Forbidden Desire (2024) Movie Script
1
Thank you.
Wow, you're so hardworking.
Hey, wait.
Are you done with your tasks
for the restaurant expansion?
Of course.
Deck?
All done.
Don't you have any deliverables
left for your clients?
They're all for approval.
Are you sure? I don't want you
to get scolded.
Wow, are we having a feast?
Did you help cook these?
What's for dinner?
Wow, braised pork! My favorite.
Ubel.
I've seen your grades.
Congratulations.
You're a consistent dean's lister.
It seems like being a medical
student is so easy for you.
Thank you.
You are the perfect daughter that
every parent will love.
You don't waste opportunities
that come to you.
Agatha.
Have you forwarded the proposal
for Mr. Cruz?
- Yes, Dad.
- Very good.
Is the file in PDF format?
You know Mr. Cruz,
he gets irritated if
it's not in PDF format.
He accidentally edits a document
if it's not in PDF format.
Hey.
What's happening to you?
I think it wasn't a PDF file.
My goodness.
I was so sleepy
so I sent it right away.
Not in a PDF format? Agatha.
You are the marketing head
of expansion.
You've always done it. Why does
it seem like you're clueless?
- I'll just call--
- Don't.
I'll do it. Do I have to check
on your every move?
You can't even do a simple task!
Hello, Mr. Cruz?
How are you?
Do you want some ice cream?
To calm you down.
Are you okay?
My dessert is Dad's scolding.
Do you think I'd want that?
I'm not your enemy.
I don't want to fight you.
My anxiety level whenever
I see Dad...
I feel like I'm going to die.
He always sees my mistakes.
Why is Dad like that?
He treats me like
I'm not his daughter.
He treats you like his own.
He's prouder of you than me.
I'm glad we knew each other.
When I was a kid,
I was happy that Sir June chose
to sponsor me in the orphanage.
He paid for my studies.
He even paid for my apartment.
You were like a superhero
back then.
When I was being bullied,
you stood up for me,
that's why Dad liked you.
We're great, aren't we?
Best friends turned into lovers.
When did we meet again?
When was it?
Happy friendship anniversary!
Today is the day we met.
It was the day that
changed my life.
That's beautiful.
Sorry, I didn't get you a gift.
It slipped my mind because of Dad.
It's okay.
I'm used to it.
Kidding.
Ever since I met you,
I never felt that I was alone.
What's our BFF promise again?
Hey, you're too harsh!
Of course, I won't forget that.
Leave no one behind.
Always.
How do you do that?
Do what?
Being top of your class
as a medical student,
while working as a
part-time virtual assistant.
Even though Dad supports you.
Well, I have no other
options in life.
You're the only one I have.
And my dream of
becoming a doctor.
If I don't do my best,
I might lose you.
In being a virtual assistant,
I want to show your dad that
I am resourceful.
I can provide for you.
So that when the time comes
that we will come out to him,
he can entrust you to me.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I was just...
...surprised with what you said.
Let's just enjoy the present.
Let's not think too far ahead.
Alright.
Okay, team.
Make sure all the deliverables
that we have are ready.
Let's show our investors
that they were right in
choosing us.
We are going to be the biggest
restaurant in the Philippines.
Sir.
Oh?
No mistakes.
No excuses.
Enjoy your weekend.
Okay.
Okay, I have to go.
I'm so sorry, I'll go ahead.
Ma'am is in a hurry.
Maybe she has a date.
- She has a date.
- Ooh, a date.
You have a date?
Go on, so you can
give me a grandchild.
And make up for
your shortcomings.
Oh?
Meeting adjourned.
Oh?
What happened?
Its just a movie and chill
kind of date,
but it seems like youre not
in the mood for it.
It's because of Daddy.
Why?
What is it this time?
You're still not used to him?
If you always let him get to you,
you won't achieve anything.
I was teased by the people
at the restaurant earlier.
Then Dad suddenly said he wants
to have a grandchild.
So I can make up for my failures.
Then?
What if Daddy finds out
about us?
What will happen to me?
What will happen to us?
I don't know!
When will we come out?
Do you want us to just
hide forever?
That's not what I meant.
But...
But what?
I'm waiting for the right timing.
Hey.
Don't be mad.
It's always like this.
This is the first time I'm
seeing you like that.
It's scary.
Hey.
Don't be mad.
Here's your coffee, sir.
Thank you, Manang.
Why are you still standing there?
Are you okay?
I'm okay, sir.
It's just that...
I find Agatha and Ubel indecent.
Why is that?
They're too old to act like that.
It seems...
Like...
Maybe they're also like that
outside the house.
People might think of that
as inappropriate.
Manang...
You've seen them
grow up, haven't you?
When I sponsored Ubel,
those two have become
like sisters to each other.
I am just confused.
They are both...
- ...beautiful
- Oh.
- and educated.
- Oh.
But...
It seems like...
They never had boyfriends.
Manang.
I think they're looking for you
in the kitchen.
You're just making up
rumors about them.
