THE PROMISE Episode 78


We started with Yna celebrating with her staff; including Angelo and Takong for the restaurant’s opening with a bottle of champagne.

Eduardo was at church hoping Amor would drop by but he felt foolish after a while and decided to leave. When he got up to leave, Amor arrived but went in through a different door so the two did not see each other. Eduardo sighed and looked back at the church and saw Amor seated at one of the seats. He smiled and walked back in. When Amor heard the steps, she looked back and saw Eduardo. She asked what he was doing there and Eduardo said that he was waiting on a miracle and it had just happened.
Eduardo asked Amor to chat with him for a while but she said that it was a little late. Eduardo seemed disappointed but Amor clarified that it was fine to chat for just a few minutes and they walked out of the church.
Back at the restaurant, Yna’s staff left leaving her with Takong and Angelo. Yna was already asleep after getting drunk while Takong  who was equally drunk told Angelo to take Yna home. He slept on one of the seats leaving Angelo to take care of Yna.
Angelo woke Yna up and told her it was time to go. She got up and staggered over to get her bag but almost fell. She told Angelo that she was fine but he decided to carry her because she could barely walk. When they got to the car, Angelo had to change a tire because it was flat. Yna sat next to him as she harassed the tyre. She said it was the tyre’s fault she was upset, and likened it to Angelo. Angelo asked what she meant and Yna told him about Joy and how she always called him Gelo Man. Angelo smiled and Yna asked him what he was laughing about. Angelo said it was nothing and then asked Yna what bothered her about Joy. Yna put in a performance as she said that Joy is always asking for his opinion on her decorations and rubs flour and cream on his face. Angelo asked Yna if she was jealous and Yna vehemently denied it.
Back at the bakery shop, Joy and Ichu prepared a hearty dinner for everyone to congratulate them for the restaurant opening. They even had confetti ready to throw when they heard Sir Greggy and the rest arrive. Unfortunately, Angelo was not with them and Joy asked where he was. Loud mouthed Kabayan said that Angelo stayed behind to celebrate with his ex! Joy then learnt that Yna was Angelo’s ex and her face fell.
When the rest were having dinner, Joy did not join them. Ichu went to ask her to eat but Joy said that she would wait for Angelo.
Eduardo took Amor out for ice cream and they sat by a bench to eat it. He asked Amor whether she missed it and Amor said she did because there was no flavor like it in the States. Eduardo asked her whether she would be going back to America and Amor said that she would return in a while. Eduardo commented that he applied for the job to the wrong Power Corp and should have applied to the American branch. He told Amor that he had missed her so much and while he was in jail, all he ever looked forward to was to see her again. Amor seemed uncomfortable and  said that it was time for her to leave. Eduardo asked if he was being too forward but Amor said that it was late. She asked him to go to Power Corp the following day and called her driver to pick her up.


After Angelo fixed the tire, he got inner inside the car since it was starting to rain. Yna fell asleep the moment she got in the car and Angelo covered her with his Bandana since she had a sleeveless top. He told her that she had nothing to be jealous over because Joy was just a friend. He then told her that her boyfriend; David should not have been teaching he how to drink but Yna mumbled in her sleep that David was not her boyfriend. Angelo gave out a joyful shout that woke her and she asked what was happening. Angelo said that the stars seemed lovely and it made him happy. He then drove her home but before she left, he held her hand. He started to caress her face and Yna returned the affection. She leaned into Angelo as if to kiss him then said that it was just a dream. She walked out of the car and Angelo was overjoyed because it meant that Yna had been dreaming about him.
Joy was still waiting for Angelo and received another false alarm when Eduardo arrived home. Angelo arrived much later when everyone was already asleep and fell asleep on the sofa. Joy woke up to check if he had arrived and she heard him utter Yna’s name in his sleep.
The following day, both Angelo and Eduardo were in an extremely good mood that Kabayan wondered what made them so happy. As Angelo prepared to leave for the restaurant, Joy told him that she would not go with him because she had a lot of fruit deliveries that day. Angelo also thanked her for the surprise she had prepared and apologized for not going home early enough.
Yna woke up with a start trying to figure out what happened between her and Angelo. Takong arrived to get her so they could go to work and teased Yna for not being able to remember what happened between her and Angelo.
David went to see a doctor and he said that he had been getting sick for a while but he thought it was only stress related because of work. After running some tests, his doctor told him that he could no longer ignore what was happening. David was alarmed because the doctor alluded to it being something serious.
At work, Angelo was all smiles and Yna could not figure out why. She asked him what happened between them and Angelo happily told her that nothing happened. He however went out of his way to help her with her tasks.
Amor’s colleagues gushed about Eduardo’s credentials and told her that it would be a good idea to hire him. Eduardo went to see Amor and she asked him why he really wanted to work for Power Corp. Eduardo was blatantly clear when he said that he wanted to be near her… That was where we ended…
