I think half an hour already passed and we're still on the same position
Naghalo na ang pawis sa likuran ko at luha niya. My tears are still streaming down my face at hindi ko alam ang kay Elmo
Tinry kong tanggalin ang kamay niya na nakapalupot sa bewang ko, but every time I would try, mas hinihigpitan niya lang ang yakap niya
"Elmo.."
"Please no. If we have to talk like this, then let's talk like this. Please hear my side on this, baby"
My heart melted. Who am I kidding, my heart still screams for this guy behind me
I didn't answer. Pinapakiramdaman ko lang siya. All the stress about the company and this are all mixed up. The only source of happiness I have right now is the two
"Moe please" I pleaded. Tinry ko ulit tanggalin ang kamay niya, pero mas lalo lang humigpit. It's not suffocating though. In fact, I feel at home. I feel like this is where I belong. That my body has been longing for this
"No. Not this time. Not anymore, Julie" he took one hand off, I'm guessing to wipe his face off so I took the chance to leave, pero sobrang lakas ng right hand niya
"I just want to stand up. I really need to go to the washroom" I need to excuse myself. I probably look like a mess right now
Naging stiff ang katawan niya, I guess he wasn't expecting that. Akala ko hindi niya ako il-let go, but he did. I grabbed my phone too, I need to text the two dahil kanina ko pa nakikita ang pag ilaw ng cellphone ko
I stood up, without looking at him and made my way to the washroom
And I was right, pagtingin ko sa mirror, I look like shit. Gosh. Naghilamos ako at nag retouch. Mabuti nalang at iniiwan ko ang make-up kit ko dito sa washroom, hindi sa table ko
Before going out, nakita ko ang mga mensahe from Zeke, Karl, at Joshua
I first opened Zeke's. Mukhang gamit na niya ang iPad niya this time
From Baby:
Mom, where are you na? Have you eaten? 😌😩
The message was sent twenty minutes ago and ten more messages with two minutes interval for each that says the similar thing. I smiled at the thought of him pouting right now
I quickly typed a message
To Baby:
Yes I have eaten. I'm still at work. Have you guys eaten?
Then I opened Karl's message
From Karl:
Babes, when are you coming to see us? Nagtatampo daw si Charlie (sabi niya wag ko daw sabihin sayo) I'm still off at work. I hope to see you before I get back to work
Naku, nag iinarte nanaman pala si Charlotta. This is why I love my friends. They can lift me up without them even trying
To Karl:
Soon, babes. I just have a problem at work. No biggie though. I'll try my best to see you by this week
Then I opened Joshua's. Naalala ko pala na baka umuwi na yun dahil may usapan kami
From Baby Brother:
Ate, I hope to see you tonight. Ingat sa pag drive. I love you
Kumunot ang noo ko. Hindi ba uuwi si Jona at mukhang ako pa talaga ang gusto nitong kausapin. You see, kaming tatlo, we're open about everything. Kaya nga alam nila ang plano ko. Kaya alam nila kung sino ang tatay nung dalawa, but I noticed that these days nagiging secretive na si Jona
I typed a message
To Baby Brother:
Yes, I'll see you. Don't stress too much okay? Love you too
