WIN
I would not deny that meeting Francis somehow affected me. Akala ko ay napaka-humble niya sa personal, turns out, kabaliktaran pala.
Throughout the ride, I remained silent. Ren, being thoughtful, checked on me from time to time to see if I was okay. Tumatango lang naman ako sa kaniya kahit na deep inside, naiinis pa rin ako sa Francis na 'yon.
It was 11 AM when we arrived at Enchanted Island in Davao. Ren parked the car, and we planned to have a light meal for lunch. Baka kasi masuka-suka kami mamaya kapag sumubok kami ng mga rides.
We just ate at the pizza house where he ordered one large pizza and two frappes for drinks. Sabay naming pinagsaluhan 'yon. There were moments when people noticed Ren and politely asked for pictures. Suportado niya naman ako kaya kahit ako ang partner niya, na hindi naman nila alam, ay nagsilbi akong photograper everytime na may lalapit at magre-request ng litrato sa kaniya.
Sabi ni Sir Lex, mas maganda kung lay low lang ang relationship namin ni Ren para hindi ako madawit sa iba't ibang issue sa industriya. It's also his way of protecting me from paparazzi, which I would agree with. I appreciate Sir Lex and Ren's genuine motives, but a part of me wasn't really happy with that setup. Naiisip ko lang na kung iyong iba ngang queer couple ay masayang nabo-broadcast ang relasiyon nila, bakit hindi pwede kay Ren? Dahil rising star siya at makakasira ba sa imahe niya 'yon? No. I don't get it. Kahit saan ko tingnan, hindi ko pa rin makuhang sumang-ayon sa kanila.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated, and I hoped it was a message from Warren. When I checked my phone, I was surprised to see nothing but a news notification on the banner.
BL actors Rendy Hiseo and Francis Anderson got into a fight with an unknown individual who was defending the rumored partner of Rendy.
"Are you okay?"
Napaangat ako ng tingin matapos marinig si Ren. I didn't hesitate to show him the notification that appeared on my phone.
"Is this true? Kaya ba may pasa si Francis sa panga ay dahil nakisali siya sa pambubugbog kay Warren?" dire-diretso kong lintanya sa kaniya.
"Win, maniniwala ka ba agad sa mga haka-haka online?" sagot niya sa akin. "We are here to enjoy ourselves, not to fight!"
I sighed in defeat. He has a point. Mainis man ako, nangingibabaw pa rin ang kagustuhan kong sulitin ang mga oras na kasama siya ngayon.
I swiped away the notification and turned off my phone. Ibinalik ko 'yon sa bulsa ko at pinagpatuloy na lang ang pagkain. I couldn't help but to think of Warren. Hindi ko naman ito maibahagi kay Ren dahil alam kong may galit pa rin sila sa isa't isa ng best friend ko.
