Only Fools: The Final Stretch (Completed)

2

While Jules and Anton were having their alone time, the doorbell rang, it was Thirdy. Ayaw sana papasukin ni Anton but eventually was left alone with him. Lumayo muna si Jules na tamang tama naman when her phone rang.

B: Jules, you have to help me. Why didn't you tell me?

J: What do you mean?

B: Thirdy was here.

J: What?

"Nakita mo si Bea?" Anton asked.

"Oo, nakabalik na sya from Italy."

B: I swear, I froze nung makita ko sya.

"Nung una akala ko I was hallucinating."

B: Parang tumigil paghinga ko ng ilang seconds.

"What's strange is that after so many years parang wala naiba."

B: After so many years, a lot has changed.

"She was almost in my life, ewan ko ba."

B: Hindi sya kailangan bumalik.

J: Don't worry, I'll make sure na hindi na sya babalik. Besides, the project is mine.

B: Okay.

"Naintindihan kita bro, it was a difficult situation but you have already made a decision years ago. Huwag ka na bumalik sa hotel para hindi mo na sya makita ulit." Anton suggested.

---------------------------------------

The following morning while Bea is working, Thirdy greeted him.

"Bakit andito ka?"

"Hindi ko nakausap ung may ari kahapon kaya ngayon ko sya kakausapin."

"Tapos aalis ka na?"

"Bakit ba nagmamadali kang umalis ako?" Thirdy asked her.

"Didn't you suggest not to see each other?"

"Matagal na un."

"So, ano, you changed your mind and I would have to adjust?"

"Pwede naman kung ayaw mo ng problema."

Tinanggal ni Thirdy ung petal sa buhok ni Bea.

"Bea, why don't we try again?"

"What?"

"Subukan natin ulit magusap. Hindi maganda ung paguusap natin kahapon."

"Kinalimutan ko na ung usapan natin kahapon. Madami ako kailangan gawin today."

"Okay, I'll be around. Pagisipan mo ung sinabi ko."

Bea immediately called Cait to warn her and left a specific instruction to make sure na hindi makikita ni Thirdy si Amara.

While Thirdy was meeting with the owner Billie, nakita nya si Bea na dinalhan ng coffee ng isang lalake and obviously hindi worker or waiter ang nagdala sa kanya judging by the way he touched her. Habang naguusap si Thirdy and Billie, nagkaroon ng idea si Thirdy which he shared with Billie.

"Ate Bei, ung architect na magrerenovate ng hotel andito, si Thirdy Ravena. Sabi nya you need to make a presentation daw kung gusto mong ikaw ang mag design ng landscape ng hotel. pag nagustuhan daw nya, ikaw na ang gagawa." Sj said.

Bea couldn't believe what she's hearing.

"Kung gusto nya? Gusto nino, ni Thirdy Ravena? Asan sya?" She said. She immediately stood up to look for him.
