Lauro, that's enough!

Leave my house!

Dad!

Take all your clothes with you

because you can't come back here as long as I'm living!

Please don't, Lauro...

From now on, you're no longer our family!

Have mercy on your son!

He is not my son, Melissa.

I have no child without shame!

Dad.

Get out before I kill you!

Liam!

Get out!!!

Son!!!

Mom!

Who said there is nothing wrong with loving?

There haved been too many people, I can't remember anymore.

But it's not true.

Not all loving is right...

In the eyes of man,

in the eyes of God.

God?

Are you the God who determines what is sin or not?

Who did you talk to to decide what is correct and what isn't?

And if was you,

why didn't you make man strong enough to resist temptation?

Against sin?

Why did you make the human heart fragile?

Why?

Or Harry could be right...

you just created us as playthings...

(Sin)

Oh, shit.

One room, please.

Do you have someone with you, sir?

Is that a requirement?

Not at all.

Sorry. How many hours?

I'll pay for one week. How much?

One week sir?

Is someone else working here?

Someone who doesn't have hearing problems?

Sorry, sir.

One week is P10,500 with free breakfast.

Do you accept card?

Just cash but if you don't have any cash, there is an ATM in town.

Presumptuous.

Not really sir...

You're a different kind, you know?

You hear whispers very well.

It's just a suggestion, sir. Sorry.

You know I haven't even been here for five minutes but you've already said sorry a few times.

Sorry.

Enough. It isn't cute.

Here.

You gave me eleven thousand, sir. That's the exact amount.

I'll just get the invoice ready.

But I thought it's only ten thousand five hundred?

Oh! Sorry, sir, my fault.

There is a five hundred peso deposit for the key.

But it's refundable when you check out.

If I only wasn't exhausted by the long drive...

I'm sorry again, sir...

I need an ID.

Maybe this motel has an intercom in case I want to order something.

There is, sir.

Just dial 0 for reception.

What is the number for dining?

Sorry sir, there is only one number...

only at the reception...

I will just tell dining what you ordered.

Third world.

What now?

Sir?

What now?

Where's my key?!

Sorry—Isko!

I just want to tell everyone about this

my worst motel experience...

I am sorry.

And translate it even!

Please take sir Harry to his room.

Sir, let me bring your bag...

Thanks.

OMG…

Liam,

you just saw a handsome man and you got flustered

You're foolish, girl!

But Mr. Grumpy is so handsome.

But I'm sure if there's one more mistake then he'll hit me.

Be proper, William San Jose, it's difficult to find a job during a pandemic...

I hope Mr. Grumpy doesn't report me.

Lord, I hope not...

Lord.

Hey!

What are you doing there?

Is it your period?

Or you're smitten with Mr. Handsome?

Don't be annoying.

I had a lot of lapses today.

You slept late again watching Pornhub, eh?

Idiot!

We're close to finals...

I always stayed up for the thesis.

Thesis...

maybe penis.

Fuck you!

Go back to your quarters!

You're too annoying.

By the way,

What?

Be careful with the new guest.

Why?

I think you really got him mad. He even asked for your name.

Maybe he'll report you...

Bye...

Crazy.

Hail Mary full of grace,

have mercy on me Mama.

I need this job...

What should I do?

Should I call to apologize?

But he might get even angrier.

What should I say?

He certainly won't accept free dinner. He looks rich...

and he'll get even more insulted.

What if I beg?

I will say that if he reports me, I will lose my job

and I will not be able to finish school...

He may have some mercy.

Yes.

That's it.

Why is it busy?

Perhaps he hanged it as he doesn't want to be disturbed.

Hello reception...

FUUUUUUCK!!! Send somebody now!

Sir?

Sir right away, sir!

It's locked.

The key.

Sir!

What happened?

I should be the one asking that!

I was taking a shower when the water ran out!

Oh my God!

I'm sorry sir, they're filling up the tank.

I'm sorry sir,

- I'll get you some water. - Hurry up it's irritating!

Hurry up it's irritating!

Why are you in a hurry? Where are you taking that?

Let's talk later, stay at the counter!

Sir, here!

Fuck! I can't see!

Sir.

Are you done?

It's done.

Ok!

Sir please,

I'm begging you.

I need this job so I can finish school.

Please have mercy on me, don't report me anymore.

I will be better next time...

Bro, that's too much of a disaster!

How long have you had this job?

What happened to a simple reminder,

“Sir, don't take a bath first because they're now filling the tank with water?!”

Is that too hard to do?

And I was trying to call the reception for about five minutes, it was busy!

God!

I have no excuse for my mistakes, sir.

That is why I am begging you.

Please forgive me.

You owe me one!

Remember that.

You need to swap that with a favor.

Anything sir.

But I promise I won't do it again.

It's okay.

Go back to the reception. I want to rest.

Are you forgiving me, sir?

Yes.

But you owe me remember that!

Yes, sir Harry.

