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.

Marimar Episode 89 - The One where Rodolfo Shoots Bella
Marimar Episode 89 – The One Where Rodolfo Shoots Bella
Aired in the UAE on Thursday, 20th December 2007
Marimar is back in the room and tied again. The thug enters and she asks for Rodolfo. “Umalis na, babalik na lang daw.” The paid kidnapper tells her that Rodolfo has left and will return later. She offers him triple the amount of what Rodolfo agreed to pay just so he will set her free. “Triple?” he asks doubtful. Marimar eagerly nods, “Oo, mayaman ako, alam mo yon.” (Yes, I’m rich you know.)
Renato and Dra. Ria are talking. The good doctor tells her patient that his vital signs are okay. She also adds that his speech and motion development is improving well. Renato seems unhappy despite the good news. “Bakit ang memory ko, palyado?” Dra. Ria assures him that it is but normal to have a bit of memory loss and compares Renato’s mind to that of a computer’s, “Parang hard drive, ang ibang files corrupted.” She advises to give it time. He will regain his memory soon but he must be patient.
Meantime Rodolfo press the police to catch Sergio but the police tell him they cannot put anything against Sergio as he has a solid alibi.
The hired goon thinks for a while and says, “Baka ipahuli mo ako.” He fears Marimar will have him imprisoned but she shakes her head hoping to get through to the man, “Hinde, tatanawin kong isang malaking utang na loob pakawalan mo lang ako dito”. (I would greatly be indebted to you, if you set me free.) Assuring the man she will not give details about him to the police. He thanks her and keep silent.
Dra. Ria tells Renato that he can leave as he is not on the men. He is caught in a dilemma, “Saan ako nakatira?” (Where do I live?)
Sergio arrives at Bella’s home. Immediately Rodolfo asks him accusingly what he is doing there, “Bakit ka nandito?” Sergio suspects Rodolfo has a hand at Bella’s kidnapping and accuses his rival outright telling the police that of all people, Rodolfo has motive to kidnap Bella.
Marimar prods the thug into agreeing with her, pressing on she relates, “May anak ako. Kailangan ako ng anak ko, pakawalan mo na ako.” (I have a daughter and she needs me so please set me free.)
Having thought it through the ruffian declines her offer, “Kahit anong sabihin mo, sabit na ako sa krimeng ito. Kahit hindi mo ako ipakulong, tiyak ipapakuling ako ni Rodolfo.” (Whatever you say, I’m already in too deep in this crime. Even if you do not send me to prison, for sure Rodolfo will.)
Sergio and Rodolfo’s argument heat up leading to some punches being exchanged. Luckily the police stop them in time with Rodolfo screaming at them to have Sergio put in jail and Sergio retaliating, “Ikaw dapat ang ikulong!” (It is you who should be imprisoned!)
The thug continues to tell Marimar that there is honor even among thieves and low-lives. “Business is business. Di na pwede sumira sa usapan.” (Can no longer back out from an agreement.) He leaves Marimar alone who continues to scream and plead for him to set her free.
After the scuffle, Esperanza comes out of the house to talk to Sergio. It is the first time that they meet so she introduces herself as Marimar’s aunt, “Sergio Santibanez? Esperanza Aldama. Tia ni Marimar.” Sergio goes inside the house to talk with Esperanza leaving a still fuming Rodolfo.
Marimar got tired of shouting. She recalls Cruzita and starts to cry. Flashback to her putting a band aid on her daughter, playing in the pool, eating. She exclaims, “Dios ko, kung ano mang mangyari sa akin, huwag nyong pababayaan ang anak ko.” (God, if anything happens to me, please take care of my daughter.)
Sergio calls Antonio who is at the Santibanez Motors office. He tells him about his suspicions that Rodolfo has a hand at Marimar’s disappearance. His doubts grow even more when Rodolfo seems to be framing him up to take the blame for the kidnapping.
Meanwhile a package arrives at Bella’s home and the police open it. There is a CD inside. They insert it into a computer to view it and Marimar greets them on the screen. She tells them, “Ayaw ko pang mamatay. Ibigay ninyo ang hinihingi ng mga kidnappers ko: 200 million.”
Flashback to Rodolfo showing Marimar a picture of Cruzita. At first, Marimar doesn’t give in to his demands and refuses to read the ransom note but Rodolfo forces her and she acquiesces. In the video, Marimar instructs them to deposit the amount to an account number 246753.
Stunned by the gravity and the reality of it all, it was Tia Esperanza who first spoke, telling the police that she will arrange to have the money transferred as she authorizes the transaction on her niece’s behalf. Rodolfo seconds her decision and urges her to do it as soon as possible.
Angelika is a bit miffed about her new found beau having discovered that he is married. “May asawa ka?” She confronts him. Carlitos shrugs as if it’s the most normal and trivial of all things and adds, “Mga asawa!” Indicating to Angelika he’s got more than one.
Dra. Ria tells Renato that she is releasing him. Renato panics and asks where he is to live. The kind doctor tells him not to worry. He is to stay with her friend. “Makulit yon pero mabait.” Assuring Renato that her friend will take care of him.
Angelika reveals to Carlitos the story of her life: that she loves one man but married another. Carlitos asks her if she regrets that she used her brains instead of her heart.
Renato tells Dra Ria she didn’t have to do any of this, going out of her way to arrange somewhere for him to go to, after his stay at the hospital. Ria tells him she is doing this perhaps because she feels sorry for him. Renato looks in her eyes, hopeful about his question, “Yun lang?” (That’s all?)
Rodolfo calls his friend Bruno to check if the money has indeed been transferred and the handsome side-kick confirms that it has indeed. San Jines is confident the transaction will not be traced as it will immediately get transferred into his Swiss account.
Back at the Santibanez Motors office, Innocencia blames Antonio for not accompanying Sergio in looking for evidences to pin Rodolfo as the mastermind behind Marimar’s kidnapping. She worries that Sergio might do something harsh and cause him ill. Antonio only shrugs, helpless.
Bruno asks his ambitious friend what happens now that the ransom money has been paid. Rodolfo tells him that he still has unfinished business to attend to and cuts the line. Unknown to San Jines, Sergio is tailing him.
Rodolfo arrives at the hideout and ask the thug about Bella. The ruffian answers that she is asleep and Rodolfo hands him his pay. Rodolfo gives him instructions, “Tuloy ang plano, ako papatay sa kanya, ikaw magtatapon ng bangkay niya.” (The plan is set, I’ll kill her and you’ll dispose of the body.)
The hired goon nods his agreement but Rodolfo has another condition: if the plan goes wrong, he, meaning the thug, will take the blame and not Rodolfo. The hooligan shakes his head, surprised at this new provision. He protests, “Wala sa usapan yan!” (That is not in the initial contract!) He demands more payment and Rodolfo is quick to oblige, handing him another envelop of cash. The thug accepts the new terms.
Sergio arrives at the same hideout and crouches beside bushes. He calls the police for back-up.
Rodolfo and his hired goon go inside the house to retrieve Bella. Rodolfo enters Marimar’s room and tells her, “May two million na ako…nakapsok na sa account ko ang two million.” (I already have two million, it’s in my account.)
“Yun naman pala eh,” yells Bella, “pakawalan mo na ako!” (In that case, set me free already!)
But Rodolfo cuts her off and snaps at her, “Hindi ako gago. May plano ako sa iyo.” (I’m not stupid. I have plans for you.)
Arturo tells Innocencia and Antonio that Sergio just called him telling him that he has found Rodolfo’s safehouse. He suspects it is where San Jines is hiding Marimar.
Rodolfo tells Bella his plans. He will kill her, Sergio will be blamed for her murder, and he would be able to salvage his business with the ransom money she paid.
Innocencia fears for Sergio’s safety and urges the two men to take action and call the police.
Rodolfo mocks Marimar, “Patay ka na, nakakulong si Sergio at naisalba ko pa ang kumpanya ko. Everybody happy!” exclaims Bella’s ex-fiance. (You’d be dead, Sergio imprisoned and I’d save my business.)
Sergio notes that there is very little men guarding the premises so he makes his move and shoots thug number 1.
Rodolfo is alerted by the gunshot. Sergio meanwhile is able to neutralize thug number 2.
Rodolfo pulls Marimar up and takes her out of the room. Marimar manages to escape Rodolfo and run away, she bumps into Sergio and they hug. Sergio and Marimar make their escape but Rodolfo runs into them.
Rodolfo and Sergio fight. In the scuffle, Sergio grabs his gun and sees that thug number 1 is still alive so he shoots him again. Rodolfo scrambles and grabs his gun too and aims it at Sergio. Marimar quickly untied herself and seeing Rodolfo aim his gun at the man she loves, she runs to cover Sergio. Rodolfo hits Bella on her back, near her shoulders. Sergio holds Marimar shocked at what she’s done.
The hired thug is still alive and he shoots, complying to their contract, aiming for Sergio. He is hit on his shoulders but hold firmly onto Marimar. He slowly kneels to ease her onto the ground. They continue to hold and embrace each other, supporting each other as they fall.
Thug number 1 comes closer, now ready to complete the contract, he aims true. Rodolfo realizes that Marimar truly loves Sergio seeing how she protected him, taking the bullet for his sake. Rodolfo’s heart is broken as he acknowledges, “Talagang mahal mo si Sergio.” (You truly love Sergio.)
Sergio convinces Rodolfo to give it up telling him that the police are on their way. Rodolfo know’s his hired gunman will finish off Bella and Sergio as per their contract. He uses his gun to shoot at the thug instead, in his own way, saving the lovers from certain death.
