Only Fools (Completed)

24

While Bea was busy eating nabigla sya when someone pulled a chair in front of her. Pagtingin nya, it was Thirdy.

"Ano ginagawa mo dito? Paano mo nalaman andito ako?"

"Sinabi ni Deanna. Masarap daw ang soup dito, gusto ko kumain."

"Gutom ka? Diba nag dinner ka with Julia?"

"Oo."

"I wonder magkano binayaran mo for your dinner at gutom ka pa din."

"Naisip ko lang, ano iisipin ng mga tao if I don't spend it with my fiancee, baka mag isip na mga tao nyan, diba? Ano kinakain mo?"

"Ah this is a Terbiye soup. Masarap ito, don't worry dika sasakitan ng tyan. Malinis itong lugar na ito."

Nag order si Thirdy and while waiting, tinanong ni Bea how his date with Julia was.

"Okay naman. Ung pinili mong restaurant was perfect, so thank you."

"Perfect? Eh bakit andito ka?"

Tumawa lang sila pareho. Dumating na ung order ni Thirdy, he started eating and Bea continued with hers.

Nang matapos na sila kumain, Thirdy walked Bea hanggang sa parking kung saan sya nag park.

"Sabi ni Deanna binilhan mo daw ako ng regalo."

"Magtataka ako kung di nya sinabi sayo. Just something small, nakakahiya kung itatabi sa mga regalo na nakuha mo today. Huwag na lang."

"Regalo mo sa akin un tapos di mo ibibigay? Dali na."

"Hay sige na nga, wait kunin ko, upo ka muna dyan."

She went back with her gift and a cupcake.

"Is that cake for me?"

"Oo, you have to make a wish and blow your candle. Hindi mo naman kailangan kainin ung cupcake, I know you don't like sweets. Happy Birthday!"

Thirdy opened his present and found a globe with stand.

"Hindi ko kasi alam kung ano ibibigay sayo. You have everything already."

"So, you bought the whole world for me, right?"

"Yes. Nagustuhan mo ba?"

He didn't say anything. Instead, he leaned toward Bea and gave her a kiss on her cheeks.

"Thank you." Was all he said.

"Why do you still work at the flower shop?" Thirdy asked out of nowhere.

"Syempre, pagkatapos ng contract natin, babalik na din ako dun."

"Right, right. Thanks for everything. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Bea said.

In the morning, Thirdy called Bea to tell her na susunduin nya sya.

B: Huwag na, I'll see you at work, paalis na naman ako.

T: Sigurado ka?

B: Yup. I'll see you.

While on the road, Bea's car started to act up again, tinabi nya muna para sa makatawag ng towing service but before she can, tinatawagan na sya ni Thirdy.

"Asan ka na?"

"Mauna ka na, susunod ako, nasira ung sasakyan ko."

Thirdy immediately hung up and made a quick turn on the next available slot he saw.
