Chapter 39: A Storm Is Coming

Silence arrayed in the chamber of Fero as Sam stood in front of the lord with his head lowered while biting his lips.

There were only a few hours for the fate to be decided and it was either going to be both his and Gulf's lives or else a narrow escape for both of them. Sam knew.

Though Sam did not say anything about what he wanted to talk both he and Fero knew very well of what this is all about and both of them had only a few hours before the banquet to decide what they are finally going to do

"So Sam... what is it you want to say?"
Fero asked gently as every time when he spoke to Sam and though Sam sensed some anger from Fero at the dining room, now he could feel that all of that is gone from the man

"My lord, I.... it is about...."
Sam's lips felt dry though he badly wanted to say it out and he gulped like he had been in thirst for ages

"Gulf Kanawut. That... sl... that man."
Fero stopped himself from calling Gulf a slut and Sam wondered why but it is the least thing Sam cared at the moment

"What about him?"
Fero asked and Sam could not help but tremble a bit because he was honestly scared for his own life.

Gah Kana!!! I am not this brave!!
He said to Gulf in his thoughts to reduce his stress and unknowingly he felt that he had tears collected in his eyes

Fuck this. I want to cry now. If I ever survive this man's wrath, Gulf you are going to buy me a full course meal.
Sam kept on mummbling in his thoughts and everything in his mind sounded so ridiculous right now that he thought he was going insane

"Sam..."
Suddenly Fero placed his hand gently on Sam's shoulder making Sam look up instinctively and Fero smiled at him softly.

"Does any harm happening to that guy, hurt you this much? So much that it is enough for you to cry?"

Fero gently wiped his tears away and if only he knew how scared Sam was to cry like that he would have bursted out laughing. But a part of Sam truthfully feared for Gulf's well-being because by any chance he gets executed, there will be no chance for Gulf to ecscape

"Tell me Sam... would it hurt you if this happened to me?"
Fero asked once again, his voice cracking somewhere in the middle and Sam did not know why but his heart sank to it

"I... was always hurt when it happened to you, My Lord, wasn't I?"
Sam said out muttering softly as a matter of fact and Fero let out a small chuckle.

"Yes right. It was only you and your mother who truly worried about me."
Fero said as he stood in front of Sam again

"I... I... still do. I really do. Fero I do."
Sam did not know what came to him but he felt the need to say it. To confirm it that he really does care. To Fero and to himself both. When those words escaped his mouth only, he understood the depth of how much he cared for this guy from inside. How much he had wished for this guy to be good so that he did not have to choose sides, how much he wished that this guy did not hurt Gulf so he could have not hated him, just how much.... he wished everything would have been different

"When you call me my name, it takes me back to the old days where you used scream it in the garden and play with me."
Fero let out a distant laugh

"You were such a brat Sam. You never called me Phi. You would scream my name loudly and stomp your feet throwing tantrums making me let you win all the games we play."

This time both Fero and Sam chuckled and Sam sweared he felt something warm inside his heart

"I loved that you know. I loved how fearless you can be of me and I adored you as kid. Well I still do."
He paused and then looked at Sam