Marimar and Sergio continue to convince Rodolfo to surrender. He turns to leave but thug number 1 is like a cat with nine lives, he uses the last of his breath and bullets to pump all into Rodolfo’s back. San Jines falls, a heartbroken multi-millionaire.
Marimar and Sergio continue to hold one another, thankful to be alive despite their bullet wounds. From a distance, sirens and police cars can be heard coming.

Sergio holds Marimar shocked at what she’s done.
The hired thug is still alive and he shoots, complying to their contract, aiming for Sergio. He is hit on his shoulders but hold firmly onto Marimar. He slowly kneels to ease her onto the ground. They continue to hold and embrace each other, supporting each other as they fall.
Thug number 1 comes closer, now ready to complete the contract, he aims true. Rodolfo realizes that Marimar truly loves Sergio seeing how she protected him, taking the bullet for his sake. Rodolfo’s heart is broken as he acknowledges, “Talagang mahal mo si Sergio.” (You truly love Sergio.)
Sergio convinces Rodolfo to give it up telling him that the police are on their way. Rodolfo know’s his hired gunman will finish off Bella and Sergio as per their contract. He uses his gun to shoot at the thug instead, in his own way, saving the lovers from certain death.
Marimar and Sergio continue to convince Rodolfo to surrender. He turns to leave but thug number 1 is like a cat with nine lives, he uses the last of his breath and bullets to pump all into Rodolfo’s back. San Jines falls, a heartbroken multi-millionaire.
Marimar and Sergio continue to hold one another, thankful to be alive despite their bullet wounds. From a distance, sirens and police cars can be heard coming.

Marimar Episode 86
Marimar Episode 86 – The one where Marimar Finds Innocencia & Sergio Kissing
Aired in the UAE on 17th December 2007, Monday.
Sergio is sleeping on the sofa, too drunk to go upstairs in his room. Innocencia arrives and calls him. The door is open so she lets herself in. There are tall glass panels that serve as windows showing the outside what is in.
Fulgoso is concerned for his friend’s state and laments, “Dios mio, kelan ba magiging masaya itong si Marimar? Lagi na lang malungkot.” (Until when will all this sadness be in your life?)
Fifi replies, “Kasi naman ayaw pang aminin na mahal niya si Sergio.” (Well why doesn’t she just go and admit that she still loves Sergio?)
Fulgoso reasons, “Kasi mahirap aminin.” (It’s not that easy.)
Marimar is driving as she calls Arturo on the cell phone to ask him a question.
Innocencia goes to the sleeping Sergio and holds his hand; lovingly putting it in hers as she talks to the man she loves. “Bakit pinagpipilitan pa ang sarili mo kay Marimar? Ilang beses ka na niyang pinagtabuyan pero nandiyan ka pa rin. Kelan mo ba siya makakalimutan?” (Why do you keep insisting for Marimar to love you when she has so many times sent you away, still you remain. When will you forget her?)
Dra. Ria tells Renato to rest as his therapy starts tomorrow. Renato asks her to stay a while and talk, he asks her about her life. “Boring ang buhay ko,” (my life is boring) was all she can say. Renato jokes that if she tells him about it, it will help put him to sleep if it really is that boring. Ria shares a smile with her patient. Renato asks her about her parents, whether she has any siblings...Ria relates that both her parents live in the States and that she is an only child. “Yun na yon,” (that’s that) she declares without further elaborating on any more details. Renato agrees, “Boring nga” (boring indeed). Both doctor and patient share another smile. Uuuy mukhang nagkaka-igihan na tong dalawang ito! Sabagay mabait si Ria unlike Angelika who was such a user. Sige na nga! Although I’m still hoping Renato meets Tia Esperanza and something happens there...parang bagay kasi sila. They’d complement one another well.
Angelika urges her friend Monica to drink with her. Monica cautions her to keep the noise down as Diego is already asleep. Angelika raises her voice all the more, forcing Monica to drink with her as she declares, “Damayan mo ako sa problema ko.” (Come join me in my sorrows.)
Innocencia tells Sergio that she loves him. “Tutuluungan kitang makalimutan si Marimar. Hindi kita iiwan. Mahal na mahal kita Sergio.” (I will help you forget Marimar. I will never leave you, I love you so much Sergio) I feel for Innocencia. She is a good person and her only mistake was falling for the same guy as Angelika and Marimar. Swerte ni Sergio no! Daming pretty girls all out for him!
Angelika looks at the bright side, “Kahit nanalo na si Marimar, talunan pa rin siya.” (Even if Marimar won, she is still a loser.)
Monica, being rather slow on the uptake, questions her friend’s statement. “How can you say that? Ganda-ganda na ng buhay ni Marimar.” (Marimar has such a great life now)
Angelika agrees, “Oo mayaman siya, maganda, famous, pero talunan pa rin siya. Hindi siya masaya dahil wala sa kanya si Sergio.” (Yes she may be rich, beautiful and famous but she is still a loser because she doesn’t have Sergio.) Itong isang to kung magsalita, kala mo nasa kanya si Sergio! Eh sa kanya lalong wala na talaga si Sergio...di ba nya naisip yon?
Innocencia couldn’t help herself. She hesitates at first but the moment gets the better of her as she leans in to kiss Sergio. He grabs her dreaming that he is instead kissing the woman he loves, as he calls out her name, “Marimar...”
Innocencia pauses, “Marimar?”
Sergio talks in his sleep, “Sabi ko na ba ako pipiliin mo. Ako mahal mo di ba? Napakalungkot ko kung wala ka. Sabihin mo mahal mo ako di ba?” (I knew it, you’d pick me because you love me, right? I’d be so sad without you. Tell me you love me, you do love me right?)
Angelika considers it her triumph, separating Marimar and Sergio as she makes a toast with Monica, “Sana habang buhay silang miserable!” (I wish them a lifetime of misery!)
Innocencia forces herself to believe Sergio is talking to her. She replies, “Sergio, mahal na mahal kita.” Sergio still dreaming grabs her and kisses her thinking she is Marimar. Innocencia gives in to her feelings and pretends Sergio means this kiss to be for her and not Marimar.
Dr. Ria and Renato had a nice time chatting she hardly noticed the time. She exclaims, “Nine na pala, kailangan ko nang umalis.” (It’s 9pm, I need to go) Renato protests but she assures him, “Babalik ako bukas.” (I’ll return tomorrow) Eager, he asks “Anong oras?” (Which time?) She smiles at him as she replies, “tanghali.” (Noon.) He protests, “Tagal naman!” (That long) and adds, “Sana bukas pag-gising ko, nandito ka na.” (I wish tomorrow when I wake up, you’re already here.) There is a tenderness in the wish that gives the pretty doctor an awkward moment which she quickly brushes aside by her own protestations, “Napaka-demanding mo naman!” (You’re so demanding!) She adds that he is not the only patient she is seeing in the hospital. Though to us viewers it appears to be so. hehehehe.
Renato pursues, “Saan ka pupunta?” (Where are you going?) Ria offers a vague answer, “May ime-meet lang.” (Just meeting someone.) Renato is curious, “Boyfriend?” She denies it, “wala.” He asks the dreaded question, “Asawa?” (Husband) She gives him hope with her answer, “Wala.” (No)
Corazon and another household help talk about Marimar’s earlier walkout drama in the church. It must be the hottest gossip in the Aldama household with Corazon probably the best source being the closest to Marimar.
Meantime, she is at the gate of Sergio’s house. She hesitates as she mulls over the next step, “Ewan ko kung tama itong gagawin ko, bahala na...pero handa na akong sabihin sa iyo ang totoo.” (I don’t know if what I’m doing is the right thing but I’m ready to tell you how I truly feel.) She takes a big breath as she steels herself for what she is about to do.
Corazon enjoys being the source of all the hottest goss as she shares the latest bit of information with her colleague, “Punta siya kay Sir Sergio, mag-talks. Sana magkabalikan na sila.” (She went to see Sergio and have a heart-to-heart talk. I hope they get back together.) She’s been the staunchest supporter of the Sergio-Marimar love affair ever since the two got together and is clearly excited about the two getting back together.
Marimar walks up Sergio’s flat and through the glass panel, she sees Innocencia and Sergio wrapped in each other’s arms and kissing passionately. She takes a step back in her shock. A moment longer, she sighs in resignation and leaves; saddened by what she just witnessed.
On the other side of the glass, Innocencia smiles in bliss, happy to kiss and embrace the man she truly loves.
In the car, Marimar drives like a raging lunatic cursing Sergio and her love for him. “Hayop ka Sergio, hayop ka!” (damn you Sergio!) She cries, blaming herself for being too soft, “Ang tanga-tanga ko!” (How could I be so stupid?) She suffers from her love for this one man who continues to hurt her the most, “Hanggang kailan mo ako papa-iyakin?” (Until when are you going to make me cry?) She cries in jealous rage as she questions, “Hanggang kailan?”
Marimar arrives home with slumped shoulders. Fulgoso exclaims, “Dios mio Marimar, ang bilis mong nakauwi! Nagkabalikan na ba kayo ni Sergio?” (back so soon, so did you make up with Sergio?) Of course, Marimar doesn’t hear him like we do so Corazon asks a similar question but she notices that Marimar doesn’t look well.
Marimar cries, “Di na lang sana ako nagpunta doon.” (I wish I didn’t go there.) Corazon wants her to explain her current state, “Ano ba ang nangyari?” (What happened?) But Marimar is still caught up in self-pity, “Di ko na lang sana hinayaan ang sarili kong umasa sa wala.” (I wish I’d stop myself from hoping.)
