MEW'S POV

MY mom was scheduled for operation this week, she's now currently confine on NEW YORK PRESBYTERIAN Hospital, BROOKLYN. One of the best hospitals in the US.

Here I am now leisurely strolling on Times Square to find a gift for my baby's birthday. He's turning 16 so I think a jewelry will do, maybe a necklace or a ring.

My life was gloomy before he came and yet now that we are happy with each other the circumstances are not in our favor.

Not that I am being selfish but I want to keep Gulf. I want to be with him in any milestone he will achieve, I want to witness the beautiful smile on his face while he reaches his goals, and I want to see him grow and evolve.

And now that we are apart I can't do what I want, I remember my first day here in NYC, I was very lonely I can't even eat well, I keep on thinking if he is okay. Before, every school days we we're together and every chance I got I spent time with him. But for now chat and FaceTime were enough, if my mom will be okay, I'll just make it up to him.

I continue strolling around then I go inside the Tiffany & Co's jewelry store. I choose a necklace with a key pendant on it as a symbol that only him can open my heart. I dont want to be extravagant so I take the one I see not too much expensive just 1,950 dollars.

I plan to go home on his birthday or maybe I will prepare a surprise for him. That will surely make him happy.

I just enjoyed shopping until night then I visit my mom and stayed with her until morning,.then i go back to my condo. We have a condo here just incase in times like this we can used it.
Im so bored, i have nothing to do here except malls, strolling, shopping around.

It's 2pm in the afternoon here. So I sprawled my body on the couch when I hear my phone ringing.

It's Gulf.

"hello baby! How are you?" I happily smiled at him. He smiles back and his eyes loses the spark, I feel like something was up.

"I am fine love how about you? How's your mom?"

"I'm not fine.. I miss you, I miss your hugs, your kisses, your scent... I miss everything about you baby." I bring my phone near my face and kiss him through the screen.

Atleast I hear him giggled..
"Me too love, I miss all of you, anyways how was your online classes?" Gulf's usual mannerisms when we FaceTime was he was shaking his head, play with his hair, pout, and make a pose, such an adorable baby.

"Everything was doing fine baby, my mom has an scheduled operation this week."
I happily smile at him and he smiles back.
"What's the matter baby?"

"Why are you asking love? Is there something that I need to know?" I paused on his question. He didn't usually ask something about me because he said he respect my privacy.

"Nothing baby, I'll surely let you know anyway, you already have a plan on your birthday?" I ask him trying to smile but my mind keep on telling me that he know something. Was it about me and Art? Who told him of ever? Then I came to realize what my father did to Lhong.

"Maybe we will make merit and feeding the patients in BMC, we always do that every year."

"I wish I will be with you that day baby."

"It's okay love, we're still young. We have all the time in the world, anyway I gotta go, it's 7pm here time to sleep for school tomorrow." Then he smile again. Still the same fake smile.

"Bye love, I'll call you again later.."

"Bye baby.. I love you."

He just smile and he cut off.
No response. Before if we're talking like this if he will end the call there was and endless I LOVE YOUS. Something was really off with him.

I still have to wait for 3 days for his birthday. Then I will go home and talk to him and I will tell him everything.

My phone rang again i happily answered it thinking it is Gulf.

"Phi! I'm here in the airport fetch me now!"

Art is here? He came here in New York?

-------------------___

GULF'S POV

HE REALLY has a sharp senses because even just looking at me he pinpoint that something was bothering me.

I lost the chance of asking him about his father's words, I chickened to find out the truth, I'm scared that the reality will be rub on my face and I'm scared of losing him.
Although I already feel that I am losing him, he's like a star, beautiful and mesmerizing but he is hard to reach.

After talking to him I sleep and decided to call him again tomorrow.

-------------------__

MEW'S POV

I FETCH ART on the airport.

"What are you doing here?"I ask him as I pick up his traveling bag and put it inside the car.

"Is that how you will welcome me here in the Big Apple City?" Art snorted.

"Come on hop in."

He get in and we start our trip to my own condo here in Brooklyn.

"Phi let's go to a bar please.."
Art cling on my arm. "I really dream of visiting one here please Phi.."

"Not now, its past midnight already."

"Come on, just one drink then we'll go."

I shake my head. "Nope."

"Fine, You have something to drink in your condo?"

"I think I have Scotch there, wait why suddenly you became a drunkard?"

"Bam happened." he pouted and look outside the car window.

"Oh your ex! Seriously Art you have to move on." I accelerated the speed so we can reach my condo.

"I'm working on it."

It is nearly dawn and we sit for a while as we drink the scotch that I have. And after a bottle I passed out.

GULF'S POV

I WAKE UP in a fine morning I feel my heart lightened. Sleep was really my stress reliever.

I hurriedly prepares for school then after Im ready I decided to call Mew. I think it's dawn already there.

His phone rings and I prepared my most sweetest smile because last time I felt like that he is annoyed with my smile.

He accepted my call.

"Hello lo--" I stop my greetings when I saw Art staring back at me his hair disheveled, his face was red, swollen lips, he has hickeys all over his neck and shoulders and he is half naked.

"Hi nong Gulf, Mew was still sleeping at the moment." He even had the audacity to rise the phone higher and there I saw the man I love the most lying beside him on the same bed, HALF NAKED! And they look like they had a rough session.

I am silent for a while.

"Why are you together?" I said in a very stern voice.

"It's normal, we're engaged, didnt Uncle told you that?"

I'm hoping against hope that Mew will wake up and snatch the phone then explain but he didn't.

I felt my heart literally shattered.
It felt like someone gripped my heart until i am unable to breathe.

"Or do you want to hear the juicy details of what we did?" he smugly said and smiled at me widely, I felt like he is really fond of insulting me.

I don't want him to see me crying. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me in pain, despite the raging pain in my heart, I looked calm in the outside.

"No need, Just tell him to go to hell and if ever, you two can go together. Say hello to Lucifer for me." I dropped the call and throw my phone on the wall. It is shattered, broken into pieces LIKE MY HEART.
