This Is Me

Chapter 36

"Jho, we have to go."

"Tito, please. 'Wag nyo na po sya isama please?" Pagmamakaawa ni Jia sa Daddy ni Jho.

"Jia, let's her be. Hayaan muna natin syang iprocess lahat ng nalaman nya."

"Jho, promise me na babalik ka. Hihintayin kita Jho kasi mahal kita."

Jho looked at me with her teary eyes and smiled at her to ease her. Alam ko masakit at mahirap pero kailangan nya rin yung space na ibibigay namin sa kanya at para makapagpagaling na rin sya.

"I love you Jho." Huling sabi ko.

"I love you too, Bea." She replied and they boarded.

JHO'S POV

3 months have passed... okay na yung paa ko pero hindi parin ako nagpaparamdam kay Bea at Jia, si Ate Aly lang ang nakakausap ko since mag start na rin naman ang pasukan nyan at I am planning to surprise them but no one knows about it even Ate Aly.

"Anak, are you ready?"

"Yes, dad." Tipid kong sagot and lumabas na.

"Jho, about everything..."

"Dad, everything's okay. Just please let us be?"

"Anak, basta masaya ka. Let's go."

18 hours later....

"Dad, I'll get going now."

"Take care, anak."

BEA'S POV

"Bei, nag paramdam na ba si Jho?"

"No, Mads. Not yet."

"Hanggang kailan ka mag hihintay? It's been 3 months now, Bei."

"Mads, hihintayin ko sya whenever. I promised her that at hindi ako susuko. Masakit yung nagawa ko sa kanya, kaya kakayanin ko maghintay kahit kailan para sa kanya."

Di ko na napigilan ang pagtulo ng luha ko.

"Mahal ko sya, Maddie. Kapag mahal mo hindi mo susukuan. She completed me. She healed me. She's my best half."

"Totoo ba yan, Beatriz?"

I had goosebumps. I heard her again, I heard Jho again.

"Jho? Ikaw na ba yan? Or illussion lang kita?"

"Bea, ako ito. This is your Jhoana!" She laughed even she's crying.

"Jho, you came back." I hugged her and the team snuggled too.

"Welcome back." Bulong ko kay Jho.

"I missed you." Bulong nya.

Niyakap ko sya ng napakahigpit.

"Hoi! Ano nanamang kaguluhan yan?! Bakit hindi kayo mag training!" Sigaw ni Jia.

"Bakit mainit ulo nya?" bulong ni Jho.

"Dahil sayo." Sagot ni Ate Ella

"Jia, calm down. Nandito na si jujubear." Sigaw ni Jho at naiyak sya ulit.

JHO'S POV

Nawala ang galit ni Jia nang makita nya ako.

"Jho? Jho!" niyakap nya ako ng super higpit at humagulgol.

"Jho akala ko di ka na babalik!" Sabi nya at humagulgol ulit.

"Jia, hindi ko naman magagawa sayo 'yun e." Sagot ko sabay tawa

Niyakap ko sya ng sobra sobra.

"I missed you, guys! Sorry for being M.I.A. for the past months HAHAHA. I took my time to rehab para agad ako makabalik and now? Here I am." Nag tawanan lang silang lahat at isa isa akong niyakap.

"I missed you, Mama Jho." Sabi ni Deanna at niyakap ako.

"I missed you so much, Deanna. Sorry for not answering your calls."

"Nag babakasakali lang din ako, ate." and she laughed.

"We will be having dinner mamaya sa bahay. I know malayo yung house namin but I hope all of you can come. I've missed you all so much." Pag yaya ko sa kanila.

"After we will be there." Sagot ni Ate Aly.
