♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪
♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday… ♪
Jordan,
♪ Happy birthday to you, ♪
Astrud,
What are you doing here?
Astrud, Wait, Astrud…
Zoey,
I know I'll always be like this,
I don't know how to be cool sometimes,
To be the right person for you
or to fit in with your friends,
But I know in my heart
that I love you,
And I know that you love me, too
Ellis is proposing, shh!
- It looks fake! - Is there a diamond?
Is that a diamond or just zirconium?
No, Ellis,
Asshole! Stop it!
What is wrong with you?
Ma'am, you picked out the perfect fabric,
It's a black-out fabric, If we make this into a curtain,
sunlight won't pass through at all,
Look, it's perfect,
And if you like, I can put sparkles on the front side here,
here, and here--
To blind your snooping neighbors!
What do you think?
Are you mocking me?
I'm not looking for a curtain,
I wanted you to make me a dress,
Oh! A dress?
Ma'am, you're such a genius!
How did you know the secret of the masters?
Rajo, Fern, Michael Cinco--
they all use this type of fabric so it retains its form,
Ma'am, I have an idea,
Um,,, I'll make you a dress-- Whatever design you like,
And then we can use the leftover fabric to make a curtain!
How about it? Matchy matchy!
Yellow on yellow! Beautiful!
- So glam! - Actually, this is gold,
Ah--
I think it's more of a yellow hue,
It really complements your skin,
Are you saying I look jaundiced?
Hon, let's go, Let's try the couture shop next door,
No, ma'am, please!
Why don't we compromise?
Let's just call it mustard, ma'am! Not yellow,
Mustard--Ma'am!
Hang on! I can't lose that sale!
So? Still on that grind mindset?
You know what, let's face it,
The brand does lack focus, It's a tailoring shop,
we make curtains, and we make uniforms, too,
Come on, Curtains and uniforms are our bread and butter,
That's what pays us,
I know!
But actually, our baby products are a big hit,
Especially the teddy bear and panda?
- I booked a lot of nurseries yesterday, - Oh?
You should have come with me,
I got free drinks from the boys at the motorcycle shop,
Tequila Thursdays, remember?
Didn't you tell me it was Tequila Tuesdays?
What? No, its Mojito Tuesdays,
Mondays, Margarita Mondays then Whiskey Wednesdays,
Then yesterday it was Tequila Thursdays,
Today, it's Bacardi Fridays,
I've got nothing planned for tomorrow,
I'm taking half the day off,
Because there's free booze at a wedding in Tagaytay,
You know what it is?
A queer wedding,
It's Andrew's wedding, My friend who's a waiter?
Remember him?
Didn't know he was queer till he fell in love,
My Raffy doesn't want to go, Him being homophobic and all,
So--
I have an extra seat for Friday,
Hey, are you listening?
- Um, - I said I've got a plus one,
Not interested, Dad and I are gardening,
- Gardening? - Mm-mm,
Girl, this is free booze, Come with me!
I'm busy!
Ahh…
The chef at the wedding…
is Jordan,
What's their,,,
color motif?
One mention of Jordan, and you're asking about the motif,
Let me just remind you, girl, that was two months ago,
This is proof that you haven't moved on,
Stop pulling my leg,
Is Jordan going to be there or not?
He will, He's really the chef,
Andrew caught a rich boyfriend so they can afford to hire a chef,
You know Jordan's chef to the stars now,
Now I'm having second thoughts about bringing you with me,
Are you sure you're supposed to be seeing him?
What do you think I should wear?
I have a dress studded with sequins, The whole thing's covered with it,
Or should we go for
a classy champagne? What do you think?
Sequins?
- Yeah! - Don't do sequins, come on!
- It's gorgeous! - This is a wedding,
- It's not a carnival, - All the way to the back,
Wear something else, No sequins,
Whatever,
Jordan, Sequins,
It looks like where here, Dad,
Yup, we're here,
App says we're here,
Swanky venue,
Dad, you can drop me off here, We don't have to go in,
Here is good, I'm getting off,
Don't you want them to see my brand new ride?
Come on, Dad, don't cry about it,
By the way, Vicenta's my ride home, so don't worry about me,
Are you sure, honey?
I thought I might go look for plants here,
You're buying more plants? Don't you need to start packing?
You're moving to the townhouse today,
Dad, I've been living there for a week,
Come on, Join me there,
Maybe next time, I'll find the time,
You always have time to buy a new pot of kalachuchi,
Please, Dad, Move in with me, I don't want to be by myself,
I'm lonely,
What's the matter with you, Dad?
Oh, honey, We've got lots of beautiful memories at the apartment,
Not this again, Dad,
You're talking about memories with Mom,
Woo! You're so corny,
Her wedding ring's still clogging the sink, remember?
Mm, see? That's why you don't want to leave there,
Come on, Dad, Come live with me,
Move by next week or I'll have you kidnapped,
Anyway, Dad, I can't have this conversation right now,
- Gotta go, Thank you, Dad, Love you! - Okay, Love you!
- Be safe, - Bye! Get home safe,
- Go straight home! - Yeah,
Don't drive around,
- Don't stay out too late, - Yes, Dad!
Drive safe!
- Bye! - Take care!
Astrud!
Come here!
We have a problem!
Come on! Let's go in!
Hi!
I'm sorry about this,
But Ms, Vicenta Purongcanan didn't RSVP for a plus-one,
So ma'am Astrud Estrellado is not part of the headcount,
Right,
Can't we just share one seat please?
- We're open to anything, Please, - Yes, Please,
This is a wedding, not a jeepney,
Sorry, Astrud,
"Sorry"? Are you kidding me?
Where are we? We're in Tagaytay,
You just saw my dad drive off,
And we agreed you'll be my ride home,
Two gay men are getting married,
Naturally, their wedding vows will be 14 pages long
and you want me to wait out here?
It's going to be freezing later,
What am I supposed to do out here? Talk to rocks?
You're so dramatic, It can't be that bad,
Why don't you go to a spa? There's plenty of spas in Tagaytay!
Girl, are you high or something?
You want me to go to a spa? Wearing a copper cocktail dress?
You want me to walk all the way back to the front gate in these heels?
I think it's more like gold?
I agree, It's gold,
Sure, let's focus on that,
Nevermind, I'll just look for a sucker who'll help me,
Hey, come on,
- Till now you still can't face Zoey? - I'll go over there,
Thank you,
- Astrud! - I need a girlfriend,
Girlfriend? You need a girlfriend?
What do you want me to do? Find you one? Shop for one?
- Follow my lead, - Is that what you want?
- Have you gone crazy? - I did have a date, but she stood me up,
Hi! Oh my gosh, you're here, too?
What a surprise!
You're uhm-- You're…?
Handsome, I know,
Ah! I wasn't talking to you, Him,
Ellis?
