Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 32

JHOANA

My world stopped after I saw Nico standing in front of me.

I missed him

"Nico?"

"Love, how ar-" Nico

Agad ko nang niyakap si Nico. Sunod-sunod na rin kasing tumulo mga luha ko

"B...bakit ang tagal mo?" I said while still hugging him as I sobbed

Naramdaman kong mas isinandal niya yung katawan niya sa'kin, kasi na feel kong bumigat siya

"Anak? N-nandito na pala kayo?" papa John

"Hindi makalakad pa ng maayos si Nico anak eh. Nico? Halika muna't aalalayan kita" papa John added

"Ako na pa, k...kaya ko" sabi ko habang patuloy pa rin sa pag hikbi

Dahil sa excitement na may halong pangungulila kay Nico, I forgot that Beatriz was with me

"Ah teka lang. Pa, ikaw muna bahala kay Nico"

"Love?" Nico

I hugged him once more, pero bumitaw din ako agad

"Sir? Pasensya na po natagalan sa cr" biglang singit nung nurse

"Pakialalayan muna si Nico ha? Nico, pahinga ka muna" papa John

Nico looks at me sadly, halatang gusto niya akong mayakap at makasama. I know his actions

I nodded as I smile to assure him na ok lang

BEATRIZ

I can't stay here anymore; the feeling I feel feels overwhelming.

Jhoana is Nico's girlfriend, and Jho hid from me the whole time that she had a boyfriend.

Nagbabadya nang tumulo ang mga luha ko pero pinipigilan ko ito. Nang makaalis at makapasok sa loob sina Nico and yung nurse ay agad na nagsalita si sir John

"Bea, pasok ka muna? O gusto mo sa patio tayo?" sir John

Then suddenly I felt Jho clinging to me

"Sir, I'm sorry about my emergency. But my mom just texted me to attend a sudden business meeting. And I think I can't stay here long"

Jho looked at me confused by my peripheral vision

"Ah ganun ba? Gusto lang sana kitang makausap" sir John

Wala talagang emergency meeting, sinabi ko lang yun kasi gusto ko nang umalis

"Aalis ka na? Can't you stay muna?" Jho asks

I can't say no to this girl

JOHN (Jho's father)

Nasa patio kami ni Bea, samantalang si Jho ay nasa loob kasama si Nico

"Salamat nga pala sa mga dinala mo Bea ha? Binigyan mo pa ng bulaklak misis ko hehe"

"Don't mention it, sir" Bea

"Hindi, tito nalang"

Bea nodded "ok po, tito"

"Uhh kaya pala kita pinaimbitahan kasi may gusto akong sabihin?"

"Anything tito" Bea

"Deretsuhin na kita ha?............ano ba ang anak ko sa'yo? Ano siya sa buhay mo?"
