Beautiful You

7 - Plan

Pagkatapos nilang kumain inihatid si jia sa kanyang silid.

"Ate pag may kailangan ka just ring the bell beside your lamp shade okay, iloveyou ate. Pahinga ka muna".

Simula ng makalabas si jia sa hospital ay may plano na siya. Kung ano at paano niya ito maisasagawa.

Bigla niyang naisip may fake fiance pala siya. Naisip niyang dun magsimula.

Jia ring the bell and ilang minuto lang ay pumasok si ily.

"Ate may kailangan ka"?.

Tumango lang si jia.

Kinuha niya ang isang papel at ballpen at nagsimulang magsulat.

"Cellphone".

"Ah 'yung cellphone mo wait lang ate ha kukunin ko".

" Ate wag ma stress ha, baba muna ako".

Tumango lang si jia.

Sa wakas! From now on I will get rid of you the both of you. Let me see what's the first thing to do. Hmmmm.

Ring...ring...ring...

(Please mo mukha mo gago!)

If you want to marry me then go home and live with me. If you really love me then go home. Come home. Will get married soon. You'll be here I guess or not? Hmmm.

Fine fine I'm going home tomorrow and let's talk. You're totally different from before jia. Sleep now, I'm going to arrange everything here before I'll leave. Bye.

What's wrong with you? Bad mood ha? babe what's wrong?

Just shot up Stella. I want to be alone. Get out of my office...

But-----

I said get out now.

Ok.

Jia, jia, jiiaaaaa! You're getting into my nerves!

On the other side....

Let's wait and see my dear Rafael.

Babe let's go.

Where Stella?

You forgot? Where hanging out, I've already booked a restaurant for us to eat dinner, for now let's go shopping.

Stella I have something to tell you.

What's with that serious face babe tinatakot mo ko ha! What is it huh?

Stella I'm going back.

Back? You mean you're going home..... That's fine if you feel unwell today let's go out if you feel better ok babe.

No that's not it Stella. I mean I'm going back to the Philippines and be with jia for good.

What!? Rafael! What are you thinking? Huh! Do you think I will just let go of you. I've done everything just for you. No I won't allow you to go live and married to that fucking bitch. She stole you from me remember?

Stella that was before. People change, I changed and you changed! Everyone change Stella. And jia also. And I think I'm just in denial to admit that since the day I saw jia brings back the old us before they meet each other and that's ken. I think you don't know that, jia and I were friends ever since you came. It's just jia didn't remember me! She only remembers Ken's presence not mine. I thought we will bring back the old us but I'm wrong, yes I got to be friends with her but that's it and I'm hurt. Jia was supposed to be my first and last crush and a lover will get married soon. That's what I promise her before I left her. Before we meet, there was Jia and Rafael before Jia and ken. I don't want to let go of jia this time Stella. Yes I owe you for helping me to get my jia but my conscience kept on saying that sana diko ginawa yon dahil nasasaktan ang taong Mahal ko at ang malala pa dun nagka amnesia na naman. I couldn't bear this time Stella. I know you were good friends before and I'm the one whose behind all of this mess. You know what, I really wish that it didn't happen. Dahil until now pinagsisihan ko parin yun lahat Stella. Yes I admit I did use you for my personal greed.

(Slap....)

How dare you! You used me all this time!!! And it's because of jia na naman. You're always saying jia jia jia! Everyone's got attentions from jia every now and then. She gets everything and I get nothing. You know that Rafael!? No right!? It's because you only sees jia all this time all this fucking 3 years. Oh yes! I sometimes regret what we did but I'm also happy because I have a man that loves me and I love the most. But then again I'm wrong, I'm just a rebound.. Isang taong di ka Mahal Mahal.

Stella couldn't contain her emotions and she burst out everything she feels and tears just follow.
I know Rafael that you really love jia because I saw it in your eyes before and today. I just couldn't think that jia still win even she forgets everything. (She cried)

I'm sorry Stella. I'm very sorry. I just don't want to leave you like this but jia needs me now and we'll get married soonest. Stella this is not a goodbye but the start of our new life without the embrace of each other. From now on let's just be friends for good. I'm so sorry Stella I mean it. Bye.

He walked away and from the last time on that day he looked Stella.

Bye Stella.

Stella couldn't hold on and she got fainted all of a sudden...
