Serendipity

When Bea woke up, she noticed that she was already on her bed. She didn't know how or when she got to her bed. She decided to go down and contact Thirdy if he's already at home. When she was just about to hit send, she heard laughter coming from their dining area.

"Hay nako, Thirdy palabiro ka talaga. Umupo ka na nga dito para kumain."

It was her dad who was joking with Thirdy that they didn't even notice her come into the dining area. Elmer is really fond of Thirdy eversince Bea introduced him to her family.

"Oh andito na pala ang batang antukin. Halika na Bei, kumain ka na dito." It was her kuya Loel who saw her first. She greeted everyone good morning before she got to her seat.

"Don't you have 7am class today, Thirds? Akala ko umuwi ka na."

"Today's sunday, Bea."

"Oh ano naman?"

"I don't have classes today diba?"

"Ay talaga ba, sorry I didn't know."

"Pero we'll be having our daily training naman mamayang gabi."

"Kung ganun pala you can come with us?" All of them looked at Det. "We have this routine na pag walang agenda ang lahat ay mag gogolf kami."

"Good idea! Sumama ka samin, Thirdy. Bea said you can play golf din daw bukod sa basketball eh." Elmer added.

"Nakakahiya naman po, kayong pamilya yung magkasama, baka makaistorbo lang po ako."

"What are you saying? You're already a part of our family, Thirds." Loel said. They all smiled at him and he can't do anything but agree.

"Sige po, kukuha lang po ako ng damit sa bahay then balik na po ako dito." Thirdy said and smiled back. He looked at Bea and she just laughed at him.

"So kamusta naman ang basketball, Thirds? Champions na ba kayo this season?"

"It's too early to speak po eh tito. Marami pa pong pwedeng mangyari although patapos na po ang second round pero were trying our best po to win every game."

"Dad, what if manood tayo ng Ateneo vs La Salle? Yun yung game niyo next weekend diba?" Loel faced Elmer first before asking Thirdy.

"Yes kuya, Ateneo La salle next week." Bea said with a full mouth.

"Ah eh, that's a good idea po. I'll leave the tickets with Bea nalang po." Thirdy said nervously.

"Drop the 'po' with me, Thirds. Feeling ko ang tanda tanda ko na tuloy." Loel joked. Thirdy shyly nodded his head.

"Sige, sina balae ba ang katabi namin diyan?" Det asked.

"Mom! Ano ba yan! Balae ka diyan." Det just laughed at Bea's reaction.

"Yes po tita, sila po ang katabi niyo if ever manonood kayo."

"Ma? Pa? I'm home na po!" He shouted as he entered their home. He found his family at the dining table eating, together with his ate Ly.

"Oh Thirdy san ka nanggaling kagabi? Inantay ka ng manong mo pero di ka daw umuwi." Bong inquired.

"Kina Bea lang po, Dad."
