Decoding the Super Model Coded (BINI Series #1) JhoCey

Special Chapter 1: JhorJen

But when afternoon came, when he arrived at her friends residence. No one is home. She waited for hours pero kahit isang tao, ni helper, wala syang nakita. SO she decided to go home and aske her parents.

She texted her parents, pero hindi itong mga ito nagreply sa mensahe nya. NI hindi umuwi ang magulang nya ng gabing iyon. It's very unusual for Jennie not to text or go to her, kaya alam nyang there is something going on.

Ilang araw pa ang lumipas when she finally saw her parents.

"Ma, Si Jennie?" She asked them. Mas lalo syang nabahala ng hindi nya nagustuhan ang expression ng mga magulang niya

"Anak, she wants me to give this to you" sabi lang ng mga ito at umalis na sa harap nila.

They gave me a white envelope with a silk ribbon. She went inside her room and opened the letter. Kahit masama ang kutob niya.

Dear Jhorgina,

I'm sorry for leaving you without notice. A lot of things happened and I don''t even know where to start. I'm going somewhere far away and I can't even face you right now to say goodbye. I have reasons but I'm afraid, I'm not ready yet to say those. Take care of yourself. I love you Baby, I hope to see you again soon. Hope you forgive me

Love,
Jennie

Its been hours since I read the letter pero hindi pa din nagsisink in sakin na umalis na sya. Iniwan nya na ako. Kahit tanungin ko ang magulang ko, hindi nila sinasabi sa akin ang dahilan. Everything change simula ng umalis si Jennie. I'm always waiting for her every morning, Missing her annoying voice that serves as my alarm clock. My life became so empty when she left. Doon ko lamang napagtanto na mas masaya pala ang buhay simula nung nakilala ko sya. Staying at that house makes it so hard for me to live my life when every corner of that house shouts her name.

Siguro, napansin ng magulang ko na I'm not doing fine. And they suggested na magbakasyon ako sa PIlipinas. And eventually, I stayed their for good. It's easier to live here in the Philippines. Walang ala ala ni Jennie. I sometimes wonder kung kamusta na sya. Kung anong dahilan ng pagalis niya. Sobrang biglaan, ni indi man lang ako nakapag-paalam.

Sana, hind na ako nainis sa kanya every time na pinupuntahan nya ako sa bahay para magyaya kumain. Sana, sinulit ko yung time na kasama ko sya. I took everything for granted. Saka ko lang narealize how much important she is nung wala na. Nung umalis na sya. A part of me carries the burden of my regrets for not treating her better.

"Who's Mikhs" her voice

Walang pag aalinlangan akong lumingon sa babaeng nasa harap ko. Wearing her serious expression pero nakataas ang kilay.

Napairap na lang ako. Anong ginagawa nito dito?

I never thought that seven years later, I'll see her standing in front of me at my own office. The ghost of my past. One of my regrets is standing in front of me. I actually want to embrace her, and say sorry for not being a good friend but Anger weighted more. She left me hanging for years without explaining why she left. Just a letter of apology.

"Not happy to see me Bae?" Tanong nito na lalo kong ikinainis. Ang arrogant para sa taong may ginawang hindi maganda.

Pumaling na lang ulit ako sa glass wall at tumingin sa city lights.

Isang bangungot ang pagmumukha niya. Ilang beses kong inimagine kung paano ko sya haharapin kung sakaling magkita kaming  muli. At wala ito sa mga naimagine ko. Although she's beautiful. Seeing her face right now bring back bad memories na pinilit ko ng kalimutan. Seeing her standing here at my office makes those bad memories resurface.

"What do you need?" Malamig kong tanong dito

Hindi ko pa din nakakalimutan ginawa nya. That's my first heartbreak.

"Wala akong kailangan Jho. Ikaw yung meron. Hindi ba?" Tanong pa nito sakin

Hearing her voice makes me imagine kung anong face expression yung pinapakita nya.

