They felt Julia and Sam arrived. Sinalubong nila ang mga ito.
"Thank you for inviting us here, Bea."
"Naisip ko lang kasi since we will be closely working with each other, maganda ung may rapport tayo, diba?"
"I have so many memories in this house," Julia said as she looked around.
Napatingin si Sam sa kanya, nagulat si Thirdy and Bea.
"Ah kasi nung mga bata kami, malimit kami dito. Alam mo, our families are close, diba?" Julia said.
"Ah haha tara upo tayo. Dito na tayo sa garden para presko." Bea suggested.
Habang andun sila, tinulungan sila ni Julia how they will respond sa interview. Nagbigay ng sample questions si Julia and kunwari nagbigay din ng sagot si Bea.
They stayed for the night. Bea and Thirdy stayed in front of the fireplace habang namasyal sa labas sila Julia and Sam.
"Bagay kayo talaga ni Julia, education, status, family, lahat."
"Why are you constantly pushing me to her, like, you're constantly convincing me that I'm in love with her."
"Huh? Hindi ba un ang reason kaya meron tayong contract?"
"No."
"Also for her to break up with Sam, right?"
Biglang dumating sila Julia.
"Maganda ang weather, really nice for a walk." sabi ni Sam
"Ah Thirdy, ung sa interview, what if they ask about the stocks?"
"Julia, hanggang ngayon ba naman, trabaho pa din?" Sita ni Sam sa kanya.
"Sam, pwede mo ba ako samahan maglakad lakad din sa labas." Bea asked.
"Sige ba, tara."
Bea left them on purpose but instead na umayos, mas lalo lang nag away si Julia and Thirdy.
"Bakit ba parati mong sinasabi na hindi kami bagay ni Sam?"
"Kasi totoo naman. He's very ambitious, but not in a good way. Asan na ba sila nagpunta."
"You're bride is safe, wag ka mag alala."
"Ahh hahaha are you sure?"
"I will be getting married in a week but you're still persuading me not to do it. Bakit?"
"Because I don't trust him." Derechong sagot ni Thirdy sa kanya. "Until the day of your wedding, uulit ulitin ko sayo yan!"
Thirdy's phone rang, Julia knows what she needs to do.
"Goodnight, aalis na ako."
T: Ano na naman, Anton.
A: Asan ka ba, kailangan kita makausap.
T: Tungkol saan? Andito ako sa summer house. Andito si Julia, Sam and Bea.
A: Ayan, for once pwede ba, show your feelings. You're obviously in love with Bea, hindi mo lang napapansin.
T: Anton stop being stupid.
A: Anong stupid doon? You can't seem to exist without her, dimo ba narealize? You always find a reason to be with her, iba ang ngiti mo pag kasama mo sya. I don't even remember the last time you smiled.
T: Anton, ayaw nga nya ako makasama, pinagusapan na natin ito kanina, diba? She's not staying after the contract.
A: Eh di ask her to stay, gaano kahirap un?
T: Bro, kilala mo ako. I will not ask anyone to stay kung gusto nila umalis.
A: Ewan ko sayo Thirdy, sana hindi ka magsisi sa kapabayaan mo. Magiging matandang binata ka kung ganyan ka.

In the morning, inabutan ni Julia and Sam si Thirdy sleeping on the couch. Sam tried to wake him up.
"Dito ka natulog?"
"Oo."
"Nag away ba kayo ni Bea?"
"Hindi. I have work to do, tinamad na ako umakyat.
"Maya maya andito na ung press na mag iinterview. I'll check on Bea lang." Julia said.
Meanwhile, Bea was all dressed and ready. Pagbaba nya ng hagdan, nagulat si Thirdy, hindi sya nakapagsalita nang makita nya si Bea habang pababa.
"You look dashing." Bati ni Bea.
Thirdy was glued on her.
"Okay lang ba suot ko?" Bea asked him. "Do I already look like the bride of the heir of the biggest Architectural firm in the country? Thanks to your mom."
"Couldn't have been more beautiful." He said, complimenting Bea.
"Parati naman yan sinasabi mo."
"But every time I say it, it's from the bottom of my heart."
"Are you ready to play our last game, Thirdy?"
Hindi sya sumagot. Instead, he took her hand.
"Tara na."
The interview went well, magkakasama silang apat sa interview being the heirs. When the interview was done, tumayo na si Bea.
"Magbibihis na muna ako."
"I think ako din." Julia said.
Umalis silang 3, Thirdy was left. Naunang natapos magbihis si Julia, paglabas nya nakita nya si Thirdy naka upo sa garden.
"Thirdy, narinig ko usapan nyo ni Anton kagabi. Sabi mo you couldn't ask me to stay, that I dont want you anymore."
"Julia-" He wanted to tell her they were not talking about her.
"You don't have to say anything. I know how hard it is for you to say or show your emotions. But if there is even the slightest chance that we can be together, I'll cancel the wedding at makikipaghiwalay ako kay Sam ngayon din."
Thirdy sees Bea peeping through the entrance door, obviously listening to them. After a few minutes, narinig na din nila ang boses ni Sam.
"Tara kuha muna tayo kape." sabi ni Bea kay Sam.
"I know it's a difficult decision for you. Think carefully, weigh everything. I will wait for your answer in 2 days." Nagmamadaling sinabi ni Julia sa kanya.
Lumabas si Bea and Sam na may dalang kape.
"After coffee, pwede na tayong mag prepare umalis."
Bea handed one coffee for Thirdy. Kinuha ni Thirdy and kape from her at hinawakan ang kamay ni Bea. Julia saw it, stared, Thirdy just looked straight. Nagulat si Bea, nabigla sya sa ginawa ni Thirdy after ng narinig nyang usapan nila. She just then kissed him, napatingin naman si Thirdy sa kanya sa ginawa nya.
"Ah mabuti pa ata mauna na kami." Aya ni Sam.
Julia was completely frozen.
"Tapusin na muna natin itong coffee."
"Hindi na, pwede naman kayo magstay dito, aalis na kami.
