Loel is now in the Philippines enjoying all the food and Thirdy is helping him to explore the city lang muna while busy pa sa restaurant, he's on facetime with his sister.

Bei, the food here is great. Hindi ka pa talaga magpapahinga kahit for a week. I'm sure the hospital will understand.

Kuya, I really wanna be part of Thirdy's success but I want to make my own name .

Okay, fine but remember also that Thirdy always choose you over anything ah. Just saying.

Ugh. I'm so guilty now!

Go here na kasi Beatriz.

I don't know if I can, Kuya!

Okay! whatever but just so you know mom and dad will visit here and check our houses.

yeah! They told me about it.

take care sis and go make lambing to Thirdy. He's always tired.

Yea. No need to say  it.
-------------------------------------------------------

Right after that Bea texted Thirdy words of encouragement so that her boyfriend will be super inspired to work. After texting him, she got up on her bed and wear her clothes and go to the hospital.

Bea is currently a resident doctor in Lenox Hill Hospital. Everytime her colleagues ask,

"Why not rest even for a week? You just graduated, Beatriz"

but she'll just smiled. Bea's experience in the Medical Missions made her so good. She's everyone's favorite in the hospital right now. Even the nurses adore her.

Thirdy's opening was a huge hit. Everything is nice about the restaurant. The ambiance, the food, even the service.

The Ravenas and Loel met on the opening, just like Bea, they love him. Mas funny si Loel kaya naman hindi naging mahirap makipag close sakanya.

Loel' day will go like this, he'll jog in the morning, book a grab to go to The Grid to annoy Thirdy and the staffs there, making the kitchen laugh, eat there and then goes back to his house, call his mom or Bea to update and sleep, then at night , goes back to the Grid to annoy him again before the restaurant closes.

He's now on the resto together with Dani who's really bored also.

"Kuya Loel, how's ate Bea?" Dani asked

"Workaholic and Kj! all she does is work" Loel replied.

"Kuya din naman. You think they're on a fight?" Dani asked,

Loel just realized that maybe Thirdy is tampo that Bea didn't surprise him sa opening. Magoone week na yung restaurant and Thirdy is so hands on sa kitchen kahit may Chefs naman don na alam na yung gagawin.

"Ooooof. Maybe. What's your theory?" Loel asked Dani,

Both of them sitted on the bar area of the restaurant acting like they're solving a mystery or something.

"I feel like since Ate Bea is really busy on her duties, Kuya worked so much too kaya even may mga workers siya, nakikigulo siya sa kitchen para madistract siya. Kaya ayon they fought because they don't spend time together na. Kuya's not even checking his phone ata"

Loel and Dani made a thinking face,

"Ako ang theory ko, nagtampo siya because Bea didn't show up on the opening kasi even Bea has reasons, I feel like he's still hoping. Thirdy kasi always do that to Beatriz eh baka he wants also Bea to do that."

and the two stop talking and sealed their mouths when Thirdy went out of the kitchen.

"Oh you two are still here? I'll be working late." Thirdy looked at them pero mukha silang nakakita ng multo.

"What's with the faces?" Thirdy asked again, But the two just smiled. "Creeps niyo. Dani, go and help Loel to explore the city, tour him around"

Dani looked at Loel "Okay, Kuya! I want Ice Cream! We should get dirty ice cream"

"What is that?" Loel's curious,

"Just follow me. We will go in a park. Parks here always have dirty ice cream."

"How dirty can that be?"

Dani laughed and booked a grab.

________________________________

Among the two theories, none of it is right. Thirdy and Bea are strong. They keep on chatting each other, they're on face time at night, and they encourage each other to work.

Just like right now,

"How's my ghost?" Thirdy will always ask,

"Excuse you? Kuya brainwashed you na?" Bea is now on doctors quarters taking a break

"Hahaha You're my ghost, my angel, my everything, so stop the drama. How are you?"

"Fine. I miss you" Bea said sadly

"Uy don't do that face baka magbook ako ng flight papaunta dyan" Thirdy warned her,

"Ayy speaking of flights, Mom and dad will visit you and Kuya pala. They'll be flying tomorrow"

"Yea. Loel told me. My family is still here, they wanted to know the De Leons daw"

"That's super sad. Ako lang absent" She pouted.

"That's okay, Doc! I understand. I'll visit you soon. Okay?" Thirdy comforted her,

"Oh okay. I'll go back na. I love you, ghostbuster!"

"I love you too!" Thirdy said

and they ended the call.

They've been like this for 4 days already. At first, it sucks to be so far away but I guess if a person loves you, they'll do whatever it takes to keep the relationship.

But Beatriz? She lied.
