My Best Friend, My Love (JhoBea FanFic)

Chapter 35

Beatriz

I woke up at sobrang sakit ng katawan ko. Funny how about 6 years ago, I was hospitalized because of crying too hard nang dahil kay Jho. 6 years later, nadisgrasya ako dahil parin sa parehong rason.

Tama nga sila. Some things never truly change.

When I looked right, andun si Thirdy. And it didn't shock me, cause Thirdy is the kind of man who is always gonna be there for you kahit masaktan mo pa siya.

"How are you? Are you feeling okay na, Bey? Do you need a doctor?" He asked. Minsan tuloy, natatnong ko yung sarili ko kung ganon na ba talaga ako katanga na hindi ko binigyan ng chance noon si Thirdy.. pero kung ano kasing gusto ng puso, 'yon lang talaga.

"I'm good, Thirdy. Thank you." I simply smiled at him. Masakit 'yong mga sugat ko pero kaya naman kaya walag problema.  

"Why are you thanking me?" He asked.

"Because.. kahit gaano na kasakit yung mga bagay na nagawa ko sa'yo noon, like rejecting you for the second time even when I knew na deserve mo 'yong chance na matagal mo nang hinihingi. Pero di ko nagawang ibigay 'yon sayo kasi masyado akong nabulag sa pagmamahal kay Jho. Thank you for still, for always caring, Thirdy. You deserve the best." Sabi ko sakanya.

Thirdy deserves someone more than a Bea de Leon.. and a Bea de Leon deserves someone more than Jho Maraguinot. Kaya ano bang dapat gawin?

"You're my definition of best, Isabel Beatriz. Only you." Ang sarap makarinig ng ganyan.. kaya lang sa 'kin, di siya galing sa taong gusto kong panggalingan nito. But my heart stopped for a moment while looking at him. Damn. "And I'll never not care for you."

I was supposed to say something about giving this story of ours another shot, pero bumukas yung pinto. It was Deanna.. with Jho.

Pero pinili kong dedahin 'yon. Jho.. she's caused me too much pain already. Kababalik ko pa lang ganito na agad. At pag kinausap ko pa siya baka ako lang parin 'yong masasaktan.

Gusto kong sabihin na gusto kong bigyan ng chance 'yong kami, sa amin ni Thirdy. Pero nung nakita ko siya.. putangina. Isang tingin, bumalik na agad sa 'kin lahat ng 'yon. The feelings, the memories, the pain, and everything else in between.

At gustuhin ko mang bigyan ng pagkakataon si Thirdy.. di parin talaga. It's been what, 7? or even 8 years since Thirdy came into my life. Deserve niyang sumaya sa iba pero bakit di niya ginugusto?

"Thirdy.. I may be your definition of best pero believe me when I say you deserve better. Di mo deserve na hintayin ako kasi wala namang mangyayari. Kasi si Jho parin naman." I saw  his eyes starting to water.. Pucha.

Deanna got inside and she cut our conversation. "Thirdy, hindi ba sinabi ko sayong wag ka munang bumisita?" She was serious.

"Bakit naman?" Sumingit ako. Umiling lang si Deanna and stared into Thirdy's eyes. 

"Sya nga pala, Bey. Papunta na 'yong parents mo." Just as she said that, may kumatok sa pinto. My former teammates pero hindi kasama si Jho.

Nag usap lang kaming lahat at dinalaw ako ng doctor sa kuwarto. "Miss de Leon, kamusta ka na?" She asked while checking on my covered wounds.

"I'm feeling better po, Doc. Kailan po ba ako madidischarge?" I asked. 

"If you're really feeling better, I'll send you food and let you drink the prescribed vitamins and medicines para mas mabilis 'yong pagrerecover mo.. then I'll send you a nurse para samahan kang mag lakad lakad just around the hospital to see if you're really feeling better na at kung kailangan pa ba ng assistance sa paglalakad kasi kung oo, maybe you'll stay here mga maximum of  2 days." She said and smiled. Kaya ko naman na. 

"Okay po, Doc. Thank you." Then she got out of the room. Maya maya, dumating na sina Mommy.

--

Natapos kaming mag lakad ng nurse saka okay naman daw ako. Puwede na akong idischarge. I just have to visit the hospital once a week to see if my wound is getting better na. 

"Gosh, Beatriz! Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Mom was panicking.. para namang bago pa lang ako nakarating rito. 

"Mom.. chill! Okay na po ako." I answered.

"Yes, Det. Your daughter is right. Chill ka na. Di naman siya pababayaan ng doctor, e." Dad said.

"Wag kang nang aano, Elmer! Baby, sure you're okay now?" Mom asked. 

"Yes, Mom. Madidischarge na po ako. SO, you chill down na Mom." I answered. 

Patuloy kaming nag usap ng mga kaibigan ko at finally, madidischarge na 'ko. Inaasikaso nalang nina Mom and Dad 'yong bill ko at pwede na 'kong umalis.

Dumating si Thirdy and he handed me a basket full of fruits. "Keep yourself healthy again. And please, do take care of yourself." I just smiled at him saka nag usap sila ni Kobe dahil kasama silang pumunta ni Ponggay kanina.

He deserves the fucking best and I wasn't honestly anywhere close to being the best. 

Naunang umakyat dito si Mom. "Can I go na?" I asked. 

She nodded pero may sinabi siya. "But we need someone to drive you!" 

"Ha? Bakit naman po?" Puwede naman kasing sakanila nalang ako sumabay.

"Your Dad and I, sasakay lang kami ng taxi. And hindi pwede na sumabay ka sa amin dahil baka mainfect 'yong mga sugat mo!" Mom is so.. maarte. "Sinong may sasakyan sa inyo? Can you drive Bea home?" God! Nakakahiya.

"Ako nalang po, Tita." Thirdy suggested. 

I heard the door open.

"No. I'll drive her home."

Jho. My home.
