THE PROMISE Episode 69


We started with Ligaya talking to Ichu and telling her that she would not pursue a relationship with Lloyd.

Lloyd met up with his father and he said that he wanted to meet his girlfriend. He did not believe that Lloyd was telling him the truth and he said that he wanted Lloyd to invite the woman he kept talking about at their company party.
Lloyd went to see Angelo at his bakery and said that he needed his help to win over the woman he liked. He proposed a deal that if he won over her, then he would help Angelo and convince his father to read Angelo’s proposal. The deal was sealed with a handshake and Angelo was confident that he would help Lloyd.
Kabayan; Monay’s husband was left inside the bakery instructing Lloyd how to be manly so that his girl would like him back.
Angelo was outside with Sir Greggy when Ligaya arrived with Ichu. She had made a fruit salad for Angelo and offered it to him as a truce. Angelo knew something was up and refused to accept it. Sir Greggy urged Angelo to take the salad because it seemed delicious but Angelo refused to take it. Ligaya acted all sweet and insisted that he take it so Angelo finally took the bowl and gave it to the market officer who was passing by. He gladly accepted it but Ligaya did not agree for her salad to be given away.She desperately tried to get Angelo to take it back but the officer was already munching into it when a frog jumped out of the bowl. Everyone was in horror and Angelo started to argue with Ligaya for what she had done. Ligaya said that it was Angelo’s fault for giving away the salad.
Lloyd and Kabayan went outside because of the commotion. When Lloyd saw Ligaya, she called him the joy of his world and introduced her to Angelo who was amazed to find out that Ligaya was the girl Lloyd had been pursuing.
The officer took both of them to his office and scolded them for always causing chaos. He punished them by giving them community service for three weeks. They were supposed to coach the children basketball together and help them get past the first elimination round.
When Angelo got back to the bakery, he asked Lloyd if he wanted them to find another girl for him because he did not think Ligaya was suited for him but Lloyd said he only wanted her. He said that Ligaya defended him  when he got bullied  in school and ever since, he had fallen in love with her. He also asked Angelo if he could join in their basketball sessions so that he could see Ligaya.
Manay’s son Bubwit had an interview project for school so he decided to make Angelo and Ligaya the subject of his homework by finding out how the animosity between the two of them started.
Yna had a new suitor, the brother of her boss at work and he went all out to make his intentions known to her. He serenaded Yna and gave her a bouquet of flowers but she turned him down. She was also upset by his gesture because he reminded her of Angelo.
Belen had also become irritable and short tempered ever since Caloy’s death. She took it out on everyone including her family, neighbors and employees at the laundry shop. Belen had been badly affected by Caloy’s death and she had asked Yna to leave so that she could get over it. She said that she did not blame Yna but she was reminded of how much Claudia hated Yna which indirectly caused Caloy’s death. Yna had refused to leave with Amor when Caloy died but Belen had asked her to leave so that she could be able to get over her son’s death. Yna contacted David and he helped her go to the US for her scholarship.
Angelo helped Lloyd arrange a serenade for Ligaya but they only got the door shut behind them. Lloyd insisted on going with Angelo to his basketball game where he was supposed to coach with Ligaya. Angelo and Ligaya immediately started arguing because both wanted to be in charge and they ended up confusing the children. Angelo suggested they play a game and whoever won was in charge but they hit one of the children with the ball and he collapsed.
Yna was still unable to get in contact with David but he sent an acrobatic team to perform outside her house. When they were done, one of them handed Yna a phone and she was finally able to talk to David. He said that he had been planning something for the next day; something that both of them knew about but Yna had forgotten. David said he  would see her on the following day to remind her and that’s where we ended…
