Sacrifices (JhoBeaJie Fanfiction)

C h a p t e r 4

Nung akmang itatayo ko na sya biglang---

"Aray!" napapikit ako kasi nahulog yung pus-- I mean ako nahulog kay Ennajie.

Nakapatong ako sakanya and this is very awkward.

Tinitigan ko siya.

Why is she so beautiful? I've never seen any girl like her before.

Nakapikit rin si Ennajie.

I can't stop staring at her angelic face. And her scent is so addicting.

*Kriiiiiiiiiiiiiiing*

Natauhan na lang ako nang biglang nag bell. Sign na recess is over.

"Uhm.. Bea? You're heavy and---"

Napatayo naman ako bigla.

"Oops.. I'm sorry Ennajie. I didn't mean to do it. I'm very very sorry talaga." I offered again my hand and this time I won't let myself fall again.

When she stands up, her face changed at parang may masakit.

"Ah! Sheez.. Wai-- Ara-- Ugh masakit shemay!"

Agad ko naman siyang inalalayan. Siguro na sprain yung paa niya dahil sa banggaan at pagkabagsak niya.

Hay nako! Kahit kailan ang tanga mo Beatriz!

"Tara, Ennajie! Sorry talaga. Di ko talaga sinasadya. I was running after Mads kasi nagtampo siya kaya di na ko nag atubiling tumingin kaya---" she interrupted me using her index finger

"Shhh. Stop explaining na Bea. It's okay. Gagaling rin to." she smiled at me.

"Uhm.. Thank you Ennajie ah? You're so bait talaga" I smiled at her but still worrying.

"No problem Bea, basta ikaw"

I smiled at her.

"Ahm.. And Bea?"

"Yes?"

"Just call me Ej na lang. Medyo mahaba kasi yung Ennajie and besides we're friends naman."

Oo nga noh, ngayon ko lang rin napansin na mahaba pala talaga yung pangalan niya.

"Oh, sure! Kaya mo ba? I mean malapit na kasi tayo malate eh"

"Yes kaya ko to." she smiled again.

"Alalayan na lang kita? Okay lang ba yun?"

"Sige if that's what you want"

Pumunta na kami sa room namin and as expected late kami pero di naman kami masyadong napagalitan kasi we're excused. Buti na lang at hindi masyadong strict ang teacher namin. Kilala na rin ako dito sa school bilang honor student pero syempre hindi ko pinagmamayabang yun cause my parents thought me na be humble everytime.

Hindi ko namalayan na magta-time na pala. Sobrang bilis naman pala ng oras.

*Fast Forward*

Ilang buwan na rin ang lumipas at naging mas malapit kami sa isa't isa ni Ej. Naging close na rin sila nila Mads at Trey.

Si Rex at Trey naman? Ayun nagliligawan pa rin. Consistent kasi masyado si Trey kaya ayaw niya munang magkaroon ng boyfriend. Gusto muna nila makapag graduate bago maging sila. Odiba? Ilang years pa magaantay si Rex. Pero alam ni Rex na worth it naman yung paghihintay niya because they love each other na. But wala pa silang label. MU pa lang sila meaning Mutual Understanding. Parehas sila ng nararamdaman sa isa't isa at makikita mo sa mga mata nila na mahal nila yung isa't isa kahit hindi pa sila. Makikita mo on how they talk to each other, how they look at their eyes, yung mga ngiti nila na alam mong may laman, alam mong inlove sila. Pero syempre, hindi naman nila naiiwasan yung tampuhan, awayan at selosan. Syempre part na rin yun ng lovelife. Mas tumitibay yung pagsasama niyo at nalalaman yung pagkakamali mo na hindi mo na dapat ulitin. Kung mauulit man yun na ay hindi sinasadya. Ramdam mo sakanila na ayaw nila mawala yung isa't isa.

Si Mads? Ayun natanggap niya na bestfriends lang talaga kami eventhough may feelings pa rin siya sakin. Hindi siya nagbago. May mga nanliligaw na rin dito sa chinita kong bestfriend pero always rejected hahaha. Study first daw muna kasi siya. As if I know naman hays. Medyo malungkot rin to si Mads dahil sa nalaman niya. Ah basta! Nagkaroon rin pala kami ng iba pang kaibigan. Tropa tropa ganun. Including my other classmates na naging close ko at syempre sila Mads, Trey at Ej kasama na dun.

Habang ako? I had this strange feelings. Tinatago ko to for almost a month. Yung kapag nakikita ko siya parang nagsslow motion ang buong paligid. May isang tao akong pinagsasabihan nito at si Trey yun. Kapag si Mads kasi ang sinabihan ko, I know that she would be jealous kapag magkasama kami. Kapag naririnig ko pangalan niya napapangiti ako. Naaalala ko yung unang pagkikita namin. Memorize ko na yung mukha niya, yung kamay niya, yung amoy niya, yung tawa niya, on how she talks and how she hugs me. I feel safe and protected whenever her hands are wrapped around me. Yes, she. And that is Ennajie Laure, that's right. I have a crush on Ej. Kaya naman kapag inaasar niya ko natutuwa ako pero syempre pikon ako.

While Ej? Ayun hindi pa rin niya alam na may gusto ako sakanya. And I don't know if I will confess or not. I don't want her to be awkward with me. First time ko magkaroon ng girl crush. Yes I had a boyfriend. He is Bruce, a varsity player here in Poveda. Nagsawa siya sakin kasi daw puro friends ko yung inuuna ko. He doesn't know na he's my first priority out of all people. Alam kong mali tong pagkagusto ko sa babae. And I'm scared to hell na ma-fall. Sana crush lang to. Sana infatuation lang. I don't want to fall inlove again. Natatakot ako na baka isang araw magsawa na lang sila sakin at iwan ako.

Nalaman ko rin na Ej had many ex-boyfriends. Since Grade 4 pa daw? And I can't believe it. She looks so innocent pero madami na pala syang ex. At first I was shocked pero I shrugged it. Di ko na binigdeal yun.

I admit it, hindi ko iniyakan yung ex ko. Alam ko naman na hindi worth it ng luha mo ang mga taong iniwan ka diba. Oo, nasaktan ako but I didn't cry that much. Instead, I just accept that we're just not meant to be for each other. We're friends naman na ngayon.

"Falling inlove was my biggest fear."