Maybe they're just picky.
- Thank you.
- Alright, sir.
I'm sorry.
Agatha.
I have a Zoom meeting later.
You'll attend in my place. Okay?
Okay, Dad.
Ubel, did you sleep here?
I didn't notice you.
Ah... yes.
Do you have a problem
with your apartment?
It's fine.
Thank you.
I just noticed that
you're always here
even though you are
busy with school.
And I heard you're also
a virtual assistant?
Well, I don't have a problem
with you staying here.
I want you to tell me if there's
any problem with your apartment
so we can find you another one.
Alright.
I'm going out later.
I'm going to the wake of
my high school classmate.
You know,
I feel sorry for my classmate.
She died...
...a spinster. No husband,
no child.
No one cared for her.
Alright, Dad. We'll go
upstairs and get dressed.
Wait.
I want to ask you something.
Haven't you two been in
any romantic relationships?
You know...
It's hard to live alone.
You need to find a man
who's responsible and
who will love you.
I'm in a relationship but
it's complicated.
What's complicated about
a relationship between a
man and a woman?
I'm busy with medical school
so I can't fully commit.
Well, that makes sense.
How about you, Agatha?
I don't have a boyfriend
yet, Dad.
You know...
You need to find a man
who can provide for you.
Who can give everything
you want.
Someone who can give you a child.
So someone can take care
of you when you're old.
Right?
It's like a hotel function room...
Agatha. Are you busy?
Not so much. I'm just
finishing something.
Well...
Lawrence, I'd like you to meet
my daughter, Agatha.
Lawrence is a businessman.
He is the supplier of
livestock products
to major restaurants in
the Philippines.
Lawrence, this is Agatha.
Hi, I'm Lawrence.
Agatha.
You know what?
Neither of you wants
to get married yet.
You're too focused on
your life goals.
So your dad and I agreed that...
You two would click. You know?
You're both workaholics.
Problems at work?
I don't want to talk about it,
I'm not in the mood.
What's the problem?
Why?
Hey.
Earlier, Dad...
He introduced me to a man.
It's awkward. So annoying.
This is what I'm afraid of.
What's your plan for us?
You'll keep me hidden in
a box forever?
I know you're struggling.
But I'm having a hard time too.
Have you ever thought about
what could happen?
What could happen?
Here we go again.
Over and over.
Do you want the truth?
What's the truth? Come on.
My dad won't accept us.
The people around us
won't accept us.
You're smart.
You should know that.
You're scared that people
won't accept you?
Or maybe you're scared
that you can't accept yourself?
What are you doing here?
How long have you been here?
No, I just got here.
I brought you food.
It's delicious. My mom made it.
I'm sorry for what
happened last time.
I was forced to go because
your dad picked me up.
It would be embarrassing if...
I didn't go.
I was surprised too.
He just suddenly introduced you.
He didn't give me a heads-up.
It's annoying.
They still treat us like kids
even though we're old
enough to decide.
They still want to be in control.
Dad is pressuring me to
start a family.
He thinks what he's
asking is easy to do.
Same with me.
Don't get me wrong.
You're beautiful.
And I know we can get along.
But I still have personal goals
that I want to achieve.
I don't want to rush.
I wish they had thought
of that too.
I wish they're thinking of
what we want,
and not what they want for us.
Thank God we're on
the same page.
So what are we going to do?
Well.
All they want is for us to talk.
So let's give them what they want.
Let's talk.
As early as now, I'm warning you.
My dad is stubborn.
He's a bit pushy
to get what he wants.
Is there anyone more
stubborn than my dad?
What if...
We get your dad
and my dad to get married?
After all, they're already
getting along, right?
Are you both okay?
Agatha, you haven't introduced
me to your friend yet.
I'm Lawrence.
I'm Ubel. Agatha's girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Yes, girlfriend.
Female friend.
Girl best friend.
That's why...
It seems like there is a
screening committee.
But it's a good trait for a best friend.
Protective.
Come on. Let's eat.
I'm sorry, but...
Agatha doesn't eat
high-calorie food.
We're starting to do
calorie deficit.
She doesn't want high-calorie food.
Yes? Do you have a problem?
Nothing.
It has mayonnaise dressing...
It's high in calories.
You're a know-it-all, aren't you?
I'm not. Why are you so grumpy?
You're too protective of Agatha.
It's good that you've told me
you're best friends
because if not,
I would think you're
in a relationship.
I guess
we can both eat that?
Let's eat.
Okay.
Uhm...
You can eat.
What was your problem?
What's your problem?
Huh?
I'm not blind.
I saw you laughing with him.
He's just nice.
What do you want me
to do? Ignore him?
What will I say to Daddy?
Are you blind?
It's obvious that he likes you.
So?
You're acting stupid?
Lawrence is a good man.
Like me, his parents are also
forcing him to get married.
He's also in a bind.
Why do I feel like I have a rival?
You can't prevent me from
getting worried and jealous.
You have nothing to
be jealous of.
He doesn't like me either.
You shouldn't have
disrespected him.
