Chapter 37

Akala ko tahimik kaming makakakain ngayong gabi dahil nag-eenjoy naman ang lahat sa mga pagkain pero doon pala ako nagkakamali. Bea bursts out in front of the table. Halos mapalingon ako sa mga kasama namin dahil bigla akong kinabahan. Kahit mga tao sa katabi naming tables ay napalingon din.

What the hell is wrong naman kasi with this Maddie? Gets ko naman na gusto niya si Bea, eh.. Iyon nga lang naputol na 'yung pasensya ng girlfriend ko. Pati nga ako ay hindi ko inaasahang ipagtatanggol niya ako because usually naman she let me handle things my way, dahil she trusts me and nasa likod ko lang naman siya. Pero ngayon? This Bea became my protector I never thought I needed.

After swiping her card to pay for the dinner ay mabilis na niya akong hinila palabas ng kainan. Habang nasa daan kami pauwi ay doon na ako kumuha ng pagkakataon na magchat kina ate Ly.

To: Our Captain
Ate Ly, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Hindi na napigilan ni Bea. Please tell the team too na nauna na rin po kaming umuwi. Pasensya na po ulit. Ingat po kayong lahat sa pag-uwi.

From: Our Captain
No worries, Caitlin. We understand why you have to leave early. I talked to Tyang na rin regarding with Maddie's behavior kanina and they let me talk to her personally naman. Pahinga na kayong dalawa. We gotchü.

Naging tahimik ang buong byahe namin pero hawak nito ang kamay ko habang nagdadrive siya. I wanted to start a small talk pero hindi ko magawa dahil alam kong she's more than annoyed for what happened. Nang makapasok kami sa unit ay agad na pinaupo niya ako sa couch. She knelt down in front of me.. I know she's struggling to find words too.

"I'm sorry that you have to handle the fallout from my past mistakes or conflicts with others. I know it's not easy being associated with me and dealing with the consequences that come with it."

"Alam ko naman kung ano'ng pinasok ko, Bea. Tanggap ko lahat.. even the worst ones because that makes you 'you'."

Tumingala ito bago muling tahimik na tumitig sa mga mata ko.. Her eyes clouded like it would pour any time soon.

"I... I don't know what I did for you to love me like this, Cait. It's too good to be true na nagdadalawang isip ako kung deserve ko ba 'tong pagmamahal mo."

I wiped the tears on her face. Even if she cries, maganda pa rin siya.

"Hush now, love. You deserve all the love in the world.. You deserve more than this love that I give. I love you, Bea.."

Her little sobs made me secretly smile. She lifted my hands and kissed them.. "Love never felt this good, Cait."

My heart swelled with joy. You made this love so good, Bea. With that thought, I leaned in closer as our lips met in a soft, tentative kiss that quickly deepened. Still wanting for more, Bea pulled back slightly, and it's almost as if she's searching for any source of doubt from me.. Instead, I smiled at her so that she would know that there's no room in my heart for doubt.

Sumisikip ang dibdib ko habang papasok kami sa loob ng Gesù. Hindi maalis ang ngiti nito kaninang umaga pa kaya hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan niya akong dalhin ngayon dito kung kelan wala namang misa? Bea was holding my hand and she looked at Him as she raised our hands intertwined.
