"I'm really sorry Pablo but I can only love you as a friend." Stell finally answered. "I won't be able to process that you gave up your dreams for me. You love what you do." Stell continued.
Pablo teared up. It was true though. Pablo didn't want to press him more. Stell as a friend, he could live with that. He wanted to atleast preserved that.
Pablo walked out of the office and saw Ken just outside the door. He looked at him sternly. 
"Make him happy." Pablo said which caught Ken off guard. He just smiled and nodded. Tuluyan ng umalis si Pablo. 
"You sure you're okay?" Ken asked again as he entered the room. Stell smiled weakly. "Clear your sched tonight. We're going somewhere." Ken stated. 
----
It's 4:00pm and Ken is about to enter Stell's office. He knocked three times and entered. He saw Stell just spacing out. 
"Stell? Stell!" he said as he waved his hand in front of Stell. 
"Sorry." Stell apologized. 
"Let's go." Ken said. 
Stell stood up soullessly. He couldn't even care being seen walking out together with CEO Felip. Though his co-workers are more worried about him. 
Went they got to the car, Ken handed his phone to Stell with what looks like Pablo in an interview. 
"I just wanna clear the rumors circulating recently with my Manager, Stell. First, we're JUST FRIENDS. We've been working for like half a decade and he is most of the time overworked. The picture where I carried him was my final concert last month and he didn't sleep for like a day. Kaya pagod na pagod siya. Kaya recently, i hired a road manager para general managing nalang gagawin niya." Pablo explained. "To all the people, whether my fan or not, who criticized him before knowing the truth, I hope you find it in your heart to apologize to him. He didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve a person as good as him." The final sentence with double meaning. 
Stell teared up. He knew Pablo was that good. He was thankful Pablo helped him clear his name. Gumaan pakiramdam niya. 
After watching the video, Ken signaled Yuki to start driving. 
"Where are we going?" tanong ni Stell nang medyo nakaginhawa na siya. 
"You'll know when we get there." Ken being mysterious. 
Couple of minutes later and the car parked. Ken opened the door and got out. Stell followed. 
"Amusement park?" Stell asked.
