Happier

"You seem happy. And it was not because of me anymore." I was walking through studio 7's hallway when I saw you. With him. Naka-upo kayo. You are waiting na tawagin para makapag-rehearse. You two are holding hands. Looking so in love. Masakit. Na makita kang masaya kasama siya. Well. I want a second chance. Kaya nandito ako. Nagbabakasakali. I'm praying and hoping na tatanggapin mo ulit ako. Pero, parang late na ako. Sobrang late na nga yata. You are smiling. Napapangiti ka niya. Ngumingiti ka ng dahil sakanya. Masakit. Pero, I'm still happy that you're happy. "Ang ganda-ganda mo." Nasabi ko sa sarili ko. "I miss you, Julie." I said it aloud. But, you didn't hear me. Miss na miss ko na yung Julie na matatawag kong akin. Miss na miss ko na siya. Babalik ka pa ba? I'm still looking at you two. Ang saya niyo. Inggit na inggit ako. Nagtatawanan kayo. Unti-unting pinapatay ako. Tumayo ka. Hinihila mo siya. Habang tumatawa. Kunwari ayaw niyang tumayo. Sumenyas siya. He is asking for a kiss. Tinuro niya yung pisngi niya habang naka-pout. "Aww. Nagpapa-cute ang baby." Sabi mo. Malakas yon. Feeling ko tuloy pinaparinggan mo ko. Yung tipong, pinaparinig mo talaga sakin. Lumakas kase lalo nung sinabi mo yung word na 'baby'. Ang sakit naman nun. Bigla mo siyang niyakap. You kneeled down para magkapantay kayo. And, and you kissed him. Masakit. Nakaka-inggit. Tinignan ko siya. Mukhang kinilig siya. Ganon pala talaga yung epekto mo sakanya no? Tama nga sila. Halata sa ngiti niya. Ramdam kong mahal ka niya. Pero, mahal din kita. Mahal pa rin kita. "I love you baby." Sabi niya. Gusto kong sumigaw din. Aminin sa lahat ng tao dito kung gaano pa kita kamahal. "I love you too." You replied. Nakakainggit pala talaga na sa iba mo na yan sinasabi no? Sana ako pa rin yung kasama mo. Sana ako na lang yung nasa lugar niya. Mahal pa rin naman kita eh. Nagulat ako kase, you two look at the side where I am at. Agad akong nagtago. Sa sobrang kaba ko, nalampasan niyo na pala ako. Wala akong kamalay-malay. Tulad ng pagkawala ko ng malay na siya na pala yung gusto mo. Siya na pala yung mahal mo. I was your first boyfriend. But, I took you for granted. Sorry. Nasaktan kita. Totoong nung una sinubukan ko lang naman na ligawan ka. Sikat na sikat ka nun eh. Baka sakaling ako din, sumikat. It was my dream. Hindi ko yun sinasadya. What I didn't know is totoo na pala. Totoo na palang mahal kita. Sinayang ko no? Pasensya ka na. I tried to find where are you. Nasa Green Room pala kayo. Your mom looked for you. Kaya pala umalis muna kayo. Hayaan mo na lang muna ako na gawin 'to. Ang tignan ka sa malayo. I smiled when I saw your siblings. Jac and Joanna. Naging close din naman kase kame. Nung tayo pa. I am happy to see them. "Hi, Kuya." Jac was so excited to see him. I felt naman na she liked me for you nung tayo pa. Pero, iba si Jac kapag kasama siya. She was so comfortable with him. I never heard her laugh like that before. Buong pamilya mo yung napapasaya niya. By standing there. By being with you. Ako kase, I tried everything to fit in. That is how much I love you, Julie. Your mom is talking to you. Hindi ko marinig. Ang layo niyo eh. Sobrang layo mo. Sobrang layo mo na sa akin. Ang dami kong sinayang. Nakikipaglaro siya sa mga kapatid mo, then your father came. Buti hindi niya ako napansin. He greeted your father. "Hi, Tito." Nainggit ako. The entire time that we're together, kung hindi Sir ang tawag ko sakanya, e Mr. San Jose. Ang bias no? Dati pa lang ba talo na niya ako? "Hi, son." Your father said. Talo nga ako. Talong-talo na niya ako. Hindi lang sayo. Pati sa buong Pamilya mo. Masakit. Magpapa-alam pala sila sayo. Tuloy na pala yung pangarap niyong