Yesterday, I Loved You

Chapter X • Break The Wall

/Jhoana/

"Jho, wag mo na siyang sundan. Hayaan muna natin siyang mapag-isa."

"Kim, she needs me. Sorry but, I am her best friend..."

I run as fast as I can, without any direction. It's just my heart that was guiding me,  that was leading my way to her.

I know. Ang tanga ko talaga, bakit ba humantong lahat ng bagay na to sa sitwasyong ito? Ako lang naman talaga ang dahilan, ako lang talaga. Hindi siya dapat masaktan ng ganito, ako lang dapat ang sumasalo nito. Ayokong nakikita siyang umiiyak, ayokong nakikita siyang nasasaktan dahil...oo, Jho mahal mo siya, higit pa sa isang kaibigan. Pero alam mong hindi pwede, alam mong bawal kayo. At isa pa, ikaw lang naman sainyong dalawa ang nakakaramdam ng bagay na yun, kaibigan lang ang turing niya sayo, at hindi na hihigit pa dun...

Finally, I saw her, alam kong siya yun kahit madilim. She was just laying on the grass near the pond, while covering her face with her both hands. Ewan, para siyang bata...

"No, no. Hindi talaga pwede to Bea, hindi kayo pwede..."

Kahit mahina, narinig ko yun. Rinig na rinig ng dalawang tenga ko lahat ng sinabi niya, kami lang namang dalawa ang nandito ngayon. Kami lang dalawa...

'Hindi kayo pwede'? Ano kaya yun? KAMI? Hindi, hindi Jho, wag kang mag-assume kasi masasaktan ka lang...

"Pero...mahal kita Jho. I love you...kahit itanggi ko pa...kahit iwasan ko pa, kahit itago ko pa...wala namang nagbago. I still love you Jhoana Louisse Maraguinot!" Then she removed her hands on her face, and slowly she opened her eyes...

Napatayo siya nung oras na makita niya ko. Gulat na gulat talaga siya, hindi niya alam kung titingin ba siya sakin o ano. She stepped back, then she started covering her mouth and nose with her hands, ganun talaga siya pag kinakabahan.

"Bea..." I murmured.

"Jho. Ah, eh... A-anong ginagawa mo dito? K-kanina ka pa ba?"

"Shhh..."

I moved closer to her. Then I removed her hands from her nose and mouth and then I hold them. They were really cold and obviously her hands were shaking as I hold them. She's totally nervous, I can see it in her eyes.

"Narinig ko na. Don't deny it Bea, you loved me..."

"Sorry Jho---"

"Shhh Bea..."

I looked at her eyes again, then I hold her face with my both hands. Then slowly, my gaze dropped on her lips, it was like tempting me...

"Bea, mahal din kita. I loved you too Isabel Beatriz De Leon...so much."

And after saying those words, parang may sasabihin pa sana siya...but I can't stop myself to take a revenge with that tempting lips, I kissed her passionately and without any hesitations she responded to my kisses. I was obviously chasing my breaths right now, but I don't want us to stop. The kiss was sensational. It's different and...amazing. Bea was a great kisser, and her first kiss was mine, only mine.

Her hands were on my waist and mine were hooked on her neck. The kiss lasts for 15 seconds, I guess. And as I opened my eyes after that kiss, I looked at her. She's smiling and that makes me smile too.

"Bea?!" I exclaimed.

"I feel so guilt Jho..."

"Huh? W-what?" I stepped back.

"I feel so guilt kasi...natapos yun."

Then I hit her shoulder because of what she says and then we laughed together. After that I hold her hands tightly, then she pulled me for a hug.