He's not doing anything wrong.
He's just following orders.
So you're defending him now?
It's not like that.
I just want you to treat him well.
If only you would
talk to him seriously,
I'm sure you won't
feel that way.
Why does it seem like you
know him well already?
Huh?
You're difficult to talk to.
We don't understand each other.
What if I'm the one talking
to someone like Lawrence?
Would you feel happy?
I won't get angry because
I'm not narrow-minded.
We are not the only people
in the world.
Isn't it weird that...
We're still here...
even if your daddy went
upstairs already?
He said I should entertain you.
How will you entertain me?
Are you an entertainer?
You're silly.
But, seriously.
Won't your dad get angry that
we're both still here?
He likes you a lot so
he won't get angry.
Now...
I know why Ubel is so
protective of you.
She owes your family a lot.
Are you okay?
Don't be pressured.
We don't need to please our parents.
If...
You want us to be just friends...
It's okay.
If...
That's what you want.
You know...
For the first time,
my dad was really happy
because of you.
Maybe...
He would be happier
if we'd end up together.
Do you think you'll like me?
Why not?
I like your company.
I think we'll get along.
What if...
We become a couple?
A couple?
Are we a couple now?
Yes.
Wow, someone's making up to me.
How's Lawrence?
Is he still bothering you?
Let's not talk about him.
What's the problem?
Is Sir June bothering you?
Lawrence is already my boyfriend.
I thought we were okay.
What did we just do?
Goodbye sex?
Let me explain.
What lie will you tell me this time?
I'm trying to understand you
because I love you.
You fooled me!
How about our promise
to each other?
Tell me.
That we'll be together forever.
What?!
Say something!
You're not gonna say anything?
Say everything you want to say!
Do you want to hurt me? Do it!
How dare you act like that.
You're shameless.
After you lied to me?
You treat me this way?
I did this...
So Daddy will be proud of me.
Even if he doesn't say it...
My whole life, he made me feel like
Mom's death was my fault.
Lawrence...
He's the reason why Daddy
is pleased with me.
Can you blame me for doing this?
I've been waiting my whole life
for the day to come
that I would feel like
I am my Dad's daughter.
But do we need to
make a sacrifice?
Sorry.
But we need to break up.
It's delicious.
Dad. Lawrence and I
are now dating.
Are you guys serious?
Oh my god. I'm so happy.
I'm so proud of you.
Should I welcome you
to the family?
Uhm... sir.
I promise that...
I'll love and take care of
your daughter.
More than my life.
You know, I'm friends with your dad.
He's a good man.
I know he raised you right.
You don't have to promise me.
I know you'll care for Agatha
and treat her right.
Congrats.
You deserve each other.
How about you, Ubel?
When will you introduce
your partner to us?
So you can have a double
date with your best friend!
He broke up with me.
What happened?
He was ashamed of me.
Maybe because...
I am an orphan.
You know,
you will also find the
right person for you.
You're lucky, Lawrence.
My partner and Agatha
are very different.
Right, Agatha?
I'll say my goodbyes now.
I'm leaving.
I might be gone for a week.
And will not be able
to visit here.
I have a lot to do at school.
Also...
My part-time job's schedule
got changed.
Anyway, when you need anything,
just call us.
I'll go upstairs first.
Okay.
Congrats.
Thank you.
Baby.
I have a friend who is
looking for a date,
Maybe we can refer Ubel?
- Why her?
- No reason.
I just remembered what
she said before
that her boyfriend broke up
with her, right?
So maybe...
I thought she might
be available.
I don't know if she'd want to.
We haven't talked to each
other for weeks.
Did you two fight?
We didn't.
Maybe she's just busy at
work and school.
You didn't fight because of me?
Not at all.
I'll just check my phone
for messages.
How are you?
I'm okay.
You've been gone for a long time.
Should I even answer that?
- Isn't it obvious?
- Sorry.
I was really hurt by what you did.
So I decided to leave for a while.
But something happened.
Why? What happened?
I have a classmate
who wanted to court me
for a long time.
But I rejected him.
He messed around my apartment.
He wanted to get in.
When did that start?
It's been a while.
I just didn't tell you earlier.
I didn't want to...
...add to your problems.
You should have told me that.
I filed a report but...
I'm still scared to stay alone
in that apartment.
So I want to move somewhere
near the school.
But...
I haven't found a place yet.
Maybe it's better for you
to stay here in the meantime.
I won't have to worry.
Why are you studying here?
You and Lawrence were too noisy.
I can't focus. So I moved here.
Sorry.
Is Lawrence good?
Which of us is better in bed?
Do you love him more than me?
Does he make you happy...
...as much as I did?
Good morning.
What's up? Where's Lawrence?
Are you going to tell him?
Lawrence left earlier.
Try the breakfast I made for you.
Tell him what?
Wait.
Why did you make an effort?
Here you go again.
Acting like you have no idea.
Sorry, but I really don't
understand.
Something happened to
us last night, right?
So, that means...
We're back together.
