Jho
Kakauwi lang namin galing Australia, at pagkatapos namin iwan ang mga gamit namin sa condo ay agad na kaming dumeretso sa bahay nila tita det
Nung gabing nalaman ko na may sakit si Bea ay agad akong nag send ng messages sa kanya
*messages I sent to Bea*
Jho: Love what happened? Bakit hindi mo sa'kin sinabi?
Jho: Nolan and I are coming home na, uuwian ka namin love ko
Jho: How are you feeling? Anong mga nararamdaman mo love?
Jho: Please reply. I miss you and love you, sana alam mo yan. I always love you Bea
Wala pa ring reply si Bea, ni hindi nga niya siniseen. Kaya I thought of calling her
After 23 missed calls wala pa ring sagot
Kasalanan ko'to eh, kung sana mas hinabaan ko pa ang patience ko at mas inintindi pa si Bea hindi sana mangyayari to
Naaawa na ako sa love ko, those times I confronted her ay may dinaramdam na pala siya. I can't forgive myself
"Mommyla! Daddylo! I'm home!" Nolan runs to tita and tito
Nakaupo sila sa couch habang si tito ay nakayakap kay tita det. Nakatalikod kasi sila mula sa door
Nang marinig nila si Nolan ay agad silang napalingon
"Oh apo, we missed you" Elmer
Agad na niyakap ni tito Elmer si Nolan, nang mapansin kong umiyak pala si tita Det
"Hello tito and tita, uhm tita ok lang po ba kayo?" tanong ko kay tita Det
"Maiwan ko muna kayo anak, magpapahangin lang kami ng apo ko sa labas" Elmer
"Sige po tito" sabi ko and we hugged
Pagkaalis nila tito and Nolan ay tinabihan ko si tita Det
"Tita?....."
"Anak si B...Bea" Det sobs
"Tita ano pong n...nangyari sa k...kanya? N...nasaan po s...siya?" sabi ko at napapaiyak na rin sa sinabi ni tita Det, kasi sobra akong kinakabahan
Tita Det shooks her head
"Tita s...saan po ang a...anak niyo?"
"I...ilang araw na s...siyang n...nawawala anak" Det
"Hanapin po n...natin siya, tutulong ako"
"We cooperated na to the p...police pero w...wala talaga ang a...anak ko" Det
"I know somewhere tita"
Tita Det also told me the whole story, why Bea pushed us away
A day later
Bea
Here I am in Palawan, sitting under a coconut tree along the shore watching the sunset
I came here to reminisce the past
I remembered how we celebrated my birthday here with my friends and of course my Jhoana, wala pa si Nolan nun
I can't help but to cry. Asking myself "what's wrong with me?" Everything should've been good if it wasn't for my sickness. I was there na eh, I am happy living with my family and I was about to marry the woman I love......nawala pa
"B...bakit ako pa? W...why can't I l...live for a l...long time? Is it w...wrong to choose h...happiness? Mali b...bang piliin ang p...pamilya ko? That's w...why I had to c...choose?"
"I just wanted a peaceful life with my family, pinagdamot mo pa" I said and I am pertaining it to God
"Bea?" someone called
I know this voice, I know who she is
I turned my back and there I saw the love of my life
"Jhoana"
Jho
I immediately ran towards Bea. Nakaupo siya sa wooden chair na naka attach sa coconut tree
Lumuhod ako sa harap niya para mayakap siya sa abdomen
"L...love I'm so s...sorry, p...please forgive me l...love. H...hindi ko k...kakayaning mawala ka p...please..........I love you s...so much B....Bea"
Ang payat na ni Bea, andaming pinag bago ng katawan niya. Kaya mas naguilty ako sa mga ginawa ko sa kanya dati
"Hey...hey....hey shhh don't cry" marahan na sabi ni Bea at pinaupo ako sa tabi niya tapos pina lean niya yung head ko sa shoulders niya at linagay yung arms niya around my waist
"I love you so much, Jhoana.......don't be sorry hmm? Wala kang kasalanan" Bea
Hindi ko na talaga kayang pigilan pa ang sakit ng damdamin ko, kaya binuhos ko na ang pag-iyak ko kay Bea
I place my head on her neck at niyakap siya sa waist kaya tinaas niya yung arm niya papunta sa shoulders ko, to make ourselves comfortable
"D...don't leave us ha? Please?" I said as I cry heavily
I hear no response from Bea
"Love, promise me to s...stay with u...us until t...the end...........please s...say yes love"
"I will always be watching you" Bea
"No, no that's n...not the answer I am l...looking for.......Bea p...please, wag mo k...kaming iwan ni N...Nolan"
"Mahal na mahal ko kayo Jho, always remember that ha? You are always in mind and heart" Bea
Bumitaw ako sa hug and looked at her straight
"Bea lumaban ka naman, kailangan ka namin please. We can't lose you kasi mahal na mahal ka namin, marami kaming nagmamahal sa'yo"
Bea bows her head at alam kong umiiyak ito dahil rinig ko ang paghikbi niya, at pinupunasan niya ang kanyang mga mata
"I'm trying......" Bea
I hug her once again
"We're in this together love, you're fight is our fight. We trust in Him, don't we?" I said in the middle of our hug
I felt she nods
I break our hug to feel her
I close my eyes as she close hers, and slowly lean forward until our lips met. We kissed with full of love
I'm home
After our kiss she pressed her forehead to mine
"I love you, Jhoana Louisse ko" Bea
"I love you more"
