Love and Hate in Your Eyes (Ongoing)

Chapter Seventeen

It has been a week now since Gulf had left Mew in their house.

From time to time, he contacts his parents and tells them that he's fine.

Currently, Gulf is staying in PP's condo, since going home to his parent's house is not a good idea.

It has also been a week now since Gulf had been absent from school.

He just has no interest in anything. Gulf just wants to sleep and forget what happened.

PP and Gun just inform him of the things he needs to do, in order not to miss anything from class.

This is their first big fight since he and Mew became clear of their feelings for each other.

Gulf wiped the tears that rolled down his cheek.

He misses Mew. So bad.

But he cannot just give in to his emotion and go see him.

Mew needs to learn his lesson and reflect on what he did.

While wallowing in silence, Gulf heard the doorbell ring.

He stood up from the bed and went out to see who it was.

Gulf had the shock of his life when he opened the door, and saw Mew.

How the hell did he know where he was?

Gulf was about to close the door when Mew stopped him.

Mew looks so tired, lonely, and broken.

"Bii, can we please at least talk this out?"

"We have nothing to talk about, Mew."

Mew held Gulf on his wrist. Slowly, his hold went down to Gulf's hand and Mew held it tight.

"I'm really sorry, bii... I know I shouldn't have done that. I cannot justify what I did, because I was wrong. But please... forgive me, bii..."

Mew said as he held Gulf's hand.

"Please, Gulf... I'm about to go crazy if I spend another day without you."

Gulf closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then yanked Mew's hold away.

"I'm not yet ready to forgive you, Mew. Please understand me as well."

Just that, and Gulf closed the door.

Mew was left standing outside, devastated.

Since Gam's death, this is by far the most painful thing that has happened to him. If he moved on with Gam's loss, Mew doesn't think he can do the same if he'll lose Gulf.

With heavy steps, Mew decided to give Gulf some more time, and just leave.

-----------------------------

Gulf wiped his tears as he heard Mew's footsteps receding.

The moment he saw him, he badly wants to hug and kiss him.

He misses his husband so much.

But he cannot just give him a pass, just because he loves him.

Mew's right. What he did was wrong. Although he already acknowledged his mistake, Gulf isn't ready to forgive him yet.

Gulf was so hurt and disappointed with what Mew did.

It would've been less painful if other people did it to him.

But it was Mew who did him wrong, the person that he loves so much.
