This Time, It's Real

This Time It's Real: CHAPTER 17

After a month, Chris finally decided to break his silence. Tinext nya na si Gino.

Chris to Gino:
Pare, kamusta..Alam ko naman kung bakit ka biglang naghibernate. you don't have to explain. Pare, kaibigan kita. I hope you've finally thought about your situation. Whatever it is, hindi magbabago tingin ko sayo. Just be true to yourself at wag mong pahirapan ang sarili mo

Ang tagal bago nagreply ni Gino. mga 2 hours..oo matagal na yun. eto ang reply nya:

Thanks pare. Pasensya na if bigla kitang pinasahan ng trabaho without explanation. but im going home tomorrow. Siguro, usap tayo?

Kinabukasan nga, umuwi na si Gino. Well, wala naman syang pinagbago..ganun pa rin..pero parang imbes na fresh sya dahil 1 month syang nagbakasyon, e parang haggardness sya..at yun agad ang napansin ni Chris..So, sa bahay ni Gino, eto ang eksena.

Chris: Pare, finally..you're back..bakit parang you look pale and mas namayat ka..are you on drugs?

Gino: Pare ano ka ba..of course not..gago ka talaga. yan talaga ang tanong mo saken na..

Chris: E magkwento ka na kasi. malapit na kitang hindi maintindihan e.

Gino: (after a long pause, mga 10 minutes..ay masyadong mahaba, 5 minutes pause) Ok, I tried..I tried to stop it. I trid to stop what I'm feeling..

Chris: Why? you don't have to..you don't have to stop yourself from loving me..I love you too bro.. (serious looking si Chris dito while saying these words, waiting for reaction from Gino)

Gino: Yuck..tangina naman pare..seryoso ba to?

Chris: Ahahahahahaha...of course Im kidding..ikaw ang seryoso..1 buwan ka nanh seryoso..pucha ilabas mo yan..nakakapikon ka na ha..hahaha

Gino: (sumisigaw na sya dito) OK! DAMN! I TRIED TO STOP MY FEELINGS FOR RONNIE. PERO I FAILED. I LEFT BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAWAWALA DIN TO PAG DI KO SYA NAKIKITA BUT ALL THE MORE THAT IM LONGING TO SEE HER..HIM..FUCK WHATEVER..YES. IM IN LOVE WITH RONNIE. IM IN LOVE WITH A MAN A TRANSGENDER.AND YES THEN THAT MAKES ME GAY..HAPPY NOW BRO?

Ramdam ni Chris ang overflowing feelings ni Gino. so hinayaan lang muna nya humupa. maya maya, nagsalita na sya.

Chris: Bro, when I tell you I love you, I mean it. and I don't mean romantic love..parang magkapatid na tayo and ramdam ko na yang piangdadaanan mo. Kung nagdesisyon ka na mahal mo, kahit bakla pa yun, go ahead and tell the person. kesa nagkakaganyan ka. i won't judge you bro..I will look at you the same way as before. And if  the person loves you back, ill be happy for you. So, ill just wait for your next move I guess?
