Marimar Episode 91 – The one about Marimar having a sister
Aired in the UAE 24 December 2007, Monday
Vanessa Mae reveals to Marimar about herself and the daughter she gave away at birth, a child sired by Gustavo Aldama, Marimar’s father. Marimar is excited at the thought that she has a sibling.
Corazon doubts if Marimar indeed does have a sister and tells Marimar so. Marimar wants to talk to her aunt, Esperanza, to seek her advice and ask if she can truly trust this woman, Vanessa Mae.
Dra. Ria meets with Julio and she asks him about Renato. She requests if the young man could help talk to Renato so the elder man could recall his past and gain his life back.
Monica asks Angelika where they are headed as both walk briskly. Monica is cautious as both haven’t got any money. Angelika says she’s got a thousand pesos. Monica is pleased and asks her friend where she got the money. Angelika frankly tells Monica, “Asan pa? Di sa bulsa ng asawa mo!” that she stole some money from Diego’s pockets.
Julio can see that the lady doctor has a soft spot for her latest patient and he tells her, “Nahuhulog na ang loob mo sa kanya.” (You’re falling for him.)
Corazon tells Marimar to consider that Vanessa Mae could just be a poser, someone out to con Marimar. But Marimar is more excited about the fact that if Vanessa Mae is telling the truth and she does have a sister, who is she? And where is she? How will Marimar find her?
Monica is shocked at Angelika’s revelation. “Kinukupitan mo si Diego?!” (You’re stealing money from Diego?)
Angelika reasons she is just borrowing it and will pay later when she’s got more money. “Hiram lang, babayaran din.”
Monica tries to tell her friend something, “Eh kasi naisip ko lang…” (You know I was thinking…)
But Angelika cuts her off, “Wag ka nang mag-isip. Wala kang isip.” (Stop thinking. You are incapable of thinking. You have no brains.)
Sergio visits Cruzita who is very happy to see her father. He tells Marimar that they are going out for some bonding time. Then he asks her is she isn’t going. “Hindi ka ba sasama?” Sergio’s eyes pleads with Marimar to join them.
While Angelika and Monica are walking they bump into Angelika’s father, Jose. Angelika turns from this bitch into a supplicating child calling for her father to recognize her. Jose, obviously drunk tells them, “Anak? Di kita anak kasi baog ako.” (Child? You are not my child because I cannot have children. I’m sterile.)
Marimar tries to avoid looking into Sergio’s eyes as she reasons that she’s too busy with work. But Cruzita pleads with her to come join them, “Please mommy, happy ako kung kasama ka namin.” (I’d be happy if you’re with us.)
Angelika presses on telling her father that she is his daughter. “Tay, ako (ang) anak nyo.” (I am your child.)
It takes all of Marimar’s will power to reject her daughter’s pleas. She tells Cruzita that she is truly busy but if she finishes her work early, she will call them and follow. Cruzita seems to accept this and Sergio can be seen to show a bit of disappointment. Marimar tells Cruzita to be a good girl. The child replies, “Lagi naman po akong good girl,” telling her mother that she is always one.
To Sergio, Marimar adds, “Ingat kayo ha?” (Take care.) Sergio kisses Marimar and both get surprised at how normal the kiss went, almost as if it would have happened on its own, but of course they pretended not to notice.
Angelika is left depressed when even her own father rejects her. She laments, “Bakit lahat ng tao ayaw sa akin? Ganon ba ako ka walang-kwenta ha? Lahat ng mahal ko, ayaw sa akin.” (Why does everyone dislike me? Am I that useless? Everyone I love rejects me.) She yells at Monica to leave her alone.
A while later Angelika is drunk like her father earlier. She gulps down a bottle of alcohol while walking. She sits on the curb and recalls Sergio’s hurtful words: that she was just an object that Sergio and Renato toyed with. She also recalls her own father’s rejection of her: 'hindi kita anak!'
Sergio takes Cruzita to work. At the Santibanez Motors office she meets her tito (uncle) Antonio and Arturo. Arturo suggests, “Pwede be tita Arturo na lang tawag mo sa akin?” (Can you call me auntie Arturo instead?) Antonio just laughs and shakes his head, “Arturo ikaw talaga.” Hoping Arturo would stop confusing the child.
Ria visits Renato and she tells him that he seems to be getting better. Renato agrees and adds that if he gets really better, “Aayain kitang mag-date,” he’ll take Ria out on a date. Ria reminds him that he is married. “Renato, may asawa ka na.”
