LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER (LGBT)

LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER

"Here's now your order, Ma'am. Enjoy your meal."

I am now here in the fast food restaurant, eating alone 'cause my boyfriend, Gerald  had an appointment with his client.

While I was eating, napatingin naman ako sa isa pang restaurant na kaharap lang mismo ng restaurant kung nasa'n ako kumakain ngayon.

At nagulat naman ako nang makita ko si Gerald na bumaba sa kaniyang kotse at pinagbuksan ang isang...

"Lalaki?" I whispered while my eyes widened.

I took a deep breath and shook my head. "It's his client. Wala kang dapat ikatakot."

But when I looked at them again, I saw them holding each other's hand while Gerald kissed the forehead of a guy.

"W-What the..."

After that day, nagsimula ng maging cold si Gerald sa akin. Sinusundan ko na rin siya palagi kung saan siya pupunta at malalaman ko nalang na palagi pala siyang pumupunta sa bahay ng bakla niyang kabit, but I didn't tell him about his mistress and the real him dahil gusto ko siya mismo ang magsabi sa akin.

Not until one day...

"Therese, c-can I talk to you privately?" he asked me.

I nodded. "O-Oo naman, babe."

After I answered his question, we went to a quiet place.

"Babe, a-ano pala ang sasabihin mo?" I asked him.

"Therese, alam mo namang mahal kita 'di ba? Alam mo nama-"

"Stop it. Alam ko na. Alam ko nang makikipaghiwalay ka sa akin. Alam ko ring, may kabit ka. Alam ko ring bakla ka," I cut him off.

He's eyes got widened. "How did y-you know?"

"I saw you 2 weeks ago with your gay mistress. You held his hand and kissed him in the forehead. I also see your eyes that you really love that gay." I held his hand and smiled bitterly. "Gerald, naiintindihan kita. If you really love that gay then, go be with him. Be with your real love."

"B-But-"

"It's okay, Gerald. Don't worry about me 'cause I'm okay. 'Di ba sabi mo, 'pag mahal mo ang isang tao, ipaglalaban mo at ngayon, pinaglaban mo na siya." I feel my tears slowly escaped from my eyes. "Gerald, sobrang sakit. Sobrang sakit dahil minahal kita eh, but of course, mahal kita at gusto kong makita kang masaya kasi magiging masaya lang ulit ako kung magiging masaya ka rin kahit 'di na sa piling ko, kahit sa piling na niya."

He hugged me tight. "Thank you, Therese. Thank you 'cause you understand my situation. I'm really so thankful na ikaw 'yong naging girlfriend ko na talagang makakaintindi sa akin. Thank you, Therese. I love you."

I smiled at him. "I love you too, Gerald."

He wiped my tears and kissed my for the last time.

"Salamat talaga, Therese."

"Go na. Puntahan mo na siya at iparamdam mo sa kaniyang mahal na mahal mo talaga siya. Basta 'wag mo siyang lolokohin dahil kapag nalaman kong niloko mo siya, ako mismo ang bubugbog sa'yo."

He chuckled and nodded. "Sige, pupuntahan ko na siya."

After that, agad niyang pinuntahan ang mahal niya at iniwan akong mag-isa na nagmamahal sa kaniya.

I bowed down my head at ipinagpatuloy ang pag-iyak.

"Are you okay, Miss?" someone asked me.

I looked up and met the eyes of a girl. The moment I met her eyes, I feel my heart beat so fast like what I always feel when I saw Gerald.

I smiled at her. "Thank you for asking, b-but don't worry about me 'cause I-I'm okay."

"I know you're not. Do you need someone to comfort you? Just tell me 'cause I will comfort you and give you an advice." She smiled at me. "Oh! By the way, I'm Beatriz and you're?"

"I-I'm Therese."

"Beautiful name like the owner." I laughed. "From now on, we're friends and I will be here to comfort you."

After that day, Beatriz always there for me to comfort me. She's always there, trying to make smile, to make laugh, to make me happy. Until, we fell in love with each other. Well, at first, it's so hard 'cause many people against in our relationship, but since we really love each other, we fight it and ignored that people.

And now, Beatriz is already my wife when the Priest said...

"I announced you both wives."
