The car ride back from the municipal hall was very quiet.
Pero naririnig ni Julie na nagbubulungan sa likod si Phil saka si Maqui. But she couldn't hear anything that they were saying.
Liningon niya si Elmo na tahimik lang naman na nagmamaneho.
He had a faraway look in his eyes as he drove. Julie sighed to herself. Sana iba na lang ang nangyayari sa kanya. Tawagin niyo na siyang duwag at tanga pero ayaw na kasi ulit niya maramdaman ang ilang beses na niyang napagdadaanan kapag kasama si Elmo.
It was toxic for her.
Tipong bawat sandali ay iniisip niya kung buong buo na sa kanya ba si Elmo.
They got back home after an hour. Nararamdaman ni Julie ang bigat ng singsing sa kanyang daliri.
Kahit pa para sa merger lamang ay totoong kasal sila ni Elmo. That was what the ring was for.
