Love Is... (Part 18 - The Reply Part 2)

Kenny slowly removed his lips from Darryl… He looked at Darryl lovingly and touches his face….

Kenny: “This is the happiness moment of my life till now… I will not let you down… I promise to you that I will be here with you whenever you need me… I love you…”
Darryl: “Before you say that again, I need to let you know how I really feel…” Disappointment showed on Kenny’s face…
Kenny: “Are you going to tell me that you don’t love me?”
Darryl: “Shhhh… Just listen to what I’m going to say, ok?” Kenny nodded…
Darryl: “To be frank, this feeling is a bit overwhelmed for me at this moment of time… I don’t deny I have feeling for you but yet again, I am afraid of going into it… I am not sure how to tell you… I love you, Kenny but I am losing you forever…”
Kenny: “You are not going to lose me… I promise?”
Darryl: “How can you be so sure? Have you think what if we ended the relationship? Can we still be friend? Can we still be ok to be friends? I don’t want to lose you forever… I don’t want to…” Emotions are peaking like a volcano going to erupt…
Kenny: “You will not lose me… I promise… No matter what happen…”
Darryl: “I… I… I…”
Kenny: “Just calm down ok… I know what you mean… I have the same struggle myself before I decided to make this step… I want to move our relationship to another level…”
Darryl: “But I don’t want to ruin this relationship between us…”
Kenny: “Do you love me?”
Darryl: “……”
Kenny: “Do you love me?”
Darryl: “……”
Kenny: “Do you love me?”
Darryl: “……”

Kenny sit up from the bed and decided to leave…

Kenny: “I guess you have given me the answer already….I better go now… Will let you know when I home… Bye…”

Darryl seeing Kenny’s back turning towards him… A feeling of lost rushed into him… He is disappointed with himself… He is disappointed for not brave enough to face his feeling… Kenny’s image is moving further and further from him…

“Is this what I want? What is wrong with me? I love Kenny… But what is it so hard to say it out?” Darryl thought to himself… Darryl rush out of his room….

He saw Kenny picking up his luggage… Kenny is leaving without even looking back at him… He is opening the door… He is leaving… He is really going to leave…

Just as he heading out of the door, Darryl ran towards him and hugs him from the back…

Darryl: “I love you…. “