Thank you very much.

I'm leaving.

Is that really your habit?

Which one?

To remember the names of your guests?

Yes...

Ok.

Kindly lock the door when you leave.

Mama Mary, thank youuuu!!!

Sir?

Hi.

Good evening.

Are you done with your duty?

Sir?

Shift.

Yes.

I'm going home.

Not yet.

Come with me.

Sir?

Why?

You owe me remember?

I don't have my salary yet.

Damn!

So you're planning to pay me with money?

Sorry.

How will I pay?

Get in.

Sir?

Will you ride or will I forget I forgave you?

I can still make a report about your dismal performance, you know.

Where will you take me sir?

Don't make assumptions

I'm just going to get abeer.

I don't know my way around here.

Ah, sorry.

Where?

Just straight ahead, sir...

Sorry I love sad songs.

Sir, there is beer at the hotel.

My prefered brand is different.

And I get bored inside...

Why didn't you ride earlier?

What were you thinking?

That you might throw me off the bridge or into the ravine...

You're morbid...

Is that how you look at me?

Pretty much. Sorry...

I'm sorry, too.

I'm a little frazzled now...

What is frazzled?

Weary... exhausted.

Why?

The usual...

Family problems, love life...

So I get easily frustrated with the tiny mistakes of people around me.

What course are you taking?

HRM, sir...

Everybody in this country is taking that course.

Not really...

I mean a lot.

How about you, sir? What did you take up?

Bumming.

Sir?

I have mastered the art of bumming around and causing a headache to my parents.

In short, a fucking bum.

Hmm… I would have shouted rape if you werent good-looking.

Sir, turn right.

To the right?

Main road, sir.

Let's go?

I'll just wait for you, sir...

Just move it when something comes out.

I don't know how to drive...

Here's the horn. Press it and I'll come out.

Okay...

Shiiiit!!!

It was getting too hard to breathe.

Girl, the stench of your breath is embarrassing!

Has Mr. Grumpy smelled it?

But in fairness, he's not grumpy anymore...

And he's even sorry!

But why is he still sweet-scented?

Has he taken a bath again?

Junjun, behave!

Don't be ambitious.

It is forbidden to desire for Mr. Grumpy even in dreams.

But why is he so “frazzled”?

Oh now I know a new word.

Frazzled is weary, exhausted.

I'll use it when I'm chatting so they'll think I'm intelligent.

What is his problem with his parents?

Perhaps he's a spoiled brat because he's rich.

Or perhaps he doesn't like being ruled.

Rich kids don't like that.

They prefer to be independent.

And how did you know that when you're a poor girl?

Right.

Just maybe...

He has a problem with love life?

No woman will take you for your crankiness?

But if I am the one you'll love,

I will accept all your crotch...

I mean your grouchiness.

Hey, who are you talking to?

I could see you've been whispering from inside the store.

Sorry,

I'm just practicing my dramatic monologue for our English class.

Ah... Is that so?

Where's a good place to drink here?

Somewhere quiet...

In your room.

So that I can go home too...

if it's ok sir.

Boring.

And it's still early.

I want something close to nature.

Come on, pay off your debt to me.

All right, I'll show you.

I bought some sandwiches you can eat if you're hungry.

It's beautiful here and so quiet!

Whoooo!

Thank you sir for liking it.

I'll come back here when I want to be alone...

Nice, wonderful!

Sir, where are you from if it's ok to ask?

It depends.

Depends on what?

If it's with my mom, I'm from Dubai.

With dad, I'm from Batangas.

I was born in the States and came back here after high school.

During school breaks, Dubai again.

Your parents are not together?

Yeah.

My fucking parents are happier being separated...

With their own families.

So I am like a ball they pass when they get tired.

You don't have any siblings?

With mom, one.

With dad, two.

But we don't mesh.

My thing is different.

I'll just get the other beers in the car.

Gee,

he drank a lot awhile ago...

Does he have a barrel in his stomach?

But he has no stomach...

Sir, will you consume all of that?

Hmm...

You may not be able to drive...

Don't worry, my can handle a dozen.

I only bought ten to make sure I can bring you home alive.

This is just my sixth can.

And why are you in such a hurry. It's quite early...

And it's so nice here.

Enjoy the place.

It feels so close to heaven.

That when you curse the heavens, you can definitely be heard!

Hey, God,

how are you?

Are you bored too?

Or do you simply enjoy messing with people's lives?

You're just nasty!

You create people just to subject them to misery.

Damn it...

Where's our fucking freedom to choose?

Aaaaah!!!

Do you know how jealous I am of you now, Liam?

Because you've been wanting to go home

and you have a family waiting for you.

And because of my envy,

I don't want to take you home yet.

For your parents to worry somehow...

For some parents to worry...

when my fucking parents don't even care on what continent I'm on...

or if I'm still alive.

They just let me spend their money as long as I don't stay with them longer than a day.

So here I am,

wasting my life in hatred and in wandering.

