Thirdy parked his car sa basement ng condo na tinitirhan ng girlfriend nyang si Julia at dali daling kinuha ang mga pasalubong, hapunan nila. Simula ng umuwi sya from Japan, this will just be the 5th time na magkikita sila. They have been busy preparing for their wedding that they have to decide to arrange it separately with their planner, they have plenty of months, anyway.
Nung makarating sya sa palapag kung saan ang unit ni Julia, napansin nya ang babae, slumped, sitting on the floor, face covered with her hands. She looks familiar.
Paglapit nya, nagulat sya.
"Bea? What are you doing here?"
She looked up, she knows just by the sound of the voice that it was Thirdy.
Napatingin si Thirdy sa pinto, he heard laughter.
"May bisita si Julia?"
Pa ambang kakatok si Thirdy nang tumayo si Bea.
"Jigs is inside with her, just the two of them." She said and walked away.
Nagulat si Thirdy sa sinabi ni Bea, since when have they been close, Thirdy wondered.
Dali daling sinundan ni Thirdy si Bea habang nakatingin sa pintuan.
"Bei, wait!"
Sige pa din lakad ni Bea hanggang makarating sa elevator.
"How did you know about this? Paano ka nagpunta dito, coding ka diba?"
"I used Kuya's car because I needed to get something from Pat."
"Okay, magkita tayo sa bahay?"
"I don't want to go home. Inom na lang tayo."
"Iuwi muna natin sasakyan ni Loel, mag convoy tayo, saan ka nagpark?"
"Basement." was her short reply.
Pinauna ni Thirdy si Bea, nakasunod sya, gusto man nya isakay si Bea sa kanya o si Bea sumakay sa sasakyan nya, di sila pwede magiwan ng sasakyan sa basement ng condo. Their phones are just turned on, tinawagan ni Thirdy si Bea just to make sure that she is okay. He knows that she has the tendency to drift away and he wanted to make sure she is okay just until they reach LGV. So far, so good.
"Huwag mo ibaba ang phone ha, just keep on talking if you want. I need you to focus, nasa kalye ka at di sayo yang sasakyan."
"WTH Thirdy, I know and I'm focused. You act as if nothing happened." Bea complained.
"Hindi ako ang nakawitness, Bei, I have a lot of questions. I don't know what you saw."
"Do you want me to start now?"
"Mamaya na, nagddrive tayo. Ibalik muna natin yang sasakyan ng Kuya mo ha and then sumakay ka na sa sasakyan ko."
When they reached LGV, Thirdy immediately parked and opened the gate for Bea to park the car inside. One of their maids welcomed them.
"Wala pa sila Mom?" She asked.
"Wala pa po, baka daw po gabihin sila."
"Si Kuya anjan?"
"Opo nasa entertainment room."
Bea looked at Thirdy, he nodded.
"I'll wait here."
Bea headed her Kuya who was surprised to see her.
"What happened to you, Bea, you look wasted."
"I'm flushed. I'm just returning the keys to your car lang, thank you. " She said as she handed the keys back to her Kuya.
"Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine. Sama muna ako kay Thirdy, he's outside."
"Okay, ingat kayo." Loel said kahit medyo makakunot noo dahil di nya maintindihan but he knows something is bothering her.
When Bea and Thirdy arrived in Cainta, no one was there.
"Huwag na tayo magtagal dito ha, alis tayo agad." Bea said.
Thirdy looked at her.
"Hindi tayo aalis."
"Sabi ko sayo inom tayo eh." Bea told him, pouting.
"Huwag na, dito na tayo sa bahay, nagdeliver ang Boozy kanina, sigurado wala pa gumagalaw nun at di nagpunta si Tito Randy."
Bea went straight to Thirdy's room, she knows her way around the house, alam na din nya na kung walang tao kanila Thirdy dun na sya sa kwarto ni Thirdy ppwesto.
Thirdy started to prepare their food and drink. He already knows what to bring Bea in any given situation.
When Thirdy went inside his room, he saw Bea already laying down on the bed, nakatingin sa kisame.
"Bea!"
She looked at him blankly and sat down. Thirdy offered the drink and placed the chips in between them.
"Do you believe me?"
"Believe na? You know I always believe you!"
"You act as if this was just about me, Thirdy!"
"Teka, bakit parang ako may kasalanan?"
"I didn't say that. But, look at you, inaalalayan mo ako, we should be in this together."
"We are, ano ba sinasabi mo? Magkasama tayo diba?" Thirdy gave her a wink.
"This is not a joke, Thirds."
"I know, sino ba nagsabi? Ano na plano mo?"
"I don't know, cancel the wedding? Break the engagement? Run away?"
"I really think we should talk to them, separately. You talk to Jigs and I'll talk to Julia."
"I really don't know, diko alam kung gugustuhin ko pang harapin si Jigs."
"Isabel, you have to do this, for your peace of mind, pati na din sa akin."
"I hate you, Thirdy!"
"But how did you find them? Don't get me wrong, gusto ko maintindihan kung ano nakita mo."
