A Story of Love, Lies, and Loyalty

Chapter 13

Mabilis lumipas ang panahon nung una ay hirap na hirap si Bea, namimiss niya si Jho hindi niya alam ang gagawin, madalas sa Bar pero nang magsimula ang Academic year sa US. walang ginawa si Bea kundi mag aral maglaro nang volleyball. Paminsan minsan ay nagbabar pero hindi na tulad dati. Dahil she know her limitation may mga kaibigan naman siya na bago at sila nakaka sama niya sila Janna, Jema, Carlo, Marck.

Madaming kumukulit sa kanya at nagpapansin kaya hindi na din niya naiiwasan pero hanggang sex lang. Dahil wala siyang nagugustuhan kagaya ng pagkagusto niya kay Jho.

Bea POV 

It's been 2 year since Jho broke up with me, and 1 year and 7 months since I've been living alone here. The first 2 months were not easy. Sobrang dami kong pinagdaanan but until now I still remember how Jho told me that she doesn't love me anymore. We looked into each other's eyes, but I couldn't see any feelings in her eyes, halatang seryoso siya sa sinasabi niya.

that night, that championship, before I left, I tried to say goodbye to her again. But I saw how happy she was, how happy she was with Maddie. It seemed like she had already moved on. I didn't pursue it further and just followed Dad.

I sighed as tears streamed down my face. hindi ko na pansin na nakapasok na pala si Jema at Janna here sa unit ko. they are talking to me na pala. I forgot na pupunta sila dito ni Janna.

ayon kaya naman pala Janna, hindi tayo sinasagot umiiyak nanaman ang kaibigan natin na mahal pa rin ang ex kahit 2 taon na ang nakalipas, Jema said as she chuckled

Yes, they know about it kasi halos lagi kami magkakasama kahit saan. Sila yung naging pamilya ko dito.

Crazy Im not crying because of that, may nakita lang akong video sa internet kaya na pa iyak ako. tanggi ko

Weh? internet sige nga kung sa internet magpost ka nga sa socmed mo. sabi ni Jema habang tawa ng tawa sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

Since umalis ako ng Pilipinas hindi ko na inopen yung socmed ko meron akong private account at yun ang ginagamit ko. 

natigil si Jema kakaharot dahil nagsalita si Janna

Alam mo Bei, look its been 2 years right? Malapit na din tayo gumraduate. Pero yan sabay turo sa puso ko kailan magkakalakas ng loob. Bakit hindi ka bumalik sa Pilipinas. Aminin mo man samin o hindi, hindi ka masaya dito. Tama na yang pagtitiis mo piliin mo maging masaya. Win her back. Janna smile as she tapped my shoulder.

I just look at her. naalala ko kung paano kami nagkakilala  

Flashback...

I'm going to my new school, NYU. Classes start today, and I haven't arranged anything since I arrived here because my dad had everything arranged by his staff. I'm not familiar with the rooms yet. I entered early to find my room, as it's my first day and being late would be difficult.

I arrived at the school quickly because there was no traffic, unlike in the Philippines. I got off and looked around. Everything seemed okay, so I started walking. Not far away, I saw a girl who looked like she was being harassed by the man in front of her, so I approached.

He's about to slap the girl" I thought, but luckily, I managed to grab his arm.

Hey what's the problem? are you crazy? I said while holding his arm

"WTF! Mind your own business!" he retorted and punched me. I managed to punch him back, causing him to fall down. He was about to attack me again when the girl suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, Cobbie, stop! I'll call the police if you don't stop. Get lost!" she said angrily.

"Hey, are you okay, miss?" I asked her.
