Oooops! Hindi po scripted yan. :)

Elmo visited Julie Anne on their dressing room bago matapos ang show.

“Hey.”

“Grabe ka kanina.”

“Alin?”

“Nagulat ako, akala ko kaya sasakalin mo ko!”

Natawa si Elmo with matching kamot ulo.

“Hehe, sorry. Gusto ko lang pakita how tight I can hold  you. That you.belongs.to.me.”

“Ayy! Mejo clingy?”

Naguusap lang sila sa gilid ng makita sila ng ate ni Elmo na si Maxx.

“Hey you two! Ang galing niyo lang kanina! Ikaw Moe ah, ang galing mo imiscore! You already!”

“Thanks Maxx.”

Julie politely said.

“Teka picture nga tapos insta ko!”

“Game!” 

Elmo answered and automatically wrapped his arms around Julie. 

“There! Eeee so sweeet!”

Maxx said while looking at the photo on her phone.

“Elmo you can let go now.”

Mejo nahihiya si Julie kasi hindi pa rin siya binibitawan ni Elmo.

“Sus! Ayoko naa! I better go, alam ko naman na nuisance lang ang tingin mo sakin ngayon Moe.”

“Akala ko di mo napansin.”

Elmo said while still hugging Julie Anne.

“Julie can you please pack my brother with you? For sure sasakit lang ulo ko jan because you’re not around. Lagi nanaman siyang sasama sa mga lakad ko!”

“Or is it the other way around Maxx?”

“Whatever!”

Natatawa lang si Julie sa pag-aaway ni Elmo at Maxene, nasanay na siya sa dalawang to. Actually sa magkakapatid, ganyan lang talaga sila but they love each other.

“Bye Julie and safe flight! I won’t say goodluck on the concert  anymore because we all know you’ll rock that!”

Maxene said and winked at Julie.

“Thanks Maxx.”

Pagkaalis ni Maxene, binitawan na ni Elmo si Julie.

“Pwede ba yun?”

“Ang alin?”

Tanong ni Julie kay Elmo.

“Sama na lang ako sa bagahe mo.”

Natawa si Julie sa sinabi at sa itsura ni Elmo.

“Sira!”

Natapos na ang Party Pilipinas, halos lahat sila teary-eyed.

“Mamimiss ko ng sobra ang PP.”

“Who wouldn’t?”

Elmo said while walking Julie to their car. 

“Dun  tayo nagsimula.”

“Pero di tayo dun magtatapos.”

Nakarating na rin sila sa pinagpark-an ng kotse nila Julie. 

“I love you.”

“I know”

They’re standing face to face, hands intertwined.

“I just want you to be reminded always. I love you.”

Elmo said the magic words again this time in a very low voice.

“I love you too.”

And they sealed it with a kiss…on the forehead. 

Nabibilang na sa daliri. 

“2 weeks…”

“Mabilis lang yun.”

Hinawakan ni Julie ang kamay ni Elmo as if to assure him that time will pass quick.

“Matagal yun.”

“Kulit.”

Pinisil ni Julie ang ilong ni Elmo, and he hated it.

“Baby!”

Agad niyang hinanap ang kamay ni Julie Anne at pinasok sa bulsa ng hoodie niya. Naglalakad sila papasok sa loob ng isang restaurant. 

Julie and her family decided to host a small Thanksgiving/Birthday/Despedida Party that night. 

Elmo had to let go of her hand because Julie had to greet some people.

They ordered the food and is now waiting for it. Naguusap lang si Elmo at Julie Anne nang bigla may isang babaeng mejo malakas ang boses na umorder.

“Can I have fish firreeey.”

Muntik na silang tumawa ng malakas but they had to hold in it. Kinurot ni Julie si Elmo sa tagiliran to stop him from almost squealing.

“Nakakatawa kasi, I’m sorry.”

Kitang kita na busy ang mga “adult” sa table nila sa paguusap kaya sila lang ang nakapansin sa babae.

“Alam ko, nakakatawa nga.”

Tatawa sana ulit sila pero nakita nilang pinagtinginan sila ng mga kasamahan.

“What’s funny?”

Direk Rico asked.

“Wala po.”

Julie answered and then Ms. Lally who’s sitting beside Elmo asked him about his infamous dog.

Everyone was just laughing before, during and after eating. 

“Let’s take some photos.” Direk Rico said and stood up.

“Yeah, dapat lang pero sino magshoshot?” Nag-agree naman agad si Tita Marivic.

“Let’s just ask some of the staff.” 

“Ako na lang po.”

Elmo stood up to take the photo. 

“Sure?”

Tinanong ni Julie si Elmo, agad naman itong tumango.

“There!”

“Thanks Moe! Pwedeng isa pa?”

