Setting: Boracay, April 12, 2025
Elijah Canlas aka Jelo, was having his usual walk-alone at the beach sand. He missed the smell of the sea, and the tickling feels of the sand to his feet. People there recognized him. Some were waving, calling his name, some were taking pictures with him and as he was about to go back to his room, he saw a familiar face from a distance.
Shirtless, wearing a hat and a shades. He knew that guy. He felt his heart jumped a little. But he tried his very best to ignore it. He walked as fast as he could when..
"Jelo!"
Ofcourse he knew it was him. He knew that voice as he was playing his songs on repeat.
"Jelo! Dyan ka lang wait!"
So there, he stopped. He didn't want to have a chasing scene just like what he always does to his characters.
"Hi...Moks"
And that became the most familiar voice he heard. The voice of someone whom he treated as his highschool best friend.
"Hi...Koy" he replied.
Koy while pounding his hand on his chest:
"Ouuuuch... wala bang Moks dyan?"
Jelo: "That's soo highschool. Di ka ba nako-cornyhan?"
Koy in a teasing tone: "Suus. Kaya pala ginamit mo don sa last movie ni Malak."
Jelo just faked a smile.
Both, at once:
"So sinong kasama mo?... Wala."
Then they laughed.
Koy: "Tara sa room ko."
Jelo: "Wow ha. Di ba pwedeng doon sa bar. O kaya somewhere public?"
Koy: Jelo it's been 4 long years. Gusto mong magkwentuhan tayo in a public place?
Jelo got no choice.
Jelo: Okay. Mapilit ka padin.
They walked with quite a distance. But the people are still quick to notice.
"Kooooy! Pa picture..."
"OMG si direk Eli. With Kokoy?"
To stop any further speculations, Koy shouted:
"Guuuuys! Kalma we're working on a project. Abangan!"
Scene 2
Setting: Kokoy's hotel room
Jelo: Halos magkatabi lang tayo ng room.
Koy: Wow! Talaga? What a coincidence?
Jelo: Oo nga eh. I chose this not so famous hotel kasi gusto ko sanang mapag-isa.
Koy: Ohhh... so parehas parin pala tayo mag-isip no?
Jelo: Really? Baka naman sinusundan mo ko? Saka baka pwedeng mag damit ka na muna?
Kokoy's excitement is unexplainable. He misses Elijah so much. He misses his best friend...
Koy: So, naka sando na ko. Pwede na magkamustahan?
Jelo smirked.
Koy: Bakit mag-isa ka lang?
Jelo: Ahhh... Wala lang. Unwind. Madalas din naman ako dito kapag summer.
Koy: O? Ako din eh. Bakit ngayon lang kita nakita?
Jelo: Wow, parang isang araw lang yung summer at kapag pumunta tayo dito eh we have 100% chance to meet.
Koy: Easy... Ikaw padin talaga si Jelo... Pero... andaming tao dito why chose to unwind here?
Jelo: Bakit nga ba dito? Uhmm.. I could write better stories here...Daming memories na naalala...
Koy: Oh..memories...Hanggang kailan ka dito?
Jelo: Diko pa alam...
Seemed like the mood was starting to shift so Kokoy played his songj Lagi-Lagi. 🎶Di ko kinaya, tuwing ika'y nakikita...
Jelo: I love this song. Sounds veeery familiar...
🎵🎶aatakihin na yata...ako sa puso...
Kokoy: Oh, talaga ba?