Did you know that I did drugs just to get their attention?

But no...

my dad just gives money to those who caught me

in exchange for a long-winded speech.

Then I will be deported to Dubai only to stay in a hotel

because my own mother doesn't want me to be there.

Fuck them!

Fuck them!

Fuck them all!

I feel so alone...

and unwanted.

Kiss me, Liam.

Sir.

I said kiss me.

I'll pay you if you want.

I have a lot of money.

I just want to feel somebody,

anybody.

Please...

Lebron's team lost.

Have you heard?

- Pheonix, moron. - Yeah.

- Indeed. - Pheonix is a strong team.

They beat Lebron's team.

The opponent is strong.

Amazing!

The Lakers even lost.

Will Lakers reach the finals?

Liam, son... aren't you going to the hotel?

It's late in the morning.

Your phone has been ringing.

I'll work, mom.

Fuck, brother, jerk that off in the bathroom...

Too stiff.

Too stiff.

You're dreaming of Ivana again?

Why do you pay attention to your brother's hard dick?

You're like faggots!

You are in the presence of grace.

Sorry, mom.

Liam take some champorado first before you take a bath.

I'll just eat at the hotel, mom,

we have free breakfast...

I'll be late.

Where have you been to come home nearly at midnight?

In heaven — at Mr. Heaven's. I delivered a report.

Hmm...

It's good that you still got a tricycle.

Yes, mom.

I'll take a shower now.

Jerk and off, jerk and off.

Whoever loses, can't jerk off!

You lose, you are not allowed to masturbate for one week!

Sure!

Sssh! What are you!

The kids are just having fun.

Why don't just they eat so they can finish their modules early?

As for you, Lauro, wear less perfume.

Wear less perfume.

The stench of that smell.

It's as if you don't work at the municipal hall.

Shut up!

You pay too much attention to everything.

Too annoying!

Too annoying!

How many hours, sir?

It depends.

Here's your key, sir.

One room please.

Do you have a companion?

Are you insulting me?

Am I too ugly to check in alone?

Who's with you?

There!

Don't look down on me!

Daddy, you're too weak.

Just one round and we're checking out right away?

But my chest hurts.

Just get back at your other younger customers.

Ah, daddy remember you promised me an iPhone...

Yes. On harvest day...

you call the tricycle now. I really feel bad.

Hey handsome, tricycle please.

Fetch one tricycle, sir Alvin.

Ahh!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir! Are you okay?!

Sir!

Sir Alvin, please help us!

Sir!

How many hours, sir?

How much for three hours?

350 pesos, sir.

How much for thirty minutes?

Just the same, sir.

Let's just go to my place.

Reception...

Good morning.

Were you able to sleep?

Yes sir...

You already had me and you still call me sir...

Ahm.. Do you need anything sir Harry?

I don't like your breakfast.

I want pizza.

Ah hmm... You want a delivery sir?

Yes.

But I want the two of us to eat.

Sir, I'm still on "duty"...

There...

Ask Isko first.

Tell him I'll just give him a tip.

Sir.

There... that's how you are.

When you get what you want, you start acting hard-to-get...

All right sir, I'll talk to Isko.

What kind of pizza?

I love pepperoni and cheese.

And lots of hot sauce.

All right sir Harry, I'll bring them.

Don't be too long.

I will miss you...

Hello! Miss Dang...

One large pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese.

Yes, now.

And also send hot sauce, one bottle...

Thank you.

Where's the guest?

Sir Harry wants some pizza delivered.

Then I'll deliver.

I really need some tips.

But he requests for me...

He requested or you volunteered?

You gay...

He did.

He said he would just give you a tip after.

Okay then.

Hey, is he mad at money?

Why?

I've been working here for about five years,

but it was only yesterday I experienced receiving a tip of two thousand.

That's almost our salary for two weeks!

My wife got excited.

She couldn't believe it was just a tip.

How much has he given you?

He's mad at me, isn't he?

That's why I'm showing off.

Ah... okay.

No problem. Go.

I'm still waiting for the pizza.

You follow it up in the kitchen and ask them to hurry it up.

That's right. Ok, you stay here.

Liam.

Yes?

Minimize your smile a little.

The wind might blow and you wince.

Nonsense— Bye!

Sir...

It's open.

Sir, my hands are full.

You looked like a snake bit you?

You have already tasted my cobra.

Let me help you.

Sir, what will you drink?

No need, I have two more cans of beer.

To relieve some hangover as well.

Let's eat.

How was your sleep?

It's okay but I woke up with a headache, so I took a shower.

It's almost gone. You?

I didn't drink beer.

Will you relax?

It's just me, ok?

I asked how was your sleep.

Ah, it's ok, sir...

Harry.

Please call me Harry even if it's just the two of us.

We're ok, right?

It's up to you... Harry.

Ahm... Harry, what is your birthday?

July 18, 1997.

Cancer of society.

Really?

