JHOANA

Tita Det surprise visit me here in Bea's house

"Tita, do you want something sweet to eat? May ice cream dito and cake tita. What do you like po?"

"Hindi na ako magtatagal dito, Jhoana. Dederetsuhin na kita" tita Det

"A-ano po yun?"

"Layuan mo na si Isabel, please. May babae akong nagugustuhan para sa anak ko" tita Det

Dun na bumuhos ang luha ko

"Look, I'm really sorry. I tried considering you, but it's really not possible, Jho. There is a better girl for my daughter. Pasensya na pero ayokong marumihan ang pangalan ng pamilya namin" tita Det

"T...tita nagbago n...na po ako. M...maayos na po b...buhay ko ngayon. I w...won't ask anything m...more from you po. Si B...Bea lang po, t...tita" I cried

"Intindihin mo nalang ako. Now, I give you until next month. Dapat iwan mo na siya" tita Det

Present

BEATRIZ

Random night at Deanna's place

Umiinom kami habang nagkukwentuhan

"Kumusta na panlalamig ni Jho?" Deanna

"Wala ng mas lalamig pa"

"Akala ko ba pag naghiwalay na sila ni Nico eh tatanungin mo siya kung pwede na" Deanna

"Yeah, but how can I ask her ni hindi ko nga siya mahawakan. She's like diring diri to me?"

"Kailan last sex niyo?" Deanna

"Last Christmas"

"Bruh, antagal na nun. Buti ok ka pa?" Deanna

"Thankfully I have my hands"

Deanna chuckles

"Alam mo, yayain mo siya. Then after mo siya dalhin sa langit, ask her kung anong problema" Deanna

"I always yaya her, but she refuses every time"

"Baka you're cheating" Deanna

"What? Never. My body and soul are only for you, Jho. She's my everything"

"Weh, baka mamaya bigla kang bumitaw" Deanna

"Honestly, pagod na ako Deans, but I will never leave her"

"Duda ako. Sinabi mo na yan nung si Maddie pa eh" Deanna

"Dude. They are different, ibang-iba si Jho kay Maddie"

"Edi good luck" Deanna

Nung naisipan kong umuwi, hindi ko na napigilang umiyak sa loob ng sasakyan ko

Ang sakit sakit na talaga. This is the thing that I was afraid to experience with Jho, but nangyayari na. Nanlalamig na siya sa'kin

"J...Jho please, s...stop giving me r...reasons to l...leave" I sobbed

JHOANA

*main door opened*

Siniil ako ni Bea ng halik pagkapasok niya sa bahay. Nalalasahan ko ang alak na ininom niya. Ayokong pigilan 'to kasi miss na miss ko na siya
