Brian Trevor Abcede was a party animal, he’s awake 24x7, 5 days on his call center night shift work and the other 2 nights is solely dedicated to his hobby. And if he could have another middle name, that would be Party, party and more party!

Brian, Bri or BT is very well known in the Malate party circuit, lahat yata ng events dun ay pinupuntahan nya every year. Well hindi na rin naman natin siya masisi... He’s the chickboy type, pwede sa chick pwede rin sa boy!

Pero behind that happy-go-lucky image of his ay isang mas malalim na reason sa kanyang partying habit. Bata pa lang sya ay itinakwil na sya ng kanyang ama, dahil sa natuklasan ang kanyang sexualidad, kaya ibinuhos na lang nya ang kanyang sarili it’s either sa work, sa saya, o sa “panandaliang saya”.

“So alam nyo na ang istorya ko... Kayo naman...” as Brian takes his shot. He attended the anniversary or GEB ng isang clan na sinalihan nya. They are currently having their party at some place somewhere in EDSA.

“Liam, shot mo na...” Sabi ng clan leader/founder na si JM.

It was Liam’s third time na umattend sa clan na iyon. He had make some friends there, pero never pa syang naging super close to anyone.

At iniabot ni Brian ang shot glass kay Liam, na animo ay tulala. He took the said shot and from nowhere he received a text message, dali dali nya naman itong binasa.

“Hey, are you alright dude?

You seem to be not in yourself tonight?”

 SOA Brian.member

+63916143****

Napatingin lang ito kay Brian at sumagot lang ng isang ngiti.

Natapos ang kanilang party about 2am, they went into their separate ways, Liam went into EDSA kasi he’s going home sa Pasay pa. While waiting for a taxi a familiar voice was calling him.

“Sakay na...” it was Brian. Pauwi na rin pala ito, sa isang condo sa may Paranaque pala ito nakatira, hindi na nagdalawang isip na sumakay si Liam dahil may mga lalaking nagmamatyag sa kanya simula ng tumayo sya sa may kanto dun sa EDSA. Liam seated beside Brian. Tahimik siya for quite sometime.

It seems nag kakapaan sila kung sino ang magsisimula ng conversation, “I hate this. Kailangan basagin ang katahimikan. Hahaha!” Sabay tawa ni Brian.

“So hindi ka ba nag-aalala, nakainom ako then I am driving you inside my car? Isn’t that irresponsible of me?” tanong ni Brian sa nag-iisip na rin na si Liam.

Pero hindi pa rin natinag si Liam, “Oh well, hindi ko naman iniinom lahat ng shot ko, kaya hindi naman ako umiinom, tikim tikim lang. Sabay tawa na naman nya… “Ganyan ka ba talaga katahimik Liam? And may I just ask saan nga pala kita I drop off. I mean I picked you up sa EDSA without knowing kung saan ka pauwi?” tanung nito.

“Pasay, you can drop me off sa Cuneta Avenue. Salamat nga pala… I am surprised that you invited me over a ride. I didn’t even notice kanina kasi na may dala kang kotse.” At natahmik na naman si Liam after that one long sentence.

“Hmmm… Simply, ayaw ko lang na may makisakay sa sasakyan ko. Hahaha!” tawa na naman si Brian.

From nowhere sumagot si Liam, “Are you sure that you ain’t drunk? Kung ayaw mo pala mag pasakay eh, why invite me for a ride?” pagtataka ni Liam.

Hindi naman sinagot ng isa ang tanung, “Bakit masama bang tumawa? Ganun lang talaga ako. Palatawa… Uiii this is nice at least nag sasalita ka na…” reaksyon ni Brian.

“Hindi naman…” sagot ni Liam.

Matipid ang sagot ni Liam, it seems that something is bothering him.

“Okay okay… Sige suko nako, I’ll just do the talking, anu ba ang gusto mong marinig na I am a player na I do this just for the fun of it? Ganun naman talaga di ba? Gays or bi-guys like us mahirap mahalin, o mag mahal kasi we can’t just focus our eyes for just one prize.

Then Liam defied what Brian said by saying, “Bakit mata ba ang kailangan natin for that prize? Di ba puso dapat?”

“Hahahahahahahahhahahahahha!” walang tigil sa katatawa si Brian.

“Bakit ang corny ba ng sagot ko?” sabi ni Liam.

“You bet… Anyways… Medyo bitin ako sa inuman dun sa party… Okay lang ba if we could drink over at my place?” imbitasyon ni Brian.

Then napaisip ng malalim si Liam, naiisip nya uuwi sya sa Pasay in his small place na nirerentahan nya, na he shared with a fellow bi-friend na madalas kasama ang kanyang jowa at doon gumagawa ng alam nyo na.

“Sure! That won’t be a prob.” Mabilis naman syang nakasagot.