Mine is October 8... Libra.

We have the same birth year... 1997.

Right.

Don't you have any friends?

Many.

I find them boring now.

I don't enjoy their trips anymore.

I've graduated from drugs, women and alcohol.

Relative?

Well, dad is an only child.

My grandparents are also dead.

Mom, I know she has three siblings.

The eldest died as a baby and the youngest,

was disowned by grandpa.

Disowned?

Maybe from inheritance.

I don't know the details.

I was young when I heard the story from grandma...

We were still in the States then.

Probably I was seven or eight.

I lived with my grandparents when my parents divorced.

But from what I know, my grandma died longing for her youngest daughter.

Then in less than a year, my grandfather followed.

When my grandparents died, that's when I lost the will to live.

My family has nothing but sad stories.

This?

I tried twice but I was always brought to the hospital just in time.

Too sad...

is it ok for us to change the topic?

Yeah.

When is your day off?

Tomorrow.

Why sir-Harry?

What is your number?

0907-978-6408.

Why?

Let's go out?

My treat.

Where do you want to go?

I haven't asked permission from my parents yet.

We'll let them know.

What? Why?!

What, why?

Won't you introduce me to your parents?

Sir... Harry,

they will surely ask...

who you are and why.

Then we'll answer.

Are you ashamed of me to be your boyfriend?

I'm not horrible.

Boyfriend? Huh? What?

Why, don't you like it?

Don't you like me?

Harry, wait...

I like you.

I think I'm liking you a lot.

But there is a problem...

You have a boyfriend?

No.

I have never been in a relationship.

They don't know...

...and my father will never accept that.

He will kill me.

How did you know?

Because I grew up beaten when I was young...

...because of my problems.

So I tried to be tough...

at home, at school.

Did you know that only Isko knows I'm gay?

That I only admitted to him?

I can only open up with him.

So even though I'm very proud...

of the handsome man in front of me now,

I'm not ready to introduce you to my world.

But it's us now, right?

That's another one.

Why?

Why me?

Because I like you.

Isn't that reason enough?

Aren't you just sad?

After one week, you will leave.

Even you don't know where you're going.

How about me?

Will I just be left cherishing the memory?

If I'll truly love you,

won't I just live in the hope...

...that we can be together for a long time?

There are too many stories like this on Wattpad.

What if I stay?

Stay where, here?

Yes, you have a lot of money,

but you will be bored too.

You are not used to being stuck in one place.

Then go with me.

And leave my family and my education?

Is that supposed to prove that I love you?

You don't want me to stay but you don't want to go with me,

so what then?

Answer me...

Why me?

The real reason.

I like you really.

I like you a lot.

Isn't that enough of an answer?

If you like a person and he likes you too,

there's a lot of possibilities to explore.

Harry, are you gay?

What?

Does it matter?

That's absurd, dude!

Lest you forget it's 2021!

Is that your basis before you love or accept someone?

No.

No.

Sorry.

I'm stupid to ask that, I'm the closet queen here.

I've had seven girlfriends and one gay relationship.

If that's being gay, I don't care.

I can't be restricted to a label.

All I know is, I'm human and I'm capable of emotions.

In fact, I loved them all.

Where are they now?

Who cares?!

They don't want me anymore, why would I want them?

Is that all?

Or you just get lost from their lives?

That's probably why I like you.

You're my antithesis.

What's that?

Opposite.

You want everything sure, with direction, with objective.

Life isn't like that.

For me, life is adventure,

an endless search for your purpose.

Allow yourself to be blown by the wind to where destiny wants to take you.

Because the more you fight it,

the more you will get played by fate.

You have money, you're free.

You can do that.

If I don't work, I can't study.

My father is just a simple municipal employee, Harry.

Mom is sick and is always in the hospital.

My siblings are all students of public education

and I'm not sure if they will even graduate from college.

We couldn't even have our house finished...

...because we don't have any savings.

My dream is not just for me, Harry.

I can't afford to be selfish.

How about us?

I do not know.

I do not know.

You, what happens to you?

After one week, where will you go?

Ok, let's try this.

One month.

I'll stay here for a month...

until such time that you can no longer afford to lose me.

Then we decide.

Just give ourselves a chance.

Am I that important to you?

Yes! Damnit!

I need you.

You make me feel good.

You make me smile.

You are not difficult to love.

That's too feminist!

Please slap me.

Why?

Perhaps I'm just dreaming.

I haven't brushed my teeth yet.

This is my most favorite taste...

Pepperoni and cheese.

And you are so ready to leave us for your mistress...

I need to leave now...

Out of my way, Melissa!

It can't be...

I won't allow this.

That's enough, Melissa...

We can't fix this.

Nobody leaves.

You will not be happy.

Kill me first, Lauro,

before I allow you to be with your other woman!

I endured it all...

Made myself deaf and blind even though everyone knew you have another woman!

Let me go, Melissa.

I love Beth.