Exactly, Ellis! Don't you recognize me?
How are you? It's been so long,
Friends of the groom, right?
They're both grooms, It's a gay wedding, right?
You don't know who's top guy, do you?
Hey, watch your mouth!
You're worse than my Raffy,
At least he only shows his bad behavior in Twitter videos,
- Huh? - Hashtag Alter Raffy,
Make sure you only watch the one where he's naked,
Too much information,
Well, the group must be looking for me now,
I'll go ahead, okay?
Good luck with that,
Me, too, man,
Coming!
Just text me when you've made up your mind, okay?
- You can do it, - Wait for me,
Ellis! Ellis!
I have a bit of a situation,
You see, I left my invitation in Manila,
Did you get to RSVP for a plus one?
Yeah,
Maybe you can get me in with you,
I did register a plus one but I don't know you,
Hey, come on, We do know each other!
Wow, has it been that long? Is my face so forgettable?
I really don't know who you are,
But sure, I'll get you in if you admit we've never met before,
Okay, fine,
We've never met before,
Okay? Happy?
Why do you need to get in so badly?
Is it rude if I tell you it's none of your business
considering I asked for your help?
A little,
Because my ex is inside,
He's the chef for the event,
I really need to talk to him,
That's why I was hoping to get in,
But it's okay, Forget it,
I'll just find a way to get home,
I can probably book a ride,
I wonder how much it'll cost me
to travel to Quezon City from Tagaytay?
Gosh, I'll probably,,,
sell myself to the driver just to get home,
Too bad I can't get in,
Me, too,
You'll sell your body too?
No, no,
I meant I also need to see my ex,
She's inside,
So what? You have an invitation so just go in,
No, no,
I meant I need my ex to see me
with a new girlfriend,
Prop girlfriend,
Wait, wait,
Are you serious?
Where's the camera? Where'd you place it?
Is this a prank?
You want me to pretend I'm your girlfriend?
Come on!
It's easy,
Just come with me and I'll introduce you to my friends,
just pretend to be sweet to me,
Anyway, everything we'll do is above the waist,
Above the what?
Just five to seven minutes,
You can leave after that,
Go meet with your ex-chef,
He's not an ex-chef, okay?
He's my ex who happens to be a chef, There's a difference,
- He's your ex but he's still a chef, - Yes, he's still a chef,
But nevermind, Forget it,
I don't want to do this,
Even though,
I was best actress at our drama guild back in school,
Nevermind, It's fine,
Look at you,
Muscle tone,
Nothing,
You put all your energy on hair care,
Overall impact, so-so,
We don't look good together, Nobody will believe us,
Forget it,
I guess you won't see your ex-chef, then,
Why are you cursing at me?
Okay, I get it,
All right, here,
You're worried about what others might think--
And I thought
you're the type of girl who focuses on character, not looks,
Too bad, You look pretty in your copper dress,
- What did you say? Copper? - Mm-mm,
It's copper, isn't it?
It really is copper,
Did you hear that? Earlier you said this was gold,
It's copper, I'm wearing a copper dress,
Be thankful you've got an excellent eyesight because now,
you have a deal,
Yes! I will be your five-minute girlfriend,
Five to seven minutes,
Fine, fine, On one condition, Leave that here,
My boyfriend wouldn't bring a pot to a wedding,
That's my gift to the groom,
Doesn't matter, Just do a money transfer,
As for you, white girl,
It's a single flower, you'd better not eat it,
Look after it, okay? This guy--
It's 'Ellis', right? Ellis will come back for it later, Okay?
Come on, Babe, let's go!
Let's go, my love,
'My love'? Really?
- Babe? - I like it,
Fine, Okay, Babe, Love, Let's go,
Okay,
- Let's dance! - "Love"? Really?
Did I get butterfly poop on my face?
It's a butterfly, not a cockroach,
Ah, this is really it,
Oh, man, We're in the big leagues now,
- Champagne, ma'am? - Ah, no, Water,
Let me try your finger foods,
You mean hors d'oeuvre?
Really? Okay, spell,
Please enjoy your finger foods,
Right? Fancy name for something that doesn't even taste good,
Thank you,
Where's the chef's station?
That might be it over there,
Hey, thanks, Nice to meet you,
- I'll see you, - Hey, wait,
Where are you going?
I still need to introduce you to my ex's friends,
I thought I could slip out,
Fine, The sun's about to set,
Come on, then, You may parade my beauty,
Wait, let's backtrack a bit,
Shouldn't you get to know me a little bit?
You should get to know me at least a little,
No, let's just go with something like--
You're a man of mystery or whatever,
And throw in something like love is blind, love at first sight, or whatnot,
They won't be convinced,
Just let me tell you a few things,
- Okay, go - Okay,
I'm Ellis, Ellis Perry Sumilang,
My family is considered a pioneer in the landscaping business,
I grew up in Malolos, The land of ensaymada and pinipig,
Only child, menopause baby but I have lots of nephews and nieces,
I was a nanny to all of them,
Me, too! Say cheese!
- Cheese! - Cheese!
I studied at Polytechnic State University because I love plants,
with a specialty of Conocarpus sericeus and Codiaeum Variegatum,
But I'm also an expert on ground cover and tropical perennials,
After graduation, I became a landscaper in Solenad,
Just a subcontractor for now
but you know the grass paths that dogs poop on in BGC?
I planted all of them,
That's me,
Wait, so you have lots of nephews and nieces,
Do you like children?
Eight to be exact, And I changed all of their diapers,
Hey, Astrud!
Jeez, You keep popping up out of nowhere,
Hang on,
What's the fuss?
Excuse me, Who are you?
This is Ellis, my babe, If anyone asks, we're together,
Okay?
I'll just borrow my BFF for a second,
What's up?
Yeah okay, it's my fault you're with that guy,
But don't you find him geeky? He's giving serial killer vibes,
Don't be silly,
Astrud, drop him, He's probably high as a kite,
He's a landscaper,
He might turn you into fertilizer,
Not at all, Come on,
He's legit, Let me show you,
Babe, Come here,
Yes?
- You're a landscaper, right? - Mm-hm,
Okay, choose one,
The best among these four choices,
April Showers, Firetree,
Purple Narra, Philippine Sakura,
Which is the best one?
Pretty impressive selection, I didn't know you were into flowers,
Mm-hm,
Philippine Sakura,
Firetree,
April Showers--
If you have a wide area, those are perfect,
They're great if you're patient and persistent
because they take five to six years to bloom,
But if you'd like something that blooms faster, Caballero's for you,
It only takes a year to bloom and it looks like a Firetree,
And if you're doubly impatient and want something that blooms in no time,
there's always Bougainvilla,
Cosmos,
Variegated Hibiscus
and Yellow Bells,
See?
Legit,
And my love,
don't ever buy a Purple Narra, okay?
Why?