Upon reaching his abode, Brian felt that Liam was a bit casual with everything. He could see it on Liam’s body language. “Have a sit. I’ll just get you a drink.” Liam seated stiffly on Brian’s leather couch.

Then after some minutes the latter have handed a drink that he just prepared.

“Don’t worry that drink isn’t that deadly...” and Brian gave him a teasing sort of assuring smile.

And for the very first time upon arriving Brian’s place, nag salita na rin si Liam. “So you just stay here alone?”

“Weren’t you listening with my story earlier.  I was disowned by my family, when they knew I was gay.” And Brian had gulped on his just prepared drink, “Bottoms – Up!”

“I’m sorry...” that was the only thing na nasabi ni Liam.

“Well I understand... It seems that you were that distracted earlier kaya you didn’t had the chance to even hear my life story.”

By that time Liam was perflexed. Hindi na nya alam kung ano ang isasagot rito. “Here’s the thing about me being distracted...” he wasn’t finished with what he was about to say, it seems that another distraction came out of nowhere.

Brian Trevor Abcede kissed Liam Valdez.

Liam’s eyes popped out.

His lips was resting on his for about a quarter of a minute.

Then tinanggal naman ni Brian ang kanyang pag kakahalik kay Liam, as if he realized something.

Liam reciprocated back by almost teasinging biting his lips. Liam was trembling by that time, alam nyang gusto nya ang ginagawa nya, pero as if he is in some sort of a hesitance. Nakalma lang sya ng hinagod na ni Brian ang kanyang likuran.

Brian rested his body down the floor at sumunod naman ang isa. Di sila bumibitiw.

That drink that Brian said isn’t that deadly was now taking effect on him. Malakas pala ang tama nun, Liam was now probing Brian’s toned chiselled body.

Brian took off his shirt. Liam took down his pants. By that time they were now rolling on the living room floor.

Using his tongue Brian has wet Liam’s ass from his back unto his hole.

“Shoot!” he was in ecstasy by that time. It was like some hot ice came inside him.

Nakadapa na si Liam sa may sahig, his legs spreaded like eagle’s wings. Hindi na nya napansin na nakahubad na pala si Brian, and then there was it! “Ahhhhhh...” he inserted his manhood inside Liam’s wet ass.

He was now pounding this almost like a little boys body, he didn’t stop, sinabayan naman ni Liam ang bawat pag kadyot ni Brian sa kanya. Bawat pag baon, ramdam nya ang kakaibang sarap.

“I am almost there...” mas lalo pang dumiin si Brian. Sabay silang nilabasan.

Tinamad na ang dalawang tumayo. Kumuha na lang sila ng throw pillows sa sofa at doon na sa sala natulog. Nakatalikod si Brian kay Liam, pero ng yumakap si Liam sa kanya, hindi naman nya inalis ang pagyakap nito. And then they both slept soundly that night.

In the morning, Brian asked Liam, “Kagabi? You were expecting a text right? Sino naman yun? Your boyfriend?” hindi makasagot si Liam.

Ano bang gusto mong isagot ko sa tanong mo?  Ang sabi ni Liam sa kanyang sarili. And then he answered “I can’t say na kami na, hindi ko alam promising na sana, pero di naman umattend.” Mukha syang dismayado.

“Sige, ganito for a while let’s have a set up. Simula ngayon boyfriend mo nako. Pero you cannot fall in love with me ha?” sabi ni Brian.

“Huh? Weird? Ano ito? No other woman? No attachments?” sabi ni Liam sa kanya. “Paano naman manyayari yun?” sabi nito sa kanyang sarili.

Then Liam decided to play along with Brian’s game, naging sila pero no emotional attachments, sa harap ng buong clan sila. They kiss, they go home together, have sex. Pero walang emotional attachments.

One time magkatext si JM at Liam, “Sure ka? Walang emotional attachment ang tawag mo dyan? Eh balita ko sinusundo ka pa ni Brian sa work mo sa Makati?” tanung ni JM.

Napaisip na tuloy si Liam, ano nga ba ako sa kanya?

Hindi na namalayan ni Liam na napamahal na si Brian sa kanya.

In the end they were celebrating their 6th monthsary. Pero still no emotional attachments, sa isip ni Liam ganun, pero iba na ang idinidikta ng puso nya.

And nung seventh monthsary nila bigla na lang nawala si Brian sa buhay nya. No text messages, he didn’t even answer Liam’s calls. Hindi nya maabutan sa work o sa bahay man lang niya, as in wala.

On their supposedly eight monthsary natapat na araw yun ng kanilang Clan GEB, bumalik si Brian sa clan, and he was introducing another boyfriend, with the name Andy.

