Kaius' POV
"Kaius! Dyusmiyo hijo kanina pa kita ginigising pero parang bulate ka pa ring pahila-hilata diyan sa kama mo!"
Nagising ako sa malakas na sigaw ni nana Isabel. At nasundan pa ng mahabang litanya nya with matching palo sa pwetan ko.
"Akala ko ba e maaga kang gigising para sa unang klase mo ngayong kolehiyo? Aba e kung hindi pa ako pinaakyat ulit ng mommy mo baka buong maghapon ka pa ring tulog"
"Nana! 5 more minutes please! Napuyat kasi ako kagabi!" atungal ko sa kanya.
"Ayan kakanood mo sa mga kabadingan kaya ka napupuyat!"
I rolled my eyes as she said that out loud.
"It's BL nana! Boys Love! And please hinay hinay lang po at baka marinig kayo ni mommy"
It's my dirty little secret. As the only child of the two well-known doctors in the country, I am a certified "baliko". I don't know what they call it, "bisexual" or something. I am not so sure of myself either. But I am proud to be a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Natigil lang ako nang biglang kinurot ni nana Isabel ang hita ko. Napakamot ako sa sakit.
"Hay nako! Kaius Izaak! Ke-gandang pangalan, lalaking lalaki, pero hindi mo binibigyan ng hustisya!"
Nana Isabel is already on her late 50's kaya palaging highblood. Ganoon talaga siguro kapag nasa menopausal stage kana?
"Nana naman! Hindi pa kayo nasanay sakin e kayo naman ho ang nagpalaki sa akin"
I tried my luck pero hinila nya ako patayo at itinulak papasok sa cr.
Today's my first day in college. I am a freshman in Southern College, the prestige school here in the South. My mom picked this school kasi dito din siya nag-aral during her college days. She always supports me kahit nung nalaman niyang ang gusto kong kuning kurso ay Interior Design. She didn't questioned me, but dad did. He said na hindi nakakalaki ang pag-dedesign but he cannot say no to mom.
"Hijo pagkatapos mo diyan ay bumaba kana at mag-almusal. Naghihintay ang mommy't daddy mo sa hapag"
"Yes nana! Bihis lang po ako saglit"
I finished my bath and picked my outfit for the day. SC "short for Southern College" has no dress code. Tinamad sigurong mag-design ang may-ari ng school para sa uniform. I picked a beige polo and black pants partnered with my adidas shoes. Don't forget my silver necklace na ang pendant ay letrang "K". I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before going downstairs.
"Goodmorning mom, dad" bati ko sa aking parents.
Mom has this cute smile on her face while watching me going down the stairs and dad has his usual poker face.
"Good morning baby! Are you excited for your first day as a freshman?" bati din sa akin ni mommy kasabay ng paghalik sa pisngi.
"Kaius, are you sure you really wanna take Interior Designing?" heto na naman tayo sa stereotyping ni dad.
"Kairro! You know our son loves it! He likes to decorate his room every now and then! You will do good in class, right baby?"
I'm thankful that mom always have my back. Kaya siguro mas malapit ako sa kanya kaysa kay dad. But I grew up with my nana Isabel since they are always busy working their ass off in our hospital. Blessing in disguise na din siguro yon.
"I'm done, let's go Lea! Patients are waiting for us in the hospital"
And your son is waiting for your approval. Bulong ko nalang sa sarili dahil alam ko namang hindi nila ako maiintindihan.