A very drunk Angelika crosses the street and gets hit by a speeding van.
Renato nods in agreement but reveals, “Naaalala ko, puro masama ang pinagsamahan namin.” (I can remember that our relationship was mostly bad.)
He admits that he doesn’t fully know himself nor does he fully know Ria; but adds, “Pero gusto kong malaman mo na gusto kita.” (I want you to know that I like you.)
Ria looks on Renato, a smile growing on her lips. He gets the courage to ask her, “Kung manliligaw ba ako sa yo, papayag ka?” (Would you allow me to woo you?)
Angelika lies on the road, unconscious and injured from the collision. One of the pedestrians who saw the accident runs to Angelika.
In her home Vanessa Mae is thinking about her daughter. She prays, “Sana mahanap na kita anak at nang maituwid ko na ang mga naging kasalanan ko.” (I hope I find you soon, my child, so I can correct the wrongs I’ve made in the past.)
Sergio is preparing to leave the office and his friends ask where he is going. He tells them he is off to take Cruzita home and hopefully to see Marimar too. His friends wish that this access to Cruzita would lead to his reconciliation with Marimar. Sergio could only hope. “Sana nga.”
Marimar’s car arrives at the accident and she sees Angelika. It is a case of hit and run. The woman asks Marimar who has gotten off her vehicle to take a close look if she knows the victim. Marimar denies it, “Hindi.” The woman tells her that Angelika needs help badly. Marimar debates within herself whether she is going to help Angelika after all she has done to her or just leave her in the road to die. An angry voice inside her protests against helping her mortal enemy, “Bakit ko siya tutulungan? Mortal kong kaaway si Angelika!”
Sergio is worried, Marimar should have called at least to check on Cruzita by now. It is so unlike her not to check on her daughter. He looks at Cruzita who is happily playing with Arturo but Sergio gets more and more worried as time passes without any news from Marimar.
Marimar makes a decision that truly shows how good she is deep inside , “Sige dalhin natin sa ospital.” (Let’s take her to the hospital.) Marimar’s driver carries Angelika and they drive off to the hospital.
Sergio calls Cruzita telling her daughter that it’s time to go home but Cruzita pleads, “Not yet, I want to stay with you.” Arturo smiles, “Inggit naman ako!” pretending to be envious at how sweet Cruzita is to Sergio. Antonio adds, “Parang gusto ko nang magka-baby!” (Makes we want to have children too!)
Antonio recalls he and his father were very close too. This prompts Cruzita to ask her own father about her grandfather. Sergio becomes serious, “Matagal nang di kami nagkikita.” (It’s been a while since we saw each other.)
Cruzita is curious, “Bakit daddy?” (Why?) Sergio honestly tells her, “Di kami magkasundo noon. Kaya naisip naming magpakalayu-layo na muna sa isa’t isa.” (We didn’t agree on many things then so we decided to steer clear of one another for a while.)
The child feels sorry, “Ang lungkot naman.” (How sad.) Sergio cheers her up as he too makes a decision to mend his relationship with his father, “Dati yon, pero ngayon gusto kong magkasundo na kami.” (That was then, but now I want us to be close.)
Renato continues to convince Ria to give him a chance. “Simple lang, kung gusto mo: Oo; kung ayaw mo, di huwag. Hindi ka humihindi so ibig sabihin, may pag-asa.” (It’s simple, if you like me: yes. If not, then no. But you aren’t saying no so that means I have a chance.)
Ria explains, “Duktor mo ako. At may asawa ka na. Nandito lang ako para tulungan ka.” (I’m your doctor and you’re already married. I’m just here to help.)
Angelika is now in the hospital. She is bleeding and screaming in pain. Marimar looks on her nemesis and pities Angelika for her sufferings. Angelika calls out Sergio’s name, “Sergio tulungan mo ako!” Angelika stubbornly fights with the doctor and nurses even when in pain!
Marimar finally arrives home looking exhausted. Sergio is there, waiting. He tells her, “Madaling araw na.” (It’s the wee hour of the morning.) He looks worried, “May nangyari ba sa iyo?” (Did anything happen to you?)
Marimar looks absorbed in something, “Wala, pumunta ako sa ospital.” (Noting, I went to the hospital.)
Sergio looks more alarmed, “Ospital? Bakit, may nararamdaman ka ba?” (Hospital? Why, is anything wrong?)
