“Magbreak na tayo”
***
<Elmo’s POV>
3 days after that day, heto ako sa couch nakahiga. Nialalaro ko si Ellie. Binigyan ako ng maiinom ni kuya Renz tapos umupo siya sa harap ko.
“Eh ‘yong isang babae, nakausap mo na ba?”
“Hindi pa po eh pero kakausapin ko siya mamaya”
“Bakit ka ba anditong bat aka, eh may klase ka pa ata? Sa akin ka iniwan nila Frank kaya kapag ikaw nagloko, kasalanan ko na din”
“Hayaan mo na kuya Renz. Ayoko pa din naman pumasok. Mamaya na lang”
Nilapag ko si Ellie tapos dinala ko ‘yong inumin sa labas saka ako nagpunta sa pinakatuktok ng building.
“Akala ko happy ending na” Naalala ko na naman ‘yong mga sinabi niya that day. “Sorry, hindi ako sobrang sweet na girlfriend sayo but you know kahit hindi ako ganoon ka showy at kahit hindi ko sabihin sayo, I know in myself that I already love you Elmo”
“Ano ba naman kasing kasalanan nagawa mo, Elmo? Sa dami ba naman ng kasalanan, ‘yon pa?”
Minsan I doubt if I’m really smart or a good person. Why do I need to hurt the person who loved me the most?

Pumunta ako sa coffee shop malapit sa Ateneo and nakipagkita kay Lauren. First time namin na mag-uusap after what happened. Hindi siya makatingin ng diretso sa akin.
“E… Elmo, I’m sorry”
“Stop saying sorry. It won’t do anything. Nakipagkita ako because I want to say something.” She looked at me. “Yes, I don’t love you and it is clear that Julie is the one I love pero if ever na magkaroon tayo ng baby, I will take responsibility” she looked at me straight. “I at least wanted the baby to know that I’m his father pero ngayon habang wala pa namang ganoong nangyayari, I will do everything to make our relationship back pero sana this time Lo, I will beg to you. Don’t interfere to our relationship anymore kasi once na tuluyan na akong iwan ni Julie, it’s also like taking my life. That baby might be my new love but Julie will always be my world.”

Pumasok ako sa room for our PE. I was with Julian and Rain for the whole time. May announcement daw kaya pumasok muna kami sa loob ng room. I looked at Julie. She looks so sad and I feel so guilty.
“So guys, the reason why you are here is that within 3 days, we will have our seminar night. Alam niyo naman na every year, all subjects will be tackled in that night but not in a stressing way but in a fun way so if you are interested to join the sem night, register to your respective club presidents. Yun lang and you can now proceed to the gym for the P.E.”
Si Julie lang ‘yong tinitignan ko for my whole P.E. I miss her. I miss her so bad. Sana maging ok na kami. Sana maging ok na lahat.
Naglalaro kami ng basketball and I’m trying to get the ball nung pumasok na ‘yong mga girls doon. Hinagis ni Kris sa akin ‘yong bola pero hindi niya sa akin binato. What?
Tumingin ako sa direction nung ball at saktong papunta sa pwesto ni Julie.
“Julie!”
“3 points!”
Tumakbo ako para itulak si Julie para hindi siya matamaan nung bola pero natumba kami ng malakas at huminto kami sa paggulong at nakapatong ako sa kanya.
Our eyes met.
“Elmo-“
“Pwede ba na maging ok na tayo? Pwede bang give me one more chance?”
“But-“
“Because I think I deserve a second chance. I will wait for you. 8:00 pm, seminar night sa likod ng school. Kapag pumunta ka, we will make things right pero kapag hindi, sige. I will let you go.”