Corazon shakes her out of her misery wanting Marimar to tell her exactly what happened. “Di ko makaintindi, ‘Day!” (I don’t understand) Fulgoso seconds the motion, “Me too! You what’s going on?”
Between sobs, Marimar relates, “Nakita ko si Sergio at si Innocencia, naghahalikan sila. Kaya pala ako trinaydor ni Innocencia, may relasyon silang dalawa ni Sergio. Noong una, si Angelika; tapos ngayon naman si Innocencia.” (I saw Sergio and Innocencia kissing. No wonder Innocencia betrayed me, she and Sergio are having an affair. First it was Angelika, now it’s Innocencia.)
Corazon tries to calm her down, giving a different point of view, “Teka, sure ba ka Inday? Baka yung nakita nimo na parang naghahalikan baka nag-uusap lang.” (Are you truly sure? Maybe they are just talking and it appears like they were kissing.) Oo nga naman, remember Marimar your pictures with Choi which Angelika used to anger Sergio? Give him the benefit nga naman of the doubt.
But Marimar defends what she saw, “Hindi ako bulag!” (I’m not blind!)
Corazon refuses to believe it knowing well how Sergio loves Marimar, “Hindi magagawa ni Sir Sergio yon. Mahal na mahal ko niya. May lihim na pagtingin kay Sir Sergio si Innocencia.” (Sergio won’t do something like that. It’s Innocencia who has secret feelings for Sergio.) Well Corazon, it’s no longer a lihim at bonggang-bonggang bunyang na with what she has done!
Marimar doesn’t want to hear anymore explanations, “Tama na! Lagi mo na lang pinagtatanggol ang lalaking yan! Wala shang kwentang tao. Hindi siya dapat iyakan at hindi sya dapat mahalin!” (Enough, you are always defending him! I shouldn’t even be crying over a useless man like him and he doesn’t deserve to be loved!)
The next day at the Santibanez Motors office, Arturo and Innocencia are talking. Arturo is babbling on about a crush but Innocencia is not interested. She is quite distracted about something but Arturo doesn’t know what is bothering her. She asks Arturo if Sergio is OK. She explains to the gay driver that when she found him last night, Sergio was already asleep. Sergio joins their conversation, overhearing Innocencia’s comment, “Galing ka sa bahay?” (You went to my home?)
Marimar asks Atty. Romualdez to represent the company on her behalf. She asks about plane tickets and the lawyer replies that she got them booked as Marimar requested. Rodolfo arrives and hearing about booked tickets and he asks his ex-fiancée, “Going away somewhere?”
Arturo leaves the two as Innocencia asks Sergio, “Wala ka bang natatandaan?” (Don’t you remember anything?) Sergio prods her for more information as everything seems hazy from his end, “Bakit, may nangyari ba kagabi?” (Why, did anything happen last night?) Innocencia is quite disappointed that the man she loves doesn’t even remember what she may consider as the sweetest moment of her life. She lies, “Wala.” (Nothing.)
Marimar plainly tells Rodolfo the facts, “Babalik ako sa America, magpapahinga muna roon.” (I’m going back to America, get some rest.) Rodolfo is sarcastic when he asks, “Tatakasan mo ang mga usap-usapan about us?” (You’re escaping from all this gossip about us?) Marimar realises she hasn’t properly asked forgiveness from Rodolfo for what she’s done to him. She quickly apologises, “Sorry, malaki ang kasalanan ko sa iyo.” (I’m sorry. I know I did something really bad and I know I owe you a huge apology.) Ehem excuse me Rodolfo, there is no “us”! Hindi naman naging kayo ni Marimar ah!
Sergio, Antonio and Innocencia are in a discussion. Antonio is making a report but Sergio is distracted, his mind clearly on something else.
Rodolfo is bitter, “Iniwanan mo ako sa simbahan. Galit na galit ako sa iyo. Nakita ko yung mga tingin sa akin ng mga tao. Awang-awa sila sa akin. Gusto kitang awayin! Pero na-realise ko rin na di lang naman ikaw ang may kasalanan, ako din. Sa umpisa pa lang, alam kong hindi mo ako mahal pero pinilit ko pa rin.” (You left me at the altar. I was so mad at you. I saw how the people were looking at me, feeling sorry for me. I wanted to get back at you but I realised you’re not the only person to blame here. Since the beginning I knew you didn’t love me but still I persisted.)
He sighs, but continues to talk, hoping perhaps to get closure over what happened. “Sayang, I do believe we’re a good match pero huwag kang mag-alala. Hindi ko na pagpipilitan ang sarili ko sa iyo. Tanggap ko na na hindi tayo para sa isa’t isa.” (A pity, but I won’t force myself on you anymore. I’ve come to accept the fact that we are not meant for each other.) Wow Rodolfo is coming out to be the bigger person here and quite the gentleman! O baka naman palabas nya lang ito para makapag-higanti kay Marimar ng bonggang-bongga ha? Ika nga, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Ano nga kaya?
Marimar appears truly relieved that they have put things aside and she offers, “Rodolfo, pwede naman tayong magkaibigan di ba?” (We could still be friends.) He smiles, the old, suave Rodolfo is back, “I don’t see why not.” They hug but what Marimar doesn’t see is how sad Rodolfo looks.
Arturo approaches Sergio, “Bossing.” Sergio shushes him to keep quiet as he is still nursing a bad hangover, “Sakit ulo ko!” Arturo talks softly, “Di natuloy ang kasal ni Marimar at Rodolfo” and shows Sergio the newspaper. (Marimar and Rodolfo’s wedding got cancelled.)
Sergio calls Corazon, telling his old yaya that he wants to talk to Marimar. Corazon blurts out that she is busy with preparations as she is leaving for the US.
Marimar walks with Rodolfo in the Aldama building’s lobby. Rodolfo asks, “Kelan ang alis nyo?” (When are you leaving?) Marimar informs him, “sa Miyerkules.” (This Wednesday.) He notes, “Nagmamadali ka ah.” (Why the rush?)
Just then, Sergio arrives and on his heels Marimar’s security detail alert at the possibility of a confrontation. Rodolfo acknowledges him, “Santibanez” but Sergio goes straight to the point, telling Marimar that they need to talk. He warns Rodolfo from interfering, “Huwag kang makialam, usapang pamilya ito. Aalis kayo?” (Don’t interfere this is between family, you’re leaving?) Anger is etched in Sergio’s question.
Marimar snaps, “wala kang karapatan sa amin!”(You have no right over me!) The memory of Sergio and Innocencia still fresh in her mind.
Sergio agrees that over her, he has no power but he has rights over Cruzita reminding Marimar that he is the father. But Marimar tells him with finality, “Hindi mo na siya makikita.” (You’ll never see her again.)
Sergio tries to struggle against the men who now grabbed his arms, “Alam ko ako lang mahal mo, akin ka lang!” (I know, you love me. You’re mine!) Marimar tells her men, “Paalisin nyo siya.” (Take him away.) They pull Sergio away from Marimar and Rodolfo.
Angelika meets a new man – she appraises him thinking to herself that she could find some use for him as she seeks her vengeance from her most hated enemy, Marimar.
Aired in the UAE on 17th December 2007, Monday.

Angelika meets a new man – she appraises him thinking to herself that she could find some use for him as she seeks her vengeance from her most hated enemy, Marimar.

Marimar Episode 82 - The one where Marimar rescues Sergio
Marimar Episode 82 - The one where Marimar rescues Sergio
Aired in the UAE on 11th December 2007
In the crash site, Sergio awakens. He is badly hurt with lots of wounds. He tries to get up. He stands but has a huge cut on his stomach. His clothes are tattered and burnt in many places. He walks away from the burning debris of the plane.
Arturo is praying. He prmosies “Pag nalaman kong safe siya, magbabagong buhay na ako. Di na magpapaka-bading,” he’d turn a new leaf and go straight but takes it back in the end saying, “Etching lang yon!” (Just kidding).
Antonio sends a more serious and sincere prayer for his friend as do Innocencia who adds to herself, “Huwag nyo po sanang pababayaan si Sergio - Ang lalaking pinakamamahal ko.”
Marimar continues to worry that they haven’t found Sergio yet. She fears that he may be badly wounded and may die from his wounds.
Innocencia who is keeping vigil with Arturo and Antonio in the Santibanez Motors office answers a phone call from the rescue team who are informing them that they will be resuming the operations tomorrow. Innocencia got livid with anger screaming that they must do the search today and continue doing so until Sergio has been found.
Corazon asks Marimar for any updates on the search for Sergio. Marimar cries and tells the nanny that she doesn’t want her daughter, Cruzita to know about her father yet. Corazon feels for her ward and comments, “Maaga maulila sa ama.” (She’ll miss her father, losing him this early).
Marimar gets upset at Corazon’s words and insists that Sergio is still alive. “Alam ko, buhay si Sergio!” Just then Cruzita comes asking whether her father has called yet. She reminds Corazon that when Sergio calls and she is asleep, to wake her so that she can talk to her father. Corazon and Marimar exchanged worried glances but try to appear calm for Cruzita’s sake.
The man representing the rescue team who is talking to Innocencia at the other end of the line advises her, “Ihanda ninyo ang mga sarili, may chance na patay na siya.” (Prepare yourselves; there’s a likely chance that he may be dead.)
Innocencia breaks down in tears and Arturo and Antonio console her. Innocencia retorts, “Ano ka, Diyos para magsabi kung patay o buhay pa ang isang tao? Hanapin nyo si Sergio. Parang awa nyo na, hanapin nyo si Sergio.” (What are you? God that you can dictate whether a person is dead or not? Find Sergio. Please find him!)