mag-vacation out of the country. Their flight is a day early than yours, kase may mga showbiz commitments ka pa. They trusted him more than they trusted me no? Iniwan ka nila sakanya eh. Dun ka na daw matulog sa condo niya. Walastik. Nung tayo pa, hindi nga pwede yung mga surprise visits eh. Kailangan ipagpaalam ka pa. At lalong hindi pwedeng tayo lang na dalawa. Bakit ganon? Yung points niya 10 na, ako negative 1 pa rin. "Baby, are you excited?" He asked. "Yes, baby yes." You answered habang tumatalon at pagkatapos ay yumakap ka sakanya. He smiled. Mukha namang totoo. "Thank you for arranging everything and for making this happen. I love you, I love you. I love you." Sa bawat I love you, you are kissing him. Hindi ako nakaramdam ng kahit ano. Parang namanhid na ako. Parang nasasanay na ako sa thought na meron na talagang 'kayo' at wala ng 'tayo'. Mali kase si Ed Sheeran dun sa sinabi niya na 'Ain't nobody love you like I do', kase, mahal ka din niya eh. Mas mahal ka pa nga yata niya kesa sa sarili niya. I shed a tear. Mabuti na lang nakalabas na kayo. Nakakakahiya eh. Mahal na mahal ka din niya, Julie. Bagay nga kayo eh. Pero sana tayo na lang. Kase, mahal pa kita. Mahal na mahal pa kita. "Uy Pare! Tama na yan." Someone tap me on my shoulders. Si Ruru. Nakita niya ako. I smiled and I shake it off. Tina-try ko pa rin itago. "Pare! Nakikita ka namin. Kanina pa. Dun pa lang sa hallway." Akala ko walang nakakapansin. "Hinayaan ka na lang namin kase baka if you see it for yourself mas madali mong matatanggap." I'm about to say something nang pinagpatuloy niya. "Julie is happy with Elmo, Pare. She seems happier." He gave me a smile. "Sobrang mahal siya ni Elmo, Ben. And, alam naman nating pareho how Julie love him too. Kahit dati pa." Tumingin ako dun sa kung nasaan sila kanina. "Surrender na tayo, Pare ha? Be happy for her. You'll be happy too." Sabi niya at umalis na. Ang gulo-gulo na ng isip ko. I am here para makuha siya ulit di ba? Bakit ganito? Parang kabaligtaran ng lahat ng plano ko. Ang hirap. Ang hirap masaktan. Binalak ko ng umuwi when I heard you sing. Rehearsals. It was a familiar song. It was 'Baby You Are' - the first song you've written. And it was for him -- for Elmo. It was familiar for me kase I heard it before. Pero para kay Elmo, he's home. You're looking at one direction while singing. Siyempre, kay Elmo. Kanina medyo tanggap ko na, pero, ang sakit pa rin pala. Ako yung unang boyfriend. Pero, si Elmo yung unang minahal. Ako yung pinakilala sa buong mundo. Pero, si Elmo, siya yung naging mundo. Ako yung laging kasama. Pero, si Elmo yung hinahanap. Dati pa, talo na ako. Dati pa, siya na ang nanalo. I look at him. Bakit ganon? I felt na yung smile niya for her is genuine. I shouldn't feel that right? Kase di ba I am winning her back? Pero kase, talong-talo na ako eh. They are happy with each other. Mahal nila ang isa't-isa. Dati na akong naging kontrabida sa love story nila. I think, it is time for their happy ending. Dapat pa ba akong humadlang? Tumabi ako kung saan naka-upo si Elmo. Habang nasa backstage si Julie. "Magalona!" Gulat siyang lumingon sa akin. "Alves!" Hamon niyang sagot. "Ingatan mo na yan ha? Kase kapag pinakawalan mo pa, I'll be there in a second." He smiled. "I already knew her worth. I won't let anyone get her from me. We are happy. I hope you can find it in yourself to be happy too." And then, I left. I opened my tumblr account and wrote: "Dear Boo, You look happier. But, if he hurt you, just know that I will wait for you. Truly, Boo" I locked my phone. And, I closed my eyes. I am seeing you. But, you are with him. "Julie, you look happier. You do. Elmo made you the happiest. I think I'll be fine."

