There are so many people around them. They were invited to attend an annual dinner for MGM; a company owned by John's family. There were around 300 guests invited, from the celebrities to government officials.
The party was held in a big hall inside a 5-star hotel, planned by a very high-profile event planner in Thailand. The theme for the party is diamond and gold, the official color for MGM. Round tables were arranged 3-meter distance from each other, Jazz is chosen as the music to accompany chit-chat between guests, and the attires were all according to theme.
Gulf was wearing a silver suit with a hint of gold stripe around the arm and shoulder, Mew wearing a black suit with bunch of tiny diamond-stitched at the back and around the wrist. They were put in sitting together with Navy, John and the most unexpected person Gulf will meet, Heart; his model-white skin-sexy body-figurine ex-girlfriend.
She is sitting there next to John, wearing all red with gold as accessories around her neck, ears and wrist, choosing a deep shade of the hue for a dress with cutouts. The choice of red was further accented with matching shoes and lipstick. Her outfit was the most outstanding and highlight of the guest in the room that night. Apparently, she is the new model for the company to act as a company ambassador.
It was an awkward moment for Gulf as he was consciously checking on Mew's reaction every time Heart asking questions. It was a mutual break up between him and Heart and there was no bad blood. They can talk as friends do but somehow, Gulf is aware of Mew; in case his boyfriend gets jealous.
Mew only smiles at Gulf whenever he catches the guilty and nervous eyes of his sweetheart. It's cute of Gulf to look so nervous and guilty like that. Mew understands and respects Gulf's personal matter; he can befriend anyone he wants including his exes. He secretly holds Gulf's right hand under the table without anyone noticing anything. Gulf smiles when Mew held his hand tightly. His nervous eyes are no longer seen when Mew held his hands.
"I heard both of you are quite close nowadays. Are you guys up to something?" Heart tries to tease the happy couple when she realized that both of them are looking into each other eyes; passionately with a bright smile.
Navy and John watch the newly happy couple, with frowned forehead, looking clueless. "Did something happen that I didn't aware of? Gulf? P'Mew?" Navy starts to interrogate the suspicious, nerves looking couple in-front of them with a serious and curious face.
"Did we have any happy news?" John adds to the interrogation section.
Mew and Gulf take a deep breath and smile at the curious, busy-body people in front of them. "Nothing new. We are just the same; like brothers who love each other a lot." Mew replies with a mysterious smile and a bit of laugh at the end.
"Yup, we're like that. Always like this. You guys don't have to be suspicious." Gulf nods and smile brightly after giving an ambiguous answer. Navy is not believing any of the craps given by both of them. "Don't give that crap answer. I'm not a reporter. Give me the real answer." He said while looking intensely at Gulf.
Both Mew and Gulf laugh awkwardly while looking at each other. John pats on Navy's hand slowly to give both Mew and Gulf privacy. Navy smiles and nods along. It's better to let them ready to tell the world themselves.
The crowd starting to dance on the floor, accompanying by jazz music. There are various of couple who were dancing; from the old-wrinkled-face man with a sexy petite girl, to a young cute couple who seem to enjoy the evening.
"John, will you ask me to dance?" Heart asks John in very seductive smile. John calmly nods his head without even looking at Navy who clearly upsets at what he's watching at the moment.
Navy turns his head to the newly suspicious couple after John and Heart started to dance, intimately. But both of them also already start to dance on the floor while looking into each other eyes; mesmerizingly.
Gulf had both of his hands on Mew's shoulder while his waist is wrapped by the hunk-veins-popping hand of Mew, tightly. His smiles were as wide as the stars on the sky could be seen by clear eyes. They were moving along the romantic jazz music, looking into each other eyes like there are no tomorrow for them.
Is this what happiness feel like? Even just looking into his eyes, I feel tremendous joy and content flowing in my heart. I love him dearly, with all my heart. I am glad that I able to love him and make him feel happy as I am happy too at this moment. Gulf is saying it inside his head while looking at Mew's sparkly eyes.
Mew could not hide his blossom heart; the one and truly person who can make him happy is in front of him. Until now, he still feels like he's dreaming; Gulf is actually his boyfriend now. The person who he never expects to ever come into his life, to accept his feeling, unconditionally.
Both their faces are so close, they basically can hear each other breathe. The warmth in the hug ceases away the coldness of the night, filling them with the euphoric heart, that cannot be described by words.
