Worth The Wait

Chapter 44

The day of the reunion..

4PM nang magsimulang maghanda si Julie.

Julie: Moe, okay na ba tong suot ko?

Elmo: You look perfect babe.

Julie: Talaga ba? Baka mamaya magmukha akong manang dun sa party eh. (pouts)

Elmo: (kisses Julie's forehead) You look totally hot, ano ka ba? You are the most gorgeous woman I know, hindi dahil asawa na kita ha. Gorgeous ka naman kasi talaga ever since, kahit pa nakapambahay ka.

Julie: Alam mo, ika Magalona, puro ka bola eh. Kaya lagi akong nahuhulog sayo. Ewan ko sayo. Tara na nga. Haha!

They head off to the venue and after 35mins, they finally arrived.

Organizer: Julie?! Oh my gosh, is that you? Long time no see.

Julie: Kara! Oo nga eh.

Kara: Since grad, di ka na nagpakita ah.

Julie: Oo nga eh, di na'ko nakauwi. Alam mo na, nung nagkasakit si mama medyo naging financially unstable. Oh, by the way, this is my husband, Elmo. Moe, this is Kara. Bestfriend ko nung elememtary.

Elmo: Nice to meet you, Kara. (offers a handshake)

Kara: Hi, Elmo. Nice to finally meet you, and welcome. (accepts handshake)

Elmo: Ah, babe, I'll just go to the CR for a while ha.

Julie: Sure, go ahead. Andun oh (points out to where the cr is)

Kara: *whispering* Buti nalang dinala mo asawa mo, kanina ka pa hinahanap nung ex mo dun sa loob.

Julie: Bakit naman daw?

Kara: Ewan ko. (nakita si Alden na papalapit sa kinatatayuan nila ni Julie) Speaking of the devil. (siniko si Julie)

Alden: Hi Kara.

Kara: Hello.

Alden: Hi, Julie. (sabay pa-cute na ngiti)

Julie: Hello. (sarcastic smile)

Alden: How have you been?

Julie: Good. Very good.

Alden: I missed you.

Julie: I don't. So will you please, stay away from me?! (walks away)

Pagkaalis ni Julie ay nakasalubong nya si Elmo. At napansin nitong medyo nawalan ng gana si Julie.

Elmo: Babe, what's wrong?

Julie: Si Alden, nilapitan ako kanina.

Elmo: And? What did he do?

Julie: Wala naman. Sinabi nya namiss nya ako.

Elmo: Do you want me to talk to him?

Julie: No need babe, I told him to stay away from me. Pero promise me one thing tonight.

Elmo: Sure. What will it be?

Julie: Kapag nakita mong papalapit sya sa'kin o sa'tin, please do what you have to do. Tapos umalis na tayo.

Elmo: Kahit pa di mo yan sabihin, I'll still do it for you. I won't let him ruin you again. I won't let him ruin us. (hugs and kisses Julie)

Julie: Thank you, babe. I love you.

Elmo: I love you more. Let's go inside na.

Pumasok na sa loob ang mag-asawa at in-enjoy ang party.
