Borrowed Time; An AIDS memoir

Mahal kong Ama at Ina,


                         Meron po akong nais na malaman niyo tungkol sa tunay kong pagkatao. Pagkatao na kung saan matagal ko nang inililihim sa inyo ni ina. Ama ko, ako po ay isang bakla. Hindi ko kasi mapigil ang babae kong damdamin na humanga o magkaroon ng ispesyal na pagtingin sa kapareha kong kasarian; lalake. Sana po ama ay mapatawad niyo po ako sa aking nagawa. Sinira ko ang iyong tiwala na ang kaisa-isa niyong anak na lalake na ngayon ay naging bakla na. Hayaan niyo po , mag-iipon ako ng lakas ng loob para humarap sa inyo ni ina para maipagmalaki niyo ako sa kabila ng aking pusong babae. At sana po ay matanggap niyo ako ni ina.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  John Rey

The Boarding House

Mr. Doran felt so doubtful about himself or his future decision. Because in the first place, he is thinking of the consequences whether to marry or run away from his obligations to Polly. But of course his mind and heart will argue for the said incident. The heart says that he often loved her for the reason that he'd done it to Polly. And his mind dictates that if he will be married, all of his everything would rather done for nothing; it was all over. But the conscience would often occurred when he refused to marry Polly, and the result is he will not be happy. At first, he will not understand the feelings that he had when he becoming the member of the Mooney family, but as the days passes by, he often understands the reality that he became a father of the baby of Polly. And the result of this is he will be learning to love Polly and see the baby growing beside his arms as the time passes by.
