ARTEMIS GAIL SARVANTES
I woke Venus up for lunch, as Apollo was almost there. She mentioned "Jupiter" before falling back asleep, which caught me off guard.
When she finally woke up, her eyes lit up at the mention of Apollo's arrival. She quickly got ready and joined me downstairs.
VENUS ATHLEA SARVANTES
I was thrilled to see Kuya Apollo finally arrive. We hugged tightly, and he reassured me that he was there for me.
When my phone rang, I answered it, and it was my husband. We had a brief conversation, and he hung up, leaving me feeling a bit puzzled.
APOLLO GARIS SARVANTES
Venus looked a bit down when she sat down beside Ate Persephone. I tried to lighten the mood by teasing her, but she just forced a smile.
The scene captures the warmth and camaraderie among the siblings, as well as Venus's excitement and affection for her family.
APOLLO GARIS SARVANTES
"Let's eat," Little Alex said, and we smiled, said a brief prayer, and started eating.
Venus exclaimed, "Wow, sinigang sa baboy, my favorite!" We laughed, and Ate Persephone served her.
As we ate, we chatted and enjoyed each other's company. Venus asked, "Where were you, Kuya Apollo?" I replied, "Just taking care of some things."
Then I asked Venus, "Baby sis, is it true you're getting married? And to another woman?" The atmosphere became tense, and I felt the piercing gazes of my Ate's.
I tried to brush it off, saying, "Let's just eat first." We finished our meal, and Ate Hera and Alex cleared the table.
We went to the living room, and I lay down on the sofa bed, putting my feet up on the coffee table. Twin teased me, "Hey, want to lose your feet?"
I apologized, "Sorry, twin, I'm just tired." Venus approached me, asking for a pasalubong, and I chuckled, "Later, baby sis, it's still in my car."
ATHENA SAMANTHA SAAVEDRA
Big sis asked, "Do you miss her?" I looked at the picture of Venus and me, taken at my secret haven.
The picture showed Venus hugging me from behind and kissing my cheek. Big sis commented, "You're so sweet in this picture."
I replied coldly, "So what?" She noticed the picture and smiled, saying, "You're in love with her, aren't you?"
I remained silent, worried that she'd use this against me.
ALEXANDRA CHLOE SARVANTES
I watched Kuya Apollo and Venus chat, happy to see them reunited. I smiled, thinking about revealing the truth to Venus that she's our sister, not just a cousin.
Ate Hera noticed my deep thoughts and asked, "What's on your mind?" I shared my concerns, and she advised me not to worry about it yet.
When we joined the others, Kuya Apollo smiled at me, and I nodded back. Venus joked about KFC, and we all laughed.
Ate Persephone teased, "She's still a kid at heart." Kuya Apollo replied, "I think it'll take a long time for her to change."
I hope that when Venus finds out the truth, she won't change towards us.
Here's a more polished translation:
