When I Met You | OffNew

Chapter 35

Off's POV

I've been looking for New for more than a week now. Like the guy who might be Nanon's dad, it took us more than a week to find him.

Yes, we finally found him. He is already married and has kids. But I didn't talk to him as I wanted to do it together with New.

While New is away I explained everything to my family as to why we need to postpone the wedding.

I didn't cancel it just like Newwiee wanted, as I'm not gonna give up until I win him back. I'm still hopeful that we can work this out.

During those days, I keep my lines open for New's friends and family. Checking if my runaway fiance contacted them.

But it seems like it's only our son who receives an update. And as much as I want to stay in the province, I also need to work.

It was Krist who gave me an idea to watch over Nammon. He told me that New was out of radar when Mild died. So maybe Nammon might be the only one who knows where New is.

With that I asked someone to watch over Nammon and was informed that he took off early today, not to his usual route, but somewhere north.

As soon as I receive the call I drive all the way to the given location. Hoping to find New.

I looked at my phone when it beeped. My informant sent me a picture of New and another picture of Nammon at the beach.

I'm already near the resort. As soon as I arrived I parked my car and walked towards the beach. Can't wait to see my boyfriend.

But what I didn't expect was to see New's head on top of his ex-boyfriend's shoulder and the guy's hand on his back.

With long strides I walk towards where they are. I can feel my body shaking with anger.

The moment I reached the two I immediately grabbed Nammon, not minding the gasps from the people around us.

And in no time I punch the guy in the  face and he lands on his back on the sand.

"Tangina! Don't you dare touch my boyfriend!"

The guy stands up and smirks.

I am about to punch him again when I feel New hugging me from my back.

"Jumpol! Stop!"

I didn't hear him calling my name, as I'm so consumed by my anger. I tried to remove New's hands on my waist and go to where Nammon is.

"Off Jumpol!"

"Pare, pakinggan mo muna si New (listen to New first). Both of you have lots to talk about."

"Hindi kita-"

New pulls my hand and apologizes to Nammon.

"Why the hell are you saying sorry to him?"

"Off, let's talk." New said in his soft voice.

"Mon, I'll talk to you when we get back. Sorry ulit."

"It's okay Newwiee, remember what I told you."

If not for New holding my hand firmly while the other one is on my waist, I swear I will run after the guy and give him another one.

He wink at my boyfriend after saying those words, and I know he's trying to agitate me further.

The guy walked away from us leaving me and New alone, with people still giving us a glimpse.

"Halika nga (Come)." New pulls my hand leading the way to a more secluded part of the beach.

"New-"

"Let me talk first Off, I have a lot of things to say."

He patted the sand beside him asking me to sit. I sighed before sitting beside him.

I hope this will not be just like last time.

Is he really going to end us? And choose that guy?

As much as I want to listen to New, but if he'll say those words, I won't let it go out of his mouth.

"Are you choosing him?"

"Huh?!"

"Because I won't let you New. I won't give up on you. On us."

"And I don't want you to."

I look up at him directly into his eyes. Am I hearing it correctly?

"I love you Off, I'm sorry if I'm being so difficult. This is all new to me, and I don't know how to handle it. I have lots of doubts, things that worries me, things that I'm scared of."

"I'm used to handling it on my own, without depending on anybody. I don't know how to handle a relationship, our kind of relationship."

"I'm afraid to be left alone, that's why I chose to leave you. And I'm sorry for that. For not letting you fully inside my world, for not trusting you and us enough. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you."

Newwiee crying is the last thing I want to see, but I let him talk, he needs it and I need to hear it as well.

He is crying so hard making his eyes turn red and he is trying to catch his breath.

I hold his hands inside mine, drawing a pattern, trying to calm him down.

"I am partly at fault babe. I should have told you, cleared your doubts and included you in the plan. But I was also scared so I want to get to the bottom of it before facing you."

"And I found him, though I'm not sure yet if he is Nanon's father but we can talk to him."

He dried his tears and looked at me.

"I don't care anymore who Nanon's father is, he has us, that is if you are still going to marry me."

"I-" he holds his finger on top of my mouth and continues.

"I may not be vocal as always, I might do the same thing again Off. I may not be able to explain or tell everything. But I promise I will try."

"I will try to be an equal partner to you, will share not only happiness, but also sadness. I will commit to you Off and will show you every day that I'll try and will always be with you till my last breath."

"I will let you in, inside my crazy world, if you let me, I will show you how I love you."

"Please, take me back again. Please marry me Off Jumpol Adulkittiporn."

New looking at me intently. Is he really asking me that? I mean isn't my answer obvious enough?

"Babe, I don't have any plans on being wed to anyone except you."

"I love you so much, that I'm very much willing to stay regardless if we'll be sad but I hope mostly to be happy. You're my light, you give meaning to my life. I will always be here with you, never leave you till I'm alive."

"I also have flaws. I'll try to work it out with you. But I don't want you to change babe, because I love you just the way you are."

"And I'll marry you anywhere, any time, until our next lifetime."

I hugged New tightly, and looked at the sun setting.

It may not always be sunshine, but I have my own light here, beside me, and that is enough.

"Uhm babe, it's a Saturday, so can we have the wedding on weekdays? Walang pasok sa City Hall."

I laugh and kiss my fiance on the lips.
