Bride for Rent Page #8

Rocco, wait.

No...

Rocky, I love you.

Can you love me, too...

and never, ever leave?

Please?

Rocco, please get up.

Huh?

- Please.

Okay.

Yes?

I don't deserve this.

What?

Hey, what are you talking about?

I'm the one...

who hasn't been honest with you.

Rocco, I'm sorry.

But our marriage is a fraud.

It's fake.

Lala and I met.

She talked to me.

She asked me to help her fix you.

Mag

When I found out

that he was capable...

of faking his marriage

just to get the money...

I got afraid!

So, I wanted to set him straight

before I die.

So, the wedding wasn't real?

Rocco, at first...

I agreed to it because my family

desperately needed the money.

But right now...

I don't know anymore.

Rocco, sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I hope you can forgive me.

What's going on?

I'm really, really, really sorry.

But please, don't be mad...

at Rocky.

It was my fault.

But I can assure you,

and I swear to you...

I did it with the purest intentions.

But that doesn't give you

the right to play with my feelings.

What are you doing?

Rocco...

What is going on?!

What is going on?!

Is there anything even true right now?!

Rocco.

Rocco, listen to me.

Despite all the pretense...

believe me, I did love you.

I did love you.

Believe me. I do love you.

Please, forgive me, Rocco.

Sorry.

SOFT)'-

How do you expect me

to believe that?

Rocco.

Rocco, wait!

You know what?

This is the first time...

I thought I could believe in something real.

That something can last forever.

But... turns out, the joke was on me?

That was quite a performance.

You made me believe...

someone could truly love me.

Rocco!

Rocco!

I'm such an idiot, guys.

Now look who got a dose

of his own medicine.

I guess my dad was right.

I can't do anything right.

Guys, I'm sorry.

Sorry for everything.

We stick together, bro.

From cradle to grave.

I'm sorry, Papsi,

for lying to you.

I'm really sorry.

I hope you can forgive me.

You know...

your mother and I did not raise you

to become a liar.

I know that, Papsi.

That's why I'm so sorry.

I know we don't have much money.

I also know that your brothers

and I don't have much to offer.

But we have our dignity.

That's why first thing tomorrow...

the remaining money

you sent us that I saved...

we will return.

Stop crying-

Li'I sis...

this might help a bit.

Let us take care of you

from now on.

Oh, bro.

Give me a hug!

Group hug.

We can do this.

I promise...

we will return

all the money you gave us.

You don't have to give that back.

But I won't be at peace

if you don't take the money.

Please.

Rocky, I'm really very sorry.

Lala, do you think

Rocco will ever forgive me?

Rocco!

I'm so sorry

for all the stupid decisions I made.

Grandson,

I'm sorry for causing you pain, too.

I love you.

I love you, too.

So much.

Rocco, have you talked to your dad?

No.

What about Rocky?

She was here the other day.

She was asking me

if you could ever forgive her.

Dear, I'd like to ask you a favor.

She mentioned to me...

that you were doing a project.

I'd like you to give me an interview.

Lala, it's only for married couples.

- What?

But I've been married

to your grandpa for so many years.

We've never separated.

He simply went to heaven first.

Please, Rocco.

I miss being interviewed.

Please.

Do this for your Lala.

Qkay...

what's your first question?

How long have you been married?

And what is the secret

to a long lasting relationship?

Yeah, but before that,

I'd like to thank you for the interview.

Because finally now,

I will be able to tell you...

my love story.

The secret?

Your Grandpa and I chose to love each other

every waking day...

until the last day of his life.

You know,

some people think that forever is not possible.

Because most of them

think that forever is perfect.

But nobody's perfect, right?

I was not a perfect wife

to your grandpa...

and he was not a prefect husband.

We just chose to believe in forever.

And so,

you see what we've learned?

See?

Forever...

is giving one another unlimited chances

to love you right everyday.

Rocco, there's one thing I wish for you.

Just believe in love.

Love, and beloved.

Give it a chance.

Love and forgive.

Look at you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything, son.

I'm sorry for everything, too.

My son.

Ah!

What?!

Cut!

Cut! What's going on?!

Sorry.

- Don't touch me!

Were in take 27.

- Please deal with this girl.

I'm very, very sorry. I'm sorry.

- Sorry, baby. I'll take care of it. So sorry.

You know, you're getting on my nerves.

- Wait! Wait!

What's your name?

- I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!

Wait, let me explain.

We never talked about having to-kiss,

you know?

And I'm the type of person

who doesn't kiss somebody I don't love...

and if we don't have a relationship.

So what is your name?

Racquelita dela Cruz, a. k. a. Rocky!

You know, Rocky...

- Yes.

You are the worst actor

I have ever seen!

I'm getting fed up with you!

We are shooting for a love song.

How will this music video look romantic...

if your acting is so stiff?!

What?!

Ah... we-we can-

- What are we going to do now?!

You want the viewers to get headaches

when they watch this music video?!

Oh, no! Okay! Let's do it again!

Come on! I'm ready!

But can you kiss?

- Okay, I'm ready!

Just with the "look of love"

you took twenty-seven takes, right?

Look of love!

Rocky, k got you another audition.

For what?

Where and when?

Tonight!

And one more thing!

They need more besides a female lead!

They're looking for a dad in his fifties...

What?

Three older brothers...

and two nephews.

Wait.

That's exactly like my family.

I know!

What are you waiting fox'?

Take the whole dela Cruz family with you.

This is your time to shine.

Go!

Rocky, is this the place?

Look. Audition area.

This way.

Here.

- This way. Let's go.

Why is it so dark?

Is this for a horror movie?

What? No.

- Maybe for a commercial.

Come on. Hurry.

Stop messing around.

Be lively. Papsi, keep talking.

Hi!

Come on.

Rocco?

Stay here. I'll be back.

What?

Rocco-

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop right there, Missy.

Maybe you've forgotten,

you made a big mistake.

You have to pass our audition first.

What?

Say your name and your age.

Are you serious? Again?

As if you don't know me already.

Fine!

Hi!

Good evening! Good evening!

I'm Racquelita dela Cruz, a. k. a. Rocky!

I am twenty-four years old,

and I live in Sampaloc, Manila!

Why should Rocco take you back?

Because... my love for him is true.

I could wait a lifetime...

until he finally forgives me.

Um... nope! Wrong.

Nobody told me

there's a Q and A portion.

Okay.

Because I can cook all kinds of food.

What do you want?

Beef and egg, pork and egg,

sausage and egg, chicken and egg, egg...

hard-boiled, fried, scrambled, any!

That's not it!

Yeah, it still doesn't sound right.

Wrong, wrong.

- Sheesh! What do you want?

Okay!

I can give you a dozen children.