When the photo opp ended, nagpaalam na ang lahat sa isa’t isa and ended a good night with some hugs and kisses.

Agad na tinawagan ni Elmo si Julie Anne using WeChat when he got to their condo. 

“I miss you, agad agad.”

“Awww. Don’t be like this, mahihirapan ako lalo eh. Don’t use the puppy look on me Elmo.”

Agad na natawa si Elmo.

“Akala ko it’s working. Di ba sabi mo ang cute ko with my dog? Kaya nga everyday may photo ako kasama siya atleast cute ako di ba?”

Ang lakas ng tawa ni Julie sa sinabi ni Elmo. Naalala nga niya ng sinabi  sa kanya ni Elmo na magpopost siya ng magpopost ng photos with his dog kasi lagi siyang napupuri ni Julie.

“And you know what? The dog is becoming more famous that I am.”

“Alam ko! Siya kaya ang dahilan kung bakit laging nasa popular page ka ng instagram.”

“Oo na lang…”

“Sus tampo agad, bakit ba kasi ginigiit mo na cute ka?”

“Hindi ba!?”

Kitang kita niya na selos na selos na si Elmo, parang bata.

“Hindi ka cute, hindi ka pogi.”

“Oo na, sorry hindi pogi at hindi cute ang boyfriend mo.”

“Kasi gwapo ka. Sobrang gwapo mo! Ang gwapo ng mukha mo, ang gwapo ng biceps mo, ang gwapo ng abs mo. Ang gwapo mo!”

Biglang natahimik si Elmo at hindi nakasalita, nakangiti lang siya ng kalaki-laki.

“I miss you.”

“Magkikita pa po tayo bukas.”

“Kahit na, I miss you parin.”

End.  (1 of 2)

“I’m awesome.”

Napatingin si Julie Anne sa pinagalingan ng boses at nakita ang isang maputing lalaki sa likod niya.

“Huh?”

“I mean this painting. The artist wants us to know that he’s awesome.”

Oh. Natawa si Julie Anne when she said his thoughts out loud. Kanina pa niya actually nararamdaman yun sa art piece na tinititigan niya.

“Tama ako di ba?”

“Yeah. I’m actually thinking of the same thing when I saw this.”

“Yeah, so full of himself. Nakakainis na magkapangalan kami.”

The white guy with really adorable dimples offered his hand for what seems like a handshake.

“So I assume you’re Daniel.”

Mr. Dimples gave her a sweet smile. She took his hand.

“Yeah, Daniel… Daniel Magalona.”

“Magalona?”

-

-

“Oh my God! That’s hilarious!”

Julie Anne is holding her tummy she can’t stop laughing. After meeting Daniel, who happened to be Elmo’s brother they went to the nearest restaurant to eat.

“Nakakatawa no? Si Elmo autistic talaga yun. Pamacho pero ang favorite show ay Adventure Time!”

“I can’t imagine! Kaya pala napakaisip bata nun!”

“Oo saka sobrang geek nun.”

“Really?”

“Nako you don’t want to know. Try asking him about the newest gadget and he’ll start taking about os and all those geeky stuff.”

“Kaya pala he’s such a psycho when it comes to his phone.”

“Yes! I don’t dare use his phone maarte kasi yun.”

“Haha.”

Julie laughed and sipped from her strawberry shake.

“So… Kanina pa tayo naguusap and I’ve been wanting to ask you this.”

“Hm?”

“Kamusta kayo ni Moe?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I mean di ba he’s your boyfriend? You know when I saw your pic on his bed table I was thinking that you’re a party animal. The kind of girl who always wants attention and fun fun fun. Who looks after her ‘look’ all the time but talking to you now… I kinda envy my brother.”

Natahimik lang si Julie Anne.

“I’m sorry. I know I sounded like a creep and judgmental I only got to see 1 photo of you and concluded that.. Its just that I’ve had that weird talent to actually figure out a person’s character just by looking at her and I only failed once, it’s you.”

Julie remained silent.

“I’m sorry.. Did I offend you?”

“No.”

She slowly shook her head.

“You got it all wrong.”

“About you? Yeah. I was wrong!”

“No.. I mean me being Elmo’s girl.”

“Huh? Bakit are you…sorry are you two over?”

“No, no! ‘Coz we weren’t an item in the first place. His girlfriend is my twin.”

“You have a twin?!”

“Yeah. Julie Mae, she’s his girl. The one on the photo you’re talking about.”

“I don’t know kung saan masho-shock dun sa stupid mistake ko o dun sa fact na may kamukha ang isang katulad mo.”

The girl felt her cheeks redden.

“Huh?”

“I’m sorry it’s just that you’re so…gorgeous. And I can’t imagine having you doubled.”
