Ch. 2 : Fall In...?

Mew's POV

We are on our way to the venue. I look at the address again. Papa never held company's party at this kind of luxury hotel, but why this time it's held in this place? Could it be a very important event? While I'm thinking, we have arrived at parking lot. After Ja parks the car, we immediately go to the venue. Mama will surely call me non-stop if we late for one minute. We get into the lift. But, when the door is about to close, a couple enters. My eyes widen.

"Oh, hello, P'Mew! What a coincidence we met here~", I clench my fist.

"Hello! Long time no see!"

"Honey... Who is he? Do you know him?"

"Yes, hon... He is my ex...", I sigh as Ja taps my shoulder.

"We need to go now. Goodbye!"

Fortunately, I need to meet Papa and Mama at lobby first. When we reach the floor, I and Ja immediately get out. I chuckle. What is she doing here after all? I shake my head. No, no! It isn't my business anymore.

"Mewww~", Mama calls me.

We approach Papa and Mama. My sister is also here too. She is talking with someone. I think I never seen that girl before.

"Mama~ Papa~"

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunty!", Ja says.

"Hello, Ja~"

"Mew, this is Aom, Papa's friend daughter.", Mama says.

"Hello, P'Mew!"

"Hello! Seems like you are having a serious talk, I'll leave you continue talking then...", I go back to my parents.

"Son, wait a bit na~ Papa's friend will be here in a minute..."

"Okay, Ma..."

Just exactly Mama said it, a group of people enter the lobby. I'm not shocked when I see my university's dean and his wife. But, I'm shocked with the one who walking with them. My eyes widen. My jaw drops. You must be kidding me.

"Mew, this is Papa's friend. Say hi to him!"

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunty!"

"And, this is his son..."

"Hello, Gulf!", everyone is shocked when I said his name.

"Mew, you already knew him?"

"He is my student, Pa..."

"Oh, really? It's great then!"

What's so great about it? I don't understand. They are also giggling. Are they planning something behind me?

"Phi, is he the one you told last night?", I nod.

"If everyone is here, let's get in!"

"Wait, Pa! Can I talk with Gulf for a minute?", Papa nods.

"Meet us in the hall!", I nod before dragging this boy.

Gulf's POV

My jaw drops when I enter the lobby. Why do I need to meet him here? A-a-and, is that P'Ja? What kind of coincidence is this? I really want face-palming myself. Can I just run away from here? I don't want my bestie getting hurt once again... I also don't want to see her again.

"Gulf, let's talk!", he drags me.

We go a bit far. It's a bit dark here. Ohoo~ There might be a lot of them here. I look around the place. I pout. My eyebrows are knitted. Shit! I was right. They are wandering around.
