Aiden's Point of ViewSabay kaming bumalik ng classroom ni Wyatt. Lahat ng mata ng mga kaklase namin ay nasa amin ang tingin, ngunit tulad ng dati ay hindi ko iyon pinagtuunan ng pansin. Umupo ako sa upuan ko at gano'n din si Wyatt. Ilang minuto pang lumipas ay narinig ko ang boses ni Wyatt sa malapitan. Nang lingunin ko ang katabi ko sa upuan ay nakita kong nakatayo sa gilid niya si Wyatt. Teka, h'wag mong sabihin na makikipag palit siya ulit ng upuan ngayong okay na kami? Nang mapansin ako ni Wyatt na nakatingin sa kaniya ay nginitian niya ako. Hindi ko alam pero bigla na lang ako umiwas ng tingin."Let's exchange seats, hmm?" Sabi ni Wyatt sa katabi ko.Tumunog ang upuan, siguro ay tumayo ang nakaupo sa tabi ko. Para malaman kung tama nga ba ang nasa isip ko ay lumingon ako ro'n. Ngunit imbes na mukha ng seat mate ko ang makita ko, ang mukha ni Wyatt ang sumalubong sa'kin. Malapad ang ngiti niya sa labi, ilang segundo pa akong nakatitig sa kaniya hanggang sa bigla ko ulit maramdam

Aiden's Point of View"Bakit ka ba nagagalit sa'kin?" Tanong ko, nagsisimula na mainis sa kaniya.He scoffed, "Tinatanong mo talaga ako kung bakit? Hindi pa ba halata kung ano ang ikinagagalit ko?""Wala naman akong ginagawa!" Pagtatanggol ko sa sarili.Umismid siya at umiwas ng tingin, "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say."I bit my lower lip and held my tears back. Why is he so mad? Hindi ko naman talaga siya iniiwasan, 'yung kamay niya lang naman ang iniiwasan ko. Palibhasa hindi niya alam ang nararamdaman ko kaya niya nasasabi 'yun. Hindi niya alam na para na akong mababaliw tuwing gabi kaiisip kung bakit ako nagkakaganito. Iyong sa tuwing magkakatitigan kami ay bumibilis ang tibok ng puso ko na dati naman ay hindi ko nararamdaman. At sa tuwing magkakadikit lang kami saglit ay nakararamdam na ako ng kuryente sa katawan na kahit na minsan ay hindi ko pa naranasan.For a moment of silence, my tears finally fell down. I sobbed, and when Wyatt heard it he immediately turned to me. Nakatingal
Aiden's Point of View"Aiden, can we talk?"Tumingala ako at nakita ko si Danica. Nakayuko siya at pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri niya."Sure," sagot ko."Uhm, pwede ba tayo pumunta sa tahimik na lugar? 'Yung tayong dalawa lang ang tao," sabi niya.Tumayo ako, "Okay."Tumango siya at nagsimula na maglakad. Sumunod lang ako sa kaniya palabas ng classroom. Napansin ko na nakasunod ang titig ni Hans sa'ming dalawa ni Danica pero pinagsawalang bahala ko na lang 'yun. Si Wyatt ay wala pa sa classroom baka ma-late siya sa pagpasok. Mukhang lasing na talaga kasi siya kagabi.Dinala ako ni Danica sa rooftop. Pagpasok namin doon ay agad niyang sinarado ang pinto. Nakatingin lamang ako sa kaniya habang inaantay siyang magsalita. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat naming pag-usapan. Tungkol ba 'to sa nakita ko kagabi? Kung concern siya na ipagkakalat ko ang tungkol do'n, well safe siya dahil wala naman akong close sa klase namin. At wala rin naman akong makukuhang maganda kung ipagkakalat ko 'yun
Aiden's Point of ViewNilabas ko ang phone ko at ni-message si Wyatt.To: Wyatt,Danica will come over. Are you coming?Pagtapos kong i-send 'yun ay inaantay kong tignan ni Wyatt ang phone niya. Maya-maya lang ay sinilip niya ang phone niya ngunit hindi siya nagreply.Of course, he's on a date.Nagpatuloy ako sa paglakad papunta sa fast food para doon kumain ng almusal. Pagkatapos kumain ay bumalik na ako sa condo para maglinis. Nakakahiya naman kung maabutan ni Danica na marumi ang silid. Hinanda ko na rin sa lamesa ang mga workbooks na sasagutan ko para magsasagot na lang kami agad pagdating niya.Habang naghihintay sa pagdating ni Danica ay ni-open ko ang laptop ko at nag post sa isang web site."I need help. I can't figure it out so I need to post it here. I'm a guy and I have a guy best friend. One time, we kissed and after that day I had strange feelings. Whenever I look at him, my heart will race. Every time we touch I feel electricity flowing all over my body. And when I saw h
