Time After Time (Beardy Fanfic)

D

Fast forward to his and her last playing year in the UAAP.

Bea's POV:

"What do you want? I have a meeting in 30 minutes."

I stood there like I am not his sister, para akong isa lang sa mga secretaries nila ni Dad. Hindi ako sanay, parang gusto ko nalang yata tumalikod at umiyak.

"Kuya kasi, gusto sana kita makausap regarding--"

"What? Regarding you and Ravena?"

He removed his glasses and raised his head from reading the documents na hawak hawak niya.

"Bakit? You think talking to me about your relationship with that guy will change a thing now?"

I swallowed an invisible lump.

"Kuya kausapin mo naman ako, since Dad had an attack you and mom are both giving me a cold shoulder. Alam ko naman na mali yung ginawa namin na umalis pero Kuya ang tagal na nun, its over a year."

"You love him that you forgot how important family is, you love him that you forgot all the values that our parents instill to us. You got blinded by that love Bea, akala mo ba hindi ko alam na sinagot sagot mo si Daddy before you run away? How dare you!"

Napatungo nalang ako, I know na mali ako sa maraming bagay, pero gusto ko lang din naman na maintindihan nila ako.

"All is settled now Kuya, si Thirdy nakipag hiwalay naman siya ng maayos kay Billie."

Tumayo na si Kuya sa pagkakaupo and put his hands inside his pocket at umiling iling.

"You think relationships are just like that? Ang bata bata mo pa Bea."

"Offcourse not Kuya, alam ko naman na hindi yun basta ganun na lang."

He looked at me intently, as if evaluating me as a person, as someone he didn't know for the longest time.

"Alam mo, kahit ano namang sabihin ko sayo hindi mo makikita ang point ko at point ni Dad, kaya wag nalang, sasama lang ang loob mo sa akin."

I was about to answer ng talikuran niya ako at lumabas ng pinto. I followed him pero parang wala na siyang balak kausapin pa ako.

"Arlene, inform the marketing staff that the meeting will start earlier. Bring us food sa conference room nalang."

Napatingin narin lang ang secretary ni Daddy sa akin pagkatapos mag "yes" kay Kuya.

I walked towards the elevator, Im trying my best to stop the tears from flowing.

Thirdy's POV:

"Hey, ok ka lang? Kanina kapa tahimik"

I put my bags at the backseat of the car and looked at my wife quitely sitting beside me.

"I talked to Kuya the other day."

I never responded and waited for the story.

"He seems like he doesn't want to see me or even felt my presence."

I put my arms around her shoulders and pull her for a hug and just kissed her forehead. I was just planning on telling her the problem of Papa with the Capistranos, after Manong si Papa naman ang may problema sa kanila, pero mukhang it would just add sa mga iniisip niya.

"Everything will be fine, let's just give it time, ok?"

She raised her eyes on me before nodding.

"I love you, Thirds, just stay with me."

"I will, I'll always will."

Jho's POV:

"Uhm Jho, coffee?"

I almost walked back to my bedroom hen I saw Bea here at the Dorm's kitchen. Nagri review siguro kaya mag-isa dito at this wee hours of the night.

Umiling lang ako at nilampasan siya to get a glass of water.

"Pati ba naman ikaw, hindi mo pa rin ako papansinin?"

That got me. My hands stopped in mid-air. Naramdaman ko nalang na niyakap niya ako from behind.At first parang ayaw ko gumalaw,pero ng maramdaman ko na parang humihikbi siya, i turned around to faced her.

"Uy! bakit ka umiiyak?"

"Sino namang di maiiyak? Yung family at bestfriend mo almost a year ka ng hindi pinapansin."

"Andiyan naman si Thirdy for you,  isn't that enough?"

She shake her head saka hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Yes I love him at masaya ako na pinaglaban namin yung relationship namin,pero mas masaya sana ako kung nararamdaman ko na masaya din yung mga  taong nakapaligid sa amin. And you are one of the most important Jho,bestfriend kita eh."

"We are just after your welfare Bea, he hurted you once. Then you made us all looked stupid."

"I am sorry, believe me, if I could have it the other way i would have not cause you that kind of betrayal."

Then her sobbing got worse, i guess she really is sorry. I hugged her and rubbed her back.

"Ssshhh ok na, stop crying na bhe."

She pulled herself from the hug and smiled.

"Ok na tayo? Bestfriends again?"

"Baliw! never naman mapuputol yun."

"Nag usap na kami ni Billie,she'll contact you one of these days."
