THE PROMISE Episode 71


We started with Angelo and the people from the bakery ending the meeting with the woman from the bank.
They were all pressured into looking for an immediate solution before the bakery was fore closed. Angelo called Lloyd and asked him to cash in on the deal they had made and show the proposal to his father. Lloyd said he would do it once he saw his father the following day.
David convinced Yna to agree to let Chelsea invest in their restaurant and she agreed. David was so happy; he hugged Yna and pinched her cheeks until she asked him to stop. Chelsea called David later and Yna asked David to go because she did not want to take his time with his girlfriend.
Angelo and Ligaya went to their community service where they had to coach the children. Angelo tried to talk to Ligaya about the incident with her mother but she refused to talk about it. They continued in with their practice game with no incidents and it went pretty well. Ligaya was a good basketball player and after the practice session, the children said that it was fun to play when Ligaya and Angelo did not fight. Angelo told them that he and Ligaya were no longer fighting. He looked at Ligaya and signaled for her to agree with him. He then asked everyone to join him for dinner the following evening and made Ligaya agree to go there as well.
When Ligaya arrived home, she was still skeptical about her truce with Angelo but Ichu convinced her that Angelo seemed sincere about it.
Chelsea went to Yna’s restaurant and asked for the chef’s special. She then complained and said that the food was not good even if David kept gushing about her. Yna asked her to try something else but she said she had enough. Yna therefore told Chelsea to go elsewhere if she did not want the food there and Chelsea made things personal by telling Yna that she should know her place in David’s life because she could see that Yna was trying to steal him away. Yna told Chelsea that she was David’s best friend longer than she was his girlfriend and knew her place well. The customers at the restaurant told Chelsea to leave if she did not like Yna’s food and Chelsea decided to go because she was embarrassed.
Yna told Takong about the incident with Chelsea but said that she would not tell David about it because she did not want to be the cause of any problems between them.
Yna and Takong prepared for a tasting to present to David and Chelsea. When David and Chelsea arrived, she introduced her to Takong saying that she would be their restaurant manager in future but when Chelsea heard that Takong had no higher education, she said that they should someone a little more qualified. Takong was about to tell her off but David cut in and enumerated all of Takong’s achievements proving that he was the best man for the job.
When Yna presented the dishes to Chelsea and David, Chelsea did not rave about it and simply said that it was okay. When she tasted desert, she said that it was cheap and asked to be the one to look for a pastry matching her standards. She also said that Yna’s food was not that good and David confronted her. Chelsea said that she did not want to invest her savings on something that was not good.
David visited Yna at home and apologized to her for what Chelsea did. He brought flowers with him and made Yna promise never to let their friendship get affected by anything. Yna accepted his apology which made David attack her with hugs once again.
Ichu wanted Ligaya to dress up for dinner again but she refused to do it. We learnt that Ligaya liked Angelo from when he first arrived at their neighborhood. The animosity began when Ligaya approached Angelo on a dating App and they agreed to go out together. When Angelo arrived though, he paid for her drink and left without talking to her. Since Ligaya used a different name on the app, Angelo never knew that she was the one he had stood up.
Angelo worked hard to prepare the food for the team and since when Lloyd was there with them, he received a call from his father saying that he read Angelo’s proposal and wanted him to take some samples in two days’ time.
In the evening, the children, Ligaya and Ichu arrived to have dinner. Angelo made Ligaya sit next to Lloyd as they ate. Later, ants crawled up Ligaya’s pants and when she went to the bathroom to remove them, she fell on a bar of soap that Liya had dropped on the floor.
Ligaya was furious because she thought Angelo had played another prank on her and she walked away in tears. Angelo followed her and tried to get the issue solved. Ligaya told him about the dating incident and how Angelo had not even noticed she was the one because she was insignificant. When Angelo understood the situation, he apologized to Ligaya for their date saying that he had to attend to an emergency with his father. He was never able to explain things to her because she deleted the App and he simply forgot about the incident. He said that he wanted to her friend now and gave her a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. He then offered his hand to Ligaya and she took it as an acceptance of his friendship. That was where we ended…
