CH 9: I'm Such A Disappointment

MEW'S SITUATION

*THE NIGHT GULF LEFT*

MEW'S POV...

I was still standing here, at the main gate. I saw Gulf drive away about an hour ago. He really let the personal and professional matters cross paths, didn't he? Sigh. Now I have to clean after the mess he left behind. This idiot didn't even say when will he return. Now how am I supposed to reschedule the meeting when I don't even know how long is my boss gonna be away?

What a shitty life you have got, Mew Suppasit. Why can't just one thing go right for me? What sin did I commit in my past life that I have to endure so much in this life?

I ran my hands down my face to my neck, rubbing it. In frustration and confusion. I believe. I walked back in and flopped down on the couch. When all of a sudden, my eyes traveled on their own to that bouquet.

AUTHOR'S POV...

The bouquet was given to Mew by Gulf. It was to show everything Mew meant to Gulf. That day, through the bouquet, Gulf had declared his love and passion for Mew. There were flowers in it, positioned beautifully, telling how Gulf could never forget Mew and how sweet and lovely of a person Mew was for him. There were flowers asking Mew to be Gulf's forever and ever. His little lover had even put in flowers wishing for good luck in their married life. But Mew was afraid that he could not accept any of those terms. He wanted to be a person of his own, not bound to anything or anyone.

The man lying on the couch finally rose up and walked to his room. I'll just deal with whatever tomorrow, Mew thought.

Mew was lying on his bed, thinking of all that happened today. "Was I too much on him?" Mew asked himself. Yes, he did say hurtful things to Gulf. Yes, he felt bad when he saw the hurt in the younger's eyes. Yes, he did it for the better. But. Yes, he regretted being so harsh on Gulf.

And...

No. He himself was not very happy with what he had done.

*NEXT MORNING*

***FON'S CABIN***

Fon's secretary came in abruptly. "Ma'am, Mr. CEO's secretary is here to meet you. Should I send him in?" Lily asked. Fon furrowed her brows. Did my stupid son do something to him? Fon scrunched her nose. "Let him in," Fon said in a worried tone.

Mew entered and closed the door behind him. He bowed a little to greet Fon. "Don't be so formal, Mew. You know that you are my son now. Tell me what happened," Fon said. Mew was lost for words. He didn't know what to say. Should he tell her everything or just the part where Gulf left, he didn't know. "Tell me whatever is on your mind," Fon was now standing in front of him.

"Ma'a-" Mew tried speaking but Fon cut him off. "It should be 'mom' not 'ma'am', okay?" Fon ordered in a sweet tone. Mew smiled nervously. "Last night, I and Gulf had a slight argument. And then he left for a trip," Mew blurted out. Fon asked, "Did he say something to you?" Mew shook his head, "It was me who started the topic not him. He wasn't at fault."

Mew just didn't know what he was speaking now. He didn't know why he was saying such things. If it really was him, he would blame everything on Gulf without thinking twice. But right now, he was taking the blame to save Gulf without even realizing it. He thought that he was doing it out of pity for the younger. Gulf had been suffering too much because of him. So, taking some blames shouldn't hurt Mew so much.