Because there's no such thing, You can't trick me,
- Right! I told you he's good, - Yeah,
- Dude! - Hey, man!
Louisiana's been asking, where you were,
Mind you,
I didn't tell anyone you got yourself an instant girlfriend,
- Let's go! - Oh! Oh, wait!
Hang on just a second,
Shouldn't you know a little bit about me, too?
Ah, no need,
Just by the flowers you picked, I've got a pretty solid idea,
Don't be a jerk, Listen up,
It's just me,
Astrud, by the way, Born and raised in Binangonan, Rizal, Philippines!
So, when I was a child, I was a daddy's girl,
We rented an ancestral house in Binangonan city,
Back home, we financial problem, I'm not gonna lie,
The space is small, there's no garden but the space are full of plants,
Dad only drives an ambulance for a living, but we were happy,
Except for mom, who had too many dreams she couldn't afford,
So I worked hard, I thought to myself,
"One day, I'll buy my dad a big house
with enough space for our own garden,"
And maybe then mom would cheer up a little,
Eventually, it became just me and my dad at home,
I preferred it that way, I hustled like crazy,
- Thank you! - I'm buying this, sis,
Get two because I know you've got mountains of plates,
- Okay, okay, - You can drop off the payment tomorrow,
Thank you so much! How about phone credits? Need some?
- What about a foot massage? - I'll be back,
I tried my luck at everything, Klayvon, Katasha? Did those, too,
You should put blush on your nose for that gorgeous tan,
It looks great on you, ma'am!
Come, look! Gorgeous, right?
You should buy those products from my daughter,
You want to try these ones later? Leave it to me,
So I got to save money,
My dad helped me with college,
so I graduated with a degree in Business Management,
Today, I'm a solo entrepreneur who owns a start-up company called
Curacha Cool Coutures and Kukurs,
Ahh…
What's the kukurs?
To make curtains,
Curtains, upholstery, wholesale,
Korean blinds and dust-resistant fabrics,
Number two supplier in the Calabarzon region,
Ahh,
So you're a curtain maker,
Yeah, so? Got something against curtain makers?
If we didn't make your curtains,
your neighbors would see straight into your houses!
Okay, whatever, Like I have a choice,
I'm walking you both there,
I'll just tell them,
- Come on! - Love! Come here,
You have to remember,
Zoey's friends they're uhm-- high class,
Tatler Asia high-class,
So you know? Maybe level it up a bit so you're comparable,
Ahh,
Level up? Yeah, what is this?
Call of Duty? Ragnarok or what? Level up?
No-- Sorry, I'm just giving you a heads up,
cause Zoeys' friends, they're--
This?
- Me! - Judgy,
Ahh,, Judgy, Judgmental?
You mean they're going to judge me, huh?
Why is that? As I understand it, I'm supposed to be your prop girlfriend,
You're gonna show me off to your ex's friends?
Why do you make it sound like there's going to be question and answer?
Like it's a pageant or something,
Why?
Ah, can't you keep up? I guess you don't have to,
It's fine,
- Did you hear what he said? - You can't keep up?
Did I say I couldn't keep up?
He thinks you're weak,
I said nothing about not being able to keep up,
Because I'm going to smoke those bitches,
You're just pushing my buttons,
After all this, don't bother me again,
Because I'll be hunting down my ex,
Got it? We clear?
Your ex-fiance who is still a chef,
Ex-fiance who's going to be my future fiance because after tonight,
we'll be back together,
Mark my word,
Unlike you, You've already got me,
but you're still not winning because you're a lowly peasant,
- A lowly peasant? - Mm-hm, A bloody pleb,
Let's go, Where's this "panel of judges?"
who think they're all that?
I'll show you, Follow me,
Just relax, okay?
Hi everyone!
What's up?
This is Astrud Alberto Estrellado, She's from Binango--
Babe, first name is fine,
But I call her,
- 'Love,' - Love,
Yes, This is our mother hen, Louisiana,
- Hi! - Georgina,
- Cecilia, - Hello!

Yes, we're friends now,
Zoey's not here yet,
She's late,
And Rowan, the groom, he's still getting into his tuxedo,
- And the other groom? - Yes,
Maybe a gown?
You surely moved on from Zoey quickly,
I know, right?
She's an old friend of mine, You know, we just reconnected,
You know how it is when two people were meant to be,
life finds a way, Right, Love?
Yes!
Whirlwind romance,
That's why I haven't been around for our trips,
We've been so busy, We've been travelling,
My girlfriend, You know how it goes,
Girlfriend?
Ellis, I'm not your girlfriend,
You're not my girlfriend?
Nope,
Because we're engaged,
We're engaged,
You just found out?
No, it's 'cause--
Actually, he's always like this,
He's very considerate because he's always thinking about--
That girl-- What's here name?
- Zoey, - Zoey,
Zoey, Our friend,
- Ah, she's your friend! - Yes!
Like I said, he always takes Zoey's feelings into consideration,
Doesn't want her to feel uncomfortable,
But I feel that's a bit unfair towards me,
And I said, "You should be proud of our relationship, babe!"
- Yes! - Exactly!
I'm with you on that, Astra,
Astra?
Like the vaccine?
Astrud,
Astrud, Sorry, Astrud,
But if you're engaged…
um,
where's your engagement ring?
The engagement ring--
Babe, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I forgot to wear it,
It's okay, It's okay,
- I feel so bad, I'm so sorry, - Don't worry, Love,
- It's okay, - I'm really sorry,
We went on a trip last week and we had black caviar,
- Yes, - Oh!
Have you ever tried it?
Of course!
- All of you? - My favorite!
- Oh my god! - Beluga!
That's lunch!
- It was so good! - Yes,
But the ring got dipped into it so I had it sent for cleaning,
Ahh,
Where? At Cebuana Devullier?
Why there? What is it?
It's a pawnshop,
Ah, a pawnshop, Do you go there?
Not me,
You?
Babe, oh my god, I have it!
- I'm so sorry! - You do? Oh!
Wow!
I have it here,
- You're so funny! - I know,
Thank you! There it is, Look, It's so shiny,
So pretty,
Babe, why don't we relive the moment?
Show them! Come on!
- Let's show them, - Oh, yes! Relive the moment,
It went exactly like this!
- Like this! - Go ahead! Go, Go,
- Astrud? - Yes?
Will you-- Will you--?
- Gain weight, Your fingers are so thin, - Just slip it on,
- Isn't that the same ring-- - Shh, Georgina,
Can I see?
- It looks familiar, - It's such a beautiful ring!
- Thank you! - Aster!
- Astrud, - Oh my god!
- How many times do I have to say, - Astrud! It's so pretty,
- What a nice ring, - Thank you,
Ah, Love, Your phone's ringing,
Is that mine?