Cold Summer Night

"Happy Birthday, @myjaps." Julie's staring at that one particular tweet. For an hour. Or two maybe? She lost count. Well, why not? It was from him. Yes, him. Elmo. You read it right. The Elmo Magalona greeted her on her birthday. Hindi nga lang tulad ng greetings for Janella na punong-puno ng effort. Pero, at least di ba? Hindi niya nakalimutan. Bumati siya. It was also past May 17th. Kaya biglang-bigla, at gulat na gulat siya. "Bugak ka talaga Elmo eh." Sabunot ni Julie sa sarili. You can't snatch it away from her. Yung ganung effect ni Elmo sakanya. No one can, actually. Kahit yung rumored boyfriend niya pa. Elmo yan eh. Ben lang yun. Julie revisited Elmo's twitter account. Napangiti siya when she saw that tweet again. Yung totoo? Kinikilig siya. Kaninang-kanina pa. She also saw his photo that he tweeted on Mother's Day. Napatawa siya. It was not the first time she saw it. Marami na ring nag-tag sakanya non. "Sume-sense of humor ang Mokong." Sabi niya na tumatawa. Sabay haplos sa mukha ng gwapong dating ka-loveteam. Parang nung sa Yellow Note. Medyo same feelings pa nga eh. She scroll down below at nakita niya yung mga replies dun sa picture. So, may something pala sa loveteam nila ni Janella yung 'Meow'. Uminit ang ulo niya. Is she jealous? Imposible. May boyfriend siya eh. Sinara niya ang laptop. Take note! Pabagsak ha. Hindi basta-basta sinara lang. Walang pag-turn off. Selos nga. She find herself na gegewang-gewang pababa ng hagdan. Kukuha lang sana siya ng tubig na maiinom. Julie's a bit tipsy. Konti lang naman ang nainom niya. Pero, for a person na hindi sanay sa alcoholic drink, may iba talagang epekto. Safe naman siyang nakabalik sa room niya. Pabagsak na humiga sa kama at nagtakip ng unan sa mukha. Sakto kase, "Bwiset ka Elmo!!!" sigaw niya. Madaling-araw na. Ayaw naman niyang maistorbo ang pamilya niya. Dahil lang sa kabaliwan niya. She grabbed her phone and fidget. She doesn't know what to do. Bigla na lang she tap the Music icon on her new iPhone. She stared on a super familiar song na kaka-purchase niya lang ulit sa iTunes. CSN - Elmo Magalona "Bakit ba ganito ang album cover mo? Sana man lang mukha mo." She grinned. "I actually love staring at your beautiful face. Your eyes are my favorite." Bulong niya. She looked for her earphones and plugged it onto her phone and started listening. She's smiling. The whole damn time. "Sobra yung inimprove ng boses mo. Pero ganon pa rin yung effect. Nakaka-inlove." She said. She wanted to hear and see all versions of this new Cold Summer Night. She opened youtube on her laptop. There were versions nung sila pa yung magka-tandem. She was feeling nostalgia. "Grabe! Ang tagal na pala." Sa isip niya. Medyo nalungkot siya going down memory lane. Kase nga naman, ito na sila ngayon oh: hindi nagpapansinan. May nakita siyang most recent videos na version din nung song. It was the one with his new ka-loveteam. Si Janella. When he was a guest sa isang parang mini-concert. Huminga siya ng malalim before hitting the play button. While listening to it, may kakaibang naramdaman si Julie. Was it guilt? Bakit naman? Or jealousy? Mas possible yan. She hold her phone tight and dialed a familiar number na kabisado ng puso niya. Sakto naman pala kase, she still have his old number. While dialing, she's praying to all the gods na sana yun pa rin yung number na gamit niya. "Hala nag-ring." Gulat na sabi ni Julie. Isang ring lang, binaba niya na. Hindi pa ba talaga siya ready? Baka nga. She played another video. Another version na surprise pang lumabas si Janella. The song's launch sa ASAP. The one where she did the rap verse. Napa-ismid si Julie. Ayun na naman yung naramdaman niya kanina. "Bwiset. Bwiset." Sabi niya. And, dialed his number for the second time. Tatlong ring. Cancelled. Nasisiraan na yata siya ng bait. Nagtakip ulit siya ng unan sa mukha. Yung favorite niyang Elmo the Muppet na pillow. Sumigaw, "Elmo, bwiset ka. Bwiset." Habang pumapadyak sa kama niya. Nabaliw na nga ng tuluyan. Sa sobrang ingay niya. Hindi niya na narinig yung phone niya. May tumatawag. Returning a phone call. Si Elmo. Si Elmo tumatawag. Si Elmo, tinatawagan siya. And it stopped. Ang tagal na rin namang nagriring eh. May tumatawag ulit. This time, sinagot na ni Julie. Hindi pa nga nakakapag-hello yung nasa kabilang linya, inunahan niya na, "Elmo, bwiset ka." sabi niya, sabay baba ng phone. Natawa siya sa saril niya. Hindi niya akalain na masasabi niya yun. Naguguluhan siya ng may biglang nag-notify sa phone niya. It was a twitter notification. May bagong tweet si Elmo. Hello. Of course she subscribed from his tweets. Hindi naman nito malalaman eh. Stalking at its finest yan. "Ganun na pala magthank you ngayon" Natawa siya. Tawang-tawa siya. Hanggang sa may tumatawag na naman. Hindi lang basta call 'yun. Kase, it was an invite through Facetime. Huminga siya ng malalim and accepted the invite. "Well, hello, Julie." Namiss ni Julie yung boses na yun. Natulala lang siya. "Why are you still awake? Nasa bahay ka ba? Or nasa taping?" He asked. "Bahay." Absent-minded niyang sagot. Napa-smirk si Elmo. That is very familiar to her. Sobrang familiar. "Ahh. Okay. So, you have early call time kaya gising ka na?" He's trying to make a conversation. Umiling lang si Julie bilang sagot. Wala pa rin sa sarili. "Ang pogi mo." She said. Wala nga sa sarili. "Alam ko." Natatawa at