Gulf's Point of View

There is a right time for everything. You just have to trust the process.

For years I have secretly wished that Mew and I will be together again. But I was driven by anger and fear. I was angry at him for what he did to me. It was truly heartbreaking. And I was scared to take him back because I was afraid he'd hurt me again. And the next time he does, I might not be able to take it. I might never recover.

I thought that I could live without him. But I was wrong. Because I always knew to myself that the day will come when I will want to be with him again.

I was just too afraid to accept it.

I tried so much to be tough and made him think that I am better off without him. But at one point, I still gave in to Mew.

I met a car accident the day I chased Mew to the airport. I was told that I was brain dead for a week, and was in comatose for months. However, I miraculously came back to life.

The first face I saw when I tried to open my eyes was the face of the man I love the most.

It was Mew.

He was crying so hard, holding my hand like there was no tomorrow. And amid tears streaming down his cheeks, still he was very handsome. A sight to behold.

"Baby, you don't know how happy I am that you're alive. I thought I really lost you for good." he cried.

He then cupped my face and stared at my eyes like it was his most precious belonging in the world.

"I love you so much, Gulf." he hugged me tightly. I can feel his shoulders shaking.

My body is still weak. But little by little I felt stronger because of his hug. As if his body was recharging me.

This is how it feels to be in the arms of the person you love. Happy Peaceful. And contented.

Mew turned to me and claimed my lips.

Our kiss was long. And with every crashing of our lips and tongue was our longing for each other.

I only found out that there were many other people in the room when he broke away from the kiss. I blushed, embarrassed by our sudden display of affection.

Hugo went to us. He climbed into my hospital bed and enveloped me in a tight hug. MJ did the same.

Moments later, Mama and the others left the room to give us a private opportunity to talk.

I turned to Mew who was watching me in amazement.

"I love you. Sorry for giving you a hard time." I apologized to him with my weak voice.

"I should be the one apoligizing. It's all my fault." Mew's eyes twinkled. A tear fell from his eye.

"We both have our fair share of mistakes. The best thing we should do is treat the past as a lesson and just make new good memories together." I answered.

"You're right. I promise that--"

I cut him off.

"Shh. You don't have to promise anything, baby."

"I know my promises have caused you trauma. But still, I want to give you my assurance."

I just nodded and let him speak.

"Since you don't want me to make more promises, that's fine. But I just want to tell you that I'm not a perfect person. And I will never be one. I made a mistake back then. But I learned many lessons. I have reflected on my mistakes and I will always keep in mind the lessons I have learned. Because I don't want to be the reasons of your tears again. I never wanted to hurt you, baby. But still, I did. This time, I assure you that you made the right decision. I love you, my sunflower. And I always will."