Marimar tells him, “Dinala ko si Angelika.” (I took Angelika to the hospital.)
Sergio looks puzzled now. “Si Angelika? Bakit?” (Angelika? Why?)
Marimar tells him what happened, Angelika’s accident, her being in the same place…”Di ko alam kung pinaglalaruan ba talaga kami ni tadhana. Si Angelika ang huling taong gusto kong tulungan.” (I don’t know if fate is playing some trick on us. Angelika is the last person I’d want to help.) She tells Sergio that while Angelika was in pain, she was calling out his name.
Sergio admires how Marimar helped the woman who caused her so much pain. This only makes him love her more as he stresses, “Di ko siya mahal, ikaw ang mahal ko.”
But Marimar tells him to stop, “Hindi pa ako handa,” as she is not yet ready to deal with what he is telling her.
Sergio nods, “Kaya nga ako nandito para patunayan sa iyo.” (I’m here to prove to you how I feel.)
Vanessa Mae takes out a small cloth commonly used as a baby diaper. She looks at it as she cries, asking for forgiveness from the child she gave away. “Mapapatawad mo ba ako? Kasi sa sarili ko di ko mapatawad. Nasaan ka?” (Can you forgive me? I cannot seem to forgive myself. Where are you?)
Angelika comes to and the nurse tells her that she is not yet fully recovered and must rest. The nurse also tells her that a Senora Aldama brought her to the hospital.
Marimar with tia Esperanza, Vanessa Mae and a private investigator hold a meeting. Vanessa Mae ask Marimar whether she believes in her. Marimar frankly admits that she doesn’t but adds that there are many ways to find out about the truth.
Monica visits Angelika at the hospital and checks on her friend. “Di ka ba nabalian? Wala kang galos?” (Didn’t you break any bones? How about some scratches?)
Angelika snaps at Monica, “Tingan mo nga ang hitsura ko!” (Just take a look at me!)
Monica tries to calm her friend, “Buti na lang may sumaklolo agad sa iyo.” (It’s a good thing that someone was able to help you in time.)
But this seems to anger Angelika all the more as she reveals, “Si Marimar ang tumulong sa akin! Kung sino pa ang taong kinamumuhian ko, siya pa!” (It was Marimar who helped me! Of all the people I hate in this world, it had to be her!)
Vanessa Mae thanks Marimar for helping her find her daughter. Marimar reminds her not to give her thanks yet as they still haven’t found anything, “Di pa natin alam kung saan patutungo ang ating paghahanap.” (We still don’t know where this searching will lead us.)
Monica is quite surpised at Angelika’s outburst when she should be thankful. “Si Marimar? Ang bait-bait naman niya. May utang na loob ka na sa kanya,” (Marimar? How kind of her. Now you owe her.)
Angelika however sees it differently. “Anong utang na loob? Di ko maatim na isang busabos…” (I owe her?! I can’t bear that some poor…)
But Monica cuts her off, “Di na siya busabos. Ikaw na yon!” (But she’s no longer poor. That’s you now!) Angelika kicks Monica for reminding her. The latter whined in pain and kept silent.
In their meeting, Vanessa Mae presses that they need to find their old housemaid with whom she entrusted her child.
The nurse tells Angelika that she need not worry about money as all her hospital bills have already been paid for by Miss Bella Aldama.
After the meeting, Marimar admits to Corazon that she is not sure about her feelings towards Vanessa Mae but she needs to find out about her sister.
Corazon, usually a good judge of character, tells Marimar that Vanessa Mae looks sincere. Marimar hopes that she is as she won’t be able to forgive her if she’s lying. “Sana na, dahil di ko siya mapapatawad kung siya’y nagsisinungaling.”
Esperanza joins them and tells Marimar that she’d like to talk to her about Vanessa Mae. Corazon leaves and Esperanza tells her niece not to believe the sick woman. “Kalokohan yon!” (It’s all nonsense!) Marimar argues with her aunt, asking her what if it is true. Esperanza tells her that this all happened a long time ago. How can they be sure?
Marimar asks her aunt, “Bakit siya magsisinungaling?” (Why would she lie?) Vanessa Mae must be telling the truth. She is rich and so she is not after money. Besides she is a dying woman, suffering from cancer. Her days are numbered and she just wants to find the daughter she gave away, one child that Gustavo sired, the sister that Marimar longs to have…a family she craves.

