Sharina breaks away
from Nelson’s embrace and he apologises, “Sorry Sharina, nabigla lang
ako.” He adds that he is just so happy
that he is giving him another chance.
Benjie sees them
embrace and feels sad. Sharina sees
Benjie and asks Nelson if they can go inside, “Tara pasok na tayo sa loob. Doon na tayo mag-usap.” They can talk better indoors. After a while, Benjie leaves.
Lizette caught Grace
and Rico and asks, “Ano di talaga kayo?
Ano ba’t parang naputulan kayo ng dila?”
The two can’t respond at first and Lizette laughs saying it’s like their
tongues have been cut. Grace recovers
and asks, “Di ba obvious na kami?” getting really extra sweet to Rico and
kisses the young man.
This angers Lizette
saying, “Che! Ikaw Grace puro ka
kalandian at ikaw Rico, ang cheap mo!
Nakikipag-date ka, dito pa sa bahay ko!”
She storms off in a huff leaving the two a bit flustered. Grace apologises for kissing Rico, “Sorry sa
kiss.” Rico jokes that Grace really
wanted to kiss him and just needed an excuse.”Ikaw, gusto mo naman talagang
maka-isa sa akin.”
Lola Ingga? [I thought all the while that she is Lola
Inday!] Lola Ingga is angry at Benjie for leaving Emie alone at the marriage
seminar. Benjie says that he had no
plans of leaving Emie there, alone but he just had something, he just needed to
be sure of something first.
Emie suspects what that
something is, “Sharina na naman!” and snaps at Benjie who tells her that
Sharina is no longer in his life, “wala na si Sharina sa buhay ko,” remembering
her embrace with Nelson. Benjie walks
out promting Emie to call after him, “Benjie!”
Monica is happy for
her sister accepting Nelson again and giving him a second chance. She adds that Nelson is definitely better
than Benjie.
Sharina asks her is
she still loves Junic. Monica stops and
replies, every day. “Araw-araw, naaalala
ko ang mga kalokohan namin.” She adds
that sometimes she remembers the happy times she spent with Junic whilst other
times, she recalls the sad. She cries or
laughs depending on what she recalls.
Then she realises this must be the same feelings her sister is having
for Benjie and asks her if she still has feelings for the rogue.
Sharina is honest with
Monica this time, “Gusto ko kalimutan si Benjie pero nahihirapan ako. Alam ko na di siya nararapat para sa
akin. Andyan si Nelson di ba? Pero bakit ganon? Hindi ko maturuan ang puso ko na mahalin si
Nelson?”
Benjie is on a bridge
facing deep, murky waters. He tells the
heavens, “Ayoko na maging tao.” He
doesn’t want his human life anymore. He asks,
“Ilang parusa na ang ibinigay mo sa akin?”
How many punishments has he had so far.
He is ready to jump. Calling on
the skies above he says, “Kunin nyo na ang kaluluwa ko! Kunin nyo na ang lahat ng gusto nyo. Pero wag lang si Sharina.” He starts to cry. “Ayoko na.
Hindi ko na kaya. Suko na ako!”
He makes a decision, “Huwag
lang si Sharina.” He lets go of the
rails and falls into the water. Emie saw
everything and jumps after Benjie.
Junic is watching
Monica watch the rain fall. It’s a heavy
downpour and Monica comments, “Kanina pa di tumitigil ang ulan. Siguro nakikiramay ang langit kay ate.” The rain isn’t letting up, like the skies are
crying along with Sharina.
Junic uselessly
argues, “Walang kinalaman ang ulan sa ate mo Monica.” To which Monica almost is spot on when she
imagines speaking to her lost love, “Alam ko sasabihin mo, walang kinalaman ang
ulan kay ate. Pero naaawa ako sa ate
ko. Gusto ko kalimutan nya na si Benjie.” Then it dawns on Monica, “pareho lang kami
magmahal.” When they love, it runs
deep. Not even parting, not even death
can dim the fires once lit. She tells
Junic, “Ikaw nga mahal ko pa rin.” Then
wonders what she could do to help her sister forget about her one, true love.
