Days were passing with Ming drowning himself in his studies and work, where as Phana felt restless without Ming's playful antics..
It was surprising to him that once what used to make him irritated, were actually the things he started to miss the most nowadays.
He craved for Ming's attention.. he wanted to see Ming.. but he couldn't do that.. his parents needed him by their side..
One day he came back home after an exhausting day at office.. he was dead tired..
He went upstairs to the terrace after freshening up a bit..
This was something that Forth had told him to do.. when they were in a relationship, Forth would call him up to tell him to go to the roof top and they would talk over the phone under the same night-sky making those innumerable stars witnesses of their love..
For Forth, it was something that made him feel that they were together without actually being together by their sides.. as if lessening the physical distance between them..
They used to spend hours talking to each other this way..
But now it was all considered as past.. although Phana couldn't let go off this habit.. he would spend some time at their rooftop everyday after coming back from work...
The cool breeze would calm his mind and soul..
It somehow gave him strength to fight against all the heartbreaks he was facing..
Time made him realize that he indeed was in love with Ming..
But the way Ming stopped showing any hint of affection towards him, made it even harder for him to heal his broken heart.
He was deep in his thought when his phone started to ring..
He fetched his phone, only to see that it was Ming,calling him..
He immediately took the call..
" Phana.. are.. are you busy now..?" Ming's voice sounded nervous..
"no.. I'm free now, actually.." Phana casually said..
"but didn't you go to office today?" he again asked calculating the time difference in his mind..
" uhm.. no.. I took a day off today.." Ming's voice was soft on the other side of the line..
"why? Are you sick, Ming? Please don't say you're sick.." Phana sounded restless..
"does Phana care for me?" Ming thought in his mind, but a smile broke onto his face .
"Ming, answer me.. are you sick? What happened?" Phana voiced his worries..
" No.. I'm fine.. actually today is something special.. so I got an off day and I was feeling lonely after waking up in the morning, So I thought of calling you.." Ming softly spoke, making Phana's heart flutter.
"Ming still has feelings for me?" Phana thought in his mind..
"uhm.. what did you say? Today is special? What is it today?" he asked.
" uh..Its.. uhm.. Its nothing.." Ming's stammering made Phana curious!
"Ming... are you going to tell me or do you want me to hang up the call?" Phana sternly said..
"Phana.. I swear.. its nothing.." Ming felt embarrassed..
"Okay.. I'm hanging up.. but before that, lemme remind you something, which most definitely you've forgotten.. the place, where you work,is actually under my name... so you can't hide the reason why you're getting a free day off from work, from me..." He waited for Ming to something without cutting the call though..
"Uh.. its just my birthday today.. so Ryan told me to take an off day from work.." he mumbled, making Phana smile triumphantly . but that smile didn't last for long, as the words took their time to register on his mind..
"what! What did you say? Its your birthday today?" he questioned just to get it confirmed by the other person..
" yea..yeah.." Ming stammered again..
" Happy Birthday Ming... I'm so sorry, for not knowing your birthday.." He pleaded.. he felt sad all of a sudden..
"thanks.." Ming finally felt happy... his wish have been granted.. he wanted to hear the birthday wish from Phana..
"I'm really sorry Ming.."
"Its okay Phana.. we never talked about stuffs like this.. so you didn't know.." Ming smiled while talking..
"so birthday boy, what do you want as gift on your birthday?" Phana teased Ming..
"I wish you were here.. with me.." Ming's reply made Phana realize the sincerity in them..
" Ming... do you really like me?" Phana asked his biggest worry..
" what do you think?" Ming countered...
" I don't know, Ming... I don't know anything.. but what I know for sure, is that I can't bear another heartbreak.. not at all.." His voice was filled with so much pain that it was hurting Ming , even though he was on the other part of the World..
" Phana, won't you give me a chance to prove myself?"
"what if oneday you realize you don't love anymore?" Phana's voice cracked this time..
" Phana, let me prove my love na?" Ming's sweet voice was making Phana weaker..
" Phana , please give me a chance? Please?" Ming kept on talking..
" Will you love me, knowing that I don't love you?" Phana muttered..
" I'll love you enough to cover for both of our sides for the time being.. and then I'm sure oneday you'll love me back.."
Phana couldn't utter a word after hearing that.. he kept mum..
" Phana.. are you there?" Ming was worried..
" Ming, I'm scared of loving you..." was all Phana said..
