One Sunday in November

Tatang, may we talk about it now?

About what?

About Noel and me.

Who?

Noel...he works with me at the bank.

So?

We plan to get married.

You're only twenty-five. You're too young.

Why are you rushing it?

What about your CPA exams?

I won't be able to pass them anymore.

What kind of talk is that?

I've given this a lot of thought.

I'm pregnant.

How many months?

Two months.

Are you sure?

So this is what it all comes down to.

- Onyang - Ma'am.

Do that tomorrow. Go to bed. -I'm not finished, Ma'am.

- I said, tomorrow! - Yes,ma'am.

What does this Noel Manalansan do for a living?

We work in the same department.

What does he do!

He's a credit investigator.

Credit investigator - what's that?

Can he support you?

Go to bed.

Sunday, November...

I don't know if there are fathers like Tatang.

If there are, I don't want to ever meet them.

How much longer must l stay in this house?

How did it happen?

What do you mean 'how did it happen'?

How did it happen? How did you get pregnant?

Tatang, what a question.

I took care of you, watched you grow up...

gave you everything... - Don't worry. Noel's a good man.

Tell Noel, I want to speak to him.

Yes.Thanks, Tatang

" Here comes sis, wiggling her hips...

"No head but with mouth open wide...

"No eyes, but scared of the light."

Know what l'm talking about?

Sir?

You don't?

I don't, sir.

This.

“No head,all mouth...

No eyes but scared of the light."

Have you ever touched any of these?

- Here, hold them. - Sir?

- Scared? -No,sir.

Hold them. They're clean.

They're not the kind you have in your gut.

You know,if you're retired, you must keep busy

- How old are you? - Twenty-six,sir.

Still young. It'll be some time before you start breeding earthworms!

What are you thinking?

Nothing, sir.

Maybe you think l'm crazy for breeding worms.

No,sir. I read you can make a lot of money in earthworms.

Of course! It'll put your salary to shame.

They cost thirty pesos a kilo- more expensive than meat.

So l make more from this than when l was a policeman.

Where do you sell them,sir?

Where are the Manalansans from?

Bulacan,sir.

Can you support a married life?

I believe l can,sir.

Mila and l will make ends meet.

You're shorter than my daughter,right?

Why did you do it?

What, sir?

I don't like what you did.

You took advantage of my daughter.

You're lucky

Of all of Mila′s suitors, you're the only one l allowed here.

There were many after her.

But no one got as far as you.

Thank you, sir.

When do l meet your parents?

Whenever you want, sir.

Middle of November

We thought Noel was your only child.

NO,the eldest, Pete,is in Saudi

What's his job there?

He's an engineer at a government housing project.

And how's life like there?

Lonely but it pays well.

- I told him... - More beer?

No,one is enough.

- You know as one grows older... - Give Noel another one.

How old are you?

Fifty-one.

Still young.

I'm older than you by six years.

I've been retired two years from the Pasay Police Force.

But you only look forty!

Beer helps.

And a bit of exercise.

You don't get to exercise much in your job,right?

You exercise your mind when you teach, right?

That's true.

About the children..

I don't see why they should rush into it.

But we can't do anything about it anymore.

When are you planning to get married?

On December 8,sir.

- What day is that? - Tuesday, sir.

Why not make it on a weekend? A Saturday?

It's hard to schedule it on a weekday. There's work.

On the other hand, December 8 is the Feast of the lmmaculate Conception...

That's why we chose December 8.

OK...do as you please.

Just hold it in the evening..

so those with work can attend...

as well as relatives from the province.

This only happens once..

so let's not my daughter's wedding be an embarrassment.

Am I right?

Get Col. Diaz as a godfather.

He's the superintendent of the Pasay City police

We're good friends he won't refuse me.

Or Cristobal,the ex-mayor.

He was Mila's baptismal godfather and he won't refuse as well.

And the sponsors..

My aunt in Makati, Dr. Celestino.

And our boss at the bank,too-- Miss Qlivares.

So, about the reception?

We haven't decided on that yet.

We'll only invite close relatives and friends.

Choose a suitable place-that's dinner.

Don't scrimp. This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

And we don't want to embarrass ourselves in front of our relatives.

Can you afford ten thousand pesos?

Ten thousand pesos, sir?

Our family tradition requires the giving of a...

sab-ong

Dowry.

