JESSY'S POV:

I was walking my way back to my room when I bumped into Kayesha. She was asking me kung hindi raw ba ako jo-join sa kanila dun sa may sand, and I told her that I have to fix something lang sa kwarto.

I don't want to join them. Ayokong makita si Fort. Hindi tama eh. Tsaka nagulat din ako sa mga pinagsasabi ko kanina. Isa-isa kong inisip 'yung mga sinabi ko. Gosh. Parang may sumapi sa akin na ibang nilalang haha.

"At kung papipiliin man ako ng tadhana between you and him, WITHOUT THINKING TWICE, I WILL CHOOSE JUAMI."

All of these just came out of my mouth. Di ko alam kung nasabi ko ba 'to just because I'm angry with Jeric or...........

I really meant it? Baka totoo? Baka nga kapag nagkaroon ako ng chance para mamili, i'd still choose Juami. 

"Juami Tiongson is my dream guy. He's everything that I've ever wanted."

This is somewhat true. He's a perfect guy. Di ko nga alam kung bakit siya pinakawalan ni Jill, eh. Husband material na yan oh.

Pero sobrang disturbing talaga at naisip ko ang mga bagay na yun. Kung bestfriend nga lang naman tlaga ang turing ko skanya, bakit ganun mga naiisip ko? And actually, something's instructing me to go get my phone and call him right now.

And so, I did. I dialled his number and heard a few rings before he finally answered it.

[Jessyyyyy]

Hi, Little Prince.

[Is everything alright?]

I guess, not. And I'm alone. Wala akong ka-roommate.

[Hahaha cutie. Is that all?]

No.

[Oh, why ba? You're making me worried]

Fort came over to where I was a while ago. He came to talk to me about our past.

[W-what? What did you tell him?]

Mahaba sinabi ko eh. I feel so alone, i need someone to talk to. I want to hug my teddy bear.

[You never liked teddy bears, Jes. Or, did you??]

Hahaha of course you'd ask that. Don't worry, I never really liked them. I was referring to you,silly :))

[Ah, namimiss mo lang pala ako. Okay i'll be there tonight]

Seryoso?

[Yes! All for you, Little Princess!]

Awww. Yay! See you! Ingat ka okay!! Bye

[I will. See you. Bye!]

For some reason, my mood lightened up. When I heard his voice, i felt so safe. He's just the sweetest. Pupuntahan niya pa ako dito. 

I really wanted to hug him, as in literal. Kapag magkasama kasi kami, like pag mamamasyal, or magdi-dinner, or magsho-shopping, I always cling on his arms. Kapag nagkukulitan kami sa daan, he'll always wrap his arm around me. Inaakbayan nya ko, and I'll hug his waist (maliit lang ako eh, kaya waist nya yakap ko hihi). Kapag wala akong magawa, yayakapin ko siya bigla from behind. Nasanay na kasi ako. Simula bata palang kasi kami, sinanay na kami nila mommy at Tita Dinna na ganun kami ka-sweet. Gusto nga nila kasi, kami ang magkatuluyan. Hahaha.

And obviously, nadala ko yun hanggang ngayon. At kapag wala na nga akong makausap ng maayos, siya ang tinatawagan ko. Si Juami. Sino pa nga ba.

At ngayon, ako mismo, di ko na din alam kung ano bang nararamdaman ko sa kanya.

When he arrived at the resort, sinalubong ko sya sa may lobby ng hotel. We told the receptionist that he's going to be staying sa room ko since may bakante pa namang bed don. After that, pumunta na kami sa room and fixed his stuffs. Tapos, nag-aya siyang lumabas sa may tabing-dagat para magpa-hangin daw. Di kami nagpakita sa barkada. We had our own kwentuhan session. We ordered some snacks and drinks from the resort's restau and brought it with us.

"Really? You told him that? I'm so proud of you." he told me nung kinwento ko na skanya yung napag-usapan namin ni Fort. "Not all women can do that. Ang tapang mo talaga."

Juami asked me kung may nararamdaman pa ba ako kay Fort. Madali ko siyang nasagot. WALA NA. Wala na talaga. Mararamdaman mo naman yun eh, kung meron pa ba or wala na, diba. And then sabi nya bigla, " I have a confession to make. I think it's the right time for you to know the truth."

"What is it?" i asked. Kinakabahan ako.

At walang paligoy-ligoy niyang sinabi na, "The reason of Jill and I's break-up was that she knew na ikaw talaga ang mahal ko. She said na she can feel it. Lalo na nung naging kayo ni Jeric. 'Yung time na di na kita nilapitan. Yung dating masayang Juami, nawala na. Napansin pala ni Jill yon. At lagi nga kasi kitang nakukwento sa kanya. Then one day, we talked about it. We talked about the truth. That I really love you. Even before. But don't worry, I really loved Jill naman eh. Lately ko lang din naman na-realize yung feelings ko for you."

I was speechless. Di ko maprocess lahat ng sinasabi ni Juami. "Jill's okay with that naman na. In fact, diba she found Derrick na nga. Yung present nya ngayon. I'm happy for them and she's happy for me. Na finally, magkasundo na raw tayo ulit. And that the real Juami is back" he added.

"...I don't know what to say." yan na lang ang nasabi ko.

"You don't need to answer naman since it's not a question. But now, I'll ask you....."

Omg ano kayang tatanungin nya? Ang tagal na nya akong tinititigan, okaaaay

"Do you like me?"

I paused for a few seconds and sharply said, "No."

"No, I don't like you, Juami. I'm sorry."
