DOLCE AMORE Episode 15


We started with Gian Carlo opening the door for Tenten. Tenten got so surprised and intimidated; his lisp came back and he Gian Carlo asked if it was Serena’s room. 
Gian Carlo said that it was and introduced himself. He figured that Tenten was one of the staff from the hotel and told him that he had asked for some ice so that they could chill the champagne.  Tenten did not deny it and apologized for getting things mixed up because he had flowers with him.  Gian carlo took the roses from him and said that maybe it was his fault since he was Italian and his English was not perfect. He handed Tenten a tip and asked him to get the ice that he had asked for.
Tenten walked away dejected and when the valet brought his truck at the front of the hotel, he gave him the money that Gian Carlo had given him  as a tip then told him about the ice that  Gian Carlo wanted.
After Tenten left, Gian Carlo gave the flowers to Serena and told her that the staff member had gotten the order wrong. He explained that his flight delays that made him think flying out from Italy to see her was a bad idea but on seeing her, he knew he had made the right thing. Serena told him that she could hardly believe that he had flown to the Philippines to see her and that was delighted by his surprise.
When the ice was brought, Gian Carlo poured some champagne with Serena,  Nanny Meds and Franco. Gian Carlo wanted to get a room but Franco insisted that they all share Serena’s hotel room and add another bed since it was big enough for all of them. They got a mattress delivered to the hotel room and Gian Carlo shared it with Franco as Serena and Nanny Melds slept on the bed. Gian Carlo was unable to sleep as Franco clung to him and Serena got up to ask him if he was fine. Gian Carlo insisted that he was fine (he clearly was not) and told her that it was her fault he had gone to the Philippines since Serena had gushed about how beautiful it was and  he wanted to go see it for himself. He told her that he had purposely delayed the care package so that they could take it to Bohol together and Serena assured him that he would love it there.
Meanwhile, Tenten arrived home looking as if the world had crushed on his shoulders. Binggoy wanted to know how things went with Serena but Tenten shook his head and went to bed. He thought about how Serena had gushed about Gian Carlo and after seeing him, Tenten’s confidence was gone.
In the morning, Serena  tried to call Tenten so that he could introduce him to Gian Carlo. He did not answer her call so Gian Carlo took her and Nanny Melds to get the care package instead. Nanny Melds was very happy with the gift.
That evening, Tenten told to his parents and Binggoy  what had happened with Serena and that she was betrothed to Gian Carlo.They empathized with him and said that he still had a chance since Serena was not yet married but Tenten said that Serena was in a level  up in the moon while he was on the ground and all he could do was gaze on her from below. He asked that they respect his decision to stop seeing Serena. Binggoy felt sad for Tenten and he shared the lower bunk with Dodoy and Taps so that he could give Tenten some privacy to think about his situation.
 Tenten ignored Serena’s calls the entire day and she began to worry about hims so she went to look for him at work but Tenten hid and JJ covered for him. JJ told Serena that Tenten was out and had left his phone so Serena left.
Serena’s next option was to go see Tenten at home but Gian Carlo said that he had a meeting. He told Serena that he was excited to meet Simon so he asked her to invite him for dinner.
 When tenten got off work, Serena was there waiting for him and she asked him if he was avoiding him and if everything was fine with them. Tenten said he was fine but his lisp kept betraying him. He said he just forgot to call her back. Serena asked him where he was because he had not been at work and he said that his boss had sent him on an errand. Serena asked Tenten if he was done with work and Tenten said he was free for the night. Serena invited Tenten out for dinner so that he could meet Gian Carlo but he refused. He said that he had a date and grabbed a girl who walked past them. It turns out that the girl really liked Tenten and was delighted to go out with him. Serena left after that and Tenten ended up booting the poor girl. Taps was upset with Tenten for using someone else to avoid Serena. She told him that he should not involve other people in his mess with Serena and he should go tell her that the two of them could no longer be friends.
Serena told Nanny Melds about the incident with Tenten and Melds told her that she should deal with the fact that Gian Carlo had flown in to see her and she was using the incident with Tenten as an excuse so that she would not face Gian Carlo.
Gian Carlo went for his meeting accompanied by Cardo. When he got back to the hotel, Gian Carlo asked if he would meet Simon but Serena told him it was not possible and invited Gian Carlo to go out with her instead.
Tenten told Taps that he was glad to know that he was capable of loving and that was enough for now. We ended as he said that he was just going to be a friend to Serena…
