Elmo's POV

It's been a week after makita namin si Lo sa mall. May boyfriend na rin sya, foreigner. Somehow, naging crush ko rin sya dati kaso mas una kong nakilala at madalas na kasama si Julie.

Flashback

"Lauren?" Gulat na sabi ni Julie. "Lo, ka-kamusta ka na?" Agad ko syang bineso. Medyo hesitant pa sya nung una, nakipag beso ako kahit Pilit.

Tumayo na sya at kinausap si Julie. "Hello." Tipid na tugon nya. "Ang sweet nyo naman. Since highschool, Di na kayo nahiwalay. You've been inseparable."she said weekly. Pinagsisihan nya Yung time na Di pa close sila Julie and Moe. Wala syang nagawa pa. They were known as the popular ones in CSB.Si Moe, MVP at Hunk/Campus Crush sa basketball since highschool. While Julie, is the Crush ng Bayan/ Campus Crush and one of the Queen Bees sa University. Maraming humahanga at nainggit sa kanila at kabilang sya don.

"Lo sorry. We have to go." Awat ni elmo.

"Moe teka-"

"No more buts. Marami pa tayong pupuntahan. I need to go back sa office." Seryosong sagot nya. He looked at Lauren and you can see the weakness in her eyes.

They were about to leave when- "wait Lang. Lo, I want you to come sa wedding namin. I'll give the invite to ate Saab sya na magbibigay sayo."

"Nako wag na. Nakakahiya naman."

"No okay lang. I want you to be there-"she looked at her fiancé . "Moe has nothing to do with it. I request you talaga na pumunta. Sige na please."

"Pero Japs-"

"Sige na please Lo. No issue sa kin ang pag invite sayo." Begs once more.

A moment of silence. Naisip nya rin na magandang makapunta sya. Pero he'll see him happy to be tied with her. Masasaktan sya."okay. Pupunta ako. At magvovolunteer akong ninang ng babies nyo."

"No!"

"Moe ano ka ba? Pwede mag move on na tayo sa mga nangyari."

"But the thing is, Wala akong tiwala sa babaeng yan! I know Yung pagpayag nya may katumbas na revenge."

Napayuko si Lauren. She didn't mean to. "Julie. I-i think tama si moe. I shouldn't accept this."

"Lo, tapos na yun. Let's just move forward and live in peace. Tanggapin mo na Lo."

"Salamat Julie." She hugged her. She was sorry sa mga nangyari dati. Umalis na sila julie."
