"Dad, you know I don't like relationships right?"
"Time for a change anak!" Elmer seriously said.
"He's not answering his phone. maybe he's now thinking the complicated life of dating a doctor" malungkot na sabi ni Bea
"or maybe he fell asleep because he's too tired."
"Oh shoot" nagulat na sabi ni Bea, napatigil din si Elmer.
"Anak, what is it?"
"Nothing dad can you drop me off in his apartment? Zel told me earlier that he's drenched because of the rain. Maybe he fell asleep because he's sick" She's overthinking now.
"It's late but okay. Check him out. please no grandkids yet" Elmer reminded her.
"Dad, he didn't even confess yet"
"Angel, if running in the rain so you can have a good lunch is not a confession for you, I don't know nalang talaga."
After a few minutes, they are already in front of his apartment.
"Goodluck. Don't ghost him, anak" Bea just nodded
"and there' are three rooms there. Sleep on the other room"
Bea chuckled
"take care, dad"
She rings the doorbell pero walang nasagot. She checked her watch its already 9:30pm.
"He should be done on his workout by this time" she thought.
She rings the doorbell this time madaming beses and someone inside shouted "wait"
When the door opens, she saw Thirdy. Red nose and freezing.
"What are you doing-" She feels his forehead na kinagulat ni Thirdy kaya di nito natapos sasabihin niya.
"Go to your room. You have a fever"
Thirdy is shocked and tiningan lang siya. Bea went straight to the kitchen and looks for something she can cook
Thirdy sitted in the stool near the island table.
"Hey, I said go to your room. You fell asleep coming from the hospital?" Bea is super serious.
"Why so mad?"
Bea stop from looking for the things she needed to cook and look at him
"You're sick because of me and I hate it" She went back to looking for all the things she need.
"What do you need?" Thirdy asked
"I need you to rest"
Thirdy chuckled,
"We can just ask for someone to deliver us food"
Bea's eyes twinkled at the idead and gets her phone, which made Thirdy laugh a little louder this time.
Instead of resting sa room niya Thirdy wear a jacket and socks, get his pillows and stay sa sofa and opened his TV for Chef's Table.
Bea is still on her phone and nung narinig niya na nagopen yung TV sinamaan niya ng tingin si Thirdy. The guy just showed him a peace sign. Napailing nalang si Bea.
