The Way We Want It To Be

Chapter 8

A/N : Sorry if am causing you a heart break. Just let if flow...

A week after the La Union ganap, Bea distant herself to the public.Papano ba naman, sabog talaga ang notifications niya every day. Even her own family, naintriga what is going on.

Her Daddy Elmer asked her while they are having dinner.

"Anak, what is that issue roaming around over the internet?", tanong nito sa kanya.

"Which one Dad?", tanong niya habang ngumunguya.

"The you and Thirdy thing at La Union. The video says it all", sabat naman ni Kuya Loel niya.

"Yeah Anak, I saw it", sabi naman ni Mommy Det.

"Urgh, pati ba naman kayo? It's nothing Dad, Mom and Kuys, if meron naman naman I will tell you", kibit balikat niyang sagot.

"E what about the back hug?", usisa pa ni Elmer.

Seryoso ang mukha nito. First time niya kasi na makita ang anak na may ganoong ganap. Alam niya na niligawan ni Thirdy si Bea noong freshmen year nila.

Thirdy is a real man to ask for Elmer's permission to court her daughter that time. Kaya sobrang pinahanga siya ni Thirdy doon. Mula noon, naging close na si Thirdy sa kanya. Pero alam din niya na Bea turned him down.So ano itong kumakalat na issue.

"Dad, ok ok, fine, I'll explain what happened there", sabay taas ng dalawang kamay tanda ng pagsuko.

Ayaw na niya pa mandin sana niyang pagusapan pero alam niya na hindi siya titigilan ng mga ito. So nagkwento siya ng nangyari sa LU, syempre hindi kasama yung moment na nagkausap sila ni Thirdy sa dalampasigan.

"Ow, yun naman pala e", tango tango naman si Mommy Det.

Pero Daddy Elmer did not settle. His Bea is hiding something. Napansin kasi niya na naging malungkot ito since nakauwi from LU.

But he decided to let it be, malaki na at matalino ang anak niya. He knows that whatever it is, Bea will definitely get over it.

"Anak, if you need companion or somebody na you want to talk to, I am just here. Me and your Mom actually, always know that", sabay halik ni Elmer sa noo ng anak.

"Yeah, I will Dad. Thank you for always being my rock, I love you both", sabi naman niya.

After that dinner, she went to her room. Gusto niya muna mapag-isa. Afte LU, bahay-gym lang ang naging buhay niya. She even put herself to social media ban and pinatay din niya ang phone niya.

She want to breath some air pagkatapos ng paguusap nila ni Thirdy. Gusto niya na munang magmove on to her life.

Sana it's just like that. Sana ganun lang kadali na makalimutan ang lahat. She knows that after their confession, yung friendship nila ay magkakaroon na ng awkwardness.

It will never be the same again, at dun siya mas nasasaktan. Dumating na ang matagal na niyang kinatatakutan.Unti unti ng nawawala sa kanya si Thirdy.And masakit yun. 6 years yung friendship nila. How can she moved on to her life ngayon when all of those days in 6 years, si Thirdy ang kasama niya?

When she have trainings, kapag meron siyang lessons na kailangang icatch up kasi hindi siya nakaattend sa klase dahil sa trainings, nung first time na-injury siya, pag masaya siya, lahat ng moments, andun si Thirdy lagi.

All throughout her college high and lows, andiyan si Thirdy. He is always present sa lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay niya mula noong naging close sila.

Tumulo na naman ang luha niya. She turn on her phone.
