It's just that, someone brought Ma'am Lally home the other night.
A man.
Do you know him?
No, Sir.
But I'm sure that he wasn't a relative.
Lally, can you please NOT add to our problems?!
And don't you dare ruin my family's reputation!
How could you?!
Let me just remind you..
that you are the one who ruined our family!
Right now, I need you to step up and be man enough
to admit to your parents what our problem really is!
Or else!
I'll be the next to cheat.
Let them fight.
That means they're arguing to keep things together.
It'd be worse if they weren't talking to each other at all.
Maybe it's a "third party."
Paul, Hi!
I miss you. I want to see you.
I'll tell them the truth.
Oh my God! Bessy, I heard that!
What's Vincent finally going to say??
Sorry Paul, never mind.
OK, good night.
Now you know how a real woman gets angry.
Beks, are you really serious about selling your unit?
Or this is just you being overly dramatic?
I need a huge amount of funds.
I'm going to start my own architectural firm.
I like that! Bury yourself in work!
That's one of the greatest ways to move on.
There's no way else but to go forth and move on.
Ouch! -My God!
I'm sorry for hurting you. For lying to you...
For deceiving you...
I'm sorry.
With his apology, I felt as if he decided to marry me again..
I felt that he is really coming back to me.
Back to our family...
Goodbye, Vince.
Goodbye, Eric.
Can we talk?
I... I just have something important to confess to you.
What is it, son?
Ah. Not here, Ma.
Let's go somewhere, just the two of us.
Let's have coffee somewhere.
There are some people who do not want to be confronted by the truth...
So their initial reaction is to avoid...
..just to escape from the truth that they could've known.
My goodness, son. Can't you see I'm doing everything else?
Can we do this some other time? Or another day?
Because..
Whatever it is that you're going to confess to me, OK?
Especially if this is about your problem with Lally.
Okay?
Yeah. Of course, Ma.
Don't worry. Uhmm yes, maybe next time.
Alright, alright.
Hey! What's going on? You're stepping on my plants!
And that's uneven, look!
But I realized that I'm not that kind of person.
With everything that has happened. I realized; I am not afraid of the truth.
That I can face it, head-on.
Yes, I've realized that I have courage.
And I'll use that courage..
to endure everything that is happening, and will happen in my life..
My life with Vincent..
I just wish my husband was as brave as I am.
I love you...
Ma, it's too early for that! My God!
It's a pain to the ears.
Correction, please! It's already late!
You're the last one to wake up.
How come you're up so late?
If I know, you stayed up late chatting with your boys, right?
Ma, I'm loyal to Babe!
My God! The only reason I couldn't sleep last night is because...
...I was thinking about us.
Besides.. Mommy, what's wrong with us living together??
We really love each other!
Ma, take it easy with that!
Haven't we talked about this, Danny Boy?!
Why are you letting him fool you?!
He's making you his cash cow! Have some pity for yourself, okay!
Ma! Babe has a job, remember?? Besides, he's never asked for money. Ever!
How much is he earning in a call center?
And, isn't he too old to still work at a call center??
Doesn't he have any ambition?!
Ma, Babe is a Team Leader. And his salary is not that small too.
And who cares if his salary's small?! Oh c'mon!
If I help you with money matters, then why shouldn't I if Babe needs it?!
Just like you, I love him too!
Stop it, Danny Boy!
What you want to happen is not right!
Like what I've said. It's fine with me, I've accepted that you're gay..
But don't make it worse for yourself, son!
I'm your mother. I don't want you to go to hell!
Ma, please! Ma...
NO!
And if you ever disobey me,
my heart will explode from heartaches because of you...
Ma, Ma. Please, Ma?
Ma, I'm hungry! Is the Chop Suey delicious?
Yes, that's right, you eat instead! Here, eat.
That! Eating is not a sin.
Here.
Here. Eat this.
That's not a sin.
Mommy, this tastes demonic!
I mean, it's good. My, it's delicious. Very delicious!
Delicious!
Mommy, didn't you get my text message yesterday?
