Mr. Critic (Chapter 9)
Sa isang resort sa Anilao, Batangas ang punta namin. Nasa kalagitnaan na kami ng biyahe nang huminto ako sandali sa isang grocery store. “Hintayin mo ako rito, may bibilhin lang ako.” Tumango siya at ngumiti. Tinawagan ko na rin ang katiwala ko sa rest house na maghanda ng pagkain namin. Kaagad akong bumalik sa sasakyan […]
Mr. Critic (Chapter 7)
MAAGA akong gumayak papuntang opisina kinabukasan. Bitbit ang mga dokumento na ‘di ko na nagawa pang i-review. Magiliw akong nakipagbatian sa mga empleyado. Magkahalong saya at kaba ang namamayani sa aking dibdib. Masaya dahil sa nangyari sa amin ni Rapunzel kahapon at kaba dahil kay Reid. Hindi ko isusuko si Rapunzel sa kanya, pero ‘di […]
Mr. Critic (Chapter 6)
Palabas na ako ng shop ng salubungin ako nang may kalakasang tapik sa braso. “Huh?” gulat kong sambit habang iniaangat ang paningin sa tumapik. “Abnoy ka talaga, p’re,” saad ko. “Seryoso mo kasi. Ano ang ginagawa mo rito?” tanong ng kaharap ko. “Sinamahan ko si Mom. Ikaw bakit ka nandito?” “May binabalikan lang, nagbabakasakali,” malungkot […]
The Sunset Boy (Chapter 4)
THE disgusting sound of my alarm clock woke me up. It was ringing for almost ten minutes and I wasn’t really planning to get up. Gusto ko pa sanang matulog but when I thought of finding Travis to get the letter he stole from my diary, agad akong napatayo at dali-daling nagpunta sa banyo para […]
The Sunset Boy (Chapter 3)
“W-WAIT! Travis! What are you doing?” I froze when Travis was slowly walking towards me, staring me directly in the eyes and his lips were like wanting to kiss me. I didn’t know what to do and how to react knowing that I was in the situation that I have never been before. I wanted […]
The Sunset Boy (Chapter 2)
“LYNDON, anak? How are you feeling now?” Mom’s soft touch woke me up. It’s already morning and I can feel a lot better now. Pahinga lang pala talaga ang kailangan ko. Maybe I was just putting much pressure on myself these past days and I got myself soaked in rain. “Medyo maayos na po pakiramdam […]
The Sunset Boy (Chapter 1)
“LYNDON!” My mom shouts from downstairs as if wanting my presence immediately. “Andito na sina Pastor. Bumaba ka na diyan!” She shouted again but this time it’s softer. I rolled my eyes and threw the book I was holding into the table, making a noise that shatters the silence inside my room. “Coming!” I shouted […]
The Sunset Boy (Teaser)
It’s been so long since Lyndon Miller, a secret sunset fanatic and lover of stars, knew that he’s not really into women. He can feel that there is something strange inside him and he wanted to not let it out because of his fear of being judged by the society and by his religious mother. He tried telling himself to change his perception about gender identity – that being gay or straight is just a matter of thinking – but the more he denied the fact that he’s gay the more his inner feelings grow.
