Remember

CHAPTER 40

"Bakit pa siya bumalik?" Thirdy blurted out.

He was lying at his bed alone, he planned to sleep early though, but he failed.

"As she said, maraming opportunities doon, bakit bumalik pa siya dito?" Thirdy talked to himself.

"Malay mo bakasyon lang." Thirdy shrugged.

"But why am I so affected?" He lightly punched himself.

"Urghhhh!"

Thirdy rolled on his bed while covering his face using a pillow.

He's been doing that same sequence for about 4 hours already.

Rolling on the bed, talking to himself, punching his own face, asking dumb questions to himself, and repeat.

"That's it. Ayoko na." Thirdy groaned and dialed a number.

It took a while for the other line to answer.

"H-Hello?"

"Bacon!"

Bacon took his phone away from his ear when Thirdy suddenly shouted.

"Thirdy...is there an emergency?"

"I-I guess?" Thirdy said awkardly.

"What's up?"

"Is...Is Bea really here in the country na?"

A loud groan can be heard from the other side.

"Thirds...It is 2 o' clock in the morning! You woke me up early in the morning just for that question?!"

"I can't sleep, okay? The thought of her coming back keeps me bugging me."

Bacon sighed.

"You know I'm too busy during the day for our wedding, I need sleep. But you know I can't say no to you."

"Yes! Thank you Bacon!"

"Drop your questions bago kita tulugan."

Thirdy grinned.

"So...uh...how did you know that she's coming back?"

"Kat texted me."

"That's...all?" Thirdy scratched his head.

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing...uhm, do you know the reason why she came back?"

"No. Ask her yourself." Bacon yawned.

"Oh...okay. Thanks Bacon. Bawi ako sayo. Sleep tight, groom!" Thirdy chuckled.

"Yeah. Don't forget tomorrow, okay? Sleep tight if you can, best man." Bacon laughed and ended the call.

"I can only get answers to my questions from Bea herself." Thirdy repeated and repeated to himself as he dozes off to sleep.

"Bro! It's a beautiful day! Rise and shine!" Kiefer enthusiastically said.

Thirdy slowly opened his eyes and looked sharply at Kiefer.

"What's with that face? Puyat ka ba?" Kiefer furrowed his eyebrows.

Thirdy nodded and went back to sleep.

"Tsss" Kiefer grabbed a pillow and threw it directly to Thirdy's face.

"What the---problema mo?" Thirdy immediately stood up.