Marimar Episode 90
Marimar Episode 90 – The one where Sergio and Marimar both survived
Police and media both swarm the place of the crime. Monica and Angelika both watch the news and heard that Sergio rescued Marimar prompting Angelika to comment why Sergio had to go be a hero and rescue the woman she loathes the most.
Meanwhile Renato is ready to leave the hospital and Dr. Ria introduces him to Julio. Ria asks Julio to take care of Renato for her and asks him to lend Renato some clothes as well. Julio looked at Renato, he smiles in a friendly way and adds that Ria doesn’t have to worry, his elder brother, Kuya Fernando’s clothes would fit Renato. Renato asks Ria if Fernando was the boyfriend she lost. Ria wonders how he knew about it.
The police take Rodolfo away but first he would be taken to the hospital so his wounds can be treated. As he lies in a stretcher ready to be taken to the hospital, he calls out Bella’s name. Marimar comes closer but Sergio tells the police to go take him away. Rodolfo insists that he wants to talk to Bella first.
Renato admits to the kindly doctor that the nurse gossip about her. Ria doesn’t like it but Renato tells her that they don’t have any ill intentions. Renato thanks Ria for everything she has done for him, for everything she is still doing to help him. He looks into her eyes with something more than gratitude that unnerves the lady doctor prompting her to say, that all she wanted is for Renato to get his life back and live a normal life. Renato looks thoughtful as he admits, “Ayaw ko nang bumalik sa dati kong buhay. Masaya ako sa piling mo.” (I don’t want to return to my old life anymore. I am happy with you.)
Marimar goes a step close to Rodolfo where he can see her, Sergio quickly right behind her. Rodolfo asks for forgiveness for all he has done. Marimar is sad, she thought she and Rodolfo were friends. She honestly tells the mastermind of her kidnapping, “Hindi ko alam kung mapapatawad pa kita. Hindi mo nga ako pinatay pero ikaw ang may kagagawan ng lahat ng ito.” (I don’t know if I could ever forgive you. You may have not killed me but you were the one responsible for all these.) She turns away as Rodolfo is carried into the ambulance.
Sergio signals the police and ambulance staff, “Sige na kunin nyo na yan.” (Go ahead and take him.) The ambulance door closes and they leave.
Marimar and Sergio hug, thankful to both be alive despite gunshot wounds. (Kilig! They are so good together!) Both hold each other’s hands. Marimar is relieved that this traumatic episode in her life is over. Sergio however is worried that his family is always in danger and he is unable to protect them. (Sergio looks a bit pangit in this scene…medyo monkey-looking but he is so buff, sooo macho! Aw!)
Julio tells Renato it’s best for them to go. On their way out of the hospital, Renato asks the young man how long has it been since his elder brother passed away. Julio replies it’s been seven years.
Dra. Ria is musing on the comment Renato made before leaving. Is her patient falling for her? If he is, is she letting him? There is a hint of a smile but just then Dr. Hayden arrives and tells her they should go.
Sergio is now allowed into Bella’s home after being the hero who saved her from her kidnappers. Corazon is glad of this new development in their lives and hands Sergio a warm cup of coffee telling her old ward, “Two sugars no milk.” Sergio smiles at Corazon glad she still remembers how he liked his coffee. Corazon assures him she never forget and the yaya and ward share a moment.
Cruzita enters Marimar’s room and goes to her mother who smiles and greets her good morning. Cruzita explains, “Daddy told me not to disturb you kase you are resting.” Marimar smiles at her daughter and assures her she is fine, “Ayos a ako lalo na nandito ka na sa tabi ko.”
Fulgoso who is right behind Cruzita comments, “Pinakaba mo kami, tingnan mo nangayayat ako sa pag-aalala.” (You had us all scared! Look at me, losing weight from too much worrying over you!)
In another part of Manila, Angelika is angry that Marimar is okay. “Buwisit na Marimar yan, di maubos-ubusan ng swerte!” (Damn that Marimar, she never seems to run out of luck!)
Sergio asks Corazon, “OK lang bang nandito ako?” (Is it alright for me to stay here?)
Corazon exclaims, “Of course!” She goes over Sergio to check on his wound. She asks him if he is alright. Sergio replies that it still stings but he is alright. “Malayo sa puso,” he jokes about his wound. (It’s far from the heart.)
Angelika unleashes her anger at Marimar’s survival on Carlitos who until now has not done what she has requested of him. She hits him and walks out in a huff.
