There is really something about true love, you know… it doesn’t make you asks questions and it makes you contend of what you are. It doesn’t make you complete but it makes you more sure of yourself. Anyway, like a proper housewife Miguelita became a loyal, loving and compassionate partner to Cirilo. Knowing nothing about his partner’s past he still continues to love him. People thought Cirilo rented the other room of Miguelita’s gay house but to their unknowing they don’t know that they were lovers except Nene who saw it all.
The days passed and their affair as secret as it is, bloomed like a mushroom amongst decayed compost. Scenes like cooking together, talking as if it’s the end of the world, secretly hold hands while watching a movie, worrying together about broken pipes, kissing by the laundry, glancing sweetly at each other during parties, washing the dishes together, putting Vicks on each others chest whenever someone’s sick, texting what time his going home, Letting him taste his cooking by the stove, sleeping in others arm in pure abandon… all the good memories a homosexual can ever imagine… Miguelita’s life was never been happier.
Miguelita… Miguelita… Miguelita… Nene shouted at the door of his dear friend’s house. He is wearing a flowery shirt which matches the curtain she gave to Miguelita a long time ago.
And why are you here? bitch friend… and what is it this time… I don’t have money… Miguelita replied jokingly as he gestures to the other faggot to come in. He is holding a basketful of laundry and casually turns his back to the chubby visitor as she proceeds to the washing machine.
Gush… you Bitch, I know your imaginary husband is away… we should go out and watch the beauty pageant at the other town. Your enemy the “ingrate homosexual” who uses a lot of men is joining… Oh is that a Banana Que in the table… Nene went straight to the kitchen and didn’t bother to wait for Miguelita’s reply.
Nene munched on the Banana Que and announced to the other gay who is busy putting detergent to the washing machine.
“Oh… by the way… as your imaginary husband is away for a week now, Boyet the janitor in the hospital that I’m flirting with is giving me this letters and some medicine for your Cirilo”… Nene speaks with his mouth full and put the letters on the table.
Oh maybe you like coffee with that… the gay host replied as he glance at the bunch of letters on the table where Nene put it. He is putting the other dirty laundry in a soapy basin.
Without even saying thank you Nene automatically get two coffee mugs and started to brew coffee and the two queens chatted the afternoon away… The two divas have been good friend since they were young and very inseperable since Miguelita father died. They are like sister of the Bene Gesserit who have the same universal consiousness.

A late afternoon shower cast rainbow over the horizon as the two friends finishes thier coffee and Nene left late. And Miguelita continues to do the house chores and finally he picks up the letters and casually putting it on Cirilo’s desk, when a brightly colored postcard in a child’s handwriting falls to the floor. He picks it up, looks at it and cried.
The house is curiously dark when Cirilo arrives despite it still early in the evening.
Migue… Migue… hon… the doctor lovingly look for his partner as he opens the door and switches the lights on. He was suddenly surprised to see Miguelita crying in a corner by the kitchen. With concerned in his face he drops his bag and quickly run to his partner and asked him what happened. Miguelita did not replied and just give him the post card. Cirilo looked at the postcard with a cut-out of his face, two boys and a beautiful woman and the child’s hand writing says “We miss you daddy”….
The house as if watching them became silent, not the lizards nor the night dared to disturb that silence. Miguelita looked at Cirilo, he’s eyes is crying with questions… Cirilo embraced Miguelita in guilt… contained and muted… Miguelita sobs as Cirilo rocks him gently…

Sana ay matanggap ni Miguelita na isa syang kabit although mahal naman talaga siya ni Cirilo.
