Dear?

Dear?

I could hear you crying.

You’re missing your mom again?

Just sleep it off.

You should relax, and take a rest.

Don’t drink too much anymore, Dad.

Hey, who’s the parent here?

This is fine.

You handle things tomorrow, okay?

I’ll head to Manila to buy supplies.

Okay, dear?

Good night.

Don’t cry anymore.

Lina… Lina.

Lina.

Lina...

- Cheers! - What are you doing here?

I’ve been looking for you.

I just needed to get ready for you.

I’ll take this later. I might not get hard, if I drink it.

- Are you tired? - No, I’m not.

Making delicious bread requires a lot of practice and skill.

When kneading,

you push it down and outward, using only the palms of your hands.

Be gentle with it.

Okay, okay, Chef Mona.

Are you done kneading that dough? Just do it later.

You’re such a killjoy. This is Sandra’s farewell party.

- Let’s start drinking. - Let’s have a drink!

It’s just that my dad’s arriving early. He said there’s a big order tomorrow.

You should let him bake his own bread.

You know your dad... He’s probably kneading somewhere else in another town.

Hey!

Come on, let’s drink!

Take shot, enough with that kneading. She’s getting horny when you do that.

- Alright, alright. - There you go.

- Wow! - Bottoms up!

Sandra really wants to get Mona drunk...

More?

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Hey. - Mhm?

My mom texted, bring me home! I need to go home.

I need to go, come on.

- Are you going with us? - I’ll go a little bit later.

She’s not going... Really, huh?

- Then, let’s go. - Okay, we need to go. Bye.

- Bye. - You take care in Manila, okay?

Take care, take care!

Mona... be careful here...

- Bye, bye. - Bye.

I'll just finish this.

The kneading…

over and over.

- Hey... - Back and forth.

- Sandra... - And it should never be rushed.

You’re just drunk.

I’m just practicing what you taught earlier.

What are you doing?

I know I’m the one you really want.

You’re just pretending with Jake.

- What? - I've known it for a long time.

No, I’m not...

Charice told me that you want me so bad.

I see how you look at me.

Over and over...

Back and forth.

Gently...

And it should never be rushed...

You need to get it wet...

Back and forth.

Over and over...

It should never be rushed...

Why do I feel like you’re still not sure?

Why are you hesitant?

You’re leaving, aren’t you?

I need to leave.

There’s nothing in store for us here in our province.

You’re still leaving?

Of course, there’s nothing for me here…

and you, you have so many dreams.

Then, what about us?

Us? Come on, Mona.

I need to be early tomorrow. I’ll get going.

Why don’t you stay here for the night?

I need to leave early tomorrow, Mona.

Mona! Mona! It’s already late,

and you’re not at the bakery yet!

- I’m coming. - Hurry up!

What the hell are you wearing?

Are you a slut? Your whole body’s on display!

I’m sorry, I’ll go change.

Dress properly, Jake’s downstairs waiting.

Jake.

- Mr. Adon. - Mona’s just getting dressed.

Okay, no problem, sir.

- Eat. Have some coffee. - Sure, I’ll have coffee.

- Here’s your prescription, by the way. - Oh, thanks.

At last, I can get a good night’s sleep.

Thank your mom for me. I’ll stop by sometime for a check-up.

Okay, I’ll tell her that.

This is why our bakery isn’t thriving…

your delivery is waiting.

- I’m sorry. - It’s embarrassing to the Chief.

I’m sorry, Pa. I just stayed up late prepping the orders.

- I even texted you. - Well, damn it, I lost my phone.

- What? How? - How else? Of course it got stolen.

I’m suspecting it’s Lina.

Mona, you shouldn’t stay up so late.

Don’t worry, once we’re married,

you won’t have to work in your bakery anymore.

Dad, it’s too early for that.

How is this too early?

If I hadn’t come home, you wouldn’t even be awake.

I’m sorry.

Mr. Adon, maybe Mona’s still grieving.

Grieving? It’s been a year since we buried her mother.

Mona, you’d better start thinking.

Jake’s here, waiting for you, ready to marry you.

Remember, our bakery depends on their family’s investment...

Yes, Dad.

Go on, Mona. Show Jake the bakery operations.

