In a Different Perspective - JHOBEA

12

"Blue or red?" Isaac asked Jho. He's pertaining to the flowers that he'll buy for Bea.

Jho smiled at the sight of sunflowers.

"Jho." Isaac called her.

Jho faced him. "Oh? Nakapili ka na?"

"Hindi pa kaya nga I'm asking you." Isaac said.

"Hm, go with the blue para naman maiba." Jhoana said.

Isaac nodded and reserved the flowers for next week. Nagulat siya nang binayaran ni Jho ang sunflower na hawak niya.

"Are you that lonely?" Isaac asked

Nagugulhan siyang tinignan ni Jho. "What?!"

"Are you that lonely na ikaw na mismo bumibili ng flowers for yourself?" Isaac said.

Pinalo naman sakanya ni Jho ang binili nitong bulaklak. "Sira. Bumili lang ng bulaklak, malungkot na?"

Pinalo pa niya muli si Isaac. "Halika na. Inistress mo na nga ako, inaasar mo pa ako."

Jho has been Isaac's companion and kakampi with Isaac's surprise for Bea.

"Ok lang ba talaga na sa may pool area sa bahay gagawin? Hindi ba too simple?" Isaac asked while driving.

"I think it's fine and romantic." Jho answered.

"Not too romantic and too cliché?" He asked.

"No, George. Teka nga pwede bang kumalma ka. Everything's fine and great."

Isaac chuckled. "Sorry. I haven't done this before. I am thrilled."

Jho smiled and looked at her friend. She has this contented feeling that she's helping Isaac.

Atleast he is happy. She thought.

"You are fine. You'll get her yes. And besides you'll have a week to prepare."

Natawa naman si Isaac. "I'll just ask her if I can pursue her not to be my girlfriend yet."

"Oh you'll get there." Jho whispered.

Pagdating nila sa bahay, they were greeted by a 'just-woke-up' Alyssa.

"Kagigising mo, ate Ly?" Natatawang tanong ni Isaac.

She nodded. "I am so restless. Feeling ko kulang pa ako ng tulog."

"So who cooked for lunch? Dapat sinabihan mo kami para nagtake out na lang kami." Jho said.

On cue, palabas si Bea, who is on her apron at may hawak na kawali.

"Let's eaaaaaaat!" She called and smiled.

Jho has to stare for Bea's lively smiles.

Genuine. So precious.

She shook her head for the thoughts.. again.

"Wow, smells good!" Isaac said and proceeded to the dining hall.

"San kayo galing?" Alyssa sleepily asked Jho.

"Jan lang." Jho answered and joined Isaac on the dining table.

Tinanggal ni Bea ang apron niya and sat beside Jho.

"Hey! Is that flowers for me?" Bea asked and get the sunflowers from Jho.

Inamoy niya ito and widely smiled on Jho. "Thanks."

Jho rolled her eyes and get the flowers from Bea. "Sorry, not yours."

Itinabi ni Jho ang bulaklak.