He means ten thousand is the dowry.

If it were our son, we would be the ones to give.

but it happens that it's our daughter.

I understand.

That's probably the way it was when you married Dely.

You know what?

I never wanted this.

Please be patient with Tatang.

He probably still can't accept the idea of my getting married.

Don't worry. That's the way it is. It's tradition

I'm so embarrassed.

We must be going.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

- Are you angry with me? - 'Tang,I'm tired.

Did I do wrong?

I did it all for you.

What do you want? A miserable wedding for my only child?

Don't worry. Noel has agreed.

We have a saying: something of value shouldn't be easy to get...

one must work hard for it,

Then you should have asked for more. Why settle for ten thousand?

The dowry is inconsequential.

But why make it hard for Noel?

Where will he get the money?

You don't understand.

Money is easy to get.

That shouldn't be Noel's concern now.

- Dadong! - What?

Water's ready.

Coming!

It might be a sin but l feel no love for Tatang.

If you knew Tatang the way l do, you'd understand.

He's strict.

He keeps saying it's because I'm his only child.

l'm about to get married, but he still takes me to work and picks me up.

Once I made him wait. It was late when we left the bank.

Good evening, sir.

I knew I had hurt him and I was glad.

But Tatang won't give up the fight.

It's as if he doesn't care what Noel thinks.

He says it's his right to know everything that is happening to me.

While we prepared for the wedding, he was always there.

At the city hall...

he said the people there knew him and it would make things easier.

At the church, he wanted to talk to the priest

When we were choosing invitations, he was there,too..

so we just let him decide for us.

As I become more distant to Tatang...

I feel closer to Noel.

I wanted to help him raise the money...

but Tatang holds my savings.

Fortunately, he was able to borrow from the bank

Things are looking good.

Thanks to Miss Olivares the application is at the main office.

She says she'll follow up on the loan.

I'm sorry, Noel. We're just starting and you're already in debt.

Once we're married, all my debts will be yours as well.

At Noel's home, he proudly showed us our future room

l knew Tatang was not happy about what he heard

I knew what he was thinking.

He was going to lose his only child.

It was a quiet dinner at Noel's place

Tatang's mind really runs differently.

The wedding's a week from now.

I can't imagine what this new life will be like.

I'm hoping for the best.

TuesdayDcembr 8

Why don't we join them?

Alright.

What's wrong?

It must be her blood pressure. We better go home.

She's tired.

Maybe there's no need for that. Let her rest a bit.

It isn't often we get together.

Impossible. She has to go home.

- Then we'll go with you. - Don't bother!

Just take care of the guests and relatives.

Pa,what happened?

We'll be going on ahead. Just follow later.

Don't lock it yet.|We're going out.

But I've been told to lock the gate.

We're sleeping here.

Why?

Nanang's not feeling well. I need to stay with her.

But your father's here.

Get our things from the car.

What about our hotel reservation?

Cancel it.

What's going on?

Noel, Nanang's sick.

If you want to go, then tell them yourself.

Good evening sir.

Wednesday, December 9

Noel, Noel.

What time is it?

Get dressed. It's lunchtime.

I didn't wake you for breakfast.

You were sleeping so soundly

What happened to you last night?

I waited for you.

I fell asleep beside Nanang. They didn't wake me up.

I'm sorry Noel, but l just had to do it for Nanang.

- Let's stay here for a while. - Noel! Someone may enter!

So what? We're married now!

Not so loud. They might think we're quarreling.

It's their fault anyway

OK.I 'll go and wash-up.

Where's the bathroom?

It's the door on the right as you go out.

Why isn't there a lock on this door?

It's broken. It hasn't been replaced.

I'm sorry Noel. I'm quite embarrassed.

Dely wanted her neck massaged by Mila.

She kept on complaining of all sorts of pain.

That's the trouble with hens, always clucking!

Now your honeymoon's ruined.

Never mind, with young people like you...

every day's a honeymoon, right?

Yes,sir.

So enjoy yourselves.

- Why not go out? - We are going out.

- Where to? - My place,sir

Onyang, let me do that.

Why did you bother bringing that up?

'Nang, may we talk?

-If it's about last night.. -Why didn't you object?

You know I couldn't have said no.

What is he planning for us?

How are you, 'Nang?

A bit better.

Thanks to Mila.

We're going to my place. If it's alright with you.

