The Public Figure

Carl, Dean, Joe and me. We are friend. Pretty close friend. We share our secrets. Unless the secrets was told by someone that it must not be reveal and tell to the others.

We, or should I say, Carl, found out someone's secret recently. Why do I call it secret? It's because, it surely IS a secret, and the someone here didn't planned on letting anyone on knowing it. Too bad that we were beside Carl, while the someone was telling him, his untold's sides and story through Facebook's chat. The someone here has a child and a wife. He has his own clinic as well. His wife (I THINK) is helping him in his clinic. And his child, is merely 2 year old. Everyone called him Tony.

I will start the story from the very beginning when we just found out Tony's secret.

Right before everything happened, we knew that Tony has a family, and he knew alot of peoples, which makes him a public figure in this town. And he was really a friendly person.



***************

One night...
Tony added Carl on Facebook recently, and Carl approved his request. After Carl approved Tony's request, they started their very first conversation on Facebook.


Tony : Hey, hows your day today? Been busy?
Carl : Not really.. How about yours?

I WILL CUT ALL THESE CRAPS OUT AND SKIP DIRECTLY TO THE POINT!

Tony : Hey! I have something to tell you, but you got to promised me that, it is just between me and you alright?
Carl : Yea sure.. What is it..?
Tony : Okay, I have trust in you! But, I really got no idea how do I start this.. It's kind of hard for me to tell this.
Carl : What? Uh Oh.. Tell me that it's not a scandal..
Tony : Uh.. Your right. And the hardest part to tell is that..
Carl : Gosh! What about your wife? She knows about this already??
Tony : No! She don't. I think I'll just be straight forward on telling you this.. The scandal here, we are talking about, it's not with a girl, but a guy.
Carl : Owh! So who this guy is? Do we know him? Your wife knows him as well?


Joe and I were right beside and reading the content of the conversation from the very beginning, Dean was busy with something else, so he wasn't there, and so he know nothing about Tony's scandal. Yet.


Tony : No! She don't know anything. Promise me that it is just between only me and you alright! And there will never be a third person to know about this!
Carl : Yes Yes! I wont' tell anyone! Unless you want me to leak this out.
Tony : ...
Carl : Don't worry, I won't if you don't want me to tell anything.


And after knowing that Tony get married was just to avoid peoples bad mouthing him as a gay, we started to felt sorry for his wife. We do know that he loved his wife, but their love doesn't seems to be strong enough to hold everything. The longer Carl talk with Tony on Facebook, the more the ugly side of him revealed. He had killed himself in my mind.


Tony : Would you like to meet me up to have fun?
Carl : What?
Tony : Should I say..? This Sunday? I'll call you.
Carl : Are you sure about this? I do not want your wife to chop my head off.
Tony : You don't have to worry about this Carl. I know what to do.
Carl : Hey, I got to go now, we are closing our shop right now, I'll talk with you some other times. Good night.


When the conversation is getting a little bit TOO OVER, Carl told him that he has to leave and log off. Carl purposely sounded like he wanted to have "FUN" with him, to test whether is Tony lying or is he telling the truth on meeting Carl privately and have sex with him. And obviously, Tony was not lying.


Carl : Should we tell Dean about this?
Joe : NO of course! What if he leak this out? Tony told you not to tell anyone else! So now we know about this, and we shouldn't spread this out too!
Me : No comment about this. I have no one to spread this news to anyway.
Carl : But I can't keep this from Dean! I can't! I just can't!
Joe : Hey! You promised Tony!
Dean: What was it? Whats with Tony?


And yes, Carl told Dean everything about Tony. But Dean doesn't seems to be surprised by what he heard.


Dean: As expected. Then why do you have to keep this from me? As if like I don't know about him? Told you guy that he is gay already! You have any idea on how many married gay friends we have? What makes him so special?
Joe : ....


A long pause. We were all glancing at Joe while we were in the middle of the long silence.


Joe : Alright.. But, let's just not talk about this anymore, and never will US leak this out.
Dean: Would you stop? We are not that free enough to spread this "news"!


Conversation ended.


Few more days later, Tony started to text Carl on phone. Asking him out to meet and to have sex with him. Carl ignored the texts from Tony. As time passes, we slowly forget about the so-called SECRETS of Tony. And we don't see Tony dining at Carl and Dean's shop anymore.

But Joe is pretty close with Tony. As they went to the same Gym. They talked alot after they are done exercising. Joe told us that, Tony shared alot of his story with him. But he doesn't seems like willing to share them with us, so we didn't ask much.

As day passes, times flies. Tony's story had become as tiny as a sand among us, we pay no attention on what Tony is up to, and what he is going to do to his family. As the more Carl tried to pesuade him on giving up on the guy he fell for, and love his family more, the more is Tony asking Carl out for sex.

One night..
We have friends called up for a drinking session at Carl and Dean's lounge. One of our friend, Justin reached earlier, we talk alot while we were waiting for the rest to reach and join us.


Justin: Uh! You know! Theres one guy really annoyed Ken alot!
Carl : Why? Why do you say that?
Justin: That guy called Ken almost everyday, and Ken got fed up, and stop answering his calls.
Carl : Oh. Who is this guy anyway.
Justin: I don't know, they met each other in a pub. I can't really see his face though. But I know he is kind of muscular.


Carl gave me a look, which is kind of like signaling me : could it be.. him..?


Carl : Short hair?
Justin: Yea.
Carl : With glasses?
Justin: Ya!


Carl took his iPhone out immediately and tried to get on to Facebook to show Justin Tony's photo.


Justin: Yea, that's him.


Tony and my jaws droped. We get our asses out of the sofa and try to look for Dean. It's like FINALLY we get to know the guy that Tony fell for! And surprisingly, he is one of our close friend! Ken!