Must be my dad,
I'll be right back, Sorry, Excuse me,
I'll just go with her,
She, might,,, need me-- You know?
- Go! - Bye,
- Fiancé, - Enjoy!
A'ight,
Love!
What?
That was amazing! High five!
I hate your friends, They're such stuck-ups,
They're pissing me off,
Nevermind them, You pulled it off,
Yeah? Effective!
Well, then my job's done, I'm out,
We're done here,
Hey, come on, You haven't even met Zoey,
- Huh? - Yeah,
That's not what we talked about,
You said I was just supposed to meet your ex's friends,
I smell something fishy,
Wait a minute,
- Excuse me, - I've got somewhere to be, all right?
I don't want to do this anymore,
- Don't widen your eyes at me, - Hi!
LQ?
- No! - Never,
Never,
What a lovely couple,
- Thank you, - I’m so curious,
So how did the two of you meet?
At the uhm--
Don't tell me you don't remember,
Your mask, Fix it or they'll recognize you,
Bummer, my stuff fell off,
- Wait, what the hell, - Sorry, I dropped my mask,
Miss, you can have this,
I just need your help, Let me just fix my mask,
- I'll take it off, - Wait, But now I've seen your face,
- We will-- - I will never forget that night,
Bummer, my stuff fell off,
Wait, there's lots of thingies!
- Miss, you can have this, - What's this?
I'm sorry, my mask broke,
Wait, But then I'll recognize you,
That's okay, You versus 400,
Here, all good,
Love you, my love,
We're at "love" already?
Sure, so the story moves faster,
That's how I met him,
Yeah! Super cute meet-cute,
Yes!
Univ, Neophytes, Nude run,
So cute!
That was crazy, I couldn't look straight at Jordan,
- Jordan? - Who's Jordan?
Jordan? I didn't say Jordan,
Did you hear me say 'Jordan'?
- No! - You said, Jordan,
Giordavo!
I was wearing Giordavo when Ellis and I met,
I couldn't look at him,
'Cause you know, His-- His thingy,
'Cause it's up, down, all around,
That was so embarrassing,
Yeah, He looks shy, but Ellis has an adventurous side,
- The neophyte's nude run at university! - Yeah,
Your mask, Fix it or they'll recognize you,
I was there!
- I was there because-- - Yes, you were!
We supplied the--
Our organization supplied the roses for the neophytes
then I saw a girl and a boy under a red cloth--
Our organization supplied the roses for our nude run--
That's where we met,
- Yes, - That's right,
We did meet there,
My thingy was going up and down,
I was staring at her,
Wait, wait, wait! So are you trying to tell me
that you met Astrud the same time as Zoey?
Freshman?
- Sophomore, - Sophomore?
Yes, sophomore, Uh, we lost contact,
Because she lost her phone,
Yes, I lost my phone at the time, Yeah,
Hang on,
Didn't you go to Los Baños for college?
- Yeah! - Right? Like BS Botany or something?
How could you have met?
He cross-enrolled,
- Mm, - Cross?
Cross-enroll,
- Cross, - Yeah,
- Yes, - You know, I'm so intrigued,
After that frontal nudity meet,
Uhm,
how did you court Astrud?
We didn't see each other after that,
Until I became a junior at an--
Inter-university Plant Sale!
Yes,
And we had a stall that sold seedlings,
Mm-hm,
I saw her approaching with her friends,
Mm-hm,
Dude,
You've got a far-off look on your face,
Remember, we're going back to UP Los Baños tomorrow,
Now or never,
Dama de Noche?
What?
Dama de Noche, When this matures,
it blooms every single night,
Think of it as me giving you flowers every night,
Thank you,
Haven't we heard that story before--
Ah, you're probably just hungry, Have some of this,
There,
Right? You were saying?
So I saw her and handed her a flower pot
then she got an…
allergy?
Dama de Noche?
What?
Dama de Noche, Once it matures,
it blooms every single night,
Think of it as me giving you flowers every night,
Thank you,
I appreciate the flowers,
I smell nothing but sweat when I'm with these guys,
- Allergy? - Yes!
Too bad an allergy ruined the moment!
Yeah,
Oh! Yes!
- Yes! Do you remember? - I remember,
Of course! Of course, I remember,
That was unbelievable,
My face just blew up and
I looked like the Hulk, remember?
- Yeah! - Yeah, right? Like a female Hulk,
- And it was so itchy! God! - For sure!
I'll continue my story,
No, I remember,
- You do? - I remember,
You called for an ambulance,
Sorry, honey,
You asked for a coffee date but I'm still at work,
Now you had to accompany me on a run,
It's fine, dad, I want to see you in action,
Here, have some coffee,
- They're in take-out cups anyway, - Thanks, honey,
Then you got on the ambulance,
It's gonna be fine,
I did? You-- That was us!
Yes, That was us,
That was us,
- Didn't Zoey also get an allergy-- - Does she love to talk!
My baby's such a chatterbox, huh?
Oh, right,
Because I got Astrud in trouble back then,
It's okay, really,
If it wasn't for that,
we wouldn't have spent such quality time,
Yep, Destiny,
- Wow, just from a seedling? - Seedling?
Ah, Yeah, actually,
I liked him exactly for that seedling,
That's what made me fall for him,
Those garlands and flower arrangements?
Tomorrow they'll be wilted,
Expensive bags, shoes, fine jewelry--
those things don't impress me,
You know, Ellis--
it doesn't matter to him if he gets bashed or cancelled…
Whatever his friends might think of him,
Ellis has his own thing, He has his own style!
He doesn't need to follow the trends--
Or listen to what his friends have to say,
He doesn't care to have,
Korean glass skin, or Korean eyebrows,
That's just how he is,
That's why we became really close at the hospital,
Am I right?
Do you have any more questions?
Zoey, I'm really sorry,
At least I'll be ready for Halloween,
I'll just munch on some Dama de Noche,
Actually,
you look like Anabelle,
Hey, Anabelle's not yet showing at the time of this memory,
It wasn't released yet,
Rama?
Okay, yeah,
Nevermind,
I'll just keep a bunch of Dama de Noche leaves in my backpack
whenever we get into an argument,
Why would we argue?
Well, you know, When we go on dates,
Why would I go on a date with you?
Sorry, Sorry,
By the way, um--
Why would I go on a date with you,
when you haven't asked me yet,
Ah,
- Astrud? - Mm?
Can I ask you out for coffee?
Coffee?
Just coffee?
Look at me,
Coffee with milk?
Absolutely not,
Look at the extent of the damage,
Even a Starblanks franchise won't cut it,
You know how you'll make it up to me?
There we go, Sorry, babe, Thank you so much,
Home furnishings are largely sold online these days,
We need to have amazing product shots,
Can you roll that out down there? Let's see,
Let me just set it up,
There we go!
Do you like that color? Looks good, right?
