Bride for Rent Page #3

I was just...

I could not contain may happiness

and gratefulness to meet you in person.

But I would like you to meet myself.

Uh, Racquelita Dela Cruz,

a. k. a. Rocky.

Okay.

You really are so beautiful.

Lala, this is Rocky, my wife.

Your wife.

Your wife?!

Give her some air. Some air.

There. There.

Are you okay?

There you go.

I'm so sorry.

Did we give you a shock?

But how?

When?

Well, we met at a coffee shop.

And then I saw her.

She were drinking coffee.

It was love at first sight.

Wait, I don't drink coffee.

You saw me listening to some tunes

while I was drinking orange juice.

Then you found me pretty.

Right?

No. Honey...

You were drinking coffee.

In the coffee shop.

Right, I'm drinking coffee.

- Yes. Then I saw you.

Just like in the movies.

It was love at first sight.

Powerful.

Whirlwind romance!

Um, and then, out of the blue...

he proposed to me.

We got married!

Yes! Civil!

- Civil!

Oh, my honey.

Congratulations, okay?

Thank you so much.

But I need one request from you.

Yes. Anything. We'll do it-

- Of course! Anything, Lala.

I don't want a civil wedding.

Marriage is sacred...

so I want a priest

to officiate the wedding.

And I need to be part

of my grandson's wedding.

Right?

Uh...

I want you to get married again.

And I need to be there.

Huh?

I'm so excited!

- Lala.

I've got to go and call my friends,

and make all my calls now.

No. No.

- Okay?

Lala!

Lalalala... lalalala.

Lalalala, lalala...

lalala!

Your grandmother

wants a church wedding?

As in she wants us to get married for real?

- Come here.

Just keep quiet.

What if she finds out...

we lied about our civil wedding?

- Come on. Get in.

Hey, wait!

What about my family, Rocco?

Getting married for real

wasn't part of our deal.

There's nothing we can do about it.

We have to get married.

Let's just get an annulment

after I get my money.

What? Just like that.

I'm too young to be annuled.

Rocco, I admit it.

You're handsome,

rich, you have it all.

I do have a crush on you, but...

no, I'm not ready yet.

I cannot get married yet.

I don't want to do it.

Hey, Rocky...

- No. I can't. I don't want to.

I don't want to marry you either.

I won't even take you

for a one night stand.

I don't even know

where you came from.

That's too much.

So how much do you want

for you to agree?

I've encountered

greedy people like you before.

That's all you wanted from me, right?

So, how much?

Name your price.

Wait.

Don't tell me to wait.

You're just calculating.

You're just counting the number of heads

you plan to give money to.

So, how much are you?

You think too highly of yourself.

Sorry, Rocco, but I'm not for sale.

Oh!

Rocky, wait!

Rocky!

There! Taxi!

- Taxi!

It's Rocky.

It's Rocky.

- Wait.

Rocky!

- Papsi, what happened?

We got evicted!

- Why didn't you just call me?

Sheesh. Get inside, hurry.

This, too.

Get inside,

so you shouldn't get sick.

The other things.

- Here.

Get the trunk open. Here.

- Brother, hurry up.

It's getting wet. Hurry.

Get in, Papsi.

Yes, that too.

There's more.

Close the door.

Thank you so much.

You're so generous.

You know,

if my wife is still alive...

she'd be so happy to see you...

because she's a fan of yours.

Really?

Yes.

You're welcome.

Your daughter looks like a good child,

doesn't she?

Oh, she really is.

Rocky!

- Yes, Papsi?

Well...

can I talk to her in private?

Okay. Thank you!

- Okay.

Ma'am, thank you.

- Thank you, Ma'am Lala.

You're welcome.

Good night, Grampapsi.

Papsi.

Good night.

- Okay.

I'll just be in the room.

- Okay.

I leave her to you, okay?

- Okay.

Yes, Papsi.

Go to sleep.

Lala, I mean, Ma'am,

I'm really really sorry.

I didn't mean to trick you

or to lie to you.

We just desperately needed

the money...

so, please, forgive me.

- Okay. Get up and sit on the chair.

Here

- I'm very very sorry. Forgive me.

There.

Wait...

is Rocky your real name?

Yes! it's really my name.

I really am Racquelita Dela Cruz.

- I knew it!

Huh?

'Yes!

I knew that you were faking it.

Weren't you?

I know my grandson.

He doesn't believe in marriage.

Huh?

Now, I need to ask you a favor.

Do you promise

to tell me the truth from now on?

Yes, yes.

I promise I'll tell the truth

and nothing but the truth, so swear to God.

Why did you do that?

Because, ma'am...

Rocco said he needed money.

I knew it.

Rocco is behind this, isn't he?

Well, I guess you can say that.

My dear...

you know,

I'm in the twilight of my years.

Money is so easy to leave behind, but...

what will happen to him

when I'm gone?

I want to hire you.

What?

- Yes.

You keep pretending.

You'll push through with the wedding.

It's not going to be real.

I will take care of everything.

That's all you have to do.

You know,

I want to teach him a lesson.

I want him to leam how to value

what he has and value other people.

I will triple

whatever offer he gave you.

Please, Rocky.

As a mother, I beg you.

Help me, please.

Ladies and gentlemen...

a warm round of applause...

...for Mr. and Mrs. Roderico Espiritu Jr.

You may now kiss the bride.

Rocky!

Kiss!

You better be good.

This is like my first kiss ever.

Are you nuts?

I should even deduct this from your salary.

Hey, it's my first kiss.

You should be happy.

I bet you can't wait to kiss me.

Okay. Here we go.

More!

Oh, you.

Rocky?

YES?

Open the door.

I'm going to sleep.

Okay, wait a sec.

Okay, good night.

Hey, wait!

Hey!

Yes?

I will sleep on the bed.

Not happening.

- Wait!

You can't sleep here.

I'm sleeping here.

Is that so?

I need lots of space.

I'm a big girl.

Aaah!

I'll call the police!

There's an assault! Ah!

Harassment! No way.

Get out. Get out.

You sleep in the couch.

Hey!

Let me remind you

that I am paying for all of these.

I paid for this bed.

I'm even paying you.

It means...

- Oh, really now?

Let us see.

Yes, I am here

because I need your money.

But if not for me...

you wouldn't even have money.

So, the bottomline is you need me

more than I need you.

Am I right?

OMG!

With that kind of face?

It is confirmed that you need me

more than I need you.

Are you nuts? No way.

I will set a few rules

and regulations.

Imposing the law

leads to a happier life together.

As said by Senator Miriam.

Rule number one...

a happy wife means a happy life.

If you don't want to have problems...

you must keep me happy.

Okay?

Ag T99?

Okay! Fine!

Then number two...

I can add more rules

whenever I want to.

That's not fair. I object.

Oops,

please refer to rule number one...

which you just agreed...

that you should always

make me happy.

So, go rule number two.

And then rule number three...

which is the very important rule

among all the rules.

Quoted from the movie

"No Other Woman"...

don't you dare fall in love with me.

Are you serious?

That's not going to be a problem.

My charm is powerful.

There you go.
