A PlayBoy's Bet

Meeting Up

Meeting up.

Gulf was going from the conference room to his cabin, busily watching the files in his hand. They had to launch new campaign and for that Gulf need to submit and edit few pictures. He was so involved that he was not aware of his surroundings until he heard a baby crying. He looked around to see a little boy crying. May be he fell down. He looked around but there was no one with him.

"Hey Kiddo. What happened"? He went and sat with him on the floor. The boy turned to him with his big bambi eyes and tears strained cheeks.

"Evan fell dao(down)". He said hiccuping. He was holding his knee. Gulf checked but there was no scratch.

Gulf picked him up wiping his tears and eyes with a tissue.

"How Evan fell down"?

"Evan waz lunning. Evan fell dao". He replied innocently. Gulf couldnt help but kiss his chubby cheeks.

"Evan. Here you are". Gulf turned to see Thanitt who was coming towards them..

"Daddyyy. Evan fell dao. Hultsh". He was sobbing again making grabby hands for Thanitt to take him. Thanitt chuckled taking him in his arms. He looked at Gulf as if asking.

"I saw him crying on the floor. He told he fell down running on the floor". He ruffled his hair lovingly. Thanitt was pamepring his boy. "Your child"? He said. Thanitt nodded a yes.

"Yes my boy. Cute isnt he". He said and this time Gulf laughed too. He went to his cabin to finish his work. Thanitt saw him leaving and he was looking at him in deep thoughts.

"See i told you". Em stood beside him.

"Hmmmm they surely resemble. But do you think he knows"? Thanitt turned to Em but she shook her head.

"No. Mew didnt tell him. Infact Gulf doesnt even know he could be pregnant. That night Mew had planned to surprise him. But"....

"Who doesnt know? What doesnt know"? Mew came listening to half of their conversation.

"Nothing mr CEO. I was asking Thanitt i didn't know someone is going on a date". Em counterback smacking his shoulder.

"Owh Phi. It isnt a date. Just.  Just a dinner". Mew said with a slight blush.

"Uh ohhhhh.  Dinner. Friendly. Yeah yeah Thanitt. Remind me who wears a formal suit on a friendly dinner"? Em teased Mew who was asking Thanitt to help him but glared when Thanitt paired with Em too.

"Anyway. When are you going"?

"Uhmm he will come here at 6pm". Mew said taking Evan from Thanitt and tickling his tummy. "Baby. Dada got to go to meet someone okay. Be a good boy with Daddy. Okay"? He said and Evan nodded. He was a cool child anyway. They walked to Mew's office crossing Gulf's cabin.

"Mew. When will you meet the new recruit"? Em asked carefully.

"Tomorrow Phi. Lets have a talk over tea okay"? He said. And inside the cabin, Gulf felt his heart skipped beats. He could never forget this voice.

"Mew"? He whisperes soundlessly. He wanted to go out and confirm himself but no, not now. Tomorrow. As he heard. Tomorrow Mew would meet the new recruit, thats him. And how would he face him after 5 years.

*************

"Am nervous Thanitt". Mew wiped his sweaty palms. It was just 15 minutes to 6 and Mew was having cold feet.

"Come on Mew. Its not your wedding. Just a dinner. And you are looking perfect". Thanitt patted his shoulder. Just then they heard a knock on the door.
