GEAR

EIGHTEEN

Zon was staring the whole time at the phone Saifah handed, he has been trying to give it back but seems like Fate is on Saifah's side because Zon's schedule became hectic, he even asked Team, Duen and Mark to give it back but Win won't let him and he can't even have time to meet the tallest, Bon was the same to Duen and Mark? Well, he tried giving it back countless times but it wasn't Saifah who will hand it back to Mark but the person Mark hates the most. Zon was startled as the phone rang again, he furrowed his brows as he saw the countless calls and messages from the girls, he rolled his eyes and put the phone on the table, he was about to sleep but again it rang.





"Maybe he handed it to me so I can figure it myself how much needless I am." said Zon as he sighed once again, the phone rang again, he just let it thinking that it will stop but the keep ringing the whole time that made him to turn it off but accidentally accepted the call making his eyes wide open, he got startled and was about to end the call but he stopped when he heard a familiar voice.







"I miss you," said the voice from the other line, Zon gulped as his heart started to beats fast as if he just rested from a long run. The same feeling he gets when the senior would say those words towards him back then, the same happiness but something's bit off, part of him is still sad, sad to the point that he can't even processed it in his mind that Saifah had said those not like they were still in Junior high but just now, now that he has being hesitant.







"I miss you so much," Saifah added, Zon was carried by his feelings that he didn't even realized that his tears were flowing, he just sniffed that made him to touch his face confirming that it really it his tears.








"I-I'm s-sorry..." the voice continued, Zon surely knows he still love him afterall. Years had passed and it is still what his heart wants. It is still Saifah and no other.






"Ai'Fah! Shia! Stop being so downed and let's go home!" Zon suddenly got curious as he wiped his tears, it was Win's voice.





"Who are you talking? Yourself?!" If Zon isn't mistaken it was North. The thought of Saifah being drunk made him feel worried.





"This bastard-- I still need to go to Duen, I'll leave first." After hearing the voice, the sudden cussing and yelling was heard, aside from his friend, Zon can even tell that they were like his friends.







"N'Zon should see this so he can forgive Ai'fah, I feel sorry for our kid." Said V. Zon pressed his lips as he heard those.






"This kid should suffer more." Win said as he tapped his drunken friend's shoulder twice.





"He had caused so much pain to that kid." Said North and by that, Zon ended the call before he teared up more.










As Win and V had put Saifah on his bed, the two looked at each other as they saw the photo on the nong on their friend's bedside table. Win knew how Zon suffered as to what his lover had said but he also knew how Saifah suffered trying his best to ignore the nong's presence. The two was about to go but suddenly Win's shirt was grabbed by Saifah making him to look at the nong, the drunk and miserable face of the nong made them to feel pity.




"H-Help me..." the drunk said as his voice cracked, Saifah then tried his best to sit on his bed.





"I-I want Z-Zon back..." he added making his two friends to sigh again.






"I was told by his parents not to go near him again... I-I promised... b-but I can't..." The sight of Saifah covering his face by his hands as he burst out in tears made the two to feel more worried, Win should't be interfering but when he needs help, this friend of his is always there willing to help without anything back.






"What does your heart says?" Asked V. Saifah raised his face, his eyes shows how hurt he was, just by looking at him can make the two to sigh thrice knowing it isn't a joke, if Saifah always jokes around but right now, he is not. He is being himself that he hid for almost the years they were together.







"Win him back, I was a coward back then... Grandpa hates gay, once he knew he forced me to break up with Zon... I was serious so serious but I was still a kid and I was afraid of him not until his last days, he asked for my forgiveness, I was... Happy," once more he cried, biting his lips to lessen the pain.







"But... I heard he undergone some surgery and when the time I came to faced him..." Saifah once again paused as he remembered those gaze comingfrom Zon- those look that as if he didn't knew him at all. The boy were happily laughing with his friends but why can't Zon look at him like he used to look at Saifah?






"His gaze were cold and it hurts me, as if I am someone he didn't knew. His sister explained it all to me... and his parents warned me not to... Go after him ever again." His heart were piercing, his head were hurt, his surrounding started to blur.






"He is still the one I love." Said the drunk before he passed out, Win sighed at how sad their love story is. One is being a jerk but still loves the other one who forgot him.






"I am lucky. I didn't suffer like them." Said Win, V nods and the two left the room leaving the drunk by himself sleeping.











Zon leaned on the wall as he waited Mark to pick him up but seems like his friend were getting late and the fact that Mark isn't picking up Zon's call made the latter to wonder and worry at the same time, Mark may look brave but his friend has heart too. More time had passed and Mark hasn't still showed up, Zon sighed ready to leave but was stopped as a car suddenly stopped infront of him.





"Can we talk?" Asked the driver whom he least suspected to be the driver. The butterflies in his stomach started to be wild again, Zon squinted his eyes as he tried to avoid the senior walking away.






"Please... I beg..." Said Saifah making Zon to stop walking and turned to face the senior, his heart softened seeing the senior's face, the dark circles below his eyes and his eyes who seems to look tired and exhausted. Zon gulped felt worried, the senior surely is handsome but today, his aura isn't lively as usual, Zon nodded making Saifah to smile, the smile that Zon can't figure out if it was a bitter one or a happy one but he called it bittersweet.
