FORGETTING the PAST

PROLOGUE

In the dark corner of the parking lot where Tyler Tan Vihokratana's car was parked, a young man was waiting.

He's been there standing for how many hours.

When he saw Tyler approahing, he quickly walked away. It was okay for him to catch a glimpse of the young man even from a distance.

What he didn't know was that the young man had been watching him for a while. Tyler tsked and shake his head.

"He's here again" Tyler whisper.

Tyler sensed that the young man had no intention of moving or doing anything, so he started walking towards his car.

When Tyler saw that the young man was leaving, he suddenly chased him and grab him by his hand.

Neal was shocked and frightened when suddenly someone grab his hand. He was even more shocked when he saw that the person who grab his hand was Tyler.

His previous fear and shock was suddenly replaced by love, apprehension, and longing for the person in front of him.

On the other hand, Tyler was still gasping for air while still holding Neal's hand. When Neal saw that Tyler's breathing was fine he suddenly came back to his senses and struggled to get out of Tyler's grip.

He didn't know why he felt so weak now.

But Tyler tightened the grip on his hand so he couldn't get away. Neal's hand was already hurting because of the tightness of Tyler's grip on him.

Tyler looks everywhere except him. He held him tighter as if he didn't want to let him go. But who is he really fooling?

Tyler does nothing but to keep quiet and look anywhere except him.

When Neal couldn't bear it anymore he suddenly spoke,

"WHAT DO YOU NEED!? LET GO OF ME, IT HURTS!" he couldn't control himself anymore so he suddenly scream because of the pain.

Finally, Tyler looked at him in the eyes. After so many years, their eyes met again. Neal wanted to believe what he saw in Tyler's eyes. But he knew that it was impossible.

He couldn't stand Tyler's intense stare so he looked away.

He looked at him again when Tyler suddenly questioned him, "Why are you here? Are you the one who always puts anything next to my car?"

Neal didnt know what Tyler was saying. When Neal was about to answer, Tyler suddenly spoke again causing him to interrupt what he was going to answer.

"Nevermind, I don't care anyway" - Tyler

He was hurt by the coldness of Tyler's voice. He thought that this was not the man he knew. He could feel the tears forming at the corners of his eyes.

He wanted to leave as soon as possible because he didn't want Tyler to see that he was weak.

"Oh okay, but can you let go of me? I want to go home" Neal said

" Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Tyler asked him. Ignoring what Neal said.

"I just passed by" Neal sighed, he could't do anything but to answer.

Tyler had no reaction to Neal's answer so he looked at him again.

"Liar" Tyler whisper but Neal heard it

"I'm telling tru-

Tyler suddenly shouted, "B*LLSHIT! I KNOW YOU ALWAYS COME HERE"

"You just don't know, I've been watching you too from afar"

Shock can be seen on Neal's face.

"I know you're always waiting next to my car. I also know that when you see me coming, you'll leave right away." Tyler continued in a soft voice.

Neal felt the bitterness and pain in Tyler's voice.

He panicked. He didn't know what to do and what to say so he abruptly grab his hand back, say sorry and leave right away.

Tyler was sad and hurt. Neal left him again without explanation. He just want answers from Neal. He feels so tired. He always ask himself why he is always left behind.

"Why is it always me? Didn't I deserve explanations from the people I love?"

When he got no answer from his questions, he hurried back to his car and drove back home.

In the dark alley, Neal was found walking home alone feeling empty and sad.

"I left him again without giving any reason" Neal whisper

On the other hand, he though it was only right that he left there immediately before he could tell all the reasons and secrets he was keeping. It was all for Tyler's sake.

He could feel again the tears that are forming in his eyes. He could no longer hold back the tears so he let it fall.

"I'm so sorry, I miss you so much. I wish I can hug you but I can't. You don't know how much I want to hug you. I had to restrain myself. I love you, I hope you'll forgive me" Neal whisper.

He smiled as he continue walking and harshly dried the tears that kept falling from his stubborn eyes.
