"I need an explanation." Her mom said, still shocked at what she saw.

"Mom...what are you doing here? Akala ko po flight niyo na?"

"Yes but I forgot my passport. Teka bakit ako ang nage-explain? Bakit ganito ang nadatnan ko Julie Anne San Jose?"

"Ahh...Good evening po ma'am." Elmo greeted her mom.

"Shut up I don't want to talk to you. Julie an explanation? Dalian mo at baka mahuli ako sa flight ko."

"I've been seeing Elmo since after the Blinds mommy. We met sa New York last year."

"At ngayon mo lang balak sabihin sa akin ito? Nahuli ko pa kayo'ng dalawa? So kung hindi ko kayo nahuli, may balak ka bang sabihin ito sa akin?"

"Ye...yes mommy. Pero kasi I felt na hindi pa right time."

"Julie naman, I've told you a million times, hindi kita pinaghihigpitan pero sana maging honest ka sa akin."

"I'm really sorry mommy."

"Ah...ma'am I promise I won't hurt Julie po."

"Sinabi ko na ba na kausapin mo ako?"

"So...sorry po ma'am."

"Naku Julie Anne humanda ka sa kuya mo pag-uwi niya. And you mister, have you not thought of this a million times bago mo kitain ang anak ko? You are a celebrity, at coach pa sa The Voice. Haven't you thought of that? Ano na lang ang iisipin ng iba'ng tao?"

"Honestly po ma'am I don't really care of what will others say. I really like Julie po and I am willing to give up everything for her. I've lost her when we were in New York, hindi ko na po siya hahayaang makawala ulit sa piling ko. I am sorry po at naabutan niyo kami na ganito, but I am willing po na ipakilala yung sarili ko sa inyo, it's just Julie said hindi pa right time. I am sorry po if we, I, broke your trust. But I promise this would be the last time po. I will never hurt your daughter ma'am."

"Ang dami mo ng sinabi. Anyway I'll be getting my passport at pagkabalik ko galing sa US mag-uusap ulit tayo." She immediately left the two, leaving Elmo's mouth open.

"Huyy natulala ka lang diyan."

"I...was shocked with your mom. Hi...hindi ko nagets yung sinabi niya."

"Gwapo nga, slow naman." She whispered.

"What did you say?"

"Wala wala."

They stayed outside of the house hanggang sa lumabas ang mommy niya.

"Hindi mo ba papapasukin ang bisita mo sa loob Julie? Haven't we taught you how to treat guests?"

"Ee mommy naman kasi you came all mighty and strong tapos ngayon ganyan sasabihin mo." Her mom chuckled.

"Siyempre I had to put a strong face dahil baka masama ang intension nito sayo. And you mister, stop calling me ma'am. I need an apo na." Nagulat si Elmo sa sinabi nito, not sure how to comprehend.

"Call me tita. Ayusin mo yang anak ko ha? I'll leave you two kay RJ. Good luck." She chuckled and hugged Julie and waved the both of them goodbye again.

"Oh tulala ka na naman." They're now inside Julie's house.

"Kasi naman, your mom is...incredible? Unbelievable?"

"Weird?" Julie added. They both chuckled.

"Alam mo mommy's not that strict naman sa amin. In fact minamadali na niya akong mag-asawa because she's not getting any younger daw at ayaw niyang maghintay ng anak kay kuya dahil masyado silang busy ng ate sa business."
