JHOANA
*Jho and Bea's video call*
"And that's the whole real story. Love, you're seeing things that aren't possible. Na ano? Na I'm doing something unfaithful to you?" Bea
"Oh eh bakit mo piniling matulog sa apartment niya?"
"Because I was drunk, love naman. Ayaw mo bang safe ako?" Bea
"Of course I do. Bakit ka kase naglasing, pano kung may biglang mag-uwi sa'yo diyan tapos paggising mo may anak kana jusko Beatriz sinasabi ko sa'yo ha"
"Hindi po yan mangyayari, ang OA ha" Bea
Nag stop muna ako saglit before speaking
"Pero, napatawad mo na ba ako?"
Bea sighed
"I will always forgive and understand you, love" Bea
"Tapos ganon ka nalang kung makasigaw sa'kin"
Ang sakit lang yung sigaw sigawan niya ako tapos pinagsasalitaan pa ng mga hindi magandang salita
"Love, sorry, I'm really sorry. Pinapatay na ako ng guilt ko please" Bea
"Hayaan mo na, ok lang. Ano na ulit yung sasabihin mo?"
BEATRIZ
"Hayaan mo na, ok lang. Ano na ulit yung sasabihin mo?" Jho
She's asking about sa two week business trip ko with Caitlin. But I think this is not the right time to tell, nanlalambot pa ako kay Jho eh
"Ahh about the kids kung kumusta na sila, may ipapabili ba? Si Nolan, kumusta yung sa golf niya, love?"
A little fast forward
NICO
Weekend na naman, means another session for Nolan's golf
"Tito Nicoooo!" Nolan greets me
"Buddyyy"
Nag apir kami at nagyakapan hehe, namiss ko buddy ko eh
"Jho hehe, musta?"
"Ok naman, ikaw?" Jho
"Ow wait"
Kinuha ko yung naka paper bag na shoes for Jho at binigay ko yun sa kanya
"Ano 'toooo?" nakangiting tanong ni Jho
"Gamitin mo yan 'pag nag golf tayo. Actually Jho kung ok lang sa'yo sa golf course sana tayo maglalaro ngayon? Yung as in totoong golf, wag dito"
"Pwede naman" Jho
"Open itttt, and pa try na rin to check if it fits perfectly"
Inopen naman yun ni Jho at sinuot
"Wowww momma, it suits youuuu! You look so pretty wearing it, momma" masayang sabi ni Nolan
"Hehe magkano 'to, Nics?" Jho
"Hay nako, Jho, wag mo nalang tanungin hmm?"
"Tito Nico I want a pair of shoes toooooo" Nolan
"Jusko nandito na naman 'tong batang puro pabili" Jho
"Sure, buddy, tito Nico will buy one for you also"
BEATRIZ
Habang nagdidinner ako ay nag message sa'kin si Jho
Wife: Love, nasa golf course kami ni Nolan, kasama si Nico. BUT WAIT, before ka mag-isip diyan nandito kami para lang sa golf
Bea: Bakit kayo napunta sa golf course? Ba't hindi nalang sa Quantum, love?
Wife: Ittry ko rin po kasi mag golf, ok lang ba?
Bea: Just wait for me to come home, tayo yung mag ggolf
Wife: Love nandito na kame
Bea: Ok okkk, just enjoy the game
Wife: Thanks love!
Bea: Buti pa kay Nico pumayag ka mag golf, tapos when I asked you to play with me ayaw mo
Wife: Love, hindi naman sa ganon. Busy lang ako non diba? Alam mo yan
Bea: Ok. I love you
Wife: I love youuu
I sighed
From now on, I promise hindi ko na hihigpitan si Jho, para maiwasan ang madalas naming pinag-aawayan
I trust her anyway. I know she won't do something that could ruin our family.
