Unplanned Marriage

Unplanned Marriage 2.

"What happened to Gulf"? Mew sighed looking at the families gathered in the waiting lounge of the hospital as they heard the news and rushed.

"He woke up screaming for Thanitt in his room and fell unconscious". Mew told what he could tell.

"Why was he alone son? Wasnt he with you"? Mew's mother asked him. Mew lowered his gaze, not guilty, but tired of all.

"Mae. He was upset. He has lost his fiance. Its not been a week and now he was forced to marry again. And that too with me, his brother's fiance and his fiance's brother? He is pregnant, his hormones raging. And what you want from me, to impose on him? To force him to stay in my bedroom where he knows his brother has spent so many nights.

For god sake, dont add up to my plate. I havent mourned the death of Tae. I havent cried the death of the person i loved most. I havent shed the burden of my chest since i have lowered my baby brother in the grave. What do you expect me to be? What am i? A super human being? A stone? Dont i have any feelings? I want to scream, i want to shout too. I am a normal human being. Pleaseeeeeee". He lost it. He slumped down on the chairs, crying bitterly behind his hands. His parents looked at each other in regret. May be they should have waited. Mew never said he wont take care of Gulf, but their haste led them to a break down.

They couldnt even console their children. Instead of making it easy for them to cope, they added to their misery. They both were the one living in hell, and it was just one day.

"Mr Suppassit". Mew snapped his head to see the doctor coming out of the emergency.

"Yes doctor". He quickly wiped his face and rushed to her. "How is Gulf and the baby"?

"They are better. Can i have a word with you"? She was serious and Mew felt his guts twisting in nervous.

"What is it doctor"? He gulped the saliva down his dry throat.

"May i ask who is Thanitt? And what led Gulf to it"? Mew heard and sighed. He rubbed his face in frustration.

"Thanitt, was my brother and Gulf's would be husband. The father of the child. He lost his life in an accident a week back and Gulf had to marry me due to the pressure of the families since it wont be easy for him to carry his pregnancy on his own. He woke up disoriented and disturbed and that all led it to this situation". Mew told her all in one breath.

"Well". She sighed. "He is weak. His baby is around 5 weeks old. But since Gulf is in poor shape, that could lead to effecting his fetus too. Take him to his gynea, take suppliments for him. He needs to be relaxed and well taken care in order to save the life of his child. You getting me"? She said in a stern tone. Mew looked at her with horrified eyes.

No, he cant loss any more from his life. He sat down in the chair, tears streaming down his face again. The doctor patted his shoulder in sympathy and left to check on Gulf again.

"Am sorry Thanitt.. I failed". He hide his face in his hands. He forgot how many times he had cried in the past week.

Gulf opened his eyes after two hours. He was shifted in a private room. It was all silent. He looked around, there was no one, but then the door to ensuit bathroom opened, revealing Mew.

"How you doing Gulf? Thirsty? Here". Mew came to him and held him a glass of juice helping him to sit down. Gulf looked at him with empty eyes, not responding anything. "Drink it Gulf. We will talk later". This time Mew attached the glass to his lips. Gulf didnt say anything but sipped it until it was finished.

"Gulf. I know how you feeling. I can relate to it, literally. I know your loss is much bigger than anything. But we cannot undo it. We cannot take it back. We cannot live our life in what ifs. I know its all hard, especially accepting me in this relationship.
