Only Fools (Completed)

"It looks perfect on you." Thirdy complimented her.

"Thank you. Labas muna ako, puntahan ko Mama mo."

She went straight to the main garden kung asan andun ang Mama ni Thirdy.

"Di ka pa ba magbibihis?" Mozzy asked Bea.

"Nakaayos na po ako, ito na isusuot ko."

Mozzy sarcastically laughed.

"Sabi ko na nga ba. Lars pakitawag nga ang glam team natin, she must be at par with our family."

"What's wrong with my dress?"

" Of course hindi mo alam what's wrong, mapapahiya ka lang."

" Walang pwedeng magpahiya sa akin. This is me and you will see me a lot. See you around." Bea said as she left.

Napangiti si Mama Lars, he was very impressed with how Bea responds kahit nung una pa lang nilang pagkikita.

Naglakad lakad si Bea sa garden hanggang umabot sya sa isang maliit na garden na mukhang cozy and malayo sa mga tao. Umupo sya dito. Nabigla sya nung may marinig syang boses ng lalake.

"Hello. May isa na namang tao who doesn't like crowds." Sabi sa kanya.

It was Thirdy's Papa. Hindi nya kilala si Bea, hindi din sya kilala ni Bea. Napansin ni Bong ang lungkot sa mata ng dalagang kausap nya.

"Ano problema?" He asked her.

"Wala naman po, but I think I have done things that are not for me."

"Makinig ka. Hindi kita kilala and I don't know what you have done but whatever you have started, kailangan tapusin mo, and I know that you can. You seem to be a strong and smart woman."

Bea smiled at what he heard from the man.

"Thank you, babalik na ako dun. Hindi po ba kayo pupunta sa party?"

"Ah haha hindi, I'm better here."

"Nice meeting you po." Bea said.

"Me, too."

The guests have arrived one by one. Dumating na din Tita ni Bea and her friends. Thirdy introduced his Mama to Bea's aunt.

"Your father is not joining us today, mataas ang bp. Pakibilisan lang ang pagbabalikan nyo ni Julia para matahimik na tayong lahat."

Dumating na din si Julia with Sam na sinalubong naman nila Thirdy and Bea.

"Dika pa nag aayos, Bea? Tutulungan na kita." She offered.

She laughed.

"Nakaayos na ako, ito na suot ko."

"Ah ganun ba, kulang kasi ung jewelry mo but I like your dress, very sexy."

Bea just smiled at her but obviously annoyed.

"Sya nga pala, ung mga reporters will be very interested to know a lot of things about you, like, your job, about your education, things like that." Julia told her.

"Tell them kung ano ang gusto nilang malaman about Bea, they can ask me." Thirdy said with authority.

Julia just gave him a smirk.

"Pwede mo naman sabihin that I'm a florist." Bea said and left.

"May mali ba sa sinabi ko?" Julia asked.

Thirdy looked for Bea, naabutan nya malapit sa stable.

"Are you upset?" He asked.

"Bakit ba mga tao are only interested in their status, kung gaano kadami ang pera nila and how popular they are in the society."

"Don't let that get into you. Alam mo ang goal mo, don't lose it."

Bea smiled.

"Balik na tayo sa party?" She asked.

Before leaving, dumating si Mama Lars.

"Thirdy." At inabot ang isang box.

Mama Lars opened it and Bea saw a beautiful necklace. She was impressed.

"I think ito na lang ang kulang."

They met with Mr. Almadro first before proceeding to the party. Nung dumating sila, nagpresent na si Jules and Anton.

"This is really impressive, Thirdy, pero nakapag commit na ako kay Isaac, this makes it his project now. I'm really sorry. But hey, congratulations sa inyong dalawa."

Thirdy was very disappointed that he went back to the party right after Mr. Almadro left. Derecho syang naglakad towards Isaac's direction. Bea pulled him.

"Bitawan mo ako." Thirdy softly demanded.

"Sayaw tayo." Bea asked.

"May aayusin pa ako."

Bago pa makarating si Thirdy sa kinatatayuan ni Isaac, napaalis na ito ni Julia at sinalubong si Thirdy.

"I already asked him to leave, wag mo na habulin."

Everyone was doing fine at the party. Maddie became Anton's new friend. Bea's aunt was able to have a brief conversation with Thirdy's mom. Deanna and Cait have made new friends with people from Thirdy's office. Bea was left at the bar. Deanna noticed kaya inaya nya mga kaibigan nya na lumapit at samahan sya.

"Bakit mag isa ka dito, Ate?" Deanna asked her.

"Bakit ba ako na engage?" She asked her friends. "Parang tinatapon ko na buong buhay ko dito, bata pa ako madami pa ako pwede gawin. Si Thirdy parang robot and I will be married to a robot!"

Thirdy appeared from behind, narining nya lahat ng sinabi ni Bea about him. Sinesenyasan na nila si Bea na tumahimik but she still kept on talking. When Bea understood what her friends were trying to tell her, she looked behind her and found a grinning Thirdy.

"Dun na muna kami, Bei." Sabi ng mga kaibigan nya and left her with Thirdy.

Lumipat sa harap nya si Thirdy. Bea was trying to avoid looking at him.

"Do you want to dance?" Thirdy asked.

Napatingin si Bea sa kanya.

"Ewan ko. Do you really want to dance or just part of the game?"

"Part of the game." Thirdy responded.

They walked towards the stage and danced.

Nakatingin lahat ng guests, including Julia. Sam was looking at Julia, studying her every reaction.

"Galit ka pa ba?" Thirdy asked her.

"Yes."

"Nagsisisi ka pa din ba na na engage ka sa akin kahit kunwari lang?"

"Yes. Ikaw hindi?"

"Hindi."

"Bakit hind?" Bea was confused.

"Wala ako pinagsisihan sa mga agreements and contracts na ginawa ko at pinasok ko, okay?"

Bea just looked at her, Thirdy stared back as if they were the only people on earth.
