Linggo ng umaga si Elmo na ang naghatid kay Julie sa GMA dahil nga doon muna siya natutulog sa bahay ng dalaga dahil sa voice lesseon nila, hindi naman tumutol ang mga magulang ng dalaga dahil maayos namang nagpaalam ang dalawa.

"Love are you nervous?" tanong ni Elmo nang mahalatang hindi mapakali ito sa passenger seat.

"Yeah love... First time kasi uli i'll perform live."

"Really? C'mon... I know you love... performing live ba talaga or the upclose and personal after AOS?"

"Hahaha tsk... You really know me eh noh? Wala talaga akong kawala sayo love. Kasi nga di ba? It's been seven years i haven't seen them... Ikaw nga even we're secretly seeing each other for the past years and fresh pa last year, it's parang last 2015 pa rin the last time we meet eh."

" I'm sorry love, kasi i was too determined to just forget you and ignore the feelings because ayaw mo din naman. But of course even how much i tried, wala eh... Ikaw lang talaga... Babalik at babalik pa rin pala ako, no matter what."

" Ako din naman ah... But last year was the painful one... When you erased all my pictures in your ig, and those pictures i know i'm the one who took it... After you told me na you want to start clean with your ex, and you want your relationship to last... the realization of losing you for real sobrang sakit, ang sakit-sakit."

Biglang parang na picture out ni Elmo ang dinanas ni Julie nang araw na yun dahil talagang pinanindigan niya ang desisyon niya... Hininto niya muna ang kotse sa gilid...tinanggal niya ang seatbelt niya at tumagilid siya para yakapin ang dalaga.

" I'm so sorry baby, i'm really sorry." hindi mapigilan ni Elmo ang maluha.

"Hey..." niyakap niya din ang binata nang mahigpit.

"Love, i'm okay now... i have you back na. That's all in the past na and we have the rest of lives to make it up, di ba? I was the one who hurt you the most, and last year it was all because of me rin so don't... you said you're never let me go ever again.. So do i Elmo... I will never, let you go ever again. I love so much Elmo." she never let him speak, she closed her eyes... cupped his face and kissed him with all the love she could impart from her soul.

They were heavily breathing after the kiss.

" I love you Julie Anne. I will never hurt you ever again. I love you." he kissed her again before he took the wheel and drive again. Pagkatapos ng ilang minutong drama nila sa daan, medyo kumalma na rin si Julie.

"Love, balikan na lang kita after ng show niyo ha... i'm going to get some clothes sa condo muna."

"Okay love. I'll call you if were about to finish na, sabay na tayo lunch ha."

"Okay love. Now make me proud, bring the house down love. But bawal clumsy ha."

"Hahaha Okay po. You drive safely ha, Elmo. Bawal kaskasero."

"Okay... noted sweetheart."

Hinatid siya ni Elmo sa harap ng elevator, they kissed when they found out that they're alone in the basement.

Bago mag alas singko ng hapon nasa loob ng loob ng simbahan ng Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage ng chapel ng village sina Julie at Elmo, nagsimba muna sila bago pumunta sa ancestral house ng mga Magalona. At habang nasa loob ng simbahan sobrang kinakabahan na si Julie. Naramdaman naman iyon ng binata dahil nanlalamig ang kamay niya. Panay naman ang paghalik ni Elmo sa ulo ng dalaga.

"Love, you okay? Don't be nervous... You have nothing to worry, okay? Just prepare yourself sa sigaw mamaya nila Clara, and their tight hugs." pabulong na sabi ng binata sa kanya habang hinigpitan ang hawak sa kamay niya. Marami ang nakakita sa kanila at siguradong kilala ng mga ito si Elmo, kahit si Julie dahil ilang beses din itong kasama ng binata noon na magsimba. Wala naman ni isang kumuha ng picture o video, kahit papano panatag ang binata dahil pinahahalagahan at mataas ang respeto sa kabila ng mga tao sa village nila.
