00:20 [Filipino TV Drama]
00:46 [Filipino TV Drama]
01:06 [Filipino TV Drama]
01:21 I am not my mother.
01:23 [Filipino TV Drama]
01:49 [Filipino TV Drama]
02:15 Grandma, Mom.
02:19 You and your wife, leave.
02:21 Leave my grandson, okay?
02:23 Leave him to me.
02:25 You two, leave.
02:27 Yes, we will leave.
02:29 But we will take Sari with us.
02:31 You're crazy.
02:33 Can you live like that?
02:34 I'm the one who's teaching my grandson.
02:36 You're so arrogant.
02:38 You didn't do anything here in this house,
02:40 but you're just acting up.
02:41 You're the one who left this house.
02:44 Melba, you don't want our stuff.
02:46 That's your money.
02:48 You're just wasting it.
02:50 [Filipino TV Drama]
03:00 You're so arrogant.
03:02 My family and I will leave.
03:06 Melba, leave.
03:07 Melba, you're just acting up.
03:11 You're just wasting it.
03:14 Melba!
03:18 My grandmother kicked us out
03:20 because she couldn't take it anymore
03:22 that my mother is just following my father.
03:25 That every time he does something crazy,
03:27 he will get drunk,
03:29 drink,
03:30 and go home without money.
03:32 All of that?
03:33 Is that how your father was?
03:35 Yes, that's how he was growing up.
03:37 Auntie!
03:40 Mom!
03:41 Get me a gun and a pillow.
03:45 Why are they here?
03:49 I'll explain.
03:51 You'll sleep in the living room.
03:58 Us?
04:00 Where are you going?
04:03 Don't complain.
04:04 It's good that we'll be able to sleep.
04:07 [Birds chirping]
04:09 Mom, who's the girl?
04:15 Is she your daughter?
04:17 Let's just go.
04:25 Come here.
04:35 Melba can't tell her daughter
04:37 that the girl they adopted
04:39 is none other than Arjan's mistress.
04:42 Even though she's sick,
04:44 Melba and Zary
04:47 are still at their house
04:48 and at their mistress's.
04:50 Until...
04:53 [Glass clinking]
04:56 The rice is no longer in the pot,
05:11 so I just bought some bread for Zary.
05:14 I also heated up some water for the coffee.
05:16 I'm not allowed to make coffee.
05:19 I'm still pregnant.
05:22 Oh, Arjan is still sleeping.
05:25 He gave me a massage last night.
05:27 It was so sweet.
05:29 Arjan told you this, right?
05:49 I'm wondering why you're still here.
05:52 You?
05:58 Why did Arjan ask you to come home with him?
06:04 I'm his wife.
06:06 He has a child.
06:10 You have a child?
06:12 Who's a legal wife
06:16 who wants to have a child with her husband?
06:18 He's pregnant.
06:19 So you're the one with a problem.
06:24 You're the one who should leave.
06:27 Yes.
06:29 I have a big problem.
06:31 You.
06:33 If you think Arjan will be your friend
06:39 and he'll leave us with our child,
06:42 you're wrong.
06:46 Who was it that you kissed last night?
06:48 Was it you?
06:51 No.
06:56 Arjan is in love.
06:58 Why?
07:00 [music]
07:03 [music]
07:31 I'm so proud of you.
07:32 My baby is so handsome.
07:39 My face is so...
07:45 Mom?
07:53 We're going back to grandma.
07:58 Grandma?
07:59 Why?
08:00 You're Papa's wife, right?
08:02 Why are you getting involved in our situation?
08:07 I can't accept that my brother is the baby.
08:11 I'm Papa's only child.
08:14 Not the baby.
08:16 Let's go, Uncle and Aunt.
08:18 I believe that your father will call you.
08:25 He will take care of your family.
08:28 I can't.
08:29 Mom, don't be stupid.
08:33 Stop being a martyr.
08:35 Let's go home.
08:37 I don't want you to lose your father.
08:43 Besides,
08:44 I can't leave my brother.
08:49 I love your father.
08:56 Sorry.
08:57 Sorry.
08:59 When I was young,
09:06 I was a daddy's girl.
09:08 That's when I started to get angry with him.
09:12 But I wasn't that brave to voice out.
09:18 Yes.
09:19 I didn't answer or something like that.
09:23 But I showed him that I know what's going to happen.