- Okay, Dad. - See you, Mr. Adon.

What are you up to after here?

Here are the supplies, it’s where we put our stocks.

This is my daughter, Mona.

Mona, this is Lucy.

Lucy’s studying at a pastry school in Manila,

but she also wants to learn from us here.

Good thing there’s someone to replace Lina.

What happened to her? Why did she suddenly leave?

Let her be.

I’ll leave you to Mona.

- I need to go. - Okay, Dad.

Pastry school, huh? You’re probably better than me.

No way, girl... uh,

- I mean Ma’am Mona. Sorry. - Just Mona.

So, why did you end up here? Why didn’t you just train in Manila?

- There are plenty of bakeries there. - There are, but you need experience.

Besides, this is my province, and I always hear people

saying your monay here is really good...

I mean, the bread.

Well, in that case, it’s good that you’re here.

Plus, it’s really my dream to become a great pastry chef.

Are you serious about that?

Of course, ma’am.

If that’s the case, you’re officially in.

- Hi, Mona. - Good morning, Chief. Our first customer.

- What’s for today? - Our favorite, your bread.

- What’s with the wink, Chief? - You know, Banal has a crush on you.

Come on, Chief. I just like the monay here.

- How many? - Make it three.

Alright.

You guys really come all the way here, huh?

Mona, your monay is just really something else.

You're such an idiot, Banal...

Sorry, Mona, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just really good.

- Keep the change. - Thanks, take care.

Ma’am Mona, your monay’s really famous around here, huh?

You’re like those two guys.

No... I meant the monay.

Stop with the formalities. Just call me Mona.

- Mona. - Let’s go back to the kitchen.

Okay.

Kneading should be gentle.

Like caressing.

Try it.

Let’s begin with softness. Like affection.

- That’s something else. - You’ve never done that before?

That kind of slap with so much force?

No, but I bet it makes the bread taste even better.

You should use this, okay?

Like this.

How are you?

I've been trying to reach you for days, but you've only called me now?

Wow, you’re so clingy. I’m calling now, right?

How are you?

Same. Tired.

Are you alone there?

Uh...

Yeah, why?

I’m alone in my dorm, too.

What are we doing, Sandra?

Well, maybe you need to relax for a bit.

Ah...

Don’t you miss a certain caress?

Because I do.

What’s happening here?

- Are you drunk, Sandra? - A little bit.

How was it again? Your way of kneading?

Upwards... gently...

Upwards... downwards...

Knead it like this?

Knead...

Kneading shouldn’t be rushed, right?

Upwards...

Downwards...

Gently...

Oh my, Mona...

I can still feel your caress.

I missed this, Mona.

Imagine that I’m that pillow. Knead it, upwards...

Knead it, Mona.

Can you feel it, Mona?

Mona.

I can feel you through this videocall.

Right, Mona?

What are we doing, Sandra?

Huh?

What do you mean?

You know this is just for fun, right?

We can't keep doing this.

What are we really?

What do you mean? We’re friends, right?

Just friends?

It’s been like that for a long time. Just for fun, right?

You know, Mona, if you can’t handle it, then don’t.

Annoying.

Hello?

Hi, Mona. Do you want to hang out tonight?

There’s a new bar that just opened.

Uh... Sure.

♪ This is all for you ♪

- You’re a good singer. - Whoo!

Are you really okay?

Are you okay?

I just miss my mom.

Four, five...

Come dance with me.

Let's take some shots.

Did you enjoy it?

Mona, are you really okay?

Jake...

I don’t want you to think

that I’m easy to get.

Huh? I don’t think about you like that.

I would never think that about you.

I don’t want you to expect of me.

I just don’t want to lead you on… like there’s more to this.

Uhm, Ma’am Mona.

- I didn’t know you were here. - Lucy.

I’m just here to unwind.

Don’t call me Ma’am, just Mona.

Oh, right.

I'll go ahead then.

Uh... Mona...

I’m not being nosy...

But if you need someone to talk to, I’m here, okay?

- Alright? - Thanks, Lucy.

Lucy.

Good job today.

- Tomorrow again, okay? - Okay.

You’re getting the hang of it.

Blow it first.

