Suddenly, she knew that JR had been serious about her, being a longtime admirer see her in the neighborhood he plied his daily route as a tricycle driver. She admit for JR not only showed his pure intentions in wooing her, but eventually fall in love with a guy who even struggles in spelling the words he wants to express. Rose and JR enjoyed a blissful relationship, but they faced terrible stumbling blocks—foremost of which was the disapproval of his father, who thinks she would be up for no good if she continues her romance with JR.

When JR confronted Rose, she tearfully apologized and told him she thought he has lost his interest in their relationship because he had not communicated with her for so long.

JR told her he had been too busy with work because he needed to shoulder the cost of caring for an ailing father—a fact he did not reveal to Rose, who asked him why he had not told her about it. JR also told Rose that finding another boyfriend was not the solution to their problems and that she should have sought him out to talk about their issues. She asked forgiveness and begged for a second chance.

However, when she started work, colleagues would look down on JR, chatting at Rose’s back that she has a bleak future with someone whose work is just a tricycle driver. When JR overheard it, he kept the pain to himself, and not opening up to Rose about it. Rose did not have the faintest idea about JR’s insecurities until the pandemic happened, and Rose asked JR if they could get married soon, given how the challenges of COVID-19 made them see how time is precious and should not be wasted. JR was understandably hesitant, given that he did not have the resources for a grand wedding or even a stable future in supporting their family. But Rose was insistent, telling him that she would shoulder all the costs needed for their wedding, as she landed a new, high-paying job. But his insecurities remained, and JR would show it with the way he acted when they discussed about the wedding.