Liam gets drunk, uminom lang sya ng uminom. Sa umpisa medyo composed pa ito, pero ng sa huli, when they were playing this game of truth or consequence, naging iba na ang tono ng usapan. The clan was asking the newbie Andy the bagong boyfriend ni Brian, kung ano ang nagustuhan nya kay Brian, and in the end eto ang sinagot nya… “Actually I didn’t expect na maiinlove ako sa kanya… He even told me na don’t ever fall in love with me, pero in the end naging kami, and the feeling is mutual… Ganun talaga sya he is like he’ll put you under a spell and in the end malalaman mo na you are already in love with him? Right honey?” Sabay halik kay Brian.

By that time dumating na sa boiling point niya si Liam.

“Ahh… So yun din pala ang sinabi nya sayo, well apparently he’s luring all of us under his spell?” loudly Liam stated to the whole clan.

Pilit syang inawat ni JM, “Liam you have too much to drink. Hinay hinay lang…” at pinaupo  nya si Liam.

Sa pagpupumiglas, tumalsik ang iniinom na beer ka Andy.

“Shit, what’s your problem dude?” Akma na sanang manununtok ni Andy ng inawat na sila ni Brian.

“Tama na Andy. Lasing lang yan. Leave him alone…” awat nya sa bagong boyfriend, sabay tingin at bulong kay Liam, “I already told you. Don’t you ever fall in love with me…” sabay dugtong ni Andy, “You loser!”

Liam’s jaw dropped.

Pak! Sabay sampal kay Brian, “Tang-ina! Whattafuck? Mapipigilan ko ba ang sarili ko kung mahal na kita? Madidiktahan ko ba ang sarili ko na wag na kitang mahalin kahit alam ng puso ko na mahal kita. That I aim for the prize, that I just aimed for you sabi nga ng corny kong puso… Tang-ina Brian… You are so unfair! Unfair ka!” at pinaghahampas nya si Brian. Makikigulo na sana si Andy ng hinatak na ni Brian ito sa saksakyan.

Paalis na nga sila, and the whole clan was surprised ng nag tatakbo naman si Liam para habulin si Brian, nag-iiyak ito sa kalsada. Iba na ngayon ang situation, “Please Brian… I want you back…!” habang kinakatok nya ang bintana ng sasakyan. At humarurot naman ng takbo ang sasakyan nila. Naiwan naman si Liam sa gitna ng kalsada na nag iiyak. 

Nakita naman nina JM ang kanilang kaibigan kaya nag-patulong ito na alalayan ito sa ibang mga kasama. But it came out as a surprise to them ng nag pumiglas ito.

“Bitawan nyo ako...” sigaw ni Liam. “Don’t you all ever lie to me... Huwag nyong sabihin na wala kayong alam sa katarantaduhan na ginagawa ni Brian.” I’ve consulted you all, tinanong ko kayo. Pero anung nakuha kong response.

Walang makatingin kay Liam, sumagot naman si JM, “It is better that you knew this way... At least nalaman mo na ang tunay na kulay ni Brian...”

“Pero JM... Mahal ko sya... Putang-inag pagmahahal to...”

Nag-mamadali naman si Liam na sumakay ng isang jeep na hindi nya alam kung saan pupunta. Makalipas ng labing-limang minuto. Ay pumara ito, “Ui bayad mo...” sabi ng drayber. “Lasing ata... Kanina pa nagsasalita mag-isa yan, mahal nya daw si Brian” sabi ng isa pasaherong babae.

“Fuck you ka manong...” sagot ng lasing na lasing na si Liam. Mukhang narinig ng drayber ang sinabi kaya napamura na lang, “Leche kayong mga bakla, mga salot ng lipunan!”

Hindi na nya alam kung nasaan na sya, nag lakad lakad sya ng natyempuhan sya ng mga di kilalang mga lalaki. Hinablot ito sa isang madilim na eskenita, kinuha ang bagong bili na Blackberry pati na ang dala-dalang wallet, at doon ay pinag-bubugbog.

Tanging naiwan sa kanya ang kanyang ID na nilalagay niya sa ibang bulsa.

Nakasalampak ang kanyang katawan at mukha sa may putikan. Bahagya siyang nahimasmasan makalipas ang isang oras. Pinilit nyang bumangon at ng nag desisyon na mag lakad lakad. Masakit pa ang mga kalamnan sa pag kakabugbog kanina. Hanggang sa narating nya ang main road.

~*~

Nagulat at napasigaw si Mang Jun, nagulat din naman ako, there was a guy crossing down the street, pero we are sure na hindi namin sya nabunggo or what, dali dali naman lumabas si Mang Jun para tulungan ung taong katatawid lang, he was unconscious pero wala na rin naman akong nagawa we just rushed him at the hospital.

“Sir, he is doing alright now, wala naman syang major injury or matinding sugat, maliban sa mangilan na pasa, medyo nakainum nga lang… Kamag-anak po ba kayo ng pasyente?” tanong ng doctor.

In the end, the doctor introduced the patient to us, his name was Liam Valdez…
