TAHIMIK kaming naglalakad na dalawa pabalik sa k’warto niya.
“Ako na,” pagprepresenta ko para buksan ang door knob.
Nadatnan namin sa loob ang mama niya, si Sir Lennux at si Sir Hyjin. Mukhang naka-uwi na si Ma’am Prim kasi hindi ko na siya nakikita.
“Oh, anak, Meg. Kumain na kayo, nandiyan ‘yong binili mo, Meg. Atsaka nagdala si Manang Pepita ng paborito mong sinigang, Alex,” masayang sambit ni Ma’am Shin habang patuloy na nagtitingin sa magazine na hawak niya.
“May I have your attention? Mom? Kuya Lennux? And Kuya Hyjin?” Nagulat ako kay Alex n’ong sabihin niya iyon.
“Go ahead, anak,” sabi naman ni Ma’am Shin habang ang dalawa niyang kuya ay nakatingin na rin sa amin.
Ang sunod na ginawa ni Alex ay hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. Intertwined ang nais, mga mami.
“Meg and I are officially in a relationship,” masayang anunsiyo ni Alex atsaka it

Alex's Point of View I HEARD three knocks from my office's door, and I didn't even bother to stand. Alam kong hindi makakalampas kay Ate Pearl kung sino man 'yang kumakatok kung hindi importante ang sadya n'ya sa kin. I heard the cricking sound from the door when he started opening it, and from my post, I saw Kuya Lennux walking in my direction. I just saved the document I was editing before standing and walking a little. Hindi na ako nakalayo sa lamesa ko dahil siya na mismo ang pumunta para agad na halikan ako sa noo ko. Lagi talaga akong ginagawang bata. I remained from my place when he had already occupied my seat. Isinandal ko na lang ang sarili ko malapit sa mesa habang naka-cross arms at nakatingin sa kan'yang pinapaulit-ulit na pinapatalbog-talbog ang hawak n'yang ballpen. "Kuya, what is it? Do you have something to tell me?" I managed to utter. Hindi naman 'to pupunta rito ng kusa kung wala siyang gust

Alex's Point of ViewWE are both silent when I was driving the car to the hotel for our food tasting. Pasimpleng date na rin 'to. Minsan talaga suddenly yayain ko na lang siyang kumain sa labas at magdadahilan na lang ako na wala akong kasama sa bahay which is truthfully meron naman talaga. Sa kan'ya maybe it is just a simple and plain dinner but for it is not.Matagal ko ng pasikretong minamahal si Meg. Unang kita ko pa lang sa kan'ya noon malapit sa dagat kung nasaan kami lagi ni dad I know in myself that I should be brave to tell my whole family that I am in love with a girl and that I am a bisexual.One factor that's why I was depressed after my father's death is that I felt that I was in front of millions of people, and I was streaming that I was different, but they couldn't hear me. I am afraid to tell my mom or even my two older brothers about my sexual orientation because I know how they treasure me as the

Alex's Point of View"HELLO? Where are you now, Alex? Kanina ka pa hinihintay ni Kuya Lennux," medyo irritated na boses ni Kuya Hyjin sa kabilang linya. They are all waiting for me for a family dinner in Kuya Lennux's barn. Ito 'yong dahilan kung bakit n'ya ako pinapunta sa bahay n'ya."I'm on my way, kuya. I was stuck in this freaking traffic after I drove Meganne home," I answered."You are full aware how heavy the traffic is when rush hour came. Bakit ka ba kasi nagpaabot ng rush hour?" He remains murmuring again. If I'm not mistaken pasikreto lang ako nitong tinawagan. He knows how Kuya Lennux is so impatient and when it comes to this event especially if we're with his in-laws mas gusto n'ya laging kompleto kaming lahat."I had no choice. Don't worry, and I'm already in the parking lot how I wish that Ate Prim's family is just like Ate Mellie's family," I rant."Pfft! Even if you still know how Ku

