As the Song came to End, Mew stood up and walked towards Gulf. He had a different aura that made Gulf confused. His eyes were trying too hard to show anger, and rage even wanting to mock but Gulf could also see pain, and loneliness in them.

Before Gulf could say anything, Mew repeated the chorus in a very husky voice, "If you think that you can save me, break me down, and tame me

Here's your chance to do some damage, savage

Savage

Savage

Savage"

For a few moments, there was complete silence. Both were looking into each other's eyes. Trying to find something. Mew was searching for fear in Gulf, whereas Gulf was looking for Hope.

Mew, "So What are you going to do now?"

Gulf sighed and said, "I told you already. Please give me… a chance. I know it's difficult and you may feel rushed but….I just want you to think…. I…."

Mew interrupted Gulf in the middle. He looked at Gulf from Head to Toe and went back. He sat down and gestured to Gulf to come and sit across from him. They were facing each other now.

Mew, "Tell Me Something!!! What number is Mine? Or should I say my brother's?"

Gulf frowned and asked, "What number?"

Mew, "Well You work in a Club right? So You must have a list of clients whom you attend on a personal level or who are your regulars, something like that."

Gulf, still confused, said, "I am not understanding anything. List?"

Mew, "Come on! Of Course, you are an Ace Dancer in a Particular Club. You must be having a huge fan following or should I say, lovers!!!"

Gulf felt uncomfortable with the way Mew was saying, but He let Him continue.

Mew, "Aren't I right? My brother must be one of your new clients, whom you wanted to impress. So what number are we? 100 or less! You are talking about Us, then You can let me know this small detail can't you?"

Gulf took a deep breath and said, "You think I am here as a stripper who wants to impress and earn money.!"

Mew smirked, "What else can it be? If not for money why would you be interested in Me? After knowing everything, who would be sane enough to get acquainted with Me."

Gulf sighed and said, "Seriously!! Do you feel I need money or some other things to be near you or befriend you for benefits?"

Mew just shrugged off and said, "I can't see any other reason. If there is then Why don't you tell me?"

Gulf, "Will you believe me? Will you trust me? Will you for a moment be open-minded and think about whatever I want to let you know?"

Mew, "Go ahead! As I have promised Kinn to give you one chance after all. So let's hear your thoughts."

Gulf closed his eyes and very calmly said, "I like you. I maybe even love you. I know it's too fast, but the day we met for the first time I felt attached. I felt an invisible bond towards You."

Before He could say further, Mew roared, "I have no place for such absurd words in my life. Love is nonsense. It makes you weak. It gives one only and only pain. Above all, I am not interested in such things. Emotions and feelings are not there in Me and I don't want them ever. Take your so-called trash and get going."

Gulf knew He had to go very slow and make sure that He doesn't mess up or else He would lose His opportunity forever.

Gulf, "Mew, I know You don't feel these things right now but it's not like You would never feel. How about we be friends first? Slowly we would start having these emotions. I know that you find Feelings, and emotions a nuisance but, can't you even try for once to let me in? I just want to be there for you. I want to help you."

Mew angrily said, "Don't you understand!! I don't want to feel anything. I don't want to be weak. If I feel it, it will give power to that demon and He will win. I am not going to let that demon win. I am not going to repeat the same mistake that my Dad had made. He made a mistake by loving someone. By showing feelings. He showed them his weakness and that's what made Him lose. Made Us lose everything. I learned that night that People are afraid of their loved ones, of their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People must know that Love is evil and dangerous."

By now unknown to Mew, He was looking at Gulf with a sad face, tears streaming down his eyes. Gulf very slowly cupped Mew's face and very softly wiped His face. He joined His and Mew's foreheads and said, "Love doesn't always mean happiness. Love doesn't always mean no pain, no hurt, or no regrets. It can also mean being vulnerable and allowing that special person to see your weaknesses. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain."

By now even though Mew was being stubborn and trying to free himself, Gulf could easily feel Mew crying.

Gulf held their foreheads more tightly and said, "The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see, but when your soul wept. I know that you desire what could have been, You regret not being able to help your Dad. But it was not your fault. You need to understand that you need to learn how to let go."

Mew tried to go away from Gulf, but Gulf held his face and said, "I know You want Me to stay. My Love is asking for nothing in return, but only wanting to help you. You are saying that There is no place for love in your life. That you don't understand anything. Can't you just let me have a small place in your life? Can't you just help me in understanding what love means..." 

Gulf  took a deep breath, His voice trembling as He further said, "I promise I'll never make you regret loving me. Please…. Please give me one chance…. Please let me Help You… let me heal you…please ...."

With that, He placed His lips on Mew's lips. It was a simple kiss, filled with care. It was a simple kiss of longingness. A kiss to show pure Hope. A kiss to show that there's a true way to heal each other's hurts by understanding each other. A kiss that tells you to wait. To never let go, to hold onto each other and never lose hope. The one you feel it in your soul and know it in your heart......

Gulf kissed Mew!!! Will Mew accept this? What would be His reaction???

Thought of the day::::

Every True Love Story must have or has the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.
