A Special Memory

The memory of your beautiful face.

The rain drenching your cheeks.

Your hands.

Your feet and your smiles.

Your tears blending with the rain.

The memory of you.

Do you remember how we first met?

I left it. Just went to grab something from my car.

I just got that.

Ma'am!

I set it aside.

I'll just pay for it.

No need. Is this your habit?

Drinking other people's coffee?

You have GCash? I'll just send it.

I said it's fine. You're so persistent.

Why so grumpy? I said I'll pay for it.

There's no excuse for stupidity.

Keep it.

What a jerk.

-What a snob. -So rude.

-Like he's on his period. -Right? Probably.

Oh, ma'am!

Your coffee, that's good stuff.

-Enjoy! -Enjoy!

Go back to those moments.

In your mind.

In your heart.

Come back to me, my love.

Come back to me.

So, you and Roy are really over?

Your Aunt Fe called.

Asking if you want to take a vacation in New York.

I'm running late.

Why don't you take a leave from work?

Even just for a few days?

I'm not sick, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

Bye, Mom.

-Bye. -Bye.

Can you take a look at my drawing?

The boss said it's not good enough. I don't even know what he wants.

It's actually nice.

Just feels a bit heavy here. Too much going on.

Yeah, you're right.

-Why aren't you asleep yet? -I'm just finishing this, Dad.

Dad,

I'm sorry about everything.

Why are you apologizing?

You and Mom told me not to be with Roy.

And that I shouldn't be with a married man.

But I still did what I wanted.

Are you disappointed in me, Dad?

Of course, at first I was, yes.

But forget about that, my child.

We're here for you.

It hurts, Dad.

The pain will pass.

You'll forget all about it.

I hope it happens right now.

I told you I could just ride with Endoy.

Dad, now's the only time I get to drive you to the site. Don't say no.

Don't you want to replace this car?

I'm afraid it'll break down on you.

No. This was your graduation gift to me.

Besides, I have so many memories with this car.

You're talking too much again. You're not listening.

Why? What's going on?

Dindo here won't follow instructions again.

Sir, I'm just explaining to this old man…

Don't call me "old man"!

…that the building will collapse if we don't add beams and braces.

-He always just wants to cut costs. -And I'm not wrong.

You think you know better. You never think about the client's expenses.

All you ever talk is nonsense.

-Jerk! -He should be fired!

Wait! Stop!

Dindo is right.

But you still need to respect Morales.

He's your supervisor.

Yes, sir.

Why does it seem so urgent?

I have guests coming from abroad, so I need it fixed this week.

Thanks, Sands.

Dad, Cora's asking if you know a good carpenter.

Someone with an eye for design. She's renovating their ancestral house.

Oh, sir… Hey, sir.

-Let me see. -Oh, sir!

Too bad.

You missed it.

-Right? -Who?

Her.

Who?

The enemy--

-No, nothing, sir. Just his rival. -No, I was--

Hey! He doesn't even know your enemy.

Sorry, sir.

It's hot.

How are you?

Really, I'm okay.

And I already deleted all his photos from my phone.

Actually, I deleted all of our photos.

My best friend.

Hi.

We're doing waterproofing outside.

The wood will stay natural-colored.

Nothing will ruin the design, if that's okay with you.

Sure, you decide, Dindo.

Oh, wait.

The brown tone will still change. We'll match it.

This is just the first coating.

Then we'll try to finish the waterproofing after.

All right, because I was thinking…

Your dad really sent someone good.

He's handsome too.

But he has no manners.

Help, please.

Looks like you need some help.

No, I don't need your help. I'm calling the repair shop.

You're calling them?

It's just…

Fine, I'll just pay you.

You like showing off your money, huh?

All right, done.

-Done? That's it? -Try it.

Thanks!

Grandpa!

Dindo.

A lot of orders?

That looks beautiful, Grandpa.

The neighbor's kid asked for it.

It needs to be finished tomorrow because it's the kid's birthday.

Grandpa,

I want to be a carpenter like you.

A carpenter?

No, Dindo.

You will become an architect.

You'll have a better life than mine.

Look what happened.

I had an accident at work. Lost my leg.

Did the company give me any benefits?

None.

That won't happen to you, Dindo.

I won't allow it to happen to you.

What happened here? I didn't notice this before.

It's nothing. The hammer fell yesterday.

When I bent to pick it up, I hit my knee on the rocks.

It's just a scratch.

Are you sure you don't want to live with me?

You already know my answer, Dindo.

Don't be stubborn.

I'm heading out.

-All right. -I love you so much.

I love you too.

-Take care, okay? Always be careful. -Yes, Grandpa.

Especially on that motorcycle.

You're my only grandchild.

Don't ride like a maniac!

There are plenty of those already. But not me.

Okay. That's good.

Ma'am, are you looking for something?

No.

Sometimes, you just have to look around, ma'am.

Nothing. Here's your coffee.

-Oh, it spilled. -Sorry!

-I'm so sorry! -It's okay.

No, you need a wet towel.

-It's fine, really. -A wet towel.

-I live nearby, it's fine. -A wet--

-I walked, it's fine. -I'll take you.

-It's okay, really. -I insist. It's my fault.

I'm so sorry.

I'll take you home. Sorry again.

-I can manage. -Come on. No, it's okay.

I'm really sorry.

People these days.

Always finding excuses just to get to know someone.

True! That's how I met my ex. We bumped into each other.

Sorry, I can't see it. Where is it?

Second shelf.

-Second? -Yeah.

-Right. Down. -Right? This one.

Oh, here it is.

I'm really sorry. Hope it doesn't swell.

I'm really sorry.

Do you have ointment?

The one for burns.

Ointment?

There. You already got it.

Sorry. I forgot.

There's no excuse for being stupid.

I'm not stupid.

Then blind?

Why are you so grumpy? What did the world do to you?

I don't want to admit that I'm being grumpy

because I'm slowly starting to like you.

I don't want that to happen.

But it did.

I wish I knew you were watching me.