Tonight is the 32nd wedding anniversary of Vincent's parents.
Please bring Ate Evelyn, and her kids.
We'd better not, Lally. It might be embarrassing for your in-laws too.
Besides, we don't have any proper clothes to wear.
Mommy, please...
Balae? Please come tonight. (TN: Balae = parents of their son's/ daughter's spouse)
Would you still say no, if I'm personally inviting you?
Don't tell me you still feel uncomfortable with us? Don't be!
Alright, Balae. We'll be there.
Happy Anniversary to you and Elaine.
OK, thank you, Sandra. I'm expecting you and your family later, OK?
OK.
Alright! Bye.
Hello mommy. Did it really have to be Vincent's Dad, just to convince you?
I'll see you, Ate Evelyn and the kids tonight, OK?
Yes, Lally.
OK, Ma.
Hon.
Hmm.
Lally's family is our family too.
So could you please lower that eye brow?
It's so high, that airplane might collide with it.
Ouch.
C'mon. It's bound to be like this. Of course they have to be here.
Your jealous streak is at it again.
Okay, fine. It's fine with me.
Ah. Let's just meet to settle everything. I'll give you the cheque there.
OK? Alright, I'll see you.
Daddy, are you going out?
No 'My. It's just a short appointment, I just need to issue a cheque.
But I'll be back right away.
So I assume, you haven't talked to them yet?
Well, I tried to talk to Mom, but she's really busy with the preparations and all.
I don't think this is the right time, Lally.
I know. Let's just finish this event first, then we can both tell them.
We?
Yes! We'll both tell your parents.
So that even if they know who you really are,
they'll also be aware that.. both of us want to fix you.
To be cured and normal...
Yeah.
Mommy will be here later. She couldn't say no to your Dad's invitation.
Oh, that's good! At least our families are complete tonight.
Who wouldn't want that, right?
Yes.
It's happier if the family is complete...
Anyway, I really have to go. 'My, I'll head out for now.
But I'll be back soon.
I'll see you later.
Since we have waiters and servers,
you'll be at the entrance to meet and greet our guests.
And then, make sure they get to their assigned tables.
OK?
Yes, Ma'am.
Alright. Go ahead and prepare!
Okay. Let's go.
Hon? You take your shower too.
Stop it.
OK, I'll be the one to bathe my grandchildren Lally.
Let's go, kids!
Ah, Dad?
Yes, Lally?
What does Kuya Zandro look like?
Ah, my nephew?
There... Still gay as hell.
You know When he was young, I already had my suspicions...
His actions were too soft.. or something
And when he was a teenager,
I heard that he kept bringing girls over to Kuya's house.
I thought he was finally normal!
Turns out, he and those girls were "sisters"!
Do you think.. they can still change?
That someone like Kuya Zandro can become a straight man?
I guess.. I think so!
Because, God created only two beings...
A man and a woman.
A gay man is still a man.
For me, Zandro turned out that way because Kuya spoiled him.
Especially after his wife passed away.
That's why even if Vincent is our only child, we never spoiled him.
When he was a child, if he did something wrong, we disciplined him.
Do you think...
you can make Vi... Kuya Zandro straight?
Of course! But we don't want to get involved.
He's still Kuya's son.
But now that it seems we have permission, I think we can do something.
If I were his father, Zandro would've been cured long ago!
You know what I mean.
I see. Thank you, Dad.
What are you thanking me for?
Nothing. I'll go and check up on the kids.
Hi!
Hi, Ma! I'm glad you could make it.
So? Why did you ask me to come to our ancestral house?
Ma, I'm planning to restore this place.
It's going to cost you a lot!
Well, Ma... I have funds coming in.
My agent just called. The buyer has agreed to my price.
How much did you sell it for?
Php 8 million ($182,000). Fully furnished.
Tomorrow we'll settle the contract and I'll get the cheque.
Once I get the money, I can start on the restoration.
This will the first project of my own architectural firm.
And once it's done, then we'll sell it with a much higher mark-up.
Wow! You really got it all figured out!
Well...
Finally you're picking yourself up from that big fall.