"I love you, Gulf." Mew whispers in a soothing voice. Gulf shies away, sinks his head on Mew's chest. Mew laughs a bit, watching the overload cuteness presented by Gulf. Both of them probably forget that this party had so many guests; and they are all dancing around them.

"I'll go back now with my manager." Gulf said as he and Mew walking towards the valet parking attendee.
"Are you sure? Don't you want me to send you home?" Mew asks while looking worriedly.
Gulf shakes his head, gently. "Our house is quite far from each other and it's already midnight now. I don't want you to drive back so late. I have to go to my parent's house tonight." Gulf explains while shyly holding a few of Mew's fingers.
Mew nods. "Okay. But text me when you arrive." Mew reminds Gulf while trying to put his arms around Gulf's waist. Gulf pushes it away in a flash. "We are in public. Behave please." Gulf says in angry tone but smiling. Mew pouts, feeling embarrassed too. He distances himself a bit from Gulf.
"Both of you are going back together or what?" Navy asks while walking towards them, together with John and Heart next to his right. Mew and Gulf turn their heads almost at the same time.
"No. I'm going back with my manager. How about you?" Gulf asks back while looking a bit awkward when he looks at Heart.
"I have to send Heart back first. Her manager had some emergency and left early. Is it okay?" John says while looking a bit guilty at Navy.
Navy takes a look at Heart who keeps her posture calm and beautiful. Then, he takes a look at John. "I don't mind." Navy answers half-heartedly.
"Sorry, Navy. If you feel uncomfortable, I can take UBER." Heart says it while looking sad.
"I can't allow that. At this late hour, it will be dangerous for you." John fast respond makes Navy a bit flustered, while John is looking concerned. Navy takes a deep breath and look at Gulf and Mew who seems a bit uncomfortable.
"It's okay. What John said is right." Navy just says it without sincerity. If he didn't allow it, he will look like a jerk. Plus, Heart really seems sad; from what he saw only. "P'Mew, can I go back with you?" Navy asks Mew, unexpectedly.
John seems a bit surprised. "Why would you go with Mew? We can send Heart back together and go to our house after that." He says in a confused face.
"I just want to head home first and have a rest. My body feels so tired." Navy just giving excuses. He really can barely see Heart's face. He also didn't know why, when he sees her face, his anger is boiling up.
"Don't be like this, Navy. It will not take that long. You can sleep in the car for a short while if you want." John still tries to persuade Navy. But Navy really don't want to be near Heart for longer than now.
"It's okay, John. I just want to rest on the bed now. You can send Heart back without me." Navy assures John that he really doesn't mind John sending Heart back home without him. "So, P'Mew, can I go back with you? Our house not that far." Navy continues to ask Mew.
Mew smiles awkwardly. "Sure, no problem." He looks at Gulf and force a smile; feeling awkward because he can sense the tension between Navy and John.
John nods his head. "If that what you want, then, I'm okay." John smiles as he says that and gently, pats Navy's head.
A chauffer comes in and deliver the BMW's key to John. "Thanks, Navy. Have a safe drive home." Hearts says as she walks alongside John towards the car. John slides down the window after he gets into the car. "Please text me when you arrive at home." John says in a bit shouting voice.
Navy nods and give the okay hand. In a second, John drives away with Heart.
"Are you okay Navy?" Mew asks when John already out of sight. Navy frowns his forehead. "Why are you asking me that?" Navy asks back with confusion.
"I saw Heart flirts with John all night and just now, you seem a bit pissed off with John." Mew blurts out his thought. He really saw everything when Heart and John were dancing on the floor. The flirtatious hands, smiles and laugh that Heart has been doing to John all night long.
Navy sighs. He also saw all that but choose not to care that much. Probably, that is how Heart treats other people. The reason he feels anger inside his heart not because of the flirtation but there is something else that he doesn't know how to describe or say.
"I'm okay. There's nothing to worry about, P'Mew. You should worry about Gulf. She is his ex-girlfriend." Navy says it as he looks at Gulf who smiles bitterly.
"I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable when she seems to be so close to me, but I think it's not that bad. The awkward feelings still there considering we have some history but other than that, I think I'm okay." Gulf explains it, calmly while looking at Mew and Navy swiftly.
Mew smiles, feeling proud of his boyfriend's answer. "So, are we going back now?" Mew asks Navy.