Emie, super preggy
Emie that she is rescues Benjie from drowning himself. [Ang galing ni Emie ha?!] She drags him along
the waters and pushes him up to land. “Benjie? Benjie!”
Emie tries to wake him. It works,
Benjie comes to. Emie sighs but shows
Benjie she is upset about what he did, “Ano ba?
Buti na lang sinundan kita.
Talaga bang gusto mong magpakamatay o talagang nahulog ka lang?”
Benjie isn’t sure
about being rescued, he wanted to die. “Anong ginawa mo? Papaano?”
[Yeah even I was surprised how Emie is such a life –saver!]
Emie tells him, “Noon
pa, pinangako ko na sasamahan kita.” She
tells him she will never leave him, instead will face his burdens like they
were her own and join him. [awwws Emie, true love ka talaga kay Benjie, but who
is the real father of your child? I bet it’s Gimo.]
Emie takes Benjie
home, gives him hot milk, dries him up.
She really shows him that she cares for him and will take care of him no
matter what. Benjie recalls what Roan
said, “May mga bagay na sadyang hindi itinakda.”
Benjie thinks, “Kung
hindi si Sharina, ikaw ba iyon Emie?
Ikaw ba ang babaing nakatakda para sa akin?” Questioning whether Emie is the one meant for
him and not Sharina.
Elsa and Ginella are
in a hurry to leave the house, they’ve sold it again! Monica tells her sister to let them go but Sharina
insists on knowing who the new owner is.
Monica smiles, telling Sharina she doesn’t need to know who the new
owner is. Revealing that it is Sharina.
Nelson arrives,
telling Sharina that he bought the house and named it after Sharina. Now she really is the true owner of Lily’s
old home. [Kayaman naman ni Nelson at
katanga talaga ni Sharina for not taking care of the paperwork before, eh di
sana di na sha nagka-utang na loob kay Nelson at di na sha nagulangan ng hayop
nyang pinsan at tiyahin! ]
At the wedding
seminar, Emie looks happy while Benjie is not.
Meanwhile Nelson and
Sharina go on a date. Sharina seems
happy but only on the outside. Nelson
touches her hand. She pulls back,
thinking about Benjie. This is not
missed by Nelson who also knows Sharina well.
Emie and Benjie go to
an ukay-ukay to choose their wedding garb.
Benjie seems stoic, not really into what they are doing while Emie is
excited and makes some suggestions for Benjie to wear.
Nelson is at the
workshop, he hurt himself. Sharina comes
to his rescue and sees that he has carved a wood with her face. She is genuinely touched knowing Nelson
really cares for her.
Sharina and Nelson are
out on a date again and she mentions his injury from when he was carving, “Masakit
pa ba yang sugat mo?” Nelson shakes his
head, no. “Di na masyado.”
Sharina chastises him
a bit, “Ikaw naman kasi, di ka naman manlililok.” [Yeah and we know another man
who isn’t a manlililok who is trying hard to be! ]
Nelson tells her that
he wanted to give her something that he made himself. Sharina knows she owes Nelson a lot and tells
him. “Dami ko nang utang sa iyo.”
Nelson tells her that
he owes her whatever happiness that he feels.
Then, as if collecting on the debt that Sharina admits she owes, he asks
for her hand in marriage! He promises
her that she’ll be happy with him. He
kneels and pulls out a ring. [Ay ang
bilis ni Nelson! Carpe diem talaga!]
Sharina is silent,
obviously caught off her guard. He prods
her, “Nararamdaman ko na di mo pa tuluyang nakakalimutan si Benjie.” He asks her to agree, beg really, to marry
him and he promises he will make her forget about him. Then seeing his offensive move is only making
Sharina shrink back, he changes tactics, “Pero kung ayaw mo, mauunawaan ko.” He adds this time getting into sorry puppy-mode
, that he won’t take it against Sharina if she says no.
This seems to work,
prompting Sharina to admit, she is lucky she has him. “Napaka-swerte ko nakilala kita.”
