Time After Time (Beardy Fanfic)

We are fools

Iloilo 48 hours after.

He looked at her direction, still sleeping on the duyan, with eyes shut and strands of hair almost covering her face.

He tapped her shoulder para magising.

"Hey love, kanina kapa andiyan sa duyan, bangon na. Nagpaluto ako ng seafoods bagong huli daw sabi ni Manang Elsie."

She opened her eyes and looked at him, a sly smile formed her sweet lips.

"Samahan mo muna ako dito" at hinila si Thirdy sa tabi niya sa duyan, rest her head on his chest and shut her eyes again.

"Mula ng dumating tayo, tulog ka lang ng tulog."

She looked at the direction of the sea.

"I want this kind of life, Thirds. Suddenly ayaw ko na bumalik ng Manila and just stay here for good. Kais alam ko naman pagdating natin doon problema nanaman. Ayaw ko na ng problema, ayaw ko na makita na hindi natin kayang pigilan na may mga nasasaktan because of us."

He traced her arms going to her hands and clasped them with his.

"You know we can't do that. Kapag ayaw parin nila, may masasaktam at masasaktan parin, may tutotol at tututol parin, and we can't stop them from hurting and believing that we are not for each other."

"How old are you na nga Thirds?"

His brow creased but answered anyway.

"21, turning 22. Why?"

She tightened her fingers to his.

"I am 20, we can get married if we want to. Pwede ka ng hindi humingi ng consent sa parents mo and so do I."

He felt numb for a while before looking at her direction. Hiniwakan niya ang pisngi ni Bea.

"Sure ka?"

"You? Do you even consider me as a lifetime partner Thirds?"

"More than that Babe, more than that."

He kissed the top of her head and prayed that heaven will be with them for the rest of their lives.

"Ma, can you please calm down."

"How can I calm down? Magta tatlong araw ng nawawala ang kuya mo, kasama pa si Bea na hinahanap din ng parents niya. Ni hindi natin sila ma contact. Tapos malalaman ko na si Billie pala ang may hawak ng phone niya!"

Alyssa is just sitting there, watching Mozzy walked back and fort inside the Ravena house.

"Alyssa, anak bakit naman ngayon mo lang sinabi lahat ng alam mo tungkol sa kanilang dalawa?"

She looked at Bong's direction, his eyes is full of sorrow for a child that is missing for the last three days now.

"I am sorry po, its just that I know how they are struggling na wala sanang masaktan sa desisyon nila to be together."

Mozzy is just looking at her, namumula na ang ilong sa palagiang pag iyak sa pag aalala at nagingitim ang paligid ng mga mata dahil sa puyat.

"I am his mother, ni hindi man lang siya nagsabi sa akin kung ano ang nangyayari sa kanya, kailangan pang umalis sila, ni hindi ko alam kung laigtas ba sila o nasaan na kaya. Tapos si Billie nasasaktan na, ang mga magulang ni Bea alam ko hindi na rin alam kung saan sila hahanapin, nakakahiya sa mga Capistrano at mga De leon."

Alyssa just bow down her head, ayaw niya makita ang pag iyak ni Mozzy. Dani stood up and rub Mozzy's back.

"Ma, maayos din ito, babalik din si Kuya. Tama na Ma."
