Chapter 9: His Side of the Story

Mew's Point of View

I tried to protect Gulf, but it was too late when I realized that what I was doing was not protection at all.

Gulf was second year in university when I started to develop feelings for him.

I was fourth year back then. Aron and I were still together. We were together for three years. But when I met Gulf, I realized that I did not really like Aron.

I was walking past the auditorium of the university. Above the stage were 2nd year Business Administration students performing a stage play for their Arts class. A stage play version of Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman.

A cute looking guy caught my attention. He was tall and fair. His face was angelic and his eyes were certainly mesmerizing. My attention was all on him as he recited his lines.

It was Gulf. It was Gulf who was the main character of the play. I was so carried away with his emotions and acting. He was almost professional. And right at that moment, I knew that I have found the one.

Gulf's display of his emotions was exceptional. I have never felt this moved before.

That same afternoon, I broke up with Aron.

"Mew, please don't do this," he begged.

"I don't love you anymore, Aron. I'm sorry."

I tried to leave but he hugged me from behind.

"Please don't leave me. I love you so much," he cried.

"I'm sorry." I removed his hand that was around me.

"Is this because of someone else?"

"No. This is only between you and me. My love for you is gone."

"I don't believe you!"

"If you won't believe me, then there's nothing I can do about it."

And there, I left him devastated.

The following day, I asked around about Gulf. Whether he has a boyfriend, what his social media accounts are, and what his phone number is. And on that same day, Aron also found out about my liking of Gulf.

"You liar! You told me it wasn't because of someone else!" Aron confronted me when he asked me to meet him at the back of the auditorium.

"Is that what you wanted us to talk about? Because if it is, I don't have time for this." I gave him a bored look.

"So it's Gulf? Don't worry Mew because I will make sure that you won't have him. Remember this, Mew. I can kill if I want to," he threatened.

But I did not believe him. It's too much. Why would he kill someone? He's overreacting.

Because of that, I continued asking for information about Gulf and how I would hit on him. He already has a boyfriend, but it did not stop me with my want to have him.

A friend also told me that Gulf once liked me. That is why I became more confident that I have a chance on this.

"What are these rumors that you want to hit on Gulf?" Hal, Gulf's current boyfriend, angrily asked me as I was having lunch with my friends at the cafeteria.

I stood up and faced him with a menacing face.

"I like him. So I want to take my chances."

His expression showed that it made him more angry.
