Bride for Rent Page #7

Have some coffee.

Oh, ifs Papsi. Wait a minute.

Hello, Papsi.

Oh, K almost forgot.

Chin's birthday is coming up.

Too bad, I can't be there.

Wear this. Come on.

This?

Yes.

Where are we going?

- Trust me.

Wait! I can't see anything!

- I'll help you. Slowly. Slowly now.

Rocky!

Paps".!

My brothers!

You don't know

how much this means to the family.

Big hug!

Let's eat!

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

I'm so happy!

Happy birthday!

Even today, he still makes me laugh.

Just have fun together.

Screwdriver...

You're such a pervert!

- Hey!

Oh! Ouch!

Well, you have to spice up your marriage.

Yeah.

- Yeah.

Make a lot of...

Yeah.

Censor that, please.

And I shall remind you...

of the promise I made

to love you each day...

even as my hair tums white.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

Well, I just wanted to remind you...

What'?

- that we'll leave early tomorrow.

Oh? Oh?

- Don't forget.

That's it?

- We'll be going to Lala's house tomorrow.

Okay.

Go back to sleep.

Uh, Lala,

I heard dad's back from L.A.

He arrived this morning.

Why don't we have dinner'?

Dinner'?

Rocky, the family... everyone!

Yeah!

Yeah.

Lala, salad?

Okay.

Alright!

How long have you been married?

Ah... fifty-one years.

A lot of people have told me...

I could leave my husband any time.

Because he will never remember.

But! made a promise...

that I will never leave his side.

It was a vow we made.

To have and to hold.

For richer and for poorer.

In sickness and in health.

I think that really is the secret.

Who are you?

I love you.

Oh, you.

You know, no need for a coin toss.

You can have the bed.

No!

I've hogged the bed for too long now.

I will sleep on the couch this time...

so I can experience it for once.

No!

Let's just both sleep here...

beside each other on the bed.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Huh?

- I feel so harassed!

Wait! This is harassment!

- What?

You can't do that to me.

- Ouch!

Really now?!

- Is that so?

The promise I made

to love you each day...

even as my hair tums white.

We shall relive the past...

and I shall remind you...

of the promise I made

to love you each day...

even as my hair tums white...

even as my hair tums white.

Oh, no.

Wrong, wrong.

This can't be. No.

Erase! Erase! Erase!

You need to leave.

I'll sleep here. Go. Get out.

Go. Get out.

- Rocky, what's wrong?

Rocco, please, get out.

Come on.

What did I do?

- Move it!

What's wrong?

Hurry.

Wait, did I do something wrong?

- Good night! Good night! Go away now.

Oh no!

Rocky, what did you do?

You will know

if she's the one or he's the one.

I just knew.

It was like a gut feeling.

I couldn't think of anyone else but her.

When k saw Pia, I knew...

t knew on-right that second,

I knew that...

that she was the girl

I was gonna marry.

But of course,

you have to be honest with your partner.

That is the best foundation

for a tong tasting relationship.

Nothing beats that.

Oh, Rocky!

Lala!

What?

Lala!

- Why are you crying?

What happened?

Come here! Sit down.

What is it?

Lala...

we did something last night.

- What?!

No, not that!

We had a "MOMOL."

What's a "MOMOL?"

Make Out Moment of Love.

MOMOL.

But it was quick.

Nothing really ha-I don't know.

How do I say this?

I think I'm falling for him.

I don't know

if Rocco feels the same, but...

I don't want to lie to him anymore.

I want to tell him the truth.

If we tell him we made a deal...

he's going to be shattered.

But if we keep going on like this...

the more he's going to be hurt.

What are we going to do?

Um...

why don't you tell him...

that you want an annulment?

Right?

- But, Lala-

No. That's it.

That's it! There's-

- Huh?

Yes, there's no other way.

Your five week deal

is over anwyay.

Right? That's your deal.

At least, you can just tell him...

that you're following the contract.

Rocco, I have something important

to tell you.

I want an annulment.

Let's finish this.

Just sign this document.

No. I can't do it.

Rocco, let's end our little charade.

I can't-

How do I do this?

Oh, no. it's Rocco.

Hello?

Rocky, we'll have dinner

with Lala tonight.

I'll just meet you at the dinner, okay?

I just need to go somewhere.

- But, Rocco, I still have someth-

Rocky, H! see you there.

Bye.

What now?

Thank you.

Maricel...

call Pepito and eat at that table.

Order anything you want

from the menu.

Lala.

Racquelita!

Is Rocco with you?

What's going on?

Did you talk to him already?

What did he say?

- He's not here with me.

He told me to go ahead

and meet him here.

So, I haven't told him yet.

You haven't told him?

Not yet.

I don't know-

Lala! Rocky!

Hey!

Hi, Lala!

Hi!

- Good evening, Ma'am.

How are you?

Fine.

We're all here together.

What's this dinner for?

Rocco hasn't told me yet.

There he is!

It's your favorite restaurant.

- Yes.

Hi.

Come here.

Rocco, what is this dinner for?

Tonight is a very special night.

I hope you'll be proud of me.

But, Rocco...

Oh...

Good evening, Ma.

Son!

What are you doing here?

I was invited.

Huh?

Hi, Ma.

Hi there.

- Hi.

Rocco!

Long time, no see!

How long has it been?

A couple of years?

Rocco, my son...

I have a slight resentment

towards you.

Do you really hate me

that much that...

you didn't invite me

to your wedding?

Rocco...

it was a joke!

Loosen up!

Now, do me a big favor and...

introduce me

to this beautiful young lady beside you.

Dad...

this is Rocky...

my wife.

Rocky...

this is my dad.

Roderico Espiritu, Sr.

Ah, hel-hello.

Pleased to meet you.

No, dear.

The pleasure is mine.

This is my stepmom...

Aunt Marie.

Hi, Rocky.

- Hello.

Hello.

Rocco.

- Hello.

What's so special

about tonight, darling?

I never dreamed...

'Cause I always thought

that dreaming was for kids.

Just a childish thing.

And I could swear...

Love is just a game

that children play...

No more than a game.

Til k met you...

I never knew what love was.

Til k met you...

this feeling seems to grow more every day...

I love you more each day.

Rocky...

come.

- Huh?

Rocco, what's this?

A few weeks ago...

this woman told me that she believes

I can become a better person.

She told me...

that if a person

knows how to apologize...

then that person

is a step closer to becoming better.

Rocco. Rocco.

And that's what I wanna do now.

Lala...

Lala, I'm sorry.

Rocco, stop.

Lala, I'm sorry that I lied to you.

The truth is I got Rocky...

to pose as my wife...

so that I could get my trust fund.

Rocco, stop it.

Rocco...

- Rocky.

It's okay.

Dad...

I asked you to come here

because I wanna set things right.

Lala, didn't you tell me you always wanted me

to become a better person?

So, here I am...

taking responsibility for what I did.

Don't say sorry, dear.

No, Lala, but I want to.

And there's one more thing

I wanna say.

Rocky...

I have fallen in love with you.

I am in love with you.

But if we want this relationship to work...

we have to start with honesty.

So, I'm being honest to you now.
