You (Jhobea)

Chapter 32

BEA

Dahan dahan kong iminulat ang mga mata ko. Mejo masakit kasi ang ulo ko.

I absentmindedly got my phone as side table to check the time. Nahagip ng mga mata ko ang picture frame na nasa side table. Picture namin to ni Jho nung nasa Siquijor kami. I think ito yung first picture namin together.

Nagtaka ako bakit nandito to eh nasa condo namin to ni Jho.

Mabilis akong bumangon at tinignan ang paligid ko.

"What the fuck!" Malakas na sabi ko.

How did I get here? Wala akong maalala.

I swear hindi na ako iinom with Ria.

And then a realization hit me.

Napasapo nalang ako as noo ko.

F*ck!

Hinalikan ko si Jho!

Hinalikan ko si Jho!

"Aaaaaaaaargggggghhh!!!!!"

Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Ben.

Oo nga pala pumunta pala ako dito para sundoin si Ben. Ang daming tanning sa isip ko.

Lumapit sa akin si Ben at humalik sa pisngi ko.

"Mommy! Are you alright?" Tanong naman niya sakin. He had a worried look on his face. How cute is this kid!

"Im okay anak. Did you eat breakfast na?" sagot ko naman while hugging him.

"Yep! Tita Jho made pancakes with bacon and eggs for breakfast. But I'm not sure if there's anything left for you coz we ate it all!" He said with a smile.

"Where is your Tita Jho?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"She's outside. She fell asleep while we were watching a movie. I will just go outside mommy you can join us if you want to."

" Okay. I will just fix myself and then I will come out na. You let your Tita Jho rest for a while okay?"

"Okay!" sagot naman nito at tumakbo na palabas.

I took a deep breath at bumangon na. Inilibot ko ang tingin ko sa buong kwarto. Kwarto namin ni Jho dati. It's exactly how it looked the last time I was here. Lahat ng pictures namin andito parin. Basically the condo looked the same as if I never left at all. I was tempted to open the cabinets to see if our instax photos are still pinned there but I stopped when I noticed what I was wearing.

What the f*ck Beatriz!

It was bad enough na hinalikan mo si Jhoana binihisan ka pa niya! Anuna self!

You tried so hard to be cool and collected on your dad's party kahit angulat ka dahil andon siya only to blew it a few weeks after! What else did you f*cking do?!!

I was mentally scolding myself in the bathroom. Sobrang frustrated ako like what the hell! Naghilamos ako at naghanap na unused toothbrush sa medicine cabinet ni Jho. I know she always has spare stuff in here.

Tama nga ako. Meron!

Kinuha ko nalang yun. Sasabihin ko nalang kay Jho mamaya. Habang nagtotoothbrush ako inisip ko kung bakit ako napunta dito. The last thing I know was sinundo ako ni Ria sa airport but instead of going home we had a few drinks muna. After that everything was a blur.

The next thing I remember was dad calling and Jho opening the door for me. I remember the kiss but I don't remember anything else! Now I'm wearing what I believe to be my oversize Uni shirt and my boxers.
