"Yes Elmo, kami na. So please." Julie. Anong kami na?
"W-what? what do you mean? Anong kayo na?" I asked. Sobrang litong-lito na ako.
"Ano bang hindi mo maintindihan, Elmo? Kami na! He's my boyfriend!" Julie shouted. No, this is not true.
"Boyfriend? Julie, what about us? Paano tayo?" I know right now, I'm on the edge of crying.
"Us? Walang tayo Elmo." That was the word I didn't expect to hear from her.
"Jules, babe, please tell me this is all just a joke. Please, tell me. Tell me na ako ang mahal mo. Paano tayo? I thought we're okay? Julie baby, please." wala na akong pake kung mukha akong kaawa awa dito.
"Again, there's nothing between us. So please, don't make this hard for you. May boyfriend na ako so let me go." Pilit siyang kumakawala sa yakap ko. No, hindi ko siya bibitawan. Alam ko, ako ang mahal niya.
"No...no...no... Thats not true, ako..ako ang mahal mo dba? Please, tell me kung anong kailangan kong gawin bawiin mo lang lahat ng sinabi mo, baby. I can't let you go. Mahal na mahal kita..." I sobbed. I'm kneeling in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Elmo but this is the beat for us. Goodbye" She let go and walk away.
"Julie! Julie! Baby!...Jul..."
"Moe! Elmo wake up!" I open my eyes and saw mom infront of me.
"Mom?" I blinked my eyes for a couple of times.
"Yes? You're dreaming. Are you okay?" So panaginip lang lahat ng yun? "Ano bang napanaginipan mo? You kept on repeating Julie's name."
"Mom, I can't lose her" Hindi ko talaga kaya. Kwinento ko kay mom ang napanaginipan ko.
"Sus, ang anak ko. Napaparanoid ka na naman sa napanood mo kagabi. Masyado kang affected" Mom said.
"You can't blame me, mom. It been how many weeks since I last saw her. Malay ko habang hindi kami magkasama may umaaligid na pala sa kanya, na may nanliligaw na pala sa kanya, na may pinapasok na siyang ibang lalaki sa buhay niya. Mom! you know naman na there's a lot of guys out there trying to get her attention." Srsly? Tinatawanan lang ako ni mom?
"You really are in love,son" Mom's smiling. "Halika nga dito, wala naman na akong masabi pa, hug na lang kita" Hahaha. We both laugh. That's Julie's line sa JOS. Mas lalo ko tuloy siyang namiss.
"Get up na. You have photoshoot today, then after that..."
"What?" Mom's giving me sheepish smile. "Don't tell me promo na naman?" Arghhh.
"Haha. Nah, that's all for today. You can go wherever you want."
"Really mom?" Is this even real? After how many weeks, makakagala din ako.
"Really. So, move. Its getting late."
"Thanks mom. Thank you" I hug and kiss her forehead. "I love you mom"
"I love you too son. See you downstairs"
I run toward the bathroom and freshen up my body. Iniisip ko pa rin yung napanaginipan ko. Ano kaya ibig sabihin non? Napaparanoid na ba talaga ako? Bakit kasi ganun sagot niya? Bakit kasi may private and respect pa siyang nalalaman? Argh, you're making me crazy again Julie Anne.
