Kids, I know you don't like this.
But you have to help me out with household chores.
We don't have maids anymore, and you're big kids now.
Yes, Mommy.
Hello Eric, what's up?
I just wanted to request if you could bring the kids over
to visit me here.
Yes, sure. But...
will Eric be there?
Is it not ok for Lally to have your kids see me here?
Lally's just worried about the kids.
They don't know about us yet.
Who's Tito Eric, Mommy?
He's your Daddy's best friend.
He's taking care of Daddy whenever Mommy's busy.
Uncle, it's never too late.
I hope you open your heart for Vincent.
Your family wants you back,
but I hope you'd listen to them.
Please accept my peace offering.
Daddy! Daddy!
Hello, Munchkin!
Wait, wait!
Hi, boyboy Diegs.
How can I heal?
How can I forget the pain
when there's still a connection between me
and the man who broke my heart?
We'll continue praying for you, Daddy.
So that your recovery will be faster.
So you can come home to us soon.
Shouldn't you be the one watching over him?
How will you two manage
if I'll always be here in the hospital?
When I'm sick, it's not my
best friend who's looking after me, right?
And I know how it feels.
How to be away from your kids.
I just want to ask you this.
Once you've been discharged from the hospital,
are you still going home to them?
But it's just a question, don't worry.
If you ever choose to go back to your family,
you don't have to worry about me.
I think I can live with that,
since Lally and I are now in good terms.
Beh...
I'm not the old Vincent anymore.
Okay?
But I'm still a father.
My family will always be my family.
And they need me, too, Eric.
Isn't this our agreed set-up with Lally?
Before my Dad had me abducted.
Do you think,
with all the things that has happened,
I'll go back to living a lie?
You mean...?
Yes.
Yes, at Unit 1720.
That's where my new home is.
That's where I'll make myself whole again.
I'm so proud of you, Beh.
If there's one thing that makes me happy nowadays,
that is seeing my kids joyful
and unburdened by doubts.
Their innocence gives me the advantage
in keeping them away from the sad, painful truth.
It's better, for now,
for them to remain clueless.
That their Tito Eric, in fact,
holds the key to their father's heart.
It's also better that they know nothing
about the unspoken set-up between the three of us.
Sorry, Lally.
I wasn't able to get away sooner from our site meeting.
That client is new,
so I couldn't make any excuses.
It's okay.
By the way, you need to wake Vincent
after 2 hours so he can take his medicine.
I'll go ahead.
I still need to prepare.
I'm starting my classes tomorrow.
Goodluck, Lally.
Thank you for taking care of Vincent.
Alright.
Thanks.
Yes.
I'm now an outsider in this relationship.
But do I have a choice?
I'm in love with this man.
The father of my kids.
And he is in love with another man.
And I have no choice, but to accept him, too.
It seems like yesterday,
that I caught them in a similar scene.
It nearly drove me mad.
But I think Dave's right.
I've become stronger now.
And I can face Vincent and Eric's relationship head on.
Lally!
Is Vincent still sleeping?
Ma, wait!
QUE HORROR!
What is this?
Ma...
Haven't I explained it to you before?
That I'm fine with this setup,
that I've accepted them.
Hija, I heard you loud and clear.
But do you have to be so callous about it?
Can't you just wait, until my son has fully recovered?!
This is disgusting!
Ma!
Come on!
Vincent!
Please refrain from doing such acts here in the hospital
which is part of Lally's territory
as the legal wife of the patient!
Look, Ma.
If you didn't like what you saw,
well, I didn't like it either
when you presumptuously came into my room!
Because this is just normal, Ma.
Because Eric and I love each other.
If you can't accept it,
you're free to go with Dad!
Because I've had enough of people telling me
what's right and what's wrong in my life.
Because this is my life, Ma!
I've already wasted half of it pretending!
Vincent!
Ma, let's go.
Let them be, and we'll talk.
Lally...
I didn't see this coming.
Didn't you once say that
you would rather have a gay son than a dead one.
Well, it's the same with me, Ma.
I would rather have Vincent alive than dead.
And I would rather see him happy with someone else
than sad and lonely with me.
I'm just worried about you.
I feel sorry for you, Lally.
This must be very painful for you!
Don't worry about me, Ma.
I can take it.
Think about your son's well-being first.
