Beautiful Soul (JhoBea Story)

Part 17... what Might hAve bEen

Bea ano ba? Don't tell me dito talaga? Reklamo ko sa kasama ko and she eventually stopped from what she's doing.

We used to do this in here db? Para ka namang iba. Sagot nito pabalik sa akin.

Hoy Beatriz! Mga bata pa tayo noon. Di pa matitigas mga buto natin sa katawan. Reklamo ko ulit sa kanya but only gave me a death glare.

Okay then, lets go at the back so we could move freely. She said while preparing herself to go at the back of the car.

Really now Bea dito? In the middle of nowhere? I said as I complained again.

Jho, madaling araw okay. Walang tao niyan. Sagot niyo.

She looks out to even check the place... ang landi na niya... so Beatriz! 🙄

See, we don't even know saan tayo sa oras na to. She added and went at the back of her car.

I remained at the driver's seat.

Can't move...

I don't even know if what we are doing is right. I told her sadly.

I respect you Jho. In as much as I want you but I need to respect that. But please do know na hindi ako si Ged. Sagot niya sa akin. I will never hurt the way he did to you. She added.

I know Bea.. I know. Its just that I ... Wasn't even finish with my statement til she butts in.

You're not ready. She said as she bowed down her head.

I can see from the rear-view mirror how disappointed she was but tries to maintain her respect on me.

Hindi madali sa akin ang lahat ng ito Bea. Lahad ko. I underwent trauma... I didn't even know how I survived that. Dagdag ko pa. But one thing for sure, natatakot ako. Takot na masaktan. Na everytime may humawak sa akin pakiramdam ko sinasaktan ako. Halos mangiyak ngiyak kong sabi sa kanya.

I didn't receive a response from her. Instead, she went out of the car and went back to the passenger seat in front.

She took a deep breath before she answered me.

I'm sorry. I may not know how much you suffered from him but I completely understand Jho. I'm sorry kung pinilit ko. She sincerely apologized.

A moment of silence prevailed...

I was calling your name then Bei. I was calling for you...I said and teardrops started falling down my face.

Jho please. If your not ready, wag na muna. I can wait. She apologetically told me again.

No Bei. Please... let me...
Hear it from me...
You deserved to know everything. I insisted on her.

Okay then, I'll listen.. she said plainly.

I'm not sure if I am this ready to tell her, but I think its about time to let it out.

Susunod talaga ako sayo sa America... was my opening statement.

I know, my parents told me. She butts in..

Bea please... I begged to stop her.

Twas a plan. A plan you never knew dahil kung malalaman mo for sure you'll stay. I continued...
