MEW EZEKIEL
"What happen baby? You scared my life out of me."
I saw him stilled. I know that he is somehow scared of telling me the truth. But I need to know! The sight of him earlier, crying because of pain, pained me too. And when he passed out, I almost made the highway my own racing track in order for me to arrive at the hospital that fast.
"I-, I'm sorry Love, I was trying to clean and reach those file of blue prints on top of the shelve of your room. I thought the table was sturdy enough to carry my weight but, the next thing I knew I was on the floor and crying in pain. And now, this. This the result of stupidity!"
I saw tears cascading through his eyes, and the scary feeling that I felt earlier vanishes away, and relief floods in when the reality of him being okay sinks in.
"I'm sorry too baby. I failed on taking care of you. I promised you on this three-day vacation that I am pampering and take good care of you. I feel guilty of what happen, I should have comeback earlier. I---"
I was silenced when he kisses me on the lips. I was about to answer his kisses when he moved away.
"I'm fine Mew, no need to worry. Just a little fracture, but I'll be fine."
"What about your mom?"
He paled. "O-ohh, my gosh Love, my Mom! What will she say? I forgot about her."
"Don't worry okay? I'll call her later. You rest now. You needed it."
He is hesitant to take a rest but i think the medications is having it's effects gain and he is slowly dropping to sleep.
When I am sure that he is in deep sleep, I searched for his cell and look for his Mom's contact details. After a few scroll, I found what i am looking for.
I blew a deep breath. It's now or never.

It was around 9 in the evening when saw Gulf move again, like he was awake. I rushed to his side immediately.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Much better but i think, i need another dose of painkillers, my fracture hurts."
I worry at what he said, "Okay, would you like to eat something? Before you take those medicines."
He nooded. I left theroom ang proceed to the nurses station, ask for those medicine and call a food delivery for Gulf. A few minutes after, the food arrive and prepare it to fee him.
I saw how painful it is for him to move so I opted to feed him. Luckily, his appetite wasn't affected by the accident. He finishes a bowl of soup since it was the only food he can take. The nurse arrived and gave him a few capsules to take. He was advised to take a rest, so I help him lie down.
"Love, have you called Mama?"
"Yes, I did baby. And she will be arriving anytime soon."
His eyes grew wide and he paled. "I-is she m-mad?"
Worry is shown is his eyes. "No baby, she isn't. She just ask for the hospital name. I booked a flight for her immediately after you cry and worry about her."
Relief took over him. But after a few seconds, his worry face is back then ask "What will happen now Mew? We cannot stay as a secret anymore."
I felt a pang of pain with what he said, but I tried to understand him. "I have no intentions to do that baby, let's just wait for your mom, and we are going to talk okay? Don't worry, I'll handle it. Just rest."
Satisfied with my answer, he slowly close his eyes and drift to sleep.
I didn't know that I will fall asleep at the same time, when I woke up, I was greeted by a pair of eyes, sitting on the couch inside my boyfriend's hospital suite.
"Aunty, sawasdee krap." And I bow.
"Hi Mew. Long time no see. But sadly, we met at again at this kind of situation."
Her face void of any emotions, but i still bowed my head in embarrassment.
"I, want to apologize for the situation. We, I mean have been careless."
"No, it not your fault love. It's mine."
I saw Gulf trying to sit down, but his face contorted because of pain.
"Stay still. You'll hurt yourself baby."
"Mew, can I talk to my Mama for a minute?" He requested. I want to stay and listen but I respect his decision.
"Okay baby. I'll just go to the hospital canteen. Just phone me if you need anything."
I turn around and face his mom "I'll leave you two for a moment Ma'am. If anything happens, my bab-- I mean Gulf's phone is inside that small bag. Phone me for anything."
I face the door and walk out the room. I feel the same deja vu 7 years ago.
But this time, I won't let him go.
Not now. Not ever.
