Hands up!

Don't you dare move!

Shh.

Are you Juliana's mother?

I am Pilar, her grandmother.

My son is her father. He died a long time ago.

Meanwhile, her mother left them for another man.

We don't even know where that woman is.

How about you?

Where are your parents?

Our father is dead, too.

Our mother is on her way here.

Uh...

She can't make it, so she asked me to come here instead.

You see, she has something important to attend to.

What could be more important than this?!

Grandma.

Excuse me.

Oh.

Good evening.

O-Oh. Good evening.

I'm Amelia, that boy's mother.

Hold on.

I know you.

You were Liana's teacher

when she was a freshman.

Ma'am, I'm Pilar,

Liana's grandmother.

- Come in. - Nice to meet you.

Have a seat.

Hey, Liana.

I didn't even know that you're in a relationship with Victor.

So, what's your plan?

I already have one.

We've already discussed it.

I'll drop out of school so I can earn and save some money.

After Liana gives birth, I'll send her back to school.

She'll be graduating in three years anyway.

I'll take care of her

We'll work together.

You should! Because you can't rely on us.

We're not rich.

And it appears you're no richer than us.

Grandma.

Don't worry.

We won't bother you.

I can support them on my own.

Let me just ask you, Victor.

Do you have a job?

- -

Get him!

You've got this.

There you go!

Come on, show him what you've got!

That's it!

Whoo! Success!

- Victor, I'm ending the match. - Six...

Seven...

No, coach.

This is how your father died.

- I can still fight, Coach. - Eight...

Nine...

Do you remember Karing? Pule's daughter?

She married young, right?

Well, they've already separated.

She found a new guy.

She's no different from your mother, you know.

She fooled around with different men

just to find happiness.

But did she find it?

Of course not.

I'm not like her, okay?

Is that how little you think of me?

No matter what happens, I will never be like my mother.

- Oh... - Ow...

- Hey. -

I see you won, huh?

Of course! Saved by the bell.

- We can now settle the bills. - Look at your face.

I can feel that luck is on our side.

Once I win the championship,

I'll buy you a nice house, a fancy car,

expensive bags, and clothes...

Anything you want.

I'll make sure our lives will be much better.

I love you.

I love you more.

- -

- -

Uppercut!

Yes!

Whoo!

- - Whoo!

Have you heard about what Victor did the other day?

He's really something else.

You know, you should really focus on your studies first.

Don't throw your life away.

Don't be like him.

Prioritize your studies.

Of course, auntie.

I promised my dad that I'd finish law school

before I'd get married.

Ma.

Her dad is a judge.

If I mess around, he might sue me.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm just frustrated with Victor and Juliana.

They started a family too early.

Those two just ruined their lives.

What a waste.

They should've just focused on their studies.

Hey, why are you ironing all these clothes?

The queen wants me to.

She asked the laundry lady and ironer

not to come here anymore.

She said I should do everything now that I live here.

It won't be hard since there's a washing machine downstairs.

She also reminded me

about our share for the electricity and water bill.

She's been asking you for it since last week.

Where is it?

Why are you so worked up, love?

What's the matter?

Your mother's getting on my nerves.

She thinks she's so perfect.

No matter what I do, she always sees something wrong.

Just don't talk back.

You know her. She hates it when people do that.

The more we keep our distance from her, the better.

I don't like living here either.

They think everything I do is wrong.

If she hates me so much, why did she even take me in?

So...

When are we going to move out?

When are we going to get our own place?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Maybe...

Hmm.

- That's too long. -

I think we can do it in a few months.

Amazing, right?

- Really?

I love you.

I love you more.

Oh! I also have a surprise for you.

- For me? - Mm-hmm.

Wait.

Surprise!

For real? This isn't some prank?

For real. I'm pregnant.

- Liana.

I know...

your dream is to get married in a church.

Next year, I'll make that happen.

Really?

Okay.

I want it to be in the grandest church.

We'll get married anywhere you want...

as long as you show up.

Promoters will be watching your next fight.

You're 11th in rank now.

If you win this, you'll be in the top ten.

The next one will be the title fight.

I heard that big-time manager, Mr. Mendoza,

will be in attendance, too.

Wait, coach.

Are you referring to Emilio Mendoza?

- Exactly. - Awesome!

If you win this, Victor, you'll be in the big league.

And in a few years, we'll enter the international scene.

This is what we've been waiting for, Victor.

Yes, coach!

If your father were still alive, I'm sure he'd be proud of you.

We're getting there.

Tomorrow, you have to come early, okay?

You need to train every day.

- Copy, coach-- -

Hi! Can we take a photo with you and ask for your autograph?

- Sure. - Hold on, wait.

Okay. One, two, three...

Let me take your photo.

May I sit here?

Oh, ma'am...

I have a deep respect for women, so...
