Don't let them seize your land,
You inherited it from your ancestors,
- I won't let them, - Me too,
I was born here, I will die here,
What then will happen to you?
Never let them take it away from you,
That's your land,
I won't let them…
Your lot is a large one,
[gunshot]
Domeng was shot!
Pa!
Matthew, your father was shot!
- Domeng! - Pa!
Pa!
Call the police,
- Pa! - Did you see who shot him?
Yes, someone wearing a black bonnet,
Domeng! Domeng!
Domeng!
What happened?!
He was shot,
- Domeng! - Pa!
Papa! Papa!
Papa!
Papa! Papa!
I'm your godfather, Matthew,
I'll take care of you,
I'll introduce you to my family,
My daughter, Mica,
My wife, Amanda,
We'll be here for you…
Like you're our own,
Good afternoon,
Thank you,
It's okay,
This is Matthew,
He's gonna stay with us from now on,
Hi, Matthew,
My name is Amanda, Robert's wife,
She's our daughter, Mica,
Mica, say hi to Matthew,
Hi, Matthew,
Come inside,
How was your trip?
Hope it was good,
You must be hungry,
We have food for you,
Your room is ready too,
Come inside,
That was us when we got married,
And that is Mica,
She's cute, isn't she?
Hi, Matthew!
Don't worry,
This will be your new home,
We're your new family,
You will live here now,
Let's play!
Go ahead, I'll prepare your things,
You have a new son,
- Juice? - Sure,
Here you go,
You know what?
I think I like him,
Come here,
Why aren't you talking?
Are you mute?
Mama wants us to get close,
since you'll be living here,
Why are your eyes so sad?
Papa told me, you miss someone when your eyes are so sad,
Who do you miss?
My father,
I'm all alone now,
You're not alone,
I'm here,
I won't leave you,
We're your new family,
Success,
Growing up, I've always heard of that word,
Success,
Do good in your studies so that you can be a successful lawyer later on,
You need to do this and that,
to attain success,
But what accounts for success?
Wealth?
Possessions?
Is it the ability to wear designer labels,
expensive sports cars?
What people don't know is that success can even be in the simplest form:
Such as discipline, determination, good values…
Success is about passion,
Passion to do good, to succeed, to compete,
to make a change in this world,
All of this,
I saw it when I was young—
in the form of my father, Domeng,
He was a peasant leader,
He fought for the rights of his people,
He did not stand down even to the most powerful people,
He was passionate for justice,
As well as the man who took me in,
raised me to be the man standing in front of you,
Can I see yours?
He's one of the very best human rights lawyers in the country,
And this is no exaggeration,
He could've gone to other places,
gone to other companies to earn more,
but he chose to stay here in our town,
because he wants to help his people,
He is passionate about helping,
As future lawyers, that is what we should aim for,
To have that kind of passion in helping and fighting for justice,
Make your purpose clear and free from self-promotion,
Have that kind of passion in helping and fighting for justice,
To the Class of 2015,
May you find your purpose and have that passion for it,
Thank you,
I think this calls for a celebration!
Of course!
Here we go!
Congratulations!
- Here, Ma, - Thank you,
- Here you go, - Thank you, Pa,
Thank you very much, Matthew,
Congratulations, child!
Congratulations, Matthew,
You had a beautiful speech,
Thank you!
Congratulations, Matthew,
You graduated top of your class,
Thank you,
I owe this to you,
Matthew, don't forget your father's case,
Remember, our win paid for your studies,
It helped a lot,
Your sacrifices are a whole lot bigger,
You are worth all our efforts and sacrifices,
Of course, look at our topnotcher!
- Thank you! - Cheers!
Cheers!
Pa, we are actually going out with friends,
Wait, we thought you wanted to celebrate with us!
Ma, please? Just this time,
Let them be,
They want to be with their peers,
You really favored them, huh?
- Thank you, Pa! - Alright, go ahead,
Matthew, I know you'll take care of Mica,
Yes, I will,
- And don't get too drunk! - Yes,
Let's go!
