"I'm sorry, Jhoana anak"
.
.
.
Paulit ulit na pumapasako sa isip ko yung mga salitang binitawan ni Tito Elmer, gusto kung magalit sa sarili ko.. Iniisip ko na kung na hihirapan ako, mas nahihirapan si Beatriz.. Mas masakit pala pagnalaman mo kung gaano mo nasaktan ang taong mahal mo.. parang unti unting hinahati yung puso ko..
.
.

"Tito, I'm sorry po.. alam ko pong nasaktan ko kayo, lalong lalo na po si Beatriz.. maiintindihan ko po kung magagalit kayo sakin.. Tito pl-"

Niyakap naman agad ako ni Tito Elmer..

"Shhh.. Jhoana, ako nga dapat Ang mag sorry sayo.. I know everything Jhoana, sinabi na sakin ng Tita Det mo. And I'm really really sorry. Nasaktan namin kayo ni Beatriz.."

"P-po?"

"Akala ng Tita Det mo, if naghiwalay kayo ni Bea, baka mahanap ulit nito ang sarili niya.. and Im sorry for that. I know both of you suffered too much because of that."

"T-tito k-kasi naiintindihan ko din naman po yung desisyon ni tita Det eh, hindi ko po deserve ang anak niyo..."

"Please, Jhoana. Don't say that. I thought yung nararamdaman ni Bea will only last for a couple of weeks, or months but we were wrong. I've seen her cry every night, I've seen her sleep with your photo beside her.. we thought maibabalik namin yung Beatriz na gusto namin noon, jhoana. We were wrong, because what we did, we lost our only daughter. Jho please, namimiss ko na yung mga ngiti ni Bea, yung halos hindi na makita yung mga mata niya, yung nakikita mo yung gilagid niya. I miss my daughter, Jhoana"

Nakikitang kong umiiyak na si Tito Elmer kaya napaiyak narin ako. I miss my Beatriz too. Pero, wala akong magagawa, hindi na siya ang Bea na mahal ako noon, at wala akong dapat sisihin kundi sarili ko dahil ang hina hina ko, and dali ko siyang sinukuan. 

"Jhoana anak, do you still love Bea..."

Do I still love Bea? Malamang ou, never naman nawala yun eh. But, is this love still worth fighting for? halata naman na hindi na niya ako mahal, obviously because meron na siyang Marge. 

Yan ka na naman Jhoana eh! nagpapakaduwag ka na naman!

"Jhoana please answer me.. kasi if you still love Bea, I will help you to win her back. You have my blessings this time. For real."

"P-po? A-ano pong sabi niyo tito?"

"if you still love my daughter, I will help you win her back."

Napaluha ako sa sinabi ni tito elmer. Hindi ko alam kung sa tuwa ba o sa lungkot. Tuwa dahil sa wakas, tanggap na ako ng pamilya ni Bea. Lungkot dahil, huli na. Huli na nga ba? Huli na nga ba ako Beatriz?

Nagulat naman si tito dahil lumakas bigla yung pag-iyak ko, ang sakit pala isipin na huli na ako. Ngayon lang nag si-sink in sakin na may iba nang nagpapasaya kay Bea..

"T-tito k-kasi.. m-may iba na pong m-mahal si Bea.. Huli na ako Tito.. huling huli na.."

"Malalaman natin yan Jhoana.. Trust me on this. Stop Crying.Mahal na mahal ka ni Beatriz, yung ganong pagmamahal, hindi basta basta nawawala."

I still love you, Beatriz. At ngayon magpapaka selfish muna ako.


Tito Elmer's POV

Everything that had happened was our fault. We thought we knew what was right for our daughter but no. We ended up breaking our daughter.  Masakit bilang magulang na nakikita mong umiiyak gabi gabi yung anak mo. It took us years to realize that there's nothing to fix to our daughter. She is still our daughter. I knew I failed as a daughter and I will do my best to fix all the things that I've done. And Im doing it now.

"Dad, pinapatawag mo daw ako?"

"I'm glad you're home, Beatriz. I'd like to talk to you about something in the company."

"What is it Dad?"

"You know that it's the 25th anniversary of our company right? I want you to take charge for the 25th anniversary magazine. This project is very important so I'm trusting you on this."

"No problem dad, i will do my best. Do you have any idea about the theme?"

"Actually anak, I've already talk to a company regarding on the theme. It was actually good. Gusto ko yung ideas nila. I want you to collaborate your ideas with theme. Then if it's okay with you, you can start working on it."

"I'll do my best dad. When can I meet this company?"

"Tomorrow morning.."

"Okay dad, I'll cancel my appointments. I have to go dad, I still have stuffs to do."

"i didn't know that stuffs is the other word for girls.."

"Dad, please hahaha it's not what you think. You'll meet her soon. I promise."

Bea was about to go but I called her out..

"Beatriz wait!"

She looked at me..

"I missed Jhoana.."

The moment that I've mention Jhoana's name, I saw her eyes again. Those eyes that tells stories, pain, and hurt.

"Let's not talk about her. And please, don't mention her name again."

Then she turned her back and continue walking. I hope I'm doing the right thing.


Beatriz De Leon

I was preoccupied the whole night. I don't know why all of a sudden Dad mentioned her name. I hate it that I still have to think of her. I hate it that she still affects me. And I hate her because I had a small fight with Marge during our dinner because, I was thinking of someon- thing.. something else. So I promised to take her out of dinner tomorrow evening. 

As I've said, I want to make this relationship work. It took me a while to realize.

As of now, I have to sleep early because I have a meeting tomorrow.


Jhoana Louisse Maraguinot

THIS IS IT PANCIT! 

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

"Anak ng tokneneng naman Jhoana! Ang aga aga ang ingay ingay mo!"

Nakita ko naman si Jia na mayhawak hawak na unan na itatapon sakin, buti nalang nakailag ako.

"JU! HINDI KO KAYANG MATAHIMIK!! HINDI KO ALAM KUNG NAEEXCITE AKO NA KINAKABAHAN O NATATAE LANG TALAGA, PERO JU! THIS IS IT TALAGA!!!"

"Jhoana, alam mo namang best friend mo ako pero pisti ka talaga! wag mo akong idamay sa kalandian mo! Magpatulog ka!"

Sigaw ni Jia at bumalik na ulit sa kwarto. Sorry naman ko, na eexcit elang eh hahahahaha


Tumingin ako sa salamin. ang simple lang ng suot ko, slacks, strip long sleeves and coat. 


"Maganda kana Jhoana! Kayang kaya mo yan, remember, matagal mo tong hinintay. FIVE YEARS BEH, FIVE YEARS! Wag ka nang duwag, lumakad ka na!"

Sabi ko sa sarili ko. nabubuang na ata ako, hindi ko alam parang sasabog na yung puso ko. 


Ano man maging resulta ngayon, pero masaya ako dail makikita ko sya. Humanda ka sakin ngayon Beatrz!! Maraguinot ata to, hinding hindi kita basta basta ipapamigay.
