I'll go ahead. I have the keys. I'll leave it to you from here.

All right, Kuya Robert.

Kuya = Big brother

Guys, be careful with our stuff.

That's all we have. Don't break them.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am, why did you decide to live here?

It is hot, with poor ventilation.

Ma'am.

If you ever got lazy of going down...

...you won't be able to have your feet on the ground.

Sunlight won't be able to touch your beautiful skin.

I just have to get used to it. Besides, I am not lazy.

Probably.

But it's iffy living in a tall building.

I remember the old Ruby tower.

Ruby Tower = 6-storey building in Binondo, Manila, Philippines, collapsed during the 1968 7.6-magnitude Casiguran earthquake.

- Ruby tower? - Indeed, ma'am.

Another condo, ma'am. Crumbled in 1968.

Buildings are newer nowadays. They do not just collapse.

Probably.

Did you know, ma'am, when that tower tumbled?

Many were buried alive. Many died.

Some were dug up.

A man and a woman. Nude, naked.

On top of each other!

According to what I heard...

They were just lovers and not a married couple.

- Well what do I care? - None, I guess.

But...

The one commonly occupying such a condo like this...

...is the mistress.

So the legit wife wouldn't know.

Chistine: Oh!

Kuya Robert! Kuya Robert, the kid!

Kuya Robert!

My son!

My son!

My son.

We better take him to a hospital.

Damn it.

Miss.

Missis.

Sit down for a while.

Probably nothing serious happened to your son.

Relax yourself.

I feel dizzy because of you.

Do not mind me.

It is my fault.

I forgot to lock the door.

I did not notice my son got out.

Just why did the nanny have to take a day off?

Sir, your son is okay.

Huh?

I'm not the father, doc.

- She is the mother of the boy. - I'm sorry.

Ma'am, your son is okay.

He just fainted because of the fall. But he's all right.

- Doc, may I see him? - Sure.

Robert: Christine!

You're in charge now, all right?

Okay. You're coffee is ready.

Are you expecting a visitor?

Who would visit me?

Your boss wouldn't visit us.

Hi.

Forgive me for yesterday.

I wasn't able to thank you.

I was really out of my mind because of what happened.

I did not even get your name.

I am Shiela, by the way.

Robert.

Christine!

Take care of her now.

Come inside.

Thanks.

Shiela, come here.

Pardon my brother will you?

He's got a meeting.

I should be the one asking for forgiveness.

We weren't able to talk in the vehicle yesterday.

I returned for him in the hallway, but...

He was already gone.

You know.

I'm really sorry. Because...

You just transferred here, and I already messed up.

Oh, it is nothing.

Who would help each other, but us neighbors.

Rather, condo-mates instead.

So how is your son?

Oh, JR? He's resting.

By the way.

This is the replacement plant for the one ruined yesterday.

Pardon it will you?

You shouldn't have bothered. Thank you.

Hey. Come, take a seat.

Let's have a snack.

I just baked a cake.

Robert: Everything is in order.

I ironed it out, boss.

Ramon: The office is expecting much from you.

You know that our racket is difficult.

Your client...

She's the biggest one yet.

If you screw this up...

...you better find a new racket.

I understand, boss.

If not for your partner's recommendation...

I wouldn't entrust this client to you.

This client is meticulous.

Therefore, you were chosen.

Since you're the most good looking.

I'll take care of it.

You won't be disappointed, boss.

Okay.

I'll arrange a meeting with her.

You have to make a believer out of her.

So we'll make money.

For sure, boss.

Christine: Those are Kuya's shots.

He likes photography.

Frustrated painter, so, he settled for pictures.

You know.

His shots are good.

Beautiful.

Forgive this juice, all right?

It's a little light.

I still haven't gone to the grocery yet.

It's okay.

If you want, we can shop together this weekend.

I'll show you the nearest mart from here. It's cheaper there.

Sure.

We don't have coffee anymore after all.

Kuya Robert is a coffee addict.

Huh?

Oh. Indeed.

So...

Is it just the two of you here?

Yes.

We have a house in Malabon.

Only...

Even when just a frog pisses, there's already flood.

So we simply sold it.

After all...

We're just waiting for our parent's petition from America.

How about you?

What about your husband?

Huh?

Well, he's not here.

Abroad?

Oh, no.

Multinational company.

Only a few times at home.

Christine, I'm going.

I'm going.

JR might wake up already.

- All right. - Thanks for the food.

- Farewell. - Okay.

- Guard: What about our Sunday outing? - Lurie: What?

Lurie: But I don't have money.

Guard: Do something then will you?

I don't have money too.

Lurie: All right. I'll see to it. But I'm not sure.

- Guard: Really? Sweet. - (Lurie chuckles)

Lurie: Oh you...

Guard: How would you contact me?

Lurie: Haven't I told you to buy yourself a cellphone?

Guard: I've no money, remember?

- You should save up already. - Indeed.

- So we can exchange texts. - I'm out of dough for now.

- If you want I'll lend you some money. - Don't worry, I'll buy one someday.

Correct?

Guard: So, do we proceed on Sunday?

All righty then.

- I'll be the one spending. - Guard: Great!

Well then.

- I still have duty. - Right.

All right, bye-bye.

- I love you. - Love you.

Aren't you, JR?

Yes. How do you know me?

I helped your mommy bring you to the hospital.

Oh! Are you the one?

Anyway, I am Robert.

JR, sir.

For I am a junior. Lyndon Valdez, Jr.

Seven years old. A student.
