One Night Stand - Unfold

chapter 20

“What?! Who told you that? Syempre mahal ako nung tao” medyo inis na boses ni Lauren ngayon.

“Ah. Kaya pala nung last time na pinuntahan mo sya sa gig nya di ka pinansin” pang aasar na sabi nito

“Hoy, Erika! Di pinansin, he kissed me”

“Yeah! Thinking it was someone else. Yung new girl nya. What’s her name?! Ahm” snapping his or is it a her?! LOL Fingers while thinking the name of the girl “Japs”

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Julie sa narinig. Sya yung iniisip ni Elmo nung himahalikan nya yung babae?! *Eww. Please malayo po ang taste ng halik nya sa babaeng yun. Hahaha*

“Who the hell is that? At pano mo naman nalaman?” Lauren asked

“Elmo boy” nginitian si Lauren “I’ve heard him talking to his band mates. At yun nga, he talks about this Japs girl” lumapit sa mga sapatos at tumingin ng mga to “Sabi nya happy daw sya that finally okay na uli sila. That he can’t stand being in a fight with her. How much he missed her. And how much he wanted her to be his girl” tumingin kay Lauren “Pero swerte ka pa rin girl. May boyfriend na yung Japs. So hindi sila pwede”

“Tsk” badtrip si Lauren sa nalaman “I’ll talk to Saab about this. Makikinig naman si Elmo dun”

“Yeah right. Kaya nga iniwan ka kay Saab last time para sundan yung Japs eh”

“What?! So he left sa bar para sundan yung babaeng yun? And he left me……..”

“Look at this” it was Maqui pointing her lips on the stilettos she’s wearing.

Julie look at Maqui’s feet absent mindedly. Nasa conversation pa rin ng dalawa ang atensyon nya.

“Hey hey hey” waving her hands kung saan nakatingin si Julie. Then Julie look at her face “The hell Juls. Sana naman tinutulungan mo akong mamili ng sapatos no?!”

“Ah. What?”

“Naku talaga naman. Tawagan mo na nga si Elmo”

‘Si Julie tumatawag’ isip ni Elmo “Hello” at the first ring sinagot nya agad ang tawag nito. Miss na miss nya na si Julie. But he didn’t wanna call her. Asar sya dito. Sabi nya rin he won’t txt her kahit pa magtxt to. And won’t talk to her kahit pa tumawag to. Pero isang ring pa lang ng telepono sinagot nya na to.

JuliElmo meet up to have a coffee in that day. Niyaya nya si Julie mag kape after having a conversation with her. They miss each other very much, dalawang araw walang tawag or txt man lang.

“Kaw ah. Kung di pa ko tatawag sayo di ka pa magpaparamdam” sabi ni Julie while waiting for their order.

“Sorry Japs. Busy eh. Kaw nga di pumunta ng gig ko last night eh” nagtatampo si Elmo dahil first time ni Julie na hindi pumunta sa gig nya.

“You didn’t invite me”

“Di naman na kailangan yun no. You’re always invited Japs. Kahit anong okasyon man yan. Kahit nga family gathering namin kasama ka na e”

“Sorry” was all she can say. Kasi totoo naman. Kahit exclusive family gathering nila kasama sya.

Tumango tango ang si Elmo while smiling.

“Na-miss mo ko?” tanong ni Julie.

Lumawaka ng ngiti ni Elmo “Sobra”

Natuwa naman si Julie dito. Specially now she knows na wala naman palang nangyare kay Lauren at Elmo. She knows that the girl was Lauren since sya nga ang ex ni Elmo na bestfriend ni Saab. At lalong di mapigilan ang ngiti ng maalala nya na sya pala talaga ang gusto ni Elmo.

“Lawak ng ngiti. Anong iniisip mo?” tanong ni Elmo

“Wala. Nagugutom lang ako. Ang tagal ng order natin eh” pagpapalusot nya

“Nakakabaliw talaga ang pagpapalipas ng gutom” bulong ni Elmo

“Kaya pala ganyan ka eh. Lagi ka kasing nalilipasan ng gutom. hahahaha”

“Oo naman. Pero Okay lang love na love mo ko eh”

“And who told you that?”

“Matagal ko naman nang alam yun Julie eh kasi…………”

 “Pare” biglang sulpot ng lalak, taping Elmo’s shoulder.

 Julie knows this guy. She can’t remember kung saan nya ba nakita yung lalaki.

“Uy pare” it was Elmo

Nginitian ng lalaki si Julie “Saan ba dito may ATM machine?” tanong nung lalaki.

“There” turo ni Elmo ng direction.

Ngumiti yung lalaki “sure ba yan pare?”

“Yes. Positive bro. I’ve been here many times”

“Baka mamaya mali na naman yung tinuro mo ah. Nakakahiya kaya dun sa lalaki last time. Parang nagalit talaga sakin eh”

“Hush” pagpapatahimik ni Elmo sa lalaki. “Sigurado ko dito. Punta ka na dun. Bye bye”

“Talaga naman. Sige sige wala naman siguro kong maaabala this time. Grabe pare nagalit talaga sakin yung guy the last time. Nakakahiya yun”

‘Daldal’ isip ni Elmo. “Okay okay. Sige na sige na” pagtataboy nya dito

“Sige. Salama pare” at umalis na si daldal.

Nakaresib ng txt si Julie from Sam. Asking her kung pwede sila mag dinner mamaya. She reply na pwede naman. While texting Sam, may naalala si Julie.

The guy just a while ago, sya yung nagsorry kay Sam yesterday sa condo nya. The guy didn’t see her kasi nasa loob sya ng unit, but she saw him. She then asked Sam nung nakaalis na yung lalaki kung ano sinabi sa kanya nito.

“Nagsorry lang. He was the guy knocking so hard last time we……..yeah. And sorry daw kasi parang may naabala daw sya. Hahaha. He even accused me na kabit ng asawa nya, turns out yung kapitbahay mo pala yun. Yung unit dyan sa kabila” Sam

“Oh. Maling akala. Hahaha”

“He says may nagturo daw sa kanya na andito yung asawa nya. Sinabi pa talaga yung room number. He was really mad daw, then a guy told him na andito nga yung hinahanap nya” Sam

‘Wait. Kilala nya si Elmo’ nag-iisip si Julie ‘Maling direction. Galit na guy. May naabala.’

“What the” then she look at Elmo who is enjoying his food ‘Si Elmo ba yung nag sabi sa lalaki na sa unit ko hanapin yung asawa nya? But why? Alam naman nyang wala dun yung babae.’ Then she realized it. ‘Di kaya alam ni Elmo yung muntik na mangyari samin ni Sam? No, pano nmn nya malalaman yun. Baka naman all he knows is andon si Sam. And he told me naman na ayaw nya kay Sam, though di pa nya na-me-meet si Sam. Pero bakit yung unit ko yung tinuro nya?” gulong gulo na ang  utak ni Julie.