Bella is in a meeting with Rodolfo and some of their partners but Bella’s mind is somewhere else. Rodolfo is talking and asks for her opinion but she is clearly distracted and couldn’t answer him.
Angelika complains about the food at the dinner table. Monica keeps silent but Diego couldn’t stand her arrogance as he comments, “Kung gusto mo ng masarap na ulam, bumili ka! Pero paano mo magagawa yan eh wala ka nang pera?” (If you want to eat something you prefer, then go ahead and buy it! But how can you do that now that you no longer have any money?)
Angelika is shocked at his affront and snaps, “Bodyguard lang kita.” (You are only my bodyguard.)
Diego retorts, “Dati yon.” (That was before.) He tells his wife who chose to remain silent, “Pabigat lang siya dito.” (She’s but dead weight around here.)
After their meeting, Rodolfo confronts Bella about not concentrating on their meeting. The ambitious young man adds that he hope the distraction is about their forthcoming wedding. He does have another meeting to run to and so leaves Bella alone with her worries but before that, Bella assures him that their wedding is going to push through as planned.
Monica apologises to Angelika about Diego’s behaviour. Angelika swears to find a job and when she does get by some money she’s going to slap them on Diego’s face. “Isasampal ko sa mukha niya!”
Rodrigo, Marimar’s bodyguard and head of the team presents her with the best rescue team in the country. They are trained in the United States and are based in Zubic (where the US Naval Base used to be). Bella talks to them and assures them that money is not a problem. She adds that should they find and rescue the person, they would also receive a generous bonus. She takes steps to assure that Sergio does get found and rescued.
Sergio is weakened by his many injuries and from the loss of too much blood. He falls down and crawls instead. Unable to go on, he lies on his back on the ground.
Angelika goes back to selling herself to get some cash. She is with a customer but unluckily, he gets caught by his wife who attacks Angelika. In the struggle, she loses her eye patch and the couple cringed at seeing how ugly she is without the patch. They leave her fallen on the ground. She gets up and walks away, conscious of the people who can see how ugly she is.
Renato wants to be released from the hospital but Dra. Ria convinces him to stay awhile. She says that he needs to undergo more tests. The senior Santibanez feels regret stating, “Siguro pinagbabayaran ko ang mga kasalanan ko. Kasalanan ko sa asawa ko at sa nag-iisa kong anak.” (Perhaps I’m paying for the bad deeds I’ve done in the past. Paying for the mistakes I’ve made to my wife and my only son.)
Marimar paces in her home, unable to feel settled until Sergio is found. In her mind she hopes he is safe. “Nasaan ka man ngayon, sana ligtas ka.”
In the forest, Sergio is about to give up. He is in too much pain and suffering and just wants it all to end. “Diyos ko, kung gusto nyo akong junin, tatanggapin kong maluwag sa puso ko ang kamatayan ko. Isa lang po ang hiling ko, kung nasaan man si Marimar ngayon, ihatid nyo sa kanya ang pagmamahal ko.” (God, if you deem it time for my life to end, I accept it wholeheartedly. I ask just one thing: wherever Marimar is right now, send her my love.)
Marimar continues to fret and promises to hold off her plans for revenge agains the man who hurt her the most, the same man she loves more than anyone, the man she hopes is safe and alive. “Pangako, di na ako maghihiganti. Tatanggalin ko na ang poot sa puso ko, iligtas nyo lang po si Sergio.”
Sergio is dying as Marimar, across the seas, cries. Flashback to some of their times spent together, a celebration of the love and life they’ve shared. Sergio leaves them, Marimar and Cruzita, to God. “Kayo na po ang bahala kay Marimar at Cruzita.” He closes his eyes. Rest embraces him along with cold and darkness.
Cruzita asks her mother why her dad has not called her yet. “I miss him.” Declares the child who is starting to feel that something must be wrong. Marimar brushes off her fears assuring her that her father would call her soon, telling Cruzita that Sergio is just busy with his work.
Angelika arrives at Monica and Diego’s home without shoes and with many scratches from the wife who attacked her. Monica looked concerned while Diego appeared annoyed.
Renato asks the pretty doctor why he can recall some things clearly and others, not at all. He gets flashes of some memories but they remain unclear to him. He doesn’t understand many of his recollections. Dr. Ria assures him that this is normal. He suffered through a trauma and in time his memories will all come back.
Angelika cries in front of the couple. She laments that her beauty is gone when it had been one of her assets. “Dati lahat ng babae kina-iingitan ako. Lahat ng lalaki, pinagnanasahan ako.” Women envied her and men wanted her back then.
Monica cries, feeling for her friend’s loss. Diego retorts it is but karma for all the bad things she has done and leaves the two women to cry on each other’s shoulders.
Angelika sees her friend crying and asks, “Monica, naaawa ka ba sa akin?” (Do you feel sorry for me?)
Monica, honest as usual answers, “Nanghihinayang ako doon sa sapatos. Paborito ko kasi yon, pero tama na.” (I feel sad that you lost my shoe, it was one of my favorites but enough.) She calms Angelika down, telling her friend that it’s time to stop crying.
Dra. Ria asks Renato about his earlier statement. “Kanina nabanggit mo na meron kang kasalanan na dapat mong pagbayaran?” (Earlier you mentioned that you are only paying for the evil deeds you’ve done?)
Renato explains, “Masamang tao ako. Di ako naging mabuting asawa at ama. May isang anak ako. Di ko minahal.” (I was a bad person. I haven’t been a good husband and father. I have a son whom I didn’t love.)
The doctor gives him hope. “May pagkakataon pa para baguhin ang sarili.” (There is time to change one’s self.)
Renato turns his back on the kindly doctor as he lets the tears of regret roll down. Dra. Ria looks on her patient with worry.
Marimar, in safari fashion, joins the rescue team as they search for Sergio in the forest. (Nice song by Gerald Santos!) She calls out Sergio’s name. Somewhere in the area, Sergio dies. His face turns white as his soul leaves his body. (My five year old daughter commented that Sergio looked like a gorilla when he turned pale!)
A light comes from a short distance and Sergio’s soul, now in while t-shirt (he was wearing a blue polo shirt) and jeans (sana white pants na rin!), walks over to the light. He smiles as he finds eternal rest.
Marimar walks towards the body, calling for Sergio and turns around and finds something, she runs towards it as she realises it’s Sergio. She drops her hat and kneels down beside Sergio’s body. She listens for his heartbeat as she calls for the rest of the team to come to where she is. She has found Sergio! She removes her jacket to cover his body. (Mind you all done in slow-motion....with the song still on.)
Sergio’s soul looks back from the light to see Marimar beside his mortal remaims. He smiles, happy to see his love and goes back towards his body where she is now crouched. He sits beside the woman he loves, watching her as she covers him with her jacket. He feels her need of him, and of his own need, to be with her, overpowering death. His soul returns to his body.
Sergio inhales and opens his eyes to find Marimar. He closes them again as the rest of the team come to their aid. They give the survivor first aid and put him in a stretcher bound for the best hospitals in Manila.
Marimar rescued the man she loves. Sergio lives.

Marimar Episode 81
Marimar Episode 81 - The one where Sergio's plane crashes
Aired in the UAE on Monday, 10th December 2007
Aired in the UAE on Monday, 10th December 2007
Marimar and Rodrigo are meeting again with the wedding organizer. All seems set including the flowers which are being flown in from Holland. The wedding planner asks Bella whether she'd like to have some fittings for her wedding gown. Bella declines telling the planner that the couturiers already know her measurements, "No, alam na ng couturier yan."
Rodolfo although a bit disappointed supports her as he reasons, "Besides it's bad luck for a bride to be fitting her gown before the wedding, right?" (There is some tradition that you do not fit your wedding gown and you get double bad luck if while you are fitting, the groom happens to see you in it. In the Philippines, this can be doomed that the wedding will not push through.)
Marimar wants to get back to her work and finish it but Rodolfo tells her to wait a while as they have to iron out some details regarding their forthcoming wedding.
Sergio tells his friends, Arturo and Antonio that he has decided to supervise the opening of their branch in Cebu. He originally intended for Antonio to go there and head this project but having thought things over, he has decided to do it himself.
Cruzita and Corazon are together at home and the little girl tells her nanny that she wants to go to the park. Rodrigo arrives and tries to win over Cruzita's affections by giving her a toy doll, "Di ba you like dolls?"
But Cruzita doesn't like him at all, being loyal to her biological father, Sergio. She tells Rodrigo politely, "My mom told me never to accept gifts from strangers."
Marimar sees this exchange as Rodolfo tells the child he is not a stranger but an uncle of sorts. Marimar tries to explain to her daughter her relationship with Rodolfo but the child doesn't give them the chance. She asks Corazon to take her to her room, boycotting whatever it is the adults are planning.
Marimar looks worried but Rodolfo quickly assures her that she has no need to worry. Cruzita will eventually learn to accept him as her step-father.
Sergio admits to his friends that his relationship with Marimar is going nowhere. "Malabo na kami ni Marimar. Mas mahihirapan lang ako kung malapit kami sa isa't isa. Papakalayo na muna ako." He tells them this is the best way for them to both have a bit of space. If he and Marimar could no longer patch things up, it is best that they just stay apart for a while. He's also be able to start anew, in a way and maybe perhaps heal his broken heart.
Arturo asks him is he is truly sure of his decision. Sergio admits he isn't but he adds that this seems to be the only way for them to have a bit of peace.