- Delicious? - M-hm.

Lucy?

Lucy?

Julian...

what do you mean flirting?

That's why I got a job, right? To save up...

so we can see each other again.

Lucy, dinner’s ready.

Do you need someone to talk to?

I come here whenever I have a problem.

And also because, this is where I stash this.

- Shot? - Shot.

You know, when my mom was younger,

her mission was to travel all around the Philippines to learn every kind of bread.

Really?

That's amazing... that's what I want too.

Sometimes, I blame myself.

If my mom didn't have any obligations to me,

she could have been free to chase her dream.

What about you, Mona?

What’s your dream?

I don’t know. All I know is I don’t want to rot here.

I want to see the world.

Is that so? Then do it.

It’s not possible.

Why? Is it because of your dad?

I think...

that she died from stress because of Dad.

What?

My mom.

My dad has done so many stupid things.

I wish I had something like this.

A place to run to,

especially when Julian’s bothering me.

Julian?

- Your boyfriend? - No. My girlfriend.

Ah...

She called me earlier

to end whatever we had.

Girlfriend?

It was awful.

I felt suffocated.

She was toxic.

How long have you been together?

Almost two years.

LDR is hard.

I’ve never had a boyfriend.

What about you?

- You’re also a lesbian? - Hey.

- What are you saying? No... - Really?

You’re a lesbian. You hesitated.

Stop it.

Okay, fine.

I’m not really sure if I’m a lesbian.

What I’m sure about is that I get attracted to women as well.

Well...

Cheers. We’re both lesbians here, then.

- Hey, I’m not yet sure. - Yeah, whatever.

- Whatever you say. - Wouldn’t it be nice to go out?

- Especially, when Dad’s not around. - Sure, but with that outfit?

- You’re going to party with that? - Why not?

Look at what I’m wearing...

See? This is how it should be.

I’ll dress you up.

Fine.

- Am I doing it right? - Yeah.

See? You look better.

You look better when you're all dressed up.

When I dress up like this, my dad would call me a prostitute.

That’s not true, Mona. You look beautiful. Let me see your back.

- You’re teasing me. - I’m not.

Wait, there’s something missing.

Here.

You'll look more beautiful.

There, perfect. Have a look.

See? You look better when you're all dressed up.

Really?

Do you really think I’m beautiful?

What’s that? It looks cool.

Ah, this? These are games at Playtime.ph.

I usually do this before I sleep.

Do you want to try it?

See? We won.

Yeah, cool.

- Scatter? - Yeah, it means that we’ve won.

Now we have money for a date.

It’s easy to cash out your money here.

Let’s keep playing.

- Yes! - Wow!

Add more pressure.

Add more, to make it more delicious.

I’m just going to take my lunch break, Ma’am.

- Okay. - Thank you.

You know what feels good?

Your caress.

You’re cheeky.

We didn’t go out last night,

should we continue it later?

- Let’s go out tonight? Dad’s not here. - Game?

Do you want to go out later?

- Let’s go to the cinema? - Sure.

I heard there’s a new show, it's “In Your Arms”.

Really? Let’s go, then.

Lucy, you've been here for almost three weeks now.

Yeah, Dad, she’s learned a lot.

- Is your arm okay now? - Yes, sir.

That’s good.

Lucy, do you know why the pastry here taste so good?

I think so. I think I can do it, too.

Should I take a final exam for you?

Mona, get your things ready, Jake is on his way.

You’re going out with his family today.

- Dad, maybe we can... - What do you mean?

Shut up. You’re going with them to their resort’s opening.

Go on, get your things ready.

Get your things.

He's on his way...

Oh, he's there already.

Jake.

- Jake. - Mr. Adon, hello.

Hi.

- Let’s go? - I’ll just get my things.

- She’ll just get her things, Jake. - Yeah, sure. I can wait.

Lucy, this is Jake. She’s our new employee.

Hi. Jake.

- Lucy. - Nice to meet you. Hello.

Beautiful, isn’t she? If I was younger, I would definitely date her.

You’re silly, Mr. Adon.

- Here, have a shot. - No, thanks. I’ll be driving.

Wow. You’re all set? Let’s go?

