Sloanna:

Hi, Anjerica. I know you'd remember me. How's everything going for you? This is a little bit late, but congratulations on your bakeshop.

This might be awkward, but can I ask you to make my wedding cake?

Anjerica:

Hi. Thank you. We're doing okay, the business is thriving.

Of course. Ano bang specific request mo? And kailan kailangan?

Sloanna:

You're really agreeing?

Anjerica:

Oo naman. This is business.

Sloanna:

Hindi ka man lang mag-da-dalawang isip?

Anjerica:

Why would I?

Sloanna:

After everything that has happened?

Anjerica:

Ikaw na nagsabi, it already happened. Nasa nakaraan na. If you asked me this more than a year ago, I'd probably lash out or turn you down immediately.

Nagalit ako pero hindi directly sa'yo. And if my cake will complete your wedding, then so be it. I don't care who your partner is.

Sloanna:

It's not Merrick.

Anjerica:

What?

Sloanna:

Hiwalay na kami. The wedding didn't push through.

Anjerica:

I thought…

You were so in love.

Sloanna:

We were or I was. I don't know really. Nadala ako ng mga salita niya and also his actions. Ang perfect niya.

I didn't know that underneath his facade is something so rotten to the core.

I'm sorry for believing his lies. Nakakahiya. I left him after he admitted how he manipulated you and played you. That Tristan is really his child at ayaw niya lang na matali sa'yo.

Anjerica:

Wait, whoa.

How did you make him admit those things?

Sloanna:

His family was looking for him. They told me how Merrick stolen all of their money and sold off almost all of their family properties.

I didn't believe it at first kaya kinompronta ko siya. I told him to tell me everything he has done or else I'll leave him.

Not only did he admitted stealing, he also admitted how much he disliked the thought of responsibilities. That you were a fool to believe him all those years ago.

Sloanna:

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have told you any of this since you're already happy. I just want to apologize and say that you're truly amazing.

Hindi biro 'yung pinagdaanan mo. I felt really hurt and betrayed with his actions and I can't imagine how you felt back then.

Anjerica:

It was what it was. Lahat naman ng 'yun, nabawi. Life has given me even more reasons to live now with the help of Isle.

Laking pasalamat ko lang, hindi ko siya pinakasalan or I'd have suffered greater hurt and pain.

I'm happy for you, Sloanna. Makakahinga ako ng maluwag na hindi ka matatali sa katulad niya. He's one hell of a great actor. Lahat ng ginagawa niya ay para lang sa kanya. He never really cared.

Sloanna:

Yes. Matagal na rin kaming wala. I think right after our encounter last Christmas, that's where itnall started to crumble.

Anjerica:

Wow. So right after that you met this guy?

Sloanna:

No. It took me months to get it over with. I was glad I left him, but I felt really stupid so I didn't really had the energy to go out.

Then my best friend came back from the States two months ago and the short rest is history.

Anjerica:

Oh my god!!!!!!! Mas lalong gusto kong gawin 'yung wedding cake mo.

Congratulations, Sloanna. You deserve this for outting up with Merrick's manipulation.

Sloanna:

I just want him to stop. Sana wala nang sumunod.

Anjerica:

I hope so, too.

Sloanna:

I also hope we'll be good friends. I know saying it is pushing my limitations, but yeah. I'd like to be friends with you.

I reallly loved your baking. Those cookies were perfection kaya sinubukan ko na i-message ka.

You deserve to be loved, Anjerica.

Anjerica:

Thanks, Sloanna. Maybe this will be the start of a great friendship.
