"Mommy, what's with three luggage?" Julie just got home from work at nadatnan niya ang kanyang mommy na nagaayos ng mga maleta.
"It's my scheduled flight already Juls. I thought you were keeping track with my life." Her mom rolled her eyes. Aba, mataray ka rin mamsh ha? Her inner sense talking.
"I thought next month pa? Ngayon na talaga ma?"
"Your tita Agnes called. She wants me to be there before her operation. Alam mo naman kung gaano siya ka-clingy." Julie slowly nodded.
"Ee bakit ganito karami ang dala niyo? Parang lalayas na kayo ah." Her mom chuckled.
"I'll be staying there for one whole month. 'Di ba pinag-usapan na natin to last week? You weren't paying any attention pala." Her mom pouted. Julie immediately hugged her tight and realized her guilt.
"I'm so sorry mommy, I was just too preoccupied. Pero isang buwan talaga myy?" Her mom nodded.
"Bantayan mo yang si Joanna ha? Uuwi ang kuya RJ mo next week to look after you two."
"WHAT?! Akala ko ba busy siya sa Singapore?"
"I've talked to him last week, after we talked at willing naman siya to look after the two of you while I'm away. Na-miss na rin naman daw niya yung mga pasaway niyang kapatid." Julie rolled her eyes. Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa niya?
"You wont be able to watch me during battles." This time siya naman yung nag-pout. Her mommy gave her a quick hug.
"Stop pouting baby girl, I am so sorry. It was sudden din ee. I promise I'll come home before your live battles."
"Wow mommy how sure are you na makakapasok ako sa live ha?"
"I've known you since you were a kid, at alam ko na magaling ka. Just know that I'll be with you in spirit kahit nasa US ako." Her mom smiled. Ano pa nga ba ulit ang kanyang magagawa?
"Ihahatid ko na kayo sa airport. I'll just take my dinner and a shower."
"Shh Juls okay na, magpapahatid na lang ako kay Mang Cardo."
"Sure kayo? I can drop you off naman."
"Don't bother Juls, tsaka you look tired." She gave her mom a hug at nagpaalam na rin. "I'll miss you mommy." "OA mo Juls, may facetime okay?" Wow bagets ang mommy.
...
"Hey what's up?"
"Wala naman, I just want someone whom I can talk to."
"Miss mo lang ako ee."
"Shut up Moe." She rolled her eyes, as if he could see it from the other line.
"What's bothering you ba? Talk to me."
"Wala naman, mom's on her way to US. She'll be there for a month."
"Aww, for sure you'll gonna miss her."
"Yeah. I mean this would be the first time na hindi ko siya makakasama for a month."
"Aww, I wish I could hug you. Namimiss na rin kita."
"Ikaw Magalona basta maisingit yung harot mo ee no? Wala lang I'll just miss her."
"Ee yun lang ba yung nagbobother sa iyo?"
"Meron pang isa." She bit her lower lip.
"What? Tell me Juls."
"My brother is going home from Singapore. He'll look after us for a month habang wala si mommy."
"You have a brother?"
"Yeah, panganay namin."
"Oh ee bakit ka nabobother sa pag-uwi niya?"
"Moe, sobrang strict nun! We can't see each other kapag nandito siya. Sobrang daming connections, at mas daig pa niya yung fans mo kung makapag-SOCO." She heard Elmo chuckle from the other line.
"Problema ba yun? Ee di ipapaalam na lang kita. At least hindi siya maga-alala."
"Moe don't! Mapapatay ka nun for sure."
"Huwag ka ng mag-alala okay? I can handle him. I promise." She just rolled her eyes.
"Ayun lang ba yung nagbobother sa'yo? Ako kasi may nagbobother din sa akin." He said.
"Ano naman?"
"I am seriously missing you Juls."
"Hoy kalalabas lang natin last Friday night, napahamak pa ako sa mga pakulo mo."
"Nagustuhan mo naman ee, dami mo ngang trip that night." She felt him grin on the other line at mas lalo siyang namula ng maalala niya yung mga pinaggagawa nila.
"Shut up kasi Moe, I told you to not bring-up those stuffs." She irritatingly said. Gustong gusto mo naman maalala dami mong alam. Her inner self talking to her. She heard him let out a loud cackle over the other line.
"Tara? Let's go out tonight. Sunduin kita."
"Moe, kaaalis lang ng mommy. Respeto naman di ba?"
"But I miss you already. Ipapaalam na lang kita kay Joana."
"Hoy huwag, baka mahimatay yun kapag makita ka niya. Idol ka rin nun ee. Ano ba kasi'ng meron sayo at maraming nagkakandarapa sayo?"
"Apparently I'm handsome, macho, cute, at magaling kumanta."
"Ang presko mo huy."
"Bakit hindi ba totoo?" Julie bit her lower lip at what he said.
"Hindi."
"Aba, humanda ka sa akin Miss Julie Anne San Jose. Papunta na ako."
"Hoy! Magalona ha umayos ka kapag ikaw nakita ng kapatid ko malalagot ako sa buong angkan namin. Moe! Moe!" But he already ended the call.
Julie stared at her phone smiling while biting her lower lip again. What would she do? She has to just meet Moe outside of their house dahil baka magising pa si Joana, or mapansin ang mga kababalaghan na magaganap.
After 30 minutes, she heard a doorbell. Shit please no. Please tell me he's just joking.
She's hesitant in opening their gate, siyempre hindi niya alam kung ano ang magiging reaction niya. She went near it para maaninag kung sino yung nagdoor bell at hindi siya nagkamali ng hula. There he is, Elmo Magalona in his most handsome state, proving his self to Julie.
"Hoy ano'ng ginagawa mo dito? Pumasok ka nga baka mamaya may mga fans ka na nakaabang diyan sa labas baka iba pa isipin." Julie immediately opened their gate para makapasok pati yung sasakyan ni Elmo.
"Nasa QC ka lang ba? Ang bilis mo naman." He nodded.
"So? Tell me hindi ako gwapo, macho, at magaling kumanta." He said while getting nearer and nearer to Julie. Julie is stepping back para umiwas sa hot appeal ni Elmo dahil baka hindi ito makapagpigil at sunggaban siya agad.
"Elmo stop moving."
"This is news. You always say keep moving whenever we are in bed." He's talking sexy and Julie can't help but swallow her own saliva from what she heard.
"I...I told you not to bringup that...that one."
"Oh nasaan na yung matapang na Julie Anne sa phone? Why are you weak in person? Tell me hindi ako gwapo." He's still walking towards her and she's stepping back, slowly.
They both jumped to their senses when a car stopped and beeped at them.
"Julie? And...You are coach Elmo right?" Her mom was shocked at what she saw when she went out of the car.
"Mo...Mommy?!"
