One Sided Love

OSL-VI

Bea's POV

I'm still bothered by my thought. Yung iniisip ko pa simula ng tuesday. Saturday na. As usual, mag-isa na naman ako sa dorm, ganun pa rin dating gawi, si Ju may date, si Kim and Jho may klase pa.

Medyo umiiwas din ako ng unti kay Jho, kasi tinitignan ko yung effect ng walang Jho, pero mahirap pala. Mahirap na wala kang nakakasama, wala yung palaging nagpapasaya sayo. Parang laging may kulang pero gusto ko muna ng kasiguraduhan sa nararamdaman ko at niya kung baga space para sa aming dalawa.

Kapag ganito sinusundo ko siya from class. Pero, naisipan kong wag muna.

I texted her.

"Best sorry di kita masusundo marami pa kasi akong tatapusin na assignment. Babawi ako next time promise."

Marami naman talaga akong assignments pero sa totoo lang mas gusto ko munang mag-isip isip.

Natigil naman ako sa pag-iisip nung bumukas yung pinto.

"Hi Bei. Himala di ka nagmamadaling magbihis ngayon ah. Hahaha" -pagbibiro ni Ju

"Hey!" -i greeted her

"Di mo susunduin si Jho?" -Ju

"Marami pa kong tinatapos na schoolworks at paperworks." -I lied I know

"Wow. That's new." -Ju

Nag-hand gesture siya kung pwedeng umupo sa kama ko. I nodded and hinawi ko yung mga gamit ko para bigyan sya ng space.

"What's the prob, Bei?" -Ju

Nagulat naman ako sa tanong niya.

"Funny guess, Ju, but, also wrong. Kasi wala naman akong problema, Hahaha" -I answered her confidently para di na sya magduda pa.

"Nice try, Bei. You can't fool me. I know there is." -Ju, seryoso na siya.

What's with her today?

"Kelan ka pa naging mind reader, Ju? Hahahaha, wala kasiiii" -I'm keeping this conversation cool.

"Okay lang naman if you dont trust me." -Ju, akmang aalis na sya tapos parang nagtatampo.

Hinawakan ko naman yung braso niya at napaupo ulit sya.

"Okay. Okay. You win!" -me, tapos naghands up pa ko as a sign of defeat.

"Let me guess, it's about Jho." -Ju

Edi siya na psych student. Tumango na lang ako.

Right after I responded to Ju's question, nag-vibrate yung phone ko indicating a text from jho, napansin din Ju yun.

I opened the message.

"Okay lang, Bei. We'll have lunch ni Marci." -Jho

"Paano ko nalaman? Alam kong linggo-linggo kang umiiyak nun. Right? Remember the day na umuwi ako galing date namin ni Miguel, the day you were crying. The last time you cried about more than a month ago now." -she continued when I finished reading the text

Of course, how could I forget Ju? It's because of you.

"Yeah." -Me

"I know it was the last time you cried, because after that, you and Jho became super close. Not until this week. Sobrang close nyo, pero nitong huling linggo, I guess starting Wednesday, you were so cold at each other." -Ju

Hands down ako sa pagiging manghuhula ni Ju.

"Do you want to ask something?" -Ju

"How do you know it's love you are feeling?" -nagulat naman ako sa tanong ko, ba't bigla-bigla na lang ako nagsasalita.
