DOLCE AMORE Episode 41


We started with Tenten explaining to Serena what had happened to them two years ago.
He told her that they were in love and knew each other from before but he had hurt her and she had returned to Italy. He told her that things changed when his father fell sick and his brother Binggoy kidnapped her for ransom. He added that they confessed to Madam Luciana but she had let them go on condition that Tenten would leave Serena alone. Luciana wanted Serena to marry Gian Carlo so that they could save their family business. Serena was confused and told Tenten that it was all a lie since her mother and Gian Carlo could not keep the truth from her.  Tenten told her that it was the truth and everyone knew about it, including Angel and her family.
Tenten told Serena that he loved her and he also had photos of them in Bohol if Serena wanted to see them. He tried to calm Serena down because she started to cry but Serena told him to leave her alone.
Dodoy and Taps arrived at the place that Tenten and Serena were but they did not find them in the car. They split up to look for them and it was Serena’s body guards who found them. They found Tenten holding Serena  while she screamed at him to leave her alone. They thought that Tenten was hurting her so they threw Tenten to the ground and protected Serena. Serena  said that she wanted to leave and  left with her body guards, while  left Tenten with his family.
Luciana called Binggoy and asked him if Serena was really in the Philippines and Binggoy confirmed it.
When Tenten got back home, he took the picture of him and Serena from Bohol and sent it to her. He also said that he was sorry.
Tenten called Angel and told her that he already told Serena   the entire truth.  Angel told this to her parents and they asked her to call Serena. Serena however arrived then to ask them why they had lied and kept the truth from her. Alice tried to explain that they were afraid she would leave them and go back to Italy. Uge said that they had been trying to contact Luciana so as to get the go ahead from her to tell her the truth. Serena said that it was her life and they did not have to seek permission from anyone. She told them that she was going back to Italy and stormed out. Angel ran after her and begged Serena to listen to her. Serena turned back and told her that she was the person she had trusted the most but she had ended up lying to her. Angel had seen Serena get anxiety attacks and knew that she was looking for herself so she asked Angel why she had lied. Angel told her that she was afraid that telling her the truth was like giving up the man she loved.  


Angel told Serena that all her life, she had never been enough for their parents  because she lived in the shadow  of her missing sister even though she was the one who was there. That was why she was happy when she met Simon since she had found someone who would love only her. It was therefore hard for her when she realized that Serena was the reason Tenten could not give his heart to her. Serena said that she was sorry for causing Angel  pain but she too had a right to be upset because they had lied to her. Serena then left.
Alice was hurt by Angel’s words and apologized to her for not realizing she had hurt her while searching for Serena.
The next morning, Tenten was desperate to find Serena but he did not know where to find her so he called Angel. Angel told him that Serena had said that she was going back to Italy so she was probably headed to the airport.
Tenten arrived at the airport too late when the gates were already closed. He ran into Serena’s bodyguards who helped him get in by getting him a pass from one of the body guard’s friends who worked at the airport. Tenten managed to catch up with Serena although she did not want to speak to him. Tenten told her that he was not there to ask her not to leave. He only wanted to tell her that if he was ready to help her with anything if she ever needed his help.
When Serena arrived in Italy, Luciana and Gian Carlo were glad to see her but she arrived there spitting fire. She slapped Gian Carlo and Luciana told her not to do that to her fiancé. Luciana told Serena to trust them because they were her family and Serena said that families did not lie from each other; and instead of telling her the truth, they used the situation to rewrite her past by making her believe that she loved Gian Carlo.
 Serena told Luciana that she no longer wanted to be a Marchesa if it meant that she had to live through the lies that they had told her. She also handed the ring back to Gian Carlo and said their engagement was off.
Serena went to see Roberto at the hospital and told him that everyone she considered her family had lied to her. She said that she hoped he would be the one person who would tell her the truth and the person she could be herself with.
 Gian Carlo tried to explain to Serena the reason why he had not told her the truth. He said that he had loved her since they were children only to have her fall for someone unworthy of her so when he saw the opportunity to have her to himself, he had taken it. 

Serena visited the psychiatrist and told him that the person who caused her amnesia was the only person who was brave enough to tell her the truth. She was however angry at him for not looking for her the past two years and prevent her from living a lie. The doctor told Serena that she had the strongest connection with this person and he could be the key to help her remember everything. That was where we ended…