09:27 I'm not like him anymore.
09:30 I used to go home and kiss him.
09:33 When he came home from work or school.
09:36 He was like this since then.
09:41 That's one reason why he has a bad image of me.
09:45 I'm sorry.
09:46 Why are you sleeping?
10:02 I just want to sleep.
10:06 I'll just sleep here.
10:14 The baby is sick.
10:15 I'm just watching over the baby.
10:20 Hey, I talked to him.
10:29 He's mad at us.
10:35 Especially at me.
10:39 He wants to go home to his grandmother.
10:43 He won't come back.
10:44 Why are you like that, Arjun?
10:50 Even back then,
10:55 you were always the first one to do everything.
10:58 To yourself,
11:01 to my mother,
11:03 to my son.
11:05 You were even the first one to God.
11:09 I'm sorry.
11:10 It just hurts.
11:17 When it comes to you, I'm always the last one.
11:22 I gave you everything.
11:28 I didn't leave anything for myself.
11:32 My mother was right.
11:38 You treated me like a slave.
11:40 A trash.
11:43 Not a wife.
11:45 What are you thinking?
11:49 Go to sleep.
11:51 Go to sleep.
11:52 Go to sleep.
11:53 Go to sleep.
11:55 I'm sorry.
11:56 I'm sorry.
11:58 I'm sorry.
12:01 No.
12:02 [baby crying]
12:31 Stop crying.
12:32 I can't study.
12:35 Stop it.
12:37 Stop it.
12:42 Stop it, I said.
12:45 You're so noisy.
12:48 Stop it.
12:49 Hey!
12:50 What right do you have to shout at my son?
12:53 I told you to just watch him.
12:57 Don't hurt him.
12:58 I didn't hurt him.
13:00 You're still answering.
13:01 What?
13:03 The next time I see you hurt my son, I'll cut you up.
13:06 You're a demon.
13:08 Get out of here.
13:11 Get out!
13:13 [baby crying]
13:15 So how long have you been living in Chica Beb?
13:34 It's been months.
13:36 It hasn't been a year yet.
13:37 My grandmother reached out to me.
13:40 She asked how I was doing.
13:42 Oh.
13:43 My mother sent us back to our house.
13:47 And your father?
13:48 Where did he go?
13:49 He was left there.
13:50 In Chica Beb?
13:51 Yes, with his son.
13:52 He was left there.
13:53 My mother and grandmother forgave him.
13:56 I told myself, "What can I do? I'm alone with my son.
13:59 I can't leave you in that kind of life."
14:11 Grandma.
14:12 Don't worry.
14:20 I'm sorry.
14:22 You can't go back to your parents' house.
14:26 This is your home.
14:30 You can have both.
14:35 Just promise me that.
14:40 Grandma.
14:41 Sorry, my grandchild.
14:46 I won't let my mother leave me.
14:54 I'm gone.
14:57 Yes, Grandma.
15:00 Yes.
15:01 I won't let you go.
15:03 You're the only one who can make your mother strong.
15:09 And...
15:10 And...
15:13 And let her smell again.
15:20 Promise me.
15:22 Promise me.
15:24 Yes, Grandma. Yes.
15:27 Mom.
15:29 Mom, please don't leave.
15:31 Don't leave. I need you.
15:34 We need you, Mom. Please.
15:38 Grandma, I might need to leave.
15:45 I might get sick.
15:51 You can give me strength.
15:57 I just hope,
16:02 I just hope, Grandma,
16:07 I'm sorry.
16:10 I'm sorry.
16:12 Don't go.
16:14 Don't go.
16:15 Please.
16:18 Don't go.
16:20 I'm sorry.
16:28 I'm sorry.
16:29 Promise me, Grandma.
16:33 Promise me.
16:34 I love you, Grandma.
16:44 I love you.
16:47 When Zary's grandmother passed away,
16:55 they were left alone in her house.
16:57 Meanwhile, Arjun completely abandoned them.
17:02 Melma and Zary also lived in silence for a few years.
17:06 Until...
17:08 Mom, why does it seem like it doesn't get wet when I'm planting?
17:19 I'm watering it every day.
17:21 It's not because you're always watering it, it won't get wet.
17:28 You know, it's just two things.
17:30 It gets wet because you take care of it too much or it gets neglected.
17:37 It's like a love life, Mom.