Cruzita is doodling and drawing and Marimar comes to her asking what it is she is drawing. Cruzita describes a family with a father, mother and a child. She adds, "They're happy kasi kumpleto sila." She turns sad, realising she is not with her father and that her small family is not complete. Marimar reminds her daughter that with her Tito Rodolfo, they have a chance to be complete so she must give him a chance. But Cruzita is as stubborn as her parents. She simply states, "I don't like him."
Marimar asks her, "Don't you want a daddy?" Referring to her daughter's picture. Cruzita is still firm, "May daddy na ako." (I already have a daddy.)
Sergio's flight has been booked according to one of his secretary and she bids his friends goodbye. Arturo wants to go with him but Sergio reminds him that their Manila operations is much bigger and so Antonio would need Arturo here. They ask him when he plans to return and his reply is an indefinite, "Pag OK na ako." (When I'm fine.) Arturo smiles reminding Sergio to contact them as often as he can through text messages so they are kept updated about him.
Marimar talks to Cruzita about Sergio. "Anak, kalimutan mo na ang daddy mo." (Forget about your dad.)
"I love him. Kay daddy ka na lang pakasal." (Why don't you marry daddy instead?)
Marimar hugs her daughter and looks at her carefully but with a sorrow that only her mind speaks, "Kelan man, di magiging parte ng buhay mo ang daddy mo." (You father will never be part of your life.)
(Marimar is daft. Couldn't she see what she is doing is not only hurting her but her daughter as well? Why can't she just admit that she still loves Sergio? Grrr...these telenovelas...)
Just as they are saying goodbye and exchanging last-minute instructions and well wishes at Santibanez Motors, Innocencia arrives. They are surprised to see her after Marimar caught her and Sergio in the park with Cruzita but the young woman reasons she works there and looks at Sergio, confirming with the boss if she still has her job.
Sergio is quick to accept her back into the fold telling her she'd be needed to support Antonio take care of the business.
"Aalis ka?" Innocencia is shocked. She cries and hugs Sergio who is surprised at her reaction. The two men exchange knowing glances with Antonio now certain that Innocencia is truly in love with Sergio. Arturo finds the whole situation a bit awkward but keeps silent.
Arturo arrives at Marimar's home (Bakit nga ba mala-picket fences lang home ni Marimar when she is supposed to be some rich billionairess? Thanks to Arthur for pointing this out too.) He has a letter for Marimar from Sergio. Corazon lets him in the white, wooden gate. Marimar meets him and he hands her Sergio's letter.
She opens the letter and Sergi's voice over commences.
"Mahal kong Marimar. Pagbasa mo ng sulat na ito, nakaalis na ako. Hindi ko ito gusto. Labag ito sa puso ko. Ayaw kong malayo sa anak ko, lalo na sa iyo. Isipin ko pa lang na di ko kayo makikita, parang mamamatay na ako. Mahal na mahal ko kayo. Mahal na mahal kita. Ikaw ang buhay ko. "
Marimar couldn't stop the tears from falling. In an airfield somewhere, Sergio too is crying. She continues to read the letter:
"Pakisabi kay Cruzita na mahal na mahal ko siya. Mag-ingat kayo pareho."
Dra. Ria checks on Renato. He moves and she is encouraged to talk to him. "Naririnig mo ba ako? Kung oo, pisilin mo ang kamay ko." (Can you hear me? If yes, squeeze my hand.) Renato closes his hand a bit showing the doctor that she understood her.
Corazon asks Marimar what Sergio's letter said. She tells the nanny that Sergio is leaving. Corazon couldn't believe it. She looks at Marimar and can see that she had been crying while reading the letter. She asks her, "Anong feelings mo?"
Marimar lies, hiding her sorrow unsuccessfully, "Shempre masaya, hindi na niya kami guguluhin ni Cruzita." (Of course I'm happy. He won't bother me and Cruzita anymore.)
Corazon doesn't buy her false happiness and asks, "Talaga bang wala nang pag-ibig? Kahit gamay lang?" (Don't you have any more feelings for him? Not even a bit?)
"Di naman ako pakakasal kay Rodolfo kung may nararamdaman pa ako kay Sergio." Marimar tells Corazon she wouldn't marry Rodolfo is she still had feelings for Sergio.
Corazon tries to make her realise she is just going to be hurting herself and her daughter in her decision to wed Rodolfo. "Paano si Cruzita? Ayaw niya kay Rodolfo." Cruzita especially doesn't like Rodolfo that much.
Marimar reasons, "Bata pa si Cruzita." He daughter is still young. In time perhaps and Marimar hopes too that her views about Rodolfo would change.
Dra Ria urges Renato to awaken and open his eyes. He does and see the pretty face of the kindly doctor who found him and nursed him devotedly until this day. He asks, "Sino ka? Asan ako?" (Who are you? Where am I?)
"Ako si Dr. Concepcion. Nandito ka sa ospital." Dra. Ria introduces herself and tells Renato that he's in a hospital.
"Baki ako nandito? Anong nangyari sa akin?" (Why and I here? What happened t me?) He doesn't seem to recall what brought him to the hospital.
The doctor tells him that he's been in hospital for about a month now and had been comatose since then. "Thank God nagising ka na rin." Dr. Concepcion is relieved that Renato has finally awakened. However, it seems that Renato is suffering from amnesia.
Sergio is on an airstrip, looking at a small plane. Marimar calls him on the phone but doesn't talk instead she hands the phone to Cruzita.
"Sabi ni mommy aalis ka daw?" (Mommy says you're leaving?) Cruzita doesn't yet realise that her father will be living farther from her and her mother.
Sergio is happy to hear Cruzita as he explains it is about a job that he'll be away for a while. Cruzita wants to come with him but he tells her, "Kawawa naman ang mommy mo, walang kasama." So Cruzita decides to stay to keep Marimar company but asks Sergio "Please daddy balik ka agad. I will really miss you."
Although she doesn't say anything, Marimar is trying hard to hide the tears that continue to flow. She is saddened by being apart from Sergio too. She doesn't really admit it but she feels it deep down.
Backin the hospital Renato is able to recall his first name. He is having trouble remembering his surname but gets a shock as he recalls he is married and has a family. "May asawa ako, may anak - si Sergio."
Sergio takes off on a small plane. The horizon seems foggy and the pilot looks worried. The planeride gets bumpy and Sergio too starts to look alarmed.
Renato continues to talk to Dra. Concepcion. He shares that he wants to see Sergio. Having no one come to the hospital to look for him, the young doctor assures her that she is there for him. "Ako mag-aalaga sa iyo." She promises to take care of him until he is back on his feet.
"Mayday, mayday" The pilot sends a distress signal that their plane is in trouble. He tells Sergio to put on his life jacket. Sergio obeys and braces himself as the ride gets bumpier. (Bakit sinuot nya yung pang-tubig eh di ba dapat parachute kasi nasa bandang gubat sila?)
Despite the pilot's valiant effort, the plane crashes down a thick forest and explodes.
Arturo and Antonio are both worried about Sergio as he has not contacted them yet. Arturo wonders aloud, "Nasa Cebu na kaya si bossing?" Innocencia too cannot help but get worried. It's only a few hours to Cebu from Manila. They should have gotten a call from Sergio now. Just then, the office phone rings and Antonio answers it.
"What?!" Antonio doesn't believe what he is hearing as an airline representative advise them about Sergio's accident. His plane crashed.
Corazon is watching some news on the television and a newsbreak interrupts the normal programming. A reporter informs the public, "Sa isang gubat sa Mindoro, isang chartered plane, flight 112 ay nag-crash lulan si Captain Miguel Alonzo at Mr. Sergio Santibanez, isang tanyag na karerista."
Corazon is shocked at the new and runs to Marimar's room to tell her what she heard. (Panay ata pagsuot ng yellow ni Marimar ah. Anyway, bagay naman sa kulay niya.)
Innocencia, Arturo and Antonio ask the rescuers about Sergio, whether he has been found yet. Rescuers reasoned, "Nahirapan po kami sa crash site. Liblib po ang lugar. Natagpuan na ang katawan ni Capt. Alonzo pero hindi pa natatagpuan si Mr. Santibanez." (They had a hard time at the crash site as it was very secluded. They've found the remains of the pilot but not Sergio.)
Marimar cannot keep still. She is obviously pretty worried and calls Corazon to ask if there is any update on Sergio's rescue.
Corazon tells her that rescue teams have been sent but still haven't found him. They are not sure if Sergio is still alive.
Marimar wants to believe that Sergio is still alive. "Buhay pa si Sergio. Hindi siya pwedeng mamatay." Marimar's voice is filled with panic. She wants to be able to do something. She adds, "Maloloka ako kakaisip kung buhay pa o hindi si Sergio." (I'd go mad thinking whether he is still alive or not.) She asks Corazon to get her phone.
Marimar calls Rowena and instructs her to find out everything about the plane crash, flight 112.
In the forest, there are bits and pieces of the plane and fire everywhere. Sergio lies bloodied and unconscious. Slowly he opens his eyes.
Marimar Episode 80
Marimar Episode 80 - The one where Innocencia and Marimar part ways (Nag-EB kami!!!)
Aired in the UAE on Friday, 7th December 2007
Like I posted in my other blog, Maryannisms, I missed this episode as we (my family) went to Abu Dhabi to watch Eat Bulaga live. I had with me my 4-year old daughter, husband, brother, brother-in-laws, sister-in-law, and my daughter's nanny. But from what I've seen on the Marimar Episode 81, here's a short recap of this particular episode. Apologies that I have missed it. Hope this will suffice.
