“So?????” sabi ni Julie habang kumakain sila sa isang pizza house.
Nilunok muna ni Elmo ang kinakain bago sumagot “what do you mean so?????”
“You really are so slow no?” kumagat muna si Julie “I still wonder why you’re the CEO of the company.” Pang aasar neto.
Napatigil si Elmo sa pangunguya at nag bago ang facial expression nito “You really are something no?” panggagawa nito sa unang sentence ng dalaga “I still wonder why I haven’t fired you.” Ganti nito.
“Di ko naman pinilit sarili ko sa company mo no! You were the one who accepted me. “The company deserves her” was your exact words, correct me if I'm not.”
“Anyway? Arent you gonna tell me the story?”
“Of the girl who cant be named.” Umakto si Julie na parang si Harry Potter.
“Its none of your business.” Seryoso nanaman ito.
“Well, okay you’ll tell me that someday. Tell me something else nalang about yourself.” Sabi ni Julie
“Cmon, Magalona! We’re going to be friends for God knows how long! Mas okay naman siguro kung ang ikwento ko sa tao na mag tatanong about you is more than a guy who keeps on treating me foods.”
“Sige. Ako nalang mag kwento!”
“May magagawa pa ba ako.”
“Corny mo kasing kasama!” another fact about him na hindi siya nahiyang sabihin.
“I still live with my parents sa Bulacan.”
“No wonder na ano, Magalona?” and she gave him an AYUSIN MO YANG SASABIHIN MONG FACE.
“With two siblings. A kuya and a baby bro.”
“How come you work here, eh sa bulakan ka papala?”
“Uyyy! Interested!” sabay tapik ni Julie sa ilong ni Elmo “Chismoso ka din pala no?” pag aasar ulit ng dalaga.
“I have a condo naman dito din sa Ortigas.” Huminga si Julie. “Ang hirap naman mag bigay ng information. Ask me nalang kasi. Please?”
“KJ! Parang di dumaan sa pagka high school!” saka tumayo si Julie at akmang aalis na.
Huminga ng malalim si Elmo “I have two sisters. Two ates.” Saka napatigil si Julie.
“They both have their own families already. They’re both staying at States. My ate jacky si working at the main company of ours there. Si ate CC naman she’s a wonderful chef. I choose to stay here sa Pinas...” bigla siyang napatigil at parang may na alala. Habang seryosong nakikinig sakanya si Julie “because of certain reasons. But also because this is home. I studied sa right after grade school, and thats when I met Eric. I graduated collage there as well. Then yon. Here I am.”
“Do you have any pamangkins.”
“Well, I have four. 3 kay ate jack. There’s Jenevieve, Cathy, and Emmanuel. According kay ate reincarnation daw naming silang tatlo. Para siyang timang” dun nakita ni Julie ang saya sa mata ni Elmo. Kahit hindi ito ngumingiti or showing any happy gestures. “Then ate CC has a little boy, si Mosey. He’s the baby of the pack so malamang he’s the cutest.”
Dun napatigil si Elmo. “They’re watching us always. They’re wherever we are and whenever we need them. They’re the most supportive parents ever.” Huminga siya ng malalim “Kaso they stay with God already so.. yun.”
“Well, it seems like you have a great family.” Sabi ni Julie “I wont say sorry for asking about you’re parents though” iniba ni Julie ang pwesto niya “Because they deserved to be talked about lalo na’t it seems like napalaki naman nila ng maayos ang mga anak nila.”
While saying each word she said, She was looking to Elmo and Elmo was look straight back at her. And for the first time! For the long time Elmo smiled with teary eyes and she smiled back.
Dalawang lingo na ang nakakalipas they successfully launched the product. It was successful. Tumaas ang sales, ratings, lahat! Which made Elmo very proud syempre. Sa pag lipas ng panahon, Julie and Elmo became good friends. They go out with Eric and Bettina, and sometimes they go out by themselves. Day by day the two of them became close to each other as well. Elmo in the meantime isn’t so grouchy like he was.
“Magalona!” pumasok si Julie ng office ni Elmo at wala itong katok manlang.
“Great! Dalawa na ngayon ang di kumakatok bago pumasok sa office ko.”Napaangat ng tingin si Elmo at nakita niya ang bakas ng pag aalala kay Julie “Oh? What’s up?” napatayo pa siya pag aalala pero nung napansin niya iyon umupo siya ulit
“I'm sorry I know this is so urgent pero I have to go back to bulacan today. I have to leave the project for 1 week. Is that okay?” the new project she meant.
“1 week? That’s a long vacation, Juls” That’s right. ‘Juls’ nickname basis na sila ngayon.
“I know! I know! It just slipped my mind! I'm so sorry! Oh my gosh I'm so irresponsible as ever!” pabalik balik siyang naglalakan sa harapan ni Elmo
“Matagal ka nang iresponsable, Julie Anne.”
“But I have to be at my brother’s Wedding and there’s gonna be a family get-together, I really need to be there. Please please please?” pagmamakaawa ni Elmo.
Huminga ito ng malalim “Okay.”
Nanlaki ang mata ni Julie “FOR REAL, MAGALONA????? OH MY GOSHHH!! THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!! WALA NANG BAWIAN HA!”
“sa get-together find some time to update your team.”
“I will!! Sino nagsabing hindi?”
“Irresponsible ka diba?? Kakasabi mo lang.”
“Tse! Una na ako ha! As in now na alis ko!”
Hindi na sumagot pa si Elmo. At tuluyan nang umalis si Julie.
“hmmm. One week? Would it that be long?” tanong niya sa sarili. “Oh why the hell care, Elmo Magalona!” pag let out niya ng feelings niya.