Okay, game, Next,
Can you move the sofa while I set up the camera?
At the center, I'll set up some candles,
Right there, Perfect,
- That everything? - Looks great,
Nice,
Let's give it a try,
Like we're married,
There's our TV right there, A huge TV,
- Wow, - I love it,
Nice, huh? Is that a pillow or my belly fat?
It's soft, Just like a pillow,
I think we gotta do a test run,
Did you mind being my errand boy?
I was hugging a pillow and we kissed,
Yes! We kissed!
Yeah, I think I remember,
We were out late and you invited me to a motel,
Babe, I want noodles,
Noodles?
Where do we get noodles?
There,
I heard their noodles are delicious,
No way, that didn't happen! You're making it up!
I'm making it up? Why would I make things up?
You totally are, I remember it differenty,
We found a bar, A mixed bar and you asked me to go in,
What! Now you're making it up!
Hey, uh, you want to drink?
One for the road?
There? Doesn't it look sus?
Look at the guy, He's wearing an extra small tee,
Love,
before we get too deep,
I want to tell you something,
What is it?
I'm fluid,
Hey! What are you talking about?
No, That's totally what happened,
Fake news, You're such a troll,
You should work for the government,
No! No!
- I don't remember that, - Hang on,
Why do I get the feeling,
that you both forget what happened to you?
Are you vitamin-deficient or something?
What's with your poor memory?
Anyway, My bestfriend must be looking for me now,
Nice to meet you guys,
What now, sis?
Enjoy much?
You're always popping out of nowhere,
Have you seen Jordan yet?
Girl, don't go near him,
He's still biting off his staff's heads
and spitting them on the griller,
What's with that stupid smile on your face?
What? Nothing, It's nothing,
Don't give me that crap, Astrud, I know you,
It's nothing!
If you say so,
But you know what-
So it's not nothing?
My babe, Ellis--
I'm happy with him,
If only we'd seen each other sooner, if we'd known each other before all this
I think we're going to be a couple,
That's why he's calling you godlike,
Just because your heart stopped beating a long time ago,
It just coughs every now and then,
You don't believe in "the one", in "love at first sight,"
"The one"? You know, K-dramas are like termites,
They've turned our brains to mush,
Having you believe in crap like "the one,"
You're too much,
There's no such thing as "the one",
There's only the one you settle for,
the one you can live with,
Take my Raffy for instance,
I settled for him, even if he'sonly got half a pair of balls,
What? Really?
Is it true?
Oh!
Anyway, I'm worried about you, I'm scared for you,
I thought you were going to get back with Jordan, and then it's happy ending?
But it looks like Garden Boy's making things complicated,
even though you just met him--
I repeat-- You just met,
Not at all,
It's my first time laughing out loud in a long time, that's all,
The kind of laugh that--
That makes you forget about the whole world,
and all your problems don't matter,
It's only happened with Ellis,
Okay,
I understand,
But isn't he trying to get back with his girlfriend?
You might think you have a chance,
Zoey says she's stuck in traffic,
She wants us to wait for her,
Everyone has to wait for her?
Like she's the bride?
She said Ellis will wait for her,
Why? Did you tell her ex is already engaged?
That's why she wants him to wait,
So Ellis knows what he's missing,
Oh, get me some wine?
- White or red? - Red,
Red, okay,
You know, Ellis,
It was actually Zoey's idea to invite you,
I told her, "It's your fault, girl!"
You rejected his proposal,
I mean Ellis was just doing what any man would have done,
Right? A guy's got to mend his heart,
But Zoey?
She has not been the same,
She keeps crying, when she's drunk,
she can't work, she can't eat,
If that's true then why did she reject me?
Duh, She got scared,
If she'd accepted you, what would that mean?
Her whole life, she'll have to deal with your condition,
She got scared,
She thought she couldn't do it,
It turns out,
she's doing worse without you,
I don't know,
I'm not sure I'd want to spend my whole life
with someone who will just endure me either,
That's what I'm saying,
You found someone who doesn't need to endure you,
Come on,
You're a perfect match,
After seeing you and Astrud,
it kind of makes sense,
It's like, you guys laugh at each other's jokes,
finish each other's stories…
It's like you've known each other for so long,
Like you know everything about each other,
Not really,
Go to her,
It's hard to get to know someone,
if you met them just a while ago,
Hey, You're going to break your neck,
- Huh? - I got you some drinks,
You're looking for me?
Don't flatter yourself,
I'm just checking if the wedding has started,
Um,
Is this soda water?
Yeah, You look like someone who can hold her liquor,
Ahh, you're observing me,
Of course,
Philippine Sakura,
Firetree, April Showers,
Those flowers take forever to bloom,
They need time, make it strong, and care for them,
They only flower once but when they do, it's wondrous,
They don't hold back it almost kills them,
Just by your preferences in plants,
I've got a solid read on you,
Suffering romantic,
Huh?
Perfect analysis!
Of my father,
Those are his favorite flowers, Not mine,
That's why I agreed to this little roleplay,
Because you remind me of him,
He's handsome, too?
No,
I meant he's a poor old thing,
I pity him,
When I was a kid,
we didn't own the lot we lived in,
There's three of us driving the ambulance,
It's not enough!
It's always not enough,
Mom wasn't doing so well in their marriage,
- What's with the coins? - I could see she was disappointed
she married a man who lacked ambition,
That's all you're good for!
You plan on feeding us leaves?
One night, her wedding ring fell into the drain,
She broke the pipes, poking desperately to fish them out,
Filthy drain water flooded the floor,
Mom, the floor's flooding!
She even slipped on it,,,
- Mom! - then wept in it,
Just like the flooded floor,
Tears from all those years of enduring that kind of life spurted out of her,
You never know which is the last straw that would break someone,
My own mother,
decided to leave me so she could leave my dad,
If mom can live without us,
we sure as hell can live without her,
She doesn't have a room in my new house,
That's when I vowed to move us to a new house someday,
A big house,
Somewhere he can plant a massive garden,
When I met Jordan,
I knew he wasn't it,
Here, mister,
Sir, are you ready to order?
One more round? Okay,
How about food,
Okay,
- One order of french fries, - French fries? Okay,
You were so in love,
Is that wrong?
Of course,
Ellis, do you know the difference between a cook and a chef?
What?
Spelling,
No,
They call you a chef once you've made it,
Jordan was just a cook, He was broke,
shuffling from one restaurant to another,
I could see how our future would unfold,
We'll live in a small house,
the same house that my dad gave to mom,
Then he'll knock me up,
Then I need to wait for him,
'cause he'll need to get on a cruise ship, be a cook, and earn more,
I'll stay home and wait for his paycheck
while I take care of our children,
My kids will grow up just like I did--
living from hand to mouth,
I didn't want that!
I have bigger dreams for them,
I don't want to cook, eat, and sleep all in the same room!