Alex's Point of ViewHINDI naman ako masokista kaya iniba ko na lang ang usapan by telling her about my brother's plan for tomorrow. Sana lang talaga kapag umaamin na ako sa 'yo hindi magbago ang lahat. Ayon lang naman ang kinakatakutan ko. Mas natatakot akong magbago ang lahat sa min dahil lang hindi n'ya ako kayang mahalin pabalik. Mas ayos ng hindi na lang n'ya ako mahalin pabalik I can moved on pero 'yong tuluyan siyang mawala sa kin ayon ang hindi ko kakayanin. Sinasabi ko, I am really going back to my darkest times when that happened.I noticed that she is starting feeling cold. Paano ba naman kasi naka-shorts pa siya she's not usually wearing that kind of outfit, more on showing off her skin. Paano na lang kung gan'yan siya araw-araw sa opisina namin maybe I am really fucking pissed off right now. Marami na siguro akong nasisanting empleyado ng Estrellas Group.Before

Alex's Point of View"JOKE lang," she whispered before patting my shoulders."Kelly! Kung gusto mong umangat sa laylayan ng lipunan huwag na kay Vice Chair wala kang panama kay Meg, ghorl!" Marquez said while laughing his heart out. Napakamot ako ng batok ko thinking that Meganne will react but thankfully she was busy talking with Tani and she don't even bother to pay attention to the three of us.Kelly and I both entered the elevator, and they let me stand in front of all of them. Gusto ko pa sanang makatabi si Meganne but she's in the middle of Tani and Belinda hindi na ako makasingit pa. They were all busily chitchatting something, and I remained silent while Kelly's eyes were on me. I don't know what she is doing but based on her smile I know for a fact that she already knows that I'm really in love with my best friend.When the elevator stopped on the 14th floor, where my office is, I got off the elevat

Alex's Point of ViewMEGANNE stayed with me for the whole morning after picking up her in their condominumium. Her friends also explained to her what really happened but what ever happens between the two of us will remain secret. Hindi ko 'yon sasabihin sa kan'ya because I want to tease her, pag-isipin siya nang pag-isipin kung ano ba talagang pinagagawa n'ya n'ong lasing na lasing siya.Pero hindi naman kami halos nakapag-usap na dalawa dahil busy din naman ako. I was really finishing all the things that I will be needing for this afternoon's presentation para mabilis ko lang matapos as I was planning to spend the evening with Meganne lalo na ngayon na huling araw na lang n'ya sa Estrellas.Mas lalo kaming hindi nakapag-usap when my brother called her to inform Meg that the new secretary for the chief executive is already on her way. My brother also told me ahead of time that she will be training the new sec

Alex's Point of View"MEGANNE Lou Laxa, mahal kita, mahal na mahal kita higit pa sa pagiging kaibigan." There you go. I already drop the bomb and I all I can do right now is to wait for her reaction and reply.As expected, nagulat siya. Inabot ko ulit 'yong batok n'ya para halikan siyang muli pero tinulak na n'ya ako palayo sa kan'ya this time. She immediately grabs her bag and started walking away from me.Pero hindi ko rin naman hahayaang matapos ang gabi na 'to na hindi ko mapatunayan sa kan'ya na mahal ko talaga siya at hindi ako nagbibiro.Even if nakalayo na siya sa kin nilakasan ko pa rin ang loob ko pati na rin ang boses ko to shout my feelings for her. I know that she is starting to be confused right now kaya mas pinili n'ya na lang na lumayo sa kin but a ray of hope strike my heart again when she stopped from walking at nagawa ko ng takbuhin siya para mayakap siya mula sa likod.When I was able to hug her ti

Alex's Point of ViewWHEN I entered the main entrance of Estrellas everything seems so normal and outgoing. Parang walang nagbago o kung ano man, napakabilis pa rin ang kilos ng lahat at abala sa kan'ya- kan'ya nilang mga ginagawa."Vice Chair, sa conference hall na po ba tayo sa 15th floor didiretso o may kukunin pa kayo sa opsina?" Ate Pearl asks me before closing the elevator."Diretso na nandoon na raw si Kuya Lennux, ate. Baka umapoy na naman ang ilong n'on kapag nagtagal pa ako," I replied before looking down at my phone. Tinignan ko ang wallpaper kung kami lang naman dalawa ni Meganne. The selfie was taken when we attended a product launching of Esterllas last few months ago.Simula n'ong hindi na pumapasok si Meg dito sa Estrellas papalit-palit na ako ng wallpaper ko pero lagi namang kung hindi kaming dalawa ay mukha n'ya lang. Alam kong napaka-cringe at parang napaka-corny pero kailangan kong tignan