Take care and behave!
Behave!
Careful!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Congrats, guys! - Congrats,
Congrats to us,
Thank you,
So what now, Mica and Matthew?
We have graduated already,
and neither has admitted anything,
Just say if you're together, or not,
Guys, we have nothing to say about us,
Nothing?
Nothing at all?
Don't make any issue out of it!
We don't believe you,
You're always together
and no feelings developed?
We see each other as siblings,
- Rejected! - Rejected!
Is it just you who feels that way?
I told you already,
He told you we're like brother and sister,
They don't want to admit it,
Guess there's really nothing,
Not even a chance?
Stop messing with us,
Let's celebrate,
Okay,
- Cheers! - Okay,
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Congrats to us!
This place is amazing!
Hey, slow it down,
Is it bad to drink?
Take it slowly, okay?
They might scold us,
Congrats!
You should be happy,
I'm single,
[laughing]
Let's just drink up,
Exactly,
Cheers!
Hell, yeah, Damn it!
That was so exhausting, wasn't it?
Drink hard!
Fix yourself,
Let's drink more, Matthew!
They might hear you,
So be it, I've graduated already!
I told them I'd watch over you,
- Fix yourself, - Let's drink more!
Let's drink some more,
Hey, stay quiet!
What you said earlier, is that true?
What about?
That you see me as a sister,
We are siblings, aren't we?
Snap out of it, Mica,
Well,
I don't see you that way,
I love you, Matthew,
I always have,
I've never told anybody but,,,
It's the truth,
I love you,
What? You won't answer?
I love you, Matthew,
- You must sleep, - I hope—
You love…
My god…
[knocking]
Mica?
Mica,
Oh my god,
Mica, wake up,
Mica,
My head hurts,
I told you not to get drunk,
Good thing, you were with Matthew,
What happened?
Ma…
I think I admitted it last night,
What?
Admitted what?
That I like him more than a brother,
Mica,
Mica, he's almost your sibling,
We raised the both of you together,
I see him as a son, You know that, right?
I know that, Ma,
But I can't help it,
I love him,
Alright,
I will still support you,
Matthew is a good kid,
I'm sure he'll never hurt you,
These books have extremely helped me,
I'm sure they'll help you too,
Thank you,
- Thanks again, - You're welcome,
I don't want this anymore,
Why do we even have to take the bar exam?
I'm just so tired,
You can do that,
We can't be legitimate lawyers, if we won't take it,
Tell me which part you're struggling at,
In everything!
My head is full,
Information overload!
You're lucky you're smart,
That's why Papa likes you more than me,
What are you talking about?
That's not true,
Okay?
That can't be, You're their child,
It's true,
They've always wanted me to be as smart as you,
I'm not smart,
Imagine, the daughter of the top human rights lawyer in town is not smart,
That's why Papa is prouder of you,
He is proud of you,
How did you know?
Did he tell you?
He did last time when he handed down his review books,
See?
He gave his old books to you and not to me,
Will you read them?
You never know,
I know you,
As for me, I study hard to get high grades,
For sure, when you try a little harder,
your grades could be higher than mine,
Just review,
Matthew…
Yes?
What happened last night when I was drunk…
You were just drunk,
I meant what I said,
Mica…
I love you, Matthew,
I see you as a sister,
No, I don't believe you,
The way you take care of me…
The way you look at me…
I know, there's something in there,
Do you think your parents can accept us?
Can they accept what we want?
What would they say?
Uncle Robert?
I don't care,
I already told Mommy that I love you,
For sure,
Papa would accept us as well,
Mica, what the hell!
Don't do that in public!
Hurry up!
Okay, okay,
Mom and dad might scold us,
Hurry,
Come on,
Good morning, sir, Good morning, ma'am,
Good morning,
- Good morning, Pa, - Good morning,
- Good morning, Ma, - Good morning,
You came home late,
- Ma, Pa, I have— - Sorry, It's just that…
We didn't notice the time spent studying,
Let's come inside first, Come in,
Let's go,
Have some coffee,
Dolores, coffee for the kids, please,
My child, you were about to say something,
- Yes, Ma, last night— - Yeah, Mica had…
…high scores in our practice tests,
Yes, Ma,
I'm getting better with my scores last night,
That's fantastic! Keep it up!
