CHAPTER 35: Frailty

.....continuation

[A/N: This is a phone conversation habang naka-tayo pa rin si Elmo sa may di kalayuan at naka-tingin pa rin sya kila Julie & Jeron.]

----------PHONE CONVERSATION----------

ELMO: where are you? (asked Julie on a serious whispering tone tila nagpipigil ng inis habang naka-tanaw kila Julie & Jeron)

JULIE: h—huh? a—ahhm... (napa-lunok sabay lumayo ng bahagya kay Jeron at tila inayos ang sarili) uhh, here. Home. (fakes a chuckle)

ELMO: ahh, (nods) did you have your dinner already? (tanong nyang naka-tanaw pa din sa dalawa)

JULIE: uhm, y—yeah. (nods) yeah. (another fake chuckle)

ELMO: where? (asked emotionless)

JULIE: (gasped) uhm, outside... uhm, a—at the mall.

ELMO: with whom?

JULIE: a friend? (tumingin kay Jeron)

ELMO: who? Maqui?

JULIE: uh, N—No... a... a new friend. new acquintance. (fakes a chuckle)

ELMO: a guy? (dryly asked)

JULIE: huh? uhm... (fakes a chuckle) haha uhm, how 'bout you? nag-dinner ka na ba? where were you? i haven't hear your presence this day. (fakes a chuckle) san ka ba kasi nag-susuo—

ELMO: Julie, is it a guy?

.....then Julie just went silent at naka-tingin kay Jeron habang si Jeron nama'y naka-tingin lang din kay Julie, and she just heard Elmo sighed.

ELMO: (sighed) got your answer. bye then. ----------END OF CONVERSATION

JULIE: Wait! Elmo Wai— (di na nya natuloy pa ang sasabihin nya dahil ibinaba na ni Elmo ang kabilang linya)

.....then right after that phone conversation, Elmo just get inside his car and drive himself home having a heavy heart. Ang sama at ang bigat ng loob nya.

Samantala, pagkatapos ng phone conversation nila Julie & Elmo ay tila naka-tingin pa rin itong si Jeron kay Julie na tila ba'y nag-aalala ito dahil kitang-kita nya sa mukha ni Julie ang pag-aalala habang kausap nito si Elmo... [SETTING: kakababa lang ni Julie ng cellphone nito matapos ang pag-uusap nila ni Elmo.]

JERON'S POV: Who's that Elmo guy? Is that the Quarterback Soccer Captain dude? UGH! D*mn that a**hole. don't tell me that's Julie's boyfriend? It can't be! i've got to do something! UGH!

.....natauhan lang si Jeron ng magsalita na si Julie

JULIE: uhm, Jeron, i think i should go inside. (weakly smiled) and you too, i think you should go home. so, ingat na lang ha. (weakly smiled)

.....saka tumalikod na si Julie kay Jeron at akmang papasok na sa gate nila ng biglang...

JERON: wait Julie! (hinapit ang isang kamay ni Julie at iniharap si Julie sa kanya na ikinagulat naman ni Julie)

.....napa-awang ang bibig ni Julie as she gasped sa gulat nya ng hapitin sya ni Jeron at tila napa-tingin ito sa kamay ni Jeron na naka-hawak sa kanyang kamay, kaya naman ng mapansin iyon ni Jeron ay agad namang binitawan ni Jeron ang pagkakahawak sa kamay ni Julie at tila parang naging 'AWKWARD' ang galaw nila sa isa't isa at napa-kamot na lang si Jeron sa batok nya.