Wyatt's Point of ViewBakit pumasok ngayon sa eskwelahan si Aiden? Halatang masama pa rin ang pakiramdam niya. Pinilit niya ba ang sarili niyang pumasok kahit na alam niyang hindi maganda ang pakiramdam niya? I'm concerned but I don't want to approach him. After what happened at the bar, I know that his perspective towards me changed.I just want Danica to stay away from Aiden that's why I kissed her. I don't want her near him, not because I like her and I'm jealous. It's because, I only want myself to be near Aiden and no one else. Ayokong may ibang special sa buhay niya bukod sa'kin at sa pamilya. Wala silang alam sa buhay ni Aiden kaya wala silang karapatan lapitan siya. Ako lang... Ako lang dapat.Kahapon noong hindi siya pumasok ay palihim akong pumunta sa condo niya. Hindi ko na siya ginising dahil ayokong makita niya ako, baka sabihin niya na nanghihimasok ako sa buhay niya. Alam ko naman na iba ang pinupunto niya noong sinabi niya sa'kin na, "We all have privacy. That's your l
Wyatt's Point of View"Why? You don't like my kiss?" I asked, seriously. "Hindi ba ako magaling?""Ano b-bang pinagsasabi mo? Tumigil kana sa kalokohan mo, may klase tayo ngayon," bumaba siya sa kama, palabas na siya ng kwarto nang ma-out of balance siya.Agad akong tumayo at dinaluhan siya para alalayan tumayo.Pinatunog ko ang dila ko, "Tsk. H'wag kana kasing magmatigas. Kung hindi mo kaya, h'wag mo na pilitin pa ang sarili mo.""Paano kung bumagsak ang mga grado ko?" Tanong niya.Lumabas kami ng kwarto at dahan-dahan ko siyang pinaupo sa couch sa living room.Umupo ako sa tabi niya, "Isang araw ka lang naman a-absent hindi buong semester."He bowed his head, "Even so..."I heaved a sigh, "Just stay here with me, okay? I'll take care of you." I stood up and went to the kitchen to cook."What are you going to do?" Tanong niya.I turned to him, "Magluluto, ano ba sa tingin mo?"He just pouted and did not answer anymore. Samantalang ako naman ay tinuon na lamang ang atensyon sa paglulu
Wyatt's Point of ViewNang nilayo ko ang mukha ko sa kaniya ay nakita ko ang panlalaki ng mga mata niya dahil sa gulat, "You... You totally lost it." Sabi niya saka tinakpan ang kaniyang bibig.I giggled, "What?"He stood up, "I am a man, Wyatt!"I nodded and looked at him from toe to head, "And I can see that, Aiden.""You..." he clenched his fist, "Are you making fun of me?""What?" My brows furrowed, "Of course, not! Why would I do that to my lovely Aiden?"His face turned red in an instant, "Fuck you. Shut up!" He yelled.Kinagat ko ang pang ibaba kong labi para pigilan ang pag ngiti. Pwede ba siyang magalit nang hindi nagmumukhang cute? Goodness. "Are you trying to say that I mustn't kiss you because you're a man?" I asked."Exactly!" He answered. "What do you think would others say if they see us?"I tilted my head, "Who set such rules? I can kiss you whenever and wherever I want.""Hindi na maganda ang biro mo, Wyatt," he uttered and sat down again. "Okay, okay. I won't kiss
Aiden's Point of ViewThe air was alive with laughter and celebration as the party kicked into full swing. The clinking of glasses, the upbeat music, and the joyous chatter filled the room, creating a vibrant atmosphere that enveloped us all. It was a night to revel in the bonds of friendship and the beauty of love.As I looked around, my heart swelled with gratitude for the incredible people who surrounded me. Wyatt, my loving and supportive husband, stood by my side, his eyes reflecting the happiness that radiated from within. Vj, our son, had blossomed into a remarkable young man, sharing the joy of his life with his beautiful wife, their love serving as a reminder of the precious gift of family.Yuan, Jacob, and Hans, my dearest friends, were there too, their presence as a testament to the enduring bond we had forged through the years. They were accompanied by their wives, who had become integral parts of our tight-knit circle, adding their own unique spark to the evening's festiv