Don't be complacent,
The bar exam is different,
Yes, Pa, I'll go upstairs now,
I'm tired, Ma,,,
- How about your coffee? - I’m good,
- Sure? - Yes,
I'll go upstairs too,
Excuse me,
Go ahead,
Continue tutoring her,
Yes,
[mumbling]
Mica, what are you doing here?
Someone might see you,
Mica!
Why did you stop me earlier?
What do you mean?
When I was about to tell them what's going on between us,
They might hear you!
And so what?
It's the truth, isn't it?
What's keeping you from telling them?
I don't want to hear bad things from other people,
You know this house,
News spread like wildfire,
I don't care what they will say,
I am not yet ready to tell them,
Especially to your father,
- Tell me why! - I don't want to disappoint him,
He fended for me…
only for me to what?
Screw his daughter?
I'm sorry,
Just give me time to tell them,
I should be the one to tell them,,,
because I'm the guy,
Please?
Okay, but do it soon,
Leave now before they see you here,
Matthew is a good example to our daughter,
I agree,
It's nice that someone teaches and helps Mica,
Matthew is a good person and he's kind,
I forgot to tell you something,
That night Mica got drunk…
What?
- What about? - Wait,
Dolores!
- Yes, Ma'am? - Give us some snacks,
Hold on,
What happened?
Well…
Apparently, our daughter confessed,,,
her love for him,
Mica confessed her love for Matthew?
I won't let that happen,
Thank you,
But why?
Because…
Because they're siblings,
Robert, I treat Matthew as my own…
But we can't control their feelings,
What did Matthew say?
He said he sees her as a sister,
Hey!
Why don't you study?
Come here,
I don't want to study anymore,
I know I won't pass my first take,
Mica, someone might see us,
So what?
Stop it!
We discussed this already,
Mica,
please,,,
let's study first,
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready,
Oh, my god! Matthew, we're lawyers!
I told you, You can do it!
Wait, let's check if you're in the top ten,
There's no need,
At least, we passed,
Oh, my god!
Oh, my god! Matthew,
Seriously?
You're top one!
Oh, my god!
Hey,
Kids, oh, my God!
I just saw the results! Congratulations!
Thank you, Ma!
You're so good!
I can hear how happy you are from outside!
- Thank you, - And you! Top one!
Thank you,
Your father would be very proud,
Does he know now?
I'm so excited to tell him!
I'm sure he's waiting for the results in his office,
Wait a minute!
Speaking of… Here you go!
Hello, Pa?
Hello, Ma! Where are the kids?
I'm with them, You're on speakerphone,
Congratulations to the both of you!
I'm so proud of the both of you,
especially you, Matthew,
Thank you!
Top one in the bar exam!
Robert!
Congratulations to Matthew and Mica,
- Follow to the house, Michael, - I will,
Thank you, I'll see you!
- Congratulations! - Thank you,
Michael, don't forget to follow!
- I will, - See you,
This calls for a celebration, Tell your mom to fix lunch,
Yes, Pa, Don't forget our gifts,
Of course, both of you deserve it!
Thank you pa!
I'm on my way there from the office, I'll see you soon,
- Alright, Bye, Pa! - Bye, Pa!
I'll prepare now before your father gets here,
So, kids,
Have you been eyeing companies?
Pa, let them enjoy the moment first,
Ma, they must not be complacent, or they'll get outrun,
I was thinking of resting for six months,
How about you, Matthew?
What's your plan?
Being the Top 1 might go to waste if you will just take a break,
Perhaps next week, I'll look for a job,
There's no need for that,
I'll set up an interview with Michael,
You can work for us,
You've always wanted to become a human rights lawyer, right?
Yes,
That's unfair,
You offered him a job, How about me?
