Born For You

Tenth

Elmo's

.................

*Kriiiiingggg*

Ughh sino ba to? Di ba nila alam na puyat ako?

*Kriiiinnggg*

Fuck it! "Hello? Sino to?" I asked.

"Damn Elmo! It's 10 AM and you're not yet here. May board meeting tayo ng 11. Wake your ass now!" It was Gab or should I say, Kuya Gab.

"Fine fine. I'll be there in 30." sabi ko.

"Good that! Faster!" he shouted. I end the call.

Badtrip naman oh? Maghahalikan na kami ni Juju ee.

Wondering who's Juju? Juju's my childhood friend, and probably my last girl. I promise to marry her pag nagkita kami. I can still remember when I went to their house and it's my first time. I was astonished by how big their house was and I believe it's still as big as before. Ughh, I just miss her face even if she's not that familiar already. I mean, she had her puberty age and so am I and definitely her face changed.

I was stuttered when my phone vibrated. It was Gab.

"Where the hell are you now Elmo? Ang tagal mo!" he shouted. I hate how he shouts, di naman siya ganun affected kung sakaling late ako ee.

"I'm near. Just wait for me okay?" I answered.

Sumakay na ako sa kotse ko and then left the building. I know this will be another "Sermon-day" for me.

I hurried as I run the corridor of our first-floor. I just hope di ako late or else pangit nanaman image ko sa board of directors.

Nag elevator ako then stopped at 7th floor where the Board meeting is located. I entered and everyone looked at me. "Ahh, sorry I'm late." was all I said. Fuck it. Why do I keep on asking for forgiveness, ee saamin din naman tong company. It just doesn't make any sense.

"You're late Elmo. AGAIN!" dad shouted. Ughhhh.

"Okay going back, our company reached its highest peak of success." dad continued his explantion.

It was boring, the meeting was boring.

"So how's the board meeting bro?" Kristof asked. I'm with them at a coffee shop.

"Pshh, it was boring as usual. Wala na silang ginawang maganda sa meeting." I said.

"Maganda? Like what? A lady?" asked Mikko.

"Bobo ka talaga Mikko!" sigaw ko. Tumawa naman si Kristof.

"Geezzz sorry okay?" Mikko said while laughing.

"Maganda like the girl you bumped at the bar?" Kristof.

"Yeah, that girl, kaso kung di lang siya OA niligawan ko na." I said. "Wait, she's here." I added.

"What? Who?" Mikko asked.

"The girl." I said. Nagets naman na ni Kristof. Si Mikko? Wala ng pag-asa.

"She is really beautiful." Kristof said. Shet he's correct but no, I still hate her.

"Yeah she is." I said.

"So what's the plan?" Mikko asked.

"Nothing. Punta tayong Starbucks. I prefer their coffee than here." sabi ko.

"Umiiwas ka ba par?" Mikko said.

"Of course not!" I shouted

"Sus. Par babae lang yan okay? Wag kang matakot." sabi ni Kristof sabay tawa.

"Gago! Sa dami na ng naikama ko, bakit ako matatakot?" I confidently said.

"Mas gago ka pare!" sabi nung dalawa sabay halakhak.

"Pshh" was all I said.

"O ano? Pupunta pa ba tayong SB?" Kristof asked. Umiling naman ako. "Good." the two said.
