Chapter 8

“I’m sorry.” Gulf broke the long silence between him and Mew. Mew was driving him home as Gulf was not in a good condition and Eye do not have driving license to bring them home. Therefore, Bright would drop Eye off as their home was in same direction. The conversation he had earlier with Mew ended abruptly when Melanie and others entered the room. His eyes just could follow Mew’s footsteps leaving them.

“I’m sorry for everything.” Gulf apologized again as Mew kept giving him a silent treatment.
“What are you sorry for?”

“Everything. About Type and everything.” Gulf was trying not to cry, looking out of the car’s rear window. Everything were too much for him today. The incident before, his parents and now the lies he created. And he was sure Mew needed some explanation.

“Why did you lie Gulf? You know what, I hate a liar!” Mew was furious. He wanted a reasonable explanation from Gulf. Gulf's action was too absurd for him to accept.

“I just want to be your friend. You did not like me from our first meeting. And when I mentioned about Type, you seemed attracted. That's why I used Type to be your friend. I’m really sorry.” You hate me, but you are fond of Type.

“You should tell me that you are him from the first time I asked you about him. I really felt betrayed and disappointed, Gulf.” Mew grabbed the car steering with strong grip. He was going to explode every time Gulf’s lies played in his mind.

“I’m sorry Mew.” Maybe this is the end for us. Gulf continuously stared to the sky when he did not have nothing to say anymore. He was too exhausted today. This Saturday was too long for him. Along the way, only silence and air-conditioner's sound accompanied them.

“You bring my car home with you today. Just give me the key at school. Thank you.” Gulf left Mew after Mew drop him off. He took an elevator and went up to his condominium. His bed was the only thing he could see right now as his head kept pounding thinking the day he had today. Gulf opened the door and entered his condominium before darkness enveloped him.

Beep, beep!

The sound distracted Mew when he was driving. That sound was not from his phone. Trying to find from where the sound came, he saw Gulf’s phone on the passenger's seat. He picked up the phone and Eye's message was there.

Are you alright, babe? Call me if you have already arrived.

Mew stopped the car at the roadside and called Eye directly. Luckily, Gulf's phone do not have password.

“Hello, Eye. This is me, Mew. He left his phone in the car. I’m gonna return to him now. On what level his condo is?” Mew hung up after Eye told him where Gulf's condo is.

He was still mad at Gulf, but the thought that he needed his phone soon, Mew felt responsible to give it back to the owner. He drove away to Gulf's condo and went up to the level where Gulf's house at. Arrived in front of the house he knocked the door that were slightly opened. Strangely, no one answered him. He pushed the door slowly, but there was something behind the door.

“Oh, shit! Gulf wake up!” Mew entered the house after pushed the door slightly only to find Gulf was already lost his conscious. His body was already radiating with heat, cheeks burning with a flush of fever. Mew tried to wake him up again by shaking Gulf's body.

“We’re going to the hospital!” Mew was on his way to carry Gulf when suddenly he felt a handful grip on his shirt. He turned his gaze to Gulf's glassy eyes. His lower lip quivered as words slowly made their way out of his mouth.
