Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 25

Jho needed to release her pain, kaya naisipan niyang lumabas

"Hmmm" Jho lay comfortably on her bed with her eyes closed

When she realized that.....

"Shit, sana naman umuwi na siya" Jho immediately opened her eyes

Kaya dali-dali siyang lumabas ng room niya at binuksan agad yung door ng condo niya

She found Bea sitting on the floor and her legs were laying straight as if she had no energy

Agad na napatingin si Bea kay Jho

"Jho" Bea stood up

JHOANA

"Jho" Bea

"Bakit hindi ka pa umuwi? Umalis ka na"

"I want to know if you're all right before I leave" Bea

"Bakit ba ang kulit mo? Nakakairita ka na. Buhay pa naman ako ah"

Napatahimik bigla si Bea at matagal bago siya naka respond

"It's good that you're fine, my apologies for keeping in touch with you kahit na nakakairita na ako. Sige, alis na ako Jho" Bea smiled sadly

Bea left, then I immediately shut the door

Pero shit, eto na naman ako. Why do I get hurt when I see her unhappy? It stings my heart to see her hurting too. Ito naman yung tamang gawin ang iwasan siya pero ang hirap, nasasaktan ako

Kaya kumuha ako ng beer sa fridge, I need more alcohol

BEATRIZ

As I walked down the hallway I was in tears. What Jho did and said was just painful

I pressed na the ground floor button sa elevator nang marating ko ito

*door opens*

Pumasok na ako, sasara na sana yung door nang may kamay na pumagitna dito. Kaya nag open ulit yung door

"Bea" Jho's panting

"Yeah?"

I acted chill to hide my sorrowful eyes

Bigla siyang pumasok sa elevator at niyakap akong umiiyak

"S...sorry, please comeback?" Jho mumbled on my shoulders

JHOANA

"Here" binigay ko kay Bea yung beer niya

Nakaupo kami sa floor ng bedroom ko habang nakaharap sa balcony at nakasandal kami sa side ng bed

"Andami ko lang problema kaya kita napag-initan. Umiyak ka tuloy"

"I don't usually cry actually" Bea at yumuko ito at nakita kong nagpunas siya ng luha, naka dim 'tong lights kaya kita ko parin siya

I took a big gulp of my beer bago ako sumandal sa kanya at niyakap yung buong arm niya

I need to explain what happened at work

"......ayun palpak, kaya pinaulit ni Kianna lahat"

"It won't happen again, I promise. I don't want anyone to hurt you Jho" Bea said those words with so much love and assurance
