Ako si John. Dalawampu't dalawang taong gulang. Kasalukuyan akong nagtratrabaho bilang isang Nurse. Isang taon pa lamang akong naninirahan dito mula nang kunin ako ni Uncle Robert. Siya ang nagpa-aral sa akin mula Highschool hanggang Kolehiyo ko kaya malaki ang utang na loob ko sa aking Uncle. Ang mga magulang ko kasi ay isang hamak na magsasaka lamang sa aming probinsya. Kaya naman ang kapatid ng Papa ko na si Uncle Robert ang nag-alok na pag-aralin ako dahil nakakaluwag naman ito sa buhay. Isang Pulis si Uncle dito sa Maynila. Mayroon siyang asawa na si Auntie Mabeth at mayroon na rin silang anak. Aaminin ko, isa akong bakla. At alam iyon ni Uncle dahil noong bata palang ay nakitaan na nila ako ng pagiging mahinhin. Hindi naging handlang iyon kay Uncle para hindi ako pagtapusin ng pag-aaral. Nasa edad trenta'y singko na si Uncle Robert. Pero makikita mo parin ang kakisigan nito kahit na nasa ganoong edad na siya. Matipuno si Uncle. Ang baitang nito ay nasa 5'10" kumpara sa akin na nasa 5'5" lamang. Malaki ang katawan nito dahil kailangan niya iyon dahil sa uri ng kanyang propesyon. Aaminin kong may pagtingin ako sa aking Uncle. Alam kong mali ito, pero hindi ko lang talaga maiwasan na pagnasaan siya sa tuwing makikita itong hubad kapag inaayos ang kanyang sasakyan. O, kapag nakasuot ito ng kanyang uniporme at bumabakat ang batutang tinatago nito. Pero nitong mga nakaraang araw, nag-iba lalo ang tingin ko sa kanya nang umalis si Auntie Mabeth para mangibang-bansa. Mas lalo akong nagkaroon ng pagnanasa sa Uncle ko. Mas naging malawak at mapusok ang imahinasyong binubuo ko sa tuwing makikita ko si Uncle. Sa mga sandaling ito, hindi ko alam kung hanggang saan aabot ang pagnanasa ko sa aking Tiyuhin.