We have been betraying you for a long time.

I do not care!

You bastard!

I left my family and a luxurious life,

I chose to be disowned by my father when I eloped with you...

...then this is the only thing you will repay me with?

For all the hardships I endured with you?

Is this what you call heaven?

Suffer!

If you get persistent,

I'll make sure you're both jailed

and I'll make sure you lose your job!

It's up to you...

Do what will make you happy.

But Beth is already waiting for me at the airport...

Have pity, let me go.

Airport?

Are you really leaving me?

You're not leaving,

- you beast! - Ouch!

You animals!!!

Damn you!!!

Mom... That's enough, mom...

Mom!

Mom... That's enough.

Mom... That's enough.

Dad, mom is fainting...

Mom!

Hurry!

Mom!

Mom!

Get her on the tricycle.

Hang on, mom...

Careful...

I chose to be disowned by my father when I eloped with you...

...then this is the only thing you will repay me with?

- You beast! - Ouch!

You animals!!!

Damn you!!!

(Honey Beth)

Handsome, one room...

Oh ma'am, you're with a minor. That's not allowed.

Of course not, he's 18.

What is your birthday?

October 11.

20...?

It's 18 not 20. Idiot!

What year were you born?

Aah...

Don't count anymore. You're not allowed!

You are so stupid.

I'll take you...

...behind the banana plants, it's free.

Hi, handsome.

Sir Harry, good morning. What's going on?

For yesterday.

Oh sir, thank you.

If my wife wasn't pregnant and about to give birth,

I would be ashamed to accept it.

That's nothing.

Ah, Liam?

He's off today, sir, didn't he tell you?

He said that.

I call his phone but he does not answer.

He probably slept late again as he's doing his thesis.

Is that so?

Isko, I will ask for a favor again.

Anything sir, as long as it's you who ask.

I'll ask for Liam's address. We'll meet outside.

Where to, sir?

I'll just ask him to accompany me.

I have something to buy.

Ok sir, I'll write it now.

Honestly, sir, we are not allowed to give the address of the staff,

but you are special.

Thanks. I owe you.

Take care, sir.

Hello... anybody home?

Who do you need?

I'm a friend of Liam.

Ah, my elder brother is in the hospital.

Did something happen to him?

Nothing. Our mother, she's there.

May I know where?

At the Holy Trinity.

On the highway just past the municipal hall.

Just ask around forf it.

- Thanks... - Okay.

I'm Harry.

I'm Josh, Liam's brother.

What is your mother's name?

Melissa.

Melissa San Jose.

I don't know which room she is in...

...because Tim and I went home last night, that's him, my brother too.

Liam and our father are on watch now.

Thanks again.

Who is that?

Harry. Liam's friend.

Since when did he have a rich friend?

You're right. I don't know.

Where is Melissa San Jose's room?

Melissa San Jose, room 304.

The elevator is right over there.

Third floor? Thank you.

Good morning.

Sir Harry!

How did you know I was here?

From Isko.

Father, sir Harry.

Sir Harry, my father.

Father, sir Harry, our guest at the hotel.

Nice to meet you.

Ah, thank you for visiting.

For your mother, Liam.

Thanks.

How is auntie?

She's better, thanks.

Liam, join your guest for a snack first as we have nothing to offer here.

I'm really pretty hungry. What about you?

We already ate from the canteen, thank you.

Father, I'll go with sir Harry first.

E... goodbye for now.

You kind of have an accent, where are you from?

- My roots are from Batangas. - Sir Harry is from America, father.

Oh, that's why.

Liam's mother is also from Batangas.

I am Kapampangan.

What is your last name?

Liam's mother might know.

Laperal, sir.

We'll go now.

Laperal?

Laperal?

Thanks for visiting...

...but I almost fainted from the tension early on.

You suddenly appeared.

I hope my father didn't notice I was panicking.

I worried.

You were not answering your phone.

Emergency.

We rushed my mother to the hospital and I left my phone at home.

What happened?

She had a mild stroke...

She and my father were arguing...

Why?

Another woman.

Your father is handsome too.

Is that an excuse to be a womanizer?

No, but there are just women, and men, who enjoy illicit affairs.

It's in their nature.

And when you look good, that's an additional factor.

How can I win over you on Q&A?

You speak good English and your answers are even better?

University of Hard Knocks.

And what is that this time?

There are things you learn outside of school that oftentimes are more precise.

Life is the real education.

Stop it now,

I didn't get enough sleep so your lectures will just go to waste.

Where do you want to eat as I'll be back home?

I have something to submit tomorrow.

I have to finish that.

All right, I'll bring you back before midnight.

What?!

If only you're not handsome.

Ok, what do you want to eat?

Halo-halo.

I heard you have the best halo-halo here.

Ok.

Turn left after the municipal hall.

Why is your halo-halo special?

Because it's extracted from cow's breast.

You're too funny.

She'll be fine.

Just avoid getting too tired and stressed.

