Endless Rainbow

PROLOGUE

The dazzling stars, gleaming moon, and lucent night sky flawlessly and brightly complement the atmosphere of the surroundings as two appealing individuals saunter cross the alluring  Ambiance of haute cuisine. The violin and flute smoothly emancipate serenading sounds, perfectly blending with the vibes of the environment. 

“Are you okay?” the man asked. The boy nods and bitterly smiles as he feels uneasy and afraid.  The man gingerly rubs the hand of the boy to calm him and light up his mood. As they are feet from the door, the intensity, consciousness, and notions immensely flow like the heart of the boy sprightly beating. The doorway opens and the man tightly holds the hand of the boy to express love and security. The time they enter, they see a lavish banquet with elegant and dominant people wearing luxurious brands. Brims of laughing and chatting – that is what the atmosphere looks like as they approach the banquet. 

The time they arrived and stood in front of the banquet, the mood of the atmosphere seemed to change. People become silent as if they’re amazed or disappointed with what they have seen. It is like everyone inside is in a nowhere place where they’re serenaded with pleasant music. However, the smooth sounds don’t adjunct to the expression of the people, the boy anxiously notices that their eyes are so furious as if they were killed something. And suddenly, “Good evening, Dad, Mom” the man speaks. The atmosphere becomes so vehement, and the boy feels restless with the death stare at the people and his parents in front of them. With no replies, everyone is seated to start the dinner. 

The dinner started but nothing has changed. No one is talking making the atmosphere more awkward and strange. And if the boy will be asked, the resto anytime could be burning down just by staring at the raging faces of the people. Until the man reaches his hand and lays it down on the dining table. “Mom, Dad, Sir, and Ma’am, there’s something I wanna tell.” The man paused and 

grasped the hand of the boy. “We both know that there will be consequences after telling this you. I hope you will hear us just this night. We would like to……..’ the man is interrupted by his father. The man’s father indignantly asked if they have a relationship with the boy who happens to be the son of his business partner. The boy is tenderly scared and shaking as if he does not know what to do and anytime, he might be passed out. Confidently, the man replies “Yes dad, we have a relationship and I love him so much. I know that in your eyes our relationship is a sin, but I don’t know dad, he is the one who captures my heart. And I hope you will understand and accept the relationship we have because we love each other, and no one can separate us.” The boy does not notice that his eyes start watering – the sincerity of the words truly hits indeed. 

Instantly, a rush slap landed on the face of the man, and everyone is too stunned to speak. “Hahahahaha, have you out of your mind Son! I don’t care what intervention or relationship you have but, it will be better if you just end everything because if not...” The man interrupted his father and counterpart “if not dad, what would you do? Separate us? Makes us miserable?” Unexpectedly, the boy’s father replied “yes if that would be the best option. This is such a shame and disgrace to our name and reputation. I would rather not have a child than to have one but GAY!” After hearing such pernicious words, the boy feels that he’s unworthy and insignificant. His entire body is fidgeting, and the tears seem to be a heavy rain continuously flowing and rushing. “With all due respect sir, if you do not forget, he is still your child despite his identity. Your reasons are so unreasonable, just because of the business? All you just think about is the family’s reputation, how 

about us? We just need your support, love, and acceptance. Hahahahha…, you are all right we are 

just low beings who do not have a space in this world because the only thing we bring to the family 

is gayness and dishonor. Am I right!?” The man said. 

“That’s enough son!” a loud shout from the man’s father, making everyone flabbergasted.

“If  you can’t accept and respect our relationship dad, we will just leave and go” the man speaks. 

“And where do you think you’re going?”

“It’s none of your business dad and you cannot separate us”

“I can son, I can do everything I want, whether you like or not!”

“No dad you can tear us apa……” the man is interrupted by his father. 

“Enough son, I’ve heard everything. I think this is the end of the night Lucy and Miguel, we better go and please talk to your son” the man’s father speaks.

“No, you can’t do this to us dad. Please dad I love him so much even my life would be sacrificed” the man begs to his father while tears fluidly flow down his face. 

“Guards prepare the car, and we will leave now. Drag and get this impolite son!” 

No matter how the man begs, he’s just being neglected. The boy tightly holds their hands expressing that no one can tear them apart at all costs. However, their hands slowly parted in just a few seconds as the guards tried to separate them. 

“No dad, please. I can’t live without him” beseeched the man. 

“Stop this nonsense and your drama son!” angrily said by the father. 

The boy anxiously crying, he thinks that this might be the end of them. The thing he is afraid of the most is already happening; they are being separated as if everyone is against them. He does not know what to do if his man will be gone from his life. And suddenly, “Kalix…….” a loud shout by a sincere man who is kneeling while tears rushing down his innocent face. The boy wants to hug his man, but he can’t. Witnessing his man is like being shot and stabbed by an arrow and blade. The boy's vision starts to fade away and his body gets weaker. And suddenly, the boy regains consciousness when he heard an approaching noise. The boy slowly opens his eyes and unexpectedly he sees the eyes of his eyes of the man looking so tired, hurt, eager, and sad. The man quickly advances to the boy to get him and run away. However, the bittersweet smile of the boy egress when he saw his man carrying a gun with a bloody hand.

“What have you done” the boy sadly murmured to himself. The man continuously approaches the boy with a big and genuine smile as if he didn’t see his lover for years. Seeing how happy the man’s face is, the boy feels relief and comfort. But the relief turns into horror, curse, and fright as a loud bang resonates throughout the entire place. The boy is stupefied and his face becomes pale as his man slowly falls to his arm. There are blood and the boy’s body starts panicking and shaking. And suddenly…

“Kalix” the man’s said. The boy does not know what to reply seeing the situation of his man. 

“I am very sorry, and I love you so much” the man added while blood dripping from his mouth.

“I will love you and find you in the afterlife, my kalix…” The hazel eyes of the man slowly shut down 

as tears of the boy swiftly drip down his face. There are no such painful scenes than a cry of a lover who just lost his man personally in his arms. 

“Knight……” a loud and longing scream of the boy.

“If I can be with you in this mad and cruel world, I would just follow and find you too in the afterlife” 

the boy added. He gracefully touches and kisses the man’s face and lips, and he slowly picks up the 

gun on the ground.

“I am sorry, and je t'aime, my Knight”

A loud bang echoes in the dazzling and excruciating place as two bodies sprawl on the ground