- Robert! - Michael!
- Hello, everybody, - What a coincidence!
- Nice to see you, Michael, - Same here,
Have a seat,
- This is for you, - Oh, thank you,
No need, I just passed by,
Kids, I want you to meet Michael,
my long-time coworker and friend,
- You know Amanda, - Of course,
Michael,
Hi, Amanda, How are you?
Long time no see,
I know, I'm doing great!
I miss hanging out with you,
We'll do it soon,
Is this the child of Domeng, your old client?
He is,
You're all grown up now,
- Sir, - No need, Sit down,
You know my father?
Yes, he was Robert's client a long time ago,
They were always together when Robert was fighting for your land,
In fact, you look exactly like him,
Perhaps, that's why Robert is fond of you,
Michael, I'm setting up an interview for Matthew,
I want him to come work for us in the firm,
Of course!
Anything for Domeng,
And Robert's excited for you,
As he should,
Matthew is such an intelligent boy,
Your firm would be very lucky to have him,
I'm sure of that!
Anyway, I have to leave,
My wife is waiting for me in the car,
- Send my regards, - I will, Thank you,
See you soon!
Back to eating,
Thank you,
Come inside,
When you're on top of the bar exam,
that calls for a drink!
We just had dinner,
That's different,
This is different, It's something else,
Heart-to-heart talk,
One lawyer to another,
When your father was still alive,
we usually drank…
When we were hanging out or when the case was rolling well,
I recall having you as our visitor,
Your father always invited me for a drink,
Why?
I just remembered what Michael said…
about your resemblance to your father,
Does it still hurt when you think of him?
Of course,
Me too,
I miss Domeng,
Were it not for those selfish fools,
we never would have lost him,
What do you mean?
Matthew, this is the perfect time,,,
that you learn why your father died,
Wasn't it a terrorist attack?
No, That was a coverup,
It was the opposing company of your father's,
Your father was a fierce leader,
That opposing company wanted to seize their land,
So your father built an organization and I offered to represent it,
I offered to represent it,
You see, Matthew…
I'm good at my job even when I was young,
Your father and I got along, much to the opposing company's dismay…
so they decided to fight dirty,
I was shocked when I received Michael's call…
with the news that Domeng was shot…
By two men,
From a motorboat,
When I got there,
I saw you,,,
holding your dead father,,,
crying,
Domeng!
- What happened? - Domeng was shot,
They are all cruel,
Matthew…
Your anger won't take you anywhere,
If you want to avenge his death,
then be a human rights lawyer, like I am,
We're becoming too poetic,
We came here to drink and we'll do that,
Cheers!
You resemble your father a lot,
All the more I remember him,
My achievements are all because of you…
for taking me in, for taking care of me,
I owe everything to you,
No, Matthew,
I can't neglect Domeng's son,
I remember him more,
- Do you miss him as much as I do? - I do,
Since I look so much like him…
Can I…
replace him?
Wha—
Where did you go? It's late,
Ma…
I just went out with Matthew for a drink,
An extension of the celebration!
That's nice,
You two bonded?
Yeah,
Our children make me proud!
We just have one child,
Robert, Matthew is our child too,
We've raised him since he was young,
I treat him as my son,
But you allowed your child to fall for him,
Robert?
Wait a moment!
Wait!
I'm tired, Ma, I'll go to sleep,
It's been a while and we don't get to spend time with each other,
- You're always busy— - Ma, I'm exhausted and drunk,
I'm sleeping,
Next time,
Matthew, wake up,
Matthew,
Wake up,
What are you doing here?
Mommy is worried,
You didn't go down for breakfast,
It's lunch now and you're still in bed,
What happened to you?
Your dad invited me for a drink,,,
and we got drunk,
But Papa is not drunk,
Really?
Yes, he's sober,
He woke up early for work,
Dig in,
Mama sent the food for you,
Thank you,
Matthew…
Oh?
When do you plan to tell them?
Tell what?
What's going on between us?
Mica…
you know I'm not yet ready,
It's been too long!
