I Love You - 6

BEATRIZ

I finally told my dad what was happening with me. Yung tungkol kay Jho, kasi nagtatanong na sila ni mom why do I look sad daw these past few weeks

".....tapos now she's inviting me pa for her sister's birthday? Dad, I don't want to go"

"Pumunta ka" dad Elmer

"Then what? Harap harapan akong masasaktan. Magiging sweet and clingy sila ng boyfriend niya"

"Sagarin mo na para mawala na yan" dad Elmer

"Really dad?" sarcastic kong sabi

"It's been years since you've been hiding that feeling. It's time to let go, anak. Be happy for her" dad Elmer

"I am, I am happy for her, dad"

"Happy but crying inside" dad Elmer

"Daddd, I don't want to lose the friendship, baka mawala closeness namin"

"Hindi yan maiiwasan, but at least you have peace in mind" dad Elmer

Jaja's birthday celebration at a beach

JHOANA

I invited my closest friends sa birthday ni Jaja. Ate Ly, Ate Ella, Carly, Cel, and of course hindi mawawala si Beatriz, and my only love, Jeremiah (Doy)

May inuman kasi kami, good thing at dito sa shore kami nakaupo, sa mismong buhanginnnn

"Bei, tahimik mo ngayon ah. Inuman oh"

Lakas kasi netong si Bei pag sa mga ganitong bagay eh, hindi 'to nagpapatalo

"Nako Jho thesis iniisip niyan" Cel

Napagitnaan namin ni Cel si Bea tapos sa left ko naman si Doy

"Kayang-kaya mo yan ikaw pa ba. Ikaw nga tutor ko non eh"

"Pwede mag pass this time?" Bea

"Bei, ikaw ba yan? Ikaw nag papass dito" Ate Ly

"My thesis ate Ly" Bea

"Ano ba yan. Ngayon na nga lang tayo nakapag bonding eh"

"Babe, hayaan mo na" Doy

Bea sighs

"Give me a shot, ate Ella" Bea

Ayan sumunod ka sa kumander

"Full shot for our Bei-Bei" ate Ella at binigay ang shot kay Bea

"Di mo talaga ako matitiis eh"

Tinignan niya lang ako without tilting her head, yung eyes niya lang pinagalaw niya, and nag half-smile

BEATRIZ

Kami ni Jho ang naiwan para iligpit ang mga kalat namin, knock out na kasi silang lahat, yung boyfriend ni Jho nauna na sa villa nila ni Jho

"Teka shaan na ba yung basho? Hawak ko kanina yun" Jho's drunkenness

Inayos ko nang mabuti yung picnic blanket para sa uupuan niya

"Just sit here nalang and watch me make ligpit these stuffs"

"You sure?" Jho

Inaalalayan ko na siya para maka-upo na comfortably. Then habang nag-aayos ako ay salita naman siya nang salita
