If Our Love Is Wrong

"Tama na drama Team Beh. Mauubos na yung kandila oh." Pagbasag ni Jia sa moment namin ni Jho kaya napakalas na tuloy sya sa pagyakap sa akin.

Basag trip ka Morado! Kung hindi lang din ako nangangalay sa hawak kong cake at sunflowers maiinis ako 😅

"Make a wish na Jho." Nakangiting sabi ni Miguel.

Jho nodded and closed her eyes in front of the cake I am holding. She's smilling while making a wish kaya napasmile ako. I wonder what her wish is all about. Whatever that is, sana mabigay or magawa ko for her.

After nya magwish, she blew her candle kaya nagpalakpakan yung apat and they greeted and hugged Jho habang hawak nya yung sunflowers na binigay ko.

Nilapag ko yung cake sa gilid and I satisfyingly watch her. I didn't thought I could pull out this little surprise for her to be honest. Buti na lang Jia was there to help me and she was the one who bought all these stuff. Sayang lang kasi it should have been more napaghandaan kung maaga lang talaga yung uwi ko sa Pilipinas. But at least the surprise is successful though kahit muntik pa pumalpak at some point.

When our plane landed in NAIA at 11pm, I couldn't contain my excitement kahit parang feeling ko babagsak na ang katawan ko because of jetlag.

Finally, after 3 weeks makikita ko na ulit si Jho. I thought when we got out of the airport.

God, I miss her so much.

Sa sobrang excitement ko nga I almost beg Dad to drop me off sa dorm tonight so I can see Jho already. But then I received a text from Jia.

From: Jia
Bei! Nakalapag na ba kayo? Btw, wala ka na bang ipapadagdag para sa surprise kay Jho tomorrow?

Shocks. Buti na lang nagtext si Jia. Kundi sira ang plano if ever nagpakita ako kay Jho tonight.

Ok Beatriz, control yourself if you don't want your plan to be ruined.

To: Jia
Nothing na Ju. Thank u so much talaga. I don't know what will i do kung wala ka. U da best 😘

While on the way home, hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog pala ako until we got sa house. Pagdating namin deretso tulog na ulit ako because of too much jetlag. Buti na din yon kasi baka hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko at bigla akong magdrive ngayon papunta sa dorm.

I woke up around 11:30am. I still have time to prepare for my surprise kay Jho. Sobra akong natetempt na tawagan sya ngayon to greet her pero pinigilan ko ulit ang sarili ko for the sake of my surprise.

Grabe ang hirap pala ng ganto 😣

Pero ok lang. Kung napigilan ko nga ang self ko these past few days ng hindi nagpaparamdam sa kanya, ngayon pa kaya? Pero ang hirap na talaga!

Kaya I called Jia na lang para makibalita.

"Hello Ju?" I said when she picked up her phone. Oh thank God. It means lunch break na ng ALE because sinagot nya yung phone.

[Oh Bei. Welcome home!]

"Thanks. Am I disturbing you?"

[Hindi naman. We're just waiting for the food to arrive. Nagpadeliver kasi si Coach Tai.]

"Uhm Ju? Nandyan ba si Jho?" Halos pabulong kong sabi over the phone. I don't know kung bakit ko binulong yon eh hindi naman ako maririnig ni Jho.

[Yup. She's at the other side of the court all alone.]

I can already imagine her sitting alone sa bleacher. Typical Jhoana.
