Back at One (Slow Update)

1.

Mew is in his minibar in his penthouse. Since his high school graduation day, he changed. He became cold and distant. It's been four years.

The sparks in his eyes were gone. The happiness in him was gone, for his happy pill left him. The reason why he smiles left him. And he knows it's partly his fault.

What broke his heart more is the fact that he doesn't know whether this person is still existing or already left the earth.

When he was in his third year of college, he heard his mother crying.

//flashback//

"What are we going to do? It's been three years since they left and until now we don't have any news about them. About Kana."

His mother said. Hearing Kana's name, he stopped himself from entering and just listen.

"Don't cry, honey. Nat said that they will call us if anything bad happens to Kana." his father said.

"What's wrong with Kana?" Mew asked himself. His question was answered when his mother speaks.

"We shouldn't have let them married. This will not happen if we didn't force them." His mom said.

"Hun, we were just fulfilling his wish. We didn't know that it will turn out like this. We all thought that since they are very close, marrying them will not be a problem."

His father said. Wish? Mew thought Kana lied to him in the letter. He's now thinking if Kana knew about this from the start. He needs answers, so he barged in.

His parents were shocked to see him.

"Tell me everything. I want to know the truth." he demanded.

The couple has no choice but to agree.

They are now sitting facing each other.

'Please tell me the truth." Mew said. His mom nodded and starts...

"Son, about what you heard earlier, it's true that Kana wished to be married to you. But, he didn't tell us that. We got to know about it through his diary.

Your aunt Nat found it when she's cleaning Kana's room. She's the one who told us and asked us if we can make it come true." His mom said.

That cleared his doubts. "Why did you agree just like that?"

His parents glanced at each other. His father nodded at her and so she continues.

"K-kana was sick, son. He has a heart condition."

What his mom said shocked him. Then he remembered one time when he pushed Kana to go hiking with him and Kana fainted. They only told them that it was fatigue.

"Why he kept it from me? I'm his best friend!" Mew exclaimed. He felt betrayed and most of all, he feels guilty for treating him like that.

"He doesn't want you to treat him differently. We only got to know it that time." His father said.

He raked his hair and he can't control his tears anymore.

"Where is he? Where is he, mom? Please, tell me he's okay." he kneeled in front of his mother.

"We don't know too, son. When he asked us to file a divorce, we made a deal-

"What deal?"

"He will undergo treatment. Six months after your wedding, he stopped taking his medicines. He admitted it that time. He said living with you for one year as his husband is enough.
