FALLEN (JiBea)

CHRONICLE 10

JIA POV

"Let's make a baby."

Nakalimang ulit na niyang sinabi sa akin ang mga katagang yan. At yung huli ay ibinulong niya mismo sa tenga ko.

And I was just looking at her after. Pero hindi ko malaman kung paano ko ipaliliwanag sa kanya ang sinasabi niya dahil wala naman siyang ideya about it.

Kung nandito lang si ate Ella ngayon, nasakal ko na talaga siya ng tuluyan. Siya ang may kasalanan nito, tapos ako ang magdurusa ng kabalbalan niya.

JIA: "You don't know what was that mean?!"

Buong confidence kong wika sa kanya.

BEA: "No. That is why I want it so that I will know what is it. And the small one said, you like it so I like it too."

Nakangiti niyang wika at walang bahid nang kamalayan sa mga sinasabi.

By.angon ako at magkatabi na kaming nakaupo sa bed. Tiningnan ko siya at nakatingin din siya sa akin.

JIA: "Look. Only two person who is married is allowed to that. It is a sacred thing to do."

BEA: "What does it mean?"

Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nagsasalita.

JIA: "Marriage. You don't know what is it?"

Umiling lang siya.

JIA: "How about your parents? How did they become your parents?"

BEA: "They were mate."

Napanganga ako sa kanya.

JIA: "Mate?! You mean mate? As in mate?"

BEA: "Mate. Yeah mate. Just like you and me. We were mate."

"Ibig sabihin yung mate, mag-asawa sa kanila?" 😱😱😱😱 (usal ko sa isip)

JIA: "Your parents were mate?! And how about you?"

BEA: "Because they were mate, I was born."

JIA: "How did... Hmmmm. Hmmm."

Hindi ko marecollect sa sarili ang gusto kong sabihin.

BEA: "I don't really understand the hmmmm."

Napangiti ako sa kanya kasi ginaya pa niya kung paano ko binanggit ang hmmmm.

JIA: "Nevermind."

Hindi ko rin kasi alam kung paano ko maipaliwanag sa kanya.

BEA: "What does Marriage mean?"

JIA: "Marriage is when two people who love each other made a promise to be together and spent the rest of their life together."

BEA: "Together? Like jowa?!"

JIA: "Something like that but it is more than that."

BEA: "I don't get it. You talk about a lot if things I do not understad. Like Marriage, love, sacred and hmmmm."

Natawa na ako sa huling sinabi niya.

JIA: "Hmmm. Doesn't mean anything. It is just a habit of people if they could not explain or express something."

BEA: "Ahhhh. How about marriage and love?"

JIA: "Marriage is like two persons exchanges ring inside the Church and they promised to live together."

Hindi ko na masyado kinomplicate ang paliwanag kasi hindi naman niya maintindihan.

BEA: "Ring? Live together?"