Corazon sits beside Sergio, ready to make a confession; “Mahal na mahal pa rin ka ni Maam.” (She still loves you very much.)
Sergio lights up, “Talaga?” (Really?)
Marimar thanks her daughter for praying for her. Mother and daughter embrace and comfort each other, glad that they are together.
Corazon tells Sergio what Marimar feels, “Kaya lang hindi ako sure kung gusto pa niya magkabalikan kayo kasi na-hurt sya sa ginawa mong pag-alis. Tapos dagdag pa na hindi totoo ang kasal ninyo. But don’t lose hope, kay habang may buhay, may hope. Marimar will change her mind.” (I’m not sure if she still wants to get back with you. She was hurt when you left her. Add to that the fact that your marriage isn’t even real. But don’t lose hope…)
Sergio sighs, agreeing with Corazon’s wish for Marimar to change her mind. “Sana” Corazon tries to comfort Sergio and taps him on the shoulders, hurting him instead, “Aray” exclaims Sergio in pain. Corazon looks apologetic when she tells him, “Hindi ko po sadya, promise.” (Sorry, I didn’t really mean it.)
After some time, Marimar goes down to the living room area to find Sergio still there. He asks her how she is and she replies that she is alright now. He follows her to the balcony area as they both try to feel what each thinks about the other. Sergio makes a request from Marimar. If possible, he doesn’t want Marimar to take Cruzita away from him. He acquiesces that should she take their daughter abroad, at least to give him their contact number so he could continue being in touch with their child.
In another part of the city, Innocencia is reminiscing the sweet kiss she and a heavily drunken Sergio shared. She looks into the mirror as she touches her lips, hoping for the impossible: that Sergio forgets about Marimar and loves her instead. Her mother, Nanay Leonor, catches her in the moment. She asks, “O bakit nag-iisa kang nakangiti diyan?” (Why are you smiling there all by yourself?)
Marimar tells Sergio her decision of staying put in the country. “Hindi na kami aalis.” Sergio smiles, relieved. “Pabor sa akin yan.” He knows her decision is in his favor. He quickly adds, “Pero kung gusto nyong umalis,” thinking how dangerous it is for his daughter and the woman he loves here in the Philippines, “pwede naman.” He’d rather have them far away and safe than be in the country but always be in danger of kidnapping or whatever crimes.
Marimar softens a bit telling Sergio she is a jealous of their daughter’s affection towards Sergio. “Sa limang taon kaming magkasama, inalagaan ko si Cruzita mag-isa. Nagseselos nga ako dahil ngayon lang kayo nagkita pero hinahanap ka niya.”
Sergio looks into Marimar eyes wanting to say more but instead says, “Thanks for staying.” Marimar in return wants to forgive this man whom she loves with all her heart but keeps her feelings to herself. Instead she replies, “Thanks for rescuing me.”
Prompted by the moment, Sergio tries to make another promise which Marimar quickly cuts off. “Huwag ka nang mangako kung hindi mo kayang tuparin.” (Stop making promises you cannot keep.)
Sergio knows she still hurts inside so he changes his tone and asks for her forgiveness. “Mapapatawad mo ba ako?” He admits he has hurt her recently and in the past. “Sinaktan kita.”
She nods in agreement, “More than you know.” She wants to end them hurting each other so she asks him, “Can you be honest?”
Sergio is quick to reply, “yes”.
Marimar asks him the nagging question in her mind, “Ano ang relasyon ninyo ni Innocencia?” Sergio is honest when he tells her, “Wala.” (Nothing.)
She tells him what she saw, “Nakita ko kayong naghahalikan.” (I saw you kissing.)
Sergio explains. “Lasing na lasing ako noon, akala ko natuloy ang kasal ninyo ni Rodolfo. Naalala ko, nakita kita. Akala ko ikaw yon. Nagulat na lang ako si Innocencia pala.” (I was very drunk. I thought you pushed through with your marriage to Rodolfo. I remember I saw you. I thought it was you. I didn’t know it was Innocencia.)
Nanay Leanor can guess what her daughter is thinking of. She tells her straight waking her from her dreams to reality, “Hindi para sa iyo si Sergio.” (Sergio is not for you.)
Innocencia frowns, reasoning, “Di ba pwedeng umasa man lang?” (Can’t I hope at least?) She whines that Marimar has all the luck especially when it comes to Sergio’s love.
