MINE.

5

Early in the morning, Rain arrived at her mommy's house, with her children. She leaned towards Gulf who was having breakfast.

"So how?" She whispered, frankly.

"What how?" Gulf pretended not to understand. Lazy actually he wants to talk about his meeting with Mew yesterday. What a nightmare! It just hurts.

"That bad?" Rain was that quickly caught the meaning of her brother.

"That bad." Gulf answered in a flat voice.

"So, did you talk about marriage?" Rain is still digging into the story.

"No, it's over. Finish the story. The end!" Gulf answered as he got up to wash the dishes he was using.

In a hurry, she pulled Gulf's hand away as she called her maid and told her to take care of her children for a while. She pulled Gulf's hand away and went out to the backyard because she wanted to talk more without anyone's interruption.

"Gulf, what happened?" Indeed, this Rain is suitable to be a private investigator, she will dig up the wormhole.

"It's like this, short story... Not interested!" Rain's mouth opened to hear her brother's answer.

"That kind of handsome, rich, you're not interested, Gulf?"

"Yes. Mrs. Rain." Does she need a detailed story? Gulf opened the door to re -enter the kitchen.

"Oh, no! disaster! This is a big problem, Gulf!" Both her hands gripped and shook Gulf's right arm.

"Rain, it hurts!"

"Oops! Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Gulf's arms were released, and Rain sat on a long bench in their backyard. Her eyes were fixed on Gulf's face. There is anxiety in her eyes.

"Why?"

"Is there something I don't know but should know?" Rain's eyes pondered deeply.

"How do I want to tell you this story... Is it true that Gulf with him there is no chemistry?" Why can't this Rain believe that I and that Mew really can't be together?

"Yes! No chemistry, no firework, no adrenaline. Nothing!" Only Gulf added to the story.

"That's not good news." Rain frowned.

"I do not care. The man is not one. Come on! I am still young. I don't feel desperate right now. If I don't have a partner later, I can ask Nim to help me recommend his friend," Gulf joked.

"This man is important, Gulf. Important for our daddy." Rain voice was slow.

"What do you mean?" Gulf asked puzzled.

"The man's father offered a contract to daddy. You don't know... in a year or two, daddy's company has a problem. This contract is very important! If can't, daddy's company can go bankrupt." One by one it is explained by Rain.

"Is it true? I did not hear anything?"

"Daddy doesn't want to make us worry. The problem is his responsibility only. I know when mommy tell me."

"Does it mean that if I don't marry that Mew, daddy won't get the contract?" Gulf was starting to feel sad.

"I don't know, Gulf. They came, asking you for their son. Then came the business topic. That's when Mr. Suppasit offered the contract. After all, we want the contract to be taken, but we don't want their child?" Rain raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer from Gulf.

Because the company, mommy and daddy want to ask me to get married? Should I be disappointed?

"I think our parents are actually pleased to be with them. They're really good people, Gulf!"

"The contract is just a bonus?"

"There are others thing that Gulf doesn't know..." Rain hesitates to share this one information. Gulf's face was not blinking, she wanted to make sure her brother was ready for this bad news.

"Daddy isn't well right now, Gulf. Carefully Rain reveals the secret.

Gulf was starting to get uneasy. How unhealthy is he? This time he was holding Rain arm.

"Daddy has a weak heart. The doctor said daddy should not be too stressed because it endangers his health." Only to that extent can Rain be told.

Gulf was silent for a long time, thinking about the implications of the information he had just heard. In conclusion he knows...

"Gulf needs to be the family's son -in -law, right?" His sister's eyes deepened.

"Sorry, Gulf. If you love daddy, you have to marry that Mew..."
