[2] Eden lives in a bahay kubo in the middle of a farm near a river, with Lola Ida and her friend Marang.
Marang, who has a racket by posing as a bit player in films shot in their town, puts her in a date with Perry who is blind.
They then live a rich life, hiring Jake as a gardener, and having the children enter prestigious schools.
This causes their house to be foreclosed and they drive to their old home, returning to selling plants, flowers and other homegrown items.
One day, Marang and Habagat decide to marry and Lily reveals that she competed against Rose for Eden's affection.
