You... Always & Forever (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 23

MEW EZEKIEL

I can't believe what I am seeing this time. 

It's Gulf, my husband. Alive and healthy! 

And wait, what did he call me? Engineer? Does he forgot that I am his husband and we are married?!

I reached for his hand and pull him for a hug. Both of them have shock expressions on their faces. 

Gulf tried to wiggle out of my embrace and Liam help him to do so. 

"What are you doing hugging him mjust like that?! Are you crazy?!"

"Gulf, baby don't you recognize me? It's me Mew! your husband!"

"I'm sorry but my name is not Gulf. I am Patrick."

"W-what? no your name is Gulf. You're my husband."

He stilled for a moment and then he grabbed his head painfully. "Agghh! My head!'

"Baby!"

"Sunshine!"

Both of us run to his side and held him but Liam shoved me away from him. I want to get angry but Gulf clung to him like his life depend on him. He suddenly lost consciousness. Liam bring him inside the house. He forbid me to follow them more, so I waited at the reception area.

After a few minutes, I saw Liam walking down the stairs. I was about to ask him how is Gulf but he cut me off.

"I'm sorry Engr. But I think I will not push through with the project."

I expect this. But I don't care about the project anymore. I want to know why my husband didn't remember me. And why is he called Patrick.

"I don't care about the project anymore Liam. I want to know about that guy. That guy is my husband. His name is Justin Gulf Jongcheeveevat--"

"No! He is not Gulf. His name is Patrick. He is my boyfriend since college. He has leukemia, and been medically induced to coma for his health. He just woke up recently."

This guy is lying. I know that Patrick guy is my husband. And I am gonna prove that to him! I walk out on our conversation and headed to the room I was checked in. I packed my things and leave the villa. I asked a local the nearest villa or hotel that I can rent. I need to think of a plan on how can I talk to Gulf. He needs to know the truth. 

After settling in, I dialed my private investigator, he's been working for me ever since. He's the one who helped me maintain the happenings in my husband's life before we got back together. 

"hello Boss?"

"Nelson. I need your help."

PATRICK/JUSTIN GULF 

I woke up with a severe headache. I tried to get up but someone stopped me. 

"Lie down & just rest. You need it."

"Liam, what happened? Why am I here?"

"You fainted because you were scared of that man. Don't come near him again. He's dangerous."

Dangerous? It's actually the opposite. I feel safe and comfortable with that hug. 

"You understand me, right PATRICK?"

"Ah,yes, y-yes. I got it."

"Good job. Now you stay here and rest. You are not allowed to go out without me, got it?" 

I nod my head. he walks out of the room. Just after he close the door. i rummaged through my drawer and look for my sketch pad. I go to the very first sketch of the faceless person in my dream. And like it has it's own life, my hand started to draw the eyes, the lips and the nose of the person whose name is Mew. 

Page after page, my hand keeps on doing it's thing. and when I finished the last page, i feel light and happy. He fits the man in my dream. Now all I have to do is talk to him. He might know who am I. 

I need to grabbed this opportunity to get to know my past self. He said he is my husband.  If that is true, Liam has a lot of explaining to do.

I remember his face. His eyes when he met mine. All I can see is shocked, relief but then replaced by anger then agony. Just for a short contact of ours eyes, I was able to saw a lot of emotions in him.

But Liam doesn't want me to be near him. I wonder what they were talking about after I passed out.

I stand up from my bed, and decided to go out of the my bedroom. I was walking without direction but my feet brought me to the veranda and there I saw Liam talking over the phone. I plan not to eavesdrop but when I heard my name, I hide behind the curtain and listen.

"No Dean, I cannot let go of him. He is my life now. After I saw him passed out in the forest, I vowed that if he survived I will show him all my love and care for him to love me back. And he is almost there, but that engineer ruin everything! Patrick is mine Dean! He. Is. Mine.!"

He cut off the line and throw the phone on too of the coffee table. He grabbed a stick of cigarette and light it up. He puff and puff. I cannot take the smell so I have to cut him doing that.

"You know that's bad. But why are you doing that?"

He immediately put out his cigarette in an ashtray before he face me.

"Hey. Didn't hear you coming. How long you've been there?"

Just enough to hear you talking to Dean. "Nah, just now. I went out of my room because I'm hungry. Let's eat?"

He grabbed his phone and led me to the kitchen. While he was preparing food, I am formulating a plan on how to get Dean's contact number. I know he can answer all of my questions.

But for now, I am going to pretend I didn't know anything and act accordingly to what he wanted.

Just for now.