THIRD PERSON
Naglalaro na sila ng golf. Si Nico karga-karga niya si Nolan dahil naiinitan daw tapos napagod na rin sa kakatakbo. Hawak-hawak din naman ni Nico at Nolan yung payong nila
They are in complete attire for golfing, and naka sunglasses din silang tatlo
"Oops oops, keep your back straight" Nico
"Momma, listen to tito Nico" Nolan
Jho chuckles at sumunod sa instructions
"There" Nico
"Go momma! You can do it!" Nolan
The three had a nice time together, where they also took lots of pictures and lots of laughter
Hanggang sa naisipan nilang magpahinga which is kumain, at ang favorite part ni Nolan ay ang pagsakay sa golf cart
Nakakandong si Nolan sa tito Nico niyang nag ddrive as if siya yung nag ddrive tapos sa tabi naman nila nakaupo si Jho
Papunta sila sa kakainan nila
"I remember dada, momma. We used to ride grandpas golf cart in hacienda. And I remember Iska too!" Nolan
"Yes anak, do you miss going to the hacienda?" Jho
"Super, but I miss dada more" Nolan and his voice started to tremble
Nang mapansin nalang ni Nico at Jho ang mahinang paghikbi ni Nolan
"Awww buddy"
Nico guided Nolan's head na sumandal sa chest niya, then si Nolan na mismo ang nagharap sa katawan niya kay Nico para mayakap niya ito sa neck
"It's ok, buddy. Your dada will be home soon, just wait for him hmmm?"
"Your tito Nico is right, baby" Jho
Umiiyak na si Nolan sa tito Nico niya
"I miss my dada" Nolan sobs
Nico kisses Nolan's head, at nang magkatinginan sila ni Jho ay nagngitian sila ng simple
JHOANA
We are currently eating, and napawi na yung lungkot ni Nolan. May food na eh tapos puro lang sila kulitan ng tito Nico niya
"I love the food here, momma. Can we go here often to this exact place? This golf course?" Nolan
"It depends on your tito Nico, baby"
"Of course, free naman ako lagi eh" Nico
"Hehe ah Nico, kumusta na pala lola mo?"
"She's getting better, marunong na talaga siya sumunod hehe" Nico
"Ahh hindi na tumatanggi sa pag-inom ng gamot?"
"Exactly hehe" Nico
"Please send my regards to her ah"
"Sure, nako matutuwa yun for sure" Nico
"Tito, momma, look at me! Haha" Nolan
Jusko pinahid-pahid na niya sa face niya yung icing ng cupcake niya
"Nolannn" pag-aawat ko
"Haha you're so cute, buddy. Wait wait, take a picture" Nico
Etong si Nolan todo smile naman sa camera 🤦♀️
Hinayaan ko nalang, diyan masaya anak ko eh, at saka minsan lang naman 'to
BEATRIZ
Napag-usapan na namin ni Caitlin ang tungkol sa business trip na pupuntahan namin at ilang araw nalang bago kami umalis. That's why I offered her na kung gusto niya ay sumama siya sa'kin sa pagbili ng mga damit, nag ssnow kasi sa Seattle ngayon
Nagkita kami dito sa mall, hindi ko na kasi siya sinundo sa apartment niya
"You're getting only two winter jackets?"
"Boss ang mahal kasi eh" Caitlin
"Sino ba kasi nagsabing ikaw magbabayad. Ako na bahala"
"Po?" Caitlin
"Pick anything you need, and I'll pay. Besides, ma chacharge naman sa company yung gastos natin sa trip, yung pocket money lang yung sa'tin"
"Ahhh ok" Caitlin
"Bagay mo yung color white na winter jacket, wag yang black kasi hindi ka kita"
Yung expression niya parang naaasar na nahihiya haha
"Haha joke lang, hindi pero bagay talaga yung white sa'yo"
"Okkk" Caitlin
"Oh naasar ka yata eh, I'm just messing around. Most of my friends say that I'm a bully, sooo pagpasensyahan mo nalang ako hehe"
"Muka nga po. Kawawa nga si Thang-thang sa'yo eh" Caitlin
"You know what, stop saying po. I'm not your parent, Caitlin"
Caitlin chuckles
"Syempre po boss kita, kung wala ka wala rin akong trabaho" Caitlin
"I'm such a nice person talaga" sarcastic
"Nice ba yung bully?" Caitlin
"Ahh so gumaganti ka? Haha"
Natatawa nalang kami pareho haha
Patawa-tawa ako dito, hindi pa ako nakakapagpaalam kay Jho about sa business trip to Seattle 😬
