A: Thirdy, when was the last time na nakausap mo Papa mo?

T: Nung last time na nagpunta sya sa office at wala din ako balak kausapin sya. Bakit?

A: Si Ms. Semiha kasi, napagusapan namin kanina Papa mo. She said something that he would not be here for a long time. She's strange, bro, nagegets mo ako? Tawagan mo kaya Papa mo.

T: Okay, I'll think about it.

"Ano nangyari?" Bea asked him.

"Sure ka ba na ikaw lang ang binalikan ng Lola mo?"

"Tungkol ba ito sa Papa mo?"

"Oo."

They both picked up the phone. Bea called her Aunt, Thirdy called his Mama. Di nila alam magkasama din sila sa bahay nila Mozzy.

They left and headed to the Ravena mansion.

"What's wrong?" Mozzy asked.

"May nangyari ba, Bea?" Gigi asked.

"We met the new partner today," Panimula ni Thirdy. "Ms. Semiha."

Lumaki mata ni Gigi kay Thirdy.

"Si Lola po ang bagong partner nila Thirdy. Binili nya ang 45% shares ni Jigs."

"Also, si Papa hindi macontact, no one knows where he is."

"He sent the divorce papers, he's probably resting somewhere." Sagot ni Mozzy na obviously ay galit pa din after she caught him cheating and left her.

"Magiging problema pag nakita nya si Bong kaya kailangan ka din mag ingat, Mozzy. She would want to find you, too."

Bea seemed to be looking at a blank wall.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. Feeling ko magkaka nightmare na naman ako nito."

"Nightmare?" Thirdy asked.

Bea told him about her nightmares nung bata sya. Binigyan sya ng bracelet ng Mom nya ng dangling bracelet. Habang nag aagawan si Gigi at Lola nya sa custody ni Bea, she ran, so far hanggang umabot sya sa mataas na bundok at nahulog. Mas iniyakan nya ang dangling bracelet kesa sa mga sugat nya sa binti.

"Ah Nika, pinapatawag ka ni Ms. Semiha sa lumang office ni Sir Thirdy sa taas." Leila told Nika.

She went to her office and knocked.

"Hello po, Ms. Semiha. I'm Nika."

"You're late."

"Ah sorry po, ngayon lang kasi ako sinabihan."

"You're the newest employee dito, am I right?"

"Opo and I'm okay here, I can adapt easily and I never give up."

"Nice. I like persistent people."

"Malaki naman din pa natutulong ni Sir Thirdy. Si Bea din po, mabait na tao po sya. I can see your similarities. It seems that she has taken after you her beauty and nobility."

"You and I will get along very well, Nika. Aayain kita kumain sa labas. Busy ka ba?"

"Actually, no."

"Let's go then."

At the restaurant, nagtanong si Ms. Semiha about Bea.

"What do you think of Bea?"

"You know, she is Sir Thirdy's ex-fiancee."
