Anton came back with groceries and medicines.
"Binilhan na din kita ng vitamins."
"Hindi naman ako sakitin." Depensa ni Bea.
"I didn't say you are sickly, mabuti nang handa."
"Anton, ahh, you actually don't have to do this for me, sobrang bait mo sa akin."
"Bea, hindi kita pinipilit ngayon. Ang gusto ko lang is for you to give me the chance so I can take care of you. I'm sure, eventually matutunan mo din ako mahalin pakonti konti."
Aston stayed with Bea when she was already feeling better. One day kinulit nya ang Mama nya para sila magpunta sa Papa nya.
"Sige pero if your Papa is busy, ako na lang makakasama mo for dinner, okay?"
"Sige po."
Kumatok sila sa unit ni Thirdy and was surprised to find MJ there who opened the door for them.
"Ah pasensya na, nangulit kasi si Aston makita Papa nya."
Aston immediately went to his Papa.
"Halika na, anak, tayo na lang mag dinner." Aya ni Bea sa kanya.
"Magdidinner din kami bakit hindi na kayo sumama sa amin, dun lang naman kami sa taas." Thirdy announced.
Father and son prepared the bbq while MJ and Bea had a chitchat. When the food was cooked, tinawag na sila ng bata and shared dinner, just the four of them. Nauna na din umalis si MJ, sabay sabay na din bumalik sa unit sila Thirdy. Before even reaching Thirdy's unit, Aston complained of stomach pains.
"Dalhin na natin sya sa ospital."
"It may just be something he ate." Sagot ni Bea.
She continously asked her son para malaman kung kailangan ba dalhin sa ospital.
"Dadalhin ko muna sya sa toilet." Bea said.
True to her word, the little boy just needed to dump.
"Okay na sya, baka sa nakain lang nya hindi sya natunawan or something. Bigyan mo sya nito if he complains again."
"Teka, what if dito ka na matulog, just in case sumakit ulit tyan ni Aston."
"Sige." Bea agreed.
Nagpahangin muna si Bea sa balcony, sumunod si Thirdy. Bago pa makalapit si Thirdy, his phone rang. Bea overheard the conversation. Nang matapos, lumapit si Thirdy and gave her the orange juice na dinala ng maid.
"Parati ba kayo ganun magina?"
"Hindi naman." Thirdy replied.
"I never met your father." When she realized what she was saying, she immediately apologized.
"It's okay," Thirdy answered. "Nung bata ako, para akong si Aston, walang tatay. Kinasal sa iba ang Daddy ko and my mom never married. What about your family?"
"Walang special sa pamilya ko, we are just all ordinary." Sagot ni Bea.
"I still want to know."
She told him about her parents, what they are doing for a living.
Finally Anton has decided to take over their family's business. Their family business is considered to be one of the greatest competitor of Thirdy's family business. Anton's father is not doing well anymore so he decided to take over even if it means clashing with Thirdy on many occasions.
Nagulat si Bea when she found Thirdy standing infront of her apartment.
"What are you doing here? May nangyari ba kay Aston?"
"Wala."
"Teka, bubuksan ko lang ang pinto." Bea said as she excused herself.
"Let's have dinner together." Thirdy blurted.
Nagulat si Bea sa narinig nya.
"Saan?" She asked.
"Dyan sa bahay mo."
"I wanted to find out how you raised my son all these years."
In the morning, Mozzy called Thirdy when news of his engagement to MJ started appearing and circulating in the paper and magazine.
T: Ma, sinabi ko na sa'yo hindi ako mag aasawa! At bakit ka ba nagbabasa ng mga ganyang balita?
M: I already have 4 friends calling me to congratulate, hindi ba ako maaalarma nun?
T: Gawa gawa lang yan ng mga reporters, lahat yan kasinungalingan!
He confronted Ivan after the call ended.
"Ano yan, bakit may ganyang balita? Diba inayos na yan?"
"Binayaran daw ni MJ yan to spread that rumors according dun sa kakilala ko sa industry."
Papasok na si Bea sa office nang makasalubong nya si Maddie.
"Bea! Look at this!" She said as she handed the newspaper to Bea.
Bea was stunned.
"They're getting married."
"I have contacted 18 newspapers, 14 magazines and 29 websites in total, tomorrow wala na mga balita about your engagement to MJ." Ivan told Thirdy.
"Salamat. Tell MJ to have dinner with me at the Hilton tonight at 6:30." Thirdy instructed.
MJ came on time. She cancelled all her plans for the day and excitedly met with Thirdy. She started talking about the engagement rumors, apologized and explained that she doesn't know kung paano naisip ng mga reporters that they will soon get married.
Thirdy ordered the most expensive wine, MJ was impressed.
"What's the occasion, may kailangan ba tayo icelebrate?" She asked, excitedly.
"I'll tell you later, tapusin muna natin pagkain natin."
MJ smiled at him, sweetly.
Nang matapos sila mag dinner, inaya nya si MJ magpahangin.
While walking, agad hinawakan ni MJ ang braso ni Thirdy.
"Nakakapagod na maglakad, dito na tayo. May sasabihin ka ba sa akin kaya mo ako dinala dito?" She asked while holding his hands.
"Let's break up." Thirdy said, point-blank.
Binitiwan ni MJ ang kamay nya.
"Why?"
"Sa lahat ng ayaw ko ay ung pinagsusungalingan ako. Did you under estimate me or over estimated yourself? The rumors, the scandals, lahat un gawa mo."
"Thirdy, that's not true! Alam mong hindi ko magagawa un."
Thirdy just stared at her.
She begged but he didn't care.
When MJ felt that her actions would lead to nothing, she started to walk away.
On his way home, he received a call from Bea.
B: Matutulog ka na ba?
T: Hindi pa. bakit gising ka pa?
B: Pwede ka ba bukas?
T: Ano meron?
******************************************
