"Medyo dark ng statement mo, huh?" Thirdy told her.
"Dark din naman sya so quits lang."
"Yaya, gising na sa Isabel." Thirdy shouted.
"Eto na breakfast ng paborito kong bisita." Yaya Mags said as she handed Bea's breakfast.
"Wow Yaya, with matching orange juice pa." Bati ni Bea.
"Xempre, bilin ni Thirdy."
"I have the perfect bestfriend talaga." Sabi nya sabay pisil sa pisngi ni Thirdy.
"Tigilan mo nga ako. Bilisan mo jan, ihahatid kita sa inyo, I have a meeting."
"Meeting with whom? For what?"
"Baka nakakalimutan mo, I'm back for good, ano, hindi na ako magttrabaho?"
"Why don't you focus on your business?"
"I want to do other things, alam mo yan."
"Yeah, like being Julia's husband, inspite and despite?"
"I don't know yet, okay? I'll decide later and I'll let you know."
"Whatever, Ferdinand!"
"Dyan ka na maliligo na ako. Sasabay ka ba?"
"No, Kuya will pick me up, dadaan lang daw sya sa school."
"Okay, anjan si Ate Ly if kailangan mo kausap."
"Yessir."
Tapos na si Thirdy mag ayos pero si Bea nasa dining table pa din, kausap si Yaya Mags.
"Naligo ka ba ng maayos?" Sita ni Bea.
"Ano naman akala mo sa akin."
"Parang ang bilis mo kasi eh. Dry shampoo lang ginamit mo noh hahaha." Bea teased him.
"Ikaw ang matagal, mag iisang oras na nakaupo ka pa din jan at kumakain."
Bea looked at her watch. She must have enjoyed her time that she lost track.
"Ay oo nga noh, si Yaya Mags kasi eh."
"Aalis na ako, message mo na lang ako ha. Si Jigs ba nagtext na sayo?"
"Nope."
"Sige aalis na ako, kita tayo mamaya."
"Kung magkikita. I have practice tomorrow."
"Let's see, baka pwede kita icheck sa practice."
"Tatay, Thirds?"
"Dyan ka na!" He said as he kissed her on her forehead.
Bea smiled. With Thirdy around, she wouldn't have to question herself if she was worth it, she was always special and Thirdy makes sure she knows it.
Lumabas si Ly sa kwarto, naglalakad dahan dahan, naramdaman ni Bea kaya she looked into her direction.
"Yay! Kamusta ka na Ate buntis. Laki na ng tyan mo." Bea greeted her, went up to her and rubbed Ly's belly.
"Oo nga, minsan ang hirap na matulog sa gabi, namimiss ko na matulog ng nakadapa."
"Kumain ka na? Sarap ng pagkain na gawa ni Yaya Mags." Bea said.
"Oo naman haha kanina pa ako gising noh."
"Ate Ly, may tanong ako."
"Game!"
"Hypothetical question lang ha. If before you married Kuya Kief you found out he was cheating on you, papakasalan mo pa ba sya?"
Ly just looked at her. She thinks she knows where the conversation was going.
"Naku, Bea, diko alam isasagot ko jan, parang ang hirap."
"Mahirap because?"
"Kasi alam mo naman si Manong, hin di sya ganun. Bakit ba pumasok yan sa isip mo, ikakasal na kayo ni Jigs diba?" Hindi pinahalata ni Ly na may alam sya.
Bea stood up, walked to and fro.
"Bea?" Tawag ni Ly sa kanya. "may gusto ka ba sabihin?"
Bea looked at her and went back to sit beside her, took her hand, "Jigs is cheating on me, Ate."
It came as no surprise but Ly didn't know how she can go through the conversation knowing that Jigs was cheating on her with Julia.
"Sige, ikwento mo sa akin lahat para maintindihan ko." Ly said.
Bea started her story, omitting Julia's name and just referring to her as "her", Ly didn't ask and let Bea talk.
After a few minutes, the doorbell rang.
"Si Kuya na ata yan, alis na ako, Ate Ly. See you again. Tawagan ko na lang si Thirdy mamaya."
"Sige, Bei, hindi na kita ihahatid sa labas ha."
"Yup, okay lang, pahinga ka na." She told her as she kissed her goodbye and rubbed Ly's tummy.
When she got out, she was surprised to find her boyfriend outside.
"O Jigs, how did you know I was here."
"Galing ako sa inyo, Loel said andito ka daw sabi ko ako na susundo sayo."
"Okay. Sige tara na, I need to talk to you din."
The travel from Cainta to LGV was filled with silence. Bea can see Jigs glancing at her from time to time but she wasn't bothered, she didn't care at all.
When they arrived, sinalubong sya agad ni Loel.
"Si Jigs na pinasundo ko dumating sya hinahanap ka eh." Loel explained.
"It's okay, Kuya, no worries. "
Maya maya lang nakita na ni Bea si Jigs na papasok ng bahay pagkatapos magpark ng sasakyan.
"Have a seat, Jigs, I think we should talk." Bea started as he leads him to the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Jigs worriedly asked him. " Are you okay?"
"Perfectly fine, actually but I have decided to postpone our wedding."
Jigs was surprised.
"W-what? Why? I'm sure we can make adjustments if you're thinking about your practice and all tsaka we have a planner diba, that's her job."
"I'll ask Miss Pat to help me talk with the people we have made arrangements with. Puntahan ko na din ung church and venue bukas and ung sa catering. We were supposed to have food tasting pala sa hotel sa Monday, I'm canceling that, too."
Tuloy tuloy ng salita si Bea na parang walang naririnig sa protesta ng nobyo.
"That's just what I want to tell you. I'll go upstairs na, I wanna sleep." She said as she made her way upstairs leaving Jigs.
