The fourth nominations are over and done with and the housemates decided to take a dip in the pool. Rona and Josef initiated the swimming break, no doubt needing to relieve the  tension. They shared a dinner of sorts, with chips as the main course.

After the nominations, there was an obvious silence on Nikki’s end. She and Mommy Sandy had a talk, where the latter expressed disappointment in Nikki’s actions towards Josef. Beauty, the confidante of both Nikki and Josef nowadays, was first to approach her. When the other girls came, Nikki clammed up and Beauty tried to cover up for her by saying that she just had a stomachache. This didn’t fool the others and Priscilla, for one, prodded her unsuccessfully. Josef was next to ask what the problem was, as Nikki’s sullen look was hard to miss. Was it being with him constantly that prevented her from mingling, he wondered out loud. Again, the In Chick refused to answer and Josef left her alone and joined the other housemates.

Josef was already in a pretty serious mood himself and retreated quietly to a bench. Alex came to ask help with some Filipino words, to which he obliged. Again, it was Beauty who approached the teen and got a few thoughts out of him. Beauty shared some of Nikki’s concerns, one of them the fact that Josef has been aloof and distant. Josef explained that he already gave his word to Kuya that he would respect his elders, and he wanted to respect Mommy Sandy’s sentiments, which was why he was making the effort to keep his distance from Nikki. Beauty felt it better for him to talk with Nikki, but Josef felt that distance was better at this point.

Nikki later approached Josef to share her talk with her mom. Mommy Sandy, usually soft-spoken, put her foot down and expressed her disappointment at Nikki’s actions in the house. If she wanted to be respected, she said, then she has to act appropriately. She reminded Nikki that she had a boyfriend outside and that Josef also had a commitment to his girlfriend. The conversation came to a stop, with Nikki shedding tears. Beauty and Rona comforted her after. Josef kept his thoughts to himself and eventually left Nikki alone. He joined the rest of the housemates in praying the rosary instead. So deep in prayer was he that he stayed behind long after the rosary was done. Mindless of his housemates’ murmurs around him, he expressed thanks and asked for guidance.

How will Nikki respond to this plea from Mommy Sandy? Will Josef be able to keep his word, especially being in such close quarters? Follow the teens’ stories in the teleserye ng totoong buhay: PBB Teens Edition Plus, on Uber and Primetime Bida.
