Moments later he left Randell's place and drove back to his condo. 

He almost ran after he parked, eager to go back to his unit. 

When he got inside his unit, he went straight to his room and took off his shirt and walking shorts, and left only his boxers. With a phone on his hand, he lay down on his bed. 

His heart raced again. He closed his eyes and prayed before he opened her message. 

Julie, I'm sorry. I'm just kidding. Sorry na,please. 🙏

                                 6:08 PM 

My answer is yes. Yes. I want to have a linkup with you again. 

                                 6:28 PM

Honestly, I miss working with you… I miss you Julie. I'm so sorry for everything.

                                 6:30 PM

You have all the right to be mad, Julie. I'm so sorry, I am an asshole. Can we talk? Not about the collaboration. I badly need to talk to you. Please. 

                                 6:32 PM

Julie? Please. Talk to me naman oh. What do you want me to do, for you to talk to me?

                                 6:35 PM

Promise just this once. Talk to me please. I miss you, Julie. 

                                6:38 PM

We have nothing to talk about aside from the collaboration. You made it clear eight years ago, Elmo. 

                                 10:38 PM

I can still remember how I begged you to stay and talk to me, I tried many times to explain my side but you never gave me a chance… You just left without saying a word, I understand that you're in pain. But do you think I never felt anything for losing my child? Hindi ako robot, Elmo! (He started crying) How dare you ask to talk to you, now? It's long overdue, Elmo. You don't even have the decency to tell me we're done. I just lost my child and you left me, do you know how painful it is? Linkup your ass! 

Deep emotions stirred, he had flashes of what happend inside her room in Makati Med, after he learned that she had a miscarriage.

He was half laying on the bed with her head in his arms when the doctor came in the hospital room. 

" Hello Julie Anne, how are you feeling?" 

" Thank you Doc. I feel good."

She answered, smiling at Dr. Kataleya De Villa who happened to be Elmo's Mom's childhood friend. 

"Hmm I have something to discuss with you. Did you know that---" 

She never finished her sentence, instead she looked at Elmo and Julie…he guided her to sit down and lean on the pillow on her back. And looked at Pia, who sitted in between French and Julie's Mom Marivic, beside her husband Jonathan. 

No one knew what the doctor would say, except Julie's Mom and her best friend Frencheska Farr who witnessed how she fell halfway on her way down the stairs. She passed out when her head hit the ground. She was excitedly shouting, running down the stairs when she saw French (whose away for two weeks when she had a vacation with her boyfriend Gino.) and the next thing she fall rolling down the stairs and her head was bleeding and there's also blood in between her thighs that made French and her Mom looked at each other before they call for help...somehow they had a clue.
