After Nicole stopped crying, she pulled away from RJ's hug. She quickly wiped her tears way and looked up at him. Today, she has reached her maximum capacity. The words he spoke to her shattered the wall she built up between herself and them. Nicole realized that even though she still finds forgiving hard, there are things she should let go. And that includes him, it includes RJ."
"Tisoy?"
"Bakit?" he asked and she held his hands.
"I just need to know ... totoo ba yung nararamdaman mo kay Ate?"
"Oo." he answered quickly and that caused her heart to skip a beat. He answered without hesitation, he's extremely sure of himself.
"Eh yung sakin? Naging totoo ka ba nun?"
"Siyempre naman." he said and she let out a sigh.
"Tisoy ... I mean Richard ... alam mo namang gusto pa rin kita di ba? Pero since si Ate na yung gusto mo, magpaparaya na ako. You're free." Nicole uttered and tears once again escaped her eyes.
"Pinapatawad mo na kami?" RJ asked and she nodded. He then quickly pulled her in for another hug and thanked her over and over again. Nicole smiled and started hugging him back. She has freed herself and her heart from all the pain, now she can start healing.

Maine gulped after RJ left the mansion. He told her they were forgiven but she didn't fully believe him. The young lady is willing to find out herself.
Maine went to the garden and saw Nicole seemingly waiting for her. She took a deep breath and started to walk towards her young sister.
"Upo ka." Nicole said and so she did.
"I'm sorry Niknik."
"Okay na yun. Ate, I admit ... I got hurt when I found out that something happened between the two of you. I mean ... di ba alam mo naman na may pagkaka-intindihan na kami bago pa ako umalis? Pero ... ugh ... what's the point nga pala eh nangyari na. Anyway, the biggest thing na ikina-galit ko is the fact na tinago niyo pa sa akin. And kung hindi ko pa narinig eh malamang hanggang ngayon ganun pa din yung sitwasyon. Nainis ako kasi hindi mo kinayang -control yung sarili mo pero Mom said something na nakapagpa-bago ng lahat." Nicole said.
"What is it?"
"At the end of the day, you're still my sister ... we're family ... and that is much bigger than any sort of relationship in this world. Tanggap ko na ikaw na yung pinili ni RJ ... okay na ako dun. You know, if there's one thing na na-realize ko ... that has to be the fact that my love for you will always be bigger than anything else. Kahit anong mangyari ... kahit anong gawin mo ... you'll still be important to me. We're family .... tatlo na lang tayo at ayaw ko ng bawasan pa."
Maine's heart fluttered because of the words Nicole told her. The guilt is still there, but at least now they can work on making things better and moving on.
"Can I hug you?"
"Of course."

RJ went home with a huge smile on his attractive face. He's happy that they were finally forgiven. At least now he has less things to worry about.
"Mukhang maganda ata yung araw ng baby carabao ko ah." his mother said.
"Okay na po kasi kami nina Nicole." he replied. His mom then sat beside him and started pinching his cheeks.
"Aray ko, Ma."
"Tumataba ka."
"Hindi naman." he said. RJ then got up and fixed the wrinkle on his shirt. He then went inside after he heard his phone ring. The young guy picked it up and saw that it was a text from the University he applied to weeks ago.
"Ma!"
"Oh napano ka?"
"Early enrollment na daw po niyan for next sem sabi nung Uni."
"Pupunta ka?"
"But of course Ma .... siyempre." He answered proudly.
"Patinging ng but of course." his mom said and he rolled his eyes. RJ then placed the phone inside his poclet and walked out again.

"Are you happy?" Maine heard her Mom ask.
"Opo naman." she replied with a smile on her face. She instantly felt better after her talk with Nicole. She felt relieved, she felt free.
"But I'm going to remind you ah ... you and Tisoy ... may limits pa rin kayo. I'm going to be watching the both of you like an eagle. He and I talked na rin before ... her has to prove himself first bago ka niya i-pursue." Mrs. Mendoza reminded her.
"I know naman, Mommy. Ganun din naman yung gagawin ko eh. Study muna and if he's serious, he will wait." she replied. Maine started tapping her fingers on the table, she became a bit anxious after thinking about all the things the future will bring to them.
"Sus. Maine, kapag two months from now nabuntis ka ipapakasal ko kayo agad ah?"
"Okay, Mommy."
",At parang gusto mo pa talaga?"
"What? No!" Maine answered, feeling her own cheeks blush.
"Ipapakasal ko kayo pero hindi ka dito titira, dun ka sa kaniya. Do you understand me?"
"Opo?"

Later that night, RJ went outside to give Maine a call and ask how she is. The young guy looked up at the stars and smiled widely after spotting a shooting star. RJ quickly whispered a wish right before he heard voice on the other end of the line.
"Good Morning .... ay este, evening .... Good Evening." he said.
"Good Evening din, baliw ka ... how are you?"
"Okay naman ... pogi pa din .... may malaki pa ding-"
"Juice colored ka Tisoy, I'm trying to have a normal conversation here. Wag mo gawing SPG ... ene be? merepek eke." she asked and he giggled a bit.
" ... tiwala sa sarili. Di pa kasi tapos ikaw talaga."
"Ang saya mo no?"
"Aba, siyempre." he said with a smile on his face. RJ then asked Maine how she is and her answer made his smile even bigger.
"Good, okay na kami ni Nicole."
"Nice. Sabi ko na sa iyo, maiintindihan niya rin tayo."
"Tisoy, thank you for everything and I love you."
"You're welcome .... I love you more."