Her mother soothes her, telling her what she already knows. “Tigilan mo na itong kalokohang ito. Si Sergio at si Marimar ang para sa isa’t isa.” (Stop this nonsense. Sergio and Marimar belong together.)
Sergio tries to assure Marimar he’s no longer going to pursue her or force her into anything. “Hindi na kita pipilitin pang mahalin ako.” He is happy that they can talk about things and would accept her friendship, “Kahit maging magkaibigan lang tayo, tatanggapin ko.” He reveals that all he wants is for them to be close by. “Huwag lang kayo lumayo, please.”
Marimar is speechless. Somehow she is not as angry with Sergio anymore, after all he’s done, rescuing her, still caring for her. So they had a fake marriage, so he left her, so he kissed her ex-best friend…so what. Deep down inside she knows there is no other man for her but this man now standing in front of her, moving closer to her until their toes almost touch. She surrenders to the moment as she puts her head on his chest. (Pakipot pa kasi si Marimar eh!)
He tries to keep his arms from embracing the woman he loves to prove to her he wants only to be friends again. He drops his head until it joins hers he takes a deep breath taking in the fragrance of her hair. Can they ever really be just friends when deep inside both know they want nothing but to love one another?
It is morning and Marimar takes joy in the simple act of feeding her daughter. Marimar asks Cruzita, “Sarap?” (Is it delicious?) and she promptly nods, “Opo.” (Yes, it is.)
Cruzita asks her mother if she is going to work and Marimar admits that she is. Cruzita asks whether she can see her father today, if he can come visit her. Marimar smiles at her.
In the Santibanez Motors office the three friends are having a joyful conversation. Arturo and Antonio are getting updates from Sergio. Arturo wants to hear it again, “Bossing talaga, OK na kayo ni Marimar?” (Are you really in good terms now with Marimar?)
Sergio is happy to confirm it, “Oo, inurong na yung restraining order laban sa akin.” He adds that she even voided the restraining order against him.
Antonio asks his friend, “So what are you now?”
Sergio’s smile faded a little when he admits, “We’re friends.”
Corazon enters the dining room with Marimar and Cruzita looking up at the plump cook for news. She tells Marimar that a lady is outside looking for her.
Marimar meets the woman by the lanai area outdoors. She gives her hand to Marimar, “Bella Aldama?” Marimar takes her hand “Yes.” She tells Marimar her name, “Vanessa Mae.” (Played by actress, Lani Mercado)
But Sergio snaps up again as he thinks about his plan of courting Marimar again, “Pero liligawan ko pa rin sha.” Both Arturo and Antonio nod in agreement with Antonio professing, “I support you all the way.”
Vanessa Mae doesn’t waste time to tell Marimar the reason she came, “Kasintahan ko ang ama mo.” (I was your father’s girlfriend.)
Marimar replies, “Walang naman siyang nabanggit.” Gustavo and her didn’t really have time to talk more about themselves given the tragic end Gustavo went through.
Vanessa Mae continues her tale telling Marimar that Gustavo and her parents agreed that she and Gustavo would wed when they come of age. Their families have agreed on this since they were children but she and Gustavo didn’t love each other. Despite having no feelings they did have a relationship that led to her being pregnant. By then Gustavo had met and got head over heels with Lupita so she left not wanting to shame her family. She bore their child but gave it away as soon as the baby was born. Vanessa Mae tells Marimar that she gave the baby to one of their servants.
At the Santibanez Motors office, Innocencia is signing some papers and Arturo notices that she is quieter than usual. “Tahimik ka ata Innocencia?”
The gay driver continues to prod the reason for Innocencia’s self-imposed silence. “Parang di ka masaya dahil nagkabalikan na sina Bossing at Marimar.” (You don’t seem happy now that Sergio and Marimar have gotten back together.) [Err technically, they're not back together but at least they are no longer hostile to each other...well, Marimar is no longer hostile to Sergio.]
Sergio just pretends not to hear this but Innocencia comes to him and says, “I wish you luck, sir” and leaves. Arturo is quite puzzled, “Anong problema noon?” (What’s wrong with her?)
Sergio reasons, “May pinagdadaanan lang siya. Saka ko na lang kakausapin.” (She just going through some things. I’ll talk to her later.)
Normally, most people would doubt incredible stories such as Vanessa Mae had just shared but Marimar looks hopeful, happy even, “May kapatid ako?” (I have a sibling?)
