Gulf reached his hotel room after having a fight with mew. He never thought to cause a big damage to him. He just want to make him apologize but it turned out into a big fuss. Gulf was feeling very guilty for what he had done to Mew. He laid on the bed without treating the wounds.
Gulf lower lip was bleeding because of the hard punch.
He laid on his bed feeling exhausted. He closed his eyes thinking what to do next to solve this issue and also what he can tell his mother about this rumours. His thoughts was disturbed by knocks on his door. Gulf opened the door and Mild hit Gulf in a bone crushing hug. Gulf struggled to free himself. Gulf don't like skin ship. But he know Mild was worried about him so he doesn't object his friend's action. He saw Boun beside Mild and he was surprised to see his fellow actor. They are just co actors nothing more and nothing less.
Many questions are started to rise in brain of Gulf. All are related to Boun , how he gonna explain things to his co actor? They lost an chance of acting in an advertisement because of this sense less rumours. He don't know how to face boun, to his surprise he came to his hotel room. He can't escape from this situation, so Gulf thought he need to face this situation now or then! so, he decided to face it now. He welcomed both inside and followed them to the sofa.
Gulf don't know how to start conversation, to his luck Boun opened his mouth first.
Gulf , I know you are worrying about that rumours and about the advertisement. Don't worry about them, I know that was an misunderstanding. You don't want to explain things to me and any other person because it's your personal life. Yes !! We are actors, we try our best to entertain people but we no need to explain all our personal matters to them. Who are our true fans can understand this situation and they will support you no matter what happens. And about myself I am totally fine. Infact i'm somewhat happy, you know because of cancel in our schedule I got some free time for myself after a long time. I heard about yourself from Mild. He told me that you are taking stress about this matter and about my career. No worries man , What's important the most is your health. Don't be stressed over this rumours, they will be gone after a while and you need to focus on your relaxation. Because we got five days off from work. And please ! you don't have to arrange an press conference about this. I had already discussed about this issue with the company and they responded positively. Now you are going to take rest for whole five days. forget about all this issues and enjoy the day off Gulf.
Boun talked continuously while smiling sheepishly and nodding his head. Then Boun saw dried blood on lips of Gulf, his chin was bruised, he touched the sore area and asked Gulf how it was happened. Gulf was listening to Boun and he was so happy and at verge of tears by the affection shown by his fellow actor. He never thought Boun was this matured because he always act cute and always try to get attention of others and loved to get love from others. After Boun touching Gulf's bruise Gulf came to his senses. He totally forgotten about his injuries. Mild was also listening attentively to Boun, after Boun pointing out the injuries of Gulf, then only he also observed Gulf's face. Mild got panicked and Gulf saw Mild's panicked expression and decided to tell the truth.
Gulf explained everything and keenly noticed the change in expression in Mild and Boun face. Mild hit Gulf on his head. Gulf rubbed his sore face with a pout on his lips. Mild shake his head on seeing childish behaviour of his friend. Mild started speaking
Gulf !! You made two mistakes. You went to apologize for your mistake without actually feeling sorry, it's your first mistake. Second one is, Mew was got heartbroken and struggling to control his emotions , you actually said that Mew closed his eyes before punching and you went infront of him right....
Mild stopped speaking and looked towards Gulf for an answer. Gulf bends his head down and nodded slowly. Mild sighed and continued speaking.
See , it's not his mistake. You went in middle and you got the punch instead. So, common! grab your first aid , I will treat the bruises. Ok !
Gulf nodded and went to his bedroom to grab the first aid box. He handed it to Mild. Mild treated the bruises. Boun was looking admiringly towards the affection shown by both friends and cooed loudly.
Your friendship is so nice. Can I join ? I always thought of befriending you Gulf but you always built a wall to others. Can we be friends ?
