Chapter 31.
"Stop drinking, Gulf."
"No. Just leave me here, Sky."
"I won't. You know you have to talk to him. Why don't you find him and fix this instead of wasting your time drinking?"
"He won't listen to me. He's very mad."
Gulf stopped crying when he realized that crying won't help him. He just want to forget everything.
"Then I'll talk to him myself."
"Do that and you will be limp for the rest of your life."
Gulf said coldly and drink again. He wants to fix it himself without the help of others. It's his idea of organizing a surprise proposal but it got failed. He wants to organize the venue by himself but it will take a lot of time if it's just him so he asked for Sky's help as he is the only one who is free. All of his friends are busy with their own family and businesses.
They took weeks to finally finish the venue but it just got waisted as the one he wants to marry left him without letting him to explain.
"Leave for now. I'm fine, don't worry."
Sky just sighed and left Gulf and Mew's house. Gulf stood up and decided to soak himself under the shower. He didn't cry, he just starred coldly on the wall while imagining how would it be if he succeeded on proposing to Mew. They would probability so happy by now. And that made a tear left his right eye.
Who said it doesn't hurt? He knows how Mew behave when he is mad and hurt. Mew might do something that would fully break them. And that frightened him to the core. He can't loose Mew, he can't lose his man, and especially, he can't lose his life.
Gulf cried under the shower and punched the wall with all of his strength. Trying to replace the pain in his heart by physically hurting himself.
After some time, he dressed and went out of the house. He went back to the venue as he wants to just imagine and imagine till he became happy even if it is just fake.
He imagined himself asking Mew to be his husband and wiping Mew's tears after awhile.
But that just hurt him.
He spent the night staring at nothing and filling his head with fake scenarios of him being so happy with Mew.
Mew went back to their house early in the morning, the sun is still not out and it is the time when everyone is still enjoying their sleep. He is expecting to see no one, thinking that Gulf already ran away with Sky and start their relationship.
He went straight to their room only to see their photos on the wall. He wants to get his things very quick but their photos are making him stay.
He looked at every photo with sadness, he can't believe Gulf can do that to him. He loved Gulf with all of his heart.
He walked closer to the table and grabbed the small box that is full of their pictures for ten years. He opened it and it's just the first photo but it already made him cry.
He tried to hide his sobs but he just failed. He hugged the open box, hoping that it is Gulf. Hoping that Gulf is still his, that Gulf didn't really cheat on him.
The pictures scattered down when he is about to place the open box down. Some flew on the floor and some stayed on the table. He noticed the folded paper that looks old.
He opened it carefully to not let it break away. It is so old that the ink is already scattering and the paper is getting thin and crispy.
