Haay. Nakakairita. Dad arranged a marriage for me at sa Elmo pa na yun?! How great is that? Sa pagkadami-daming lalaki, why him? I was expecting for someone to replace Ken but I guess it won't happen at all. Maybe he's meant to be here, in my heart.
"Hija, it's 10 in the morning. Bangon na!"
"Yes dad. I'll be down in a minute" Okay. Ngayon ang alis ni dad at aalis na sila within 2 hours. Titira na ako kasama yang Elmo na yan and what now? He is my classmate, my worst enemy, my future so-called husband and my first kiss.
Ugggh! Why him? WHY?? Oh well. NEW LIFE. NEW MELANCHOLY.
Bumaba na ako pagkatapos kong ayusin yung sarili ko at nakita ko ang family ni Elmo sa living room namin. "Morning! Oh, Tita, Tito you're here" Sabay ngiti ko sa parents ni Elmo "At ikaw" Sabay irap ko kay Elmo.
"Hi. So you're Julie Anne? Ang first kiss ng kapatid ko" Sa tingin ko,yan yung ate ni Elmo. Pagkasabi nya nun, hinampas niya pa ang tummy ni Elmo. Natawa ako dun. Haha. Underdog nga naman.
"Anong tinatawa-tawa mo?" Inis na sabi sa akin ni Elmo. Napansin niya atang natawa ako doon sa ginawa ng ate niya.
"Ano ba Moe? Wala kang galang sa future wife mo! By the way I'm Maxene. Ate niya"
"I see. Nice meeting you ate Maxx" . Mabait ang ate nya. Makakasundo ko, ang problema lang naman talaga eh si Elmo. Napaka arogante. Grrr.
"Tara guys. Lets have breakfast" Tinawag kami ni Dad.
We all went to the dining area. Kaharap ko si Elmo, katabi nya si Ate Maxx, oh 'di ba feeling close? Haha.
"So hija, are you guys going to be okay here?" Tanong ng Mom ni Elmo.
Julie and Elmo:NO.
Sabay pa kaming sinabi yun.
"Why not guys? You are classmates and magka-team kayo noon 'di ba?"
Julie and Elmo:AYOKO SYA.

[ELMO]
Ano 'to? Nangagaya ba 'tong babaeng ito o nangiinis?"I think I smell love" Asar sa amin ni ate Maxx.
LOVE? WITH HER? NO WAY.
I guess.

Nakaka-irita talaga siya. Feel ko any minute sasabog na ako. Kung soccer ball lang ang ulo nya, kanina ko pa sinipa. Speaking of soccer dapat pupunta ako sa school ngayon for practices. Hapon lang klase namin ngayon eh, next week pa kasi regular classes. Pero magoorient na kami ng new soccer members. After eating, heto kami papunta sa airport para ihatid ang dad ko at ang family niya. Pwede bang isaksak na lang si Elmo sa maleta ng ate nya? Ugggh. We're here.
LIFE... WOULD IT BE SWEETER THAN THIS? Haay. Yeahh. Being sarcastic. Ha ha.
"Oh, anak take care of yourself okay? Huwag gimik ng gimik. Stay in the honor list. Behave. Take time to know Elmo. Tumawag ka if may problema sa pera, pagkain, school or needs ko" Sabi sa akin ni papa.
"Dad, I've heard that part like what? 15 times this year? I am going to be okay"
"Opo. We will be okay" Sumbat nitong si Elmo ang kapal. Umakbay pa! He is being a feeler again. Pigilan niyo ko!
"Please Julie, Elmo take care of yourselves and yes!" Lumingon lingon ang Mom ni Elmo tapos sabay-sabay silang nagsalita. "TAKE TIME TO LOVE EACH OTHER" So ano 'to? Prinactice pa nila ang sasabihin nila =__=
"Opo naman. In no time we will be okay, 'di ba Julie?" Elmo smiled. Yung smile na nakakaloko.
"Oo naman po. Don't worry guys, we will be okay" Nakisabay na lang ako sa kanya.
"Sige, mauuna na kami. Ingat kayo guys papuntang school"
"Yes ate. I'll miss you and your blabbing mouth. Haha." Bigla na lang umiyak si Ate Maxx nung niyakap sya ni Elmo. Halatang close sila. Mabait nga naman talaga si Elmo eh. Pero minsan nagiging arogante, at ang makapal ang mukha at basta!!
Nung nakapasok na sila ng airport, naglakad na kami pabalik ng car. Ang tahimik namin sobra. Lalo na si Elmo. First time kasi aalis ng ate niya ng 'di sya kasama. Wait! Why am I being nice to him? NO and NEVER will I be nice to him.
"Tara! Hatid na kita sa school" Offer sa akin ni Elmo.
"Wait! You have rules to follow" Aba siyempre may rules ako no. Whether he like it or not.
"ME? RULES? FOLLOW? You're-"
"I am not insane. First rule, you will never ever tell anyone about this. The marriage, house issue and all. Lahat dapat nito, walang makakaalam. Paano kung gusto mong mag-imbita ng friends sa house? NO and NEVER. Ako lang ang may karapatan mag-imbita sa house and yes! Rule 2, hinding-hindi dapat tayo makitang magkasama sa school and never ever talk to me pag hindi dapat. Text pa okay lang! Akin na phone mo"

[ELMO]
Binigay ko sa kanya ang phone ko, kumuha sya ng snapshot using my phone, saved her number! Kaya ako bilib dito sa babaeng 'to eh.
"Third rule, wala kang pake kung kailan ako uuwi at anong oras. Sa morning lang tayo magsasabay and thats it. GETS? "
"Ye-"
"OKAY GETS. Fourth rule, wala kang karapatan pagsabihan ako at pake-alaman ako. Yeah. You'll be my future husband if we work out. Pero as things go? This will work out... NOT! So huwag na tayo umasa please lang"
God, I had enough!
"Tapos ka na? Good. I agree with everything. And yes. Bakit ba ako aasa? This is just a waste of time. Basura lang lahat ng mangyayari until November. When they get home, we're done. And yeah we will always be enemies. Between us? Yeah. We will be NOT be lovers!
Shoot. Anong nasabi ko kay Julie? At Bakit parang nasaktan ako dun?