- Bye, sir. - Enjoy, guys. Mona, take care of Jake.

Let’s go.

Lucy, later, you’ll be managing here alone.

- I’ll take care of your overtime. - Okay, sir.

Oh, Sir Adon, the bakery is all set. I’ve already fixed it.

Here’s for your overtime.

- Thank you. - Oh, and also, you passed the exam.

Thank you so much, Sir Adon.

With that, we should celebrate.

Sure...

Here, have a shot.

Congratulations, have another shot.

- One more? - Of course, it’s a celebration.

- I need to rest, sir. - I’ll walk you out.

- Let me help you. Lie down. - I’m fine...

Relax, you’re dizzy. You should sleep it off.

I think we should do this more often, right?

Uh...

Thanks, Jake.

Jake...

I told you we’re just friends, right?

Why? Is there someone else, Mona?

Sorry, Jake.

Hello? Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there.

As long as there’s drinking, I won’t be left behind.

Sir...

Sir...

Oh, Mona, you’re back?

Since when?

What the hell, Lucy.

How long have you been fooling me?

With my own father!

Mona...

No!

There’s nothing between us, Mona. If you only knew...

He abused me.

He took advantage of me, Mona. Please...

I'm disgusted with myself, Mona. Please forgive me.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, Mona.

I’m sorry because...

He blackmailed me.

What blackmail?

He took a video of me.

What if he leaks it?

I’m scared, Mona.

I’m sorry.

So that’s why they all started leaving.

Who are they?

The previous bakers, like Lina.

Lucy, we need to go to the police.

What my father did is too much.

Mona, just wait a bit.

The situation might get worse if we report it.

What if he spreads that video of us?

Lina?

Ma'am Mona.

Why did you ask me to come here?

Lina...

I want to know what happened.

Tell me the truth. Why did you suddenly leave?

Did he do something to you too?

Did something happen to you too?

Yes...

I even have evidence.

The medicine he’s drinking,

he makes us drink that, and that’s when he does a scandal.

I took his phone when I left.

Why didn’t you go to the police?

Who would believe a woman like me, who used to work at a bar?

I just don’t want him to leak our scandal.

Maybe they’ll listen to you.

My dad should be held accountable.

How are you going to do that?

We’ll report him to the police.

Let’s help each other to get him arrested.

I just want to live a peaceful life with my child.

Lina...

I need to go, Ma’am Mona.

I have a friend in Manila

who could help us.

Don’t worry anymore.

Yeah. Thanks, bro.

- Let’s do this again. It was fun. - Go up. Get our things.

I’ll go get his phone. Go on, get our things.

Just give me my share, okay? I won during our drinking session.

Yeah, yeah, I’ll make it up to you. See you again tomorrow.

Alright. I’m already drunk...

Just call again tomorrow. Thanks.

Mona. Mona.

Dad.

Get me some water.

- Okay. - Where’s Lucy?

She just went to get something.

Later... I’ll sober up a bit from what I drank.

Then, have Lucy come to my office, okay?

What are you doing with my phone?

- Give me back my phone. - I know what you’ve been doing to them.

- What are you talking about? - You’ve been taking advantage of them!

- What? - Lucy, Lina!

Are you crazy? Come here you...

Why do you believe those two?

They're sluts... you believe them?

You son of a bitch!

You animal!

You have no compassion for us!

Damn you!

Lucy, that’s enough. We need to go.

Wait, the keys.

Let’s go, Mona. We need to hurry.

- Lucy, I’m scared. - Don’t worry.

We’re going to Manila, I’ve already talked to my friend.

- We’ll be safe there. - Lucy, there’s the police.

- Calm down, they don’t know. - What are we going to say?

- Ma’am, where are you headed? - To Manila.

Alright, the election is coming up so we have these checkpoints.

Mona?

Mona? Can I speak with you?

Do you think he knows?

Chief, what is it about?

It’s about your father.

- Is there a problem? - Yes, there is.

Your father’s in big trouble.

Someone came to the precinct earlier,

and filed a complaint... they’re saying it’s rape.

Your former employee... Lina.

We need your cooperation, and a statement.

Sure, sir. We’ll go ahead to the precinct.

Okay, thank you. Take care.

Let’s go.
