A little pressed for time today so the synopsis will be a short one. However I loved the ending of this ep! It was absolutely delighful in its own way! I didnt know if I should laugh or be worried! I think this ep paved the way for EY and JS's future in a way. Honestly, if JS and EY are not together, I will simply be lost for words!
Coffee House Ep 17: Summary
Basically JS fulfilled his promise and did the weekly on air programme. All the past memories with JS flashed past before Ey as she cried tears of sadness. Just then, SY called EY to tell her that JS has turned up and EY was relieved. She couldnt resist but turn on the radio to hear his voice before turning it off again.
Meanwhile, JS who was awaken b SY's words previously decided to talk to EY in person. He turned up at her place and asked her in private if she is really happy? he mentioned she had lied to him many times in the past and so he really wanted to hear the truth from her in person one last time. If she isnt sure about the marriage, she should let him know. The reason he is staying is because he wanted to protect something, which is her happiness. Regardless how their relationship is defined, may it be friends, business associates or even his senior's wife, it doesnt matter. He only wanted her to be happy and thus he is here to ask, whether leaving her here to be married while they are separated can truly make her happy, or perhaps he is still messing it up doing th wrong thing till the end? Can it be his self arrogance making a serious judgement error? "Will you...be really happy?" JS asked as he hold back his tears.
EY was a little taken back and speechless for a while.. She said how is she to know when nothing has started (refering to her marriage). Canx you feel? JS asked her. "Like you, the roller coaster sort of emotions?" She asked him back. JS told her if she is not sure or has doubt, she shouldnt do it. She said "If I had known...I never even thought remotely that you would have returned two years later.....If only you had let me know for certain you will be back after 2 years..." JS kept quiet hearing that...
In the car, EY called JS. She said thanks for asking her again. However, while she isnt sure if she will ever regret saying it, but at this moment, she has no choice. She has things to protect. "I wont force you, but if you think you wont be happy, then tell me anytime, even up to the morn of the ceremony, I will fight for it no matter what cost, everything, I will help you fidn the answer. " EY was stunned by his statement. Before he drove off, JS called someone to say he will be late.
It turns out that JS was meeting another publisher whose terms were horrible and JS asked him to redo the contract. While he was there, some of the EY's publishing staff saw him and asked if he was really changing his publisher. However, JS told her not to tell EY about it.
The barrister finally confronted SY about her pretence with JS as a couple. he said he heard from EY. He expressed his liking and wishes to court her but SY declined. She said while the couple thing was indeed a pretence, however her liking for JS was genuine even if it is one sided. The barrister asked why does it has to be so? SY said affairs of the heart is something which cannot be controlled.
As Ey was leaving office and taking leave before the sat wedding, she bumped into JS along the streets, However strugging emotionally, she turned round and walked away from him without a word. As it started to pour, she dashed into a telephone booth and all the past memories with JS flooded her mind. EY started to sob uncontrollably...
The next day, JS learnt from EY's staff that she is down with serious bout of fever and cold. Concerned, JS went to EY's house to treat her. When she woke, JS smiled and reminded her he was a doctor before he was a writer. He asked her if she was in this state becaise of him. She said "yes, its all because of you, all due to you. You horrible beggar, you horrible garbage.." EY started to cry again. Js changed topic and said lightheartedly that his diagnosis is that she will recover by sat for her wedding and by her hardheaded nature, she will not delay the wedding for sure. Then he whispered in half jest to her "How about this? Shall i grab the bride's and ran out of the wedding? romantic right? Dun all girls like this?" EY asked isnt he kidding and ridiculous? JS continued to elaborate the plan that since there wasnt much choice, but he reckon it will be embarrassing for parents from both sides, too huge an embarrassment to face anyone in future. EY smiled and replied that the JS that she knew, would not do such a grand thing. JS went "really? So i isnt the sort?" EY gave a weak chuckle and said to drag the bride out before so many pair of eyes, not anyone else but you JS? JS smiled and agreed that he hate such person the most. To express his feelings and do such a thing would indeed be ridiculously funny not to mention his image will be ruined. EY said the sort of JS she knew would appear, glance and then leave. "I am suffering now, please dont make me sad further." EY told him. JS gave a helpless smile and kept quiet. Just then, the other lady returned with the medication. EY said its time for him to go and he left. Alone, EY cried as she lay on the bed alone.
As JS was leaving the studio, SY thanked him and he jokingly said that to retain that "respect sure was a "burden" and pressure. He asked if she is keeping her word and returned her the botebook with her novel ideas. He had corrected and gave ideas to her draft. Sy was supremely touched. JS asked she must be overflowing with respect now and she replied yes! Sy asked if he is going to the wedding and JS told her not to go. She asked why not and he said Just dont go! Sy said how can she not since she knows both the couple but JS said just don go. In the lift, JS teased her again for the novel saying it has been an ordeal and painful to correct it and she should improve her standard based on his corrections.
On way to the wedding, EY was out of sorts and wasnt concentrating. She was visibly troubled and not paying attention to anything her staff was saying. She took a huge breathe before walking down the aisle to a happy JW. However she was not smiling at all. JS was walking up the steps solemnly as the wedding procession begins. Just outside the door, JS slowly approaches the main door and signed his name with a heavy heart.
Just when he looked like he was leaving, JS appeared to make a mental preparation before embarking on his agenda and smiled. Readied, he kicked the door open and everyone was stunned. Ey was shocked as she rem the earlier conversations they had about him trying to take her away. Instead, JS made a beeline straight for the "new" publisher and bashed him up badly. Apparently, the contract had been terribly unfair or bad towards JS upon some legal advice. JS smiled and remarked he had truly picked the worst of the worst publishers possible. (it was intentional) JS continued to bash the guy relentlessly while EY and JW watched on unbelibeing their eyes!
