A Child's Best Interest (Completed)

"Kelan ko po makikita si Mama?"

"Ahh eh diba nasa Wizard School pa sya." Thirdy reminded his son. "Halika, sit here, I will tell you something."

The little boy obliged and sat down on the stool beside his Papa.

"I will be away for a business meeting, I need you to stay with your Grandma."

"Ayoko po dun."

"Alam mo, anak, when you were gone, she was worried about you and she couldn't eat."

"Totoo po?"

Ivan appeared announcing that their lunch has arrived.

"Tumawag pala si Ms. MJ." Ivan said

Thirdy just nodded.

He has decided to ask MJ to take Aston for the day while he fixes some things for the business. Nung hinatid nila si Aston kay MJ, they were warmly welcomed. MJ assured him na sya ang bahala sa anak nya.

Aston was treated well. Talagang nag enjoy si Aston with her while Thirdy attended to his busy schedule at work. Once in awhile, MJ sends videos and photos ng activity na ginagawa ni Aston. Magkakasama din silang 3 na nagdinner and pinatulog na din nila si Aston after.

The custody case was reopened. Instead of removing Bea's rights as a mother to Aston, she was granted some time with her son during the weekends.

Though Thirdy was not happy with this decision, he still obliged, for Aston.

On his way out from his office, nakasalubong nya si Anton sa basement.

"This is just the beginnin, lahat ng mahal mo eventually makukuha ko sayo." Anton warned him.

Thirdy just smirked at him and left.

Dinaanan ni Anton si Bea at work. When he noticed her lights were still turned on, he called her and invited her for dinner. 

"Parang you don't like Thirdy?" Bea asked him.

"What's there to like about him. He's arrogant and insecure."

"Pero madami nagsasabi ng good things about him."

"Hayaan na natin sya, this is our celebration kaya wag na sya pagusapan."

She remembered paano nya nalaman ang mga bagay about Thirdy and how she has infatuated by him. Lahat yun ay nakwento nya kay Anton.

She was still a student then when there was an accident in front of her school. From out of nowhere dumating si Thirdy and helped them, sya na din tumawag ng police. Simula nun, she has already developed a crush on him. Thirdy was everywhere.

Bea applied to be an Intern at the Ravena Group and was accepted. It was Maddie who first knew about it. She excitedly told Maddie about the good news, alam ng kaibigan nya ung laki ng crush nya for Thirdy.

In the morning, Bea received call from Thirdy asking her to meet her at the amusement park. She said yes after she talked to Anton.

"Basta wag ka pipirma o papayag sa kung anong gusto nya hanggang hindi tayo naguusap, okay? Call me right away kung may kailangan ka." Anton instructed Bea.

Nauna dumating si Bea and was surprised nang may tumawag sa kanya, it was Aston. Sobrang excited nun bata when he saw his Mom, he wandered habang nagusap si Thirdy and Bea.

"What would you like to talk to me about?"

Bago pa nakasagot si Thirdy, Aston took his parent's hand at inaya sumakay sa mga rides.

Habang nagpapahinga sila, Thirdy told Bea that he will sign the mediation papers and send it back to the court on the next business day. Bea got so excited realizing what that means, agad nyang binuhat si Aston. Masaya ang magina, while Thirdy was just watching them. Aston didn't ask his Mama anything, he may not know why Bea's reaction was like that but he gave her a kiss anyway.

Inabot na sila ng gabi. Nakatulog na si Aston while Bea was cradling him sa carousel. Thirdy watched them tenderly, Bea smiled back at him.

"Simula ng makilala ko ang anak ko, you never told me when you had him." Thirdy said.

Napatingin si Bea sa malayo.
