Prologue
“Pagod na ko Julie.”
Tears started forming from her eyes as he said those words that she never thought he’d say. It never crossed her mind that he’s starting to feel this way.
Tired. Them. Her.
“E-elmo.” she stuttered as she swallowed the lump in her throat, trying to hold back the tears.
He immediately back off as she tried to touch him. It’s like he’s disgusted to her to the point that he doesn’t want to have any physical contact with her and he doesn’t like the thought of her being anywhere near him.
“E-elmo, please.” she pleaded. “Pag-usapan natin ‘to oh.”
“Umuwi ka na, gabi na.”
“Wag mo namang gawin sakin ‘to, Moe. Please.”
He turned his back to her and started to walk, leaving her on that crowded place.
She smiled bitterly as she thought of one thing.
So maybe this is what he felt when he watched me turned my back to him so many times.