Of course, go ahead. Don't mind me.

Just leave my medication with Onyang, okay'?

So that when you return, you won't be bothered about anything.

By the way, Noel...

I'd like to ask you a favor.

What's that?

Can you stay here a few days?

Nang!

If you don't mind.

I don't know why, but I'm used to Mila looking after me when I'm ill.

'Nang, you're imposing on Noel.

It's OK.

Thanks for understanding.

Go on, get going while it's early.

OK. We'll be going.

Say goodbye to your father.

Why did you agree?

What could I have said? She asked a favor.

You could have given an excuse.

You should have been the one. She's your mother.

- You should have. - Why me?

You're the man.

That's enough.

We're not each other's enemy.

lt's alright.

It's only for a few days

When are you moving here?

Maybe Friday.

And how are your in-laws?

They're OK, but..

Mila's father is different. I can't figure him out.

i know what you mean.

But it's better to get along with them this early

- Did you speak to Tatang? - Nobody's answering.

Perhaps they're asleep.

Maybe.

Pa, I'll leave the car. We'll just take a taxi.

It's up to you.

- Don't meddle in this! -Dadong!

Good evening, 'Tang.

Do you know what time it is?

We had supper at Noel's.

Mila kept calling but no one answered.

Save the excuses for tomorrow!

We'll see how Nanang is.

Don't bother!

She's asleep!

Mila? Mila!

Mila, your father's asking for you.

Yes, coming!

What are your plans for today?

We were thinking of watching a movie.

- What? - Sir?

What movie?

Any movie.

I'll take you.

Please don't bother. We'll just take a taxi.

Don't waste your money. Taxis are expensive nowadays.

- We're going Onyang - Yes,sir.

"I'm sorry they made you wait. Please sit."

"Thank you."

“What service can I offer you?"

:"I know that your soldiers have arrested him."

“May I speak to him?

No wonder young people are like this today.

Think of it. The movies show nothing but crime, sex...

murder and rape!

It's natural for them to imitate what they see,right?

I had a case once--a married couple...

that fought like hell.

Blood on the chairs,the floor, blood just everywhere!

One night, the woman stabbed the man in the leg.

Another night, the man stabbed her here...

stabbed his wife's side!

Why, the woman walked all the way to the hospital!

Why didn't you arrest them?

Because those bastards refused to press charges.

So there was no case.

One night, the worst thing happened.

The neighbors came out into the streets..

shouting that they were killing each other.

So I broke down the apartment door!

And do you know what l saw?

What did you see, sir?

Hey you're not drinking. Drink some more.

No thank you,sir. I think Mila's not feeling well.

I'd better take her up to her room

You should get used to it. That's how pregnant women are.

Go up ahead. Leave your husband.

'Tang...'Tang.

I'm going up,too.

What's the matter?

A little problem and you go to pieces.

You ain't got the nerve to be a policeman!

I don't understand how you got my daughter to fall for you.

Sir?

You know what finally happened to that couple?

What couple, sir?

The husband was cowering beside the fridge, shocked.

He couldn't move!

His wife was holding a knife, ready to stab him.

That was the first time I'd seen such a knife!

Fuck! It was as long as my arm!

Hey you're not drinking. Drink some more!

What are your plans?

We won't be staying long here.

Does your father know that?

'Nang,what does he want? He'll only destroy our lives

I worry for Noel.

Why should he do that?

Your Tatang loves you.

- He's doing everything for you. - He only thinks of himself.

You always get what you want. He always gives in to you,right?

- Why don't you do something? - Like what? Will he listen to me?

Maybe to you.

What about last night?

We just had a misunderstanding. He was drinking

Whatever your plans don't shock him. He will only get hurt.

Especially now that he's expecting your child.

Is that all you re going to eat?

It's enough.

I'm worried. Would you like to see a doctor?

No need.I l'll just rest

Do you think we can move out tomorrow?

Your mother seems well already.

We'll see.

What do you mean “we'll see’?

If I'm feeling better.

Now it's you who's ill.

I don't know anymore.

All our plans are ruined.

What did she say?

Nothing

What do you mean? Don't you talk about it?

We do..

But it doesn't make sense.

It's strange how much she fears her father.

Everyone's afraid.

Her mother. Even the maid.

I don't know what I've gotten into.

Maybe I'm afraid as well.

