Dark Horses

Part 39 - Evil

Gulf was hospitalized. Mild rushed Gulf to the nearby hospital and called Pufai right away. He didn't call Mew or his family, He knew they will be dead worried. Mild sat outside the room door with Pufai's in heavy thoughts. Pufai was sad as him. She held his arm with love and led her head on his shoulder.

Gulf was hurt, broken, and absolutely lost.

"I have never seen Gulf like this. Ever. " Mild held Pufai's palm tightly.

"Love does crazy things to people, Mild. The more we love, the more we feel pain." Pufai's words pierced his heart.

He held her chin and looked at her eyes, "I have never treated you special but you still chose me. Married me. Why Pufai ?"

Pufai smiled, "Because I love you for who you are, not what I wanted you to be. "

Mild blinked twice registering her words in his mind.

"Today, I realize how fortunate I am to have someone like you as my love. Thank you. And I will do my best to be a good husband to you. I love you. "

He leaned in and softly kissed her lips, "I love you too."

Mild thought, I could be there instead of Gulf, How lucky I am to have my love by my side. How many people can say that? and I didn't treat her well. Fuck. Not going to happen anymore. She is going to feel what she deserves. Pure love and care.

Gulf stirred in his sleep, his head hurt. He felt a soft warmth hand on his cheek, He leaned in involuntarily feeling the warmth, "Mew..." He muttered unconscious, "Don't leave me..Please..."

Mew looked at him with a pool of tears in his eyes, He sat next to asleep Gulf, regretting everything he had done to the poor man in front of him. He first treated him like shit, then made him feel special, cared for him, made him feel he felt something for him, then loved him, and then tore him apart and left him on his own.

How could he do that to Him? Gulf? He never even told him that He loved him.

Mew sat there, crying softly. He broke down leaning down his head in his hands.

"I am so sorry..I won't do this again. You're going to be free now. Nothing is going to harm you ever again. I will keep you safe, My baby. " Mew whispered in his ears, touching his cheek softly.

He stood up and stared at Gulf for one last time. Gulf briefly saw a blurred picture in front of him, he held his arm in the air, "Mew?"

Mew stared at him sadly. He walked backward slowly.

He walked out of the back door swiftly.

"Mew! Mew? " Gulf shouted with his eyes closed.

"Hey! Hey! Gulf, What's wrong.." Mild calmed him down slowly with Pufai next to him.

"Was Mew here? I saw him."

"What?" Mild turned to Pufai, "No Gulf, It's just us... Mew never came. "

Gulf looked at them and laid back slowly in disbelief.

"It's okay, just relax. You need to rest, We are here. " Mild sat next to him holding his hand.

Gulf closed his eyes while his heart broke, I saw him, I felt him, He came didn't he?

Mew sat in his car and drove to a secret destination, he wiped his tears harshly again and again as it never stopped. The general arrested Stu and took him to a warehouse. He let Lhong lose after he kissed him and held him hostage in his very room.
