Irreplaceable You

Chapter 44

Napansin ko ngang iniiwasan niya ako.

I should ask her about this. To clear things....

Calling Babe....

"Hi Babe." Isabel

"Oh Isabel Beatriz napatawag ka?" Jia

"I have a problem and i need your help." Isabel

"What? Why? Where are you?" Jia

"Calm down babe, I'm fine. I'm at the office right now. Alone literally and figuratively." Isabel

"Still not safe." Jia

"Sorry Babe, uuwi na din naman ako mamaya. It's just that there's something bothering me. I'm curious about us." Isabel

"Ha?" Jia

"You heard me, don't make me repeat it." Isabel

"I swear to god if this is about Ate Ella's joke about we almost kissed, I'm gonna block you for real." Jia

"Woaaah! Why you mad love?" Isabel

"Don't call me love, hindi ako yung mahal mo. And please Isabel hindi ako yun! Ate Ells is teasing you. I was drunk that night too, and Deanna took care of me." Jia

"Eh bat ka galet? Jia babe naman eh." Isabel

"I'm just explaining. I just don't want to say it too you baka it will make things awkward for the both of you." Jia

"Baket ba who is it? Ate Ly?" Isabel

"Careful with your words baka mapatay ka ni Ate Den." Jia

"Eh sino nga ba kasi, lagi na lang akong inaasar ni Ate Ells sayo tapos... di mo na ko papansinin after that." Isabel

"Coz it's making things awkward lalo naman at hindi ako yon. Maybe you're remembering things but that's not me. It's Jhoana for pete sake!" Jia

"Ah si Jhoana, what the fuck? Jhoana? The Architect? Are shitting on me right now?" Isabel

"Sa tingin mo magjojoke ako about sa ganito?" Jia

"Sorry." Isabel

"Better call Ate Ells to know the story." Jia

"Oh okay see you tomorrow babe. Love you." Isabel

Before I can say the love part, she hung up on me. That btch! Kidding i love my babe. She's the best!

Jhoana

We've been working for a month already. Big progress I may say. Satisfied naman ang boss ko. She's really grateful sa naachieve ng resort niya that's why, Last Thursday before the head of each department part ways for a long weekend.

We had a party. Celebrating the 25% progress ng resort.

There are drinks involve. But knowing me, I don't drink since the incident of you know being taken care of my ghoster ex.

Funny I call her ghoster ex.

So that night, Boss Isabel, Ate Ly, Jia, Ate Ells, Marco, Thirdy, Bianca and Deanna were the ones who were drinking.

I think they drank a Bacardi Gold. A rum plus coke.

Me and Ate Den was left with Juice. Because I promised myself that I won't drink na.

Even though nandiyan si Bea, Isabel rather, it's not the same person anymore.

Alam ko sa sarili ko na I'm fooling myself by not believing that she lost her memory. Pero at times go by, sa araw araw namin na magkasama sa iisang resort. We breathe the same air. Eating the same thing.