Are you going to break
up with Lawrence?
What?
Last night was just a
one-time thing.
I missed you, but...
That doesn't mean
I'll break up with him.
So you just used me last night?
You just used me to finish?
Or we just misunderstood
each other--
Wait.
A misunderstanding?
What am I to you?
Do you think so little of me?
I'm sorry if you thought we could
return to how we were.
What am I to you?
An object that you'd throw away
when you don't need me anymore?
You know,
in my whole life,
I've never felt like this.
I've never felt worse than trash.
I will never forget this.
Give us a few more minutes.
She should be here.
She just messaged me.
Anyway, once you see
the presentations,
it's gonna blow your--
Great.
- Finally.
- Hey. I'm sorry, I'm late.
That's okay.
So...
We will now present our
marketing ideas
for our business expansion.
This is gonna be exciting.
- Will that take long?
- I'm sorry.
I can't open it.
Please give me a minute.
Trying to fix it.
What's missing? Anything I can do?
June.
We should reschedule.
Mr. Ligot.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
We can't fix this now.
I'll go ahead.
I'll have my secretary call you
for our next meeting.
Thank you very much.
Be safe.
You're so stupid!
You know that Mr. Ligot
is an important investor, right?
- I'm sorry, Dad.
- Sorry?
What's going on with you?
I sent you to a good school.
And this is what you give me?
Huh?
What's going on with your head?
You know.
Your mom.
My wife.
Died!
Giving birth...
To you.
Agatha, you are such a
disappointment.
I've decided to
hire you for our business.
We need a sharp mind
like yours.
We'll train you until you
can be head of marketing.
Like me, Dad?
But...
Let's stop the failures
in the restaurant.
You'll accept it, won't you?
I will accept it, sir.
Good decision.
I'll just do something.
Can we talk?
I said, can we talk?
What do you want us
to talk about?
Answer me.
What do you want
to talk about first?
Your filthy act with Lawrence?
Or stealing my job?
I don't want to steal
anything from you.
Your job?
It's yours!
How about Lawrence?
Why did you do that?
Revenge?
I don't want any trouble.
But you already started it!
If I knew we would
come to this,
I wish I hadn't met you.
I wish...
You just rotted in the orphanage.
I know you're saying that
because you're angry.
But what you said...
That's foul.
Our sales are good now.
Good job.
Do you have the report
for tomorrow?
Where?
Oh, this?
Okay.
What I want you to do...
Why does it smell like
a freeloading snake here?
Oh no. Be careful.
Maybe someday,
you'd get bitten by a
freeloading snake.
Especially those ungrateful ones.
You're too much.
Too much?
I'm going too much?
I'm still holding myself together.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go!
Aren't you ashamed?
Ma'am, that's enough.
That's enough.
Are you okay?
I'm tired.
Dad and I fought again.
You'll get along eventually.
It's just the two of you.
He can't resist you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you so much.
Can we talk?
Oh, please.
I don't want to fight.
Relax.
I'm not here to fight you.
I've thought about what I did.
You don't deserve what I did.
I hurt you first.
So I should be the first
to apologize.
I'm sorry too because...
I didn't want us to be like this.
You are the only family
that I have.
What if...
Let's go on a road trip
and camping?
Like the old times.
Just the two of us.
To destress.
Like what we do when our lives
become too toxic, right?
Even though a lot has happened,
we're able to do this again.
Is this a new campsite?
We've never been here before.
There's no one else.
Is it safe here?
Of course.
I really looked for a secluded place.
I want to disconnect
from everything.
So we can restore our
friendship like before.
You know what?
We should do this weekly.
Until we grow old.
Wait. We're running out of beer.
I'll get some.
No.
Let me.
I'm making up to you.
Let me serve you.
You've always served me
ever since.
So now, I'll do it.
Stay there.
What took you so long?
You missed me already?
You know what?
We should do this weekly.
Until we grow old.
Until then.
I'm having trouble breathing.
It's stressful being a bride.
There's a lot to plan
and organize.
Just relax. That's why we're
going to the campsite
to get away from people.
We're getting close.
You can breathe now.
It's exhausting, but...
I am so happy that
I am marrying you.
Too bad Ubel's not here.
She could help you in
planning everything.
She's gone for a year now.
I hope we find her.
Let's not talk about her.
My trauma about what happened
to her hasn't gone away.
Huh?
- What happened?
- The brakes stopped working.
There are no brakes?
How are you feeling?
How are you alive?
Where am I?
Where's Lawrence?
Don't worry.
I won't do what you did to me.
But Lawrence?
He's dead.
You animal!
You even involved Lawrence!
How can you do this to me?
How can you do this to me?
I planned everything.
I broke your laptop
that made you fail the presentation.
Lawrence and I's dirty little secret?
I set that up.
I charmed him.
I also charmed your dad
so I can get your job.
I also destroyed your brakes.
How did you survive?
You died!
You should be dead!
I've known you since
we were young.
I know you were planning something.
We promised each other
to be together forever, right?
Ubel! Ubel!