How much longer before you're ready?
One year? Two years? Ten years?
Mica…
You're something, Do you really love me?
I do,
Why do you look hesitant?
Mica,,,
I'm dizzy and I just woke up,
I was drunk,
I'm confused,
You say you love, but you don't show it,
You can't even hold, or kiss me!
What's the matter?
Hold yourself together,
I'm scared of what people would say,
Why are you so scared?
If you truly loved me,
you wouldn't think of them,
Mica,,,
You know I love you,
Give me more time to tell your parents,
Mica,
Mica, my child,
Are you okay? Why are you crying?
Ma, it's Matthew,
Did you fight?
Something happened to us, that time we came home late from the review,
So he likes you,
What's the problem? Why are you crying?
I'm so confused!
He doesn't want to tell you, or to anyone,
He asked for time, but it's been too long,
If anything, he became distant after that night,
Do you want me to talk to him about it?
Hi, Pa, Ma,
I'm sorry it's been a while since I last visited,
I got busy with reviewing,
Everything is worth it,
I'm a lawyer now,
I didn't expect to be the top-notcher,
It's such a waste you're not here,
I miss you so much,
What are you doing here?
Same as you,
visiting Domeng,
About last time,,,
- I apologize, - Don't mind it,
It was the alcohol,
Can I ask you something?
What is it, Matthew?
Why did you push me away?
As I should,
It was improper,
Why improper?
I'm not that kind of person,
I think you're not like that as well,
But I saw you with my father,
What are you saying?
Like you said,
you always drank with my father,
Right?
I saw the two of you kissing,
You were too young then,
It was just your imagination,
Then why did you kiss me back?
We were both intoxicated,
You were not, Don't deny it,
This is not going anywhere,
I'm in love with you!
Matthew,
I see you as my son!
That's not true,
I notice how you look at me,
You still remember my father,
Am I not enough to take his place in your heart?
Matthew, I'm not—
I have my own family,
Don't fool yourself!
Like how you fool yourself,
I know who I am and what I am,
What about Mica?
I did it for you,
Matthew,
I love my family,
Robert—
May I come in?
Let me help you,
I used to just help you with your school uniform,
now you're off for a job interview!
Thank you,
I want you to always know, how proud we are,
Your father himself would have been prouder,
Thank you,
Were it not for you, I wouldn't have been here,
It's not a big deal,
They were close friends,
so Robert took you in,
Thanks again, I'll go ahead,
Wait, Mica told me something about the two of you,
Don't worry,
It's fine with me,
I'm in favor of you,
You're not mad?
Why would I?
How about Rob—
How about Papa? Does he know?
Not yet,
Mica told me you want to tell him yourself,
I'm just afraid that he would get mad at me,
How can he get mad with his favorite?
Let's continue our talk later,
You might be late,
- Alright— - By the way…
Once you come back, can you go to Mica in her room?
She's sulking,
You're the only one who can get her out,
Alright, I will try,
Thanks,
Thank you too,
Excuse me, miss,
I'm here to meet with Atty, Michael Pineda,
Come here,
He's looking for Atty, Pineda, Is he inside?
Yes, ma'am,
Come inside,
Thank you,
Sir, someone's looking for you,
Come in,
Matthew, how are you?
- I'm good, - Have a seat,
Matthew, I'll be frank with you,
This is more of a formality since you are Robert's adopted son,
Thank you, Attorney,
But I don't want to get hired because of connections,
No need to worry about that,
Everybody knows you as the topnotcher,
Your integrity won't be compromised,
In fact, you're doing us a favor for choosing us,
We could use a protege like you,
Poor people need you more,
Can we rely on you?
Yes, you can,
[knocking]
Come in,
- Michael, - Robert!
Are you done with the interview?
Of course!
Or else, someone might snatch the top one in the board!
Matthew,
I'm so excited to work with you,
Thank you, sir,
[knocking]
[knocking gets louder]
Mica,
Can we talk?
If you don't want other people to know,
we have nothing else to talk to,
Mica, you know the reason,
Why are you so concerned with other people?
