Mew slowly got up, he looked at Gulf who's now looking away. He pick up a piece of teared paper and he read it.

Divorce.

His mom.

He hitch his breath to calm himself. Mew don't want Gulf to be scared of him. He remembered Jom's words.
"He has a dark past, be gentle on him."

"Babe, You know that you can trust me right? What happened love? Tell me." Mew slowly walk towards Gulf.

Gulf look at him. His forehead knotted.
"Are you sure you will still love me if you know what I am hiding?" His voice cracked. He's restraining his emotions.

"I am sure and I promise to love you no matter what.. Come on babe.. You can tell me anything, We are husbands and that means your burdens are mine. So your tears, sadness, worries and any negative feelings, Pour them on me... Let's share those together, you don't have to be alone because you have me."  Mew reach to hold his hand.
"Or do you want to talk to a professional one... Like a psychiatrist."

Gulf glared at him. "I am not crazy!"

"It's not about that babe, I didn't mean to offend you." Mew tried his best to pacify him, he sigh and said, "Fine.. If you're not yet ready to share it all to me.. I am here, I will wait."

Gulf's knees gave up, blood keeps on gushing out of his leg, his shorts are now dripping in blood.

Mew caught him. "Let me take care of your wound first. "

He carried Gulf to their bedroom. He get the first aid kit, and gently with too much care, he cleaned and gauzed the slashes on Gulf's leg.

After he finished, Gulf decided to open up on Mew.

"I am being unfair, you know." He started.

Mew pulled him to lay on his chest.
Gulf laid beside Mew, his cheek is pressing on Mew's chest, while the latter, keep on caressing his hair.

"Why?"

Gulf sniffed, his tears started to fall.
"You didn't have any idea on who I am and what I've been through. Yet you married me, You love me as I am and I am still keeping this a secret on you."

"If you are comfortable enough to share. Tell me anything babe, I'll listen."

"It started when I studied in France. I met your sister there, We became friends and then I meet the first man that I loved." Gulf squeezed his eyes on that bittersweet memories.

(Flashback)

"FRANK SOLITAIRE, PLEASE COME HERE INFRONT AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM."

Jom hit Gulf on his side. They are outside of the room for the Engineering students. Peeking in the window.

"That's him?" She asked Gulf who's now literally swooning.

"Yes! Isn't he so handsome." Gulf dreamily said.

"Oh my God. How did you met him?"

"We bump into each other in the cafeteria. He poured some juice on my art materials accidentally. Then he ask for apology and he replaced everything, Then he introduced himself to me.. We became friends and we dated."Gulf was still overwhelmed.

"You can't just trust anyone Gulf. What if he is some fucking psycho."Jom warned him.

"No, shut it Jom.. Don't jinx it."

But Jom was indeed right.
Frank changed big time all through their relationship but Gulf loved him so much and he endured.

Frank became overly possessive to the point that he is hurting Gulf and locking him on the basement so no one can see him.

One morning... Gulf find out that he is pregnant. One of the reasons why his father despises him because of this abnormality that he had.

He lost his communication with his mother and sister because Frank hide his phone.

Each time he plead Frank to let him go, he will be ended up locked in the basement.

One time, Gulf wanted to paint again.. Frank allowed him to go back to the university.and that incident happened.

Their professor wanted them to touch the male model for the perfect proportion of his body in their painting.

And Frank being as psycho as he was, he punished Gulf and he left him inside the basement.

Gladly Jom whose secretly investigating, she saved Gulf by the help of a lawyer friend.

Gulf woke up in the hospital.

"Jom? What happened? Is my baby okay?" Gulf look around. He touched his belly and somewhat it feels empty.

"Jom!!! My baby..." Gulf with wide eyes, he pleaded on her. "Give me back my baby. Pleas.."

"Gulf... The baby is gone."Jom enveloped him in a hug but Gulf push her away.

"Let me go! I want my baby Jom! Where is he? Please don't take him away."Gulf became berserk and he pulled the needle of the IV on his hand.

Nurses and doctors came in, giving him something to calm down.

"Pleasee Jomm, My baby..." Gulf was slowly drifting out..

Jom was crying her heart out of pity.

"Nattarika,  Help me find that asshole. I will kill him myself."

"He's not in the country as of now. He traveled 3 days ago." Beau, the husband of Nattarika answered.

"I'll call Gulf's mother." Jom made a decision.

"Please do."
