I fell in love with her. Bakla ako oo. Pero... seeing her cry because of her shitty not so handsome ex... makes me sad and... and I wanna comfort her... and be her shoulder to cry on... and... and kahit napakaannoying ng bibig niya I... I wanna hear...
"Oh mga ackla I will chorva muna ha!" Pagpapaalam ko sa mga gaga
"Ingat mamang! Sana makatisod ka ng gwaping!"
"Ay bet! Manifest!" Excited na sambit ko pa bago umalis sa tambayan namin
"Hay..." I relaxed myself before entering the building I really wish I never had to go to. You see... ebribadi in the vaklas association ehh di tanggap ng parentals, kabaklaan man yan o passion mo sa isang bagay... maalin man sa mudra o pudra o both kung malas ka.
My dad... hated me when I outed myself to them. Hindi niya matanggap na yung kaisa isang anak niya na magmmana ng kumpanya niya ehh bakla. My... mom was supportive of me, kaya dun nagmula yung away nilang mag-asawa. Dad always ending up hurting my mom na wala akong magawa. And mom... still loving my dad despite that. Hanggang sa mamatay si papa, we never got the chance to patch things up. I tried running away na hanggang ngayon pinagsisisihan ko kasi... I became one of the reasons my mom stays in this mental institution right now. My mom got heartbroken by his death and by me leaving that she went crazy. Literally. Kaya ginawa ko lahat kahit di ko hilig yung kumpanya ni papa, to stay a guy in front of the employees and be able to sustain it para maipagamot ang nanay ko. Yun lang yung isa sa mga pinanghahawakan ko ngayon. Mapagaling ang nanay ko.
"Hi ma..." sambit ko sa nanay ko pagkakita ko sa kanya
"Lea ko!!" Masiglang bati pa ng nanay ko sakin so I hugged her
"How's my mom doing?" Tanong ko sa nurse
"Still the same sir. Minsan nakikita niya pa rin yung asawa niya na parang sinasaktan daw siya o si Leo"
I clenched my fist and tried not to punch the wall... if only I didn't leave her. This wouldn't have happened.
"Lea ko wag mo iiwan ang mama please..."
"Ma..."
"Matatanggap ka ni papa mo wag ka na alis ha? Ha?"
"Ma..." yun na lang ang nasabi ko before hugging my mom tight. Once a month ako pumupunta dito to check on her but everytime I leave she needs to be sedated kasi baka makasama sa kanya pag makikita niya na naman yung pag-alis ko
"Gagaling ka ma. Pangako yan" sambit ko sa nanay kong mahimbing na ang tulog bago ako umalis.

After one third wheeling session eh humiwalay na ko dun sa dalawa dahil wala din naman ako silbi sa gitna nila. Nagrason na lang akong may gagawin kahit wala para naman makaalis ako ng walang problema.
"Now where do I... papi??" Sambit ko pero my thoughts were stopped dahil pagdating ko sa siyudad malapit sa hotel naaninag ko si Leo
"Leo!" Pagtawag ko pa dito
"H-hey"
"Hi! San ka galing?"
"Uhh just ran some errands around, you?"
"Finding you!"
"W-what?"
"Finding you? Haha bakit parang gulat na gulat ka?"
"That's... just a weird thing to say, I guess?"
"Weird? Haha weird ba ko sayo?" Tanong ko pa dito
"That's not what I want to say!"
"Anyways samahan mo ko. Busy ka?"
"Saan?"
"I wanna go around town. Please?" Pagpapacute ko pa dito holding his hand. Please charm, gumana ka.
"I... I can't—"
"Please?" Sambit ko pa with puppy eyes
"I... I guess I can spare some time"
"Yey!!"
