(ELMO’s POV)
It has been two months since I met Anne, Julie Anne. Yes it feels odd that her first name is Julie but it doesn’t matter. We get closer and closer to each other every single day and I’m thankful for that. Things I know about her? I know that her parents are divorced. Yes, divorced, sa US kasi nagpakasal ang parents niya. Basically, pareho kami, ever since we were kids, lagi kaming loner. I mean we’re not pushed away, we just choose to stay away. I know she can sing. I know her favorite color is orange, I know she’s MACHO, well she insists that she is so let’s just leave it that way. She can play almost all instruments. And you know what’s the biggest thing I know about her?................................ I know that right now? At this moment? …..I know I love her but… she still doesn’t know anything about that so you guys better keep your mouth shut!
Japs: Hoy! Lalim ata nang iniisip natin?
As I heard her voice, lumingon agad ako. Looking at her right now? Two months is such a short time to define how huge the change is. From the very first day? She changed so much like she’s not even her anymore. She grows more and more beautiful everyday pero sabi ni Ate Maxx sa akin? Ako lang daw nakakakita nun.
Japs: Hoy!
Elmo: Ha?
Japs: Tamoto! Kinakausap kita eh, ano ba kasi yung iniisip mo?
“Ikaw”
Elmo: Ha? Wala… Iniisip ko lang kung paano gawin yung homework ko
Japs: Homework? Sabi mo kanina wala kang homework?
Meron… Iniisip ko kung paano ko sasabihing “Mahal kita”
Elmo: Ahm, for tomorrow wala, pang next week pa
Japs: Ang weird mo, nagshashake boses mo. Kinakabahan ka ba?
Shoot! Masyadong halata!
Elmo: medyo eh, di ko kasi masyadong naintindihan yung lecture kanina sa psychology eh, medyo mahilig pa naman magbigay ng surprise exams yun
Babaw Moe! Sana maniwala…
Japs: Seriously? Yun na problema mo? Come on Moe! I know you, what is it
I knew it!
Elmo: seryoso, yun lang talaga
Japs: First time mo atang hindi nakaintindi ng lecture? Pero sige, tulungan kita sa bahay mamaya
Elmo: Di wag na, ako na bahala, self study na lang
Pag ikaw ang nagturo bako mas lalong mawala laman ng utak ko trying to remember every move you make.
Japs: Okay, basta punta ka na lang if ever you need help with it
Elmo: okay (sabay ngiti)
Guy: Anne!
I looked over where the voice was coming and I saw a guy with a bouquet of flowers.
Guy: Hi Anne, busy ka ba?
Japs: ahm bakit?
Guy: yayayain sana kita to dinner eh, okay lang ba?
I hate being in this situation
Elmo: Ahm Macho, turuan mo na lang pala ako, may mga parts palang di ko talaga kaya.