"I think I'm going now. My manager is here." Gulf interrupts before Navy even can answer. "See you later, P'Mew, Navy." He says it and give both of them a hug. Mew secretly kisses Gulf's neck when he hugs him. Luckily, Gulf didn't panic and just react naturally.
He walks towards the car and gets inside the passenger seat, next to his manager, and put on the seat belt. Then, waves his hands, cutely, before his manager drives away until he lost sight of Mew and Navy who still wait for their car.
Gulf is sitting there, without much talking, more to stare blankly on the right side while his manager drives passing the road lamps across the road. On his way home, he must pass by a dark route which the road lamps have failed, and the road is full of potholes left and right. The car has to move slowly and carefully.
In the dark environment, surrounded by big and thick bushes around, they clearly see a car in the narrow road, park with blinking an emergency light on. "Phi, that car seem to have problem. Should we stop and help them first." Gulf states with a calm voice.
"Okay, the car looks like having a problem. You just wait here. I'll go and see first." Gulf's manager stops the car a few meters from it after asking Gulf to stay put. He walks out of the car while searching for anyone nearby the road too.
When he reaches the car, there was nobody in it. The car is empty. He is confused. He takes a look in the car as the window is opened. Still, there were no signs of people in the car. Only the engine's humming to tell that the car had just been left alone.
Gulf frowns his eyebrows. What is taking his manager that long to talk with the car's owner. He also makes his way out of the car. He opens the door and puts his right foot down first then close the door. "Listen to me." His feet couldn't move after someone whispered the words really close to his left ear.
Felix is standing closely behind Gulf while putting a knife on Gulf's neck. He grabs Gulf's waist, tightly and while leaning his body very close to Gulf. "Listen to me or otherwise I will harm you." Felix smiles as he threatens Gulf with the knife on Gulf's neck.
"What do you want? Who are you?" Gulf asks while putting his both of his hands in air. He makes a big eyes and scared face when his manager sees him under Felix's knife on his neck. His manager walks as fast as he can when he saw Gulf in danger.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Gulf's manager asks in a worried and high tone. He stands 1 meter from them. "Please put down the knife and we can talk over this calmly." Gulf's manager tries to negotiate with Felix.
"Yes, whatever you want, we can talk over calmly. No need for this overboard action. We can talk this through, whatever reason you had with me." Gulf adds to the negotiation.
Felix smiles and laugh a bit. "I won't talk anymore. I just want what is mine." Gulf gulps his saliva, nervously. "What is it that you want?" Gulf asks in a nervous voice.
"I want your life." Short answer from Felix really made the confusion higher. He can clearly see in Gulf and his managers' face. He really doesn't want to tell anything anymore. All he wants, is for his life to change and get what it deserves.
Felix hands over a rope to Gulf by his left hand. "Take this and tie your friend. Now." Felix forces Gulf by pushing the knife real close to the flesh. Gulf quickly takes the rope and ties his manager's hand with it. "You, go sit next to driver seat." Felix rushes Gulf's manager with angry voice.
His manager slowly walks with his hand tied towards the door. Gulf opens the door for his manager. Before he can get inside the car, Felix pulls the manager's hands and checks whether the rope is tight or not. After confirming it, he pushes the manager inside, roughly.
Gulf was asked to drive while Felix sitting at the back with knife, still on Gulf's neck. Felix orders Gulf to drive as his instruction. They go pass by the exit road where Gulf will take it to his parent house. About 15 minutes, they arrive in a very old-abandon-factory, located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees and bushes.
Felix then continues to force them out of the car, walk inside the old factory together, then asks Gulf to tie his manager at a big pole before they started to walk deeper inside the place. The factory looks like has been abandon for so long. There were a lot of rubbish and non-useful things like broken desks, chairs and damp woods.
Felix ties Gulf hands on his back then pushes him to ground, hard. Gulf gruff pain voice as he tries to lay on his back. The cold and hard ground makes his body hurts more. "Now, I will finish and ends all of this unfairness." Felix says it with a laugh.
He walks fast towards Gulf and punches him hard many times. Gulf's face is covered with blood and bruises. "Why are you doing all this?" Gulf asks in a very weak voice after Felix stop punching him. He barely can open his eyes.
