You... Always & Forever (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 11

JUSTIN GULF

MAMA is just staring at me since Mew left. No words were out from her mouth. And it is making me nervous.

I decided to break the silence.

"I'm sorry Mama."

"What are you sorry for?"

"For lying. For not telling you the truth. "

She sighed. "You still love him, don't you?"

I nod. "Yes Mama. For seven years, I never gave chance to others. I focus on my work, to keep him off my mind, but it's useless."

"How long did you know that he is back?"

I look away before i answer. "S-since the first day that he came back. We met at the hospital when Bai gave birth."

"He is the friend that take you home, right?" I nod as an answer.

A moment of silence pass. Until she broke a question, that made me think hard.

"Are you willing to go to abroad and live there?"

Why haven't I thought of that? But it gives me the reason to think of our talks this past few days.

"I think he will stay here for good Mama."

"But what if he isn't? Are you willing to go with him?"

I answered her question with a question "Are you willing to go with us Mama?"

She looked at me and said "I don't know. I've never been far away from our home. Plus, their weather. It is something that you have to adapt to. i am not sure if in my age, I can survive a new environment."

How can i not think of that? My mama is too old to live in a new and cold environment. But, i love Mew too. I scared to choose between my mama and him.

I feel my head getting heavy. "Mama, can we talk again later? my head feels heavy. I need to sleep."

She nodded and help me settled comfortably. "Ill just be here when you wake up. "

I smile at her and my eyes started to close. And darkness came in next.

MEW EZEKIEL

I was just staring at the phone, waiting for a call or text from my baby if i can go back to the room. But i was startled when his Mama sits in front of me, carrying a food tray.

"Aunty, is Gulf asleep?"

"Yes, i left him sleeping for a while. I came down here because i wanted to talk to you."

Well, here it goes.

"Do you love my son, Mew?"

"Yes Aunty, I love Gulf with all my heart. During those seven years that we are not together, I am trying my very best to work, and excel so that when I comeback, you will see me as worthy for him."

She smile. But a sad one.

"thank you, for loving him all these years. But i want to apologize too."

"For what?"

"For my selfishness, seven years ago."

And like an open dam, memories of our separation seven years ago, flashes on my mind.

FLASHBACK