I don't want to disappoint your father!
You always talk about Papa,
Why are you so scared?
Hold on,
Why? Don't you like it?
Let's keep it easy,
I still respect you,
But I'm ready,
I've always wanted this,
I told you,
Mica!
If you really love me,
you would do this for me,
But…
What are you doing in my daughter's room?
Alright, everyone,
I asked for all of you to introduce Atty, Matthew Santos,
He graduated at the top of his class,
And he's this year's topnotcher,
I'm sure he'll be a great asset to our firm,
For your first assignment,
you'll be assigned to Atty, Delos Reyes' current case,
- With Uncle Robert? - Yes,
He needs help, but is too stubborn to ask for it,
I figured that since you're his stepson,
it would be okay for you to help him,
- Attorney! - Michael,
I assigned Atty, Santos to be your junior associate
for the case you're working on,
There's no need, Atty, Pineda,
I work alone,
Attorney, we all need help sometimes,
I'd be reassured if two great lawyers will handle that case,
Is there a problem if I assign him to you? There's no problem, Michael,
Follow me to my office,
I have some documents for you to sort out,
Back to work!
Follow me to my office,
See these?
Study these for the deposition,
And here, take it to the paralegal,
Ask for help,
I need that as soon as possible,
Is there a problem?
None, Attorney,
I'll go now,
I'll go now, Attorney,
Okay, Take care,
We're leaving, Attorney,
Take care,
Atty, Santos, I'll go now,
- Okay, sir, - I’ll see you,
Come in,
Attorney,
I'm done,
Good,
Put them there,
Now finish these,
Go now,
[knocking]
Come in,
I finished everything,
Did you want my approval to go with that?
Go look for it somewhere else,
I don't have time for that,
Are you taking things too personally?
I don't know what you're talking about,
Tell me I'm wrong,
You're making things hard because you're angry at me,
Because I'm in a relationship with your daughter,
Matthew, listen to me,
Whatever it is going on between you two,
I'm out of that,
My daughter is an adult,
- She can make her own decision, - Bullshit!
Excuse me?
Why don't you admit your feelings?
I know you like me,
If you'll continue spewing lies,
you better get out and go home,
I don't have time for this,
Talk to me!
Are you out of your mind?
What's happening to you?
Just admit that you like me…
that you love me!
Matthew, listen closely,
I have a wife and a daughter,
A wife…
that you don't love,
Okay!
If you really love your wife,
why did you have an affair with my father?
We didn't have an affair,
Okay,
Lie to yourself,
I know what I saw,
I know what I felt when you kissed me, that night,
I know you like me too,
Why do you insist that I like you?
Listen carefully,
I don't like you—
You're disrespectful!
What's happening to you?
Why can't you acknowledge who you are?
Until when will you fool yourself?
And your family?
So, what now?
What do you mean?
What about Mica?
Should I end our relationship?
Don't, Don't,
I don't want to see my daughter hurt,
What?
You want us to continue?
That would be a burden for me,
Matthew, Matthew,,,
I'm begging you,
don't quit your relationship,
I know my daughter,
I can tell that she really likes you,
What about us?
No one should know,
What would other people say,
especially Amanda,
when they knew that one of the best human rights lawyer is gay,
let alone sleeping with his adopted son?
Matthew…
We need to keep this as a secret,
for the both of us,
You came home late,
- Good evening, sir, - Good evening,
Ma, we had to finish stuff in the office,
Yes, you know Uncle Robert, he's a workaholic,
Well,,,
Sleep now,
We have more stuff to do tomorrow,
I'll go now,
- Alright, - Good night,
Good night,
Let's go!
Matthew, we'll be working late tonight,
We need to complete the requirements for the client,
Alright,
How much longer until you finish that case?
They haven't released a date for the hearing,
Then why don't you just use your connections to expedite the process?
You know I don't do that,
But that's exactly what you did for Domeng,
Used your connections,
Pa, Matthew and I have something to say,
What is it?