mayabang na sagot ni Elmo. May sasabihin na sana si Julie. She was trying to redeem herself. Pero, wala eh. Nauna pa rin si Elmo. Tulad ng dati, mabilis pa rin talaga magsalita. "Bakit pala napatawag ka? Tapos, sinabihan mo pa ako ng bwiset ako?" Bumalik na kay Julie lahat. "Eh bwiset ka naman talaga eh." Napa-awang ang bibig ni Elmo. "Una, bakit ba bigla-bigla ka na lang magtu-tweet? Ha?" Sasagot naman dapat si Elmo. Pero, pinipigil siya ni Julie. "Pangalawa, bakit mas lalong gumaling ka ng kumanta?" Napa-iwas naman bigla si Julie ng tingin. "Dahil ba sakanya? Tinuruan ka ba niya?" "At, pangatlo. Mas magaling pa rin akong mag-rap sakanya. Mas bagay pa rin yung boses nating dalawa." Elmo was surprised. He doesn't know saan ba galing lahat ng 'yon. Sa sobrang pagkalito, he asked, "Where are all these coming from? What happened?" nag-aalala niyang tanong. "Well, I'm drunked. Konti lang naman. Need ko lang din ng lakas ng loob to ask you all those." Elmo gave her a straight face. "Aww. Bakit ka naman uminom, baby?" Pareho silang nagulat sa sinabi niya. "I'm sorry. I mean, Julie." Bawi niya. "Kase naman. You confused me." She said. He felt like, she just want an answer. "Okay. I'm sorry if this confused you. Gusto ko lang din talagang i-greet ka. This is an important day for you di ba? It was once an important day for me too." He smiled. "Medyo late na nga. Kase, busy ako kahapon sa taping." Kamot-ulo niyang pahabol. She felt it. That familiar pang in her heart. She missed those. "For your second question. I am attending voice lessons. Since lumipat ako, they've been so good to me." Julie's waiting for further more. "It was not really because of her. It was all because I wanted to put an effort to this. Ever since naman my dad died, mas naging passion ko na yung pagkanta." Smile is evident to his voice. "Miss ko na nga rin yung dati kong voice coach eh. Nakalimutan na niya ako." Iwas naman si Julie. "Loko lang Julie. Pero, sana nga, if may time ka, try mo ulit na i-coach ako. Effective ka naman eh." May kilig na naramdaman si Julie. Tinago niya lang. "Well, for the 3rd question. Which is yung pinakamahirap sagutin." He grinned. "Don't compare yourself to her. Janella have her own style pagdating sa music. Pero sige, let's give it to you kase birthday mo naman. Mas may swag ka talaga when it comes to rapping. You can easily mirror my ways in rapping kase eh." Tawa niya. "Pero, seriously Julie. Wag mo i-compare. Magkaiba kayo. She's special. And you are too. Magkaiba kayo ng ways of being special to me." She smiled. A bit weak. "You like her?" She asked. Yumuko si Elmo, and answered, "Yes." Julie's in the midst of crying. "Julie di ba may Ben ka na?" A tear fell. Habang nakayuko siya. And then, she nod. "Pero, gusto ko akin ka pa rin." Umiiyak niyang sagot. She's emotional. Maybe, dala na rin ng alak sa katawan niya. "Julie. Look at me." Umangat naman ang ulo niya and faced him. "Hindi kase pwede yun eh. Kung ako, ako lang. Kung siya, siya lang." He gave her a weak smile. "Medyo matagal din akong na-stuck sayo eh. Now that my heart is starting to be happy, ito ka na naman." "Ang unfair lang eh." Dagdag ni Elmo. "Am I the one to blame? Kung hindi ba ako naging ma-pride. Pwedeng sa akin ka pa rin?" Natawa si Elmo. Yung mapakla. "As long as alam kong ako lang Julie. Sapat na yun. Kahit pa naging ma-pride ka, ayos lang. Basta sana ako lang eh." "Alam ko naman that I've hurt you Moe eh. Ito na ba yung price nun? Hindi pala okay sa pakiramdam na makita kang masaya kasama siya. I am seeing myself to her. Yun nga ata yung mas mahirap eh. Kase, madali niya akong mapapalitan." Saad ni Julie. "Miss na miss na kita, Moe." "Mas miss na miss na kita, Julie. If you ever knew." "Sabi mo nga sa song mo, is there any way for you to turn around and come back? It has been years. Sawa na din ako na ganito tayo. Yung parang hindi magkakilala." Elmo smiled at her. Yung may pagmamahal. "It'll be a matter of time, baby." Julie was too focus on him. "Let's give it some time. Iba kase yung nasa puso mo ngayon eh. Iba din yung sinasabi ng utak mo. At lalong iba yung sinasabi ng bibig mo, dahil nakainom ka. You are under the influence of an alcohol. So, let's not trust that, okay?" Tumango-tango si Julie. "Kasalanan ko din naman Julie. Hinayaan ko lang na hindi ka tumawag. Na, hindi ka nakapagpaliwanag. Don't put all the blame on you, okay?" "Wag ka na rin, umiyak. Okay?" Puro pagtango lang ang sagot ni Julie. Kanina, siya itong madaldal. "There will always be Julie and Elmo along the way. Let them find their way back into each other." "Thank you, Elmo." Natawa si Elmo. "Bakit? Anong nakakatawa?" "That was the answer I'm looking for kanina. Hindi yung bwiset ako." Sabay na silang natawa. Masaya sila na at least nakapag-usap sila. Gusto pa rin naman pala nila ang isa't-isa. Mukhang madaming magiging masaya na malaman yon. Kaso, hindi pa nila pwedeng i-share sa lahat. It's complicated. "Julie, you sleep. You look tired." Pupungay-pungay na rin kase ang mata niya. "Sing for me please." They look at each other and smiled. "Just like 2012." Sabay nilang sabi. Ano pa nga bang bagay na kantahin sa situation nila ngayon? Of course. Cold Summer Night. Julie was so happy that finally, she talked to him. And he made her feel in love again. She's starting to close her eyes. And he was happy and satisfied. "I miss you baby. I need you here."

