Eli ushers in Mang Simo and Aling Bebeng in his new house, and introduces them to his mother. Gloria adds that they shouldn't feel awkward around them, and profusely thanks them for taking good care of her son. What was supposedly a happy reunion gets interrupted by an awkward pause, as Mimay accidentally brings up a fond memory of her "ate Princess", Eli's star-crossed lover, Jackie.
Gloria can't help but feel uncomfortable, not because the unexpected issue of Jackie was raised, but because of Fidel and Eli's constant bickering. As such she confronts her son, and again tells him to stop craving for revenge, as it won't bring him any good. However, Eli sticks to his own convictions, despite his mother's pleas. As Fidel's buisness problems continue to escalate, he gives his daughter a heart to heart talk about living one's own life, and came to the conclusion that he wants his dughter to be free and take the reins of her own life, even if that equates breaking off her marriage with JB! A surprised Jackie asks why, and Fidel replies by saying that he only wants happiness for his daughter. He apologizes for being the source of Jackie's misery, and wishes only happiness for his unica hija. |