We've been in a relationship since our review days,
I'm glad,
Finally, you're together,
I'm sure people will be glad as well,
Finally,
Until when should I continue my relationship with Mica?
For as long as you can,
I also love Mica as a sister,
It hurts that I'm cheating on her,
Let her enjoy what you have now,
Eventually,
we will slowly,
let her fall out of love,
How about your wife?
I'm not leaving Amanda,
Why?
Do you see all of this?
Everything I have, they came from Amanda, and her family,
I would not attain this without her,
So you married her for money?
What do you know?
It's difficult to be like this during my time, Matthew,
We were treated as social scourge,
I would not be enjoying the good of life,
I'm sorry,
I'm just tired of hiding what we have,
I know it's exhausting but it's needed,
I know it hurts, but we're together, aren't we?
Girls,
What are you doing there?
It's late at night,
Sit down first,
You look too serious,
What happened?
My daughter will say something,
Pa…
I'm pregnant,
What do you mean?
What else could it mean?
I'm pregnant, and you're the father!
You have no shame after all I did to you!
- This is what you'll do? - Robert!
Stop it! Enough!
Stop it, We can't do anything about it!
What are you saying?
We will now arrange for their wedding,
Wedding?
Yes, wedding,
What do you think?
What do you want?
Our very first grandchild to become a bastard?
What will they say about our daughter?
That she's a flirt and got pregnant out of wedlock?
You know what's worse?
That people would refer us as the messed family we are,
who's marrying their own children!
It's incest, Amanda!
Well, Robert,
that's better than other people saying bad things about your daughter,
Anyway, people know that Matthew's our adopted son,
Then we can say that we've fixed their marriage since they were young,
What's the problem?
- But Amanda— - My decision is final,
You can't break that,
Mica and Matthew will get married as soon as possible,
unless you have other reasons,,,
for them not to,
Matthew, talk to me, please,
Talk to me, please,
Mica, I'm sorry,
I need space,
Is it okay? I'll get some air,
I need to think things clearly,
You also went here,
What are you doing here?
You always ask that,
Am I prohibited from visiting your father's grave?
How about you?
What are you doing here?
I told Mica,
I just need space to clear my head,
I want to think peacefully and alone,
Do you want me to leave?
No, it's fine,
It's better that you're here,
What a mess we made,
I'm in love with you too,
The first time we met here,
you told me you love me,
Now I'm telling you, I love you too,
It's difficult but I can't help it,
My heart cries out for you,
Mica!
Mica, please,
You're shameless!
Let me explain, please…
Since when?
Since when have you been fooling us?
Let me explain,
You're so dirty!
You're disgusting!
I can't believe my own father is having an affair with my boyfriend!
I thought you became distant because you don't like me anymore,
All along, it's my father you like!
You're so disgusting!
I didn't want to hurt you,
Fine! Let's discuss this,
Who's better in bed?
Me, or papa?
Or is it like father, like daughter?
Is that it?
Is that why you double-crossed us?
It's not like that,
I've always wanted to end our relationship but your Papa hindered me,
He doesn't want you to get hurt,
Wow!
Wow! I need to thank you for being concerned with my feelings!
- Please… I'm sorry, - You're filthy,
I can't hide my true feelings,
And who I really am,
You still did it, You hurt me!
You made a fool out of me all this time!
Matthew, you have to choose,
Who do you love more?
Mica, please, don't make me do this,
I will, and you need to choose,
Papa, or the baby I'm carrying,
Mica…
I'll give you one last chance,
I don't want to lose the father of my child,
Think about it until tomorrow,
Please…
I'm so stupid,
- I'm so stupid, - Amanda,
Deep inside, I've known for so long,
I've noticed a lot,
I've seen a lot,
But I chose to dismiss them,
I chose not to put meanings of my own,
Every touch, every stare…
You don't look at me that way,
You don't even touch me that way!
I knew from the moment you asked me to marry you,
I knew you were just marrying me for my family's money,
I still chose to dismiss that,
I still chose to forget it, because I love you!