Annoying.

Hindi ako nagsalita. Bahala sya dyan mapanisan ng laway.

"Jho, you can't avoid me forever" saad pa nito, Avoiding she say? Sya itong umalis ng basta na lang.

Napabuntong hininga ako bago muling humarap sa kanya. Magkatupa ang dalawang palad. I'm thinking.

Umupo ito sa sofa sa harap ng office table ko. Tumayo ako sa office chair ko at lumipat sa upuang nasa harap nito. Hindi naman ito titigil kung hindinko sya kakausapin.

"So, tell me? Why are you suddenly showing up after all these years?" Tanong ko dito with so much authority in my voice

As much as I hate this person for leaving me years ago, I want to listen to whatever she is going to say.

Hindi ko alam pero I saw pain in her eyes nung tingnan nya ako. Pain or guilt?

"I'm back na Jho. I'll take over your position" napabuntong hininga ako

At kumportableng sumandal sa inuupuan ko. Siguro kung narinig ko to nung kami pa ni Savy. I will accept kahit anong klaseng terms pa yan, basta makabalik ako kay Savy. Basta makasama ko sya ulit.

Pero ngayon, losing something that makes me busy might make me insane.

"I wish you were months early" sabi ko dito bago pumikit.

I heard her move. Naramdaman ko din ang pag galaw ng sofa na inuupuan ko. Kasunod non ang pag sandal nya sa balikat ko.

"Bae, you need help. I'm here to help you" sabi pa nito habang tinatapik tapik ang hita ko.

"What do you know about me?" Tanong ko dito

Making my breathing calm. This comfortable atmosphere she's bringing is not new to me. This is exactly how it feels to be comforted by her. Dang. ganito pa din yung pakiramdam when she's around. I just wanna cry out loud and tell her everything that I'm bottling up. Gusto kong magsumbong, gusto kong umiyak. Kasi sa kanya ko lang naman kayang maging mahina aside from Savy.

I opened my eyes at inalis sya sa pwesto nya making her sit properly bago tinaasan ako ng kilay

"Bakit ka nga nandito? Anong take over my position ay hindi ka naman marunong" sabi ko dito

Ano bang alam nito sa pagpapatakbo ng kompanya e ang ginawa nya lang buong buhay nya ang gumala ng gumala kung saan saan.

Parang na offend pa sya sa sinabi ko.

"Excuse me. Baka mas magaling pa ko sayo. Base on real life experience kaya to" sabi pa nito

Napailing na lang ako.

"You know Gian and Cole?" Tanong nito saken that made me raise an eyebrow at her

Bakit nya dinadamay friends ko dito

"Judging by your reaction, kilala mo nga. Nakasama ko sila sa ibang seminar and sa ibat ibang business trip. They taught me a lot" sabi pa nito

Confirm ko nga sa kanila mamaya. Baka nagsisinungaling to e.

Muling dumako ang mata ko sa kanya. Ano bang pinagbago nya? Bukod sa nag matured ang face features?

Wala. Feel ko masama pa din ang ugali nito.

Muli ko syang inirapan.

"Bat ko naman ibibigay sayo ang position ko, ano to? Parang candy lang na kukunin mo kapag gusto mo? At isa pa, how can I trust you?" Sabi ko pa dito emphasizing the word trust kasi doon sya pumalpak

"Hays, let's not talk about the takeover thing. Let's resolve our issues first" sabi pa nito

Nagpaliwag siya. That's when I learned everything she's been through. I guess, I'm really too young to understand when those things happened. But I wish, they told me. Because I know, I'll eventually try to find her kung nalaman ko agad ang rason. As we fill in each other with everything that happened to us, nung panahon na hindi kami magkasama. I realized, we just grew older, we're still the same Jen and Jho a long time ago who cares and love each other like siblings.

"Hindi na ako mawawala Jho" She says as she envelopes me with her wam embrace
