Ravenas meet the De Leons
Bea has been enjoying the Philippines and as her boyfriend promised, everyday, they eat at different Filipino restaurants.
Today, the Ravenas, Valdez and the De Leons are going to eat dinner together at The Grid after closing the restaurant. Bea and Thirdy is already in the kitchen, one hour before the closing. Two days have passed and the kitchen staff are also in love with Bea and her kindness.
"Angel, Tito Elmer called hindi ko nasagot because I'm chopping carrots. Call them back nga" Thirdy ordered sa girlfriend niyang nang gugulo sa other kitchen staff.
Bea did get out of the kitchen and dialed his father's number.
"Hello, Dad! Bea here! Why did you call?" Bea said on the phone
"Oh you guys are together na? Okay will announce it nalang later" Elmer confidently say
"Oh okay. Take care, Dad!" Bea said and after that she ended the call and sees that pasara na yung restaurant. Some staff are already fixing the long table.
Thirdy and his hired Chefs will be cooking all the Grid's menu.
Valdez family together with Mariane are the first one to arrive. Since Chef Thirdy is till cooking, Bea is the one to entertain them.
"Ninong" She greeted Luis,
"Pretty naman ng inaanak ko." Luis and his wife Carmela greeted their goddaughter.
Bumeso naman si Mariane kay Bea "You're much prettier in person. Lucky Van!" Bea praises Van's fiancé.
"Thirdy is so unlucky" Van blurted out while using his phone na kaagad namang siniko ni Mariane at sinaway ni Carmela at Luis
"That's okay, Ninang and Ninong! Thats how sweet Van is" Pagtatanggol ni Bea sa kaibigan.
"Welcome to PH lil sister I never had" Van hugged her.
"wow biglang sweet" Bea teases him
"Uy Thirdy is right ah. Your tagalog is improving"
Bea just winked at him and told them to sit already. After a while the Ravenas came and after De Leons followed din naman.
Loel and Van's interaction is really funny
"LOOOOOELLL" "VANNNNNNN" they both shouted nung nakita ang isa't isa. They did a slow motion run towards each other
"I missed you, you were so small back then " Loel said mocking how small Van were back in the days. Everyone laughed
"You nga, you were so skinny back then" Laban naman ni Van
"Enough na. Let's eat" Det said para sawayin ang boys. All the kitchen staff are serving the food and smiling to everyone.
Everyone's enjoying the night, Van and Mariane are telling some details about the wedding to the oldies, Loel and Thirdy is talking about basketball, Dani is now reading a book that her Ate Bei gave her, while Kiefly are trying to look like they're listening to what Mariane is saying but they are actually flirting towards each other, but Bea? she's frowning while browsing her phone.
"Hey, why? Keep your phone muna kaya" tapik ni Thirdy sa leg niya.
"Emergency Mission" She said which made Elmer looked at Bea and Thirdy. Elmer can see worries in his daughter's eyes but can see pain on Thirdy's eyes.
"When?" Thirdy asked but Bei looked at him,
"Who says I'll go?" She smiled and hold his hand.
"WHO WANTS DESSERT?" Bea shouted
and almost everyone raised their hands
"Well boyfie will serve the dessert na"
"Oh wow" Thirdy said.
"Reklamo?" Bea frowned at him
"Nah." which made everyone laughed
"Ayyy under" Kiefer teases his brother
"You din kaya" Dani said closing her book
Thirdy went out of the kitchen with tray of cheese tarts, chocolate pudding, and dirty ice cream.
"Kuya Loel, there's dirty ice cream" Dani said pointing to the ice cream
"I wish it tastes like the avocado we ate in Luneta"
"You guys went to that park?" Bea asked
"Yes, go there with Thirdy. They have the best dirty ice cream."
"What? wait! How dirty?" and the whole table laughed, natawa nalang din si Bea kahit she's really confused. While munching their sweets, Elmer cleared his throat,
"I have an announcement to make." The whole table are looking at him now.
"Det and I are growing old already--"
Loel commented "enough with the drama go straight to the point, paps" which made everyone laughed again.
"We decided to move back here in the Philippines and manage our businesses here"
Everyone smiled and congratulated them, Some clapped.
"Wow, I will live here now" Loel shouted,
"You too?" Bea looks at her brother.
"Yea because of the house" Loel answered.
She just continued to eat her pudding because she didn't want to kill everyone's happiness but little did she know that there's someone who's watching her reaction.
Every people in the room has kachikahan except Bea. Det grabbed her daughter para sa usapan nila ni Carmela together with Mozzy.
"When will you fly back to NY?" Mozzy asked Bea.
"A few days, Tita. I have mission po" She smiled fakely.
"Akala ko you're not going?" Det asked looking at her daughter na nagtataka.
"Changed of plans" Masungit na sagot ni Beatriz
"But I'm sure Bea will visit us often because of The Grid and syempreeee Chef Thirdy" Tukso ni Carmela sa inaanak.
Bea just smiled
"Inaasar na nga namin si Thirdy about wedding patawa tawa lang" kwento ni Det.
"MAAAA" saway ni Bea at namula ito sa harap ni Mozzy.
"Okay lang. Kami din inaasar na siya" Mozzy tapped her shoulder kasi sobrang pula ni Bea.
When everyone's leaving, Thirdy is checking everything sa restaurant and Bea is just in one of the tables browsing her phone
"Why so moody, Angel?" he asked locking the kitchen.
"Nah. I told you. Sabay nalang ako kay Kuya." She said coldly utter atyaka tumayo para sumabay palabas kay Thirdy.
"Sungit ah. Period mo ba?" He jokingly asked
"Nah. just tired" she answered na nakasimangot pa din.
Thirdy pull her closer to him and kissed her forehead, inayos niya yung naka kunot na kilay ni Bea and whispered
"I love you ghost"
Bea broke their position and went inside the car.
