Adriel:

Cressida:
Ayos... lang

Aaaa hindi ko alam kung
paano sasabihin :")))

May itatanong ako

Adriel:
why do i suddenly
felt nervous? haha.

Cressida:
Ay deserve mo yan 😾 jk

Adriel:
did i do something wrong?

is this about not chatting
you this past few days?

i'm really sorry. i've been
studying bc it's our finals.

Cressida:
Hindiii

HAA

Paano naman nagkaroon
ng finals eh sa feb pa
ang exams ah?

mukhang tama ako... |

Adriel:
and.

i've been thinking
too on how would i
say that to you.

Cressida:
eto na ata omg, aamin naman pala siya? |

Ang alin?

Adriel:
i did a bad thing.

Cressida:
At mukhang alam ko yan

Kasi alam mo, kahapon
pa ako naguguluhan?

Pero sige, I'll hear your
explanations first bago ko
sabihin ung nangyari kahapon

Na mukhang related
din sa sasabihin mo

Adriel:
huh? okay.

i lied to you and i'm
sorry for doing that.

i don't know if my reason
is valid but i only know
that lying is bad and once
you knew that, i could lose you.

that's why i'm really thinking
it hard since xmas.

i don't know how would
i say it to you. last week,
my brother chatted me
saying he can no longer
do what i asked him.

i have a twin brother, elisha.
his name is aden. we're so
much alike, physically.

when your friend pretend
as you? and ask me if we
could meet? in my mind,
i answered no. i can't do
that, as much as i want to
meet you too, i just can't
and i'm sorry.

and i really felt relieved
that it's not you but then
i realized, you've been
wanting to meet me, it's
been month since we
started chatting but you've
been searching me too
since july.

i want you to be happy.

i can't meet you. i'm here
right now in australia, i'm
taking care of our mom
who is sick.

so i asked aden to pretend
as me in the meantime until
my mom fully recover.

yes, the one who you are
with every saturday? it's
not me, that's my brother.

i'm sorry.