***************


Few days after we found out the guy who Tony "liked" or, like what he said, LOVED, Carl emailed Tony. And here is the contents of their emails.


Carl : Hey, I know who that guy is already. Please don't ask me how, where and from who do I get the info/news from. And please don't ask the guy that you felt for, this may cause misunderstanding among us. Just becareful alright.?
Tony: Hello, and thanks for showing your concern. I will not ask him about anything. I don't see any point for me to beware of. As long as I love him, and he love me, that's it. Nothing can stop our love. Just like I like you :) And somehow, at some point, you do looks like him.
Carl : Me? Looks like him? As in..? Im not as slim as him though.. I looks fatter than him. Just becareful alright.. I know him.
Tony: Your not fat to me. Miss me much..?


Carl stoped replying to him, when he sensed that it's completely pointless on warning him that Ken isn't a very good person, as Tony seems to be fooling and playing around with Carl.


***************


It's Saturday night. We went clubbing on Saturday night for the previous weeks. And, as usual, we are all waiting and gathering at Carl and Dean's lounge.

While we were waiting, I saw Joe walked towards his car. And so I shouted at him..

Me : Oi! You are not joining us later?
Joe : I am. But I have something to deal with now, will join you guys after Im done with it.
Me : Oh! (I thought that he is going to find his fuck buddy to have some sex before joining us) Are we not important compared to your SOMETHING?
Joe : My something is more important now. *Wink*
Me : Fine then.. Bye! See ya later!


And Joe started his engine, Broom!

It's 12AM sharp already! And Carl and Dean's lounge is still filled with peoples, so they asked us to go over and party first, instead of waiting for them to finish their bussiness. And so, we went over first.

We stepped into the pub, the atmosphere was crazy! It felt so freaking awesome and wild! Everyone there were dancing and shaking and drinking. Everyone were enjoying the atmosphere, the music and everything. As we squeezed ourselves through the crowd, we find our friends. It's lucky that they got their table reserved. Cause the club was totally flooded with peoples. And so, we start our wild night.

As I was busy playing and drinking with my friends, I thought.. I saw a familiar face. Someone I knew.. But he was gone within second, as there were really way too many of peoples blocking my sight. And then, I saw him again. It's Tony. After I confirmed that it's really Tony, I sms-ed Carl, telling him that Tony is here, but not with us, he was with someone else. He was with his wife's brother and... Joe.

Carl and Dean joined. Tony's group joined us before Carl and Dean reached. And Joe was always dancing/shaking/dirnking with me, but that night he was really busy sticking himself to Tony. He seems like to protecting him from us. Sadly to tell that, we ALL were not showing any interest on Tony. And so, I didn't go and look for Joe to drink with him nor to dance with him, as he was BUSY with his NEW friend.

Tony was dancing with Joe all the times, until he saw Ken. He was like the north pole of a magnet and Ken was like the south. Tony was IMMEDIATELY sucked over to Ken. And he sticked himself to Ken all the time, and left Joe alone. Tony started to stick his body to Ken's. Something even worse was that, he was kissing Ken's neck like no body was watching.

Carl, Dean and I were so shocked when we saw Tony kissing Ken. We thought he wanted to be low profile on this? But now?

As a public figure, as a doctor in this town, with a wife and a child, are you supposed to do this in public? And you were doing it right in front of your wife's brother?! Are you NUTS? So you confessed to your wife's brother that you are GAY, but does the publics know? No they DON'T!

And the thing that really got us(Carl, Dean and me) mad at Joe was that, why is Joe still trying to "protect" Tony from leaking his gay news to the public? Since that he had told the public himself already by kissing and sticking his body and dancing like a gay couple with Ken.

And whenever we mentioned about The Public Figure Tony, Carl and Joe would start their arguement. Which I think that it is SERIOUSLY uneccessary. Joe make it sounds like Carl is trying to hook Tony up, but I can tell that Carl is not showing any interest on Tony, Carl was just trying to warn Tony of being careful on not forgetting WHO HE WAS. But Tony seems like he is no longer afraid of letting everyone around him to know that he is GAY.


***************


Present Days.
I saw Tony when I was with my friend in a club. He was there with his wife's brother. I ignored him, and he didn't say hi to me either. Who cares anyway?

Every of our friends says that Tony WAS a good husband. He has a good career, he treats his wife and his child well. And he is quite a good looking person with a good body figure. I can tell that he can attract ladies easily. Lots of my friend says that Tony is good looking. (For the first sight)

And now.. Every of my friend goes EWWWW.. whenever we mentioned Tony.

Tony's rumour is everywhere. And it is spreading in a very fast speed. Lots and lots of people knows him. The real him. His image is now as ugly as *BEEP*.

He can't blame anyone. But he, himself.


Story ENDS here!


He, the so-called Public Figure..

Get himself married to avoid gay issue.

Get Carl and Joe argued over something which is so stupid and pointless. (If Tony had never asked us to hide and cover up that he is a gay, Joe will not try to cover his shit news. And Joe is still trying to cover it up when Tony has already SHOWN the world that he is GAY. And Joe will never lied to us, and Carl would never quarrel with Joe. And shit things would never happen between us. Thank you Tony)

Spoiled his image and good impression in everyone's eyes. Everyone that know him.


***************


You all may ask that, if this is something which that Tony asked us not to tell and shared to anyone, and why am I still posting this up here. I do this, it's because, I get the permission from Tony. Not by asking him in person, but by the act he shown us. We don't see a need on helping him to cover his issue up.

If you all still think that it is not good on spreading this here, well, you can't stop me from doing that, as this is my blog. And I did not abused anyone. I DID NOT. The names were all fake anyway.

Believe it or not, I did not created this.
