Till My Heartaches End

---

Do you want to order anything?

No, I'm okay.

He'll be here soon. Don't worry.

Sir, good evening.

Hi. Sorry, I got stuck in traffic.

That's okay.

You're wet. You might get sick.

I'm okay.

Have you eaten?

I'll just order something.

I haven't had dinner.

He's a good person.

That's why when Agnes

introduced him to me...

I told her he seems nice.

At first, he comes off too strong

but you'll get used to him.

So what happened to your cousin?

That's what I don't know.

Based on what Agnes

tells me about the guy...

he seems to be a fighter.

He became independent

after graduating from high school.

He didn't join his mom when she migrated

to Australia with her new husband.

Powie, your phone is ringing.

Aunt Mia, how are you?

So what's wrong with you going there?

What am I going to do there?

I thought you and your stepmom

have no more issues?

We're okay.

What about your siblings?

We're okay.

Wait, so what really is your problem?

Did I tell you there's a problem?

It's just so tiring

to socialize with them.

When was that ever a problem?

You're hiding again

from a girl you got over with.

She's pestering me.

My son is graduating valedictorian!

Wow!

- What. Summa cum laude?

- No, it might just be magna.

Just magna? That's an honor!

That's why his dad

bought him a new car.

Wow!

Congratulations!

What are you taking up. Jocco?

Biology, sir.

- He's going to take up medicine, Rodel.

- You're lucky to have him as your son.

- Thank you.

- That's what he wants.

I'm very lucky to have such a good son.

What about you Paolo?

Are you still studying?

I've graduated.

- Are you working?

- Yes.

Where do you work?

- In-

- Rodel...

how many of your children

are still studying?

Just one more.

After that, I'm good.

I know what you mean.

Schooling is expensive.

Excuse me.

Don't tell me you're leaving?

I got the night shift.

I just asked my boss if I could

come in at 9:
30 so I can come here.

Until what time is your work?

Until five.

- In the morning?

- Yes.

Your work is a big joke.

You'd end up getting sick.

You're not even going

somewhere with that job.

Why don't you get a nine-to-five job

so you can manage your time well?

Dad, I'll go ahead.

Happy birthday.

Wait Pao, you're going?

Yes, I still got work.

Wait...

Jocco, your brother is leaving.

Come up to my room for a while.

I have something to give you.

Come on.

I've only used these once or twice.

They don't fit in my closet anymore.

I think we got the same size.

- Thanks.

- This one's nice...

so you can dress well for your girls.

- You'll look good with these.

- Thank you.

Wait, let me check if I got some more.

I'll go ahead.

The thing with Paolo is

he keeps all his problems to himself.

He might seem okay but

all the pain is buried deep inside.

When guys feel bad,

we just keep it to ourselves.

But you women, you broadcast

all your dilemmas to the whole world.

Of course not!

You're so exaggerated!

Yes, we women,

we talk among ourselves, and then-

Among yourselves?

Everytime we fight...

you instantly post a shoutout

in Facebook that we're not okay.

Excuse me, I'm close

with all my Facebook friends.

- Really?

- Yes! As in.

You got 1,600 friends.

Don't tell me you're close

with all of them?

Are you campaigning for senator?

- Cousin!

- How are you?

Save the stories for later.

- You're tired from our trip.

- Mom, I cooked. Come on, let's eat.

Agnes, why don't you stay in my room?

There's air conditioning there.

It's hot in here.

I don't want to disturb you.

In what way will you

be able to disturb me?

- I might be up until morning studying.

- What's this?

You might not sleep well.

Don't you have classes today

in culinary school?

It's your choice.

Are you okay here, Agnes?

Yes, aunt. I'm alright here.

Agnes, I'll bring down

an electric fan if you need one.

I'm okay, aunt. I don't want

to cause you any more hassle.

Excuse me, there's somebody here

who cannot speak your dialect.

You might want to include me

in your conversation.

If you need anything Agnes,

don't hesitate to tell me, okay?

How did your cousin and that guy meet?

Where in the world did Agnes find him?

Actually, it's Edwin's fault.

It was Edwin

who introduced him to Agnes?

No. Edwin pissed me off and

that's how Agnes and Paolo met.

You told me you're arriving at 9:30.

- What time is it?

- It's quarter to 10.

Don't you see it's raining hard outside?

It's so difficult to commute.

Didn't you tell me you're supposed

to be here before 9:30?

I'm sorry, sir.

Hurry up. We got a lot of customers.

We're understaffed.

What's that?

It's none of your business.

I'll just get dressed.

I love you.

Good evening, ma'am.

Thanks.

Is he here yet?

No. Let's order first.

Okay.

Good evening. Your order please?

One americano, medium,

two artificial sweeteners, no cream.

And how about you, ma'am?

I'm okay.

- Okay.

- You're not ordering coffee?

Maybe next time.

I might get palpitations.

Come on Agnes. You're a nurse right?

You're supposed to know

the symptoms of heart disease.

Why don't you try this strawberry...

or vanilla bean, or...

hey!

So what's your order?

Whatever, I'm okay.

Fine. One regular brew, short.

Okay. Ma'am.

What has he done

that you're so mad at him?

He corrected my English

in front of his friends.

He's just concerned about you.

Concerned?

He feels like he knows everything!

This is what happened.

I told him...

"Babes, I have lots of

homeworks in culinary school."

Then he said...

"Babe, you don't say homeworks...

there's no plural for homework

even if they're many."

You find it funny?

It's a very petty reason to fight.

You don't know these things Agnes

because you're NBSB.

What's NBSB?

No boyfriend since birth.

So you wouldn't know

why this becomes an issue.

You know them guys...

once they start treating you badly.

It goes on and on.

I'm telling you he'll treat you

like a floor rug, or a toilet paper.

Hi babe, good evening!

Sit down.

I'll be outside. Excuse me.

Where are you going?

It's raining hard.

Just outside.

Where is your cousin going?

Don't mind her. She's old enough.

She's been here in Manila for a month.

She won't get lost. We have to talk.

- Homeworks!

- Just because of that?

You find that petty? You embarrassed me

in front of many people...

Ouch! Stop it!

- Don't touch me!

- There are a lot of people here.

There were a lot of people there too!

Don't touch me!

Hey you handsome,

where are you going again?

Just for a while.

I need to get some air.

- But you just got here!

- I won't take long.

Hey, you might get wet.

I'm okay.

You want to sit down first?

I'm just waiting for my cousin.

We might be going home in a while.

Okay.

Is it your first time here in the cafe?

The carbonara here is good!

I'll try that next time.

Agnes, let's go home.

Edwin is on his way to work.

You guys are okay?

Bring your cousin home Agnes...

- and you guys take a rest.