I will just prescribe her medicine and vitamins.

You can be dismissed later.

Thanks, doc.

Missus, take care of your heart, huh?

That's a treacherous disease.

Thanks, doc.

I'll go ahead.

Why are you still here?

Your woman is waiting for you...

Beth has left me...

She has returned to Bangkok.

You can really afford to leave us for your woman.

I was just tempted, Mel.

Forgive me.

In the end, I still chose our family.

How many years have you been fooling me...

I chose to remain silent for the peace of our family.

You are not really contented...

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I just became vulnerable to temptation.

How dare you!

When I left mama and papa for you, I endured.

I chose you because I love you.

My parents died without me even seeing them.

I don't even know if they were able to forgive me.

Just for that, Lauro,

just for that, you shouldn't even think of hurting me,

betraying me and leaving me.

How can you forgive me?

Don't ask now.

As long as I live,

I will never forget the dishonesty of what you did to me.

I just put up with it for my kids...

...because I can't take care of them in my situation.

Mel,

I promise.

I will never be tempted again.

Go ahead.

Who was the visitor earlier?

I can hear you but I do not understand what you are talking about.

A guest of Liam at the hotel...

He brought fruits.

Do you want some?

Apple.

Wait, I'll wash one.

He said he's from Batangas but I did not ask where;

but his last name is Laperal.

Really?

I heard Maddie married a Laperal.

She met him in the States but he is a native of Batangas.

But Batangas is too big.

And a lot of Laperals.

And in the almost 22 years I haven't been able to go home,

I can't recognize the young people there anymore.

It's only on Facebook that I can hear about some of my childhood friends.

Mel,

why don't you catch up with your sister Maddie now?

After all, your mama and papa are gone.

At least you and your sibling can get along.

After what we did to her,

do you still hope my sister will forgive us?

Lauro, she is your girlfriend but you ran away and married me.

Because I felt you really are the one I love.

So hopefully you will be able to forgive me when the day comes.

We can still forget what happened.

Time helps to forget.

And perhaps over time,

Maddie's hatred has already dwindled.

Nothing will be lost if you find out.

What the-

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, you're hitting your son for being gay?

What are you, moron?

Dad!

You son of a bitch!

I don't know you.

Whoever you are, leave before you get hurt.

And don't show up here anymore.

You little devil here.

- Dad, enough please. - You have no shame!

You son of a bitch!

Dad!

You son of a bitch!

You haven't learned, you animal!

Dad, enough please.

You son of a bitch!

You will crawl! You son of a bitch!

Hey, you heard my father. Scram!

I think he finds you short, Tim.

Leave!

Leave!

You son of a bitch!

- Dad, please stop! - You son of a bitch!

- Lauro, that's enough! You might kill Liam! - Dad, please stop!

- Lauro, that's enough! You might kill Liam! - You shameless!

You're a plague! Queer!

Leave my house!

Dad, please stop!

Lauro!

Take all your clothes with you

because you can't come back here as long as I'm alive!

Dad!

From now on, you're no longer our family!

Lauro...

- have mercy on your son! - He is not my son, Melissa.

I have no child without shame!

Get out before I kill you!

Liam!

Get out!!!

Son!

Mom!

Son!

- Melissa! - Mom.

Mom!

Melissa!

Mom!

Have the tricycle ready!

Mom!

Hurry up!

Hurry up, dad!

Hurry up, dad!

Mom!

The family can wait outside.

Mom!

Melissa.

Melissa.

Doc.

After several tests,

the only thing that can save your wife's life now is to do the bypass.

Please do what is necessary.

Ok.

Damn youuu!

Why can't you leave us alone?

Leave me alooone!!!!

If you really are powerful,

hit me with a lightning!

Nooow!!!

Just kill me, damn you!!!

Just let me die...

(Mother will undergo a bypass)

(Harry)

(Harry: Are you ok? Please answer my call...)

(Harry)

(Harry: If you won't answer, I'll drive the car down the ravine!!!)

Thank you...

Where are you?

Here.

I'm talking to God again.

Please, Harry...

don't do anything that will hurt you.

But I'm hurting now.

I know. I'm in so much pain that I'm feeling numb.

Tell me you're alright...

Mom was rushed to the hospital again.

My brother texted that she is going to have heart surgery.

It's all my fault...

And it is your fault that your father is an asshole?

He can be a womanizer but you can't be gay?

Damn!

He's more sinful than us!

I'm just his child, Harry.

He is still my father.

Damn all the parents!

They've lived their lives. Why can't they allow us to live ours?

I don't know...

But I'll feel better if you'll go back to the hotel.

Please Harry...

Do you love me?

I love you.

I love you very much...

I love you too.

That's all I want to hear.

Easy now,

I'll drive back to the hotel.

I'll text you, ok?

Ok. Take care.

Bye.

Bye.

One, Tim, look.

Two, psst... hey.

Don't be a fool!

