THE PROMISE Episode 88


We  started with Claudia hugging Eduardo but he pulled away from her. Claudia went on to tell him, Angelo and Liya about the past two years; in which she had been working at a shelter in a small town.
She added that she also met a man called Simon and they got married but he left her recently.
Meanwhile, Betty Mae was frustrated with Claudia’s return and she told Amor that Claudia could be faking her amnesia because she would do anything to make her and Eduardo break up.
Belen had collapsed after seeing Claudia and when she woke up, she had another attack as she begged Yna to tell her that it was all a bad dream. Yna asked her to calm down and it was true that Claudia was still alive.
As Claudia was giving her story, the police arrived to take her away because her case from before had not yet been closed. Claudia went away willingly while Liya was left blaming Amor for informing the police about it. Eduardo told Liya that Amor was not the one who did it because if she had, he would have known about it already. Liya was not convinced because she believed Amor was the only one with the motive to do it.
Belen was the one who actually called the police to inform them of Claudia’s return because she still wanted her to pay for Caloy’s death.
Eduardo was able to bail Claudia out and when she left the station, she said that the lawyer from the shelter would handle the case because people knew her better there. She wanted to go back there and Liya said that she wanted to go with her. Angelo agreed to go with Liya because Eduardo seemed worried.
Eduardo went with Amor to see his lawyer and inquire about the status of their marriage. The lawyer told him that his marriage with Amor was not valid since Claudia’s death certificate would be revoked making his marriage to her valid. Eduardo said that Claudia might be lying about her amnesia because he knew her but the lawyer said that  all they had to do was to pull up her medical records from the place she had been staying to prove that she really had amnesia.She added that if Eduardo continued to be with Amor, Claudia could sue him for adultery and concubinage.
Amor told Eduardo that he needed to help Claudia regain her memory because she wanted her to be in the right state of mind when she gave him up and then the two of them could freely be together.
Claudia took Liya and Angelo to the shelter and proudly introduced them to the other women who worked there. She said that they found her and told her all about her past and that her name was not Gretta. The women in turn gushed about Claudia and what a great person she was because she always took care of them.  They also said that Claudia had been married to Simon but he left her after she lost their child so they let Claudia live at the shelter because she had nowhere to go. Liya texted Eduardo and told him that he had to go there to see how much everyone loved Claudia.
Eduardo went there but he took Amor with her. Claudia introduced herself to Amor as Gretta then corrected herself and said she was Claudia. When Amor introduced herself, Claudia murmured her name and said that it sounded familiar. Everyone excused them and left them to talk privately.
Claudia excused herself and made some coffee for the three of them but she was the only one who drunk it. Eduardo told her that he did not mean to be insensitive but he was working on the paper work  to annul their marriage so that he could be with Amor. Claudia forced a smile and gushed about how in love the two of them were. She asked Eduardo to leave her and Amor alone so that they could talk. Amor told Eduardo that it was fine because she too wanted to speak to Claudia.
Claudia said told Amor that she needed to apologize for the scene at the wedding because she was Eduardo’s wife but was being made to feel like the hindrance. Amor asked if she had apologized to Eduardo for marrying Simon but Claudia said that being with Simon was not intentional because she did not have her memories. She went on to say that the situation was complicated because they had children and she hoped that she had never shared Eduardo with Amor even before. Amor told her that they never did share him because she and Eduardo had loved her before he married her, after he married her and after her supposed death. She added that Claudia had been the hindrance and Eduardo had to marry her because of the circumstances and if it was not for that, the two could have been together, loving each other with their child who would never have died. She thanked Claudia for the tea that she never drunk and left.
Eduardo wanted to know what Amor talked to Claudia about but she was vague and told him that she had to go because she had to attend something urgent at the office.
Claudia was frustrated after her talk with Amor and she swore that she would never let her be with Eduardo. She remembered Irma telling her about Amor’ s daughter being alive. She called Irma and told her that they had to meet… That was where we ended…