17:41 If you take care of it too much, it's bad. It's annoying.
17:46 You're learning about love life, Zary.
17:51 Don't do it.
17:54 It's really bad.
17:55 You know, you always ask me if my blood sugar is high.
18:01 Can I have some water, dear?
18:03 Yes, sure.
18:05 My diabetes is really annoying.
18:06 Thank you.
18:12 Yes.
18:13 Melba.
18:29 How are you and Zary?
18:36 [music]
18:42 Why are you still showing up?
18:44 What are you doing here?
18:47 Melba, Nancy and I are not together anymore.
18:52 She left me. She's not our baby anymore.
18:58 Can I?
19:02 Huh?
19:03 Is that why you're coming back now?
19:08 After so many years?
19:11 Zary.
19:25 How are you?
19:30 Son.
19:31 Zary.
19:33 Son, listen to me.
19:42 Son.
19:43 Son.
19:44 She said, she's going to change. She's going to change.
19:50 She's just begging because she left her husband.
19:53 No.
19:55 Will you believe in Papa's dramas?
19:58 He wants us to be together again.
20:00 To be a family again.
20:01 Again?
20:03 When did our family become a family?
20:06 We're like pigs that he threw away in his neighbor's house.
20:11 He's already regretting it.
20:14 He's already admitting all his sins.
20:16 He's already admitting it.
20:17 Come on, hold him.
20:19 Mom.
20:20 Before Grandma died, she gave us everything.
20:24 We're the only ones left in this house.
20:27 But my child, he's still your father, right?
20:30 He's still your father.
20:31 That's why you should give him another chance.
20:33 Mom, what is it?
20:35 You should have done it earlier.
20:37 I still love him.
20:38 I still love him.
20:41 I still love your father, Mom.
20:51 I still love him.
20:55 I've been in love for so many years.
20:57 I never stopped loving him.
21:00 God knows, I forced him to leave our lives.
21:07 I forced him but I couldn't.
21:09 I'm sorry.
21:11 I'm so sorry.
21:12 I really forced him.
21:14 But when he left, I was not enough.
21:18 I was not enough.
21:20 Come on, don't cry.
21:22 I was not enough?
21:25 Wasn't it enough for you to love me so that you can be whole?
21:31 Don't you have any respect for yourself?
21:36 No matter how many times you've been hurt by a man, you still accept it.
21:43 Do what you want.
21:47 I'm sorry.
21:48 I'm sorry.
21:55 [Music]
22:06 [Knocking]
22:24 Sorry.
22:25 I promised you that our life will be better.
22:31 You know, I got a racket for a month.
22:38 I'll earn a lot from it.
22:42 After that, we can get married.
22:45 Where do you want to go?
22:52 [Music]
22:57 We'll talk to your mom.
22:59 I know you still have a bad feeling for me but we can get over it.
23:06 Especially now that we're together in our house.
23:09 Our house?
23:12 This is Grandma's house.
23:15 [Music]
23:24 As long as your mom and I are getting better,
23:29 I hope we are too.
23:33 [Music]
23:48 [Door opening]
23:49 [Door closing]
24:00 [Music]
24:05 [Door closing]
24:07 [Music]
24:14 [Door closing]
24:24 [Music]
24:32 [Knocking]
24:35 Sorry.
24:36 [Knocking]
24:38 Sorry.
24:39 Sorry, dear.
24:41 Sorry.
24:44 [Music]
24:53 [Paper rustling]
24:54 Dear Mama, I'm sure if you read this, I'm gone.
25:08 I left because that's not what I want.
25:12 But because that's what I know what to do.
25:15 I don't want to be weak like you.
25:18 I don't want to be stupid and be a martyr like you.
25:22 I don't want to be old like you, Mama.
25:26 I'm not you.
25:28 Goodbye, Zary.
25:31 [Music]
25:51 [Crying]
26:00 I know.
26:01 [Crying]
26:06 Zary!
26:08 Out of hatred, I left.
26:15 I can't see that you still haven't learned.
26:21 I really left.
26:23 You left? Where did you go?
26:25 I went everywhere.
26:27 I mean, I didn't go everywhere.
26:31 Since my father is not a good provider,
26:34 I planted in my mind that once my grandmother died, I would lose my provider.
26:40 Because my mother couldn't provide for me.
26:43 She was also a hope.