"I don't have to tell you." Felix says in guttural voice before he lay down many kicks on Gulf's body and start to punch Gulf again on the face. Gulfs beg to stop but Felix didn't listen at all. He only wants Gulf to get really weak and execute his mission.
"Please, save me." Gulf begs for someone to save him with a weak voice. He is in so much pain that he can no longer lift his face up. "Please, save me." He keeps saying it with his eyes start to close down slowly with his face down.
Felix smiles widely when he sees Gulf is now unconscious. He checks on Gulf with his foot, just kicking Gulf to turn his body up. Then, he strips Gulf down by tearing the shirt to confirm the mark on Gulf's shoulder. "Finally, you are the one I've been looking for." Felix says it while showing the same mark on his forearm. "I will own my destiny. No one can stop me now."
Felix kneels down next to Gulf while opening his hands, widely and looking up. Then, he starts to chant something, loudly. "tha alláxo ti moíra tóra. to sóma mou, i psychí mou kai to peproméno mou eínai dikó mou." He keeps chanting the word many times loudly while looking up.
The wind started to blow hard, the lighting started to strike fiercely in the sky. He chants the spells for more than twenty times before his body and Gulf's body start to glow up. Then, he laughs hysterically while chanting as he knows the spells are working.
The mark on Gulf's shoulder turn to red flame with his body still glowing, astonishingly. Felix sees the mark started to give a flame-like glow. He smiles widely and chanting the last spell. "olokliróste tis lípseis tóra".
But, with the last spell chanted, Gulf's bracelet shine brightly that it covers the whole place with light. Felix scream in pain as the light makes his eyes hurt. "My eyes! My eyes!" He screams while covering his eyes in pain, rolling over the ground to suppress the pain.
The flame-like mark disappears and Gulf's body no longer glowing. A few second later, Gulf opens his eyes, slowly to see that Felix is rolling on the ground, screaming in pain. With his weak body, Gulf tries to sit but he can barely lift up his head.
Felix calms himself down. His eyes cannot be opened but he can hear Gulf's breathe heavily after the environment starts to get quiet. "What have you done to me?!" Felix screams while searching for Gulf. He knows exactly where Gulf is even without seeing him.
"What did you do? Why didn't the spells work?" Felix shouts in confusion. Gulf is just laying his body while looking up. He didn't have the energy to speak or move. "I don't get it. I've done everything I was told to do." Felix talks to himself in confusion while still closing his eyes.
Felix feels a big log next to him, then grabs it in a hurry. He crawls to Gulf by spreading his hand all over the place. When he feels Gulf's leg, he starts to touch until he reaches Gulf's head. "If I can't have my destiny, then, you shouldn't have it either. You should die now." He says while clenching his teeth, so damn angry at Gulf.
Gulf is no longer can move a finger. He can still move his eyes and saw the closed-eyes Felix tries to beat him with a big log. He closes his eyes, and the tears start to fall. Is this how his life will end? He starts to miss all the people he loved dearly. His parent and Mew.
He wishes more time with Mew at this moment. He wishes if he can say how much he loves Mew to Mew now. He barely can say it because he was so shy but at this moment, on the verge of death, he regrets not saying it much to Mew.
He wants Mew to know that he was the happiest whenever he is with Mew. He can never forget Mew or stop loving Mew. He will always remember Mew as Mew is the first and the last guy that he will love like this.
He is crying because he can no longer hear Mew's voices, can no longer be in Mew's hug and can no longer get Mew's kisses. He wants to see Mew for the last time. Want to hug him and say how much he loves Mew. But is it possible to do that now?
"Gulf, open your eyes." An echoes voice starts to ring in his ear. A familiar voice. Gulf opens his eyes slowly and the blurred vision starts to fade away. He was in tears again, heavily, when he sees Mew is kneeling next to him.
Mew holds Gulf's head and put it on his laps while looking so worried. "Are you okay?" Mew asks with heavy voice. Gulf nods a bit. He takes a look to his right side and see Navy is pinning down Felix.
"Mew, you should take Gulf to the hospital. Me and Gulf manager can wait for the police here. You should take him there as soon as possible." Navy orders Mew while pinning down Felix who starts to struggle out.
Mew nods his head and look at Gulf's condition who already close his eyes again. He carries Gulf on both of his hand and walks towards his car fast while Navy waiting for the police there. "Hold on, Gulf. I will take you to the hospital. Be strong." He says it while carrying Gulf.