That's nothing compared to this.

Look. This is bigger than yours.

Hey! That's enough.

Go home first and take a bath.

Bring me a clean shirt,

I'm smelly.

Hurry up and watch over your mother...

...while I'll go around looking for a loan.

I will also check if our joint account still has any money.

Okay, dad. We'll go ahead.

Mama's boy.

Mama's boy.

Wouldn't you even ask how mother is?

How's mother's surgery?

Mom is safe.

Aren't you mad at me?

Come on, you are our brother.

Whatever you are.

It's a good thing we now have a sister.

Thanks...

Does it hurt?

No any more. I'm ok.

How's father?

We'll just take a shower and we'll watch over mom.

Father will be going around to borrow money.

I will also try to have a cash advance from Mr. Heaven.

I'll go ahead, I'm late.

Take care, sister.

I understand, sir.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

The devil ...who did that to you?

My father...

The devil... Don't you have a punching bag?

Why does your father always want to beat you?

Nothing...

he simply despises me.

If he were my father, I'll stab him.

Who were you talking to by the way?

Our boss.

I was asking for a cash advance to help with the hospital bills.

My mother had a surgery.

What did he say?

It's a pandemic.

The hotel is at a loss.

He said sorry for now.

He said it's good that we still have a job.

Actually...

oh, you know my wife is going to give birth, even if I wanted to help...

My God! You look awful.

Does it still hurt?

You want me to bring you to the hospital?

Never mind.

I'm ok.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Are you sure?

Ehm... good morning, sir.

Isko, may I speak with Liam?

Will you take his place for a while?

Sure, sure. The pleasure is mine...

Let's go?

Thank you. Your English sucks.

I feel that.

Does it hurt?

It's okay, really.

What's happening in the world?

Are you really sure you're ok?

It's not my bruises that hurt.

I'm used to father's punches.

But here, it's so painful, Harry.

My own parents cannot accept me for what I am.

How can I be happy?

Then go with me.

We love each other.

We can be happy together.

I have a lot of money.

I inherited more than five million from my grandparents.

We can go away.

Or we can do business too.

You have five million pesos?

What? No.

US dollars.

And I haven't touched that yet.

What I spend comes from my parents.

I get four thousand dollars from each of them as my monthly allowance.

That's why it's easy for you to spend like that...

Five million dollars...

Even if I sit at the counter my whole life, I won't earn that much.

But I'm not buying you.

I just want to assure you that money will not be a problem for us.

Alright.

But promise me first.

What?

You will not leave me.

I swear.

You won't leave me for anyone...

I promise...

on my grandparents' graves.

I never loved like this before Liam.

I feel like a new man.

Suddenly I'm beginning to dream and plan...

with you.

Harry, I love you.

You are the first and the last I will love.

But I couldn't leave without knowing my mother's condition.

I don't even know how we can pay...

No...

I just want to make sure mom is safe and I'll go with you.

Leave them five million pesos.

Is that ok?

Probably with that amount of money...

...your brothers can finish college

and there'll be money for your mom's medication.

You will do that for me?

If you didn't say you love me last night,

all that money will just go to my parents.

I love you...

more than anything in this life.

Thank you...

Thank you for coming into my life...

I love you more than life, Liam...

I love you so much...

Hey, do you have your father's account number?

I'll do the bank transfer now.

Ok... I will type it.

Here...

Really father, five million?

Is that how rich Liam's beau is?

Hush, your mother will wake up.

So rich.

We should call you mommy and daddy now.

We are rich now.

Tim and I can study at San Beda or Letran.

You fool!

When they find out that we are rich, we will have more relatives.

You're right.

He is literally buying my son...

Maybe not, dad.

Maybe he just really wants to help.

Besides Liam didn't ask to be gay.

Just accept it.

That's five million.

You will be working to death at the municipal hall.

You will not earn even a million.

Dad, I'll just ask.

Why are you so mad at gays?

Maybe dad got sucked by a gay and he was not paid.

You son of a bitch!

Do you remember your uncle Robin?

Your older brother who died in an accident when you were young?

My brother did not die in an accident.

He committed suicide.

His boyfriend cheated on him,

stole all his money and ran away with a woman.

My elder brother, Robin, couldn't handle that so he jumped from the building.

That's how scared I am of having a gay child.

I do not want any tragedy to happen to our family again.

But dad, Liam's situation is different.

He is the poor one and Harry is the rich guy.

I still need to know his person.

Maybe he's a member of a syndicate, that's why he's that rich.

I do not want your brother harmed.

That's easy, dad.

Google.

What's his name? Search it.

That's right. Find it.

His name is Harry Laperal.

Too many Harrys...

maybe he's Harry Potter, that's why he has a lot of money.

Laperal, you idiot.

Did you find him already? Harry Laperal.

Harry Laperal...

This.

Take a look at the photos.

Here he is, dad.

He is the one in the profile picture.

It's not fake.

Let me take a look.

