Hide, Baby

I hate him. He likes me.  I got to know him. We fell in love with each other. But our relationship must be kept a secret. Find out why.  — It's a very tiring day but then kung talagang mahal mo ang ginagawa mo, worth it ang efforts mo. "And...done." Napangiti ako sa harap ng laptop nang makita na naupload na ang bago kong vlog sa YouTube channel ko. Super excited ako kasi napakaespesyal sa akin ng content ko na ito. Anuman ang maging reaction ng mga tao sa nilalaman ng pinost ko, never kong ikakahiya ang bagay na iyon.  Minutes after I posted my vlog, literal na sumabog ang notifications ko at nayanig halos lahat ng mga fans ko. Well, hindi na ako nagulat. Paano ba naman kasi, grabing revelation ang ibinunyag ko sa buong mundo. Napakadaming nagulat at marami ding nagpaabot ng pagbati nila. My heart swelled because instead of judging me, they accepted what I really am. Then a warm hug enveloped my body. "I am so proud of you." He said, kissing my lips.  "Thank you baby. Happy Father's Day again." I was about to kiss him back but we heard something.  Napalingon kami ng biglang may umatungal ng iyak. It was our son. Lumapit ako dito at inugoy para tumigil sa pag-iyak. He must be hungry, I thought. Oh, my poor baby.  Pinabreastfeed ko ang anak namin habang ang asawa ko naman ay tiningnan ang laptop na nasa counter table. "MAUREEN JUAREZ, 22, ISANG SIKAT NA VLOGGER, UMAMIN NA MAY ASAWA'T ANAK NA" He read the article. How did it happen? Well, join me as I recall the things I did that made me who I am today.  —
