/Bea/

(Present)

"My gahd. Unplanned takas for the 2nd time talaga ang peg..." I whispered for another time as I looked down. "Grabe ang taas pala talaga..." I whispered again as I sit on the edge of the roof.

"Pst!"

A shadow of a guy standing outside the gate, he's riding on a bike while pointing his finger at me...

"Shh!" I reacted as I waved my hands at him, signing him to stop on what he is doing right now, baka marinig kasi siya nila mom...

"Susumbong kita!" He shouted while making her way to our gate as he parked his bike on the side walk.

I stood and slapped my forehead at the same time...

Di ba talaga 'to nakakaintindi? Takte. Nakakaloka 'tong guy nato huh? I don't know what to do na...kainis.

*Arf! Arf! Arf! - OMG. Nakita pa ni George yung guy nato, dagdag pa tuloy sa ingay...

"Please, no po..." I said as I waved my hands at him again.

Pano ba niya mage-gets na tiga dito naman talaga ko? Huh? Pano nalang kung marinig siya nila mom and dad dahil sa ginagawa niya? Edi sira na plan ko...plus mo pa yung ingay ni George...

He stared at me while walking, I stared at him too with my pleasing face... Then the light coming from our house revealed his face...

Whuuut? Oh my gahd. But how naman? Diba...

"Thirdy?" I asked while steadying myself.

"Bea?" He asked at the same time while scratching his nape.

Omygahd. This can't be talaga, no, no, no...

10pm.

"Sino yon?" Jaja asked herself right after she saw a lady outside their house; sitting on the grass while crying desperately...

"Si..." She muttered as she get out of her bed quickly.

She ran downstairs. Fast. Wobbly. Not looking on something or someone that will stop her on running...

She has a doubt...

"Ja?" Lovel reacted as she saw her daughter Jaja running to the door na para bang may humahabol dito...

Lovel was now inside their kitchen, preparing their packed dinner, she's in rush obviously. At exactly 7:00pm kasi, aalis na sila ni Jaja, and 6:49pm na...

"Ja? Bakit ka ba nagmamadali?" Lovel asked again.

Jaja didn't respond to her mother like what she did lately. She just opened their front door and ran towards their gate. And as she opened their gate...

Her tears fell from her eyes automatically. Silent sobs, knees were weak, palms were sweating. Her heart was beating abnormally...

"Ate Jhoana?" She said in between her sobs while covering her mouth with her both hands.

Jhoana didn't respond or even look at her sister, she just lowered her head and cried silently while slapping the grass softly...

"Where did you go? Bigla-bigla nalang mawawala? Di mo man lang kami naisip? Huh? Ano? Independent ka na ba ngayon?!" Jaja asked her ate Jhoana while closing their gate silently.

Still, no response from crying Jhoana Louisse...

"Ate, 8 days kang nawala! Then ngayon babalik ka ng ganito pa?! Ang selfish mo naman ate! Pinag-alala mo kaming lahat, alam mo ba yon?! Tapos babalik kang umiiyak ng ganyan?!" Jaja shouted while stamping her feet on the wet grass.