He's the one who's going through some issues.
He hasn't been truly happy for 30 years.
So now it's his time to be happy.
Let's just leave him be.
Both of them. That's what we need to do.
You must love my son very much!
That you're taking all of this!
Yes, Ma.
I still love your son.
That's why I want him to be happy.
The baby seems to have grown!
What did the doctor say?
When are you due?
According to the doc, about 3 months from now.
So, you're still stuck with me for some time.
You'll still need to feed me a lot!
You're funny.
You have this habit of turning everything into a joke.
Of course!
I'm tired of all the drama in my life.
So now, I prefer to laugh about it.
You mentioned earlier that
you wasted you life?
How so?
Oh, Sir, don't bother asking.
You won't like that story, let's not talk about that.
We'll be staying together for quite some time.
I think it's best
if I get to know you better.
So, what's your story?
Alright, Sir, if you insist.
I actually have my own family.
My parents are still around.
I was even a student before.
Yes, I was able to go to school.
Unfortunately, I got involved with a bad group of friends.
Alright, I'll tell you honestly, Sir.
Please don't get mad.
I was a drug addict.
So there I was,
an addict, but I didn't want to go to rehab.
I managed to escape a few times.
My parents,
they got mad and cast me out.
I had a boyfriend then.
So I lived with him.
He got you pregnant?
Yes, Sir.
I stayed with that idiot for 3 years.
When I got pregnant,
I suddenly came to my senses.
Who would have thought that this baby
would cause me to stop taking drugs.
It did come to my mind that I needed to stop
for the well-being of this child.
How did you end up living at a garbage dump?
Oh, that didn't happen immediately.
What happened was, my husband...
Sir, I did everything I could
Just so my husband would change his ways.
Problem is, in the end,
he died of a drug overdose.
Of course my parents were still mad at me.
They told me to get out of their sight.
I ended up wandering the streets, until you found me.
But why don't you go back to your family?
In my present condition, Sir?
That's not possible.
This would just be another problem for them.
My parents, well,
they don't have the capability
to take care of a baby, much less support one.
They're too old to worry about a baby.
Besides, our family is not well-off.
So there you have it.
But you, Sir,
I know for certain that you,
you'll be able to raise my child properly.
So I won't go back on our agreement.
I promise you that.
And here's the drama.
This is your fault.
Enough!
I think I just need food.
Hey, you two!
Oh, babe!
Good to see you.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
I'm tired.
I just want to rest.
Alright, let's have some rest.
Stella, let's just continue our talk tomorrow.
Goodnight!
Alright, goodnight to you two.
I'm so embarassed, Vince.
I get the feeling that they see me in such a shameful way.
Beh... don't say that.
I'm not that type of person.
I mean, I could just imagine what they're thinking of me.
I think they see me as the villain here.
I hope they understand me also.
Beh, you know this is just the start of it.
That's why I need you to be strong.
If you'll allow yourself to be discouraged,
where am I going to get my strength from?
So Beh, I need you to be strong fro me, please?
We're in this together.
Beh, we need to stand as one.
We both need to fight for this.
Please?
Eric.
Can I talk to you?
What do you want to talk about, Tita?
If this is about Vincent,
I guess by now,
you know that we wont part ways.
So don't tell me that we need to leave each other.
It's not about that, Eric.
I just want to ask you.
Do you truly love my son?
Tita...
God knows how much I love Vincent.
He's my all.
He's my everything.
Once, I tried to stay far away from him.
But even as we try to avoid each other,
fate keeps crossing our paths together.
I swear, from the bottom of my heart.
I love your son.
And I will love him forever.
I still can't comprehend your relationship.
At this point, I cannot fully accept it.
But maybe...
I'm not promising anything.
Maybe I'll get used to it.
I'm not even sure if I need to get used to it.
But more than anything,
I just want to see my son well.
So please?
Help him to get well.
Yes Tita.
Yes.
Too bad you won't be here for dinner.
I even cooked for you.
Well it's a family gathering, so I understand.
Better to indulge your parents' wishes
to have dinner with you.
Our dinner date can wait.
Anyway, I can cook for you anytime.
Okay babe, love you!
Bye.
Sir.
Sir, sorry.
I hope you won't mind.
I just wanted to ask you something.
It really is possible, isn't it?
