My best friend's boyfriend - Will it last?

As we all know same sex relationship is now accepted not just here in the Philippines but around the globe. Men are now very discreet when it comes to their identity and if you don't know how to determine whether the guy is gay or no, then you are one of the many people that were deceived by their looks. They are everywhere. You can find them in the school, in the office, sometimes they're also in the least places you could think of like in the gym and maybe, just maybe your he is professor in culinary arts.

My best friend is one of them. His name is KC. He's currently working in Eastwood, Libis as a call center representative. To tell you frankly, if I dont know him I would think he's straight. He is very discreet in his own way. From the way he moves to the way he look. You definitely won't think that he's gay. We've been friends since we're kids and same goes with our family. We've been friends since I was in second year highschool and he was in his first year. So more or less we've been friends for nine years already. We already know each other's differences and get along with each other through the years. Kc loves exploring things and doing things that he haven't experienced yet. I can tell that he's one of the bravest friends that I know. To be honest I feel safe whenever he's around. He became my security blanket especially at times when I feel I'm alone or whenever I have problems.I can laugh as much as I could and cry at times. He's always there when I need someone to listen, he's always there when I need a friend.

This story that I'm going to tell just happened recently. Kc went to a bar in Cubao to have some fun with his officemates. If I recall it right the bar's name was "Palawan" and if I'm not mistaken, this bar is like a haven for men who prefer to hook up with same sex. The day before this I was with him. He told me that he is planning to check what's with the bar and he'll tell me whether the bar is fine or not. So come the next day I went to their place and looked for him because we have plans to go out. His mother was worried already because Kc left the house last night around 8:00pm and it's already three in the afternoon and he's still not home. I tried to call him yet there's no answer so I decided to tell her mom that I'm gonna leave and be back next day. The other day I texted him and asked what happened. He told me that he went to palawan and hooked up with this guy and went to he's place at Taguig to do their thing. From that point on Kc addressed this guy as he's boyfriend.

Kc looked happy as day goes by so I ask what's goin on. So he tells me futher stories about the guy. He say's the guy is married with two kids but his wife is at Japan and the kids are in the province. The guy also offered Kc the place and was asking him to stay with him. Kc had doubts with the set up so he refused to besides he can't leave her mom alone. After a week he told me that he's with another guy. I dont know what happened but I didn't bother to ask because that's too personal. I asked who this guy is and he replied with a smile. I guess he's in love so I asked futher questions. The guys name is Maco and they met in chat. Maco is a culinary arts teacher in a University somewhere in Manila. They meet up and get along with each others company and according to Kc he was Kind. Kind in the sense that the guy always pay the expenses whenever they go out. I dont know Maco personally. I haven't got time to meet up with him but Kc is already planning to set a date where we have time to go out and finally meet each other.

One day I texted Kc if he's free for the day because I'm planning to go out to unwind. He replied yes so I immediately went to their house to pick him up. I was planning to play frozen throne (a LAN based game) with him at morayta. On our way his phone rings and it was his boyfriend Maco. Maco is currently at Monumento and was asking Kc to pick him up at Doroteo Jose. Kc looked confused at moment because he don't know whether he'll go or not. He's confused because if he decides to go then that means he'll have to leave me. I just listened and waited for his decision. This somehow became a test for Kc as to whether drop me just for he's boyfriend or tell a lie and stay with me. At that point Kc is already asking what to do but I just replied "I dunno" or "You decide". In the end he decided to pick up his guy and leave me behind. I didn't say a word because I was shock. I told him "it's okay" and "I'm fine". I just feel like I'm betrayed or maybe Im just jealous or maybe I'm mad. I didn't realized that Kc, my bestfriend can do that. Although it may look like the situation is just plain and simple still it hurt me. It pains me to see him walking and leave me just for this guy he just knew few days ago. Actually I'm not mad because he did that. I guess I'm mad because of the fact that I asked him if he's free for the day and he says yes when all he'll do is just dump me and leave me behind. Although he texted me and said he'll be back still the fact that he leave is painful.

I learned something on that day. It openned my eye to the posibilities that all the people around you will eventually leave. They have their reasons to go and you can't blame them. They leave because they choose to walk with love instead of friendship. They choose to fly instead of looking up the sky and sometimes they choose to risk everything and leave all they have behind. Maybe I'm right. Maybe Kc is brave. Maybe he's brave to leave his friends or maybe he's just trying new things on his own. I just wish he'll be happy to whatever the results may be. As for me, I still consider Kc as my bestfriend and what ever life would give him, I'll still be here for him. For me our friendship which was built for years will never be changed by this situation.

I just hope their relationship would last.