Jacob's Point of ViewI remember the first time I laid eyes on her, sitting a few rows ahead in our college classroom. Her smile was like a ray of sunshine, and her laughter filled the air with a melody that instantly captivated me. Her name was Fiona, and little did I know that she would become my first love, and also the source of my deepest heartbreak.We were part of a close-knit group of friends during our first year of college, including Yuan, Hans, Aiden, and Wyatt. We spent countless hours together, sharing laughter, dreams, and the ups and downs of college life. But unbeknownst to them, my heart belonged to Fiona.One fateful day, as we gathered in the campus courtyard, asaksihan ko ang isang eksenang gumuho sa mundo ko. I saw Fiona and Yuan sharing an intimate moment, their lips locked in a passionate kiss. My heart sank, dahil hindi pa ako nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na ipagtapat ang nararamdaman ko kay Fiona, at ngayon naman I had to bear witness to my unrequited love being
Han's Point of ViewAs I sat in the bustling coffee shop, sipping on my latte, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing deep within my heart. Watching couples laugh, share tender moments, and exchange loving glances, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing in my life. Ang totoo, ako ay palaging isang walang pag-asa na romantiko, na naghahangad para sa malalim na koneksyon, na nakakapukaw ng kaluluwa na pag-ibig.My name is Hans, a dreamer with an insatiable thirst for adventure. I've traveled to far-off lands, climbed towering mountains, and immersed myself in diverse cultures, always searching for that spark of magic. But amidst all my wanderings, I had yet to find the one who would make my heart skip a beat.Little did I know that fate had its own plans for me that day. As I packed up my belongings, ready to venture back into the world, my gaze met a pair of captivating hazel eyes across the room. Pag-aari sila ng isang babae na naglalabas ng aura ng biyaya at mist
Aiden's Point of ViewTime passed, and the love between Wyatt and me continued to blossom, filling our days with joy and laughter. And as our story unfolded, a new chapter emerged—one that would forever change our lives.The sound of pitter-pattering footsteps echoed through our home, intermingled with giggles and the innocent curiosity that only a child possesses. Our son, Vj, filled our lives with boundless energy and immeasurable love. His presence was a testament to the beautiful union of our hearts and the gift of parenthood.Vj, with his wide, curious eyes and infectious smile, brought an entirely new dimension to our journey. Ang kanyang pagtawa ay umalingawngaw sa mga bulwagan, na nagbibigay-liwanag kahit sa pinakamadilim na araw sa kanyang masiglang espiritu.Together, we watched as our little explorer discovered the world, his tiny hands reaching out to touch everything within his grasp. We became his guides, nurturing his sense of wonder and encouraging him to chase his drea
Aiden's Point of ViewLife has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Wyatt and I embark on an unexpected adventure that takes us on a journey filled with excitement, laughter, and new discoveries. As we navigate uncharted territories together, we learn to embrace spontaneity and find joy in the unexpected twists and turns that life has to offer. This reminds us that sometimes the best moments in life are the ones we never saw coming.As the sun began to set on a warm summer evening, Wyatt and I found ourselves sitting on the porch, sipping our favorite cups of tea. We had just finished reminiscing about the wonderful memories we had created over the years when Wyatt turned to me with a mischievous glint in his eyes."You know what?" he said, a playful smile spreading across his face. "Let's do something completely out of the ordinary. Let's go on an adventure!"I looked at him, surprised yet intrigued by his suggestion. "An adventure? What do you have in mind?"Lumapit si Wya
