Can't Fall in Love Again

Chapter 50

"No! I...I'll talk t...to her. Give me m...my phone"

"Isabel, they're our parents. Let's respect them, pinoprotektahan lang nila tayo" kuya Loel

ELMER

Binabantayan ni Loel si Isabel ngayon sa loob, habang kami naman ni Det ay nasa labas ng hospital room

"Masaya kana? Ganyan naman ang gusto mo diba, ang paghiwalayin sila?"

Nagsinungaling ako sa sinabi ko kay Isabel. Kaya patawarin nalang nila ako ni Jho sa nasabi ko. Gusto ko lang ay ang gumaling ang anak ko

"Elmer, dahil yun ang tama. Dapat kalimutan na rin ng anak ko si Jhoana. Iniisip ko lang ang kapakanan ng pamilya natin" Det

"Kapakanan? Sinasaktan mo ang damdamin ni Bea"

"This is for her near future. Makakasama niya rin ang babaeng para sa kanya" Det

"Sino? Sa taong hindi niya mahal?" diin kong sabi

"Love can be learned" Det

I just sighed my frustration

The next day

DET

Still at the hospital. Ako lang ngayon ang nagbabantay dito

"Anak, you will be meeting your tito Frank's daughter ha? Kinuha ko siyang private nurse mo"

Masama ang loob ni Isabel sa'kin, at hindi rin niya kami pinapansin lahat

"Isabel, kinakausap kita"

"You should've just let me die, mom" Bea

"Ayan ang nagagawa ng Jhoana na yan sa'yo. Kaya sana, maintindihan mo na ako ngayon why I don't like her"

*knock knock*

The door opened

"Caitlin hija" I greeted Caitlin with a hug

"It's nice to see you tita hehe" Caitlin

"Nice to see you also. Oh this is Isabel, my daughter"

Gently kong hinila si Caitlin para malapitan niya si Bea. Pero si Bea ay nakatingin sa other side at tahimik lang ito

"Isabel? Hello I'm your nurse, Caitlin" Caitlin

Still, hindi pa rin tumitingin samin si Bea

"Isabel" tawag ko sa kanya

"What do you need?" Bea and her gaze is still locked on the other side

"I want to introduce myself sana, since I was hired as your private nurse" Caitlin

"Get out" Bea at napatingin dito pero seryosong tumingin kay Caitlin

"Uhmm yeah sure. I guess I'll be back nalang, baka you want to be alone muna with your mom hehe. Tita balik nalang po ako" magalang na sabi ni Caitlin

"Sige, thank you hija. Pagpasensyahan mo na anak ko ha?"

"It's ok tita" Caitlin

BEATRIZ

"What the hell was that, mom? A private nurse?"

"You need her" mom Det

"I don't need a personal nurse. I just need one person and you know her"

"Isabel can you please stop mentioning her? Pinabayaan ka na nga niya!" mom Det

"Give me my phone then"

"No, you are not advised to use gadgets" mom Det

"Palibhasa hindi mo alam nararamdaman ko, mom"

I'm very much worried about Jho. Thinking kung kumain na ba siya, ok lang ba siya, anong ginagawa niya ngayon, iniisip rin kaya niya ako

Mom hugged me and there I cried

"I d...don't want her t...to be in love w...with someone e...else"

What if she meets someone who will make her forget about me?

One week after

THIRD PERSON

Bumalik na ng Pilipinas si Elmer. On the other hand, Det is with Loel, may inaayos silang documents. Kaya pinaiwan ni Det si Bea kay Caitlin

*knock knock*

Caitlin entered Bea's room (hospital)

Naabutan niyang umiiyak si Bea. Nang maramdaman ni Bea ang pagpasok ni Caitlin sa kwarto ay mabilis niyang pinunasan ang kanyang mga luha

"Isabel, it's fine. Iiyak mo lang" Caitlin

"Ano bang pakialam mo?" Bea

Bea's head is still wrapped in gauze until now, but other apparatuses attached to her have been removed because she is in the recovering stage

"Not for meddling, Isabel. But if you need a friend to lean on, know that I'm right here" Caitlin

"Stop talking, will you? I don't need you nor anyone else in this damn hospital. I just need....." Bea

"I just need to recover" Bea

Bea didn't mention Jhoana to Caitlin because she thought she was her mom's accomplice. which she knows that Det hates Jho.

"That's why you are here, para magpagaling" Caitlin holds Bea's arm

"Kaya kumain kana ng lunch mo ok? I'll feed you" Caitlin added and smiles at Bea

Bea nodded

The only thing that's Bea thinks about is Jho. Wishing Jho was the one taking care of her now

Nang matapos itong kumain ay pinainom na ito ni Caitlin

"Are you full?" Caitlin

Bea handed the glass to Caitlin after ito makainom ng water

"Yes" matipid na sagot ni Bea

"Isabel, if possible.......can we be friends? I just want to be a bit close to you?" Caitlin

Iniisip kasi ni Caitlin na lagi na niyang makakasama si Bea, kaya gusto niya sana ay maging close sila kahit konti

Kung sakaling pwede na kasing maiuwi si Bea sa bahay din nila sa UK, ay sa kanila na mag duduty si Caitlin as nurse

"Friends" Bea offers her hand

Caitlin gladly accepted Bea's hand and they shook hands
