PROLOGUE
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does
not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does
not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." -
"I didn't know this
feeling was possible, let alone I felt it with him. I thought I was as
unbreakable as Titanium but I thought wrong. I was weak inside and he helped me
get back up. All along, I was under the impression that the people of our kind
doesn't deserve true love but he proved me wrong. Yes, I fell in love with him
and I fell hard." - Jeff
Jeff Jonas Montesclaros - 24, son of Amelia Montesclaros (government
employee) and Christopher Montesclaros (self-employed, Catering business), and
a younger brother to Mary Therese Montesclaros-Uy. Jeff is a Registered Nurse who
had his fair share of hospital/nursing exposure. He felt trapped in the nursing
profession 3 years ago and has later on decided to expand his horizons and
venture into the corporate world. He is now working as a Manager in one of the
better known BPO companies in the city. Jeff is a single man and has never been
into any sorts of serious relationships as he fears the feeling of getting
hurt. He believes that people like him (gays), will never experience true
happiness with a better half and that it will always be only pleasure and quick
fixes.
