What Binds Us

31

Jane went back sa dorm nila with Janella. Since Joj and Julia both have their cars with them, kanya-kanya na silang uwi sa mga tinutuluyan nila. Marc only visited since ahead na siya ng year sa kanila and not studying sa school nila. Joshua also went back sa dorm niya with a promise na susunduin niya the next day si Julia sa hotel na tinutuluyan nito. The girl will actually start studying sa school nila and is also planning to stay in a dorm.

Magkasama ngayon sa iisang kwarto si Jane and Janella, another sleepover as they call it. But instead of watching a movie ay pag-uusapan nila ang kalokohan nila Joshua at Joj, as well as the reason behind it.

"so, ano ba sabi sayo ni Josh kanina?" Janella asks as she positioned herself beside Jane sa kama nito.

Nagkausap na din kasi sila Jane at Joshua with the latter apologizing as mga kalokohang nagawa nila ni Joj. Jane also opened up about her feelings for Janella and sobrang supportive ni Joshua sa kanya. He even told her na confident itong mutual sila ni Janella ng nararamdaman, he even risk betting his own car for it na tinawan ni Jane.

Janella and Joj also talked ng nasa dorm sila, bago pa pumunta si Janella sa unit ni Jane. They both settled and cleared the mess na nangyari with Joj ranting everything she noticed sa pagbabago ni Janella.

Flashback

"kasi naman Jea, day one palang halata ng may gusto ka. kaso ikaw, todo deny." sabi nito sa kanya.

"so I knew I had to do something, obvious din naman kasi na mutual kayo ni Jane eh." dagdag pa nito.

"pero I admit na too much na yung kanina when I said na manliligaw mo si Marc, kaya sorry please." sabi nito sa kanya na nagmamakaawa.

"wag kang magalit sakin or kay Joshua please." sabi nito.

"isa pa yung si Joshua, sinali mo pa talaga sa pa cupid mo."

"sorry na please." pag-ulit ni Joj dito.

"Josh and I just wanted na maging masaya kayo ni Jane. yun lang." sabi nito sa kanya making her sigh.

"oo na, just don't pull that lie again na manliligaw thingy, okay?" sabi niya dito and Joj nodded, raising her right hand saying the word promise.

End of flashback

They came to a conclusion after nung forgiveness na yun na tama si Joj, that Janella loves Jane. She also told Joj na aamin siya kay Jane, that she'll risk things for the girl.

And so andito sila ngayon.

Jane explained anong napag-usapan nila ni Joshua, minus the part na may feelings siya kay Janella. The girl feels like hindi pa tamang oras para umamin.

But then, Janella had other plans.

"actually, I agree with Joj and Josh." sabi nito sa kanya.

Napataas ang kilay niya sabay hinarap si Janella.

"agree saan?" tanong niya.

Of course, she knows that Janella is talking about them being clueless in love with each other. Pero hindi niya sasabihin yun.

"that I love you." sabi nito sa kanya.

She feels like nag short circuit ang utak niya dahil sa sinabi nito.

ano raw?

Mukha na siguro siyang ewan at for sure nakanganga na bibig niya coz Janella had to be the one to close it.

"I love you Jane." pag-uulit nito ng nakangiti.

"the jealousy I felt seeing you with that Paulo guy and Julia, it's too much. I don't think aamin ako but damn, sobrang nakaka selos." pag-amin nito.

"I understand if you think masyadong mabilis, kasi it really is, but kasi Jane, I know I have to confess now.. kasi pano kung manligaw sayo yung Paulo? I saw how he looked at you eh." Janella added.

"and si Julia, kahit pa sabihin mong tapos na lahat ng kung anong meron kayo dati, she was your first eh. naudlot lang yung kayo kasi umalis siya, so now that she's back, baka bumalik lahat?" sabi nito, now looking at her own fingers.

"at least ngayon na inamin ko na, pwede kitang ligawan kahit na marami ang may gusto sa'yo..pwede kong freely iparamdam sayo yung pagmamahal ko." sabi nito at tinitigan siya.

"so sana payagan mo akong ligawan ka Jane." Janella asks, halata sa mga mata nito at boses ang sensiridad.

Jane feels like she's floating.

Sa totoo lang, nag assume na din naman siyang mutual sila ng nararamdaman ni Janella but she tried to not get her hopes up to the point na para na siyang tanga.

But with Janella confirming everything, pakiramdam niya nakalutang siya and she needed to touch the ground once again.

Kanina lang nagtatawanan sila ni Janella habang nagki kwento siya ng past nila ni Julia, pero ito pala yung nararamdaman ni Janella.

papatunayan kong ikaw lang simula nung nakilala kita hanggang ngayon at sa magpahanggang kailan paman Jea.

She held Janella's hand in hers, staring at the girl's eyes.

"bakit kailangan pang ligawan mo ako para mapasagot mo?" tanong niya sabay lapat ng kanang kamay ni Janella sa pisngi niya.

She instantly felt like she's back on the ground, "kung pwede namang sagutin na kita agad at araw-araw natin ligawan ang isa't-isa?" she finished sabay hinalikan ang palad ni Janella na kanina lang ay nasa pisngi niya.

They stared at each others eyes, talking with it once again.

"araw-araw nating patunayan yung nararamdaman natin sa isa't-isa Jea, kasi tayo na." she repeated at nakita niyang naluha pa si Janella.

"sshh, wag ka ngang umiyak..sa lahat ng sinagot ikaw lang 'yung malungkot." saway niya dito at pinunasan ang luha.

"eh kasi ikaaaw." parang bata na sabi ni Janella at nagtago sa unan na kanina pa niya hawak.

Jane chuckled at the latter's actions.

God, mahal na mahal ko talaga.

She thinks as she slowly removed the pillow from her now-girlfriend's blushing face.

Para talagang magnet mga mata nila kasi laging nagtatama, parang nababasa nila mga gustong sabihin na hindi masabi ng mga labi nila.

"can I kiss you?" Janella was the one to ask, looking at Jane with those heart eyes. Na para bang si Jane yung pinakamagandang bituin na nakita niya.

Which is actually true. Jane is a star herself.

Jane looked at Janella with the same amount of love, if she can, she'll give everything para dito.

"yes, please." she replied with a smile.

And just like that, they shared their first ever kiss.
