My Sweet Gulf (Completed)

27

Gulf's POV

Why is he doing this to me? I thought he already forgot about me. How can I face his dad. He's dad texted me that he can't thank me enough for sacrificing our love. He wants his son to be straight again. He wants him to forget that once in his life he became gay because of his love for me.

"Just tell me you still love me. I'll forget everything. I love you so much baby. I need you so badly."

My tears are about to burst. I'm trying hard to stop it. Paano na yung promise ko? Mas lalong hindi ako matatanggap ng family niya. Kapag nalaman ni Mew ang real reason, I know him makikipag-away siya sa family niya.

"Sorry."
Yun lang salitang napakawalan sa dami ng gusto kong sabihin.

"May bago ba? May pumalit na ba? Ako kasi kahit pilitin ko sarili ko,wala talaga. T*ngina Gulf babaliwin mo ba ko?yun ba purpose mo? Kasi konting konti na lang magtatagumpay ka na."

I want to hug him. Napapakapit na ko sa upuan kasi kating kati na ko yakapin siya. I fell in love with him first but he fell harder. I'm deeply sorry because I am a coward like this. I really can't change myself. I want to  tell him how much I love him and how it never fades.

"I'm really sorry Mew."
Napahampas siya sa steering wheel. Naramdaman ko galit niya.

"Sana hindi ka na lang bumalik. Sana magtagal kayo. Sana hindi mo siya gaguhin tulad ng panggagago mo sa akin."

I left him there inside his car.

Pagkalabas ko nagbagsakan na luha ko. I need to talk to his dad. I want to be selfish. I want Mew for me. I will never like anyone the same way I like him.
Please wait Mew,I'll fix this for us.

Dumiretso ako sa CR para maghilamos at naabutan ko si Boun. Nakita niya ko umiiyak.

"Masakit?Wala pa yan ng katiting ng ginawa mo kay Mew." Bakas sa boses niya yung galit sa akin.

I need comfort. I hug him. "Boun hindi ko na kaya. Sobrang sakit na." Hinayaan niya lang ako yakapin siya.

"Kung sobrang sakit, bakit mo ginawa? You didn't see how messed up he is during that time." Sinusumbatan niya ko habang tinatapik tapik likod ko. "Gulf, I hate you. Galit na galit ako sayo. Pero si Mew? He still waited. We can't say anything against you because he is still protecting you. Protect him too. Please."

Si Boun yung tipo ng kaibigan na maloko, palaging nakatawa at mahilig mang trip but he is the one who is talking sense to me right now.

"I'll talk to his dad but please don't tell him I don't want to give him false hope." Tumango naman si Boun.

"It's time for you to prove your love. Please ikaw naman gumawa ng paraan Gulf."

Naghilamos lang ako para hindi mahalata na umiyak ako. I have decided. I gather up all my courage. I will meet him today.

I texted him. Nag meet kami sa restaurant malapit sa opisina niya.

"I still love him sir." Yun ang bungad ko sa kanya.

" And he still does too. Just give him time he'll forget about you." He said it straight to my face.

"But he's hurting already."

"Then hurt my son more. He will realize that it's not the kind of love that he needs"

"How can you ask me to hurt him more? He is your son. I'm so done with this. I won't follow anyone anymore." I left after I said that. Did I really said that? Nanginginig tuhod ko. This is the first time I talk back to an elder. I hope my parents will not be disappointed.

I'll make you mine again Mew.

Boun's POV

Niyaya kami ni Mew for the first time uminom. Tuloy tuloy lang inom niya akala mo mauubusan.

"Boring" usal niya pa.

"How about girls dude? I'll introduce you that hot girl" turo pa ni Kao sa babae.

"Do you think my buddy here will react to her?" Hinampas hampas niya pa ng malakas kargada niya.

"Kalma baka mabasag yan dude, hindi mo na magamit." Biro ko pa sa kanya, dahil sobrang seryoso niya.

"Eh di mabasag. Sino paggagamitan ko nito?" Natatawa ako sa sagot niya.

"Naku baka mas lalong hindi ka balikan nun pag nalaman niya nang walang silbi yang alaga mo." Oops ang sama ng tingin niya. Bigla niya na lang sinipa yung center table kaya nabasag yung ibang bote.

"Chill" natatawa pa din ako.

Nakareceive ako ng text kay Gulf.

"Done. Where are you?"

At nagka-lakas talaga siya ng loob, parang hindi si Gulf.

I texted him the address and asked him to come quickly because my friend right here is already drunk.

Nag-aya na sila Ohm at Kao na umuwi kasi kailangan pa daw ihatid sa bahay ang wasted naming kaibigan.

" No guys, I have a big surprise coming up." I stopped them. Nagtaka naman sila pero wala silang nagawa. Tuloy tuloy pa din sa pag-inom yung kaibigan naming broken hearted.

Maya-maya pa ay natanaw ko na siya na parang may hinahanap. Nang nagkatinginan kami t@ngina, nasurprise nga talaga ako.

"Oh my f*ckin god. Why the hell you look like that. You look like a stupid whale.." tawa pa rin ako ng tawa ng malakas. Yung tingin niya sa akin napipikon na pero sinisilip niya pa din sa likod ko si Mew. 
"I swear Gulf if there will be ranking today, you'll be no. 1 in worst dress to wear in the club" Nawala pagkabadtrip ko. He is wearing a plain shirt partnered with summer short and his hair oh hell nakatali siya sa gitna na parang flinstones. "You really made my night, i love you so much" Hindi ako makahinga sa tawa. Yung dalawa kong kaibigan natatawa din.

"Mabuti pinapasok ka dito?" Natatawang sabi ni Kao sa kanya.

"We own this place." He casually said na parang wala lang sa kanya. Dumako naman tingin niya sa akin. "At sabi mo magmadali ako Boun dahil emergency. I didn't even have time to change"

"I love your come-back-to-me-again look. Pag nakita ka niya, baka nga lang umatras siya." Siniko niya naman ako at nilapitan si Mew.

"Wake up baby.I'm here."
