Thirdy is a little bit stressed out. He's now reviewing the monthly report of The Grid in Alabang.
Bea walked inside his study and smiled widely at her husband. When Thirdy noticed her, he glanced at her. "Yes, Angel?"
"hihi. papaalam lang" She smiled cutely
Thirdy sighed and looks at his laptop again. "Where this time?"
"Thailand lang, Love" She went closer to him at niyakap ang asawa na parang naglalambig.
"Kakauwi mo lang two weeks ago. Try to rest naman" He said sadly
"Uhm actually, your son wanted to come with me." She spilled the reason bakit gusto niyang pumayag si Thirdy. Most of the time kasi she's just saying kay Thirdy saan siya pupunta and her husband will just allow him but this time, she asked
"Angel naman! Sobrang delikado" Thirdy is now facing her. He moves her swivel chair allowing Bea to sit in his lap. She locked her arms in his neck and made face
"Stop that pacute, Beatriz!" He said and touched her nose
"Ganito nalang. How about a family vacation. While i'm serving, magstay kayo somewhere nice ng mga bata and then i'll follow"
He smiled "You know talaga how to get me no?"
She gigled and gave him a peck.
"I love you! I'll book our flights" she stood up but Thirdy grab her elbow making her fall in his lap again.
"What?" She asked
but Thirdy didn't answer and hug her.
"May problem ba?" She asked
"Hays. I miss you lang big time."
"Huy, remember what I told you?" She's now facing him but Thirdy isn't removing his arms sa may stomach ni Bei.
"Told me about what?"
"About me not coming to Missions"
"Hey, no. okay naman na yon."
"Then why so clingy?"
"Wala I just badly need your warmth."
Bea didn't answer and kissed his cheek
"Don't stress yourself sa business, Love."
"Kailangan. Iza will be on college na in a few years. Mag hihigh school na din bunso natin"
"Ano ka ba? My savings are for their education na. Don't worry about it Thirds." She assured him.
"I don't worry about them. Pano yung future babies natin?"
She stood up "Hoy. Ayoko na. Ang hirap manganak"
He laughed. "Kidding" and before Bea leaves his study, he pouted asking for another kiss, Bea just comply.

"Pero Mommy, I really need to watch his game" Iza reasoned out
"Shhh! Baka marinig ka ng Daddy mo" Saway ni Bea
"I don't understand bakit bawal ako magboyfriend. Grade 9 na ko, Mom. 3rd year high school during your time."
"I know. You won't understand if hindi ka pa parent."
Iza was about to answer but her dad knocked and ask "Can I join the discussion?" Thirdy shouted sa labas ng pinto.
"Yea. Come in" Bea answered while still looking at Iza who is now staring at the floor.
"What's the matter?" Thirdy asked at naupo sa sofa ni Iza sa kwarto.
"Okay. Explain to your dad" Bea said and she rested sa kama ni Iza
"I don't want to go to Thailand"
"Why?" Thirdy asked
"Dad, I promised Vin na i'll watch his game. I don't want to disappoint him and Tita Mariane already bought a ticket for me." she calmly explained
Thirdy looks at Bea but she didn't answer and motioned a "I don't know" gesture
"Do you really like Vin?" He asked
Bea covered her mouth trying not to laugh. Sinamaan siya ng tingin ng magama niya and she just lift a peace sign.
"I think so" Iza bravely said
"How old are you nga?" Thirdy asked
"16 dad"
"Too young. Too young" Sabi ki Thirdy habang nailing
"Dad, hindi naman ako magbboyfriend agad. I just wanna watch his game"
"Vin over a family bonding?" Thirdy asked
Iza sighed. Alam niyang talo na siya this time.
Thirdy went to his daughter and hug her.
"I know you like him so much but sometimes you have to be reminded that he must also feel na you won't do everything for him. Hindi palaging ikaw dapat yung mag sacrifice anak. Did he atleast say na gusto ka din niya?"
Iza just move her head "no" and hug her dad.
"Msyado kang maganda anak para maghabol sa taong hindi ka gusto. Bata ka pa. " Thirdy is playing with hair habang nakayakap sakanya ang dalagang anak.
Bea secretly took a photo at tyaka naman pumasok ng kwarto ni Iza ang bunsong anak para isigaw ang "Thailand, Ravenas are ready!!" The three of them laughed
Bea used the front camera to have selfie with her son and posted it in instagram.
"Mission Accomplished. Ravenas are ready!"
It gain a lot of comments and likes.

A little advice for Iza
Before achieving the perfect taste of love, you need to have experiments, a little taking risk and a little bravery.
I hope that all of us will be able to experience that genuine love and happiness even if it means you have to step out of your comfort zone. Continue to choose yourself!