Ubel!
Thank you.
Wow, you're so hardworking.
Hey, wait.
Are you done with your tasks
for the restaurant expansion?
Of course.
Deck?
All done.
Don't you have any deliverables
left for your clients?
They're all for approval.
Are you sure? I don't want you
to get scolded.
Wow, are we having a feast?
Did you help cook these?
What's for dinner?
Wow, braised pork! My favorite.
Ubel.
I've seen your grades.
Congratulations.
You're a consistent dean's lister.
It seems like being a medical
student is so easy for you.
Thank you.
You are the perfect daughter that
every parent will love.
You don't waste opportunities
that come to you.
Agatha.
Have you forwarded the proposal
for Mr. Cruz?
- Yes, Dad.
- Very good.
Is the file in PDF format?
You know Mr. Cruz,
he gets irritated if
it's not in PDF format.
He accidentally edits a document
if it's not in PDF format.
Hey.
What's happening to you?
I think it wasn't a PDF file.
My goodness.
I was so sleepy
so I sent it right away.
Not in a PDF format? Agatha.
You are the marketing head
of expansion.
You've always done it. Why does
it seem like you're clueless?
- I'll just call--
- Don't.
I'll do it. Do I have to check
on your every move?
You can't even do a simple task!
Hello, Mr. Cruz?
How are you?
Do you want some ice cream?
To calm you down.
Are you okay?
My dessert is Dad's scolding.
Do you think I'd want that?
I'm not your enemy.
I don't want to fight you.
My anxiety level whenever
I see Dad...
I feel like I'm going to die.
He always sees my mistakes.
Why is Dad like that?
He treats me like
I'm not his daughter.
He treats you like his own.
He's prouder of you than me.
I'm glad we knew each other.
When I was a kid,
I was happy that Sir June chose
to sponsor me in the orphanage.
He paid for my studies.
He even paid for my apartment.
You were like a superhero
back then.
When I was being bullied,
you stood up for me,
that's why Dad liked you.
We're great, aren't we?
Best friends turned into lovers.
When did we meet again?
When was it?
Happy friendship anniversary!
Today is the day we met.
It was the day that
changed my life.
That's beautiful.
Sorry, I didn't get you a gift.
It slipped my mind because of Dad.
It's okay.
I'm used to it.
Kidding.
Ever since I met you,
I never felt that I was alone.
What's our BFF promise again?
Hey, you're too harsh!
Of course, I won't forget that.
Leave no one behind.
Always.
How do you do that?
Do what?
Being top of your class
as a medical student,
while working as a
part-time virtual assistant.
Even though Dad supports you.
Well, I have no other
options in life.
You're the only one I have.
And my dream of
becoming a doctor.
If I don't do my best,
I might lose you.
In being a virtual assistant,
I want to show your dad that
I am resourceful.
I can provide for you.
So that when the time comes
that we will come out to him,
he can entrust you to me.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I was just...
...surprised with what you said.
Let's just enjoy the present.
Let's not think too far ahead.
Alright.
Okay, team.
Make sure all the deliverables
that we have are ready.
Let's show our investors
that they were right in
choosing us.
We are going to be the biggest
restaurant in the Philippines.
Sir.
Oh?
No mistakes.
No excuses.
Enjoy your weekend.
Okay.
Okay, I have to go.
I'm so sorry, I'll go ahead.
Ma'am is in a hurry.
Maybe she has a date.
- She has a date.
- Ooh, a date.
You have a date?
Go on, so you can
give me a grandchild.
And make up for
your shortcomings.
Oh?
Meeting adjourned.
Oh?
What happened?
Its just a movie and chill
kind of date,
but it seems like youre not
in the mood for it.
It's because of Daddy.
Why?
What is it this time?
You're still not used to him?
If you always let him get to you,
you won't achieve anything.
I was teased by the people
at the restaurant earlier.
Then Dad suddenly said he wants
to have a grandchild.
So I can make up for my failures.
Then?
What if Daddy finds out
about us?
What will happen to me?
What will happen to us?
I don't know!
When will we come out?
Do you want us to just
hide forever?
That's not what I meant.
But...
But what?
I'm waiting for the right timing.
Hey.
Don't be mad.
It's always like this.
This is the first time I'm
seeing you like that.
It's scary.
Hey.
Don't be mad.
Here's your coffee, sir.
Thank you, Manang.
Why are you still standing there?
Are you okay?
I'm okay, sir.
It's just that...
I find Agatha and Ubel indecent.
Why is that?
They're too old to act like that.
It seems...
Like...
Maybe they're also like that
outside the house.
People might think of that
as inappropriate.
Manang...
You've seen them
grow up, haven't you?
When I sponsored Ubel,
those two have become
like sisters to each other.
I am just confused.
They are both...
- ...beautiful
- Oh.
- and educated.
- Oh.
But...
It seems like...
They never had boyfriends.
Manang.
I think they're looking for you
in the kitchen.
You're just making up
rumors about them.
Maybe they're just picky.
- Thank you.
