Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 21

JHOANA

Random day in Batangas

"Excuse me, I'll just take this call po"

Kumakain kasi kami ng lunch tapos may tumawag sa phone ko

"Teka teka, importante ba yan?" papa John

"Work related pa"

"Ok sige, go hehe" papa John

Lumabas ako ng bahay to take the call. It's a call from a swimsuit line company in US

*call conversation*

After the call ay bumalik na ako sa loob

"So, how's the job?" papa John

"They offered me to be one of their designers pa, malaki siyang company sa US"

Nag-aapply na kasi ako sa mga big companies na dati ay nirereject ko lang

"Pano yung sa Manila ate? Sa bgc pa naman yung location ng office nila" Jaja

Meron pa kasing nag-ooffer sa'kin sa Manila, same job rin sa US mas mataas nga lang ang salary kapag mas malayo

"Hindi pa naman ako nakapag decide, maaga pa naman to start a job kaya dito muna ako hehe"

"Oo, samahan mo muna kami may balak ka na naman kasing lumayo" papa John chuckles

"Syempre naman papa bumabawi pa ako eh"

BEATRIZ

"You have a lot of pending works Bea! What is happening with you, almost one week kang nawala sa trabaho. You lost the campaign na nga tapos ganyan ka pa" mom Det

Bumalik na ako sa trabaho at sakto namang nandito si mom

"I got sick"

"Sana pinaalam mo hindi yung mawawala ka nalang sa trabaho. Teka, were you with Jhoana the days you were away?" mom Det

"Mom, please let's end that issue. Forget about the video, your hatred for Jho, everything about her that makes you irritated. Wala siyang ginagawa sa'yo mom"

"Anong wala? You wanna know why I hate her?............because of you. Hindi ka na nakikinig sa'kin simula nung dumating siya, you always defend her from me" mom Det

"Mom I saw her pain and struggles. I hope you understand why I defended her. If you only gave yourself a chance to know her deeper baka magbago pagtingin mo sa kanya"

Mom sighed

"Sige, kakalimutan ko yang issue niya. But I want to see kung totoong mabuti siyang babae" mom Det

"Thank you, but I think it's too late mom. She's not living here anymore, I don't know where she is"

"She went abroad?" mom Det

"I don't know. We don't have any communication anymore, she cut it"

"Maybe because of me? Dahil sa trato ko sa kanya?" mom Det

"She wants us in peace mom, ayaw niyang nagiging sanhi ng arguments natin"

"*sigh* I'm sorry" mom Det

I hugged my mom

CARLY

I just got home from a long vacation. Ngayon ay nasa airport ako hinihintay si Jho, antagaaal
