If Our Love Is Wrong

Two

Beatriz

Wait, did I heard that right?

Did Jho just called me Beh?

I dont know what to say kasi first time may tumawag sakin ng ganon. Even my Poveda friends and close friends dont call me that. Mas sanay ako sa 'Bea' or 'Bei' lang.

Kaya hearing that from Jho parang I feel like uncomfortable... in a good way naman I guess.

"Beh?" Tanong ko sa kanya kaya natigilan sya.

"Yes beh?" Tanong naman nya pabalik.

Natawa ako. "I mean, beh talaga Jho?"

"Ahh!" Napasapo sya sa noo nya sabay tawa "Ayaw mo ba? Di ka ba pwedeng tawaging beh?" Kunot noo nyang tanong.

Umiling ako pero pabiro lang naman. Wala naman problem sakin yon to be honest.

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Jho.

"Ay ok sorry. Bea na lang tatawag ko sayo. Kalimutan mo na yon." Naiilang nyang sabi.

"Kidding! I'm just being playful." Inakbayan ko sya. "You can call me whatever you want naman."

"Talaga?"

"Yup. Cute nga eh."

"Baka napipilitan ka lang?"

"Of course not!" I said while opening the door of my car for her.

My God Jho, so kulit ha.

"Sure ka?" She asked before going inside my car.

"Oo nga beh." Natatawa kong sabi kasi ang kulit nya eh.

Beh. I like it.

Ngayon ko lang nalaman na she's kinda makulit din pala talaga. I think magkakasundo naman pala kami. Though I wish I knew sooner, nasayang pa tuloy ang isang season.

"Okay beh." Nakangiti nyang sabi.

Then I went inside my car na and drove to Sambo alone with Jho beside me for the first time.

When we arrived at Sambo, nakita ko kung paano naexcite si Jho sa mga pagkain. Agad nya kasi akong hinila papunta sa table.

Looks like magkakasundo kami when it comes to food ah.

Ayoko sanang aminin to. Pero I'm kinda matakaw talaga di lang obvious. Ask my team mates.

Actually, madalas nga kami dito sa Sambo nila Maddie, Therese and Kim because this is our go to buffet resto when we're in the mood to pig out. And kapag may mga special occassions naman dito din kami madalas ng ALE kumain kaya hindi na bago samin ni Jho yung lugar.

This is like our home na nga eh.

Jho and I ate like there's no tomorrow.

Masyado yata kaming napagod at nagutom sa training kanina kaya we didn't care kung maparami ang kain namin.

Personally, I dont care talaga if i eat too much. I'm not that kind of person who limit myself when it comes to food kasi talaga. So when Jho told me na ganon din sya, I realized, out of all our opposites there are many similarities din pala.

While were eating, we started telling each other why we chose Ateneo. She said that its her dream school daw kasi and for her mas mabibigyan sya ng opportunity to be able to be succesful when it comes to volleyball.

So when it's my turn to answer, I kinda hesitated because my reason is not as deep as hers. Nakakahiya yung reason ko pero I told her din naman.

"Actually all of my family are from La Salle talaga so its like everyone's expecting me to be in La Salle too."