Chapter 16 - Secrets

Not proofread.

Not edited.

Nagising si Elmo sa alarm ng phone niya at 6am, na nakalimutan niyang baguhin kagabi. Dahil gising narin naman siya ay dumiretso na siya sa bathroom sa hall to shower and brush his teeth, since he decided to let Julie stay in his room. 30 minutes after taking care of business, he went back to the room he occupied last night. Nagsuot ng khaki shorts at and a gray wife beater and went downstairs to the kitchen to see if anyone is up already. Pagdating niya sa kitchen ay wala pang tao so he decided to start brewing the coffee, and grabbed pancake mix and eggs from the pantry, and bacon, ham and hotdog from the fridge. Before sila magpunta sa rest house ng family niya, he asked the care takers to buy grocery for their breakfast lang, tapos sila ng bahala sa meal nila for the rest of their stay there.  He went to the living room and turned the turntable and amplifier on then picked one of his favorite album and nilagay ang plaka sa turntable, there was a scratching sound then the music started playing. Di malakas ang sounds niya, sakto lang na animo'y parang background music lang. He went back to the kitchen getting all the ingredients he need, he started making the pancake batter at sinalang na ang bacon, ham, and hotdogs na sabay-sabay in seperate pans, tutal 5 burner gas range naman ang gamit niya. Nang makita niyang tapos na mag brew ang coffee he poured himself a cup and took 2 big gulps then went back to his cooking.

