The Fight Between A Feelingerang Gay and A Pretty Me

CHAPTER VIII - Simeon

"Who... are you?"

Napa-atras ako at nanlalaki ang mga mata ko sa nasabi ko.

He looks like Simon! Who the heck is this person whom I just dumped?!

"Ah... I--"

"I'm sorry."

Inunahan niya ako sa pag-sosorry. Bigla akong naguilty bigla!

"Do you know Simon?"

Napatingin ako sa kaniya at tinignan siyang mabuti. He looks like Simon. Is he definitely clowning me?

No. He isn't.

This guy is different. He's straight. He's....

Handsome.

FUCK bxxbxjzjsjsj

Napa-iling ako sa naiisip ko. No, you should not dream people like that Sassy. Not ever.

"Miss? Do you know Simon?"

Bumalik ako sa reyalidad nang marinig kong tinatawag niya ako.

"Y-yes. Yes ofcourse."

Tsk. Kaaway ko yun at siya ang pinaka-walang kwentang taong nakilala ko.

"Do you know where he is?"

He's a bit annoying. I don't know why pero naiinis ako dahil sa pagtatanong niya.

"I don't know. We're not close."

Napatango siya at ngumiti. Gosh, paano na lang kung ganto rin ka-straight si Simon— I mean he could be handsome like this.

Hindi ibig sabihin na kahit magiging straight man siya, I would never dare to be close with him.

"Is that so? Ah... Thank you and are in a hurry? I'm sorry if I have taken your time."

"No, it's okay."

I smiled geniunely. He partedly smiled back at ako naman tong parang engot na pangiti-ngiti rin sa kaniya.

"Maybe I should go home now. Ah I mean we should go home?"

Napataas ako ng kilay sa nasabi niya. Napakamot naman siya sa batok niya at nabalot ng katahimikan ang buong paligid. 

"Shall.... we–"

"SIMEON?!?!"

WTF IS THAT?!?! PANIRA OF THE YEAR GOES TO THAT SIMON BITCH!

Napalingon ako sa kinaroroonan niya at ano yung narinig ko? His name is Simeon??!

"You're wearing a make-up now..."

************************************

I'm hearing heavy breaths now from the person who I know is definitely doomed.

"Simeon it's not what you think."

Napapalagitnaan ako ng dalawang lalakeng magkaparehong mukha pero magkaiba ang estado ng buhay. They're twins but in different manner.

Ngayon ko lang nakitang walang make-up si Simon at hindi ko alam ang eksaktong rason kung bakit niya tinanggal yon.

"Kuya I can't imagine you're doing wrong things na hindi ko inaakalang gagawin mo. Kuya you can't be like this."

"Yun na nga. Hindi ko rin inaakalang magagawa ko yun sa sarili ko! I know bakla ako. Oo inaamin ko. Kasalanan ko ba yun Sim? Ayokong makasal ako sa babaeng hindi ko pa kilala at hindi ko mahal!"

Umalingawngaw sa loob ng restaurant ang sigaw niya. Halos pati ako ay mapatalon sa kinauupuan dahil sa mga hiyaw niyang yun.

Poor...

Simon.

"Nandito ka lang naman para ipilit ulit sakin yung agreement diba? Ayoko ng bumalik ulit dun Sim. Atsaka nanjan ka naman diba? Bakit hindi na lang ikaw yung ipakasal sa babaeng yun since alam mong humawak ng kumpanya?"

"Hindi ito tungkol don kuya. Dad..."

Buong tapang kong pinapanood ang eksena nilang dalawa.

"Dad needs you. He's ill. He has a serious disease kuya. Please huwag mo na munang isipin yung agreement. Dad wants to see you kaya ako nandito."

This is terrible. Napa-upo na lamang si Simon at napasabunot sa sarili niya. Napatingin din ako sa kakambal niya na mukhang malungkot na pinahayag sa kapatid niya ang masamang balita tungkol sa ama nila.

I never thought that behind of Simeon's smiles earlier are all just a piece of disguise.

Si Simon naman, I suddenly felt guilt after I heard all his reasons. Pero kahit na! I hate him when he's running his bitchy attitude towards me.

But after I saw him here being sad all of a sudden, I pity him. I never saw him cry like this. He's different from the Simon who I know.