Nelson doesn’t really beat around the bush, he
senses victory as he goes for the kills, “Oo o hindi lang ang hinihintay kong
sagot.”
Sharina doesn’t
disappoint, “Oo Nelson, tinatanggap ko.
Magpapakasal ako sa iyo.” She
smiles and they hug. Nelson is ecstatic
but as soon as her face is hidden from Nelson, we see Sharina in tears.
Emie and Benjie
together. Emie says that according to
her doctor, one more month to go before they know the sex of the baby. She asks Benjie, “Ikaw Benjie, ano ang gusto
mo, babae o lalaki?”
Benjie shrugs saying
he doesn’t care. He feels sullen of late
and adds, “Di ko kontrolado ang anak natin.”
Somehow complaining of losing control of his own life and wants as well.
Emie stops and tells
him, “Buti na lang masaya ako kung hindi papatulan talaga kita.” Benjie isn’t aware how hurtful his words are
to Emie, “Bakit may nasabi ba akong masama?”
Any further argument
is forgotten as Lola Ingga comes yelling, “Good news, sa susunod na linggo na
ang kasalang bayan!”
Emie smiles, excited
about her wedding to Benjie while Benjie looks like he is about to be hanged to
death.
Monica notices how
Sharina is reacting to all her wedding preparations as well commenting, “Ate
ikaw lang ang ikakasal na hindi masyadong masaya.” Monica notes how Sharina is so calm and
somewhat uncaring about the whole thing.
Sharina insists, “Masaya
ako.” She is happy. Monica challenges her to convince
herself. Sharina stops her pretense and
tells Monica truthfully, “Magiging masaya din ako Monica, kasi alam ko na mahal
ako ni Nelson.”
Monica tries to cheer
up her sister telling her not to be sad, assuring her Nelson loves her.
Sharina and Nelson
went to see the parish priest to make final preparations for the wedding. The priest tells them all is set and expects
to see them the next day for the actual wedding.
Sharina looks up at
the bell tower. Nelson cuts her reverie,
offering to drive her home. She insists
that Nelson go ahead as she has forgotten
something at the parish office.
Nelson insists he will
wait but Sharina reminds him of his stag party, “Mauna ka na, di ba may stag
party pa kayo ng barkada mo?” Nelson acquiesces,
“Oo nga pala ano.” He kisses Sharina and
goes.
Grace and Rico are
still pretending but Grace seems to enjoy it, apparently falling for Rico. They are very loved up in the sofa when
Lizette enters. She asks them, “Gusto
nyo ng popcorn?” Rico innocently agrees,
“Meron? Pahingi!” But Lizette stomps to the TV and switches it
off.
She yells at the
pretenders, “Gusto nyo gawing sinehan itong bahay ko!” Rico asks her why she turned it off. She asks if they are the ones paying her
electric bills. Grace tries to stop the
two from arguing, telling Rico, “Hayaan mo na lang Rico, nagseselos lang yan.”
Lizette denies she is
jealous, “Di ako nagseselos!” This seems
to challenge Rico and asks her, “Wala?”
Lizette is adamant, “Wala talaga!”
Rico grabs Grace who
is only too happy to comply to Rico’s pretense but then he kisses her and Grace
wishes their kisses are for real.
Lizette watches, shocked, seething in jealousy, afraid to admit the
truth.
Sharina goes up the
bell tower as if saying her own goodbyes to a once happy place for her. Benjie is there too, making his own
farewells. Sharina stops, “Benjie?” He turns around and his face lights up, happy
to see Sharina, “Sharina.”
He goes to her but she
hesitates, he says, “Araw-araw akong pumupunta rito, umaasa na pumunta ka
dito. Sinagot na ang panalangin ko.” He hugs her, missing her so.
But Sharina hardens
herself for what she is about to say, “Hindi ako nagpunta rito para
makipagbalikan sa iyo. Ikakasal na ako
kay Nelson bukas.” She is marrying
Nelson tomorrow.
Abangan: Overnight at the Bell Tower.
