Thirdy finally confessed his love. Now, it's Bea's turn. While everybody knows about their fictitious engagement, what other secret/s unfolds? Check out Book 2 of Only Fools 😉
Dali dali naman nagpunta si Bea sa office ni Thirdy. Huminga ng malalim at kumatok.
"Bakit andito ka pa, hindi mo ba kailangan magprepare for your trip to Paris?"
"Dito na ako manggaling, dala ko na lahat ng kailangan ko. Sama ka!"
"Nice! Ikaw, ako and Nika."
"Hindi kasama si Nika, aalis ako mag isa."
"Eh bakit sinasabi nya na kasama daw sya?"
"Baka dahil sa init ng ulo ko kagabi, inaya ko sya tapos pumayag sya."
"Baka?"
"Well, at least hindi ako nakipagsayaw."
"So pwede ko din gawin kahit ano, out of anger?"
"Bea, alam kong alam mo kung ano ang gagawin ko at hindi ko gagawin. Ayoko makipag away sa'yo, I don't want any of this. Importante ka sa akin. Gusto ko magingat ka."
"Magingat?" Bea was confused.
"Wala akong tiwala kay Kai."
"Thirdy, kilala mo din ako. Alam mo kung ano ang gagawin ko at hindi ko gagawin. At alam mo na ayaw ko when someone tells me what to do. I asked you to trust me."
"And you asked me for time. Sige, ganito gawin natin, aalis ako mamayang gabi, bukas ang balik ko. If you need time, I'll give you time. You have until tomorrow."
Nanlaki mata ni Bea, di makapaniwala sa narinig.
"Bukas? Agad?"
"That's enough time." Rason ni Thirdy.
"Sigurado kang mag isa ka lang aalis?
"Sigurado!"
"Magisa ka lang?"
"Magisa lang ako."
-----------------------------------------------
"You look much better now, Sir." Bati ni Nika kay Thirdy.
"Sorry about last night, although hindi ko alam ano nangyari hindi naman ako allergic sa kinain natin."
"Let's just forget about it. Though, I have to explain something. Nung nakatulog ka, I had to borrow your shirt, nadumihan kasi ung top ko. Nung nakatulog ka, dumating si Bea, sinabihan ko sya na nagpapahinga ka na. I think she misunderstood nung makita nya that I was wearing your shirt. I'm sorry. In fact, I-"
"It doesn't matter, Nika. Thank you."
"Dala ko na pala mga gamit ko para pag alis natin mamaya for Paris."
"Ah yes, sorry, hindi kita nasabihan, I would have to go alone because of some circumstances. Maybe next time, we'll see." (a/n circumstances = Bea hahaha).
For days, Bea was trying to get hold of a yellow envelope na nakitang nyang binigay sa Lola na at binyaran nya. Everytime magpplano sila ni Cait, parating palpak. Ipinasok na ito ng Lola nya sa safe box which made it harder for Bea and Cait to get it and find out kung ano ang laman nito, but Bea wouldn't give up.
Her last straw of attempt happened on the day Thirdy was to leave for Paris. Dinalhan ni Cait ang Lola ni Bea ng coffee and purposely spilled it to her dress, which of course appeared to be an accident.
"Sorry po, Ms. Semiha hindi ko po sinasadya. Tutulungan ko kay maglinis." Cait said.
Lumabas sila ng office na sinabayan naman ng pasok ni Bea and took a picture of her Grandmother's safe box password. When she was done, dali dali syang lumabas and headed to her grandmother's house.
She was able to get inside without any problems, nakarating sya sa safe box ng matanda, entered the password at bumukas. Andun sa loob ang yellow envelope na matagal nang hinahanap ni Bea. When she opened it, nagulat sya sa nakasulat - DO NOT DISOBEY YOUR GRANDMOTHER."
May tumatawa sa likod nya, alam nya.
"Magaling, do you really think you can outsmart me?" Tanong ng Lola nya sa kanya. "You're trying to corner me but, it seems nagkabaligtad at nagbackfire mga plano mo."
"Don't think that you've won."
"We have an agreement, don't forget. Lalayo ka kay Thirdy, I will not cause him any harm in any way. You are at my mercy, young lady."