Habang naka tingin sa niluluto niya, naisip niya ulit ang encounter nilang dalawa ni Julie kagabi. Every time na nakikita niya ito parang mas lalo pa siyang gumaganda. Kung hindi siya nagda-drive, at kailangan naka focus sa daan ay buong car ride ay tititigan nalang niya ito. Aware siya na engaged na si Julie sa ibang lalaki, pero alam ni Elmo ang nakita niya during the merger party sa men's lavatory, alam niyang niloloko si Julie ni Aiden, pero kahit ganon no choice siya kung hindi maging mabuting kaibigan.

Am I really being a good friend by not telling her what I saw? At the same time, habang pinipigilan ang kanyang nararamdaman para kay Julie.

'And all the roads we have to walk are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I

Would like to say to you but I don't know how  

Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all, you're my wonderwall '

He was still deep in thought , tending to his cooking ng marinig niya ang paborito niyang kanta and that he couldn't stop himself from singing along to the music while  flipping the pancakes na nasa pan narin at the time when he heard a voice,

"Good morning Elmo! Mukhang maganda ang gising natin Elmo ah? Kumakanta ka pa talaga, hahahaha!" Maqui said.

"Good morning to you too Frencheska." he replied, then looked at Julie who elbowed Maqui sa side, when she looked back at him, nagtama mga mata nila at nginitian siya nito.

"Good morning Moe."

"Good morning Julie. Coffee?" Elmo asked as he moved to get two cups para sa mag best friend and filled it with coffee.

Julie ans Maqui headed for the dining table and sat down as Elmo served them their coffee.

"Thank you." Julie said with a smile as she took a sip of her coffee

"Thank you Magalona."

"You're both welcome!" sagot ni Elmo at bumalik na sa kitchen para ilipat sa serving plate ang mga niluto niya.

In-eenjoy nila Julie ang kape nila habang hinihintay matapos ang niluluto ni Elmo. A few minutes after ay lumapit na si Elmo para ihain ang mga niluto niya sa lamesa, hanggang sa nag si babaan narin ang iba nilang kasama para saluhan sila sa breakfast.

Habang kumakain sila ay napag usapan narin nila kung ano gagawin nila sa araw na yun at ang lugar na pupuntahan nilang mga establishments, etc.  Nang matapos na sila kumain ng breakfast, sinabihan na niya ang mga team niya na mag prepare na dahil after 30 minutes ay lalarga na sila, since gusto sana ni Julie na maaga sila makaalis para hindi sila gabihin, at maaga din makapag pahinga dahil marami silang target na puntahan.

Nauna nang nagsipag akyatan sa kani-kanilang kwarto ang teamates ni Julie para makapag ayos na sila,  habang siya ay tinutulungan si Elmo na ilagay ang mga nagamit nilang dishes sa dishwasher, si Maqui naman ay hindi parin tapos kumain.

"Maq! bilisan mo naman jan! In 30 minutes aalis na tayo!"

"Oo na, heto na nga oh binibilisan na!"

Elmo was leaning at the kitchen counter with his arms crossed was watching the banter of the two women with amusement.

"Ang bagal bagal kasi kumain!"

"Ang dami kaya nito!"

"Bakit kasi ang dami mong kinuha?"

"Eh natakam ako eh! Di kaya tayo nag dinner kagabi! Puro chichirya lang."

Elmo chuckled kaya napatingin ang dalawa sa kanya.

"Anong tinatawatwa mo jan Magalona?" Maqui chastised habang si Julie naman ay natahimik at napatitig kay Elmo.

"Hoy Julie Anne! Bakit natahimik ka yata jan?" puna ni Maqui

Elmo looked at Julie curiously at napansin niyang namumula ang pisngi nito.

"W-Wala. Mauna na ko umakyat para mag ayos. Bilisan mo na jan Maqui! After 30 Minutes at di ka pa tapos iiwan ka na namin." sabi ni Julie habang naglalakad palabas ng kitchen/dining room.

"Yes ma'am! Sunod ako pag tapos ko dito." Maqui answered.

Elmo watched Julie walk out of the kitchen to head upstairs to shower and change, and now he was left at the kitchen with Maqui. He walked towards the dining table and sat in front of Julie's best friend. He decided in a whim, to confide in Maqui.

