Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 27

JHOANA

Morning time

Pagkatapos namin mag breakfast ni tita kanina ay pinauwi na niya ako kasi kailangan ko raw magpahinga, balik nalang daw ulit ako next time. Natulog kasi ako sa hospital last night, and good thing kasi day off ko ngayon

Mag tataxi nalang ako pauwi ng condo, nakakahiya naman kay Carly baka tulog pa yun kung magpapa sundo ako

And finally mabubuksan ko na 'tong phone ko. Marami na akong utang na messages kay Bea, ni hindi nga ako nakapag good night kagabi

While waiting na may dumaang taxi eto inopen ko na phone ko

Shit

Unread messages from Bea yesterday

Beatriz: It's alright, I'll just see you then. You don't need to reply, simply reading this is enough
(8:56 am)

Beatriz: What are you having for lunch? Eat healthy ok? Btw my lunch is this *picture of her food*
(12: 09 pm)

Beatriz: Just finished eating lunch. How 'bout you?
(12:38 pm)

Beatriz: Just got home! I'll prepare myself in a few, so excited to see you! Wear something not too showy please?
(6:03 pm)

Beatriz: Where are you Jho?
(7:20 pm)

Beatriz: Everybody left, the party has ended
(11:28 pm)

Tapos may isang ring message si Carly na sinend niya pa last night, nakatulog na ako siguro sa mga oras na 'to

Carly: Lagot ka kay Bea bading
(10:36 pm)

Carly: Tawagan mo si Pao kung magpapasundo kana or at least mag reply ka sa messages niya. Hindi kita masusundo bukas girl sasamahan ko si mama sa kumare niya
(12:07 midnight)

Kaya sinunod kong iopen yung message ni Paolo

Paolo: Good morning Jho, sunduin kita pag uuwi ka na ha?

Paolo: Just give me a go signal kung pupunta na ako

I need to reply agad kay Paolo baka bigla siyang pumunta dito eh magtataxi na ako

Jhoana: Don't come nalang Pao, mag tataxi na ako. Thank you

At may reply agad siya

Paolo: No please, papunta na ako Jho

Jhoana: Sige na nga

PAOLO

"Jho, hey. Jhoana hello? Naririnig mo ba ako?"

While I'm driving napansin kong parang may malalim siyang iniisip eh

"Ah y-yeah ano ulit yon?" Jho

"Ano uhm, can we eat breakfast muna hehe"

"Breakfast? Ay hindi ka pa kumain? Sige sure" Jho

Kaya nag stop kami sa pinakamalapit na McDo

At McDo

We're currently eating at nagkukwentuhan hehe

"Jho, pwede humingi ng favor?" isiningit kong tanong

"Kung kaya ko, ok" Jho

"My family and I are going to the beach today, eh last day ko na ngayon dito. Can I invite you to join us?"
