Emerald:

Hi, Issa. Alam ko magugulat ka sa message ko, but don't worry. Wala naman nangyaring masama kay Onyx. He knows I'm doing this because I told him. Pinagbawalan niya ako but I'm doing it anyway.

I wanted to meet with you, but I guess this would suffice for now. I just want to say sorry for everything. Sobrang nahihiya ako and also Mommy for what we have done. We knew you longer than Athalia and yet we chose to believe her. Hindi naman excuse na kapani-paniwala siya, but still, she really was convincing. I didn't what took over us, to be honest.

I really don't want to explain anymore kasi lalabas lang na nag-excuse ako which, in a way, might be true. We are Onyx's family and we don't want any bad blood between his partner and us. We knew he loved you the moment he refused to talk to us until we realize what we did. Nakalipas na and all pero alam namin kung paano mo siya kinumbinsi na kausapin kami uli. That's just how good you are, Issa. There are no words.

Alam ko rin na naghihintay ka ng results for your licensure exam. Nabanggit ni Onyx sa akin kaya ayaw niya rin na i-message kita, but I can't wait anymore. With everything we have said and judged you for, ayaw ko na isipin mong kaya kami humihingi ng patawas dahil lang sa lisensyado ka na.

We are genuinely sorry. I hope we find the time to get together and to start anew. I just know my brother won't be letting you off so easily.

Good luck on your results! We wish you all the best and luck, Issa. Again, we're sorry.

We've heard the news. Congratulations, doc!

Issa:

Hi, ate Emerald? Ate Em? I don't know what to call you, honestly. At hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin.

Finally, pinayagan na akong buksan 'yung message mo. Nakalipas naman na 'yun, ate. I must admit that it stung and has hurt my feelings pero ganu'n talaga. You can't please everybody. Saka hindi ko naman kayo masisisi since hindi niyo pa naman ako nakasama nang matagal.

I'm really all what Athalia was saying. You know all that pero pina-OA niya lang. I try my best to be a professional kaso 'pag may mali na, I talk back and defend people na nakikita kong wala namang ginawang mali. Maingay lang talaga ako, may built-in megaphone yata bunganga ko.

Kaso nga nakaraan na 'yun. 'Wag na nating balikan. I've known your family for so long and, you know, mahal pala ako ng kapatid mong tsundere. 😂 Family is important to me kaya kinausap ko talaga si Onyx na kausapin kayo. Ang pangit naman kapag ginatungan ko pa siya na 'wag kayo kausapin just because of a misunderstanding.

Wala na 'yun. And thank you! Uhm, if you'd like, we'll have dinner next week, invited kayo. Hehe.

Emerald:

Just like that? Hindi ka man lang magagalit?

Issa:

Nakakapagod mag-hold ng grudge. And Onyx makes me happy. I don't to feel anythin but that love right now.

I promise, we're good. Tanong mo pa si Onyx.

Emerald:

So si Onyx lang ang problema talaga?

Issa:

Uhhh....

I think so? Matagal magkimkim ng sama ng loob pala 'to.

Emerald:

Ever since.

Akala mo aping-api palagi.

Issa:

Really?

Emerald:

Mahilig magtampo 'yan. Hahaha! Akala ko nagbago na. I guess we really did cross the line when we judged you.

We didn't know he likes before all this. Just shows how much he's good in keeping it in.

Hay. I'm glad he's making you happy. Pambawi sa nagawa namin.

Issa:

Huh? Ano bang nagawa niyo?

Emerald:

Issa naman.

Issa:

We're good, Ate Emerald. Thank you for looking out for Onyx. Kung hindi mo naman siya pinilit mag-zoom date, wala.kami dito ngayon. So, still, thank you.

See you next week!
