Gerald has a scheduled interview in the early show of Ms. Kris Aquino, his first time.  He is a little apprehensive and already sense that he will be asked about the current status of his relationship with Sarah.  He was right, he was in awe, how Ms. Kris handles her show but she is so kind and very supportive.  One can feel her sincerity and kindness, as well as, she said to me that she support and admire Sarah and booted for him to be the right guy for Sarah.  He answered all the questions candidly and with all honesty, but keep to himself the current status that they are already a couple.  After his guesting at Kris TV, wherein he publicly announced his more than six months courtship to Sarah, the next day, a blind item connecting him with a girl in Cebu came out in the tabloid.  What the public didn’t know which me, Sarah, her and my family knows that we are already a couple for almost three months now.

As expected, the rigmarole started to create confusion and misinformation against them, and their family.    The sad point is they are now involving Sarah’s family as the villain especially Tita Divine.  I texted her… Babe, are you busy today?  Can I come to your house?    Then my phone rings… Hello babe, we are still in the house, why the sad tone?  

Gerald:   Babe, Sorry I just felt melancholic.   Can I come over? Are your parents still there, I wanted to apologize to them, they are being involved in the fiasco, they are making to discredit us.  

Sarah:  Okay, I’ll wait for you. Let’s eat together.  By the way, don’t fret about it; we know the truth so there is nothing to worry about.

Mommy Divine.  Sarah, can we talk.  We will wait for you in the entertainment room.

Sarah went down and saw her Dad, her handler, and Viva manager.   She felt something is going to be wrong.  Hello po, Good morning, what’s happening?  Why the gloomy face?

Ate Ana:  Have you not heard the news?  Sarah shakes her head and gives them a blank look.  You all know that I am not reading anymore showbiz news nor watch any showbiz tidbits, she said.

Well, Ate Ana continued, you and Gerald are the hot topic in all the medium including the social network.

Sarah said:  What’s new?  They are always pretending to know everything about me, my family and my lovelife.  I really am so impressed how they can concoct issues even without talking with me or the person concern.  Is it about the last TV guesting of Gerald in Kris TV?  He didn’t tell anything except just confirm that he is courting me. So nothing new.

Ate Ana will say something when Gerald came in and after greeting them and her parents, sit beside her and give her a kiss and then got hold of her hand.  Sarah reciprocated by pressing his hand and smiled at him.   Then they looked at Ate Ana and the Viva to continue on, but the two were shocked to see the closeness of the two and how Gerald was welcomed by Tita Divine and Daddy Delfin, as if he was already one of the family.

Gerald:  Ate Ana, sir, we know you are wondering what is happening now? Most probably, you are all aware on the latest negative issues being spread in the showbiz world.  And for this, I am apologizing again and again, to Mommy and Daddy, because this time, they are now hurdling bad comments against your family, Sarah.  I don’t know where this all started, but I am going to look into this and will make whoever did this suffer my wrath.  I am pissed off by their motive.  They don’t fight fairly, they hide behind innuendos and media blitz and I will not allow them to besmirck your family or anyone else.  Sarah tries to comfort him because she really feels the emotion, the anger as she felt his trembling with emotions.  Looking at her parents, Sarah wanted to know what is happening, because although she has some inkling but she is not yet aware of what has been happening now.  She has the right to know.