"Maq, may tanong ako" Elmo asked when he was sure na hindi na sila maririnig ni Julie.

"Shoot." Maqui said habang tinatapos ang breakfast niya.

"Gaano na katagal si Julie and her..... fiancé?"

Maqui chuckled, "May panagalan yung tao Elmo. Aiden pangalan niya." Shaking her head with mirth at Elmo's obvious disdain towards Julie's better half.

"Right, whatever, di mo sinagot tanong ko. Gaano na sila katagal and paano sila nagkakilala?"

Maqui looked at him with a smirk on her face, "Ikaw Moses ah! What's with the questions? Kung gusto mo malaman bakit di mo tinanong si Julie kanina bago siya umakyat?"

"I'm just curious, tsaka baka kung ano isipin ni Julie kapag siya tinanong ko and besides ikaw best friend ni Julie kaya sigurado akong masasagot mo tanong ko."

"Hahaha! Sus! If I know nag seselos ka lang!"

"Hoy, hindi ah! Di ako nagseselos, curious lang talaga ako. Dali na Maq! Stop teasing! Seryosong tanong yun!"

"Okay, Fine!" Maqui sighed, while Elmo listened intently.

"They met two years ago," Maqui continued, taking a sip from her coffee, "Nung mag start mag work dun si Aiden, pero di namann agad na nagging sila, they dated for a while, then eventually nagging sila before pa mag start yung scandal with the former CFO ng SJ Corp."

She looked at Elmo who seemed to be in deep thought after she answered his questions.

"Why are you suddenly curious about their history Elmo?" Maqui added.

Elmo looked at Maqui, sighed deeply "Aware ba si Julie sa extra curricular activities ng fiancé niya?"

"Extra curricular.... What the fuck are you talking about Magalona?" Pagtatakang tanong ni Maqui

"N-Nothing..." Elmo answered uneasily, clearing his throat he continued, "What do you think of their relationship? Masaya ba sila? What was your first impression of him?"

Maqui just looked at him curiously, naghihinala siyang may alam si Elmo na hindi niya sinasabi, na nagpapangamba sakanya.

"Seriously, what are you trying to say Elmo? May alam ka ban a dapat kong malaman? Na dapat malaman ni Julie?"

Nagtinginan lang sila ni Elmo, when he sighed deeply at lumipat sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ni Maqui.

He cleared his throat, and uttered the words as quietly as possible, "Kung ano man ang sasabihin ko sayo ngayon Maq, stays between the two of us. Promise me."

Napaisip si Maqui, "Fine. I promise." She said.

Bumuntong hininga ulit si Elmo ng napaka lalim and leaned even closer kay Maqui.

Sinubukan lumayo ni Maqui kasi medyo di siya kumportable sa posisiyon nila pero hiniwakan ni Elmo ang braso niya para pigilan ang pag iwas ni MAqui sa kanya.

'During the merger party, nung nagpunta ako sa Male's lavatory, I heard a noise in one of the stall, moans and groans to be precise, of a man and a woman--"

"What are you getting at?" pag-interrupt ni Maqui.

"Just let me finish" Elmo said sighing again.

"I thought, when I first heard it was, 'good for you man.' Because I used to do those kind of thing when I was in the US, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of thing—"

"God Magalona! TMI! TMI!" Maqui said incredulously

"Stop interrupting me Frencheska!"

"Get to the point of your story na kasi!"

"Ito na nga!" Elmo leaned in closely again, "I guess they were in the cusp of their fucking when I went inside kasi after nun the woman stumbled out looking disheveled, and went out of the lavatory while doing the best she can to fix herself, then after the guy came out tucking his shirt then zipping his pants, I got a good look at him through the mirror and gave him an approving smile, you know.

"Men" Maqui muttered.

"Anyway, I left him there after I mentioned getting the stain sa pants niya cleaned up—"

"Ewww!" Maqui looking disgusted.

"—before leaving the lavatory and going back to the party. Di ko alam kung sino siya at that time, I assumed na isa siyang employee ng SJC enjoying the party until---"

"Oh, God no"

"Until Julie introduced him to me and Kuya Frank as her boyfriend and then later on that night...her fiancé." Elmo finished silently fuming.

"That fucker!!! Sabi ko na eh!! Tama hinala ko!" Maqui exclaimed in anger

"Sshh! Maq keep your voice down!" Elmo hissed quietly.

"What spurred this on Elmo? Bakit mo ngayon lang naisipang sabihan ako? And bakit hindi mo sinabi kay Julie? You had plenty of opportunity to tell her."

