Episode 32
We started with everyone arriving at the restaurant so that
they could have dinner. Emil, Grandpa Apo Julian, Mackie, Lotlot, Marcy,
Pinang, Elsa, Miggy and Nars were all there.
As they waited for the food, Pinang said that she would go to
the bathroom. Lotlot asked Mackie to go give her the sandals he had bought for
Pinang so that he could apologize to
her. Mackie followed Pinang with his gift and waited for her. He said he was
sorry for what he had said and congratulated her on the bar exam. They went
back to the table and the food finally arrived.
Phil and Dahli’s family arrived at the restaurant a little
later because they had gone for mass first. Phil walked into the restaurant and
was taken aback when she saw Pinang. He wanted to turn back but Nars and Miggy
called him. He greeted them then said that he had to go to the bathroom and
rushed off. Dahlia greeted them too and Emil asked her to join them. Dahlia
said that she was there with her entire family and they were too many so they
would not join them.
After eating, Pinang’s party dispersed. As she walked out of
the restraint, she bumped into Phil. He said that he meant what he said on the
text and Pinang got flustered. She thanked him for making the Caramel Custard
and he said that he was glad he knew her secret; that she thought about the
people she loved as she made them. Pinang said that he too had thought about a
person he laughed but before he could answer her, Nars and Miggy came to get
Pinang.
Since Julian took Margaret’s phone with him, it kept ringing
but he refused to answer it. Mackie asked if he bought a new phone but he said
that it was from a friend of his who had left it at the café. He said that
Julian should answer it because it might be important. When it rang again,
Julian answered it and it was Margaret. She thought that a thief had stolen it
but Julian said he had picked it up after she left it in the store. Margaret
thanked him and said that she would pick it up in the morning from his house
then ride to school together. Mackie overheard the call and teased Julian
because he sounded cheesy on the phone.
Elsa finally told Miggy that she was not returning to
Singapore because she had broken up with her husband.
Pinang had a hard time sleeping because she was used to
reviewing so she stayed up late. Phil texted her and asked if he could call
because he wanted to give her the sandals that he bought. Pinang took a while
to answer as she contemplated whether to do it or not but she finally said it
was okay. Phil’s phone ran out of charge and he was unable to read the text. He
thought about going to see her but thought it might be misconstrued like the
last time with the charger. He went to Dahlia’s house and charged his phone.
Pinang’s text came through telling him to call her but when he did, her phone
was turned off.
Pinang had waited for Phil to call until she got mad and
finally went to sleep. She also switched off her phone which was why Phil could
not reach her. In the morning, Phil called again very early as Pinang was
preparing her Caramel Custards. She ignored it until Grandpa Apo told her to
answer the call. Pinang took the call but then her battery died just as she
picked it up. She laughed at that while Phil was worried that she was mad at
him because she did not answer.
Emil prepared to go to the seminar and gave a lengthy good
bye to his family because he would be away for five days.
Margaret went to pick up Julian at home and Marcy gave her
some caramel custard to take along. Julian was all over the place before they left
and his behavior left Marcy smiling.
Miggy called Pinang because she was bored and they said they
would go to the mall after Pinang delivered her custards. They invited Nars too
who suggested that they evaluate the feelings that Pinang had for Phil. Pinang
said that she was upset with him because she had waited all night for his call
but he never called back.
Phil went looking for Pinang when he arrived to take care of
his ducks. He asked Grandpa Apo why Pinang had failed to take his calls and Apo
said that Pinang answered it but her battery died. Phil called Pinang and asked
her to tell him once she was back home because he wanted to talk to her about
something.
Episode 32
Phil went to see Pinang later that evening. He left the pair
of sandals that he had bought outside her door and texted her to get it from there.
He went away to hide and when Pinang saw the sandals, she smiled. Phil was
delighted because it meant that she liked them.
Terrence told Phil that he had sent him the money from their
profits and when Phil got home, he was glad to see that he only needed a little
more money so that he could get enough of it to buy Marcy’s land.
Pinang was taken aback by Phil’s gift and she did not know
how to respond to it. In the morning, Nars, Miggy and Elsa dropped by and found
Pinang making her caramel custards. Marcy said she was going to the market and
Elsa offered to drive her there.
When they were gone, Pinang took Nars and Miggy to her room
to show them the sandals that Phil gave her and they screamed all over the
house. Julian and Mackie went to see what was wrong and they said that they were just fussing about
something. After Pinang’s brothers were gone, Pinang said that she was worried
that accepting the sandals may imply that Phil was courting her. Nars and Miggy
told her that it was just a gift from a friend like either of them so she
should not overthink the gift.
They went back outside and they teased Pinang about Phil
having special feelings for her because he bought her a present. Pinang refused
to admit it but turned all shy when they said that Phil had arrived. Pinang
subtly turned around and was welcomed with more teasing. Nars and Miggy dragged
her to where Phil was and forced her to thank him for the sandals. Pinang was
curt as she greeted him good morning and thanked him for the sandals then
hurriedly walked away. Phil called her and asked if she liked them and Pinang
shook her head as she walked away. Miggy and Nars assured Phil that Pinang
really loved the sandals.
That evening, Pinang wore Phil’s sandals while in her room
and her stomach started gassing up again. She thought about the instants that
had happened and came to the conclusion that she had a crush on Phil!
Gabby went to San Isidro with her mother Sol and Andy
welcomed them back. Gabby said that she would vacation there for a while before
she went abroad for her internship. She visited Pinang and invited her to go
hiking with her if she was free. Pinang also gave her some caramel custard to
eat.
After five days, Emil
was set to return back from his seminar and Pinang created a space in the middle
of the wall to hang his certificate. Marcy wanted to make a special dinner for
him when he got back but was busy so Pinang said that she would do it.
When Pinang went to the market to buy the food, she ran into
Phil and he offered to help her carry the groceries. Pinang said she was fine
but then her phone rang and she could not get to it. Phil took the bags from
her as she answered the phone. It was Andy and he said that he wanted to
celebrate with Emil for his achievement in the seminar. Pinang said that she
was preparing a small dinner for the family but Andy asked her to invite the
people from the farm and he too would go with Sol, Gabby and Anita. After Pinang
was done with the call, she told Phil about the party and invited him as well.
Emil was welcomed home by everyone and he hang his
certificate on the space reserved for him on the wall. They then sat to eat and
when Sol arrived, she noted that there were a lot of ducks. Andy told him that
they belonged to Pinang because she used the eggs to make Caramel custards.
Gabby arrived later because she was out
biking and Pinang introduced her to Phil.
As they were eating, one of the ducks escaped so Phil and
Pinang started to argue who it belonged to. Sol took notice of it and asked
Marcy about it. Marcy explained to Sol that Phil had been renting out a piece
of land to raise his ducks. Sol did not know about it and ended up insulting
Marcy for it. Pinang got upset and told Sol that they would return all the
money that Phil had paid them to her. Sol said that it was fine because it was
her charity to them and it was only a small amount of money. Andy told Emil not
to worry about it and he would talk to Sol about the matter and then they left.
Phil did not know what the commotion was about and asked if
there was a problem. Mackie told him that there was a problem with his ducks
and Phil asked if he would have to move them. Marcy told him to wait for Sol
and Andy’s decision first. That was where we ended…
