Irreplaceable You

57: Ikaw Pa Rin

Jhoana

"May gusto ka bang sabihin?" Jhoana
Isabel Beatriz, she's been staring at me ever since we got down.

I asked her if she can join me for dinner, pumayag naman siya, ambilis pa nga sumagot eh.

"Wala naman" Isabel

"Then why are you staring at me?" Jhoana

"Wala lang, ang ganda mo kasi." Isabel

"Gutom lang yan." Jhoana

"Can I play some music?" Isabel

"Sure." Jhoana

Ayaw na daw niya lumabas, she's kinda tired and ayaw ko naman siyang pilitin.

"Papadeliver ba tayo?" Jhoana

But no answer.

Suddenly I heard,

"Oh wag kang tumingin ng ganyan sa 'kin
Wag mo akong kulitin
Wag mo akong tanungin

Oh Burnout.

Lumakad siya papalapit sa akin.

She's lip syncing

Dahil katulad mo ako rin ay nagbago
Di na tayo katulad ng dati
Kay bilis ng sandali

"You're still listening to sugarfree?" Jhoana

Oh kay tagal din kitang minahal

"Always Jho, di na nagbago." Isabel

Oh, kay tagal din kitang minahal kung iisipin mo
Di naman dati ganito teka muna, teka lang

"Ikaw ba are you still listening to Sugarfree?" Isabel

"I stopped." Jhoana

"Oh bakit naman?" Isabel

"It's just that, things happened. So uhm paano tayo magdidinner? Padeliver na lang?" Jhoana

Yeah, sudden change of topic. Ever since Bea died, listening to Sugarfree makes my heart ripped into pieces. Until now, kahit nasa harap ko siya, ang sakit pa din pakinggan ng Sugarfree. It is her favorite band and listening to those songs surely bring back a lot of memories.

"Uhm I'll be cooking." Isabel

"Since when?" Jhoana

"Since before?" Isabel

"No lie? Hahahahahahaha you're kidding right?" Jhoana

"Hala siya! Saya mo ah, oo nga I will cook. Watch me!" Isabel

"Nako wag na, ako na lang baka masunog pa tong bahay niyo. Nakakahiya naman kay Tita Det." Jhoana

"Ay ang lakas mo ha! Umupo ka diyan, iseseminar kita sa pagluluto." Isabel

"Sira! How about you cook, I cook? Let's suprise each other!" Jhoana

"Aba nanghahamon ka ah. Sure! Deal ako diyan! Minamaliit mo luto ko ah, pag to natikman mo, inlove ka sakin after." Isabel

"Sira!" Jhoana

Gusto ko sanang sabihin, tagal na! Chos!

We started preparing our food. I'll cook her favorite Adobo. It's been a while since I cooked Adobo. And matagal na din niyang di natitikman to for sure.

Four months na ata kaming magkawork pero I haven't cook anything since then. Saka usually sa restaurant na ni Bianca kami kumakain. No time for cooking.
