PART 2.17 WORRIES

BEA POV

I am here right now at my bed and beside me is the love of my life, Jia. We are facing each other and staring at each others eyes. Katatapos lang namin maghalikang dalawa.

Her hands were on my waist. While I touch her face. Namiss ko lang na ganito kami dalawa.

BEA: "You're so beautiful."

Hindi ko napigilang bulalas sa kanya. And give her my sweetest smile.

JIA: "Bola."

She said those words with a smile on her lips and pinch my nose.

BEA: "It's not bola babe. It's true."

I took the hand that she uses to pinch my nose and brought it to my lips and kiss the palm of her hand.

JIA: "Bangon na tayo babe. Baka naka kalimutan mo may problema pa tayo?!"

Pag-iiba niya ng usapan. At hinila ang kamay sabay bumangon na siya. Pero hinila ko siya pabalik sa bed.

BEA: "Speaking of the problem, what we will do now?"

She goes back sa bed at nagseryoso ang mukha niya.

JIA: "Yung sa team, I guess we need to tell them na the truth. Yung kay Miguel naman, I am actually planning to call him later para magkita kami and tell him about us. If it is ok with you."

BEA: "Are you sure about talking to Miguel? You don't have to worry about me. If you are fine, then I'll be fine as well."

JIA: "Honestly, kinakabahan ako about kay Miguel. I don't know how he will react and baka nga may nagsabi na sa kanya sa mga nangyari kagabi. And I'm worried about how his parents would react about it."

I touch her face to calm her down. She is really worried.

BEA: "Stop worrying too much. I am here at sasamahan kita. I'll stay beside you. Sabihin mo lang."

JIA: "Huwag na babe. Kaya ko na yung sa amin ni Miguel I just have to take my time. And isa pa we still have another problem to think of, yung parents natin."

Then, I kiss her in the forehead.

BEA: "I am just here if you need me with regards to Miguel. And I can take care of my parents, kaya lang yung dad mo.... You know I'm scared of him."

Seryoso kung sabi sa kanya. Takot talaga ako sa daddy niya eh. Her dad is just so over protective of her. Pero tinawanan lang niya ako.

JIA: "Hahaha... Eversince naman takot ka sa daddy ko eh. Ang bait mo nga pag siya kausap mo. Behave na behave ka nga eh. Hahahaha"

BEA: "Tawanan ba ako. He loves you so much that it makes him so over protective of you. Kung noon nga na walang ganitong problema ganun na siya. Paano na ngayon, lalo pa at nasaktan kita. I don't even know paano pa siya haharapin."

Tumatawa pa rin siya. Then she kissed me in my forehead.

JIA: "Huwag mo na alalahanin si Papu. Hindi naman nangangagat yun. Sabay nating haharapin to. Walang iwanan."

BEA: "Promise me babe, no matter what happened, hindi ka basta susuko na lang sa ating dalawa. Just promise me that you will never leave me again kahit na mahirap. That you will fight for both of us."

JIA: "There is nothing you have to worry about babe. This time, babawi ako sayo at pangako ko yan sayo. Hindi na natin kailangan pa magtago sa lahat. Sorry kasi, you made all the sacrifices for us."

BEA: "I love you. And i will do anything for you. You should remember that always."

JIA: "I know. And I am so blessed because I have you. I love you too."