- Alright, sir.
I'm sorry.
Agatha.
I have a Zoom meeting later.
You'll attend in my place. Okay?
Okay, Dad.
Ubel, did you sleep here?
I didn't notice you.
Ah... yes.
Do you have a problem
with your apartment?
It's fine.
Thank you.
I just noticed that
you're always here
even though you are
busy with school.
And I heard you're also
a virtual assistant?
Well, I don't have a problem
with you staying here.
I want you to tell me if there's
any problem with your apartment
so we can find you another one.
Alright.
I'm going out later.
I'm going to the wake of
my high school classmate.
You know,
I feel sorry for my classmate.
She died...
...a spinster. No husband,
no child.
No one cared for her.
Alright, Dad. We'll go
upstairs and get dressed.
Wait.
I want to ask you something.
Haven't you two been in
any romantic relationships?
You know...
It's hard to live alone.
You need to find a man
who's responsible and
who will love you.
I'm in a relationship but
it's complicated.
What's complicated about
a relationship between a
man and a woman?
I'm busy with medical school
so I can't fully commit.
Well, that makes sense.
How about you, Agatha?
I don't have a boyfriend
yet, Dad.
You know...
You need to find a man
who can provide for you.
Who can give everything
you want.
Someone who can give you a child.
So someone can take care
of you when you're old.
Right?
It's like a hotel function room...
Agatha. Are you busy?
Not so much. I'm just
finishing something.
Well...
Lawrence, I'd like you to meet
my daughter, Agatha.
Lawrence is a businessman.
He is the supplier of
livestock products
to major restaurants in
the Philippines.
Lawrence, this is Agatha.
Hi, I'm Lawrence.
Agatha.
You know what?
Neither of you wants
to get married yet.
You're too focused on
your life goals.
So your dad and I agreed that...
You two would click. You know?
You're both workaholics.
Problems at work?
I don't want to talk about it,
I'm not in the mood.
What's the problem?
Why?
Hey.
Earlier, Dad...
He introduced me to a man.
It's awkward. So annoying.
This is what I'm afraid of.
What's your plan for us?
You'll keep me hidden in
a box forever?
I know you're struggling.
But I'm having a hard time too.
Have you ever thought about
what could happen?
What could happen?
Here we go again.
Over and over.
Do you want the truth?
What's the truth? Come on.
My dad won't accept us.
The people around us
won't accept us.
You're smart.
You should know that.
You're scared that people
won't accept you?
Or maybe you're scared
that you can't accept yourself?
What are you doing here?
How long have you been here?
No, I just got here.
I brought you food.
It's delicious. My mom made it.
I'm sorry for what
happened last time.
I was forced to go because
your dad picked me up.
It would be embarrassing if...
I didn't go.
I was surprised too.
He just suddenly introduced you.
He didn't give me a heads-up.
It's annoying.
They still treat us like kids
even though we're old
enough to decide.
They still want to be in control.
Dad is pressuring me to
start a family.
He thinks what he's
asking is easy to do.
Same with me.
Don't get me wrong.
You're beautiful.
And I know we can get along.
But I still have personal goals
that I want to achieve.
I don't want to rush.
I wish they had thought
of that too.
I wish they're thinking of
what we want,
and not what they want for us.
Thank God we're on
the same page.
So what are we going to do?
Well.
All they want is for us to talk.
So let's give them what they want.
Let's talk.
As early as now, I'm warning you.
My dad is stubborn.
He's a bit pushy
to get what he wants.
Is there anyone more
stubborn than my dad?
What if...
We get your dad
and my dad to get married?
After all, they're already
getting along, right?
Are you both okay?
Agatha, you haven't introduced
me to your friend yet.
I'm Lawrence.
I'm Ubel. Agatha's girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Yes, girlfriend.
Female friend.
Girl best friend.
That's why...
It seems like there is a
screening committee.
But it's a good trait for a best friend.
Protective.
Come on. Let's eat.
I'm sorry, but...
Agatha doesn't eat
high-calorie food.
We're starting to do
calorie deficit.
She doesn't want high-calorie food.
Yes? Do you have a problem?
Nothing.
It has mayonnaise dressing...
It's high in calories.
You're a know-it-all, aren't you?
I'm not. Why are you so grumpy?
You're too protective of Agatha.
It's good that you've told me
you're best friends
because if not,
I would think you're
in a relationship.
I guess
we can both eat that?
Let's eat.
Okay.
Uhm...
You can eat.
What was your problem?
What's your problem?
Huh?
I'm not blind.
I saw you laughing with him.
He's just nice.
What do you want me
to do? Ignore him?
What will I say to Daddy?
Are you blind?
It's obvious that he likes you.
So?
You're acting stupid?
Lawrence is a good man.
Like me, his parents are also
forcing him to get married.
He's also in a bind.
Why do I feel like I have a rival?
You can't prevent me from
getting worried and jealous.
You have nothing to
be jealous of.
He doesn't like me either.
You shouldn't have
disrespected him.