I don't want flooded sinks and broken pipes,
I don't want them to plant on concrete,
I don't want that kind of life!
In short,
the kind of life your father gave you?
I love my father,
But he is a failure,
I guess I'm a lousy daughter, right?
I can say those things to the parent who raised me,
So in your story with chef--
you're the one who left,
Yes,
But I had money saved,
I'm a hustler,
Curtain Queen,
I can sell all kinds of curtains,
Even coffin curtains,
And not just that, I'm also the Uniform Empress,
Every uniform anyone could ever need--
for sales ladies, government workers--
I supply all of them,
That's how,
I bought a townhouse for my dad with a backyard,
That's awesome!
Congrats!
You don't look too happy,
Happy?
Probably because--
Even though I got him a house,
and to think that I had to give up Jordan,
to buy that house
it still wasn't enough,
Dad still prefers to live in our old house,
He would much rather remember how my mother abandoned him,
I guess that's how it goes, huh?
You resent your mother for leaving you for money,
But you left Jordan for the exact same reason,
Sounds like you're no different from her,
What makes you think you can say that to my face?
You don't have the right to say that to me,
Sorry, Sorry, am I wrong?
It's true, though,
Are you okay?
You don't hold back, don't you? Are you stupid?
I'm just kidding,
Hey, where are you going?
Look, I want to watch!
I've always dreamed of being a flower girl,
Today is a great day because, once again, love has won,
We have before us two children of God
who have chosen to have God as minister to their promise of love,
And we, too, are honored to be here today as witnesses in their uniting,
Do you think it’s easy to find love?
I hope you and Jordan work things out,
Because,
thanks to you,
Louisiana told me,
that Zoey wants to get back with me,
Really?
Congratulations,
Congrats,
See? We're so convincing,
We got them fooled, We convinced them that we're so in love,
That's great, Fantastic team-up,
Congrats,
Will be made one by a bond made of nothing else but love,
As we gather together to celebrate love and devotion,
by these two children of God that stand before us,
Rowan and Andrew,
You want to know how those two met?
We are especially blessed,
It was at the restaurant where I proposed to Zoey
and she rejected me,
Told me to give her time,
I was so frustrated, I threw my fist at Rowan,
I kept punching him,
The waiter arrived,
it was Andrew,
He pulled me aside,
Rowan lost a tooth because of me,
But at least they met each other,
What do you mean?
That's how the universe planned all of it,
It was the hand of destiny, or God, or whatever you want to call it,
Why can't it be a mere coincidence?
There's no such thing as coincidence,
Even the deal we made,
He knows about it,
He has a plan for us,
Everything happens for a reason,
Ellis, there's something I want to tell you,
I know I'll regret it if I don't tell you,
- What is it? - Something weird did happen,
- That day with you and Zoey, - Yeah?
- That time with the ambulance, - Yes,
Didn't you wonder why I knew about how it went?
Why? Why do you know that story?
Because I was there,
My dad was supposed to drive me back to school,
But an emergency call came in, so
he had to take me to work with him, and that's when I saw you,
Insane, huh? Small world,
Actually, I've got another one,
- Your story about the nude run? - Yeah!
I really was there,
Our organization did supply the roses,
I saw a girl and a guy under a curtain sheet,
That was you and Jordan,
See?
The universe wants to tell us something,
Um,,,
The ring I put on your finger,
Where'd you get it?
This?
Don't tell me you just walk around with an engagement ring every day,
Uh, no,
Four months ago, you picked that up in BGC,
Hey, how did you know?
Because that's my ring,
I threw it when Zoey rejected my proposal,
Then, I saw a poor abandoned cake on a bench
that somebody just discarded for some reason, and I ate it,
The chocolate cake and drippy chocolate toppings?
How did you know?
I left that cake on a bench, That was my cake,
See?
There were numerous instances where we could have met,
But still, we didn't,
What's meant to be is meant to be,
What if we just don't see it?
That the two of us were meant to be and you're my 'the one'?
I now pronounce you husband and husband!
You may now kiss your spouse!
Yes!
- Don't be jealous! - More!
You may also kiss your beloved!
Ellis, I need to go,
I can't fall for you,
Hey, girls!
Where's Ellis?
Zo--
Astrud?
Zoey! Nice to meet you,
I wish I could say the same,
Joke!
Come on, Ellis,
Let's meet Rowan and Andrew at the end of the aisle,
Let's throw a confetti for the video!
Come on! Hurry!
Damnit, Astrud, How stupid can you be?
Why would you develop feelings for the guy?
You're freaking jealous?
Don't be jealous!
Things were going so well until Zoey showed up!
Why did she have to butt in? This sucks,
Hi, Zoey!
- Yes? You called? - I didn't,
Oh, you were talking to yourself,
Don't let me interrupt you, Keep going,
You were at the part where you couldn't help,
but be jealous of Ellis and I?
But why are you jealous?
Aren't you guys engaged?
Unless none of it's true,
That's my ring, isn't it?
Sorry,
It's my ring now,
No worries, Enjoy it,
I'll soon have it back,
You're probably thinking why someone like me,
would fall in love with Ellis,
They're practically worlds apart,
Wow, that's too much, I don't think about you,
Why would you assume that?
Oh, so you know what Ellis and I went through,
Let me tell you about our life anyway,
No fake news,
Back when we were still in college,
He was just a puppy following me around,
Hoping for crumbs,
My college friends would just make fun of him,
Hi!
What lunatic would travel from Los Baños,
every Tuesdays and Thursdays just to be with me?
Until that time
I lost all my friends,
Don't mind them,
I've been made fun of my whole life,
You don't know me, Ellis,
Let me get to know you, then,
I'm going out tomorrow to buy some plants for landscaping,
Roadtrip?
We were together for a long time,
What about you?
How long have you been together?
Two hours?
Louisiana told me you're just a plus one,
Tell me, Why would Ellis do this?
To make me jealous?
To make me feel bad?
Zoey!
Zoey?
- Where'd you go? - Coming!
We're about to have a toast!
- I'm coming! - They're already dancing!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
If Zoey's still in love with you, why did she let you go?
It happened at the party,
The night I saw Zoey give up on me,
At a party?
After our graduation,
Louisiana threw a retro disco party,
Zoey insisted that I should be there,
Hi, honey,
Hey, Ellis!
You really nailed that costume, Authentic!
Isn't that your daily wardrobe?
Let's dance,
- What? No, - Come on, Ellis!
- I don't dance, - Let's dance!
- Please, Zoey, Please, - Come on!
No, no!
No, no, Zoey!
No, please, No!
Zoey,
Come on, Just for me!
I saw it in Zoey's eyes,
I couldn't even show up for a simple dance,
What more for the rest of our lives?
I was certain that at that moment,
she had given up on me,
That's it? You got embarrassed by that?