Why are you all afraid?

Can't explain it.

Because he's a cop?

Just move out It's really hard to live with in-laws.

Remember my sister, Cynthia?

She had the same problem.

They moved to Los Banos. That solved their problem.

It's easy to say that.

Just take it easy, OK?

All right. Thanks a lot.

Hey...

What happened?

Can I stay here tonight?

Come in.

Saturday, December 12

Where's Mila?

Upstairs, sir

You better tell her father first or he might scold me.

- Where is he?- At the pigsty

What a nice life you got!

All you do is eat, sleep..

and make little pigs!

This is Ernie,sir

Oh yes,I remember him. You were best man,right?

Yes, sir

So what's up

I wish to speak to Mila, sir.

Why do you need to ask me?

She's your wife. You're not a guest here.

- But Onyang said... - Onyang!

Let them in!

Give them some drinks!

Yes,sir.

Go on. I've got a lot of work to do.

Just a minute.

What happened to you last night?

I felt like some idiot ringing the doorbell.

And don't say you were asleep.

Your father's room was lit when I arrived.

But the lights went out the moment l rang.

Why?

You know we have a curfew here.

Goddamn! What is this? A military camp?

I called but no one answered!

Sorry, Noel.

Couldn't you even answer the telephone?

- Tatang has orders. - Always your goddamn Tatang!

What's the matter? Are you all tied up to your Tatang?

Does your Tatang dictate all that you do?

Come on,Mila, you already have a husband.

I'm your husband!

- Please. He might hear you. - Tell me!

Who will hear me? Your Tatang?

Say it! Say it! Your Tatang! Your Tatang!

To hell with this fucking house!

Let's move out now, Mila.

- It's difficult,Noel. -Why?

- Papa wants us to live here. - What do you want?

What if I don't agree?

What's wrong if we live here?

What's wrong?

Can't you see?

We're married alright but we can't do as we please.

You're all tied to this place. You.Your mother Onyang!

If you want to stay in this prison, it‘s your choice.

You can all rot together!

Dadong!

Sit down.

I'm still the head of this household...

and what l want is for Mila to live here.

If you do not want to live here...

there's nothing i can do.

Son, seems your quarrel with Mila is getting serious.

No,Papa. She's just sulking.

Is it about moving here?

No,Papa. It's just the pregnancy

That's not good. You haven't been married a week.

I'll take care of it.

It's probably just a period of adjustment.

Don't be stubborn. Go to her first.

AIright.

When are you going back to work?

On Monday.

Don't go back to work yet.

What more do you want?

You want to meddle in everything I do!

Goddamn you!

Sunday, December 13

Is this Noel Manalansan's house?

Yes.Why?

Please give this to him.

What is this?

His clothes.

What happened?

Nothing.

I think it's getting serious.

It's not.

Are you going to church?

This afternoon

'Tell the weak to strengthen their hearts and not to fear."

“For our God will bring His wrath and avenge you.

“He will come and save you.

“If that happens, He will open the eyes of the blind... “He will come and save you.

“If that happens, He will open the eyes of the blind...

the ears of the deaf....

“the lame will leap like a deer...

“and the mute will exclaim!!"

Monday, December 14

Noel, how's the newlywed?

Still a bit weak in the knees.

0:20

Noel!

A moment.

Have you spoken to Mila?

Not yet. Why?

- She called earlier. - About what?

She spoke to Miss Olivares.

She's extending her leave of absence.

It was my second visit to Dr. Trinidad

She said my baby is starting to take shape.

With a head and body about 2.5 centimeters long.

Imagine. That's smaller than my finger.

She also said coming that in the days...

my baby would start to grow fingers.

Three hundred?

You should just give this to me for Christmas.

Sarge, don't be a cheapskate.

Forgive him, Sarge. You know his day isn't complete without a racket.

What racket?

Son of a bitch! Who're you fooling?

We come from the same place.

Is there a cop without a racket?

Capt.Reyes! He's straight. He gets promoted quickly.

Bullshit! He's got a godfather.

If you want to get promoted, get yourself one,too.

Is this good?

Of course, Sarge

Where'd you get it?

I confiscated it. Illegal possession.

Poor guy was high as well. Gave him a choice.

Good evening, 'Tang. May I speak to Mila?

Hello

Noel...

Mila..you called?

Yes. Earlier, I was at the clinic.

