PHOTOGRAPH (JIBEA)

14-DATE

BEA POV

I'm here at the dormitory of the lady eagles. Jia was upstairs taking a bath and I'm stuck here with her crazy friends. I do expect that they will gonna ask questions about us.

DEN: "Can I ask you a question?"

BEA: "Yes po."

DEN: "How serious are you about our baby Ji?"

I can feel with the way she asks, she wants me to feel that she doesn't trust me at all. She is the type of person that you cannot easily persuade.

BEA: "I understand if you don't trust me that much. But I can assure you, Jia will be fine with me."

LY: "You can't blame us for not trusting you. We know nothing about you. We cared about Jia."

BEA: "I do care for her too as much as you do."

AMY: "We are sorry if you will find this conversation uncomfortable. We just want to make sure that Jia is in good hands."

BEA: "I totally understand. I can't promise you anything but I'll make sure that she will be happy with me."

MICH: "Mabuti na yung maliwanag. We just don't want Jia to get hurt. Sa gandang gwapo mo, malamang marami umaaligid sayo."

BEA: "I'm a faithful person. My heart only belongs to her."

Halos mabilaukan ako sa mga sinabi ko. Hindi ko nga alam saan nanggaling ang mga katagang yun. Dahil wala namang "kami" ni Jia.

KIM: "Wag mong paiiyakin best setter namin ah."

BEA: "Why would I even do that?!"

ELLA: "Pang ilang girlfriend mo na si Jia? Yung seryoso."

Natameme ako dun. Napapaisip ako kung magsasabi ba ako ng totoo or magsisinungaling. Sa tinatakbo ng pag-uusap namin, lying will do no good. But if I will tell the truth, they will definitely doubt my intentions with Jia.

BEA: "Honestly, well, Ahmm."

PONGGAY: "Ano bulol lang ang peg? Too many to count ba ang mga nakarelasyon mo?"

BEA: "Well, she is the first, serious one. But what happened with my relationships in the past, remains in the past. And I learned from that. What matters most is the present. I'm serious about Jia. I love her."

Then, suddenly Jia is going down the stairs. Naka short lang and ateneo shirt and white rubber shoes.

And I feel like: "Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia."

Her friends were very persistent, they wont stop unless they were satisfied. Syempre ayaw ko namang pahuhuli ng buhay.

JIA: "Ano yan? Ba't nakapalibot kayong lahat kay Bea? Grabe talaga kayo, wala na kayo pinalagpas sa pambubully niyo."

GIZELLE: "Sinusulit lang namin yung moment, minsan lang magkaroon ng gandang gwapo dito." Hahaha.

DEANNA: "And para mahawaan din kami ng hotness niya." Hahaha

LY: "Alis na ba kayo?

JIA: "Opo 'Te Ly."

PONGGAY: "My date po kayo?"

JIA: "My pupuntahan lang."

DEANNA: " Yun din po yun ate Ji."

BEA: "Shall we go now?"

Pagyayaya ko kay Jia, at para makaiwas narin sa mga teammates niya.

JIA: "Sure. Let's go. Guys alis na kami."