"I don't know...I just... She deserves better Maq..She doesnt deserve to be lied, cheated on and humiliated like this. She just, she deserves better."

Maqui nodded in understanding, "We need to tell Julie."

"Maq, we can't tell Julie, at least not yet."

"And why the hell not?!"

"Wala tayong proof!"

"Anong walang proof? Eh nakita mo na nga with your own two eyes diba? What more proof do we need?" Maqui asked incredulously but kept her voice down still.

"Sa tingin mob a maniniwala sakin si Julie king sabihin natin sakanya?"

"Oo! You're her best friend too!"

"I don't know... basta wag muna ngayon.."

"Eh kalian pa? Kapag ikakasal na sila?"

"No! Kahit after lang ng launch ng clothing line, she will be devastated when she finds out Maq! And this launch has a lot riding on it! Its very important sa SJC and sa FMCC na maging successful ang launch na ito, hindi siya pwede ma side track."

Maqui sighed in resignation, because he has a point. "Fine! Basta promise me that you'll tell her. Kung hindi ako ang magsasabi. Julie has the right to know."

Napalingon sila sa likuran nila at medyo lumayo sila sa isa't isa nang margining ang boses ni Julie.

"What is it that I have got the right to know?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hello dear readers! It has been a very, very long time. As you all know ATT is on INDEFINITE HOLD, since after everything that's been happening with my personal life, being busy with work and my daughter, wala na kong time tapos dagdag pa yung situation ng dalawa nating alaga na di nakaka inspire hahaha! Anyway, to be honest I'm not a very good storyteller, just gave this a try kasi i was inspired to write, I had the concept, the plot, how everything will happen in mind that i cant get out kasi i wanted to see how the story will go and mejo okay pa kasi before. Eventually, life happens and I rarely have time to update, hanggang sa parang nawalan na ko ng gana narin. Kaya, instead of leaving this story incomplete, unfinished, I decided to put it on hold nalang, so whenever inspiration struck i can write it down (yes id o write it down on a piece of paper or more) and have it typed and posted, but I guess once in a blue moon narin mangyari yun, years na yata yung last. So I would like to apologize and ask for your understanding narin. Marami parin naman writers na sumusulat ng JE FFs and are very active sa pag update, diba? Kaya for the meantime sakanila nalang muna haha or basahin niyo nalang ulit mga all time fave nating FFs from TRB, Sookie, OrangeandBlue, wedancedancedance, Proofyroofy, julielmolovin, iammind, iheartsnickerz, wanderwonderingmind, DerpHerp, BundokPuno, etc., kasi ako ganon, I seem to never get tired of rereading all of their stories. ^_^  

Continue spreading the JuliElmo love!

No hate here, just LOVE!

Yours truly,

A JuliElmo faney. Always 💗

Dreaming of you. 😂

I have been a fan of this tandem called JuliElmo (Julie Anne San Jose & Elmo Magalona). So, I have heard news about how they are doing individually since it's quite impossible to see them both together now because they are on different stations/company now. And they have their own respective lovelife, so impossible. As for my dream, I didn't expect that they would just appear like that because I haven't thinking about them lately and it's just Julie that I've been checking on sometimes. The setting in my dream was like the call center thing the programs do when there's a calamity in the country. There were 4 people working there and two of them is Julie and Elmo. Then that's it. 😂 -I just have to get this out. 😂😂😂

Tadhana

Sa unang pag-awit ng dalawang puso, Dalawang magkaibang mundo, Ang tuluyang pinagtagpo, Sa isang entablado na may awiting bago..

Sa ilang taong nagdaan sa inyong dalawa, Isang magandang pagkakaibigan ang nagsimula, Dumating man ang maraming problema sa inyong dalawa, Hindi nito nasira ang inyong pagsasama..

Sa isang iglap, kayo’y nagbago, Tadhana nga’y tunay na mapagbiro, Kayong dalawa’y pinaglayo, At walang nakaalam ng dahilan nito..

Ang mga nagmamahal ay naiwang lito, Nagtatanong kung bakit nagkaganito, Ang dating masayang pagkakaibigan nyo, Ay parang bulang bigla na lang naglaho..

Ngunit katulad ng unang awitin ninyo, Walang nakatibag sa samahang inyong nabuo, Ito’y binubuo ng libo-libong tagahanga, Na handang maghintay sa muli nyong pagsasama..
