DOLCE AMORE Episode 19


We started with Tenten falling and Serena rushing to his side to see if he was fine. Tenten opened his eyes to see Serena inches away from him, worried sick but Sarah shoved Serena aside and attended to Tenten herself.
 She hovered around him asking if he was fine. Tenten wanting to seem brave sat up immediately and said that he was fine. Franco rushed off to look for a doctor but Tenten screamed for them not to bother. He stood up and staggered to his feet, all the while claiming that he was fine and Sarah had to hold him up straight. She was very glad to do it and all Serena could do was watch them.
The party went down to have some snacks and when Serena brought Tenten a drink, Sarah took it from her and handed it to Tenten herself. Gian Carlo ate a lot of moon cake while Sarah was all about Tenten and how he had endured doing the activity just for her even though he was afraid of heights.
After Tenten had calmed down, Sarah went to the swings with him. They went so high up so Tenten screamed and closed his eyes. He said that he wanted to get off but Sarah held his hand and told him that it was fine. She encouraged him to open his eyes and Tenten ended up enjoying it after all. Serena watched them from below with a jealous look in her eyes and Nanny Melds who was with her asked if she was fine. Serena smiled and said she was okay but Nanny Melds her commented that Serena did not seem to enjoy the activities as much as she had when they were in Bohol. Serena told Nanny melds that maybe she did not enjoy the activities at the resort as much.
In the evening, Gian Carlo fell sick because if all the moon cake he had eaten and hence was not able to prepare his surprise for Serena. He asked her to leave him alone since he did not want her to see him puking around. Serena left with Nanny Melds and Franco was left taking care of Gian Carlo.
Tenten borrowed a guitar from one of the attendant’s and was playing it in his room when Sarah dropped by. She wanted to spend the night with Tenten but he said he had to return the guitar and flew out of his room.
Tenten went to the garden where he tried to compose a song but he was having trouble with it. Serena who was taking a stroll joined him. Serena saw that Tenten had been trying to compose a song and asked to see what he had come up with. Serena played it for her and then she asked if she could try playing the guitar. She didn’t know how to play it so Tenten had to go over to her to show her how to strum the guitar. Serena then asked Tenten to play the song for her once he was done playing it. Serena asked Tenten how he learnt how to play and he said that Daddy Dodoy showed him to play when he was still at the orphanage and even then, it came naturally to him. Serena speculated that he might be the son of some famous musicians or wealthy family but Tenten said that it did not matter to him because his real family was Daddy Dodoy, Mummy Taps and Binggoy.
Serena told Tenten that if she had talent like his, she would study music to become a composer. Tenten said that they were talking too much about him and wanted to know more about her. Serena said that she would go to business school and take over her family’s business because that was what was expected of her. Tenten asked if it was the same thing with Gian Carlo; she would marry him because that was what was expected of her. He then asked if she was in love with Gian Carlo. Serena said that she enjoyed Gian Carlo’s company and felt comfortable around him and if love was either of those things, then she was in love with him. Tenten told her that his father had told him three ways to know if one was in love; you always dreamt about that person, everything reminded you of them and you always had illusions about them. Serena said that she would look out for those things to know if she was in love. She then got up to leave and the fireworks that Gian Carlo had prepared went off. Serena watched them with Tenten and she thanked him for being with her because his friendship was the only thing that she could always depend on. Tenten told her that he would always be there for her and Serena kissed him on the cheek as she finally said goodnight.
Serena went to the room she shared with Nanny Melds  and  tried to sleep. She remembered Tenten talking about the three signs that one was in love.
Since Sarah was still in Tenten’s room, he slept on the couch leaving the bed for her.
Roberto found out that Luciana had been looking into wedding arrangements and thought that she was planning Serena’s wedding already. Luciana told him that the arrangement was for them because he wanted to renew their vows.

Mummy Taps had been trying to reach Tenten to see if he was fine at the resort but since Tenten left his phone at home, she couldn’t get hold of him. She asked Binggoy to call Serena instead. Serena received their call in the morning and asked them to wait as she brought the phone to Tenten’s room. Serena was eager to see Tenten after the evening that they had spent together so she rushed off to his room to give him the phone. When Serena knocked on Tenten’s door, it was Sarah who opened it  and told Serena that Tenten was in the shower! We ended with Serena simply staring at Sarah…