He's not doing anything wrong.
He's just following orders.
So you're defending him now?
It's not like that.
I just want you to treat him well.
If only you would
talk to him seriously,
I'm sure you won't
feel that way.
Why does it seem like you
know him well already?
Huh?
You're difficult to talk to.
We don't understand each other.
What if I'm the one talking
to someone like Lawrence?
Would you feel happy?
I won't get angry because
I'm not narrow-minded.
We are not the only people
in the world.
Isn't it weird that...
We're still here...
even if your daddy went
upstairs already?
He said I should entertain you.
How will you entertain me?
Are you an entertainer?
You're silly.
But, seriously.
Won't your dad get angry that
we're both still here?
He likes you a lot so
he won't get angry.
Now...
I know why Ubel is so
protective of you.
She owes your family a lot.
Are you okay?
Don't be pressured.
We don't need to please our parents.
If...
You want us to be just friends...
It's okay.
If...
That's what you want.
You know...
For the first time,
my dad was really happy
because of you.
Maybe...
He would be happier
if we'd end up together.
Do you think you'll like me?
Why not?
I like your company.
I think we'll get along.
What if...
We become a couple?
A couple?
Are we a couple now?
Yes.
Wow, someone's making up to me.
How's Lawrence?
Is he still bothering you?
Let's not talk about him.
What's the problem?
Is Sir June bothering you?
Lawrence is already my boyfriend.
I thought we were okay.
What did we just do?
Goodbye sex?
Let me explain.
What lie will you tell me this time?
I'm trying to understand you
because I love you.
You fooled me!
How about our promise
to each other?
Tell me.
That we'll be together forever.
What?!
Say something!
You're not gonna say anything?
Say everything you want to say!
Do you want to hurt me? Do it!
How dare you act like that.
You're shameless.
After you lied to me?
You treat me this way?
I did this...
So Daddy will be proud of me.
Even if he doesn't say it...
My whole life, he made me feel like
Mom's death was my fault.
Lawrence...
He's the reason why Daddy
is pleased with me.
Can you blame me for doing this?
I've been waiting my whole life
for the day to come
that I would feel like
I am my Dad's daughter.
But do we need to
make a sacrifice?
Sorry.
But we need to break up.
It's delicious.
Dad. Lawrence and I
are now dating.
Are you guys serious?
Oh my god. I'm so happy.
I'm so proud of you.
Should I welcome you
to the family?
Uhm... sir.
I promise that...
I'll love and take care of
your daughter.
More than my life.
You know, I'm friends with your dad.
He's a good man.
I know he raised you right.
You don't have to promise me.
I know you'll care for Agatha
and treat her right.
Congrats.
You deserve each other.
How about you, Ubel?
When will you introduce
your partner to us?
So you can have a double
date with your best friend!
He broke up with me.
What happened?
He was ashamed of me.
Maybe because...
I am an orphan.
You know,
you will also find the
right person for you.
You're lucky, Lawrence.
My partner and Agatha
are very different.
Right, Agatha?
I'll say my goodbyes now.
I'm leaving.
I might be gone for a week.
And will not be able
to visit here.
I have a lot to do at school.
Also...
My part-time job's schedule
got changed.
Anyway, when you need anything,
just call us.
I'll go upstairs first.
Okay.
Congrats.
Thank you.
Baby.
I have a friend who is
looking for a date,
Maybe we can refer Ubel?
- Why her?
- No reason.
I just remembered what
she said before
that her boyfriend broke up
with her, right?
So maybe...
I thought she might
be available.
I don't know if she'd want to.
We haven't talked to each
other for weeks.
Did you two fight?
We didn't.
Maybe she's just busy at
work and school.
You didn't fight because of me?
Not at all.
I'll just check my phone
for messages.
How are you?
I'm okay.
You've been gone for a long time.
Should I even answer that?
- Isn't it obvious?
- Sorry.
I was really hurt by what you did.
So I decided to leave for a while.
But something happened.
Why? What happened?
I have a classmate
who wanted to court me
for a long time.
But I rejected him.
He messed around my apartment.
He wanted to get in.
When did that start?
It's been a while.
I just didn't tell you earlier.
I didn't want to...
...add to your problems.
You should have told me that.
I filed a report but...
I'm still scared to stay alone
in that apartment.
So I want to move somewhere
near the school.
But...
I haven't found a place yet.
Maybe it's better for you
to stay here in the meantime.
I won't have to worry.
Why are you studying here?
You and Lawrence were too noisy.
I can't focus. So I moved here.
Sorry.
Is Lawrence good?
Which of us is better in bed?
Do you love him more than me?
Does he make you happy...
...as much as I did?
Good morning.
What's up? Where's Lawrence?
Are you going to tell him?
Lawrence left earlier.
Try the breakfast I made for you.
Tell him what?
Wait.
Why did you make an effort?
Here you go again.
Acting like you have no idea.
Sorry, but I really don't
understand.
Something happened to
us last night, right?
So, that means...
We're back together.
Are you going to break
up with Lawrence?