Ma, I have to.
I've been down there for too long already, and I'm...
I'm getting bored with all my drama.
Yeah! Bored and in tears at the same time.
Oh! Tragic.
I know.
God. I'm so stupid!
Do you wanna have anything?
No, thank you.
I was in the unit when I sent you the message about the owner's asking price.
The condo is well-kept and the furniture are top of the line.
And... how about the owner? What's he like?
He's an architect, and not married. But in a hurry to sell the unit.
Well, there you go.
That's my account, but it's not under my name.
I expect that you did not disclose my name to the previous owner,
just as what we agreed, right?
Yes! But what name will I put in the contracts?
My partner in the dealership, Stanley Dela Rosa..
I'll explain everything to him.
We can talk about the transfer to my name later.
Alright! I'll just call you
once the key, and everything else, has been turned over to me.
Thank you, Sir Vincent.
Thank you.
There you go!
Well, let me see? My baby munchkin is so pretty!
Alright. You go downstairs, then tell your Kuya Diego..
that when our relatives arrive, you should both "mano," OK?
OK, Mommy.
Okay, go.
Alright.
Looking at myself now, I know that I am no longer the image of happiness..
But I know I need to look and appear happy in front of our guests.
As I stare now at my image, I know it now knows many secrets..
that I need to hide from so many people.
I need to erase the pain and unhappiness from my face,
And remove traces of sleepless nights from my eyes
because of problems..
As well as memories of hurtful exchanges between me & Vincent from my lips..
Before, I used to decide so easily what to wear.
It was because I dressed not just for myself, but also for my husband.
I want to be beautiful in his eyes all the time.
But now, I don't know what to wear anymore...
Though I know I have to wear something beautiful,
to show people that nothing has changed.
This is now my appearance since I got married..
The picture of a perfect wife.
But I no longer know the woman I am seeing in the mirror...
I know this is not me.
But still, I have to dress up to play the part of that perfect wife.
Hello. Good evening.
Pare, thank you for coming.
Mare, thank you!
Welcome! Welcome! Come in!
It's been a long time!
Thank you for coming!
These are my best friends.
Welcome! Go inside.
Come in!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Dad...
Oh?
Vincent, where have you been?! Go change your clothes.
OK. Have you seen Lally?
I asked her to bring your coat down.
She'll be here in a minute or two.
Hi, Tita. Tito.
Son. Son, your uncle is inside.
Come, let's go.
Come in!
Stan!
Oh, hi Tito!
How are you?
Well, I feel much better. I've been speaking with your mother-in-law.
She's been telling me about her life as a religious volunteer.
Okay. I'm sorry.
God bless you.
I'm glad you and Ate Evelyn made it.
We were quite hesitant because we're not used to such big occasions.
Mommy, it's just us.
Won't you give your Tito Vincent a hug? Come!
Here, come here. There.
Let's go look for your cousins.
I like big family occasions such as this.
Everybody has this sense of family and bonding.
Looking at my husband, it's as if he hasn't done anything wrong to us.
As if we're still this happy family, without any problems.
I wish we were always this happy.
The children are so adorable!
Mommy?
Oh, Lally!
Hello, 'My.
I wish my husband really was this perfect.
And I wish, our relationship was this perfect too.
But everyday is not a family occasion where everyone has to look happy,
or where Vincent and I have to pretend to be happy.
Sometimes, there's always something unexpected that happens,
that will make you come back to reality.
Despite of all my blunders for 32 long years..
God still gave me good karma, my son!
To Vincent! Armando's good karma!
Who is she?
Good evening, Dad.
Dad?! Who are you?
Dad, I'm your son.
Zandro.
How dare you come here! You're shameless!
I thought you invited me because you missed me?
You didn't say, that I should look like a man.
Make him leave!
Come here!!
Let's go here!!
You shamed my entire family!
It was you who shamed your family. You have no respect.
I don't know why, but we were both helpless.
We both couldn't stop Daddy from hurting Zando.
And when I looked at Vincent, I knew then that he was also looking at himself..
But much worse.