Aiden's Point of ViewAs I sit here with Wyatt, reminiscing about the events that have led us to this point, I can't help but feel grateful for the wonderful life we've built together. It all started with a great night after getting back together. We realized how much we still loved each other and decided to make things work.A few months later, I resigned from my job and moved to the Philippines with Wyatt. We moved in together and began building a life together. We discussed the idea of starting a family and agreed that surrogacy was the best option for us.One day, Wyatt surprised me with a tearful proposal, and I couldn't have been happier to say yes. A few months later, we flew to Austria to get married, and it was the most beautiful day of our lives.My heart swelled with happiness as I looked at Wyatt standing at the altar, waiting for me. I couldn't believe that I was finally getting married to the love of my life. The memories of the day we got engaged rushed back to me as I
Warning: R-18-----Aiden's Point of View"W-Wait," tinulak ko ng bahagya si Wyatt para patigilin ito sa paghalik sa'kin. Na sa pintuan pa lamang kami ng apartment, baka may makakita sa'min kung dito namin gagawin ang bagay na 'to."But I can't wait, though," he pouted.I sighed. "Gusto mo bang may makakita sa'tin? Saglit lang, okay? Bubuksan ko lang itong pinto," aniya ko.He heaved a sigh, feeling defeated. "Okay, hurry up."Napangiti ako nang makita sa mukha niya na hindi na talaga siya makapaghintay pa. Pagbukas ko ng pinto, pumasok na kami, at habang nagtatanggal ako ng sapatos, sinarado ni Wyatt ang pinto. Sa'king pagkagulat, bigla na lamang akong umangat."Damn, hindi pa ako tapos magtanggal ng sapatos, Wyatt!" I exclaimed.Bumulong siya sa'kin na nakapagpataas ng balahibo ko, "Ako na ang magtatanggal para sa'yo kamahalan."Hindi na ako nakapagsalita pa at hinayaan na lamang siya na buhatin ako. Nang makarating sa kwarto, binagsak niya ako sa kama. Lumuhod siya at tinanggal ang
Wyatt's Point of ViewPagtapos ng gabi na 'yon, hindi nawala sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Regie. Bigla ko rin na-realize na simula no'ng nangyari sa'min ni Aiden ay naging malabo na rin ang relasyon naming dalawa na magpinsan.Hindi ko naman masisisi si Regie dahil valid naman talaga ang galit niya sa'kin. Ginago ko lang naman dati ang taong mahal niya, kung siguro sa akin nangyari 'yon, malamang na magiging gano'n din ang pakikitungo ko sa kaniya.Tanggap ko naman ang nagawa kong mali, pero sana naman makita rin niya o nila ang pagsisisi ko. Sana rin ma-feel nila ang effort na ginagawa ko at ang mga bagay na handa kong gawin para bumalik sa'kin si Aiden.Hindi ko na alam kung paano i-express pa ang sarili ko sa kanila, kung paano ko pa mapatutunayan sa kanila na totoo ang nararamdaman ko para sa kaniya. Hindi naman na ako bata, alam ko na kung ang feelings ko ay panandalian lang o hindi.I hope that they will notice my efforts, and I also hope that things can get back to the way they wer
Wyatt's Point of ViewI let go of his hand and went to the couch to get my wallet. I folded the blanket he gave me and put it on the couch. When I turned to him, he was still standing there, facing the door of the bathroom. I took a deep breath and walked toward him. I held his shoulders and made him turn to me."Sorry, I won't be able to eat your cook. Maybe next time?" I smiled as I said that."Do you...really have to go now?" He asked, looking down at the floor."Yeah, I don't want to see you mad," I replied. "And I'm sorry for this. This... isn't intentional.""I cook for two people; it will be a waste if you go now," he responded.My hand on his shoulder freezes. Why does it seem like he doesn't want me to go home? Damn."Will Luca not be coming home?" I asked, trying to confirm what I thought was right.He sighed. "Nevermind. If you're going, then go," he said. He was about to walk past me when I immediately grabbed his arm."You can just ask me to stay if you don't want me to g