Even if I know, from the bottom of my heart, that you're gay,
I still chose to love you!
I still chose you…
I still chose to have a family with you,
Because I thought I could change you,
I thought your feelings would fade away,
I let your affair with Domeng slip away,
Yes, I know your affair with Domeng,
You thought I didn't?
I feigned not knowing it,
I still chose to forgive you,
All because I love you!
I love you that much!
It's my choice to accept Matthew into our home,
Because I love you!
But to think you would go this low, to have an affair with a child you raised,
who happened to be your daughter's boyfriend, you're disgusting!
- I'm sorry, - You're disgusting!
- I'm sorry, - No! No!
I've been hiding these feelings, and what I really am,
I tried…
Amanda, I tried to love you,
I tried to love you…
I tried to see you a certain way…
Feel you a certain way…
but I just can't!
I can't—
I can't change who I am,
Sorry, I'm sorry,
No!
- No! No! - Sorry,
No!
I don't need your apologies!
Right now, we're going to keep this as a secret…
from everybody including every person in this house,
I won't let you ruin my name, Do you understand?
Stop it,
Do you understand?
- I can't pretend anymore, - No! No!
You will act like the perfect family man that you used to be,
And I will bring Mica and Matthew…
I'll arrange for their wedding in the States,
That's the right thing to do,
No one should see her pregnant,
Amanda,
- I'm sorry, - You can't change my mind,
Don't do this!
Amanda, please don't do this!
You can't do anything,
Amanda, please!
I don't give a damn about what you feel!
- My decision is final! - Sorry!
Please forgive me,
What are you doing here?
I owe you so much, Please forgive me,
I took you in as my own son,
Even if I knew about Domeng's affair with Robert,
Even if you're Domeng's son,,,
the man I share my husband's heart with,
Auntie,,,
Can you imagine how painful that is?
Please forgive me and my father,
You've always been my mother,
I ask for your forgiveness,
I’m begging you,
Matthew…
I want to ask you one thing,
Mica's happiness, and your baby,
Just that, Give that to me,
Marry her,
Forget about everything,
No one must know,
Live in another country, We can do that,
Just promise to forget my husband,
I promise, Auntie,
What matters most now is our baby,
I will stand up for this,
I promise you,
You wanted to talk to me?
Mica asked me to choose between you and her with our baby,
What did you say?
I wasn't able to answer,
She will wait until tomorrow,
Have you decided yet?
I have,
Matthew,,,
Matthew,
Let's end this,
Let's end this…
Are you sure?
Is that your decision?
It is,
It's difficult but I need to,
I don't want my child to grow up like me without a father,
Wasn't I enough?
As a father, you did not,
But we both know we didn't see each other like that,
The funny thing is…
I thought of leaving everything just for you,
Do you truly love Mica?
That's not important now,
What's important is the welfare of our child,
Sir! Sir!
Ma! Ma!
Papa!
Ask for help!
Papa!
Ask for help!
To my Mica,
I ask for your forgiveness and your mother's,
I don't know if you can still forgive me
but I need you to know that I never wanted to hurt you,
I don't know how to explain it or where to start…
but always remember
that you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me,
That is why it pains me the most that it's you I hurt immensely,
I tried to hide it,
I really did,
I hid who I really am,
I pushed myself to think I am otherwise,
We just can't prevent the truth and what our hearts feel,
It was never my plan to have an affair with Matthew,
Worry not, he chose you because he loves you,
It's not his fault,
Blame me for what happened to us,
It was all me,
He reminded me of Domeng so much,
I gave in to my feelings and did not think of you and your Mama,
I hope you could give Matthew a chance for the sake of your child,
Leaving you and your mother was one
of probably the hardest things that I needed to do,
Everything was a mess because of me,
I don't want you and your mother to get hurt because of me,
Just always remember that your Papa always loves you,
You will always be in my heart,
Love,,,
Papa,
Forgive me,
I will carry your love and understanding,
I love you and Mica so much,
I hope you can forgive me,
Goodbye,
