Love on Board

Chapter 24

Denise POV

"Babe, ayun pala sila Ella oh," Ly said, hinawakan kamay ko at hinila na ako. Bwisit na baldo 'to, madaling madali wala naman schedule.

"Teka nga, bat ba nagmamadali ka? Asan?" Hindi naman kasi tinuro sakin.

"Hi besh hahaha! By the way, si Jema. Jema, si Ly and Denden," Ella said. Nasa harapan na namin sila.

"Nice to meet you, Jema," sabay namin sabi ni Ly. Ngumiti naman si Jema.

"Uii Jema, wag ka mahiya samin haha. Alam mo, ngayon lang nagpakilala si ells ng babae samin. First time yan, ginayuma ka ba niya para sumama ka?" Ly said.

"Alam mo, baldo, sana mahuli ka mambabae ni Denden para yari ka," Ella said. I glared at Ly.

"Hoy, hindi ako marunong mambabae. Good girl 'to," Ly replied.

"Speaking of babae, babe, diba si Bea yun? May kasama nanaman babae oh," Ly said.

"Asan?" I said, hinanap ko ng tingin.

"Hoy, ells, kala mo kilala mo makahanap ka," Ly said. Paano umiikot din ulo ni ate Ella.

"Kilala naman niya, babe. Diba I told you she asked about Bea," I said.

"Teka, Love, Jema, diba boss mo yon? Si Jho yung kasama ni Bea," Ella said. Ano daw, boss?

"Oo, si Doc Jho nga! Yan din yung kasama ni Doc maglunch before," Jema said.

"Teka wait, so kilala niyo yung kasama ni Bea?" Ly said. Nag-nod yung dalawa.

"E ano, tara lapitan natin," I said.

"Teka, Den, wag. Hindi alam ni Jho na kami na ni Jema," Ella said sabay kamot sa ulo niya, sabay tingin kay Jema.

"Love, okay lang ba?" Jema just nodded.

"Oh tara, ay wait. Ayan, papalapit satin. Hindi naman tayo napapansin," Ly said. Paano naka-akbay si Bea don sa babae.

Nakatayo kami ditong apat, hindi kami umalis sa position namin. Isa sa amin ang mabubungo ni Bea. Hahaha, gulatan 'to for sure.

Kaya pala tahimik ang BeaDel, hindi nagpaparamdam. May babae na ulit. Napa-iling nalang ako.

Ella's POV

Ako ang humarang para sakin mabungo si Jho, pa-akbay akbay pa siya sa kanya yung piloto. Parang hindi siya inis na inis before hahaha.

"Aw," Jho said.

"Are you okay?" sabi ng kasama niya na Bea ang pangalan. Taray, huh, hahaha.

Nagtaas ng tingin si Jho at shook ata siya na kami ang nakita niya hahaha.

"Ate Ella, Jema/Ate Ly, Ate Den," sabay nilang sabi. Binigyan ko ng look na may hindi siya kinukwento at sinasabi sakin.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito, Bea?" Ly said.

"Uhmm, we're just buying a cake. Nagagalit kasi si Jho, sabi ko wag na magdala," Bea said. Nakita ko naman napahawak sa noo niya si Jho hahaha wala siyang nagawa kundi ngumiti kala Ly. I smell something.

"By the way, si Jho my girl. Jho, sila Ate Ly and Den," nasamid ako. What? My girl, tama ba rinig ko? Huh?

"I mean nililigawan ko, Ate Ly," Bea said.

"Wow bago yan ah, marunong ka pala non, Bea. Dinadaan daan mo lang sa pagpapacute dati ah," Ly said. Kaso bigla may tumawag kay Bea.

"Yes, mom. Ito na po. I'm with someone pala hehe. I know dad and you will be happy," she said.

"Ah, Ate Ly, una na kami. Tumatawag na kasi si Mom," she added.

"Oh sige, sige. Ingat kayo, Bea," Bea nodded. Si Jho di alam gagawin e hahaha.

"Madami kang hindi kinukwento sakin, Jho," bulong ko sa kanya. Inirapan naman ako hahaha. Yari 'to sakin bukas..

Jhoana's POV

Akbay kasi ng akbay si Bea, ang kulit, nakita tuloy kami ni Ate Ella. Well, nakita ko din naman siya with Jema.

"Are you mad?" Bea asked pagkapasok namin sa sasakyan niya. Hindi ko siya kinikibo.

"I'm sorry but you're my girl naman talaga. You're the only one. I know you're bothered kasi nakita tayo ni Doc Ella and nasabi ko na nililigawan kita. Don't be mad, baby. I have a request pala sa'yo. I want it to be formal na. I will get your parents' consent to court you but I need you to be there. Can we go to them? Please?" Pero hindi pa din ako kumibo tas ayaw pa niya lumakad. Tumawag na nga mom niya.

"Stop staring at me," inis na sabi ko. Pano ba naman, nakatitig sakin. Pero may mga tanong na ko sa isip ko kung seryoso ba siya o baka pinaglalaruan niya lang ako?

"You're so pretty. Don't mind Ate Ly. Yes, this is my first time to court someone, and this is my last," she said as she held my hand and kissed it, then pinaharap niya ko.

"Always remember that I'm willing to wait for you. I assure you, even if there's no certainty, you're the only one and one thing I'm sure of in my life right now," she added as she kissed my forehead. I was 🥹.

"Thank you, Beatriz, but tara na, tumatawag na ulit si tita sayo," I said. Umiilaw kasi phone niya.

"Opo, boss. Ito na," she said and she held my hands and smiled at me.

"Magdrive ka, delikado yang ginagawa mo," I said.

"It's okay, Jho. Automatic naman car, it's not like manual naman," she replied.

Bea was humming with the music while driving. I hope if I fall, you will catch me, sabi ko sa sarili ko.

After almost one hour, nakarating na kami sa house nila. This is my second time na makapunta here.

"Jho, wait. Don't make pasok muna. I'll surprise dad. I know he will be happy when he sees you," Bea said.

"Okay, I'll wait here," I said. Hahaha, I don't know, but I didn't expect Tito Elmer to like me for Bea. Yeah, Bea said that her dad likes me for her, but hindi daw dahil don kung bakit niya ko niligawan.

Nadidinig ko na sila.

"Your mom told me na may kasama ka. Nasan na?" Tito Elmer said.

"Pasok ka na dito," she said as she knocked. Nasa likod kasi ako ng door. Dahan-dahan ko inopen yung door.

"Hello, Tito," I said and gave him a big smile.

"Ang soon, anak ko din," her dad joked, but "Bakit mo kasama si Doc Isabel?"

"Jho, can I say to them?" Bea asked. I nodded.

"Dad, I'm courting Jhoana."
