IN A TRAIN STATION, IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CAPITAL ...
The doors of the train wagon closed quickly and, just a few seconds later, we began to move along the old and battered tracks.
The passengers, some sitting in their seats while others - like me - were already waiting, while standing, for their stop to come, were watching the landscape through the windows, reading a book or, the vast majority, looking at their mobiles with a sleeping expression on their faces.
I, on the other hand, could barely keep myself still.
After all...today ... today was the day when the love of my life was to going to get engaged... to a person that is not me.
To a young man with whom, apparently, he had just only been dating for a couple of months ... To someone who could not known him as I do, who could not loved him as much as I do... as I had always loved him.
- "Krist ..." - I whispered as I looked down at the magazine that, this same morning and after leaving home, had brought me to euphoria and that ... in the end ... it had led me to the most absolute desolation.
"Why, Krist ...?" I wondered for the umpteenth time while watching the beautiful face of the young man who, for so many years, had been the love of my life and my co-worker.
Yes, Krist and I had worked together ... we had shared so many things ... thousands of fans had dreamed of seeing us as a couple, but ...
"Never ... you never took into account my insinuations ... you never, even, let us know that you also liked men ..."
That, without a doubt, was the worst part in all of this...
The knowledge that ... that I never said anything so it wouldn't affect our friendship.
The knowledge that ... besides his ex girlfriend, with whom he had been so many years, he was now with someone else ... and that he had not told anyone.
Not even his best friends ..
- "And to think that I was so happy ..." - I whispered as a tear slid down my cheek and fell on the photograph of two men who, holding hands, were smiling at the camera with joy and happiness.
Quickly, I dried it the best I could and finally, I looked back at the interview title ...
"Great Actor acknowledges being bisexual !!!"
I growled under my breath, cursing myself for how my heart had skipped a beat in my chest after reading, for the first time, that brief headline.
As, for a few seconds, I had believed that ... that I was finally going to have a chance ... that, finally, I would be able to tell my feelings to the boy that, since I saw him for the first time, populated my dreams and desires ...
His lips..
His light skin ...
His black eyes ...
Everything made me love him and desire him with a force I had never known before ...
But he had a girlfriend and I ... I wasn't going to get in their relationship, much less when he might well have no interest in someone of the same sex.
What if he started to hate me?
What if he walked away from me?
I didn't want that ... I didn't want that at all!
So I had shut up ... and accepted what he seemed willing to give me ... his friendship.
- "I was a fool!" - I exclaimed while squeezing the magazine with my right hand - "A complete idiot!"
After all... while I was trying to maintain our friendship ... someone else had approached him. Someone who had spoken to him about love ... that had made him distance himself from his friends ... from me!
"But no more ... no more!" I swore to myself at the exact moment when, with a slight squeak, the train doors opened quickly.
We had reached my stop ...
Fifteen minutes later I was in front of the wide doors of the hotel where Krist and that ... that man, were going to celebrate their engagement with their families and closest friends.
Friends who were not of the group ....
Friends whom he had known thanks to Him ... his boyfriend.
- "He has done everything he could to separate us ... so that I could not approach him ... but I won't lose!" - I whispered while, with determined steps, climbed the staircase that led to the hall of the building.
Luckily, and thanks to the importance of the reception and the people who were gathered there, several signs had been placed indicating the room were the ceremony was going to take place.
Almost running, I headed towards that spacious room ...

As soon as I walked through the door, my eyes began to travel quickly through the place until I noticed a figure who, dressed in white, was greeting several relatives with a wide smile on his face.
- "At last..."
As there, just a few meters away, was Krist ... My Krist.
With agile steps I headed towards him but, just before I could even speak to him, a hand was placed on his arm.
A hand that made him get near a muscular body while causing his cheeks to flush preetily.
- "My love .... It's time"
Krist smiled and nodded.
However ... what ended up stabbing my battered heart were the words and the expression of love that Krist addressed to that damn man ... an expression that ... that I could never placed on his face ... not even when we were at our best.
- "I'm glad ... I can't wait for everyone to know that you're mine" - Krist had said, in a velvety voice, as he got near the man's face and deposited a brief kiss on his cheek - "I love you".