26:45 My father is also not a good provider.
26:48 So when I left, that's when I started going to restaurants.
26:53 I worked as a waitress, I joined a country club, I became a server, I became a manicurist.
27:00 I also taught.
27:02 I did all kinds of things.
27:03 Girl, can you plant for me?
27:11 I'll just take care of this.
27:12 You can plant that.
27:13 She hasn't used it yet.
27:15 I'll just take this.
27:18 You're done?
27:19 You're shopping, right? That's 100 per hour.
27:21 Thank you.
27:23 I think there's something missing.
27:28 Bestie, I'm having a hard time with your laptop.
27:33 I need to finish my research.
27:36 You're right, Bestie. I remember. Do you want me to hook you up with the boss of the doctor?
27:41 Malik?
27:43 He's kind and rich.
27:45 He's just a daddy. He's cute.
27:48 He's like double our age.
27:50 I'll show you a picture. I have a picture of him.
27:55 There. My friend sent it to me.
27:57 He's cute, right? He's rich.
28:00 Should I hook you up?
28:04 [phone ringing]
28:05 Not interested.
28:10 You know I have issues with men, right?
28:15 I'm a Filipino, a deadman.
28:18 You're all arabo. Hello?
28:20 And maybe I'll just get culture shock from them.
28:24 I don't want that.
28:25 I'll just get rich.
28:26 No time for love. No time for men.
28:29 No time for heartaches.
28:31 No time for BS.
28:33 No time for everything.
28:34 I know.
28:35 I thought you were interested.
28:38 I'm just staring at you.
28:39 It's okay.
28:40 Go ahead. Just get your laptop.
28:43 I might get a shock.
28:44 I'll just get my laptop.
28:45 Mom.
29:07 Hi, son.
29:09 Hi.
29:10 Son, you're going to be a good boy, okay?
29:19 Always remember,
29:23 I love you so much.
29:25 Don't take my heart away.
29:38 I'm always there for you.
29:39 Even if you have a big heart for me.
29:43 I'm right.
29:50 Don't ever leave me.
29:55 I'm a fool, right?
29:57 I'm a murderer.
30:07 I'm a murderer.
30:08 I'm a murderer.
30:10 I'm a murderer.
30:14 I love you, son.
30:23 I love you so much.
30:29 I love you.
30:30 Hello?
30:48 Sari.
30:50 Sari.
30:51 Dad?
30:53 Dad, why are you crying?
30:56 Sari, your mom is gone.
30:58 Your mom left us.
31:01 Sari.
31:03 Rizzy, are you okay?
31:13 What happened?
31:15 When your mother died,
31:23 did you blame her?
31:24 Did you blame her for anything?
31:25 I always tell her,
31:26 "You're so stupid."
31:28 I always tell her,
31:30 "You're so stupid.
31:31 You're always making me do things."
31:32 "You're always making me do things."
31:33 "You had a good life when you were pregnant."
31:36 We talked about this.
31:39 "I hope you didn't get married."
31:41 "I hope you have a good life now."
31:43 Then she told me,
31:45 "If I didn't get married,
31:47 I wouldn't have given birth to you."
31:49 It's like,
31:51 it's one of those things
31:52 that I always remember.
31:53 Whenever I think about
31:55 our conversation,
31:56 it's like,
31:59 I can remember
32:00 all the things
32:01 that I did as a child
32:04 to her.
32:06 [sad music]
32:29 Even if I apologize to you now,
32:34 you won't hear me.
32:36 Even if I tell you,
32:41 "I miss you."
32:44 I can't get back at you
32:50 because you're gone.
32:53 I was the first one to leave you, Mom.
32:57 I was the first one to leave.
33:00 I was the first one to grow up.
33:03 [sad music]
33:08 I hurt you.
33:10 I hurt you.
33:14 Even if you did
33:17 love your dad so much.
33:21 Do you know that
33:28 I was so happy, Mom?
33:32 When I see you two happy,
33:34 you and Grandma,
33:37 that's not true.
33:42 Because Dad is the only one who makes you happy.
33:49 And that's what hurts.
34:01 That's why I left.
34:03 That's why I left you.
34:07 I'm sorry.
34:13 I'm sorry, Mom.
34:18 [sad music]
34:33 Sarah, are you leaving?
34:35 Are you going back to Manila?