Marimar fought with Sergio and Innocencia as she told both how upset she is that they have decided to go against her wishes and include Cruzita in the mess she is still trying to iron out with Sergio. Innocencia most of all, whom she trusted most of all.
In consultation with his friends Sergio gets advise from Antonio telling his friend not to force the issue as this is another nail in Sergio and Marimar's relationship-coffin.
Meantime, Angelika still vows to seek vengeance on what Marimar did to her, as she feels sorry for having lost her good looks as well as her eyesight.
Dra. Ria is still devoted to his patient and is not giving up on Renato.
Feeling betrayed, Marimar chooses to part ways with Innocencia and Nanay Leonor. Despite her initial good intentions, Innocencia and her mother decide to return to their old home. Before leaving, Innocencia asks for Marimar's forgiveness and understanding. She adds that she will continue to hope that one day, she and Marimar would be able to patch things up and become friends again.
I will post in my othe blog (Maryannisms) what happened to our Eat Bulaga adventure so visit that site too!

Marimar Episode 79
Marimar Episode 79 – The one where Marimar finds out about Innocencia and Cruzita secretly meeting Sergio
Aired in the UAE on Thursday, 6th December 2007
In the scuffle that follows, Marimar is able to push Angelika who was still wielding the dangerous fork about, intending to physically harm (read that: Kill!) Marimar. She falls to the ground, and the pointed kitchen equipment hit her. She screams as she felt the injury.
Antonio gathered enough courage to ask Innocencia for lunch but the loyal secretary declares that she is waiting for Sergio. Antonio is curious as he asks her, whether Sergio ordered Innocencia to stag and wait for him or not. The young woman didn’t want to admit it at first but then divulged that her mother cooked some pasta which is Sergio’s favorite and so she brought some for him.
Antonio comments how a good secretary she is which is why Arturo is suspecting there is more to it that just being a secretary. Antonio tells Innocencia that Arturo suspects her of falling for Sergio with all she’s been doing for their boss.
This doesn’t sound well on Innocencia’s ears prompting her to give the young man a huge frown as she walks out of the office.
In the hospital, nurses are gossiping how the pretty doctor is showing much concern for her comatose patient. One adds that Dra. Ria once had a boyfriend who died in a coma which explains why she is so concerned for their John Doe.
Antonio however doesn’t let up and confronts Innocencia. He tells the young woman that it is clear that Sergio loves only Marimar and if Innocencia continues with her feelings for Sergio, she will only get hurt in the end. "Masasaktan ka lang."
But Innocencia is also stubborn. She declares, "Wala na sila." They, Sergio and Marimar are through.
Antonio tries to make her see reason, that Sergio would be unable to return the same feelings for her as he only has Marimar in his heart.
Innocencia, hurt, changes the subject. "Kung magla-lunch ka, mag-lunch ka mag-isa mo!" Telling Anotnio to go have lunch alone as she walks out on him again.
Angelika screams "Akin ito!" Referring to the villa. Marimar reminds her it is no longer hers. Rodolfo joins in telling Angelika she no longer has any money.
Angelika confronts Marimar, "Sinong demonyo ang dinadasalan mo?" Asks her who is the powerful demon she is worshipping who is giving her so much power. But Marimar tells her enemy she is with God. "Diyos ang kakampi ko!"
Police come to take Angelika away. She would be taken to the hospital first to get her wound tended and then later to prison.
Rodolfo was fairly upset and showed genuine concern for his fiancee.
Angelika makes a scene at the hospital as she continues to lash out at doctors and nurses in her anger. Police restrain her and force her to settle down. She demands, "Hindi nyo ba ako gagamutin?" (Aren’t you even going to attend to my wound?)
The nurse explains that they are just waiting for the doctor. Angelika tries to be sarcastic, "Saan siya galing, sa Baguio?" Noting that it’s been quite some time that she’s been there and no one seems keen on helping her. She declares she doesn’t want to become blind.
Marimar calls the police and they update her about Angelika. After the call, Rodolfo who is listening sees a glint of a smile in her lips as she says, "Padalos-dalos kasi siya, buti na lang. At least now, pwede ko na siya sampahan ng kaso." Marimar is considering suing Angelika.
This prompts Rodolfo to comment how grave Marimar’s anger on Angelika seems to appear.
Dr. Ria arrives and tells Angelika they need to operate on her eye. Angelika still blames everything on Marimar.
Marimar tells Rodolfo that if she told him everything that Angelika did to her, he may say what she’s done is nothing compared to her enemy’s evildoings in the past. Rodolfo tells her enough revenge. They should focus on their wedding and he looks around the resort appreciatively as he suggests that they can hold it here.
Marimar hesitates. "Kailangan bang engrande? Pwede bang simple na lang?" (Does it have to be grand? Couldn’t it be simple?)
But Rodolfo has made up his mind to an elaborate wedding. "Everyone expects na engrande and kasal natin. Isa akong San Gines, isa kang Aldama..." They are influential and powerful families and everyone expects them to have a grand wedding.
Angelika couldn’t believe what the doctor is telling her. Dr. Ria says that her cornea in ther right eye got hit. "Bulag na ang isang mata mo." She wouldn’t be able to see in her right eye. The cornea had been too damaged.
Police come to take her to prison but she pretends she needed to thank the kind doctor first. One of the policemen can see through her telling her this is just one of her delaying tactics. They underestimated her strength though. Angelika was able to push one of the policemen and run away.
Getting a call from the police, Marimar is upset how they let Angelika slip past them. She orders them to do all they can to capture her.
Fulgoso, hearing the escape can only comment, "Ibang klase talaga si Angelika no?"
Rodolfo, hearing from Bella the latest fears for their lives at the resort. He convinces her to return to Manila where it could safer.
Fulgoso offers his services to his mistress. "Gusto mo ba ng guard doggy? Babantayan kita, bente-kwatro oras."
Rodolfo urges her to return to Manila and after some persuading, Marimar gives in and agrees, "Mas mabuti nga siguro." (Perhaps it would be for the best.)
Sergio reads the newspaper and sees an announcement about Marimar and Rodolfo’s wedding. "May petsa na pala ang kasal nin Marimar at San Gines." (So Marimar and San Gines have set a date for their wedding.)
Arturo asks whether it is mentioned somewhere if the identity of the couturier who will be designing Marimar’s gown have been made known.
Sergio scowls, "Pakakasal siya kay Rodolfo eh hindi naman niya mahal iyon!" (She is going to marry Rodolfo when she doesn’t really love him!)
Innocencia is taking Cruzita out to meet Sergio again, prompting the nanny to comment, "Napapadala ang pagtakas mo kay Cruzita. Magagalit si Bella."
The young woman reminds the nanny that, "Di malalaman ni Marimar kung walang magsusumbong." (Marimar won’t find out if no one would tell.) Giving Corazon a harsh look.
Corazon admits that she is not the type who betrays people’s trust easily but if Bella asks, she will definitely tell her mistress the truth. She looks straight at Innocencia daring the young woman to try and accuse her again. (Go Corazon! I love her for being loyal to Sergio then to Marimar and fighting Innocencia who seems to have forgotten it is Marimar who should be her friend here and not take advantage of her absence by stealing Sergio!)
Arturo explains to his boss that Marimar isn’t that shallow to marry off with someone just to hurt Sergio. (Although Sergio did just that to Angelika not so long ago...thus, this telenovela we all watch!) He tells the racer that it could be possible that Bella likes Rodolfo. "Baka naman talagang love din niya si Rodolfo." Sergio admits that in Marimar’s case, he no longer has any say but in Cruzita’s perhaps he has got some hope.
(I can see Arturo telling Sergio to move on for the sake of his friend not getting hurt anymore. But Innocencia is telling Sergio to move on and consider other women, with the intent that Sergio falls for her. See now who is the better friend? Juding man, mabait din but remember when Arturo himself was harboring feelings for Sergio? He had been guilty of keeping Sergio and Marimar apart a few years – oh well episodes really – back!)
Corazon and Innocencia continue to argue and the young woman is defending her side telling the plump nanny that she is sure Cruzita will not tell Marimar about their meetings with Sergio. Corazon is angry that she can allow a child to lie when she should teach Cruzita about being honest. Innocencia, in the midst of their argument almost slips saying "Mahal ko si Ser.....Cruzita!" Making Corazon raise one of her eyebrows to the ceiling.
Innocencia defends that it is her love and concern for Cruzita that pushed her to give father and daughter some time together. Calmly Corazon adds, "Sana lang, huwag nating gamitin ang bata for our pesonal gains." Hinting that she knows Innocencia may have some feelings for Sergio and is using the child to be closer to him.
Diego and Monica live in a simple home but they look happy and truly do care for one another. He declares that finally they are both free from Angelika’s tyrannical ways. Monica bites her finger as she forgot to tell her husband that Angelika, the tyrant is coming over to live with them for a while.
(Monica is really a good friend. She did enjoy benefits when Angelika ruled over Villa Santibanez and she is just returning the favor to her friend. Diego should understand this instead of acting weird like he didn’t do anything bad in the past. He had some hand at Marimar’s grief and lately at Renato’s although he did feel pity on his ex-boss and saved him by leaving him near the hospital.)
Sergio arrives at Marimar’s home to pick up Cruzita and Innocencia. Corazon is hesitant but gives in when she sees how excited and happy Cruzita looks. Innocencia looks like a girl let loose in a candy store too. Both Corazon and Nanay Leonor look worried with Corazon calling out to Sergio, "Sir uwi kayong maaga sir." (Please try to come home early, sir.)
