B E A T R I Z 'S POV

"I never imagine na papasok ako sa ganitong relationship, ang hirap pala at the same time ang saya din. Ang hirap kasi, madaming magja-judge sa inyo, sa atin porke we're the same gender. Kung Love doesn't matter also Love has no gender naman diba. Bakit sila ganun agad maghusga ng isang tao kahit na hindi nila lubos na kakilala. Sabagay we live in a judgemental society. Wala namang perfect na tao. Nagmamahal lang naman tayo, mali na bang magmahal?" she sighed.

I held her hand then I kissed it then.

"Don't mind what others thinking, focus on me, focus on us. Don't stress yourself with people who don't understand what is life truly is. Life is living with the person you love and the person who loves you. Love is always right, bear that. Tsaka wala naman tayong pake sa kung anong iniisip nila basta nagmamahalan tayo"

In our generation, not all people understand what love is, they know its all about the same age, gender based, family business, we're place you were living, money, state in life and etc. But they can't see that Love is everywhere, it doesn't matter what state of your life is, when you fell in love, you fell in love, that's it. Nothing bigdeal with it.

I can't blame them,We have our own beliefs and beliefs but then life must go on.

"Do they need to interact with other people's lives? Why do not they take their own lives? What do their judgments help? Are they getting rich?" her tears drifted slowly from her eyes, then I hate it.

I hate seeing her crying in front of me.

"Stop crying, everything's fall into pieces. Everythings gonna be alright maybe not now but soon and someday they will understand, hush now"

Kahit kasi mga parents niya is tutol din sa amin, tutol sa mga hindi normal na pagmamahalan. Kaya alam kong nahihirapan siya sa situation namin.

In my side, My parents are very supportive, I must be thankful then.

Ang saya saya ko kasi pinakilala niya ako sa mga magulang niya, pero alam ko at alam niya din na simula pa lang ay tutol na sila sa same sex relationship. And I'm so proud of her even if she know what her parents reaction pinakilala niya pa din ako.

That's the one thing why I fell in love with her.

"Hindi ko alam, Bea. Hindi ko na alam gagawin ko"

Mas lalo siyang umiyak, alam ko namang nahihirapan siya pero sana hindi umabot sa time na mawalan ng kami 😰

"No one will give up, promise me" Even my eyes is teary.

"I can't"

I hugged her tight. I know she's strong but now what I see in our situation, I think she slowly giving up. And thats bullshit!

"Please, don't give up on us. I'm begging you"  and my tears slowly fell down.

"Whatever we do, kahit anong ipaglaban natin. Alam mo at alam ko na paghihiwalayin at paghihiwalayin tayo ni Daddy"

"I'll talk to Tito" I said then pinunasan ko ang luha ng umaagos sa pisnge niya.

"No! Mas magagalit lang siya at mas lalo tayong paghihiwalayin sa isa't isa, maybe we migrate to New york, if you do what your planning"

Humiwalay ako sa kanya at hinawakan ang braso niya.

"What?! Wala tayong gagawin? Paano to mareresolve, if we don't have to do something? Bullshit" Sa inis ko ay masyado ko ng napisil ang mga braso niya na hawak ko.
