During Chino and Lani’s whirlwind romance, Chino gets into a fight with a mayor’s son that leads Chino’s brother Sammy to send him to America. Lani, with no knowledge of Chino’s departure to America, follows Chino to Manila to tell him about her pregnancy. Upon Lani’s visit, Sammy refuses Lani entry to their house. As Sammy leaves the house, not looking at the commotion Lani is causing outside his car, he instructs his driver to ignore Lani’s pleas and carry on driving. The driver accidentally bumps Lani, causing her miscarriage.
With nothing else going on for her, Lani holds on to her American dream.