Vanessa Mae nods confirming it. She tells Marimar she is dying and wants to help Marimar find her sister.
Police and media both swarm the place of the crime. Monica and Angelika both watch the news and heard that Sergio rescued Marimar prompting Angelika to comment why Sergio had to go be a hero and rescue the woman she loathes the most.
Meanwhile Renato is ready to leave the hospital and Dr. Ria introduces him to Julio. Ria asks Julio to take care of Renato for her and asks him to lend Renato some clothes as well. Julio looked at Renato, he smiles in a friendly way and adds that Ria doesn’t have to worry, his elder brother, Kuya Fernando’s clothes would fit Renato.

Add to that the fact that your marriage isn’t even real. But don’t lose hope…)
Sergio sighs, agreeing with Corazon’s wish for Marimar to change her mind. “Sana” Corazon tries to comfort Sergio and taps him on the shoulders, hurting him instead, “Aray” exclaims Sergio in pain. Corazon looks apologetic when she tells him, “Hindi ko po sadya, promise.” (Sorry, I didn’t really mean it.)
After some time, Marimar goes down to the living room area to find Sergio still there. He asks her how she is and she replies that she is alright now. He follows her to the balcony area as they both try to feel what each thinks about the other. Sergio makes a request from Marimar. If possible, he doesn’t want Marimar to take Cruzita away from him. He acquiesces that should she take their daughter abroad, at least to give him their contact number so he could continue being in touch with their child.
In another part of the city, Innocencia is reminiscing the sweet kiss she and a heavily drunken Sergio shared. She looks into the mirror as she touches her lips, hoping for the impossible: that Sergio forgets about Marimar and loves her instead. Her mother, Nanay Leonor, catches her in the moment. She asks, “O bakit nag-iisa kang nakangiti diyan?” (Why are you smiling there all by yourself?)
Marimar tells Sergio her decision of staying put in the country. “Hindi na kami aalis.” Sergio smiles, relieved. “Pabor sa akin yan.” He knows her decision is in his favor. He quickly adds, “Pero kung gusto nyong umalis,” thinking how dangerous it is for his daughter and the woman he loves here in the Philippines, “pwede naman.” He’d rather have them far away and safe than be in the country but always be in danger of kidnapping or whatever crimes.
Marimar softens a bit telling Sergio she is a jealous of their daughter’s affection towards Sergio. “Sa limang taon kaming magkasama, inalagaan ko si Cruzita mag-isa. Nagseselos nga ako dahil ngayon lang kayo nagkita pero hinahanap ka niya.”
Sergio looks into Marimar eyes wanting to say more but instead says, “Thanks for staying.” Marimar in return wants to forgive this man whom she loves with all her heart but keeps her feelings to herself. Instead she replies, “Thanks for rescuing me.”
Prompted by the moment, Sergio tries to make another promise which Marimar quickly cuts off. “Huwag ka nang mangako kung hindi mo kayang tuparin.” (Stop making promises you cannot keep.)
Sergio knows she still hurts inside so he changes his tone and asks for her forgiveness. “Mapapatawad mo ba ako?” He admits he has hurt her recently and in the past. “Sinaktan kita.”
She nods in agreement, “More than you know.” She wants to end them hurting each other so she asks him, “Can you be honest?”
Sergio is quick to reply, “yes”.
Marimar asks him the nagging question in her mind, “Ano ang relasyon ninyo ni Innocencia?” Sergio is honest when he tells her, “Wala.” (Nothing.)
She tells him what she saw, “Nakita ko kayong naghahalikan.” (I saw you kissing.)
Sergio explains. “Lasing na lasing ako noon, akala ko natuloy ang kasal ninyo ni Rodolfo. Naalala ko, nakita kita. Akala ko ikaw yon. Nagulat na lang ako si Innocencia pala.” (I was very drunk. I thought you pushed through with your marriage to Rodolfo. I remember I saw you. I thought it was you. I didn’t know it was Innocencia.)
Nanay Leanor can guess what her daughter is thinking of. She tells her straight waking her from her dreams to reality, “Hindi para sa iyo si Sergio.” (Sergio is not for you.)
Innocencia frowns, reasoning, “Di ba pwedeng umasa man lang?” (Can’t I hope at least?) She whines that Marimar has all the luck especially when it comes to Sergio’s love.
