It comes in three. But in Rj's case, it happened in 3s.
He ran down the stairs to have breakfast when he accidentally stepped on the rag that Pining was using to clean the floor. He slipped and lost his balance, causing him to bump against the kitchen door. He hit the door rather strongly that one of the glass panes of the French-styled door broke. Rj suffered a cut on his eyebrow from hitting the door and a gash on his leg when the glass crashed on the floor.
That afternoon, he went down to the kitchen again to look for something to eat.
"Pining! Nasaan na yung Mary Grace ensaymada?"
"Yung nasa red box?"
"Oo....may isa pang naiwan dun kahapon..."
"Ahh....si-nerve ko kay Miss Maine...merienda..."
"Eh anong kakainin ko?"
"Ayan o...may prutas...mamili ka....or gusto mo gawan kita ng pandesal with peanut butter...."
"Gusto ko ng ensaymada!" he screamed.
Just then, Maine came into the kitchen, carrying her plate and glass. She turned to look at Rj, who was standing by the refrigerator, and deliberately licked her fork with gusto before turning to the sink to wash up.
"Naku! Miss Maine...ako na dyan...." Pining said as she rushed beside Maine by the sink.
"Hindi na....gawan mo nalang si Rj nung merienda nya....ako na bahala dito..."
"Sigurado ka?"
"Oo naman..."
"Okay..." Pining left Maine by the sink and went to the other side of the kitchen. Rj stormed off and went into the den.
When his parents arrived in the early evening, Rj saw a cake box being brought in by Jose, their driver. He imagined having a slice for dessert.
"Miss Maine....pinapabigay po ni Ma'am para sa Tatay nyo daw....ihatid ko na rin po kayo...."
"Ay naku! Salamat....salamat po Kuya...."
Dismayed, Rj went into his Mom's room. "....it's her dad's birthday...." She said as soon Rj appeared by the bathroom door.
"But mom...." he complained.
"Hay ewan ko sa yo, Joaquin....wag kang madamot...." His mom went out of the bathroom to go downstairs to talk to Maine.
"Daaaad...."
"What?....I think you like her, son...."
"Huh?"
".....lately, you've been talking about her non-stop...." His dad chuckled.
Rj huffed out of the room; his dad just shakes his head, chuckling.