For people like you,
both of the same gender, loving each other.
At our place, this doesn't happen.
All the gays there,
their relationships are based on money.
I guess that's how it is in the squa-squa.
Squa-squa?
Squatter's area, Sir!
That's where I lived.
That's where my parents raised me.
I had a gay friend over there.
All of his boyfriends were just after his money.
Everytime, there was usually money involved.
He was only happy whenever paydays came.
Now I know that not all gay relationships are like his.
Because you seem to love each other very much.
I know a lot of gay friends,
whose relationships are based on love.
Wait, you've barely touched your food.
That's a first!
Aren't you hungry?
No, sir. I was just thinking about
my parents.
Just wondering whether they've thought about me,
since it's my birthday tomorrow.
Your birthday?
Why haven't you said anything?
We need to celebrate!
I'll take you out to celebrate.
Sir...
You know what, sir?
I just have one wish.
What is it?
Please come with me to my parents' place.
I would like to see them.
Sir, that would be a wonderful gift for my birthday.
Really, Beh? Mama said that to you?
Wait, does this mean
that Mama now accepts our relationship?
Well... not really.
I think she was just carried away by the shock of it.
Let's face it,
everything that's happening is new to your Mom.
No, this is just like Lally before.
I know she's also in a period of adjustment.
Right?
Yeah.
It's a good start.
Yeah.
But I know it's very difficult in the beginning.
But.... change is always good.
At least now, in spite of everything,
we can see some light in our future.
So that's where you used to live?
That place with the dog?
That's Kokyo, sir.
Did you know?
He's been the family dog since I was a student.
He's quite old now.
It's a wonder he's still alive.
So, what are we waiting for?
C'mon, let's get out and go there.
I don't want to, sir!
I told you I wanted to see them,
but I didn't tell you that
I wanted to be seen.
I'm not ready to meet them.
So we're just staying in the car
to celebrate your birthday?
There she is.
Hi!
Is that your Mommy?
Go on.
Eat your food.
I'm sure you'll love this.
Go on. Aren't you feeling well?
Huh?
C'mon, let's go.
We're leaving already?
He hasn't finished eating yet.
Let him be. We need to go.
Alright, already.
Let's go.
We can leave now, sir.
I've had my happy birthday.
Let's go, sir.
Not too long ago,
I was staring at the mirror.
Wondering what mask I'll wear in front of other people.
Now, I'm staring at a different mirror.
And yet still wondering
how I'm supposed to look in front of others.
White dress.
White is a symbol of starting over,
of being honest and true.
I no longer need to pretend
to be the perfect wife.
I'll wear this and face everyone with the real me.
The real Lally.
Good morning, Ma'am.
Here's my E.A.F.
Our classes started a week ago.
Why did you report just now?
I'm very sorry Ma'am.
There was a family problem I needed to attend to,
so I was only able to report to classes today.
In fact, I haven't been able to get my uniform yet.
Well then, since you're a late-comer,
you'll need to introduce yourself
to the whole class.
And as I stare at all their young faces,
I didn't know where and how to start.
Who am I now,
and how do I begin to tell them?
Hi!
My name is Eulalia.
Yes, that's my real first name.
But, to all my friends,
and even to my family,
I prefer to be called Lally.
I was named by my mother after a patron saint
that she said she read in a calendar.
But I'm not a saint.
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life.
And I want to correct most of them,
so I came back here.
This is why I'm attending this university again.
I'm 30 years old, a lot older than all of you.
And I'll admit, even if I'm older,
I still get nervous because...
because of my age.
I just hope that
you will not see me as an older person,
or someone different from you.
I hope you'll see me as just another student
who wants to learn.
Someone who has a goal,
someone who wants to recover from past failures,
who wants to stand up on their own, and succeed.
Thank you!
I understand why you were hesitant to come back.
Sometimes it's hard to face the truth.
You're afraid to know the result of your HIV test.
But...
If they only knew my problem, Kuya.
About my illness.
You're sick? What is it?
I really hope you're just feeling sorry for her.
But you know that sometimes,
pity can develop into something else.
I really hope you know what you're doing.
I'm going out with my new found gay friends tonight!
And they said they know a super straight guy
that I think would be a perfect match for you.
So I want you to meet him.
Beh?
Beh?!
Who's Beh?