34:38 Especially now that Mom is gone.
34:42 Sarah, you still haven't forgiven me.
34:46 How can I forgive you?
34:47 How long will you be able to get rid of your anger at me?
34:52 Your mom,
34:54 I hurt her more than I did to her.
34:57 She forgave me.
34:59 She forgave you because she didn't want to bury all the wounds you left in her heart.
35:05 To me, Dad, you're so deep.
35:09 I'm not Mom.
35:13 And I will never be Mom.
35:16 His mother died.
35:30 Zary never showed up to his father again.
35:34 The wounds in his heart slowly healed.
35:39 Zary gave a chance to his love life.
35:43 I invited you here in Riyaz.
35:46 I will tour you around.
35:48 And maybe we go shopping?
35:51 I'm sorry, Malik, but I cannot accept your offer.
35:57 I'm not ready to travel yet.
35:59 You see, my mother just passed away a month ago.
36:04 Delbert, I can go visit you in Manila anytime.
36:08 I want to meet you in person.
36:10 Habibi.
36:12 Habibi?
36:14 Yes, that's how we call our beloved one here.
36:18 Someone dear to us.
36:20 You're my Habibi Zary.
36:22 I give you anything you want to make you happy.
36:26 Will you be my queen?
36:29 Queen?
36:30 You're my Habibi Zary.
36:36 I give you anything you want to make you happy.
36:39 Will you be my queen?
36:42 I'm so sorry, Malik, but I cannot be your Habibi.
36:50 We can be friends, but we cannot go beyond that.
36:55 I'm so sorry.
36:57 I'm sorry.
36:58 Bye.
37:01 Why didn't you like her?
37:10 Or you didn't want to marry her?
37:12 Maybe, I was out of trauma.
37:15 I told myself,
37:17 I'm just a person of two types.
37:22 I can be their partner.
37:25 I can be like my mom and dad.
37:27 Because, imagine,
37:29 because she's my mom,
37:32 I have a tendency to be stupid to love.
37:36 And I have a tendency to be like my dad,
37:39 to just play around because I'm traumatized.
37:42 And when I met Malik,
37:44 I couldn't take him for granted
37:46 because he has a good offer,
37:48 love, opportunities.
37:50 I was thinking that maybe in the long run,
37:54 I'll be like my dad if I just use my mom.
37:57 My phone.
38:01 Bestie, what are you doing? Why are you being dramatic?
38:06 You're being dramatic again.
38:09 You know, you're feeling a phobia.
38:12 And the cure for phobia is to expose yourself.
38:15 When you have a phobia in heights,
38:17 you climb a tall building.
38:19 Don't do that.
38:22 Witches like you have a phobia in men.
38:24 You're a couple.
38:26 This is not a phobia.
38:29 I just don't want what happened to me to happen to my mom.
38:32 That's also a fear. That's also a phobia.
38:35 You know what, Bestie, it's just me.
38:38 As long as you're angry with your heart and you can't forgive it,
38:42 you won't have peace of mind.
38:44 You don't want to be like your mom,
38:46 that's why you're not a couple.
38:48 But you should imitate your mom.
38:51 She didn't give up her love for your dad, right?
38:53 You have to love, Bestie.
38:55 Don't hide under the bed anymore.
38:59 Okay?

40:01 [Music]
40:04 [Music]
40:06 My child, that's what your mom wants.
40:10 Huh?
40:12 That we'll be together again, even if it's just the two of us.
40:14 [Music]
40:17 Larry, my child, I promise you, I'll do everything to get back at you.
40:22 Just come back.
40:23 No, Papa.
40:27 [Music]
40:31 Maybe you'll just leave your mom alone.
40:34 I'm not letting her go.
40:38 Her flowers are always fresh.
40:41 I didn't come here to go home.
40:47 I came here to stay.
40:50 I'm not going to stay here.
40:53 I'm going to stay here.
40:56 I'm not going to stay here.
41:00 I came here to stay.
41:02 I just want to tell you that
41:06 I forgive you.
41:13 I forgive you because I know that Mom won't be able to stay quiet.
41:23 I want to forgive myself too.
41:29 I was angry with you and Mom for a long time.
41:32 I planted it.
41:35 I'm the one who's making you suffer.
41:40 I forgive you.
41:46 [Music]
41:49 [Crying]
41:51 Thank you so much.
