Mark's PoV

"Ang masasabi ko na lang sa inyong dalawa since ang labo din ng gusto niyong malaman, ehh where ba you guys happy? Hiding your relationship? As if you're only best of friends? O ang mailabas lahat ng feels niyo out the window? That you can show the real care and love you have for each other?"

"Hindi ko alam pano"

"Ayy sino ba nakakaknows how? Aketch nga papshie ko nakaramdam, siya pa nagtanong!"

"What was his reaction?"

"Ano nga ba? Uhm. Sakin na lang yon. Lol. Basta hindi siya nagalit. The fact that I have gay titos as well"

"Hays"

"You'll never know if you never try, you guys. Hindi naman tayo madam auring to know the future so the only way for you to free yourself is to try and free yourself, okii??"

"Mark... don't think too much okay?"

"Enrico, wala akong problema sa side ko. Kasi wala silang pakialam sakin, pero sina tita? Parents mo?"

"I'm sure they'll understand"

"If not?"

"Then so be it"

"I love your fighting spirit!! Top ka talaga!!"

"Shut it"

"Edi shut. Taray. Menopause? Hmp"

"Tsk"

"Oh siya siya. Basta you come to me if you need chika or advise whatsoever pero yun lang sa ngayon, let yourself out, be happy"

"Salamat Brax"

"No worries. I gotchu!"

Pagkatapos naming makipag-usap kay Brax lumabas na kami ng SC office.

"Mark"

"Oh?"

He held my shoulders to face him

"Hindi ka naman basta susuko satin di ba?"

"H-ha?"

"Kahit di mo sabihin sakin, alam ko natatakot ka Mark"

"Sino bang hindi?"

He sighed "basta. Kaya natin to okay? Let's just let people whatever they want to think. Mahalaga mahal natin ang isa't isa" he told me those words holding my face and leaning closer

"Enrico?"

Naitulak ko siya bigla when a girl's voice came. Pagtingin namin kung sino... si Merida.

"Rico... can we talk?"

"Merida hindi mo ba talaga ako titigilan?"

"Rico please? Just let me explain"

"What-" bago pa magwala si Enrico hinawakan ko na braso niya

"You guys need to talk Enrico. Alam mo yan"

"Pero-"

"Maghintay ako sa school gate" sabi ko sabay tapik ng braso niya

"Salamat Mark"

"Walang problema, Merida"

Umalis na ko dun pero pagdating ko sa school gate may isang babaeng nakatayo lang don pero pagkakita sakin bigla siyang sumigaw

"Baby ko!!!"

Lumingon ako sa likod ko pero wala namang tao. Pagharap ko nasa harapan ko na siya

"Sinong hanap mo?" Tanong niya

"H-ha?"

"Hi baby ko!!"

"B-baby?! Mo?!"

"Oo! Ikaw! Hi!"

What the fck?
