Stay Away From Me (Complete)

Chapter 5

Next day...

Hans

I can't keep the real me a secret from myself, even if the world comes apart. Since so many people today think that being gay is wrong, I'm not sure if I'll be accepted for who I am. Yet I only believe I did one thing correctly: I'm devoted and true to myself.

People nowadays have such limited 
mental capacities that they can only 
observe incorrect things and make 
snap judgments. It's great that 
Sharmine which is my cousin and Joshua's fiancee with 
whom we will be playing in the band for their wedding with Angelo and Jay, welcomed him completely despite the fact that he is a homesexual.

I recalled what happened in Andrea's apartment yesterday. I believe that things will become more complicated, especially now that Andrea and Jay are aware of my identity. They seem to be wary of me, as if they know who I am. However I make my best effort to remain composed.

I wanted to work despite of what happened so I was able to pay for my school expenses and not lose the chance to earn money. I'm not wealthy person but majority of the clothes that I'm wearing is from my cousin Leo who is wealthty.

"Angelo?" Patanong na sambit ni Jhon paul, JP in short ang pinsan ni Clara na bestfriend ni Denmark.

"Ano na, Sino na kakanta para sa weeding na magaganap?" He added na tila nagaalala baka mapurnada ang event. Ilang beses rin kasi kami nag prepared for this pero until now undecided pa rin kami kung sino ang kakanta.

"Si Jay." Tipid na sagot nito habang nagaayos ng gamit sa gilid ng venue kung saan kami tutugtog.

"I want him to sing alone." Sagot naman no Jp. He is a wedding organizer but until now kakapa kapa pa rin siya sa mga gagawin. Kumbaga not all well planned.

"Of course he can. Bihira lang naman ang dalawang singer sa banda diba?" Angelo replied as if parang baguhan palang siya sa industry kasi pumasok lang naman siya sa org namin to be with me kaya medyo wala pa siyang alam.

"Loko ka bro! Pwede rin naman dalawa ang kakanta iyong isa backup singer lang." Sagot ko naman sabay tinakip si Angelo sa balikat sabay kindat.

"I almost forget sorry baby." Bulong nito sa akin na nagpalaki sa aking mata. Hindi kasi ako sanay na we are doinh something makes other uncomfortable hanggang ngayon kasi tago pa rin ang relasyon namin.

"Narinig ko yun. Sinong baby?" Pagaasar na sambit ni JP habang nagaayos ng cords ng guitara at bigla kaming napatingin na dalawa ni Angelo sakanya.

"You did not heard it right. Ang sinabi ko 'sorry bal' palayaw kasi yun ni Hans sa bahay nila." Sambit nito at tumingin saka nguti at sabay kitdat pagkatapos. Ngumuiti nalang ako para kunwari sumangayon ako.

"Sus. Dapat kung nagkaroon ka ng jowa piliin mo maganda." Sagot naman ni Jp na nagpalunok ng laway ko.

"May jowa na ako at sobra niyang ganda." Sagot naman ni Angelo sabay tingin sakin na nagaasar at sabay siko ko naman sakanya dahil magkalapit pa rin kami hanggang ngayon.

"Focus tayo sa event kung ano ano pa pinaguusapan niyo eh." Pagpuputol ko sa usapan nila na siya naman sinangayunan nila at ilan sandali lang ay natapos na kami mag set up.

"We have a problem." Sambit ni JP na main guitarist ng banda at wedding organizer ng event.

"Ano yon." Ani ko sabay tingin kami lahat sakanya dahil para itong nagaalala.

"May emergency sa bahay. I need to leave now." Sabay takbo nito papunta sa kanyang kotse.

"Lang'ya naman pare. Hindi pa nga nagsisimula kasal umalis na si JP. Sino na satin ang mag piplay ng guitara. Sambit ko kay Angelo na gulat din sa pagalis ni JP.
