Emonieli Stories

Eli was 17 when Ramon took him in off the streets. Hindi niya alam kung awa lang ba 'yon o dahil may sariling sugat din si Ramon na gusto niyang takpan by helping someone else. Now, three years later, they live like father and son-sort of. No labels. No legal adoption. Just a quiet understanding. But the longer they live together, the more confusing things get. The comfort becomes intimacy. The concern becomes obsession. And late-night conversations turn into moments that linger too long. Neither of them knows how to name what they feel. They only know it shouldn't be this complicated. (Picture not mine credit to the rightful owner)
