It was in the middle of the night when Jamie slowly openend Bea's door, she tiptoed towards her then push bea carefully to make room for her.
"J, you have your own room." Bea whispered
"I can't sleep kasi I have to ask about the fireman" Jamie whispered back
"Aysh! Go sleep and I'll tell you tomorrow" Bea annoyingly answered
"and kasi I was uhm using a dating app and I saw the fireman" Jamie added
thats when Bea is finally awakened, she opens her lamp and look at Jamie
"We kinda matched, and magkausap na kami." Jamie narrated
"Oh okay. Why are you saying this to me now?" Bea frowned
"Eh kasi baka you like him eh, I can ghost him naman, hindi niya naman ata ako nakilala sa pictures ko"
"Ohh okay. maybe it's a good idea since makulit naman si Thirdy para din di na ko magisip on what to do with him" Bea closed her eyes and pretend to sleep
"Are you sad?" Jamie asked
"No naman but I'm surprised that he has a dating app"
"why naman? you're single, you can also download you know" Jamie tries to convince her
"Nah, J! let's sleep"
"Ay nga pala hindi Thirdy yung name niya"
"Huh? Baka poser na yan J" Bea sits up and put her head on the dashboard of her bed
"No, tiningnan ko lang if you'll be affected pero Brix yung pangalan nung fireman the one na kasama nung iyo" Jamie explained
"Alam mo ang lala mo na and for the record di siya sakin" Bea cleared it out
"Whatever you say, Beibei" Jamie switched her position to sleep
umiling iling nalang si Bea before patayin yung lamp beside her

Bea woke up with a headache, she couldn't stand so she reached her phone and dialed Gail's number
"Gail, I'll be late. Forward mo nalang sakin mga emails."
"No problem Mam. So far wala namang need gawin just a few papers to sign. you can take the day off" Gail suggested
"Gail, ilang araw na kong half day or di napasok. Magkakasakit na ko kakasama dito kay Jamie" Bea ranted
Gail just chuckled and let her boss be.
When she checked the time it is already 9am and J isn't beside her anymore. She tried to sleep again but she keeps thinking about Thirdy and how she denies that she's starting to like him.
she opened her eyes and saw her wedding picture in the bed side table
"I'm sorry, Hun" she whispers
She stood up and showered

"Eh bakit ka nga umalis?" Pangungulit ni Anton sa kaibigan
"Huh? Wala nga emergency lang"
"Saang emergency sa bahay?" Sj asked
"Oo basta"
"Ah hindi tanungin natin yung bago, Brix ba yon" Jason suggested
Anton stared at his best friend trying to give him some time to spill it instead of ordering the trainee to speak
"Fine. Tawagin niyo nga Si Brix"
The two called Brix and being new, he quickly go to the quarters
"Saan kayo galing kahapon?" Anton asked
"Nagsave po ng aso lieutenant" Brix replied
"Hmmm. Anong breed?"
"Uhm di ako sure pero Corgi po ata"
"Pano niyo nakuha yung call" that's when Thirdy look at Brix as if telling him to not speak
"Uhm ano po"
"Brix, ako magttrain sayo di si Cap so sakin ka matakot"
"Wala pong call, sinama lang po ako ni Cap"
"Ano itsura nung may ari ng aso"
"Maganda po tapos matangkad" the trainee described
"Narinig mo ba pangalan?"
"Uhm Bella po ata"
"Ok thank you. You can continue on what you were doing"
"May corgi, bella ang name na sounds like..." Sj teases
"So kinausap ka na ulit?" Anton asked
"Bakit ba big deal to, Anton?"
"Ang rupok rupok mo nanaman pre ah"
"Alam ko ginagawa ko, Anton"
"Oh sige malaki ka naman na"
"Wag na kayo mag away. tatanda niyo na" Jason said
"Aba loko ka ah" Binatukan ni Thirdy si Jason
"Basta pre alam mo naman diba, concern lang ako" Anton explained
"Oo crush mo ko eh. Bye pahangin lang ako sa baba" Thirdy uses the pole to go down
He sighed heavily because deep down, he knows Anton was right, marupok nanaman siya.