Her mother soothes her, telling her what she already knows. “Tigilan mo na itong kalokohang ito. Si Sergio at si Marimar ang para sa isa’t isa.” (Stop this nonsense. Sergio and Marimar belong together.)
Sergio tries to assure Marimar he’s no longer going to pursue her or force her into anything. “Hindi na kita pipilitin pang mahalin ako.” He is happy that they can talk about things and would accept her friendship, “Kahit maging magkaibigan lang tayo, tatanggapin ko.” He reveals that all he wants is for them to be close by. “Huwag lang kayo lumayo, please.”
Marimar is speechless. Somehow she is not as angry with Sergio anymore, after all he’s done, rescuing her, still caring for her. So they had a fake marriage, so he left her, so he kissed her ex-best friend…so what. Deep down inside she knows there is no other man for her but this man now standing in front of her, moving closer to her until their toes almost touch. She surrenders to the moment as she puts her head on his chest. (Pakipot pa kasi si Marimar eh!)
He tries to keep his arms from embracing the woman he loves to prove to her he wants only to be friends again. He drops his head until it joins hers he takes a deep breath taking in the fragrance of her hair. Can they ever really be just friends when deep inside both know they want nothing but to love one another?
It is morning and Marimar takes joy in the simple act of feeding her daughter. Marimar asks Cruzita, “Sarap?” (Is it delicious?) and she promptly nods, “Opo.” (Yes, it is.)
Cruzita asks her mother if she is going to work and Marimar admits that she is. Cruzita asks whether she can see her father today, if he can come visit her. Marimar smiles at her.
In the Santibanez Motors office the three friends are having a joyful conversation. Arturo and Antonio are getting updates from Sergio. Arturo wants to hear it again, “Bossing talaga, OK na kayo ni Marimar?” (Are you really in good terms now with Marimar?)
Sergio is happy to confirm it, “Oo, inurong na yung restraining order laban sa akin.” He adds that she even voided the restraining order against him.
Antonio asks his friend, “So what are you now?”
Sergio’s smile faded a little when he admits, “We’re friends.”
Corazon enters the dining room with Marimar and Cruzita looking up at the plump cook for news. She tells Marimar that a lady is outside looking for her.
Marimar meets the woman by the lanai area outdoors. She gives her hand to Marimar, “Bella Aldama?” Marimar takes her hand “Yes.” She tells Marimar her name, “Vanessa Mae.” (Played by actress, Lani Mercado)
But Sergio snaps up again as he thinks about his plan of courting Marimar again, “Pero liligawan ko pa rin sha.” Both Arturo and Antonio nod in agreement with Antonio professing, “I support you all the way.”
Vanessa Mae doesn’t waste time to tell Marimar the reason she came, “Kasintahan ko ang ama mo.” (I was your father’s girlfriend.)
Marimar replies, “Walang naman siyang nabanggit.” Gustavo and her didn’t really have time to talk more about themselves given the tragic end Gustavo went through.
Vanessa Mae continues her tale telling Marimar that Gustavo and her parents agreed that she and Gustavo would wed when they come of age. Their families have agreed on this since they were children but she and Gustavo didn’t love each other. Despite having no feelings they did have a relationship that led to her being pregnant. By then Gustavo had met and got head over heels with Lupita so she left not wanting to shame her family. She bore their child but gave it away as soon as the baby was born. Vanessa Mae tells Marimar that she gave the baby to one of their servants.
At the Santibanez Motors office, Innocencia is signing some papers and Arturo notices that she is quieter than usual. “Tahimik ka ata Innocencia?”
The gay driver continues to prod the reason for Innocencia’s self-imposed silence. “Parang di ka masaya dahil nagkabalikan na sina Bossing at Marimar.” (You don’t seem happy now that Sergio and Marimar have gotten back together.) [Err technically, they're not back together but at least they are no longer hostile to each other...well, Marimar is no longer hostile to Sergio.]
Sergio just pretends not to hear this but Innocencia comes to him and says, “I wish you luck, sir” and leaves. Arturo is quite puzzled, “Anong problema noon?” (What’s wrong with her?)
Sergio reasons, “May pinagdadaanan lang siya. Saka ko na lang kakausapin.” (She just going through some things. I’ll talk to her later.)
Normally, most people would doubt incredible stories such as Vanessa Mae had just shared but Marimar looks hopeful, happy even, “May kapatid ako?” (I have a sibling?)
Vanessa Mae nods confirming it. She tells Marimar she is dying and wants to help Marimar find her sister.
