In a few moments, ayun na. Just like what happens in the movies. There he was. Approaching yours truly, like a phantom in glowing white long-sleeved polo. Agent Boytoy, Pinoy blogosphere’s ultimate mystery boytoy, the desire of his every gay reader, my secret crush, my dream date — now in the flesh. Half-smiling, right in front of me.
I asked, “Agent?”
He answered, “Yes. Migs?”
I can’t remember how I responded. I was starstruck. The song echoed in my ears.
Anything your heart desires,
Will come to you.
Indeed, he did.
Next thing I knew, we were seated, face-to-face, just the two of us — the phenomenal Agent Boytoy and Migs the Manila Gay Guy — in a dinner date I will never, ever forget.
Like a diesel engine, we both were slow starters. Kailangan ng konting warm up. While Agent and I were having dinner, we were also trying to get more comfortable with each other’s presence. Nung umpisa medyo maraming awkward silences, dead air, nagkakapaan pa (ay!)… we were seated right in front of each other pero parang anlayo-layo namin sa isa’t isa. But as the dinner proceeded, unti-unti na kaming nare-relax, nagkakalapit. In the process marami din kaming napagkuwentuhan.
At one point he said, “I invited you for dinner because…” [pause]
In that short pause, parang tumigil ang mundo ko for 48 years! He invited me for dinner because — because he loved me?! because gusto niya akong anakan?! because we’re better off as one?! Andami ko ng naisip! Kaso itinuloy niya:
“I invited you for dinner because… I wanted to thank you for reading my blog, and for featuring it at MGG. Dahil sa iyo dumami ang nakapagbasa ng blog ko. Salamat ha, Migs.”
Good thing mabilis kong nasalo ang panga kong muntik nang malaglag. Akala ko naman magtatapat na siya ng wagas at dalisay na pag-ibig sa akin… thankful lang pala siya. Anti-climactic naman! Pero siyempre, smile pa rin ang MGG — parang wala lang. Parang keri lang. Pero di ko pa rin napigil bumawi. Kaya naman after one-kembot-and-a-half, I answered back:
“Ganun ba Agent? Sana pala, nagpadala ka na lang ng ‘thank you’ gift… nag-abala ka pa tuloy na pumunta rito at ilibre ako ng dinner…”
Na siya namang sagot niya, “Ano ka ba, Migs… siyempre kasi gusto rin kitang ma-meet.”
Ano pa nga ba’t kinilig ako’t naihi ng 3 drops sa linyang `yun.
After dinner, we decided to hang out at theal fresco area of the hotel. Tuloy ang kuwentuhan, this time, I felt we were both quite comfortable with each other. He started talking about his work, his family, his friends… doon ko mas nakilala si Agent Boytoy bilang tao, and not just as the writer and character in his blog. The more I got convinced that he is a very interesting person. Para bang gusto ko siyang ibulsa at iuwi sa bahay, ora mismo! Haaay, be still my heart! Naalala ko ang words of wisdom ng aking konsensiya: “umayos ka Migs, may asawa na yan. Bawal landiin.” Up to that point winner pa rin ako dahil nasusunod ko pa si Madam Konsensiya. But not for long!
Dumiskarte ako: “Ahmmm… Agent, do you want to grab something to drink? Maybe somewhere else?”
Walang pag-aalinlangan ang sagot niya: “Sure!”
Heto na! Pagkakataon ko na ito, sabi ko sa sarili ko.
In a few moments, we were in my car. Just Agent Boytoy and I, intimate and alone — surrounded by the darkest of dark, heavily-tinted windows of my car.