- What's wrong?- I can't take it anymore.

Help me leave this place. - What's wrong?- I can't take it anymore.

Help me leave this place.

How?

Find away. I'll go with you.

- What about Tatang? - I don't...

Mila? Mila?

Was that Noel?

Will you tell Tatang?

Will you tell him?

What would happen if I did that?

'Nang, I'm going with Noel.

Can't you help us?

You can stay here. Why do you have to go?

You know the reason.

What is the reason?

Tatang... I can't forgive him.

What really happened?

Nang, it wasn't my fault.

I didn't want to. He forced me.

Please believe me.I didn't want to.

I don't want it to happen again.

I don't know what to think.

Must l tell you what happened?

You're also at fault.

Why me?

You just left me with Tatang.

You're blaming me now?

Don't you remember?

I was the only one who took care of you when you were small.

We were always together, talked a lot. I knew everything that happened to you.

But what went wrong?

When you got older...

we grew apart

I became nothing to you.

You sought only your Tatang.

I became a mere outsider in this house.

“Nang, are you jealous?

Do you think love him?

I'm more frightened of him than you are.

I was never happy here.

Look at us-—living together in fear.

How can you stand it?

Before you were born...

I tried to run away

It was futile.

I had nowhere to go. I couldn't do anything

So I returned to your Tatang.

Since then, I became his subject.

Is that what you want to happen to me,too?

'Nang, let's help each other escape.

He can't stop you.

You're not married.

He has no legal hold on you.

Why don't you come with us?

It's difficult.

I've made my decision

Don't worry

I won't tell your Tatang your plans.

Just be careful.

Tuesday, December 15

“Nang-..Nang...

just a moment.

Is Mila there?

You'd better leave I'll tell her you dropped by

-I have to speak to her. - Just call her up.

- Please understand. I can't help you. -“Nang!‘Nang!

Dadong!

Bitch!

What are you plotting with Noel? What are you planning?

- Nothing... - Goddamn you!

Believe me! Nothing!

Just try to fool me! Just try!

Have pity!Have pity!

Fuck you!

If you help Mila, you'll never leave this house alive!

“Tang!

‘Tang, take me to the hospital!

What's wrong?

- Just take me to the hospital! - Onyang!

- Onyang! - Sir!

What,sir? - Onyang! - Sir!

- Onyang! - Sir!

Get the key of the jeep from the room! Hurry!

Right away.

100 over 70. It's normal.

You're probably just excited.

There's no problem. Just continue taking your medicine,OK?

-Thank you.- OK.

Is something wrong? Doctor, telephone call for you...

Just a moment.

Hello?

Yes, good morning.

Yes.

Who's the resident physician on duty now?

Can you call him?

Hello,this is Dr.Trinidad Good morning

What's wrong with Mrs. Abad?

- May l use the phone? - Yes, over there

Noel!

- Mila? Where are you? - Near the hospital.

I escaped. I don't know what to do.

I'll be there in thirty minutes.

Tatang might catch me.

Sir, you're not allowed here.

Nurse! Nurse

Who was that?

I'm not sure. Maybe Mrs. Manalansan's husband.

But why was she gone when I got back?

I don't know.

Onyang!

- Hurry! - Yes,sir!

For fuck's sake, hurry up!

'God is truth. God is truth!

Those who are affluent have betrayed the Word of God.”

“For He asks us to be humble..

It might be better for you to stay in the province.

Where?

At my sister's in Los Banos. Do you want to? Where?

At my sister's in Los Banos. Do you want to?

- Mila? - Anywhere.

Noel! Noel!

Fuck!

Come out! Noel!

- Bring my daughter out! - What is it,sir?

Where's your boss?

- Who,sir? - Noell!

He's not here,sir.

Fuck! l know he's there! Tell him to come out here!

Make him come out!

Noel!

Noel! Fuck you!

Bring my daughter out!

Fuck! Be careful!

Fuck You!

Get out!

Forgive me, sir.

Pack your clothes.

Goddamn you.

You don't want to leave?

You don't want to leave?

- I won't do it again, sir. - I'll make you leave.

I told you to be careful!

Don't come back here!

Sorry about this. We're being such a burden.

Don't be.You'll be safe here.

Just excuse the cramped quarters. Don't be.You'll be safe here.

Just excuse the cramped quarters.

