"so you're telling us, na YOU and that Beatriz de Leon...who is a girl by the way. Are together together..? like girlfriend and boyfriend..?" Gizelle asked.
"Yes we are together, dating, girlfriend and girlfriend. Just like boyfriend and girlfriend."
"eh same lang naman yun ah!?" biglang sabat ni Kimmy.
"no Kimmy, magka iba. Magkaiba ang mag boyfriend and girlfriend sa mag girlfriend. Boyfriend and Girlfriend is consist of a boy and a girl. While sa kanya o kanila, they're both girls" sabat naman ni Rose sabay tingin sa akin, na hindi ko na gustuhan ang tono ng pananalita niya at sa kung paano niya ako tignan.
"i don't get it.." frustrated na sabat ni Gizelle sabay sandal sa upoan niya.
Napahilamos ako sa mukha "guys! Tama na...i am in a relationship with Beatriz de Leon.." pagaawat ko sa kanila dahil they're starting to argue. Nakakafrustrate naman mag explain sa kanila.
"since when did you change your preference?" Rose asked. I looked at her in disbelief. Is she serious..!?
After the dinner kena Tita Det and Tito Elmer's house 4days ago, and Ann Marie kissing my Bea's cheek, i decided to post a picture of me and Beatriz together with Mama, Papa and Janel in my social media account. A picture of us na nka yellow as our Family Christmas picture pero wala si Jad, dahil i don't want to expose him this early. Not because nahihiya ako na may anak na ako, i just don't want na ma trauma ang baby ko while he's still young and growing up. I told Mama, Papa and Janel to be cautious too when posting a picture especially when Jad is included.
Wala naman talaga akong plano to post our picture, but some ignorant reminded me to tell every one na Bea is mine. Kaya kung kinakailangan na bakuran ko, babakuran ko. Isa pa, i told myself that one day i'll expose our relationship. I've waited for this moment to tell to everyone about us. Hndi ko pa naman talaga napa alam sa world tungkol sa amin ni Bea, just a picture of us with my family lang. But still! The picture i posted has a meaning.
Kaya im here in some cafè, two buildings from our cake shop, dahil my college friends demands an explanation about my post. Maka react akala naman kung ano, just a family picture lang naman yon na katabi ko si Bea (holding my hands sa likod ko) and naka yellow kami, and with a caption of Happy Christmas from us. And dahil they are my friends, i told them the real score between me and Bea. Which im starting to regret na sinabi ko pa sa kanila, with the way they act right now.
Gizelle holds my hands na nka patong sa mesa "Jho, maybe you're just confused..? With the way she treats you? Baka na dala ka lang sa mnga surprises niya and sa gesture niya.." seriously..!?. Umiling ako.
"so sino ang lalaki sa inyong dalawa?" sabat ni Marge, na napatahimik sa mnga kasama namin at sabay silang napatingin sa akin.
"kailangan ba talaga mag ask kung sino ang lalaki sa amin?" i asked back. They all nod at my question.
"walang lalaki sa amin. We're both girls who fell inlove with each other. I love her, she loves me. She respect me, i respect her. Period."
Asking who is the "man" in a relationship assumes that somebody needs to be playing a masculine role in order for the chemistry to function. Kahit we're both girls naman, may chemsitry pa rin kami. The reality is that, i don't need a man to be happy and fulfilled in a relationship. In fact, I am actually much happier and more fulfilled without them!. Bakit...required ba in every relationship may label? lalaki o babae? Hindi ba pwede both were inlove. Why..? does someone need to be a "man" in order for a relationship to work?. Asking who's the "man" in a relationship is ridiculously outdated.
