To MyLove
Hey love. I just had my dinner. Sorry I had my dinner late na. I was so tired from all the interviews the whole day. I hope you have had your dinner and please sober up. You know I don't want you to drink that often. I'm here for you 24/7 if you need someone to talk to. I miss you so bad, Elmo. I love you.
She bit the side of her lips before she burst into laughter, yung klase ng halakhak ni Julie na napaka contagious before she switched off her cell phone.
She hurriedly fixed the table and brought the plates in the sink. After washing the plates she went to the living room only to find Jac sleeping on their couch.
" Joanna, wake up Jac. Matulog na kayo. Ako na bahala dito."
Julie said and Joanna obliged,ginising si Jac and sabay na umakyat ng hagdan at pumunta na ng kani-kanilang kwarto para matulog.
A few moments later Julie was left alone in the living room, trying to look for a movie to watch but none got her interest so she switched off their 70" tv. After she checked every door was locked securely, she went to their mini bar and took one bottle of her favorite wine again and hurriedly ascended the stairs back to her room.
As soon as she entered her room she opened the wine bottle and poured herself a generous amount of wine on the wine glass. She took everything in one gulped before she slumped on her bed, stared at the ceiling for she didn't know how long…hindi maalis-alis sa isip niya si Elmo and how she would win him back.
She started talking as if Elmo could hear her.
" Oh Elmo… Elmo… Elmo. Why can't I seem to unlove you? You love me still, and I still do too. Bakit? Why did things seem so hard for us to get back together?"
'Lord, please naman don't make it harder for us to get back with each other. I know he's the one you want me to be with, you've given me the signs I asked so many times already… Lord, give me back Elmo, wag mo naman akong pahirapan ng ganito…ang hirap-hirap palambutin ng puso ni Moe. Am I this bad? (The tears spilled from her eyes and ran down her cheeks.) Please naman Lord, help me naman. I want to give up and let him be, but I can't, I really can't give him up! Ang tanga-tanga ko, ngayon ko lang na realize how empty my life is without him…I'm happy, but I'm happiest when I'm with him. Now I know my happiness is different from his. God! Please give Elmo back to me. "
Julie began to sob, burying her face in the pillow.
After a few minutes of crying and sobbing she jumped off her bed and took another glass full of wine before she grabbed her cell phone on the corner table beside the wine bottle.
She switched her cell phone on and made a decision…call Elmo in the middle of the night.
It took five long rings before Elmo answered her call.
" Ugh. Julie again?"
She heard Elmo murmuring.
" Hi. Moe? Can we talk?"
" Jul---Julie. T---talk? "
He answered in his drunk tone.
" You're drunk. Will you---"
"Why? W---why? Do---do you care?"
Elmo answered sarcastically.
" Of course. I do."