It's not really. We're lucky to be here.

Forget about it. Cynthia and I also eloped.

So, we know your situation.

Find a way.

Get Mila back.

Please be patient with Dadong He was only taken by surprise.

You know that Mila's our only child.

According to the maid...

...your husband was cursing outside. He even had a gun.

It's just that he was hurt deeply by Mila.

Let me apologize for whatever he may have done.

Don't worry.

Please tell your husband...

that we'd better talk about this problem.

Do you know where they are?

No, I don't

This is what we'll do.

We'll place an advance on the house.

Then we'll ask Miss Olivares for a recommendation.

We'll surely find work here.

How can she do that when we owe the bank money?

But we're not avoiding payment. We'll pay them somehow

I'm so ashamed, Noel.

If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened.

Why blame yourself? You should blame..

...we should blame your father.

Why is he that way?

I don't know, Noel.

I don't know what to tell you.

Why does he dislike me so?

I treat you well. I don't lie to you.

It's hard to understand, Noel.

You know that.

Does he hurt you?

I guess it's better this way.

We can be independent

No one to meddle in our lives.

Why should it come to this?

Is it wrong to worry about one's child?

But the children are married.

Mila is still my child.

They want to be on their own.

I admit I made a mistake.

I've never experienced anything like this.

Imagine if it were your only daughter...

...you wouldn't leave her to just any man.

Maybe I don't know Noel enough.

I understand

I know they won't understand me but..

if they could only put themselves in my position

Have you decided?

Yes,we prefer it here. It's quiet.

How about your jobs at the bank?

We'll ask for our manager's recommendation.

It will help us find work.

I don't know..

but it's tough here in Los Banos.

We've managed to survive because I work in agriculture

We've been lucky so far. We've already found a house.

It's small but nice.

Friday, December 18

Does he know where we are?

I didn't say

I wanted to talk to you first.

What do you want us to do?

Why don't you go back to Manila and talk to Mila's father?

He seems sorry enough for what he did to you.

And then, if you still prefer to stay here..

then it's up to you.

Come on. We'll be late.

Mila.

Go on ahead. l'll follow

Mila...Mila...

You're dreaming.

It seemed like a bad dream.

There must be a reason why one has to die.

Once I took Tatang's gun from his room.

I looked at the mirror...

and pointed it at my head.

l just stood there.

Why did you do that?

SometimesI can't bear being alone any longer.

Why do you talk that way?

You just got caught up in my problems.

We shouldn't have gotten married.

Tatang really didn't want me to get married.

He only agreed to it because I was pregnant.

Let's face your father.

Do you want us to always live this way?

Look at what's happening to you.

You may be far away, but who's still on your mind?

Let's face him.

Upstairs. They're a bit ashamed to see you.

Come in.

Please sit.

I'm the one who should apologize.

Life's hard without our children. Thank you.

Well, what are your plans?

We're getting an apartment.

That was our intention actually.

Of course!

The whole family must be together for Christmas!

Thank you so much for the return of our children.

'Tang?

ls Mila there?

Just a moment

Mila.

It's Tatang.

Hello.

Mila?

Come here for a while. Your Nanang's sick.

She's looking for you. Can you come over?

'Tang, aren't you ever going to give up? What do you really want to happen?

Come over right now!

What did he want?

He wants me to go there. He says Nanang's sick again.

I thought we fixed everything last night.

He's not going to ever leave us alone

Are you coming?

What do you mean? Why are you going?

This has to end.

Must you go tonight?

We won't be long

Are you having dinner here?

We'll be back right away

- See you, Pa. - OK.

Don't go.

That's enough,‘Nang. We can take care of ourselves.

We've both discussed this.

- You don't understand. -It's all clear, 'Nang.

You can't stop us no matter what.

Your Tatang won't accept that.

- He's not himself anymore. - I've known that a long time.

- You don't understand. I want to help you...

but your Tatang's not himself anymore!

Mila...Noel... listen to me.

I'm begging you. Don't leave!

We've made our decision, 'Nang. And you can't change it.

Nothing will come of it. I beg you to stay here!

Your Tatang won't allow it!

I don't care! You can rot here with him!

We're leaving, 'Tang.

l'm begging you, Mila.

Don't leave me.

I have a claim to that baby.

Stop it! You have no claim to this baby!

- You have no claim on me! - Enough!
