"Sigurado ka ba dito?" Anton asked Thirdy.
"What's wrong with wanting this with her?"
"Bro, not for anything else ha pero kasi wala ka naman kasiguraduhan sa kanya eh."
"Wala naman sigurado kahit saan, it's always a gamble and this is one risk I would take, in a heartbeat." Thirdy told Anton.
"Explain mo nga sa akin, ipaintindi mo sa akin, why Bea? Kasi talagang diko makita. She treats you rudely, she obviously isn't interested in this setup."
"Nagets ko naman. I mean, who would want this kind of set up in this day and age, diba? Open lang isip ko dahil siguro I like her, like really, really like her and I would do anything I can just to make this work."
"Gets mo naman na ang relationship, much more ang marriage is 2 tao? How can you make it work kung mag isa ka lang."
"Where's your faith, Anton. I said I will and I will!"
"Bilisan mo na pagkain mo nang makauwi na tayo! BAka pagdating mo, ung asawa mo eh nasa kung saang bar na naman!"
"Teka, sabi mo sinabihan mo si Maddie."
"Joke lang hahaha. Safe ka ngayon. Tulog pa ba?"
Thirdy checked his phone, nothing.
"Palagay ko tulog pa un, walang paramdam eh. Goods din naman, at least this place is done, ready na ako to show this to her plus andito na almost everything she needs."
"Goodluck, Bro. I really think you need it hahaha."
Thirdy looked at the surrounding one last time and closed the door with a smile on his face and a hope that this can be the start of all his plans coming true.
"Gising ka na pala." Thirdy said as soon as he saw Bea nasa dining.
"Saan galing itong food? Masarap." Bea replied.
"Niluto ko."
Napatingin si Bea sa kanya.
"Gagu?"
"Haha bakit ba ayaw mo maniwala? My wife isn't feeling good, and ako being an ideal husband, pagluluto ko ng masarap na pagkain ang Misis ko!"
"Kabag lang yan, Ferdinand! O ano nga pala ipapakita mo sa akin?"
"Lahat ng kinakain mo dito, home cooked. And when I say, home cooked, ibig sabihin dito niluto at ako nagluto." Thirdy explained habang pa simpleng umupo sa tabi ni Bea, his arms resting on Bea's thigh.
"Fine! Ikaw na magluluto araw araw, di ako marunong nyan."
"Alam ko, I do my homework and researched diligently. After mo kumain aalis tayo may papakita ako sayo."
"Ano na naman? Bakit kailangan pa umalis, wala ba kahit picture?"
"Trust me, magugustuhan mo ito."
"Tara na, tapos na ako maligo."
"Bango naman ng Misis ko!"
"Misis ka jan, Bea pangalan ko!"
"Bea Ravena, Misis Isabel Beatriz Isabel de Leon Ravena." Thirdy said as he winked at her.
Bea rolled her eyes.
Thirdy opened the door for her at dali dali tumakbo sa pwesto nya, baka magbago isip ng kasama nya.
"Matagal pa ba? Bakit ang layo naman?' Bea was starting to complain.
"Sandali na lang, mga 25 cartwheels, andun na tayo."
"Taas ng energy mo huh."
Thirdy was hopeful. Di naman nya inaasahan agad agad na magiging okay si Bea and he wanted to remain positive that this could be the start.
Huminto sila sa tapat.
"Ano meron?" Tanong ni Bea sa kanya.
Thirdy waved the keys smiling, Bea was looking at the keys.
"We have a new home!"
"Sino bumili, parents mo o parents ko?"
"Ang harsh, Misis!"
"Will you stop calling me, Misis! My name is Bea, B-E-A!"
"Hay sungit! Tara na nga sa loob so you can see what's inside."
Thirdy lead her. By the way Bea looked at the interior of the house, she seemed impressed. The house is spacious, not as big as their house but can still be altered eventually.
"The rooms are upstairs if you want to see."
"How many rooms are there?"
"For now, there are three, pwede naman dagdagan, madami pa space para ma improve itong bahay."
"Which one is my room?"
"OUR room." Thirdy corrected her.
"Pinagsasabi mo? Hoooy baka nakakalimutan mo, this is just an arranged marriage!"
"O paano pag binisita nila tayo dito?"
"Pag! Pag! Meaning hindi naman sila dito matutulog! Kung ano ano iniisip mo!"
"Wala naman akong gagawin sayo ah, pero okay din naman if you want, I won't decline."
Bea cinged.
"Show me na my room."
"Hay nako Beatriz! Tara na, ill show you you're room." Thirdy imitating her.
