Love Switch

Bryan's PoV

"Psst? Pa" rinig kong sambit ni Yuri kaya dinilat ko mata ko. Dito pa rin muna kami nagsstay sa apartment kasi dito pa muna gusto ni Yuri.

"Hmm?"

"Pa tayo ka dali" mahinang sambit niya kasi natutulog pa sa tabi ko si Felix

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Halika. Basta" sambit niya pulling me up and out the room. Nagkukusot pa ko ng mata when I saw the table setup

"Huh?" Takang sambit ko

"Surprise?" Sambit niya pulling out flowers in front of me

"Ma..."

"Lagi naman kasing ikaw may pasurprise pa kaya sabi ko this time ako naman..."

"Ma 🥺" sambit ko pa ulit sa kanya

"Give and take na tayo this time... alam ko wala naman ako mabibigay in terms of finance pero naisip ko at least in small little ways gaya neto ehh mapagsilbihan ko future asawa ko di ba?"

"Mama why'd you make me cry 🥺"

"Hindi ah. Hahaha seryoso ko don. Lika dali upo ka"

"Wit lang ma, five minutes" sambit ko sabay takbo sa banyo. Gosh di pa ko naghihilamos I look like a monster eww.

Narinig ko na lang natawa si Yuri sa inasta ko.

Pinag-uusapan namin that we'd have a simple wedding, kahit daw by judge na lang para hindi niya kailangan maggown and all kasi syempre in Ph wala namang lgbt type of wedding unless magcross dress kami at magpakaguy and girl for a day.

Syempre kung ako masusunod eh dadalhin ko sila ni Felix abroad tapos dun kami magwwedding. Pero ayaw ni ma, masyado daw magastos. She's so thrifty kahit sa pera ko. And I totally understand that pero syempre di pa rin tayo papakabog no. Money is meant to be used.

"Okay na?" Sambit niya pagbalik ko na tinanguan ko lang.

I sat down and so did she

"Ma, thank you..." sambit ko reaching out for her hands na inabot naman niya. We stared at each other for a while bago namin napagdesisyunan kumain. It's like a little date in the morning and I love it.

"Aga aga namang sore eyes!" Sambit ni Cath pagkalabas ng room

"Good morning love birds" ate Anji

"Ayy may date at home for today's video!" Jiro

Of course mawawala ba mga balahura. Kahit gaga mga yarn thankful ako kasi sila sinandalan ni Yuri while I was gone.

"Mga inggit hmp!" Sambit ko na lang

"Mama! Papa!" Sambit ni Felix running towards us na kinalong ko agad

"Good morning baby boy" bati ko dito

"Good morning papa!"

Felix... if it wasn't for him... I wouldn't have seen the better me... yung baklang responsable na kaya gawin lahat para maging masaya mag-ina niya.

I know Felix was an unexpected surprise pero... kung hindi dumating si Felix sa buhay ko maybe I'd still be a gay with no view or plans of the future maliban sa maghabol ng pagmamahal ng taong nabitawan ko.

"Bakit ka naiiyak? Huy haha" sambit ni Yuri wiping my face

"Papa what's wrong?" Sambit ni Felix na inilingan ko lang

"Masaya lang si papa nak... sobrang saya"

And of course... Yuri... Tomtom... my best friend and now... my future. Kung ako tatanungin mo 10 years ago? Never ko iisipin na magiging si Yuri yung mahal ko... but I'm glad we went through all those things together kasi... besides being gay and tomboy... I saw how it was possible to fall in love. Without any plans. Without anything to consider. Not even our gender. Naging gago ako sa kanya. And that's the biggest mistake I've ever done.

"Pa, ang aga aga umiiyak ka haha"

"Kasalanan mo!"

"What? Haha"

"Love you ma 🥺"

"Love you too pa" sambit ni Yuri so we gained vomiting motions from the audience wxcept our kid na tuwang tuwa

Alam namin madami pa magiging challenge especially for Felix because we're not like any other parents na straight pero sigurado ako na hindi yun ang magiging dahilan para bitawan ko mag-ina ko.

"Kainan na!" Sambit na lang ni Yuri pagkatapos.

This love story is nothing special even with our genders and roles switched over pero never ko ipagpapalit to sa kahit anong storya ng buhay na pwede kong maranasan. Love's a feeling and genders cannot define who you'd end up being with. Pag tumibok ang puso mo sa isang tao, kahit pa wala siya sa inimagine mong future mo, kung siya itinadhana sayo, sa kanya lang titibok ng malala ang puso mo.

Love Switch is literally a story of love with switched genders. To show how anything is possible. Love is love. Bakla ka man, tomboy, o straight. Maswerte ka pa rin pag naranasan mong magmahal. At nasa sayo pa rin ang bola kung ilalaban mo yun o hindi. But one thing's for sure, love has no switch that you can turn off immediately once it's on. Mapupundi oo, hihina, posible, pero mamamatay sa isang iglap? Imposibleng mangyari yon.

THE END
