Yesterday, I Loved You

Chapter XXXI • Tighten Love II

/Jhoana/

"Bea, bakit sila nandito?" I asked Bea right after she removed her hanky on my eyes.

Deanna, Ponggay, Jia, and Mich were here inside the dining area. Wearing their widest smile as they saw me, but then those smiles faded as I reacted...

Bakit naman kasi naisip ni Bea na i-invite pa 'tong mga 'to dito sa bahay nila tita Maggie? Paano kung malaman ni tita Det yung lugar nato? And diba, di naman nila kami matanggap? Bakit ba kasi sila nandito?

"Sorry for not informing you this babe, I was in rush kasi kagabi about sa magiging surprise ko sayo this morning, naisip ko na magiging masaya yung araw nato for the two of us with our friends, diba?" Bea explained, as she gave me a bouquet of yellow roses.

"Pero diba, they can't accept us..." I whispered to Bea's ears as my gaze dropped on the flowers.

"You're so negative, try to talk to them like before? Please..." Bea whispered as she pushed me playfully.

Deanna and Ponggay gave me their small smile while preparing our breakfast, Mich sit on the kitchen counter while talking to Bea, and Jia was just beside Mich standing while her arms were crossed on her chest...

I walked through Jia and stand beside her. "Salamat sa pagdating, good na tayo?" I asked her silently as the past pulled me.

"Jho naman..." She muttered as she turned to look at me, and shocked when she saw my tears making their way down my face. "Hey, don't cry Jhoana...OMG. Let's go nga sa may living room, baka akalain ni Beadel pinaiyak kita..." She whispered as she entwined our hands and guided me to the living room.

"Ikaw kasi Jia..." I said while pouting and wiping my tears out of my eyes.

"Oh anong ako? Ikaw nga dyan bigla umiyak, di naman ako eh." She said as she pushed me playfully sa may sofa while laughing.

"Eh kasi nga akala ko magagalit ka ulit sakin, kasi mali nga diba?" I muttered as I sit on the sofa with her.

"That rule is the stupidest rule created in this world." She stated.

"Why naman?" I asked her while drying my eyes with my hands...

"Right after we knew kasi what's you and Bea have they idolized you very much, like lantad talaga... Parang si Deanna and Pongs, sila na rin, but don't tease them ha? Haha!" After that she laughed abruptly. "Si Mich naman may Nicky ngayon. Gahd? Magkaka-rule pa ba kung ganon?" She explained as her eyebrows creased. But then, after stating those she laughed again as looked at me. "Wala namang mali sa ganyan, kaya don't worry na..." She continued as her laughs eased.

My lips formed a smile as my arms wrapped around Jia, I just can't believe it. Like duh? They've already accepted us! They can understand us, finally...

"Talaga? Deanna and Pongs? OMG! Wait I'll just---"

She grabbed my hand to stop me on standing from the sofa...

"No Jhoana. Wait maya na, dito ka muna. Let's talk? About You and Bea nalang, okay?" She said as her eyes became lines.

Hulluh? Segway lang? Nice huh. Bakit kaya? Naiilang ba sila Wong and Pong pag tinutukso?

"About how we kiss ba? How Bea and I make lo---"

"Ow drop it. Stop that Jho! Creepy naman! Let's go na nga lang dun..."

"Oh andyan na pala kayong dalawa, Jia san mo ba naman kasi dinala 'tong babe ko?" I asked Jia while making my voice more funny para magtunog joke lang.
