How Right It Is To Love You (JhoBea FF)

Seventh

Bea

"Hi Alex, OA ng pahinga natin ah?"

Lumapit ako sa kanya at dahan-dahang umupo sa kama.

"Napadaan lang ako. Saglit lang, bibista lang. Miss na kasi kita eh." I chuckled. I know I'm just lying to myself.
"Yeah, I know. Hindi naman rin kasi ako pwedeng mag-stay ng matagal. At least, I got a chance to see you."

Pinagmasdan ko lang sya. "I miss you, honey. Please wake up na."

I suddenly remembered those times we were together. Pareho kaming masaya. My daydreaming was interrupted nang magvibrate ang phone ko.

From: Therese
2 mins, Bei.

I heaved a sigh. "I have to go. I'll see you soon, honey."

Ramdam ko ang bigat ng mga paa ko habang naglalakad. No, I don't wanna leave you yet. As much as possible, I wanna stay beside you everyday until you wake up.

Pagpasok ko ng elevator, I received another message.

From: Jhoana Maraguinot
Can we talk?

I'm just staring at my phone for couple of minutes. Muli akong napabuntong-hininga. Hay, Jhoana. The things you do to me.

Then another message came in.

From: Jhoana Maraguinot
Please Bea? Hindi na mainit ang ulo ko. Promise.

I find her message cute. I even imagined her saying it in front of me. Napailing na lang ako and closed my eyes. Nope. Hindi pwede Bea. Not Jhoana.

Saktong kakapasok ko lang ng sasakyan when her name popped up on my phone screen again. This time, she's calling..

"Jho."

"Bea." Almost a whisper. Nagulat siguro siya na sinagot ko kaagad ang tawag nya.

"What's up?"

"Haven't you read my texts?"

"Hmm, I'm driving kasi."

Tahimik lang sya sa kabilang linya.
"Good thing tumawag ka. I can put the call on loudspeaker. What do you need from me, by the way?"

"Not now."

"Huh?"
