Someone takes a photo of me and shares it online. My family finds me a disgrace, so they send me to a hospital in the suburbs and hide me there.

I was in the middle of believing that romantic relationships are fleeting and unreliable. My family's situation proves it. But. . . “You're gay?” After a long time of process, disguise, and plan, I thought I wouldn't fall. “Hindi ako mahuhulog sa 'yo, baka ikaw pa ang mahulog sa akin.” As time passes, true love can manifest in unexpected forms. “You prove me wrong Kaizen.” And proving that love knows no boundaries. — Vaniah Feumi Dellona Got Married with a Gay Billionaire