Boun asked Gulf with an hopeful expression giving an puppy eyes. Gulf smiled internally and extended his hand towards Boun for a shake hand. Boun accepted it happily. Boun and Mild bid their byes and returned to their own places. Gulf was happy making an new friend and also finding an understanding one. Gulf laid on his bed and slowly drifted into dream land.
Gulf woke up by knocks on his door. He thought it was room service because it's already break fast time. He went to open the door and was surprised to see his mae standing out infront of room.
He welcomed his mother inside. Gulf locked the door and followed his mother inside. Before Gulf can greet his mother, she thrown flower vase which is present on the table in the living room. He was flabbergasted by the sudden actions, before he can respond his mother slapped him hard on his face.
She was Fuming in anger. Gulf's hand unconsciously reached the sore cheek where his mae slapped him. She started speaking... more like shouting .
Gulf ! What the heck have you done ! Are those rumours are true? Did you really lost an offer to shoot an advertisement?
Gulf nodded lightly because he was feeling his heart twisting inside his thorax cavity. His mother continued
I'm really ashamed of you Gulf. I never thought you would encounter this kind of situation. Arrange an press conference immediately and prove those rumours are baseless. And are you really Gay ? She asked Gulf in an disgusted voice.
Gulf can't take all those things inside at a time. It took a while to digest what his mother was saying. Gulf actually don't know his sexual preference. He never been in a relationship nor have any crush. After few seconds which felt like an hour to Gulf ,he answered his mae.
Mae about the rumours... They are not true. Infact we are strangers and the photo was an misunderstanding. About the advertisement. ... Yes , I lost a chance to film it. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I never thought to disappoint you in any kind of situation. I can't attend the press conference because I haven't done anything wrong. I don't want to explain my personal matter to others. It's my concern to whom i'll explain and I don't care about the rumours , what I care most is you mae.
Gulf was on verge of his tears. He don't want to cry infront of anyone. He don't want to show his weak and vulnerable side to anyone either it's his friends or his family.
Gulf ! you know what I care the most.
Unless you prove those rumours are pointless don't you dare to meet me. Do you understand?
She was serious about what she is saying. Gulf never want to loose his mae but he also don't want to talk about this matter and prove this was wrong. He remained silent and his mae went out leaving Gulf alone.
Gulf collapsed where he was standing. He started crying which turns into sobs. He slowly stood up and went to refrigerator and grabbed bear cans. He started gulping the bear and finished more than ten cans. He slept on sofa without bothering to clean himself. He continued drinking bear and sleeping on sofa for a day without eating anything. He looked pale and lost some weight.
Gulf went to his refrigerator to grab bear can but the fridge was empty. He needs to drink. He want to forget all those things. He didn't bother to call anyone to share his pain. His mae also didn't bother to check on her son.
Gulf was always been an great son. He always tried to prove his love towards his mae but she never noticed the efforts of her son. Gulf always felt lonely whilst he is surrounded by hundreds of people. Gulf always wanted someone who can understand him without Gulf uttering a word about how he was feeling. It always remained as an wish for him.
Gulf grabbed his mask and sunglasses and went out to find some bear. He avoided taking his car because he wants to walk. Walking and observing the surroundings always helps him to calm his soul and mind. He went to a bar and drank bear.
Gulf came out of the bar when the moon was in the middle of the sky surrounded by many stars. Gulf smiled sadly at his vulnerable state. Tears came without his notice. Gulf continued walking on road which is almost empty. He was embraced by silence and darkness. He was holding an bear can in his hand. He lifted the bear can to his mouth and gulped the bear whilst crossing the road.
Suddenly his eyes met an beam of light coming from an car which is travelling towards him. Gulf eyes widened and he closed his eyes accepting what was coming towards him. His heart started beating fast in his ribs. By high stress and starving for a day made him to lose his consciousness before he loose all his conscious he saw the car approaching him at high speed and he lost his senses.
He fell on the road while the bear can which he is holding in his hands fell one meter away from Gulf.
