Hidden Truth (JuliElmo) [HIATUS]

Chapter 2: Is it really Their First Encounter?

Maagang dumating si Elmo at Sam sa opisina at naghanda na para sa meeting nila mamaya for the new VP of the company.

Elmo is wearing a simple black coat with a blue polo inside.

“Bro may kukunin lang ako kay Lyka ha.” Paalam ni Elmo.

“Sige basta bumalik ka agad. Baka dumating na yun”.sagot ni Sam.

*****

“Grabe naman ang traffic.Malelate na tayo.”

Alalang-alala si Maqui dahil may importante silang lakad ngayon at hindi sila dapat malate.

“Grabe ka naman Maq. Ang aga pa oh. 30 minutes pa naman and I’m sure aabot naman tayo. Diba kuya?” sabay tingin sa driver habang medyo natatawa sa pagkataranta ng kapatid.

“Opo ma’am malapit na po tayo.” Magalang na sagot naman ng driver.

”See.I told you.” confident na sabi ni Julie

”K fine. Pakibilisan naman po ng konti manong!” Maqui

“Ang Kulit mo Maq.”

Matapos ang ilang oras na biyahe nakarating na rin sila sa dapat nilang puntahan.

They are now in front of a big company building owned by their mother and its business partner.

Julie Anne will be working here as their new VP together with their president whom is the son of their business partner.

Pagkarating nila sa conference room they were informed na the meeting will start in 10 minutes.

“Maq. Cr lang ako.”paalam ni Julie.

“Sure, bilisan mo. Be here before it starts.” bilin ni Maqui sa kapatid.

“Sure Frencheska!I promise!”

*****

“Salamat Lyka.”

Agad na kinuha ni Elmo ang ilang importanteng papeles sa kanyang secretary.

“No problem sir.” sagot naman ng sekretarya niya.

Agad na umalis si Elmo para pumunta sa meeting dahil baka naghihintay na sila doon.

But suddenly, he bumped to a beautiful lady.  

“Ouch!”

 “I’m sorry miss.”  tulirong sabi ni Elmo.

“Hindi kasi tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo eh!” sigaw nito sa kanya.

“I said I’m sorry okay? What do you want?” medyo napipigil-ng-inis na sagot ni Elmo. Masyado pang maaga para makipag-away. Bakit ba kasi ang init ng ulo ng babaeng ito?

“K Fine. Next time be careful. You’re so clumsy” mataray na sabi nung babae

“What? Clumsy? Excuse me you were the one who bumped in me!”

“Of course not!”

 “Yes, you are!”

 “Well, I don’t care.” mataray ulit na sabi ng babae.

Matapos nun ay agad ng umalis ang babae ng hindi man lang nagpapakilala.

“Sandali, I’m—“

Napailing na lang si Elmo sa inasal ng babae.

“Sayang magnda pa naman…And she looks like…Arrrrgggghhhhh....Ano ba yan Elmo impossible yun!”

*****

“Bad Trip!” pagdadabog ni Julie habang papaupo sa tabi Maqui.

“Oh anung nangyari sayo?”

”Wala!”

”Pwede ba yun? Eh bad trip na bad trip ka diyan eh!”

“Wala ito! Naiinis lang ako sa nakabunggo sa akin. Ang yabang!”

”Easy sis.” pag-kalma ni Maqui sa nag-aalburuto niyang kapatid.

Mamaya-maya pa ay dumating na daw ang president ng company.

“Miss  San Jose nandito na po siya.” that was Sam.

“Alright!” sagot naman ni Julie.

Pagkapasok ng president ng kompanya…

“IKAW?” sabay na sabi ni Julie at ni Elmo.

Elmo was the president of the SJMC company (A/N:Gawa-gawa ko lang po yan. Halata naman!) and Julie was assigned to be the VP.

“Anung ginagawa mo dito?” inis na tanung ni Julie.

“Ikaw anung ginagawa mo dito?  Ako lang naman ang president ng company na ito.” Pagmamayabang naman ni Elmo.

“What?! Ikaw ang president sa itsura mong 'yan? Mukha kang highschool na walang gagawing matino sa buhay niya e.” dire-direstsong sabi ni Julie.

"Julie! Stop that!" pag-saway ni Maqui sa kanyang kapatid.

“Teka, magkakilala kayo?"sabat  naman ni Sam.

“Oo eto young maarteng babae na nakabangga ko." sagot naman ni Elmo na tuluyan nang nainis sa mga pinagsasasabi ni Julie.

 “Excuse me hindi ako maarte mayabang ka lang." pag-depensa ni Julie sa sarili.

“Elmo, stop it.” pagpigil ni Sam sa kapatid.

 “E-e-e-elmo?”

“Yes? Any problem with me?”

 “What is your full name?" out of the blue na tanung ni Julie

 “And why do you want to know?” takang sagot naman ni Elmo

“Answer me!" nagulat sila sa biglang pagsigaw ulit ni Julie. Sure, kanina pa uto sumisigaw pero nag-iba bigla ang aura nito. Nakakatakot.

“Okay, I’m Elmo Moses Arroyo Magalona. Happy?”

At the back of their minds Julie thinks that it not be possible.

(A/N: This mark ->  ...   means na it's their POV. :D )

...Hindi pwede, hindi ako papayag!How foolish I am! Hindi ko agad naisip yun! I don't even think it is possible!

While Elmo on the other hand is confused with the reaction and questions of Julie Anne.

... Why she is acting like that? This girl is very mysterious!

“Are you two gonna stare at each other the whole meeting? Just tell us ng makalabas na kami at maituloy niyo na 'yang 'meeting' niyo.” Maqui said with teasing tone which made Elmo and Julie realizes that they are still staring at each other.

"I’m sorry let’s just start the meeting.” Julie immediately said upon realizing it.

The whole meeting Elmo can’t take away his eyes in Julie. He feels something strange while looking at her.

“She is really beautiful and she really looks like…Argghhh..Elmo stop thinking her. It’s almost four years since you last saw her.” Elmo said softly trying to take back his eyes from Julie.
