"OKay ka lang?" Thirdy asked Bea nung makauwi sila.

"I was scared. Mabuti andito ka."

Thirdy just looked at her.

"Totoo un." Bea assured him.

"Pero andito naman na ako talaga, hindi ka na magiisa." Thirdy assured her. "I'm here at magkasama na tayo sa lahat ng probema. Alam mo ba kung ano minsan naiisip ko?"

"Ano?"

"Pag 25 na si Amara matuto na sya tumakas with some young guy. Or if she decides she want to go to a bar, she will come and ask us. Papayagan natin sya pero nakasunod tayo sa bar."

"25?"

"Okay 18, pero palagay ko ung anak natin mga 25 pa sya magpupunta ng bar."

"Nangangarap ka? Eto ang naiisip kong future natin. We will raise our daughter as civilized people, un lang."

Sumali si Amara sa kanila.

"Gutom ka na ba, Amara?"

"Yes po, Daddy."

"Ano kakainin natin?"

"Strawberries." She said and grinned obviously teasing her parents.

Thirdy looked at her with a straight face.

"I was joking po. May kukunin lang ako, babalik po ako."

"Why don't we make an agreement?" Bea proposed. "Let's make decisions together, we will talk about everything."

"Okay, sige." Thirdy keeps looking at his watch. "Asan na ba mga taong ito?"

"Huh? Sinong hinihintay mo?"

Just in time nagdatingan mga gamit ni Thirdy.

"Ano yan?" Sigaw ni Bea.

"Mga gamit ko, I'll be staying here for 2 weeks diba?"

"8-9 luggages? Okay ka lang ba?"

"Well, remind lang kita na bahay natin ito for the next 15 days."

"Mama Lars!" Sigaw ni Amara.

"Ano ginagawa ni Mama Lars dito?" Tanong ni Bea kay Thirdy.

"Si Mama Lars lang yan, Bei, don't panic."

"Hello, Bea."

"Hello, Mama Lars, ano ginagawa mo dito?"

"Susunduin ko sa Amara." Mama Lars said.

"Saan mo dadalhin?"

Thirdy was not talking.

"Si Thirdy na magsasabi sayo."

"So, Thirdy?"

"Ah pipili sila ng school." Sagot ni Thirdy.

"Mommy, can I go po?"

"See, our daughter wants to go to school." Thirdy said, grinning.

"Of course, baby, you can go." Sagot ni Bea kay Amara.

"Bilisan mo na, Mama Lars!" Sigaw ni Thirdy sa kanya.

Thirdy was invited for lunch by Billie, ayaw sana ni Thirdy but Bea insisted. Pagbalik nya mainit na naman ang ulo nya kay Thirdy after they saw Billie's post na dalawa lang sila.

"You stay here for 15 days, aalis ako." Bea announced.

"Saan ka naman pupunta?"

Bea started walking out of the house, sinundan sya ni Thirdy.
