LET ME LOVE YOU - MAXNAT

LET ME LOVE YOU - 12

'Dad, I'm sure. It's him' 

'It's Nat!'  the woman almost scream at the phone. 

'I saw him with my own eyes, It's him!' 

'Where did you see him?'  the other person on the line said

'I'm at RV Tower, I think he works here'

'He recognised me, he ran away when I called his name' the woman continues as her eyes still wondering around that lobby 

'Do you want me to wait here?' she asked  

The young woman nods, and nods. 

'Ok, I understand' She said and walks towards the exit of the building and gets to her car.

Nat keeps on trying to get his hand off Max's grip, but Max doesn't let go. 

'Sir...' 

'Please, people might see us' Nat said while still trying to get his hand and looking at the number in that elevator door that almost reached the lobby. 

'So?' Max turns to look at Nat 

'What's the matter if people see us like this?' 

'They may misunderstand things, it's-' 

The elevator door is opened, they are not in the lobby, instead in the basement. Max's assistant nods to Max as he holds the door for both of them. Max takes Nat to his car. 

'Give me the key' Max said to his driver who follows his request eventhough a bit confused 

He brings Nat to the shotgun seat, he opens the door and asks him to get inside. Nat looks at him, a bit disagree with this, but Max doesn't budge. He insists. Nat finally gets inside that car. 

...

They have been driving for about 30 minutes, Nat doesn't know where Max is taking them. They haven't talked to each other throughout the way, Nat doesn't have any courage to start any conversation. After almost an hour driving they arrived at this beach, outskirt Bangkok. Max parks his car then get out from it. Nat is a bit confused for several seconds before following Max to get out, a bit hesitant still. 

Nat sees Max walking towards the sea, he is confused but he follows the man until he stop where the sea water almost reaches him. Max turns around and finds a rather confused Nat standing not far from him. 

'I am sorry' Max said 

Nat can hear that firm but warm tone among the sound of the wind and the soft wave from the beautiful ocean. 

'I'm sorry for being a coward' 

'I'm sorry for not being able to defend you'

'I'm sorry for not being able to protect you' 

'I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you for the past few years' 

'I'm sorry' 

Nat listens to those words, while Max walks slowly to approach him. Nat can feel his heart once again in pain, all those memories he tried to burry deep down inside, all come back to the surface. All those beautiful memories of how much love he has for the man in front of him, along with all the pain he felt. Nat couldn't hold up his tears that just free falling without warning. 

The closer Max to him the more he feels his heart about to explode, until he couldn't take it any longer. Nat turns around swiftly and about to run away from Max but the taller man caught him faster. Max hugs him from behind, he wraps him tight, Max wouldn't him go again this time. Nat doesn't try to release himself from that hug, but his body starts to tremble and sobs can be heard. Max also starts to tearing, he could actually feel the pain that Nat transmits through his sobs.