Because of the incident with Angelika escaping the police, Marimar unexpectedly decided to come home earlier than planned. Nanay Leonor meets her at the gate, greeting one another warmly. Fifi is also happy to see Fulgoso back. Marimar asks where Cruzita is. Corazon changes the subject, buying for some time and asks her why she returned a bit early. Marimar explains she wants to surprise her daughter and again looks for her. "Asan ang anak ko?" Corazon and Leonor look at one another, unable to speak.
Innocencia, Cruzita and Sergio have a picnic at the park. Innocencia suggests they watch a movie afterwards as there is a good movie for kids showing in the theaters. Cruzita doesn't like movies and Sergio realised he has never taken Marimar to a movie theater when they were together. Sergio admits that he does like watching movies. Innocencia is glad to have something in common with Sergio which he doesn't share with Marimar. She tells Sergio that she likes romantic comedies best.
Getting no response from the two women, Marimar asks them again where Cruzita is. Corazon is forced to tell her that Cruzita left with Innocencia.
Sergio shares that he likes adventure flicks. Cruzita butts in saying, "Ako rin!" Imitating his father. Sergio teases his daughter, "Bolera ka talaga!" (You are such a kidder) and Sergio asks who he got the trait from, him or her mom. Innocencia smiles happy to be sharing this time with the man she loves.
Diego is upset that Angelika is living with them. Monica restrains him from speaking loudly as he may wake Angelika up.
Angelika however is oblivious to the couple's arguments as she removes the bandage covering her blinded eye. She cries as she stares at her face in the mirror. "Hindi pwede itong hitsura ko. Hindi ako pwedeng pangit!" (This could not be. My face, I mustn't be ugly!)
The trio at the park take pictures with Innocencia taking the role of photographer. Marimar arrives witnessing the happy event. No one sees her at first but Cruzita glances her way and shouts, "Mommy!" Innocencia and Sergio freeze, not knowing what to do. Both look her way and say her name, "Marimar."
Marimar grabs Cruzita telling her daughter it's time for them to go home. "Halika na uwi na tayo."
Innocencia tries to run after her, "Marimar, alam kong galit ka..." She tells her friend that she can understand how upset she must be.
Marimar explodes, "Buti alam mo! Pinagkatiwalaan kita, trinaydor mo ako!" (Good that you know I'm upset. I trusted you and yet you betrayed me!)
Innocencia tries to defend her actions, "Hindi kita trinaydor, ginawa ko lang ang tama." (I didn't betray you, I only did what I think was right.)
Marimar walks back to the woman she thought was her friend and slaps her hard. Sergio tries to defend Innocencia, by reacting to Marimar's rash action but decides to remain silent, for now.
Marimar stares hard at them both as she turns and walks out.

Marimar Episode 78
Marimar Episode 78 – The one with Marimar’s party at Villa Aldama
Aired in the UAE on Wednesday, 5th December 2007
Angelika and Nicandro has just finished doing ‘the deed’ and the man asks the woman, “Nag-enjoy ka ba?” if she enjoyed herself. Nicandro offers his home to Angelika telling her she can stay for as long as she likes as she does have some pretty interesting uses after all. “May silbi ka naman eh.”
Angelika doesn’t seem to mind that she’s sunk so low, having sexual relations with her lapdog and henchman. She blames Marimar for all her misery and vows vengeance. “Pagbabayaran mo ng buhay mo!” (Is she daft? She caused Marimar to seek vengeance on her in the first place for all the evil things she’s done and now she wants to seek her own? Never-ending na lang ba na cycle ito? Oh well, telenovelas do come across as such. What else is new? There really seems to be no remorse on her part but she did act well the part where she apologised to her old childhood friend.)
Marimar walks barefoot at the resort’s beach. Several guards are on hand to provide protection and one even holds her umbrella for her protecting her from the soft drizzle. Fulgoso reminds her (although she doesn’t really hear it) of the times when they used to run along the beach chasing each other. “Gusto mo naka-paa. Jologs ka pa noon.”
Marimar recalls the time she spent with Sergio in the deserted island when he took her off there to make amends. She cries as bitter-sweet memories come rushing back. Memories she has long hidden and locked in her heart.
Fulgoso notices her and comments, “Ay-ya-yay, umiiyak ka na naman ba Marimar?” Knowing how easily Marimar can succumb to tears.
Marimar talks to her loyal and beloved friend, “ang sarap ng hangin Fulgoso. Ang sarap ng buhangin sa mga paa ko.” She shares that she recall her grandparents, Lolo Pancho and Lola Cruz. How happy they were back then. “At si Sergio...” She sighs as memories of her wedding day comes to taunt her along with his admission that it was all a fake. She cries with the rain.
“Bakit? Bakit ang lungkot-lungkot ko? Bakit ang sakit-sakit? Bakit ang lalim ng puwang dito sa dibdib ko?” She asks the world why she is so sad. Why is she still hurting. And why is there such a huge emptiness within her heart.
“Ako si Marimar. Mabuti akong tao.” She declares she is a good person but pauses to consider her statement. “Mabuting tao....” She questions her actions of late. “Mabuting tao pa ba ako?” Seeking her vengeance to the ruin of Angelika and Sergio has made her into something else. Her anger surfaces as she blames them for what she has become.
“Niloko mo ako. Binigay ko lahat sa iyo Sergio, lahat ng pag-ibig ko. Pero ginamit mo lang ako. Ginamit mo ako para lang kay Angelika. Naisip ko kung tama ba ang ginawa ko, pero naisip ko lahat ng kahayupang ginawa mo sa akin. Lahat ng hirap.”
She justifies her anger by remembering how Sergio fooled and used her, just to make Angelika jealous.
Marimar recalls the scene with Angelika at the hill where she got shot. “Kaya tama lang na palayasin sila dito tulad ng pagpapalayas nila sa akin noong mangmang pa ako.” She uses this to rationalise that what she did, her revenge, had been just right.
But her fear of God stops her and gives her much guilt. She sends a prayer, “Diyos ko, patawarin nyo po ako. Lahat ng paghihirap dinanas ko. Tama ako. Dahil lahat ng utang dapat pinagbabayaran. Naniningil lang ako sa lahat ng ginawa nila sa akin.” She asks for forgiveness and reasons that every debt must be paid. She was but settling scores; calling in debts from her past. (So, Marimar dear, you've gotten revenge but are you happy? Vengenace may be sweet but what comes after is the bitter taste of regret.)
Nicandro asks Angelika to eat. “Pasensiya na, ito lang kaya ng pera ko.” He apologises for the humble spread saying this is all his money could afford.
Angelika asks for some cutleries but Nicandro wakes her up with a few reality bites. “Huwag ka nang ma-arte! Wala ka na bang pera? Anong plano mo? Di ka naman pwedeng umasa na lang sa akin.” He asks her what her plans are and reminds her that she cannot just rely on him to survive, she too must find a way to bring in some income.
Angelika agrees and assures him she will think of something. “Maganda ako. Madaming mauuto lalaki.” She is pretty and has a sexy body. It would be easy for her to find men she could fool whilst taking their money away.
Innocencia is still with Sergio and now Cruzita has gone asleep in his arms. She offers to take the child so he can have a bit of a break but he tells her that he doesn’t mind. Innocencia shares that she grew up in a similar park herself with both parents vending balloons and ‘balot’ (duck eggs) in the park. She shares that she is just a simple person with simple dreams: to be with the man she loves. She offers that she would be a good wife and mother to her family. (Hinting to the max itong bruhang ito! Hoy, wake up and smell the sampaguitas, hija, si Marimar lang ang mahal ni Sergio! Asa ka pa! The nerd! hehehehe ay, the nerve pala! hahahahaha!)
Innocencia’s mom and Corazon are fretting, worried that it is getting late and yet Innocencia and Cruzita aren’t back yet.
Sergio shares a bit of himself to Innocencia as well. “Ako, all I want is a family.” He is sad to admit that he doesn’t get along well with his own father and he wants this to be different in his own family. He regrets that he and Marimar are not in good terms and most of it really is his own doing. “Sayang..”
Wanting to cheer him, Innocencia quickly adds “Hindi pa huli ang lahat. Pwede pa mangyari yon.” Indeed it’s not too late, and Sergio is young. He can still achieve his dreams. (But of course Innocencia has in mind that it would be her and Sergio sharing the happy family dream. Hay kakainis! What a traitor!)
Sergio of course thinks about Marimar, “Sa tingin mo magkakabalikan pa kami ni Marimar?”
Corazon is now frantic and tension heightens when they get a call from Marimar, asking her to put Cruzita on the line.
Nicandro advises Angelika to go to Manila, “Malakas kita ng call girls doon.” Call girls or to be blunt, whores earn big in the city. But Angelika has revenge in her mind and asks Nicandro to help her get back into the villa.
At first, the thug hesitate telling her that they would never succeed. There are too many guards securing the area. Angelika reminds him that he ought to know every nook and cranny of the place and Nicandro recalls an old gate he uses to slip in and out of the premises. “Nasa liblib na parte ng resort.” It is located in a secluded and oft-overlooked area of the resort.
Angelika bids him, “Samahan mo ako. Ginulat ako ni Marimar. Ako naman ang bubulaga sa kanya.” (Marimar caught me off-guard. Now it's my turn to give her a surprise.)
Corazon looks at Nanay Leonor for some inspiration as she lies to Marimar. “Tulog na.” Telling the mother that her daughter is now asleep. Marimar wonders, “Ala sais pa lang,” it’s only but six in the evening.
