Chapter 12. Forgiveness

Forgiveness

They all rushed to check on Mew. Gulf held his hand to check for the pulse but back off instantly. He was burning. He checked his forehead and his own forehead creased as he knew Mew has caught infection. 

His wound was bleed dry. He had to take him to hospital as soon as possible. 

"Phi'Thanitt call ambulance". He said Thanitt before turning to a shocked and affraid Tae. 

"Phi. We have to take him to the hospital. Judging by the vitals. He need to be put under observation. Am afraid he had not eaten anything for two days. Also his wound is infected so he is burning with fever. I have to run few tests. Lets go Phi". He shook him as Tee came back into the apartment with paramedics.

Gulf rushed with them in the ambulance while Tae Zee and Thanitt Tee were driving their respective cars. He was rushed to ICU with Gulf inside. 

As predicted, he was empty stomached. He was instantly attached with I/V's and the nursing staff was ushered to get his temperature low. He was unconscious due to high fever. Taking all precautionary measures, Gulf exit to the waiting area. 

"Thank you Thanitt for finding him out". Tae hug him in tears. 

"Phi. He is my bud. I cant see him in pain. I dont know what happened exactly. But i will be there with him. Always". He was in tears too. His best friend was in pain and he could not do anything.

"Phi'Thanitt. Why dont you go home and take rest? In this way we can switch". Gulf suggested and Thanitt contemplated before looking at the aspects. Gulf was right.

"Okay. I will come back in some hours with food okay? Need anything from home"? 

"Yes Thanitt. Bring mine and Zee's cloths. Here are the keys". Tae handed him the bunch of keys and Thanitt left hospital glancing over Mew one more time. 

"He is fine. He needs time to recover himself". Gulf guided Zee and Tae to the couches. 

"Its all because of me. Its all because of my stupidity. I didnt listen to Phi'Mew. Only if i had listened, it wouldn't have happened. Phi'Tae wouldnt be angry. Phi'Mew didnt have to be hurt and in hospital.

Am such a bad brother. A shame to the family. Am so sorry Phi. Am the cause of all this. Please forgive me. Please". Zee fell on his knees, gripping Tae's legs. 

"Shushhh. Dont be stupid Zee. Its no'one's fault. It just that you cant stop yourself falling in love with anyone. It was just too shocking. You know people dont approve same sex relationships in our society. And then being brothers. I just got panicked. 

I was concerned about society more than my brothers. I became selfish and narrow minded for a moment. But now i realise, it does not matter who you love, as long as you both keep it low. 

I dont want you both to hurt due to some homophobics. And being a blood related is yet another issue. Am not offending you Zee. But we have to live with this reality. You getting my point"? Tae was hesitant not to hurt him. He had already hurt Mew alot. To a point that he chose to stay alone. 

"Yes Phi. I wont disappoint you ever Phi. I cant live without you Phi. But i Love him Phi. I cant help it. Am sorry Phi". 

"Its okay Zee. Calm down. Am okay Zee. Lets wait foe Mew to wake up. And hope he will forgive me too. Will he"? Tae asked him and Zee was silent for a moment. Honestly he didnt know what to say.

"He will Phi. He loves you". Gulf patted his shoulder. "Phi. Why dont we take some rest, yeah? The staff will inform us, but Mew wont wake up for a good hours. So take rest. Have some sleep".
