Reasons (Jhobea) - Completed

Fourty Nine

"What?" Natatawang sabi ni Bea but her expression changed when she saw others' expressions especially Jho's.

"Is this serious?" She turned to Mika. "Mika?"

Mika get a picture in their living room and showed it to Bea.

It is Maddie laying in front of a girl who's face cannot be seen.

"Ano 'to?"

"That is Jho, holding Maddie." Mika said.

Bea looked at the picture for a few moments.

"So?" She asked Mika.

"Jhoana killed Maddie. Hawak hawak niya jaan si Maddie. That is after she shot her." Sagot ni Mika.

"Hindi iyon ang nangyari." Jho defended.

"Sinungaling!" Mika pointed at Jho.

"Hey, let Jho explain." Sabat ni Jia.

Jho tried to walk near where Bea is.

Bea looked at the picture once again and then back at Jho with a dwelling eyes.

"Is this you?" Bea asked.

Unti unting hinawakan ni Jho si Bea. "I can explain."

Bea shook her head. "You know Maddie?"

"Bea." Jho cleared her throat.

A tear escaped Bea's eyes. "You killed Maddie?"

"No no no." Hinawakan niya ang braso ni Bea. "Babe, no I didn't kill Maddie."

"Yeah? So how do you explain that picture?" Mika chipped in.

"How would explain na hawak hawak mo si Maddie while she's all bloody? Huh, Jho?" Mika again asked.

Hindi makapaniwalang tinignan ni Bea si Jho.

"That picture does not narrate everything that happened that night." Jho explained.

Tinanggal naman ni Bea ang kamay ni Jho nakahawak sakanya.

"Get out of here." Bea said.

"No, Bea." Lumapit ulit si Jho kay Bea. "Please let me explain."

"Ano nanaman ba, Jho?" Bea wiped her tears. "Ano nanamang kasinungalingan ang kailangan kong marinig?"

"Hindi ako nagsisinungaling, Bea. Please just listen to me."

"No! I am done listening to you. Pagod na pagod na ako. I am so tired loving you. This love? Ang dami dami nang naidulot na pain sa atin. It hurts so much that it is killing us." Bea said.

"Bea please please makinig ka naman sa akin. Mahal kita, totoo yun." Jho said.

She get Bea's hand and put it on her heart. "Totoo ito."

Bea pulled her hand. "But love isn't enough, Jho."

"Give me a chance to explain." Jho pleaded.

"You had the chance to tell me about that. Lagi tayong magkasama. You should also told me that when you knew me and that Maddie is my bestfriend or kahit noong after the first issue." Bea said.

She looked at Jho straight to the eye. "Please get out of here because I can't take to see the person who was the reason why Kianna died and also the one who killed my other bestfriend."

"Bea." Lalapit nanaman sana si Jho kay Bea pero hinarangan siya ni Mika.

"Umalis na kayo, Jho." Sabi ni Mika.

"Mika, no. Kung sino man ang nagbigay ng picture na ito sa'yo.. do not believe him ka.."

"Jho, please get out or you'll have more charges to face in court." Mika said.
