Chapter 38

TULIPS

"I don't have a fancy car to drive you, Goth."

Choice said as the school shuttle bus dropped them at the medical college.

"It's fine, P," Goth muttered.

They entered the senior medical dorm, a seven storey building that was neatly furnished and made comfortable for the hardworking medical students.

The dorm seemed quiet as most students were in class for their morning lectures.

Choice opened the door to his room and they both walked in. He switched on the lights and told Goth to make himself comfortable.

Goth avoided sitting on the well made bed. He didn't want to violate his senior's bed space so he sat on the couch opposite the bed. The room was really neat and everything was in order. There was pictures of the human body and various medical inclined photos hung on the wall.

Choice opened the curtains that led to the balcony to let in sunlight. He went to the bathroom and soaked a small towel with water.

"Let me damp your body a bit to cool your temperature."

"Is the water cold?"

"Yes."

Goth felt weak. He didn't want any water to touch his body. Choice was a student doctor. He just had to trust him. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

"Look, your lips are dried." Choice rubbed his thumb along the lips out of impulse. This made Goth shiver from his touch.

"That means you are dehydrated."

"Dehydrated?" Goth asked.

Choice nodded. He helped the young man remove his shirt. He immediately began dabbing the wet towel on Goth's body.

Goth flinched on each touch. He felt like many needles was piercing his skin at the same time. Choice gave him some pain killers and told him they will go see a health specialist later in the evening.

Goth laid down on the sofa and watched Choice.

"Er... Goth, I can't really cook. what will you like to eat? I will go buy it for you."

"I am fine. P, you have done a lot for me today."
Goth breathed deeply. "I will eat later, P. But can I borrow your phone?"

"Sure," Choice said. He took his phone from his pant pocket and gave it to Goth.

"Did you loose your phone?"

"No. I..." Goth paused when he recalled his mom collecting his phone from his hand. "I left it at home, P."

Goth quickly dialled a number. The second person closest to his heart after his mother was his aunt. The only surviving relation from his dad's side who loved and care for him like her own son.

"Hello..."

"Aunt Chereen, it's Goth."

"Uhh, Goth, how are you? This is not your number?" Her thin voice echoed in the room.

Goth swallowed hard. He glanced at Choice.
"That is what I wanted to tell you about. Mom collected my phone."

"Why? Is she acting up again?"

"Ugh... Yes... " Goth went ahead to tell her of the incident that led to his phone been seized by his mom.

He didn't mind that Choice was listening to the conversation. He Just wanted to let it out that way.

Aunt Chereen had been there for him when he was battling with his sexuality. She always supported him and said whatever path he chose on life, she will always be there for him.

"Don't worry, Goth, I will talk to her about it. Don't worry. Study hard. Bye."

Goth returned the phone to his senior.

"That's what happened?" Choice asked.

"Yes."

"I understand. Thanks for been open to me."

"Thanks P."
Choice sat beside his junior. He felt pity seeing him in this state. He wished he could kiss all the pains away.

"Love, I will take you home this evening. I will meet your mom and explain everything to."

Goth turned his head towards his senior. Was he crazy? His mom will not listen to him.

"No, P. She won't listen to you."

"There's no harm in trying right. Don't worry. Rest up. Don't you want to lay on the bed?"

"No I'm fine here," Goth replied as he relexed back on the sofa.

"I will go get you something to eat."

Goth nodded as he watched his senior leave the room.

The food tasted bland in Earth's mouth. For a moment he totally blanked out.

He was not fully aware that he was sitting with Ploy and Ex. He was not even hearing what they were saying.

"Earth... A'Earth!" Ex yelled in his ear.

"Oucch... Ex," Earth scratched his aching ear. "I heard you the first time."

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing."

"What is this strange feeling going on around? Every body seemed to be having heartaches. What about you Ploy?"

Ex stirred his food and shoved a spoonful in his mouth glancing at his two friends.

"If anybody is having any heart aches," Ploy retorted. "Then you are the one causing headaches."

"Let me tell you something," Ex cut in. "Fern is hunting for a husband, Goth is having a heart break, and Earth is... Earth how's your new boyfriend?"

Earth adjusted in his chair as if to run. "What boyfriend?"

Ex looked at his friend eyeball to eyeball. "Don't tell me..."

"Ex, stop already. Why are you so interested in my love life? You ruined everything already?" Earth muttered. He couldn't believe he listened and followed Ex's advice.

Ex shook his head jokingly. "Just have fun and remember to keep my own share."

"Shut up Ex."

"What is he talking about, Earth? Are you really dating that guy?" Ploy asked curiously.

Earth choked immediately and grabbed a cup of juice.

"I am not dating him. Not any more."

"Huh...!" Ex eyes lit in surprise. "No more. What happened? Where you dumped already?"

"Yes and it's all your fault Ex."

Ex burst into an annoying laughter.

"My fault. Oh my god... Ploy did I advice my friend here to go date a monster?"

"Ex you did, you asshole."

"Now you made me a sinner," Earth said.

"Sinner? What the heck? Earth are you Buddhist?" Ex continued laughing.

"You are crazy, Ex." Earth stood up from his seat and left his friends.
