Gabriel
I stepped inside our home, narinig ko ang malalakas na tawanan sa dining area at doon palang ay alam kong nandito ang buong pamilya ko. They're probably having fun without me. I tried to went to my room quietly para hindi nila malamang nandito na ako pero my brother caught me.
"Gabriel! Come here, let's eat." He said. I sighed deeply before walking towards the dining area. I looked at them at doon ko nakita ang magagandang ngiti nila noong makita nila ako, they're staring at me na parang ngayon lang nila ako muling nakita.
"Are you drunk nanaman? Your cheeks are pinkish eh..." My sister said pero agad akong umiling at tinakpan ang pisngi ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit namumula ang pisngi ko pero isang tao lang ang pumasok sa isip ko na pwedeng maging dahilan. Si Kei.
"Come here baby, sit next to ate." Liane said before giving me a sweet smile. Agad naman akong tumango at sumunod sa sinabi niya. My mother and father are looking at me dahil hindi ko man lang sila nagawang batiin.
I sighed deeply bago muling tumayo at pinatakan ng halik ang noo ng nanay kong kanina pa nakatingin saakin. She smiled when I stood up and came close to her. While dad, I looked at him and he signals me to go back to sit and so I did.
They continued talking to each other pati na rin ang tawanan, I started eating habang naiipit sa ingay nilang tatlo, My mom, my brother and sister. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened to me and Kei. He's mine, he's finally mine.
Umuwi ako para sabihin sa mga kapatid ko pero noong makita kong kumpleto kami I felt my heart sank, I know Kei would be sad if I didn't tell them agad, but I am still not ready. Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa o kakayanin ko bang sabihin sakanila.
"Gabriel." My father's voice took back into reality. My eyes widened at unti unting iniangat ang ulo ko para tignan silang apat. They're looking at me kaya nakaramdam ako muli ng takot at hiya.
I sighed deeply bago pumikit at nagisip. I have to tell them, hindi na ako dapat nagpapakain sa mga nararamdaman ko, I need to tell them and I will tell them right now. Muli kong ibinalik ang atensyon ko sakanila at mahigpit na hinawakan ang kamay ng mga kapatid ko.
"I-i have something to say... P-please listen to me first bago niyo ako pagsabihan..." I said. I tried saying it straight before hindi ko napigilang mautal-utal. Mas lalong humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa kamay ni Luan and he squeezed my hands letting me know that he's listening.
"What is it bunso?" My mother asked making me even more scared and worried. Tinignan ko siya bago ako muling huminga ng malalim at inayos ang upo. I have to look tough para hindi nila makita na nahihirapan akong sabihin ang salitang gusto nang lumabas sa bibig ko.
"I am... I am already in a relationship with someone, his name is Kei." Mabilis kong sabi at muling bumalik ang tingin sakanilang apat. Liane's mouth dropped open same with Luan and my mother. I looked at my father and he was glaring at me.
"He's everything I've ever wanted, he's someone I've wished for, he's my light, and my everything... Please accept us." I said looking at my father straight to his eye. Hindi ko sinira ang pagtititigan namin dahil ayokong magpatalo sakanya. I don't care if he thinks that I should break up with Kei, hindi na niya ako mapipigilan pa rito.
"As long as you're happy, Gabriel." He said making me sigh out of relief. I could feel a huge burden getting lift off my shoulders. Hindi siya ganito palagi, palagi siyang humihindi sa mga desisyon ko sa buhay and this moment makes me want to scream and cry.
"Oh my baby... You should've bought him with you para mas nakilala pa namin siya!" My mother said as she placed a soft kiss on my cheeks while smiling. I tried asking Kei to come with me pero hindi siya pumayag dahil bukod sa nahihiya siya, natatakot din siya.
"You know, Liane would be all happy and hyper to meet him. Antagal na niyang naghihintay na may ipakilala ka saamin." Luan said smiling at me. Both of them had introduced someone to us already but it ended up not working for the both of them. Siguro malas lang talaga sila sa pagibig.
"Ofcourse I'd love to meet him! Kapag may time siya invite him here sa bahay!" Liane said being all giggly and smiley. My heart is melting by how they're so happy for me after knowing that I am in a relationship with someone. I'd never thought they'd accept me, us. But here we are.
"I'll try my best to ask him to come with me." I responded while giving them a smile. Liane and Luan answered with a nod before they smiled at me. Agad na rin namin itinuloy ang pagkain para makapagpahinga na rin.
After all of us finished eating I quickly went into my room to take a shower and change into something comfortable. While drying my hair Kei messaged me making me smile widely ear to ear. Only him could make me look like this. I love him so much.
From Kei:
Hi ^__^ how'd it go?
From Jaze:
Hello, Mahal ko. It went well... They love you, my brother, sister, and my mom wants to meet you.
From Kei:
Hala, what did you tell them? I feel so guilty tuloy sana hindi na ako naginarte at sumama nalang ako sayo : (
From Jaze:
Don't apologize, Mahal. It's fine, kung ayaw mong sumama I wouldn't force you to come with me.
From Kei:
Next time, sasama na ako sayo, Promise!
From Jaze:
I know you will. You should go and take a rest, it's getting pretty late. I'll come visit you tomorrow, okay?
From Kei:
Okay! I'll go take a rest now, Lovey! I love you!
From Kei:
HAHAHAHAHAHS OMG KINIKILIG AKO?!?!??
From Jaze:
You're too cute. Goodnight, Mahal ko. I love you,
From Jaze:
More than anyone and anything.
I turned off my phone after I sent the message, I turned off the light and laid on my bed. I was trying to get myself to sleep pero hindi ko makalimutan ang mga pangyayari ngayong araw, everything feel so magical. And I am falling inlove with it every single minute.
My eyes started feeling heavy until I drifted away and finally slept. But someone called me, I opened my eyes to see that I am in a garden, I've been here, I know this place. I looked around at meron akong nakitang beach hindi kalayuan, that beach is also familiar.
"Lovey!" I heard a very familiar voice, I turned look at him and he was smiling and running around while waiting for me to chase him. My eyes widens when I saw him.
"Kei..." I whispered. He stopped to look at me, he smiled while tears are escaping his eyes. He waved goodbye to me. I couldn't move my body, I couldn't run, or go to him. Ang hirap.
"I love you, now and forever, Jaze." The words he said before I was completely awoken. Agad akong tumingin sa oras at halos tatlong oras na akong tulog. I wanted to call him but I couldn't, ayokong abalahin na siya.
The guy, in my dream, he's real, he's here, and he's Kei.
