What's the problem?

Nothing, right?

Go on, go inside.

I love you!

Wake up sleepy head.

It's going to be a busy day.

You can't be Iate.

It's train day today.

We'II pass by at Helen's too.

Don't forget to buy Helen a "sorry gift. "

We have an inspection at site Iater.

You too have to be

in the office by 8:30am.

Come on,

wake up or you'll be late again.

Can I not go to work today?

Why? Are you sick?

No!

It's just that...

about last night... I was saying...

Basha, you can't miss work today.

Your presentation is today, right?

You know how temperamental your boss is.

Do you want to get fired or something?

Okay, l'm going to work.

Okay, good girl.

Come on, get up.

I love you.

Love you too.

Hmm... smells good.

Thanks Bash.

- You really didn't have to.

- You're welcome.

Isn't my baby just the sweetest?

That's why I keep telling you

to buy her a ring already...

before she realizes that she doesn't want

to marry you next year or ever.

Do you still need one, Bash?

Do you?

She doesn't need one

because l'm too perfect!

You're so sure of yourself, aren't you?

He's not going to buy me a ring

because it's too expensive.

I know!

That's why you should have taken

that job in Qatar...

so you can buy Basha

a proper engagement ring.

Time to go.

Let's go, Bash.

Sorry Helen, we really have to go.

Take care of yourself, okay?

And call me when you can.

Why didn't you take the train?

Because if I took the train,

I won't be able to follow your schedule.

I shouldn't have brought my truck then.

We're wasting gas.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Why didn't you tell me

about this offer from Qatar?

Because I have no plans of working there.

Do I really have to go abroad

to earn money?

Besides, we both have jobs here anyway...

What if I resign?

There you go again.

What are you going to do?

You're just going to waste

your college degree making t-shirts?

At least they're my own designs!

Bash, we're getting married next year.

You think raising a family is easy?

We need to be practical.

You can't resign.

So I can't make decisions for your job

but you can make decisions for mine?

Come on!

Hi Bash!

Bash, boss has been looking for you.

He's fuming mad already.

What's that about?

How many times do I have to tell you

you're not supposed to think!

That's my job!

I'm the boss - you're not!

AII you needed to do was copy the plan

but you couldn't even do that.

Don't think you're smarter than me!

I told you...

I don't want the gazebo to appear in the

middle of the pool in the model scale.

Here! Tell me you revised the scale model

we're going to present Iater already.

Tell me!

PIease tell me!

Y es, sir.

If I get humiliated Iater.

this will be the end of your career!

- Poy, let's go.

- Straighten out your plan Basha!

If you want to stay in this business.

Iearn to respect me and my rules!

He wants to fire me?! Fine!

I'll be more than glad!

This job is fit for a stupid moron anyway!

Can't he see why I keep

changing his plans?

Has he even heard

of the word "aesthetics?"

Why don't you just resign then?

Then she'll get in trouble with Popoy.

That's Popoy calling.

Bash, have you changed the plans yet?

Poy I don't want to...

Basha... stop being so stubborn.

Aww, poor kid. She has two bosses.

Everything okay now?

I don't think she wants to change it.

Jethro, man, sorry to disturb you.

Have you talked to Basha yet?

The model needs to be reset

to the original plan.

Jethro, thank you very much.

Okay sir.

Good afternoon...

I'm presenting now the

scale model for our new project-

- This looks good.

- Thank you, sir.

I'm glad you Iike my idea.

As you can see we decided

not to extend the pool...

...so our visitors

can enjoy the viewing deck better.

Makes sense! I Iike it!

I'm glad you Iike it sir.

- This is a good design.

- Thank you sir!

- Congratulations Ms. Eugenio.

- We always try our best.

It's a good thing we got that model fixed

or we would both be in trouble.

I would be in trouble.

You think I'II ever Iet that happen?

Basha. remember. we're a team.

Don't Iet your emotions rule you.

You'II end up hurt that way.

Then you'II complain

that you're tired of it.

Don't forget your 7 PM deadline.

We don't want to be Iate

for dinner at Kenneth's...

Bash!

J ust this once.

You know that's bad for you.

That's cholesterol.

Poy, just this once.

- What's your problem?

- I want space.

Space?

There. Space.

Lover's quarrel.

Anj. stop messing with the food!

It'II taste Iike instant noodles again.

Then don't eat it!

Poy, I thought everything's okay.

Where's Basha?

At work. still finishing something.

Hello Bash?

What?

Okay, okay. I'm on my way.

Basha's car broke down.

She asked me to pick her up.

Why didn't she call you?

Maybe she's with another dude

and doesn't want to get caught.

Shut up!

Are you okay?

Why are you here?

Because l'm your boyfriend.

What did I tell you?

If you didn't bring your car...

...then we wouldn't be here-

Poy I can do this.

Why did you call Anj anyway?

- Poy let it go. Poy I can do it.

- I can do this.

Poy!

Please...

I give up, Poy.

I don't even know

if what l'm doing is right.

All I know is that we have to end this.

Bash, if this is about your job again,

I understand.

I just don't want everything so studied

and worked so hard for to go to waste.

Popoy, it's easy for you to say

that because you're not in my shoes.

You don't know what it's like to see...

...all that effort go into something

you can't even call your own.

I know it's hard but we both know...

...this is the only way for us

to reach your dreams-our dreams...

Poy what if?

What if this isn't what I want?

What if I don't want

to be an architect anymore?

What if I pursued this because

I fell in love with you?

What if we're not

growing together anymore?

What if we could be happier

but we stick to this...

...to what's safe, what's okay?

Do you really believe that?

I don't know...

...but I know something's wrong

if l'm asking these questions.

It's almost as if there wouldn't be

a Basha without a Popoy.

I want to find a life and a job

where I know my worth.

I want things for myself...

...not just because

you think it's what's best for us.

But I can't do that when you've got

everything planned out.

I can't even solve my own problems

because you solve them for me.

It feels as if l'm surrendering

everything to you...

It's suffocating me. It's exhausting.

I want to stop wondering "what if."

I want to know "what is."

I'm so sorry, Poy.

Let me.

Poy, just let Basha be.

She's okay, we're getting the car fixed.

Krizzy and I will bring her home, okay?

Okay, bye!

Was I wrong?

- Am I a horrible person?

- Of course not.

Go! Make up with him!

Then break up again...

...then get back together again,

then break up again...

Anj, shouldn't we help them fix this?

Popoy's our friend too.

Krizzy, they can't fix this

if Basha is not okay.
