The Substitute Boyfriend

The Proposal

"Are you satisfied with our dinner Baby?" Tanong ni Johnny nang tapos na silang kumain.

"Happy and satisfied Huggybear. No more guilt feelings. And to you dad, thank you dahil tinanggap mo ako para sa anak mo," wika ni Timmy.

"No problem Son. Love and trust each other. Magmahalan kayo habambuhay.'Wag niyo ng sundan ang nangyari sa pamilya natin. Kaya hindi na ako nag-asawa ulit kasi ayaw ko nang maulit ang hindi magandang nangyari sa pamilya natin," wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

"Yes Dad I promise, that's why at this moment I want you to be the witness on how much I love Timmy. I want to prove him that my love for him is forever," seryosong wika ni Johnny at hinawakan ang kamay ni Timmy.

Si Timmy naman ay nagtataka. Ano na namang sorpresa ang gagawin sa kanya ni Johnny? Ang una niya sorpresa ay ang daddy nito. Ngayon, ano naman kaya?

"Baby our love story is not an ordinary love story. I can say that it is one of the unique love stories. Before I met you I was head over heels with someone else. Then you came, became the villain and ruined my lovelife. I hated you very much and I promised to make your life a living hell. But one day I got mad at you and threw everything, you didn't know what to do you just hugged me. That's the time that I began to feel something for you. I felt comfort and peace in your hug. And as the time goes by that something I felt for you which is love grew more and more and I became addicted with your presence. I came to the point that I want to be with you always," mahabang litanya ni Johnny habang titig na titig kay Timmy.

Si Timmy naman ay nag-uumapaw ang puso sa saya. "H-huggybear I don't know what to say. I'm speechless."

"You don't have to say something Baby just listen to my confession. Just reserve your speech later because I will ask you something after this," wika ni Johnny hawak pa rin ang kamay ni Timmy. Tumango naman ang huli. Ipinagpatuloy ni Johnny ang pagsasalita. "We got the blessing of my father in our relarionship, now I want to seal our love for each other and bring our relationship to the next level Baby. In front of my Dad I want to ask you this very important question," tumigil muna si Johnny at huminga ng malalim.

Pigil naman ang hininga ni Timmy. Alam na niya kung ano ang itatanong ni Johnny sa kanya.

"Dad," wika ni Johnny at inilahad ang kamay. Binigay naman ni Mr. Nuñez kay Johnny ang maliit na kahon.
"Baby---will you marry me? Will you be my husband for the rest of my life?" Emosyonal na tanong ni Johnny kay Timmy habang inilalahad ang nakabukas na kahon na may lamang singsing.

Nangingilid ang luha na sumagot si Timmy. "With all my heart, it's a big YES Huggybear," yumakap at humalik si Timmy kay Johnny. Hindi na siya nahihiya na nandiyan si Mr. Nuñez. Ang pakiramdam niya ay nasa ulap siya sa sobrang saya. Masaya naman si Mr. Nuñez sa nakikita.

"Yes!Yes!Yes! I'm the happiest man as of this moment. Thank you Lord!" Paikot ikot na binuhat ni Johnny si Timmy sa balikat niya .

"Huggybear put me down nahihilo na ako," wika ni Timmy.

Tumigil si Johnny at binaba si Timmy. "Ang saya ko talaga! Dad maraming salamat sa tulong mo," baling ni Johnny sa daddy niya.

"You're welcome Son. It's my pleasure to help you. Congratulations sa inyong dalawa. By the way Timmy dala mo ba 'yong mga susi na regalo ko sa'yo?" Tanong ni Mr. Nuñez.

"Yes Dad, 'yan nga sana ang itatanong ko sayo," sagot ni Timmy.

"Let's go downstairs, I'll show you something," wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

Magkaakbay na sumunod ang dalawa sa kanya.

Pumunta sila ng garahe. Itinuro ni Mr. Nuñez kay Timmy ang bagong kulay itim na sasakyan. "I-try mong isuksok yong may kaparehong susi. Try to open it. Kapag mabuksan mo mapapasaiyo ang kotse," nakangiting wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

Napailing na binuksan ni Timmy ang kotse. Kotse ang regalo sa kanya ni Mr. Nuñez. "Dad, this is too much. Sobrang mahal naman ng regalo mo."

"I want to share my blessings with you. Magagamit mo 'yan kapag magtatrabaho ka na," wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

"Binyagan na natin 'yan Baby," wika ni Johnny.

"I don't know how to drive," wika ni Timmy.

"I will teach you," sagot ni Johnny.

"May isa pa akong sorpresa. Guys follow me," wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

Pumunta naman sila sa maindoor. Binuksan, inilock at isinara ni Mr. Nuñez ang pinto.

"Timmy open the door with the other key I gave you," utos ni Mr. Nuñez.

Binuksan naman ni Timmy ang pinto at bumukas ito. "This is my another gift to you but you are not only the owner of this house. You have a partner, that's why I gave you only one key because the other key is with your partner. Your partner is non other than your fiance, Johnny," wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

Ipinakita ni Johnny ang susi na kapareho ng kay Timmy. "This is our house Baby. This is our gift from Dad."

"Thanks Dad. I thank God for giving me a very generous family," emotional ulit na wika ni Timmy.

"I built this house one year ago for Johnny and for his future wife but later on I found out that he is gay so this house was for him and his future husband. I gave it to you because you are the future husband," paliwanag ni Mr. Nuñez.

"Thanks again Dad," wika ni Timmy.

"Thanks Dad for the gift," wika ni Johnny.

"No problem my Sons. I'll go home now para makapagpahinga na kayo," wika ni Mr. Nuñez.

"Ok Dad, drive safely. Bye," wika ni Johnny.

"Bye Dad, ingat sa pag-uwi," wika naman ni Timmy.

Pag-alis ni Mr. Nuñez ay bumalik sila sa rooftop. Humiga sila sa higaan na nasa rooftop. Nalinis na ang mga pinagkainan nila kanina ng kasambahay. "Baby gusto kong dito na lang tayo hanggang mag-umaga. Gusto kung panoorin ang sunrise," wika ni Johnny.

"Ikaw ang bahala Huggybear. Gusto ko ring panuorin ang bukang-liwayway. Matulog na tayo. Goodnight Huggybear," wika ni Timmy.

"Baby bago ako maggoodnight sa'yo may gusto lang akong sabihin na hindi ko nasabi ng magpropose ako kanina," wika ni Johnny.

"Ano yon Huggybear?" Tanong ni Timmy.

"I LOVE YOU, BABY!" wika ni Johnny at niyakap si Timmy.

"I LOVE YOU TOO, HUGGYBEAR!" sagot ni Timmy at niyakap rin si Johnny.

They kissed each other passionately. Their first kiss as fiance.

Natulog silang magkayakap. Bukas paggising nila haharapin na nila ang bagong chapter ng kanilang buhay na magkasama.
