THE VOLLEYBOSS (JIBEA)

PART 50 - SORRY

JIA POV

I am on my way sa room ni Bea sa hospital. Nasa byahe na ako pabalik ng hospital ng tumawag si kuya Loel, saying that Bea is awake.

Pagbaba ng kotse tumakbo agad ako papunta sa room. Halos dalawang oras din ako sa traffic, para lang makarating.

Halos gusto ko na lang takbuhin mula sa kotse hanggang hospital sa sobrang traffic. I am just really too excited to see her.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto, yung mata ko ay tumutok sa bed kung saan lagi nakahiga si Bea.

And she was there, naka slouche sa bed and talking with Codie. Her parents were also there, and they all look at me. And she also did.

Whe she turned to me, parang nag slowmo lahat. Nang magtama ang paningin namin, she smiled at me. And just like that my heart melts.

I run towards her and hug her tight as I place my head on her neck and my hand around her waist.

JIA: "I miss you boo. I miss you."

I really do. It has been a week mula ng mabaril siya at ngayon lang nagising. And part of the plan was, magtatago kaming dalawa habang hindi pa siya nagigising dahil wala paring lead sa kaso.

Pero ang advice ng doctor na kapag nagising na siya at pwede na bumiyahe tsaka lang siya papayagan kaya wala kaming choice kundi dagdagan na lang ang security.

It has been a week na rin akong pabalik balik sa hospital para bantayan siya and be at her side. And now, she is awake right before my very eyes.

Kaya hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko, bigla ko siya niyakap. And she returned my embrace by wrapping her hands on me and kiss the top of my head.

BEA: "I miss you too, boo."

Malambing niyang respond sa mababang boses. And with that, my tears fell from my eyes.

"My God, I just really miss her so much." (sabi ko sa isip)

Yumakap lang ako sa kanya at hindi bumitiw.

BEA: "It's okay. I'm here now."

But I just keep on crying on her shoulders.

DAD: "Labas lang muna kami. Maiwan na namin kayo."

Narinig kong wika ng Daddy niya at lumabas na ang mga ito. Kaya naiwan na lang kaming dalawa ni Bea sa room.

Iniangat niya ang ulo ko so she can take a glimpse of me. She wipe my tears and smiled at me.

BEA: "Enough of the cry, boo. I am pretty much okay now."

Wika niya sa mahina na boses. Kaya halos wala pang lakas sa boses niya.

JIA: "I am sorry."

Yun agad ang unang pumasok sa utak ko. Ang tagal ko na kasing gustong iparinig yun sa kanya.

BEA: "Shhh. It's okay."

JIA: "I am sorry, it is my fault. Sorry."

Pagsumamo ko sa kanya habang patuloy na umiiyak.

BEA: "Shhhh. I don't want to hear you saying sorry to me again. And I don't want to hear you blaming yourself about what happened. Okay?!"

Wika niya sa medyo naiinis na tono. And I just nodded but my tears just keeps on flowing.

JIA: "Natakot ako. And I just missed you."

BEA: "I am too. I thought I am not gonna see you again. But you are here now."
