Bride for Rent Page #4

Okay, fine.

If it's going to make you shut up.

And I'll add more tomorrow.

About eighty-two.

- Here. I'm sleeping now.

No!

- Ouch! What?!

You'll sleep outside, remember?

It's the first night.

Can't we settle this with a coin toss?

Um, okay. Let's do that.

I don't want you saying

that I'm being unfair.

Okay then.

Heads, I sleep on the bed.

Tails, I sleep on the couch.

Game.

Okay. Two, three.

- Two, three.

Javier

INCOMING CALL:

Hello, Javier.

Hey, bro., wake up!

We're paying our debt

to the casino today.

Is Rocky going with us?

Well...

she's still sleeping.

Just like a baby.

I hope she never wakes up.

Okay, get over here. Hurry.

- Okay, bro., bye.

Perhaps,

we can get my trust fund now.

What's that?

Here.

There's another amendment?!

Yes!

You can get the initial ten million today.

As for the remaining seventy million...

you will get one million

for each week that you stay married.

One million a week?!

Oh my gosh!

Wait, think of it.

Cannot be borrowed. Zero.

From the exponent.

Seventy weeks

is seventeen and half months.

You just need five million for now, right?

That's just five weeks!

Ouch!

Well, of course if Madame Avelina

finds out any anomaly...

there will be legal consequences.

Why'?

Are you saying we're cheating?

Why'?

Is there any reason

for me to think that you're cheating?

No!

Then I'm not, Mr. Espiritu, huh.

And by the way, congratulations...

on your recent wedding, huh.

Good job, huh.

Rocco.

Rocco.

Rocco.

Rocco!

Someone's calling.

Oh, it's Papsi.

Paps" Paps".!

Rocky, how is it going there

in Hong Kong?

Ah... grrr! It's so cold here, Papsi!

I'm freezing.

Rrrrr! It's so cold!

And I can't understand anyone

because they all speak Chinese.

It's so hard.

Of course.

You're in Hong Kong

where people are Chinese.

So, how are you holding up?

Take care always, my dear, okay?

Keep yourself healthy.

Don't worry about me, Papsi.

I'll be fine.

You know I can handle anything.

I never knew it would be so hard

when you're not here with us.

We already miss you.

Don't do that, Papsi.

You're making me cry.

You know I miss you too, right?

I miss you very much.

And my brothers. My nephews.

But you know what?

This apartment we moved into...

is Pretty good.

Thank you for helping us out.

If it weren't for you,

we would not be able to move.

Papsi, you know

I would do anything for you, guys.

You made me cry.

By {he way...

I'm going to take a picture

of your apartment.

With us, of course.

But I'll need your address to send it.

What's your address?

Address?

Oh no!

Hello, Papsi!

I can't hear you.

Hello?

- Hello! Hello!

Did you load this up?!

Yeah, fifty bucks worth!

Only fifty bucks?! I got cut off!

Like that, right?

Yeah, Lala. Unbelievable.

Not this way.

- That's right.

People shouldn't be like that, right?

- Lala?

Lala, what are you doing here?

Where have you been, Roderico?

Racquelita said, when she woke up

you were already gone.

Um...

You know,

your Grandpa never did that.

First of all, this is your first day

as husband and wife.

You should not have left your wife.

What more when you start living

under one roof?

And why on Earth

did you draw on her face?

Lala, that's just a cute little joke

at my Honey, right?

Let go. It's not funny.

Honey, wait a minute.

Come on. Come on.

Fine.

Come here.

There.

- Apologize to me first.

SOFT)'-

Kiss me on the cheeks.

That hurts.

My wife is so good.

Oh yes.

She really is so good.

Rocky,

tell him what you told me a while ago.

Ah!

Honey...

since we're starting

a new life together...

I resigned

from my job in Hong Kong.

What?

Yes, I've decided to resign

my work in Hong Kong.

And I'll work here

in the Philippines full time...

as a worker, and as your wife.

It will be hard for us

to have an LDR, right?

Long Distance Relationship.

It's better when we're together...

face to face, right?

As your wife.

And you, as my husband.

Aren't you happy?

And I support her decision.

Because I made that decision

many years ago, also.

So, to express my support

in your wife's decision...

to devote her life to you...

I saved...

the perfect wedding gift.

Isn't it amazing?

Amazing!

Isn't it surprising?

Surprising!

Isn't it?

Lala, what's this?

My wedding gift.

Your very own house!

Ah!

Thank you, Lala.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

We have our own home.

- Yes.

Lala, I'm just...

Wow! Oh my God!

- I'm just worried about you.

This house is huge!

- You'll be all alone in that big house.

Don't you worry-

- Oh my Go-wow!

And what about my room? All my stuff are there.

- Wow, swimming pool and kitchen!

Darling, don't worry about me.

The helpers can take care of me.

- It's like a palace!

At least now-go upstairs.

Check out the room.

- Oh, yeah. Come on. Let's go.

As for your things, darling...

it's been taken care of.

They're all arriving now.

So don't worry

about your things, okay?

Lala...

What?

Won't you miss me?

Of course I will,

but this is how it's supposed to be.

You're a married man now, okay?

So your responsibility is to your wife.

You should have thought of that

when you married this wonderful girl.

It's like I'm in a hotel.

It's beautiful.

Thank you, Lala.

- Okay.

Racquelita,

take care of my grandson, huh?

Yes. No problem.

That's easy.

Darling...

be good to your wife huh?

Bye, Lala.

It's-too tight.

I can't breathe.

It's too tight.

Please, let me go.

I can't breathe.

Lala.

Okay.

Racquelita...

- Bye, Lala! Thank you for everything.

Thank you so much.

- Take care of him.

No problem.

I will keep an eye on him.

- No, problem?

Okay.

Bye, lovebirds.

Enjoy your love nest.

Bye!

Thank you so much! Bye!

- Bye.

Hello to you, lovebird!

Welcome to our new home.

Rocco!

Get my things as well, okay?

And let's start cleaning up the place, too.

And-

Wait a minute!

First of all, why did you change

the story we told Lala?

Didn't we agree that after our wedding

you are going to Hong Kong?

Hey!

You know what?

You should be thanking me.

Lala almost caught us.

If I didn't come up wih an alibi...

you wouldn't have gotten

your trust fund.

Just put it there.

You're taking too long. Hurry up!

- I don't even know why I'm doing this for you.

I already carried most of it.

I'm done.

I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

Oh no!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Rule number four.

My new rule

is that you're not allowed to complain.

For every complain from you...

we will donate clothes

or shoes to charity.

Okay?

What kind of rule is that?

You're complaining?

What are you doing?

Complaining again?

Stop! Stop! Stop!

One, two, three.

This is unfair!

Unfair?

I won fair and square.

We had a clear agreement.

Whoever won will sleep on the bed.

Heads won, and that's me.

You think you've won.

You're wrong.

I'll go to a hotel!

Lala!

You look like

you've just seen a ghost.

Lala, what are you doing here?

I came to bring you the house keys.
