Good, you finally came home.

If mom wakes up and see you

drunk again she'll have a fit.

You know, sometimes I think

I should have been the one...

in your situation.

It hurts too much.

Rommel, what's wrong?

Mom really loves you.

She didn't abandon you.

That's the truth.

Good night, Bro.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Who gave these?

They're from Amanda.

Amanda?

She's outside

waiting for the payment.

Amanda?

Rommel?

Is it really you?

You didn't have a scar

on your forehead before.

You're all grown up.

You too.

Are you still gardening here?

Not anymore.

I sell flowers while waiting

for the next semester.

You know, I never forgot about you.

Rommel and Amanda

have grandkids now.

Wanna see?

Sure. Of course, I do.

- Amanda.

- Hello.

How often do you bring flowers here?

Once a week.

Can you deliver everyday?

Really?

Sure. ls there a specific

kind of flower you like?

- No, you choose for me.

- Okay. Thank you.

So, let's go?

Our grandkids are waiting.

Grandkids?

- Where are you going?

- Not far, mom. Don't worry.

We'll be right back.

Ask permission properly.

We'll just look at the offspring

of the doves I gave her before.

I won't be long.

Don't stay out too late.

Let's go.

That's Rommel's first crush, mom.

She's the reason Rommel

wanted to be circumcised.

Come on! Hurry!

Our grandkids are here.

Wow!

Look. I kept my promise.

I took care of them.

Rommel and Amanda's family

has grown, huh?

I never thought I'd see you again.

I mean them.

Me too.

Once, Rommel got out.

I thought he was gone for good.

But I told Amanda,

"Rommel will come back for you.

He won't leave you.

You'll make many dove children."

That afternoon,

Rommel came back.

And there are now

Twenty-seven of them.

Rosa!

Don't do that.

Rosa.

Mom. Mom.

Mom, what's wrong?

Rommel, I know what happened to her.

She was raped.

Let's help her. Let's save her.

- Mom, it's just a nightmare.

- No. Rommel, please believe me.

The girl who's been haunting me.

She was raped.

She's asking for help. Rommel!

You are so hard-headed.

I told you to drink your medicine.

But you keep forgetting. Here.

Rommel, where's your brother?

Can you check on him

before you go to sleep?

Mom, lie down and sleep.

You're just tired.

Rommel?

I love you.

Go to sleep.

Good morning, Ma'am.

By the way, I bought candles

for this coming All Souls' Day.

Sir Edu, do you remember

anyone dying here?

Why, ma'am?

Nothing.

It's just that people say

it is bad luck.

It may be why we don't get

a lot of guests in here.

Maybe we need to

have the house blessed.

There was one.

A man died of a heart attack

during a birthday party.

But that was long ago.

A man? How about women?

Ma'am, if you want to know

the history of the pension house...

the previous gardener

knows a lot more.

Sir Pedro.

Anybody ho...

Are you Pedro?

Yes?

The pension house is home

to a restless spirit.

Or maybe it's trapped.

Just like you.

You always have a guardian,

don't you?

I hope one day you'll let it go.

So it can rest in peace.

The girl I keep seeing.

Who is she?

Do you see her with your eyes

or in your head?

Are you just going to psychoanalyze me

or will you answer my question?

Back in 1992, a girl was raped

in that pension house.

After that,

death has plagued this place.

It is said that the raped girl is

the killer of men who abuse women.

Do you know how

to make the ghost leave?

Why would you want to make

an avenger of abused women leave?

If there's anyone who has to leave,

it's you and your children.

She's giving a warning.

Your son will bring danger.

Amiel? Rommel? Which one?

What kind of problem?

Pedro, what danger?

Pedro.

Do you know where Rommel is right now?

Amiel. Rommel. Amiel!

Rommel!

Mom, what's going on?

Mom.

Rommel, come here. Hurry.

- Are you taking your pills, mom?

- Rommel.

- Wait. I'll get your pills, okay?

- Rommel. Rommel.

Rommel, we have to go. Come on.

Something here is haunting me.

We need to leave.

What's wrong with you?

You're hallucinating again.

We just got here and

you're already getting paranoid.

Listen to me. Listen.

I shouldn't have brought us here.

I made a mistake, Rommel.

Why, mom?

Tell me why it's a mistake.

We're in danger here.

Something bad is going to happen to us.

I feel like our problems are going

to get worse if we stay.

Rommel, listen.

Let's go back to Manila for us

and your brother.

Brother?

Brother.

Where's my brother, mom? Where?

Bro! Where is he?

- Where?

- Upstairs.

He's upstairs.

In his room.

Your brother's in his room.

Upstairs.

Then tell me, mom. Who is he?

Who's this?

Eight steps forward. One to the left.

Rommel, take care of the luggage

and help your brother too, okay?

Hey, brother. How are things?

Why aren't you in bed?

[Amie]!

Mom, it wasn't Amiel who survived.

It was me!!!

- Survived what?

- The accident!

Which one are we going to save?

The one with glasses or the one without?

The one with glasses.

Where's the one with glasses?

.

Where's the one with glasses?!

[Where's the one with glasses?!

Amie]!

Give me your hand. Quickly!

Give me your hand.

The car's going to fall.

[Amie]!

Give me your hand, Rommel.

You must live.

- Amiel.

- Rommel.

.

- Please take care of Morn

- Rommel.

- Amiel.

You didn't choose me.

But I...

I was the one they saved.

It was Amiel who remained in the van.

Who fell off the cliff.

Your brother was just with me.

- In the car...

- Mom, are we going to keep doing this?

You think you're talking to him

when you're alone.

He talks to Nadia.

He brings me my jacket,

food, my medicine.

That's me!

Me.

I've been the one going

to your room every night...

bringing you food,

and your sweater.

I was ready to forgive you.

I was ready to forget everything.

I've always been trying to...

because I love you so much, Mom.

I love you so much.

Why can't you see that?

You don't want to face reality.

Until now,

it's Amiel who is on your mind.

You know what?

If you don't want to believe me,

I don't care anymore.

Rommel. Rommel.

Do you think I'd let you get hurt?

Why not?

You've done it before, haven't you?

Never.

Rommel.

I thought you knew Miss Rosa.

I guess I really just wanted

to fool myself that he's still here.

You know, Miss Rosa, sometimes you have

to face the truth so you can move on.

You don't know

what you're talking about.

It's true.

She's right.

She's just a kid but she already

knows better than I do.

Ma'am, if you want I can ask Edu

to stay here with you.

No need. I'll be fine.

- Okay then. Good evening. Bye bye.

- Okay, Ma'am. Shall we go.

BYE bye.

- We'll head home now.

- Thank you again, Ma'am.

Amiel.

I'm letting you go.

I accept it now.

And to the others still here...

I hope you find peace.

Rommel, you can trust me

if you want to talk about it.

I wish I was the one who died.

I am at fault of Amiel's death.

That's not true.

Don't say that, Rommel.

Yo, what's UP?
