Only Fools: The Final Stretch (Completed)

"Sinabi nya sa akin na ayaw na nya ako makatrabaho na hindi tama that we are working at the same place. He said I'm distracting him. So lahat ng oras ko tinuon ko sa trabaho hanggang napagod ako and locked myself at home and then I started blaming Thirdy. Hindi ako makakilos kasi kailangan ko alagaan si Thirdy when he was sick. Then he postponed our wedding, hindi na ako nagtanong."

They were having breakfast sa bahay nila Thirdy, nagluto si Mozzy para sa anak nya at kay Bea.

"Bakit ba tayo andito, this is my only rest day." Thirdy whispered to Bea.

"Thirdy naman."

"Bea, I have a lot of work -"

"Ilang buwan mong hindi kinausap Mama mo. Don't hurt her."

"Thanks for the great food, Ma."

"Anything for you, anak. Namiss ko ung parati tayong may mga handaan, we have become a big family. Who knows, baka madagdagan tayo. Maybe a little Thirdy or a little Bea perhaps?"

"Oo nga, ang cute nun." Mama Lars replied.

Thirdy was not happy at where the conversation was going.

"It's not going to happen. I don't want children." Thirdy said.

Nagulat si Bea sa sagot ni Thirdy and she was deeply offended.

"Anak, diba sabi mo children are wonderful, you used to like them."

"Noon un, Ma, ayoko na ngayon. So, pwede ba iclose na ntin ang topic na un?"

"Ngayon ko lang nalaman, Thirdy. Anyway, recently lang sya gumaling, I think, masyadong maaga para pagusapan ang tungkol dito."

"Bea, don't talk as if I'm not here, why do you do it all the time? I don't want kids and that's final. My life was at risk, hindi natin alam ang pwede pang mangyari, okay?"

"And my opinion doesn't matter, huh, Thirdy?"

"A child is planned by two people, tama ba ako? Kung hindi natin mapagkasunduan un and you will still insist, then we look for other solution, okay?" Nanggigil na si Thirdy sa usapan nila.

Mozzy and Mama Lars just kept quiet.

Bea walked out.

"Anak."

"No need to exaggerate, Bea." Thirdy said.

Mama Lars stood up and followed Bea.

"Thirdy, ano ba naman ginawa mo kay Bea. You don't have to react that way."

"Ma, hindi na ako bata. I can react the way I want!" He stood up and left as well.

"Ung mga away namin naging serious, then frequent, we started to swear constantly. Then sabi nya, he wanted me to leave, he doesn't want to see me anymore or hear anything about me. Sabi nya the farther I go, the better. Just like that, he crossed me out."

"Tapos nagpunta ka ng Italy?" Gian asked.

"Oo. I already had a feeling that I was pregnant but I found out nasa Italy na ako."

"Hindi mo ba naisip na sabihin sa kanya?"

"I did. I tried to contact him para sabihin sa kanya pero paano kung ayaw nya ako makita at ayaw nya magkaroon ng anak."

"So paano na ngayon, andito na sya. What does he want from you?"

"Alam mo para syang bata who found his old toy, sinusubukan nya ulit laruin."