So what if you're dorky on the dance floor?
I struggle to deal with it because of my condition,
So then what happened after that? You broke up?
The next day she acted like nothing happened,
She didn't even mention it,
But I knew we were just going through the motions,
One night, I proposed to her,
But her eyes clearly told me
that I've lost her,
Now she's saying she wants to get back together,
But her eyes look the same as before,
Maybe she just needs someone on her arm,
Someone to be waiting on her,
Maybe that's what love means for her,
That's not love,
Ma'am, sir,
Can we interview you for Rowan and Andrew?
You're the only ones we haven't filmed,
Hi, Rowan, Hi, Andrew,
My advice for you is to always be there,
Be there for each other when everyone is around,
But it's more important to be there for each other,
when no one is around,
And don't throw it away,
When they've all come around, you stay strong,
Do you agree?
One thing about love,,,
it's not a prop,
Your beloved is not an accessory,
I'm going out to buy some plants for landscaping,
Really? Can I come with you?
And always grab the opportunity--
To kiss,
I was going to say "to dance"--
but okay,
And with that, let's make good on our advice,
Which one? Which advice?
Come on, Let's dance,
We're going to show Zoey that you do know how to dance,
And you're going to dance for yourself,
Not for anybody else,
Babe, no, That wasn't part of our agreement,
I know it's not, but we're going to do it anyway,
I'll leave these here, mister,
- Let's go! - I don't remember agreeing to dance,
- I'm not gonna dance, - You're coming with me,
Just a moment!
Astrud, I don't want to!
Astrud!
See? Look, this is easy,
Like this,
This is a piece of cake, Your turn,
There you go,
Wait, just stay here, I have an idea,
- I don't want to dance, - Come on, The music is cool!
I requested that song, Go ahead,
Go, dance,
There!
This is my favorite song,
Okay,
Look at me,
Close your eyes,
Close them!
See?
Now we can dance!
Just follow my lead,
Look closely, just like this,
Then you'll turn it up a notch,
There! There you go,
See, you're a natural!
Nice, see?
You're good! You're a natural,
Look closely, catch this, Hurry,
Nice!
So hot!
Astrud!
Astrud, what's the matter?
Astrud!
Hey, what is it?
Stop running,
Do you plan on circling the venue?
Ellis, I'm too old to fall for tricks,
This was just an ex-deal, remember?
We're just fooling ourselves,
You're finally getting what you want,
And I'm going to get what I want,
Let's not believe our own lies, please,
What if I tell you I'm no longer pretending?
Because this is the way I am,
I can sense in one single moment if I love someone,
And I know for sure that I love you,
You're out of your mind!
You said it yourself,
Love is like a plant,
You need to take care of it, let it grow,
What we have, you and I-- You know what we are?
We're just flowers in a vase,
Tomorrow we'll have withered,
Then you'll wonder why we even wasted time on each other,
Ellis,
Must we really give each other false hopes?
And get to the point where we need to hurt each other?
Astrud,
Astrud, Hold on,
Why are you so scared of hurting each other?
Love hurts, it's a fact, The only thing that matters is if it's real,
And this, what we have? This is real,
It's the real deal, You're the one, I've waited for you for so long,
I've waited for this for so long, To feel this certain,
I feel it in every bone of my body,
Like I've been missing something my whole life,
and now you're here and I’m finally complete,
That's how I feel,
Like we've known each other for ages,
I've loved you for so long even though we just met today,
Now I know love isn't measured by length of time,
Because when you're in love, time means nothing,
Hours, minutes, years--
They all fade into a blur, and all that remains clear is you,
I don't mind getting hurt when it's by you,
Laughing while I'm sad,
still tender towards you even when I'm angry, because,,,
Because now I know,
I've found it,
I've found you and I surrender everything,
I surrender everything to this true love because--
I love you,
- Ellis, - Do you love me, too?
I told you, it's impossible,
It's not that easy, We'll be pinning for nothing,
I give you no false hopes,
Ellis, I wasn't talking about you, I'm the problem!
I'm not who you wish I was,
You were wrong about what you had with Zoey,
You're making the same mistake with me,
She already told you this before, I'll say it again,
You don't know me,
Astrud,
my answer is the same as before,
Then let me get to know you,
I'm not a loving person, Ellis,
Ever since my mom left us,
something happened in here,
It got broken,
It's hardened,
I grew up laughing through everything,
acting perky, sassy,
acting manic pixie dream girl,
But this thing?
You're going to cut yourself with it, It's sharp,
I will only hurt you,
I don't understand,
I don't want people to love me,
What I want is to rise in life,
I'm envious of people that have what I don't have,
Oh, light beige and greige,
Every time I see a couple,
honestly? I keep thinking, "Don't fall for it,"
"They all leave in the end,"
I don't want to be left behind like my father was,
That's why I need to get ahead,
That's what mom left us for--
nice clothes and jewelry and expensive food,
You're still short,
I'm sorry, sir,
I can't have this, Roman,
If you're struggling with the rent,
I think you'd better find a new place to move to,
I told myself, "I can't live like this,"
"Not like this,"
Jordan,
Yes, Trudy?
Two applicants will come in tomorrow,
You need to interview them,
What for? We're all set,
Restaurant manager,
I should focus on the shop, I'll sell all sorts of things,
I thought this was our dream?
This? This isn't my dream,
This is your dream,
We'll, open a restaurant, it fails, we need to close down,
Then we'll think of a new concept,
just the two of us we'll open another restaurant, and it will fail again,
Until when are we supposed to keep chasing your dreams,
and not mine?
Till we're neck-deep in debt? Until--
Until I've got nothing to feed you
once we get married, is that what you're getting at?
- Yes, - We've been through this,
That's why I hate to bring it up,
Is it so hard to understand? I just want to buy my dad a house,
I want a steady income,
Because deep inside, you don't have faith in us,
All you care about is yourself,
The one person that will never abandon me is me,
We're over, Jordan,
Astrud,
Wait, Astrud,
Trudy?
Anybody home?
Astrud?
- Ah, Dad, - Jordan,
Good morning,
Is Astrud there?
She left, You just missed her,
Okay, Dad, Please give this to her, Tell her it's from me,
I will,
I'll go ahead,
- Get home safe, - Yes, sir,
Sorry I'm late, honey,
Yeah, you are three hours late,
Where did you drive around?
In Antipolo?
You went there to visit mom again?
Yeah,,,
She called and said she's lonely,
For god's sake, dad!
How can you be such a loser?
Did you forget that she left us?
It's been just the two of us since then,
But until now, you're still clinging on to mom?
She doesn't deserve your love!
She's all alone now,
Shouldn't we give her our love? She needs it more,
So you've forgiven her?
Yes,
Don't worry, the day will come
when Jordan will also forgive you for what you did to him,
Me? Why would Jordan have to forgive me?
