Love Before Sunrise

Stella?

Atom, this is Doc Roald.

He’s the one whose car got stolen.

We’ve already talked.

He’s now convinced that Rico is innocent.

It got me thinking.

Nothing can stop you if you want to marry the person you love.

Nothing should be more important than your wedding.

Do you want to be Vanessa’s reliever?

She’s going on maternity leave.

Are you offering me a job?

Yeah.

If there’s someone who should get jealous, it’s me.

Look, that doctor is going out of his way to help her.

And now she works for him.

If I get heads, you have the right to be jealous.

But if it’s tails, you’re just being paranoid.

I don’t get anything from what your doctor said.

Where’s Stella?

Didn’t she promise she’d talk to your doctor?

That’s enough, Choleng.

I understand everything.

Something will be injected into my liver tumor.

So that it will stop getting the supply of blood. That’s all.

But you’re the patient.

How about us?

We’re the ones caring for you.

We should understand what’s happening to you.

Stop it, Choleng.

You should eat.

Go to the canteen downstairs.

Atom is here to look after me anyway.

Go on.

I’m sorry about your Aunt Choleng’s behavior.

She’s just panicking.

I know I’m taking too much of your and Stella’s time.

Maybe this is my karma for

all the wrong things I did to your mother.

I don’t know.

I gave up so quickly when I was younger.

I chose to escape problems instead of dealing with them.

When you and Stella get married, you’ll have problems too.

Don’t give up.

Don’t be like me, Atom.

When you left, I slept in the living room everyday.

I was thinking you’d return.

I was like that for weeks.

Every morning, it felt like my heart was getting torn apart.

It’s hard to hope…

to dream…

only to fail again.

It hurts so much.

You don’t know how to start again.

And you don’t know how to build

every piece that has been broken.

I don’t want to feel that again.

I’m glad you got a job here.

You can visit Temyong more often.

And you and Atom can take turns.

Why do you oblige Stella to do it?

Why?

What’s wrong with what I said?

Stella said she’d help Atom.

Yes, I’m sorry.

I really want to help Atom, but I’m just busy now.

You don’t have to apologize, Stella.

I’m sure Atom understands.

He loves you.

Whatever!

Love, my foot.

It’s not the solution to everything.

Look what happened to you and Aurora.

You loved each other, didn’t you?

But did it work out?

No!

Because you should be committed to each other, like I did.

I’m patient with you, understanding,

and, most of all, I always put you first.

Right?

Stop it, Choleng. That’s enough.

You and Atom, Stella. I just noticed.

This is just what I feel.

You love your family more than Atom.

He’s going to suffer.

I said stop, Choleng!

That’s enough!

My lunch break is over.

I’ll just come back.

You’re so blunt!

And so what if I’m blunt?

Let her get hurt.

You should get mad on behalf of your son.

If you think you’re a burden to Atom, so is Stella.

Tell me.

What did she offer?

What did she contribute?

What?

All right, Mr. Santos, I’ll see you next week.

Thank you, Doc.

Be safe.

Hi, Doc.

I’ll just give an update.

I booked hotel accommodations for

all the confirmed doctors who will join the medical mission.

Perfect!

Thank you.

And Miss Mariz called.

She said she couldn’t join the medical mission because

of a family emergency.

Wait, what?

No.

It can’t be.

My assistant should be with me.

Who’s going to fix my schedule?

Who's gonna make sure it's gonna happen?

Wait.

Didn’t you want to make it up to me?

This is it.

This is the perfect time.

Why don’t you go with me to the medical mission?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh my gosh.

I can already picture it, you know.

Those windows…

I’m going to extend those.

To let more natural light come in.

And these tacky walls...

we’re going to paint them with warm earth colors.

And I will hang pieces from up-and-coming artists.

And of course, my dream.

An open kitchen and a full bar.

We’re going to have the best cocktails in town.

You’re really enthusiastic about this, Czarina.

But isn’t it too early to drink and celebrate?

I mean…of course, I’m interested in investing.

But I have to see the business pitch.

And if the projections are good, then I’m in.

Dad…

Atom and I are taking care of it.

That’s good.

I’ll wait for that.

I have to go.

All right.

Atom.

I have to go.

I’ll leave everything to you, guys.

I still have a meeting.

Okay, Sir.

I still can’t believe it.

It’s finally happening for me.

The stars have aligned.

And it all happened when I met you.

You’re my lucky charm, Atom.

This all happened because of your hard work, Ma’am Czarina.

So I’m happy that you fulfilled your dream.

You?

This is going to be ours, Atom.

I won’t do this if you’re not on board.

You know what, Atom?

You and I? It just makes sense.

I need you in my business…

and in my life.

And if you’re going to be completely honest with yourself…

I’m exactly the one you need.

I’m the woman for you.

You think I’m joking?

What if I tell you I’m serious?

Because I am.

Czarina, I love Stella.

But does she love you?

Is the love she’s giving you enough?

Atom, I can see that you’re suffering.

And we’re just the same.

You keep on giving.

You keep on understanding.

And for what?

You’ll get tired in the end.

Is it reciprocated?

Is it enough, if ever?

Atom, you’re a good man.

You deserve someone who truly sees you, hears you, loves you.

I can be that woman for you.

I’ve fallen for you, Atom.

And I know I’m the woman you deserve.

We deserve each other.

Thank you.

You can’t say no, dear.

That’ll be unfair to Doc Roald.

You just started, and you’re already going to say no?

I know that, Mom.

What’s the problem?

It seems that you don’t want to go to the medical mission.