What?
Last night was just a
one-time thing.
I missed you, but...
That doesn't mean
I'll break up with him.
So you just used me last night?
You just used me to finish?
Or we just misunderstood
each other--
Wait.
A misunderstanding?
What am I to you?
Do you think so little of me?
I'm sorry if you thought we could
return to how we were.
What am I to you?
An object that you'd throw away
when you don't need me anymore?
You know,
in my whole life,
I've never felt like this.
I've never felt worse than trash.
I will never forget this.
Give us a few more minutes.
She should be here.
She just messaged me.
Anyway, once you see
the presentations,
it's gonna blow your--
Great.
- Finally.
- Hey. I'm sorry, I'm late.
That's okay.
So...
We will now present our
marketing ideas
for our business expansion.
This is gonna be exciting.
- Will that take long?
- I'm sorry.
I can't open it.
Please give me a minute.
Trying to fix it.
What's missing? Anything I can do?
June.
We should reschedule.
Mr. Ligot.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
We can't fix this now.
I'll go ahead.
I'll have my secretary call you
for our next meeting.
Thank you very much.
Be safe.
You're so stupid!
You know that Mr. Ligot
is an important investor, right?
- I'm sorry, Dad.
- Sorry?
What's going on with you?
I sent you to a good school.
And this is what you give me?
Huh?
What's going on with your head?
You know.
Your mom.
My wife.
Died!
Giving birth...
To you.
Agatha, you are such a
disappointment.
I've decided to
hire you for our business.
We need a sharp mind
like yours.
We'll train you until you
can be head of marketing.
Like me, Dad?
But...
Let's stop the failures
in the restaurant.
You'll accept it, won't you?
I will accept it, sir.
Good decision.
I'll just do something.
Can we talk?
I said, can we talk?
What do you want us
to talk about?
Answer me.
What do you want
to talk about first?
Your filthy act with Lawrence?
Or stealing my job?
I don't want to steal
anything from you.
Your job?
It's yours!
How about Lawrence?
Why did you do that?
Revenge?
I don't want any trouble.
But you already started it!
If I knew we would
come to this,
I wish I hadn't met you.
I wish...
You just rotted in the orphanage.
I know you're saying that
because you're angry.
But what you said...
That's foul.
Our sales are good now.
Good job.
Do you have the report
for tomorrow?
Where?
Oh, this?
Okay.
What I want you to do...
Why does it smell like
a freeloading snake here?
Oh no. Be careful.
Maybe someday,
you'd get bitten by a
freeloading snake.
Especially those ungrateful ones.
You're too much.
Too much?
I'm going too much?
I'm still holding myself together.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go!
Aren't you ashamed?
Ma'am, that's enough.
That's enough.
Are you okay?
I'm tired.
Dad and I fought again.
You'll get along eventually.
It's just the two of you.
He can't resist you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you so much.
Can we talk?
Oh, please.
I don't want to fight.
Relax.
I'm not here to fight you.
I've thought about what I did.
You don't deserve what I did.
I hurt you first.
So I should be the first
to apologize.
I'm sorry too because...
I didn't want us to be like this.
You are the only family
that I have.
What if...
Let's go on a road trip
and camping?
Like the old times.
Just the two of us.
To destress.
Like what we do when our lives
become too toxic, right?
Even though a lot has happened,
we're able to do this again.
Is this a new campsite?
We've never been here before.
There's no one else.
Is it safe here?
Of course.
I really looked for a secluded place.
I want to disconnect
from everything.
So we can restore our
friendship like before.
You know what?
We should do this weekly.
Until we grow old.
Wait. We're running out of beer.
I'll get some.
No.
Let me.
I'm making up to you.
Let me serve you.
You've always served me
ever since.
So now, I'll do it.
Stay there.
What took you so long?
You missed me already?
You know what?
We should do this weekly.
Until we grow old.
Until then.
I'm having trouble breathing.
It's stressful being a bride.
There's a lot to plan
and organize.
Just relax. That's why we're
going to the campsite
to get away from people.
We're getting close.
You can breathe now.
It's exhausting, but...
I am so happy that
I am marrying you.
Too bad Ubel's not here.
She could help you in
planning everything.
She's gone for a year now.
I hope we find her.
Let's not talk about her.
My trauma about what happened
to her hasn't gone away.
Huh?
- What happened?
- The brakes stopped working.
There are no brakes?
How are you feeling?
How are you alive?
Where am I?
Where's Lawrence?
Don't worry.
I won't do what you did to me.
But Lawrence?
He's dead.
You animal!
You even involved Lawrence!
How can you do this to me?
How can you do this to me?
I planned everything.
I broke your laptop
that made you fail the presentation.
Lawrence and I's dirty little secret?
I set that up.
I charmed him.
I also charmed your dad
so I can get your job.
I also destroyed your brakes.
How did you survive?
You died!
You should be dead!
I've known you since
we were young.
I know you were planning something.
We promised each other
to be together forever, right?
Ubel! Ubel!
Ubel!