Corazon explains that Cruzita had slept since the afternoon nap and hasn’t awoken since then. But Marimar insists that she wake the child up as she wants to talk to her daughter.
The nanny was running up of excuses and is about to blurt out the truth when Cruzita arrives with Innocencia. It was just the perfect time! Corazon hands Cruzita the phone telling her it’s her mother.
Back at the villa, Bella calls on Perfecta and orders her to feed Fulgoso. Perfecta reasons there is no longer any dog food available. Bella snaps at her to go and buy some for her pet. “Di ka ba nag-iisip?”
Perfecta mutters to herself and one staff hears her. The girl asks why is she muttering and Perfecta ridicules Marimar, “Dating mangmang na naka-paa.” telling the girl who the new owner used to be.
The new staff admits, “Di ko ma-imagine.” She cannot think of Bella as some naive bare-footed simpleton.
Perfecta tries to convince her. “Basura lang yan dito.” Expressing that Marimar was but trash in the resort before. (Perfecta dear, for all the things you've connived with Angelika to make Marimar's life hell at the villa, you could be the next one to be fired off Villa Aldama. Careful!)
Innocencia and Sergio continue their talk. The woman asks the man how is he going to win back Marimar. The man admits it would be difficult as right now Marimar is filled with hatred for him. Innocencia advises the man she loves to love someone else. “Ibaling mo na lang sa iba ang pag-ibig mo.” (Yeah right, more like, ibaling mo na lang sa akin...biatch! Ochoserang frog ito!)
The party is at full swing at Villa Aldama. Rodolfo’s guests and friends arrive. Bruno asks his friend where Bella is.
In the kitchen, Perfecta and the staff are busy preparing the food for the party. Nicandro arrives with Angelika who looks plain without her signature clothes, designer make-up and expensive baubles. Nicandro wishes her luck and leaves, not wanting to be a part of Angelika’s one-track-mind search for retribution.
Sergio tells Innocencia that when Marimar returns, he may no longer be able to see Cruzita. Innocencia assures him that she will do all she can to find a way around it and help him. Sergio tells her that if Marimar finds out about this, she would surely get very angry with Innocencia.
But Innocencia has made up her mind. She will do everything for the man she loves as she talks in her head, “Handa akong harapin ang galit ni Marimar huwag ka lang mawala sa buhay ko. Hanggang ngayon minamahal pa rin kita Sergio.”
Angelika grabs one of the hotel staff and wrings her neck (ala Alias, ibang level na ito!) Perfecta throws her a two-pronged serving fork and she changes into the uniform of the unconscious lass. (Did she kill her or just put her to sleep?)
Arturo tells Sergio his fear. When Marimar comes back, he wouldn’t be able to see Cruzita. Sergio is firm in his resolve to seek legal means if only to spend some time with Cruzita. Arturo isn’t keen on his boss’ plan as this will only anger Marimar more.
Sergio sighs, stating that he wants his family to be complete. “Gusto kong mabuo ang pamilya ko.”
Arturo shares his gut feelings with Sergio. ”Feeling ko lang, di na kayo magkakabalikan pa ni Marimar.”
Sergio tells his gay friend that he shares the same views as Innocencia sharing what the young woman just told him, “Nagbago na daw si Marimar.” Marimar has changed a lot.
Arturo shows surprise at Innocencia’s comment about her friend knowing it hints at the woman’s own yearning for Sergio but he advises his friend to follow Innocencia’s advise anyway.
Sergio remains firm as he declines the good intentions of his friends. He declares he loves none other but Marimar.
Marimar is in a colorful, flowery, gauzy gown (parang Georgette) that is quite long. She looks radiant and Rodolfo greets her justly, “Hello my beautiful girlfriend.” (Urgh, so proprietory! Stop or I'd vomit all over my notes already!)
Rodolfo calls everyone’s attention. “Ladies and Gentlemen....” He makes a speech about how happy this occasion is being the launch of Villa Aldama.
Angelika is inconspicuous as one of the resort staff in mint green. She looks rather plain with light make-up and couldn’t be singled out in a crowd.
It is now Bella’s turn to say something and she shares with the guests some anecdote, “Ang imposible, pwedeng gawing posible. Pag ginusto mo, makukuha mo.” Guests clap but stop when from nowhere Angelika shouts, “Ako ang may-ari ng resort na ito. Magkakamatayan muna tayo bago ito maging sa iyo.”
She lunges with the pointed fork as guards run to protect Bella and stop the intruder. Marimar struggles with Angelika as she fights against the woman who has every reason to kill her at this juncture. (We all make a collective gasp as we hope our heroine would be okay. Of course she will be, this is primetime TV!)
Aired in the UAE on Wednesday, 5th December 2007
Angelika and Nicandro has just finished doing ‘the deed’ and the man asks the woman, “Nag-enjoy ka ba?” if she enjoyed herself. Nicandro offers his home to Angelika telling her she can stay for as long as she likes as she does have some pretty interesting uses after all. “May silbi ka naman eh.”
Angelika doesn’t seem to mind that she’s sunk so low, having sexual relations with her lapdog and henchman. She blames Marimar for all her misery and vows vengeance. “Pagbabayaran mo ng buhay mo!” (Is she daft? She caused Marimar to seek vengeance on her in the first place for all the evil things she’s done and now she wants to seek her own? Never-ending na lang ba na cycle ito? Oh well, telenovelas do come across as such. What else is new? There really seems to be no remorse on her part but she did act well the part where she apologised to her old childhood friend.)
Marimar walks barefoot at the resort’s beach. Several guards are on hand to provide protection and one even holds her umbrella for her protecting her from the soft drizzle. Fulgoso reminds her (although she doesn’t really hear it) of the times when they used to run along the beach chasing each other. “Gusto mo naka-paa. Jologs ka pa noon.”
Marimar recalls the time she spent with Sergio in the deserted island when he took her off there to make amends. She cries as bitter-sweet memories come rushing back. Memories she has long hidden and locked in her heart.
Fulgoso notices her and comments, “Ay-ya-yay, umiiyak ka na naman ba Marimar?” Knowing how easily Marimar can succumb to tears.
Marimar talks to her loyal and beloved friend, “ang sarap ng hangin Fulgoso. Ang sarap ng buhangin sa mga paa ko.” She shares that she recall her grandparents, Lolo Pancho and Lola Cruz. How happy they were back then. “At si Sergio...” She sighs as memories of her wedding day comes to taunt her along with his admission that it was all a fake. She cries with the rain.
“Bakit? Bakit ang lungkot-lungkot ko? Bakit ang sakit-sakit? Bakit ang lalim ng puwang dito sa dibdib ko?” She asks the world why she is so sad. Why is she still hurting. And why is there such a huge emptiness within her heart.
“Ako si Marimar. Mabuti akong tao.” She declares she is a good person but pauses to consider her statement. “Mabuting tao....” She questions her actions of late. “Mabuting tao pa ba ako?” Seeking her vengeance to the ruin of Angelika and Sergio has made her into something else. Her anger surfaces as she blames them for what she has become.
“Niloko mo ako. Binigay ko lahat sa iyo Sergio, lahat ng pag-ibig ko. Pero ginamit mo lang ako. Ginamit mo ako para lang kay Angelika. Naisip ko kung tama ba ang ginawa ko, pero naisip ko lahat ng kahayupang ginawa mo sa akin. Lahat ng hirap.”
She justifies her anger by remembering how Sergio fooled and used her, just to make Angelika jealous.
Marimar recalls the scene with Angelika at the hill where she got shot. “Kaya tama lang na palayasin sila dito tulad ng pagpapalayas nila sa akin noong mangmang pa ako.” She uses this to rationalise that what she did, her revenge, had been just right.
But her fear of God stops her and gives her much guilt. She sends a prayer, “Diyos ko, patawarin nyo po ako. Lahat ng paghihirap dinanas ko. Tama ako. Dahil lahat ng utang dapat pinagbabayaran. Naniningil lang ako sa lahat ng ginawa nila sa akin.” She asks for forgiveness and reasons that every debt must be paid. She was but settling scores; calling in debts from her past. (So, Marimar dear, you've gotten revenge but are you happy? Vengenace may be sweet but what comes after is the bitter taste of regret.)
Nicandro asks Angelika to eat. “Pasensiya na, ito lang kaya ng pera ko.” He apologises for the humble spread saying this is all his money could afford.
Angelika asks for some cutleries but Nicandro wakes her up with a few reality bites. “Huwag ka nang ma-arte! Wala ka na bang pera? Anong plano mo? Di ka naman pwedeng umasa na lang sa akin.” He asks her what her plans are and reminds her that she cannot just rely on him to survive, she too must find a way to bring in some income.
Angelika agrees and assures him she will think of something. “Maganda ako. Madaming mauuto lalaki.” She is pretty and has a sexy body. It would be easy for her to find men she could fool whilst taking their money away.
Innocencia is still with Sergio and now Cruzita has gone asleep in his arms. She offers to take the child so he can have a bit of a break but he tells her that he doesn’t mind. Innocencia shares that she grew up in a similar park herself with both parents vending balloons and ‘balot’ (duck eggs) in the park. She shares that she is just a simple person with simple dreams: to be with the man she loves. She offers that she would be a good wife and mother to her family. (Hinting to the max itong bruhang ito! Hoy, wake up and smell the sampaguitas, hija, si Marimar lang ang mahal ni Sergio! Asa ka pa! The nerd! hehehehe ay, the nerve pala! hahahahaha!)
