please- - Why, are you ashamed?

Where did your shame go when you went out with both my husband and son?

Ma'am, l beg you...

You are assuming l want to talk to you, right? l don't.

l just have one thing to say. Stay away from my family.

Even a moron should understand that.

What right do we have to judge?

l, least of all...

lt was my fault that you-

No, Mom.

This is all my fault.

This is my life.

l knew what l was getting myself into.

Even if l tell myself that l am a good person,

that this is my only sin, it's still wrong.

l allowed myself to fall in love even if l knew l would hurt other people.

lt just hurts, Mom.

lt hurts so much.

Grandma, l'm sorry.

Sari is a bad girl.

Just stand in the corner, my child.

Accept your punishment.

Rico?

You want me to call the doctor?

Stay here.

l've hurt you over and over.

But you know l love you, right?

Yes.

But l also know l was never enough.

Maybe that is why...

l have to die.

So l won't hurt you anymore.

No. Don't say that. l'll kill you.

lf l will live again, l will look for you.

And then l'll make sure l will never hurt you again.

Rico, l hate you.

l really, really hate you.

Because l can't really hate you.

l hate you.

And l love you.

Son...

Your dad is looking for you.

Eric...

Open it.

l am appointing you my deputy CEO.

- Tomorrow, Alex is going to... - No, dad. You should be resting.

No, Eric. l won't live long.

l can't do this, Dad.

This is such a big responsibility. l can't.

Eric, this is not about what you can or cannot do.

)t's about...

what you should do.

For the people who depend on the company and their families.

You have to do it.

Forgive me.

l'm sorry, my son.

No, Dad...

l should be the one to apologize.

l don't know...

where to start.

l don't know how to explain...

l'm really sorry.

ln my life, l fell in love twice.

That's why l understand you.

You really are my son.

l loved you the moment you were born.

Since the first time you looked at me with those...

with those big, big eyes.

And then...

you smiled at me.

That moment...

l knew...

You're mine.

That's why l gave you my name.

l love you.

Please forgive me.

No, Dad...

No...

l'm sorry.

l'm sorry.

He asked to be buried in his favorite suit.

That's the first suit l made for him.

Did you ask him to forgive me?

Thank you.

- His other things are upstairs. - Sari...

He wants you to have this place.

Everything in this house is yours.

No...

l don't need anything in this house.

The cab is here.

l love you so much, Sari.

l love you so much.

Maybe...

we can love each other only in make-believe.

No.

No.

No.

My father died a year and a ha)f ago.

And ) wou)d )ike to be)ieve he died a happy man.

He wasn1 per1ect but he was a good man.

And the best way 1or me to honor my 1ather is to...

do my best in thisjob that he did so we))...

so per1ectly.

To serve this company, all o1 you...

and the rest o1 my 1amily as best as ) can.

But ) guess l will never measure up to him.

But l am the one standing in front of you now as president and CEO.

And l am working so hard to be good at this.

l'm working hard not to be the perfect man...

but just to be a good man the way my father was.

Mamon, have you finished your homework?

Yes, Miss Sari! You're my only unfinished business.

You're so cute!

You can court her once you grow a waist!

But Sari's heart belongs to someone else.

Sari, l've already talked to Atty. Mona...

to iron out the details of our new business venture.

Thank you.

- Anytime. l'll go ahead. - Take care.

Sari, l'll go head. Do you need any help?

- No, l'm fine. - Bye.

Take care.

What ifJD were my rea) name...

What if Rico Torres weren't my father...

Let's pretend, Sari...

That everything were right in the world.

What do you see?
