Fated to be yours

Chapter 32

Gulf is at a parking lot, surrounded by mics and recorders, cameras ready to record him. He gives a wai to everyone, "Hello, I am Gulf Kanawut."

A chorus of 'hello', giggles, and 'aww' is heard, followed by a voice, "Hello, Mr. Kanawut. We know you are very private, but everyone's been curious about the person who finally has the ever eminent Mew Suppasit tied in marriage. So, thank you so much for agreeing to let us interview you. We will keep it short, we promise."

Gulf's smile is shy but confident, "No problem, please go ahead."

The interview starts with some basic questions about him and he tries to respond as honestly as possible but at the same time not giving away too much.

"How did you feel when your pictures got leaked?" someone asks further.

Gulf's brows crease as he thinks back to that day, "I didn't know about it until I was out and got surrounded by mics and cameras. I was shocked obviously and very uncomfortable. I am a very simple and private person, so I was in no way ready for the way it happened. I was upset."

"Understandable. So how are you coping up with the media pressure? Are you comfortable now with the idea of getting followed and clicked?"

"I can't say I am comfortable but I am trying to get used to it. That's why I am here answering your questions" he quips.

Chuckles follow before another question is asked.

"Everyone was surprised to know you are already doing your masters at such a young age, and there have been a lot of people marveling at your academic achievements on social media but there are also a lot of people expressing criticism over your young age regarding your marriage to Mr. Mew Suppasit. Are you aware of that? What's your take on that?

Gulf shrugs, smiling politely as he looks into one of the cameras pointedly, "All I want to say to those people is; thank you for the concern but I am not a kid."

"Since we are talking about age, did you have any apprehensions about getting married so early in life? Not many people like to get married so young?

"Well.." Gulf tilts his head, his smile turning cheeky, "I don't think one would worry about getting married at a young age if standing on the other side of the aisle is Mew Suppasit."

"We see you are very witty, Mr. Kanawut" the reporter laughs and so do the others. "Moving on to the next question, If you have to describe your married life, how would you describe it in one line?"

Gulf's eyes turn into crescents in thought, "It's hard to put in words actually" he says, smile going soft. "Marriage is obviously a big step in everyone's life, a sacred event. Mine too. If you ask me to describe it in one line...how do I say this?" he laughs flustered. "I would say...Um... it's beautiful...I would like to recommend it to everyone, the marriage" he says in the end.

"That's a rare thing to say" Someone chips in, intrigued.

Gulf shrugs, his smile soft, "You get a person, a friend, a companion for life, with whom you can share your happiness and sorrows. They get happy in your wins, console you when you are sad. You can talk about anything with them and you know they will listen. It's a wonderful feeling to know you have someone like that in your life. I am happy."

Korn steps forward and informs him that the ten minutes are over and everyone groans in dismay. He smiles, apologetic "I need to leave now."

"Okay but, before you go, just one last question please, Mr. Kanawut." When Gulf nods for her to go ahead, the reporter asks, excited, "Just now you talked about your married life a little bit and the happiness reflecting on your face said it all but I wanted to ask, Everyone is aware of Mew Suppasit's image of a ruthless, shrewd businessman, but how is he as a husband? Can you say a few words about him?"
