Gulf made a promise to himself - No matter what happens, Mew must never see him break.
So when Mew says "I'm in love with Tul," Gulf smiles.
When Mew moves out, Gulf helps him pack.
When the wedding invitation arrives, Gulf RSVPs "yes".
Everyone thinks he's moved on.
No one sees him shatter when he's alone.
This is the story of loving someone so completely that their happiness becomes more important than your own heartbeat.
Of attending the wedding of the man you still love.
Of giving a toast that makes everyone cry for all the wrong reasons.
Of learning that sometimes the most painful thing you can do for someone...
...is let them go.
"I'll stand at your wedding and smile. I'll watch you marry him. And I'll mean it when I say congratulations.
Because loving you means wanting you happy.
Even if 'happy' doesn't include me."
This is a story about the most brutal kind of love - the kind that sets you free.
[P.S. : They say, "If you don't find the story you want to read, write it!" And so, I did just that. My 2nd and final #MewGulf story with a sweet & proper closure not just for all of you adorable readers, but to myself as well.]