But it seems like it hasn't been updated for years.

- 2018 was the last post. - Take a look at the photos.

My God!

What is this curse?

Why, dad?

No, not again.

We'll fight you this time.

You don't have to run away.

But you need to know something.

Let's go inside.

Sit down.

I need to talk to your mommy, mama?

Can you call her?

My mom?

Why?

You will know.

Call her.

What is it this time, Harry?

Somebody wants to speak with you.

Who?

Maddie...

Lauro?

Is that really you?

Well you look,

old and wasted.

Is it about Melissa?

How much does she need?

No...

even though my wife is in the hospital now, that's not what I called you for.

So what is it then?

Your son Harry and my son Liam...

they have a relationship!

Jesus Christ!

And you didn't stop them?

Today... I only found out yesterday.

Then stop them!

In Jesus' name, stop them!

What?!

Can I have my phone?

How dare you mess with my life!

Harry, son... listen!

Son?

Since when did you become my mother?

Son, listen!

LAURO IS YOUR FATHER!

YOU'RE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR OWN BROTHER!

I'm sorry, son...

I am so sorry...

FUCK YOUUUU!!!

FUCK YOUUUU!!!

FUCK YOU ALL!!!

Maddie was my girlfriend but when I met your mother,

my love turned to her.

Your grandfather disowned her when she chose to elope with me.

But I didn't know I got your aunt Maddie pregnant.

I didn't know that Harry is my son...

Dad...

Dad...

Dad...

Happy?

Yes, baby.

Happy anniversary, Baby.

Happy first anniversary, Baby...

Sir.

Thank you, sir.

You bastards!

Eric?!

When did you arrive?

Eric...

I endured several years of suffering,

all the grief abroad for you, you beast.

Then this is all you will repay me for?!

Eric, I'll explain...

I told you to watch over him so that I won't be traded for someone else...

You are the one I should have watched!

Snake!!!

I will kill you!!!

Ahh... Eric!

- That's enough, Eric... - Sir Alvin!

Eric! Eric...

I loved you, you animal!!!

Forgive me... Eric.

Forgive me...

Forgive me...

You are animals!

Beasts!!!

Eric.

That's sir Harry.

FUCK YOUUUU!!!

FUCK THIS LIFE!!!

Sir Harry?

Sir Harry!

Sir Harry!

I need your help here. Sir Alvin!

It's sir Harry!!!

Liam, sir Harry, we will rush him to the hospital! He committed suicide!

I haven't asked too much from You as a son...

I simply accept whatever you give me...

Including all the pain and loneliness...

But, I am begging you now...

My God...

Let Harry live...

Have mercy on him...

He has lived too long in sadness...

Don't let him die in this predicament.

If ever we have sinned against You..

You know that we did not intend it...

I am willing to surrender all of my dreams...

and all the things...

...that could possibly give me joy.

Just let Harry live.

I am begging You...

Liam...

Liam...

wake up, son...

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

When you were young,

when your father hurt you because of your clumsiness,

I was the one who hurt the most.

It seems that I take every blow he gives to your body.

I didn't know how to protect you or retaliate.

For some months I won't talk to your father,

I won't cook for him.

I will not prepare his uniform.

I let him know of my anger and hatred by not having sex with him

while I haven't forgiven him.

When you finished high school,

I saw a big change in you.

You have become tougher and no longer languishing.

Your father liked that.

He said, “I'm right, Mel.

Did I mention that our son is not gay?

It's a good thing I beat him.”

I was even more hurt, son.

Because I know how hard it is for you to hide how you really feel.

You are my child and I feel your every suffering.

Mother...

If you're hurting now, son,

I hope you know I'm hurting more.

Mother, what is my fault?

Why is it Harry's fate to play this game on us?

I wish Liam,

I know the answer so I can at least ease the pain you feel.

But if you are already burdened, son,

give everything to God...

He alone has all the answers to your questions.

Mother,

I'll be able to free Harry,

if He'll just let him live.

That's all I keep asking God for...

God has not been deaf to you, son...

Harry is alive.

Your brother is alive.

I'm sorry...

Next time you do that, advise me.

Then we can do it together.

I love you.

I love you too...

I love you more now that I know you are my brother.

The gods are probably laughing.

They succeeded in fucking up our lives.

No, Harry.

Destiny brought you to us so that you can be happy...

You now have a family and brothers.

How about us?

I still love you.

How can we avoid temptation?

We'll fight it.

We know it won't be that easy.

Harry, would you fall in love with me if you knew right away that I was your brother?

You wouldn't, right?

I guess so.

That will be gross.

That's why…

Let's just love each other as brothers.

We won't kiss?

We won't have sex?

I don't think I can.

Harry... don't.

Be careful...

Big brother.

Goodbye.

I'll always love you...

Me too.

I will never ever forget you.

Don't...

no one will forget.

It is forbidden to forget.

We will meet again in the next life.

There, nothing will stop us.
