ELMO'S POINT OF VIEW:
"Son have you seen the news already?" Mom asked me when I got down the stairs and into the dining to eat breakfast.
"No Mom, bakit ano meron?" I asked while putting rice and bacon on my plate.
"Janella released a statement about you and Julie." Mom said.
"What?" I said with a frown on my face.
"Moe expect reporters waiting for you when you go to work." Mom said.
I took a deep sigh, here we go again...
"Talk to Julie na din Elmo para iisa lang ang mga magiging sagot niyo sa press." Mom added.
"Yes mom I'll call her before I head to work." I said and took a spoonful.
"I have a bad feeling about Janella anak, Be careful na lang, kayo ni Julie okay?" Mom said.
I just nodded, finished my food and called Julie.
"Hello Love Good morning..."
"Good morning to you too Moe..."
"Napatawag ka?"
"Love have you heard or watched the news?"
"No I haven't anong meron?"
"Love wag ka magugulat kung sasalubungin ka ng reporters pagdating mo ng ABS..."
she will be taping for myx today kaya sa ABS siya...
"Huh? Why?"
"Love Janella released a statment saying na we are dating..."
"What?! Ano na gagawin natin?"
"Sabi ni mom kausapin daw kita about this...so should we keep it lowkey or you know admit it?"
"Babe let's keep it lowkey muna kasi we are facing so much issues right now..."
"I don't want you to get in trouble again babe, pag inamin natin Babe I'm sure Ben would make a buzz about what happened between you and him..."
"I understand love and thank you for considering my situation..."
"And I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess."
"Baby you don't need to say sorry okay? I chose to be in this situation with you so we will face this together okay?"
"I'm really lucky to have you by my side.."
"babe we are both lucky to have each other by each other's sides."
"I'm thankful that we were given another chance, Love..."
"Ay nako Elmo nagiging madrama na tayo.." she chuckled.
I laughed.
"Sige na Moe I'm gonna prepare for work na see you when I see you?"
"I'm going na din since di naman ako nakapagrehearse kahapon." I said and laughed.
"I'll see you Love, ingat ka I love you..." I added.
"Ingat din Moe..." she said before ending the call.
"Mom nakausap ko na si Julie..." I said when I got back in the dining.
"Oh what did she say?" Mom asked.
"She told me na lowkey daw muna kami since there are still unresolved issues on both my part and her part." I answered and got a glass of water.
"Anak tama naman si Julie you should fix your issues before you guys admit to the public na you guys are dating..." Mom said.
"Son everything will be better soon, Just trust the process..." She said and gave me an assuring smile.
"Thank you mom." I said and gave her a smile as well.
"Sige na son you go na you might be late for your rehearsals." She said.
"Mom I'll go na I'll see you later..." I said and kissed her cheek before I head out our house.
--
I sighed, wala na ba talagang katapusan tong mga issues na to? I'm so sick and tired of facing this reporters.
I had no choice but to get out of my car and face this reporters...
"Elmo is it true that you and Julie are dating? Eh diba Ben is still trying to win her back?" A reporter asked as soon as I stepped in the lobby.
"Me and Julie haven't really talked di pa po ulit kami nagkikita talaga and I really don't know what's happening between her and Ben pero I heard na they broke up..." I answered paulit ulit na lang tong tanong ng mga reporters and paulit ulit na lang din yung sagot ko di ba sila nagsaswa, I secretly rolled my eyes.
"Bakit sabi ng former loveteam mo/ ex mo na si Janella na she saw you and Julie daw dating on one of the branches of your restuarant sa Milky and Sunny?" Another reporter butted in.
"She must have mistaken my staff as Julie when she dropped by one of my branches that night..." I answered.
"So you are saying that Janella gave us a false statement yesterday?" A reporter asked.
"Uhm...Yes kasi di naman talaga kami nag kita ni Julie..." I said.
"Your ex loveteam also states that Julie is the reason kung bakit di kayo magkabalikan, how true is that?" A reporter asked again.
"Uhm No...And pano magiging dahilan si Julie kung in the first place di naman kami nagkikita o nagkakausap man lang." I answered a bit irritated.
"So what's stopping you from getting back together then?" A reporter asked.
"We both have personal issues that we need to fix ourselves so I think it's not a good time for the both of us to fix what we have way back..." I answered.
"So you have plans of getting back with Janella?" the reporter asked as a follow up question.
"Uhm for now all I know is that I'm happy on what I have right now..." I answered.
"Elmo ano masasabi mo dun sa kumakalat na video niyo ni Janella na nagaaway na para bang nagkakasakitan na kayo?" A reporter asked.
"I'd rather not comment on that that talk was too personal..." I said.
"she stated on an interview yesterday na sinasaktan mo daw siya kaya ka niya nasaktan din? Is that true?" someone asked.
"Uhm we were only talking then suddenly she burst out and attacked me." I answered honestly.
That girl, di talaga siya napapagod sa pagsisinungaling sa press.
"So di mo talaga sinaktan? during that talk?" a follow up question was asked by the same reporter.
"I never really hurt Janella, I never laid a hand on her and I would never hurt a woman, I have siblings din na mga babae, I mean how would you feel if your sisters will get abused by a guy diba?" I answered.
"So those accusations are not true? Kahit yung unang issue na binugbog mo daw siya?" Someone asked from the swarm of reporters.
"No I never hurt her even from the start." I said.
"Uhm I better get going I'm gonna be late fore my rehearsals." I said.
"Thank you Elmo." A reporter said.
I smiled at them and walked away from them when I heard one reporter shouted.
"Si Miss San Jose nandito na..." a reporter shouted.
I grabbed my phone and composed a quick message for Julie.
To Love:
Goodluck on those reporters Love I'll see you around...