What did I do to Jordan?
I didn't do anything,
Didn't you measure his worth according to his ability to make you rich,
instead of his ability to love you?
I don't know where you picked that up,
Or where I went wrong with how I raised you,
But I never imagined
that love for you meant what someone,
could bring to the table and how they could serve you,
You know where I picked it up?
From you, I learned it from watching you,
Because I never want to be like you,
I'd rather--
I'd rather leave first than be the one who gets left behind,
I'd rather be the one to dictate the worth of a person,
Because I do not want to end up like you,
But I ask you this,
are you happy?
Hello, who's this?
This is Jordan's cellphone, right?
I'm Jordan's mother, He can't come to the phone,
We're at the hospital right now,
He drank a whole bottle of sleeping pills last night
because of you, Astrud,
You're right,
The people I hate the most in the world
are those who are just like me!
Like my mom,
envious, overambitious,
And like her, I've caused pain,
So I know, like her,
I will never be happy,
I will always be alone,
Ellis, we weren't fated to meet--
not because we weren't meant for each other,
God didn't want us to meet
because we don't deserve each other,
He knew I would end up hurting you,
Astrud
just hurt me,
I don't mind because it's you, Just hurt me,
No, that's not it,
I need to find Jordan, I need to talk to him,
Why do you have to go back to Jordan?
What kind of love do you still expect from him?
It's not love I'm expecting from him,
It's forgiveness,
Forgiveness?
It would have been better if you'd said you still love him!
Because if it's forgiveness you want,
maybe you should learn to forgive first!
Baby, is that you?
Astrud?
I'm glad you called,
I forgive you,
May I know--
If it ever made you happy,
Happy?
Mm-hm,
Astrud,
you may not understand this right now
but someday,
life will make you understand,
A day will come when you feel like you're at the end of your string,
When you're repelled even by the air that you breathe,
And you get an inexplicable urge to be somebody else,
To lead a different life,
That's not true,
We make our own choices,
You chose yourself over me and dad,
I hope the day never comes when you are forced
to make a difficult decision by life as well,
That day has come, mom,
Ellis,
I did it,
What?
Because of you, I was able to do it,
I called up my mom,
She forgave me,
And I've forgiven her, too,
It's your turn,
My turn?
You owe me a story,
The real reason why you and Zoey split up back then,
The truth?
Zoey didn't turn me down because I didn't belong in her world,
There's another thing she couldn't deal with,
Come on, let's dance!
Come on, Zoey, Let's dance!
Doctors can't agree,
They say it could be anger management issues,
that stem from childhood trauma,
Lowest spectrum of Asperger's,
I've lived with this my whole life,
When I was a student,
I used to get into brawls all the time,
Every time I feel ashamed,
something bubbles up inside me and I explode,
After that, I tried fixing myself, Astrud,
Counseling, anger management, therapy, and retreat,
I went through the entire healing process,
And I think I’m in a good place now,
I'm doing better, I know I am,
Trust me,
Do you believe me?
So you're a little strange, huh?
So what, I am, too,
You have issues? So do I,
You have wounds, I have my own,
We're a match,
I like you,
But I need to finish what I came here to do,
I need to speak to Jordan,
What for?
He needs to make a decision,
For the both of you?
Not just for the two of us,
So I'm giving it all up to the universe,
- Or to destiny? - Or destiny,
Or God?
Doesn't matter what or who it is,
Only he knows what Jordan's decision will be,
If he releases me,
and you'll accept me,
we can be together,
But if Jordan thinks we need to get back together,
that's what we'll do,
Will you be okay with that decision?
What's meant to be will be, right?
What's meant to be will be,
I'm glad you didn't forgive me back then,
Why?
Because I still needed to forgive myself,
Now I've confronted all of my sins,
It's still all about you, huh?
When I ended up at the hospital,
I thought that was the end for me,
You were my first love,
You're my only love,
I know that back then, you thought of me as a loser
that's why you left,
This is what you wanted, right? For me to try harder in life,
Who knew I'd actually make it,
I just followed your lead, I became more ambitious,
Is that how you met your girlfriend?
The girl you saw?
That was nothing, It was over months ago,
Which brings me to…
why are you still here?
Four and a half months, I just found out last month,
That's why I insisted on coming here to look for you,
If you don't want to raise the child, that's fine with me,
I'll understand, I can manage on my own,
I just wanted you to know, Because my father raised me
and nothing compares to growing up with your own father,
All my life,
I always wanted a complete family,
That's why I came here,
I know that I've hurt you so much,
That's why I leave the decision up to you,
Do you want it?
But you don't love me anymore, do you?
This is more than us now,
This time, I want to put our child's happiness before my own,
I will give you time to think,
Astrud,
Wait,
I'm sorry, this is the only ring I have in my bag,
For the time being,
It's not a real silver ring, is that all right?
That's not even silver, It's dark grey,
It's silver,
It's not,
Why are you laughing?
Nothing,
We always agree when it comes to colors,
Who?
No one,
Astrud…
Trudy,
Will you marry me?
Can we be a family?
Don’t mind that,
It's nothing, We were just joking around, I'll give it back,
Astrud, I think you have to wrap it up,
Stay here, I'll be right back, I'll just give this back,
Wait for me, I'll just go check on him, Hang on,
Wait,
Ellis!
Astrud,
- Hey, - Ellis,
I just gave the orchid to the groom,
Are you okay?
I thought something happened,
I was just gone for five minutes,
I told you I'm going to be okay,
I can handle myself,
Well, babe,
this was a really good night,
Thank you,
Best night ever,
For me, too,
Thank you,
So…
Is this goodbye?
This is goodbye,
Goodbye,
I hope you have a great life,
I guess I was wrong, huh?
We weren't meant to be after all,
They're a little rowdy, but yeah, Jerome's team
he'll take care of the things,
Keep an eye out for our phalaenopsis,
Make sure to restock immediately when it runs out,
- Got it, - And about the--
Boss, I'll go ahead,
Astrud!
Ellis!
Long time no see,
How long has it been?
One year?
- Mm-hm, - How's it going?
I'm doing well,
Just doing some shopping for the love of my life,
You love her very much, don't you?
Didn't I tell you?
I always knew you were a fierce lover,
You know what this one taught me?
There's a kind of Love--
that’s just an illusion, there's true love,
past love, future love,
but once you have a kid, it's all rolled up into one,
Illusion, true love, past, future,
And where's her daddy?
Nowhere,
Didn't work out,
We did try to make it work,
But our worlds just drifted too far apart,
And we've hurt each other too deeply,
So now I'm with my Jorel,
Jorel, Hi!
Jordan Ellis,
It's been a year since we met, huh?
Why do you think we're meeting again?
Because of God?
Destiny?
Or maybe…
we're meant to be?
Well, we could be meant to be,
But at least now, we'll choose to be,
