~* One More Time *~

Epilogue

Gulf positioned himself inside Mew's embrace. Mew rested his chin on Gulf's head and smiled, caressing his coarse hair.

"I hate it when it suddenly rains. I really couldn't predict Thailand's weather. It was hot at one moment, and another minute, it will rain."

Mew chuckled as he wandered his eyes, looking around the small cabin they were staying right now. The wooden cabin was quite small but felt very cozy.

"How did you find this place?", Mew curiously asked.

"I always stay here every time I came to visit for the last seven years. You know I couldn't set up my own tent..."

Mew was startled. For the last seven years, he visits Thailand and stays here? Gulf seemed to be able to read Mew's facial expression. He chuckled.

"Yes... I've been waiting for you for the last seven years if that's what you were wondering. I came to this place every September 15th. Just so you know..."

Mew's eyes started to get watery. He stared at Gulf with a soft gaze. "What if I never come?"

"I'll keep waiting..."

"Why?"

"Because I owe my life to you"

Mew looked at him in confusion. Gulf just smiled.

"Do you remember when I was in a coma after Baifern woke up?"

Mew nodded.

"At that time, I thought it would be better if I just die. I don't think I have anything left in this world for me to keep alive"

"Then?"

"Then you happened"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard what you said to me"

"What did I say?"

"Gulf, let's just die and be together, shall we?", Gulf mimicked Mew's words.

Mew was startled. He never thought Gulf would heard him saying. Gulf turned his head and put his warm hand on Mew's cheek.

"That time, there was something urging me to wake up. Because... I realized I don't want to die yet... I have you..."

"Gulf..."

"Mew Suppasit Jongcheveevat, I will only say this once. Listen to me carefully..."

Mew waited for Gulf to say in anticipation. Gulf didn't let his voice out but he mouthed the word 'I love you' to him.

"There, I said it..."

"You didn't say anything!", Mew replied in protest.

"I did! You're just deaf!"

"Say it again, wifey.... wifey?", Mew teased him.

Gulf pouted, "Bastard!"

"So, how about the letter?"

"I burnt it!"

"You what?"

"I met you, so why should you read the letter?", Gulf's face reddened in embarrassment.

"Ahh, you're shy! Tell me what you wrote!"

"Nothing!"

"Tell me!"

"I wrote nothing..."

"Are you sure?", Mew started to tickle him.

"Mew, you bastard! Let me go!"

"I won't!"

"Mew!"

"I love you, Gulf Kanawut Traipipattanapong! I love you to the moon and back!"

"I know..."

They stared for a long time, heart to heart before they finally fell into a deep kiss.

'I, Mew Suppasit Joongchevevat, will always love you, Gulf Kanawut Traipipattanapong. You're my heart, my soul and my breath. Now and forever...'
