Gap & Mail Ch-18

Mail let out a small sigh of relief before deciding to return to Singh's house.

“Mail” a voice called out to him. Mail turn around to look before hurriedly raising his hand to pay respect to Gap's mother who had walked out of the store in order to deliver food to a regular customer who was waiting in his car. The customer had already called to place an order and came to pick it up. After delivering the order, Mail's mother turned to go back and that's when she saw Mail straddling his bike.

"Hello Auntie," Mail immediately greeted Gap's mother.

“Why have parked your bike here? Go and park it next to the house. Gap is inside. There're a lot of customers today so we're a little busy," Gap's mother said with a smile.

“Uh... then let me help you,” Mail said because he really wanted to help Gap's mother. After meeting with Gap's mother already Mail felt as though some of the heaviness had been lifted off his chest. He felt more relieved.

“Okay, good. Let's park the car next to the house first,” Gap's mother said again. Mail pushed the car to park next to Gap's shop.

“Gap, look, who's come to help us?” Gap's mother smiled and told her son. Gap turned to look before raising an eyebrow puzzled.

"How did you get here? " Gap asked.

“Rode the bike here,” Mail replied shortly causing Gap to lift a slight smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Kuan Teen, it's good that you came. Now help me. Take the bill to the table no.5, " Gap said as he handed the bill to Mail. Mail hurried to charge the customer at the mentioned table. Gap sat and looked at Mail with thoughtful eyes. But Mail walked back with a normal expression.

"Well done. It's good to come and help with your husband's housework. You will be a really good wife,” Gap said with a mischievous smile causing Mail to extend his hand to slap him on the head, not too hard.

"Don't bother me," Mail said back but raised a small smile from the corner of his mouth before going to help Gap's mother serve food and charge the customer starts until the rush started to slow down.

“Mail, Gap, come and eat first,” Gap's mother called while setting up the kitchen table for his son and his friend.  ( AN- Or should I say, Son-in-law?)

"Aren't you going to wait until the store closes?” Mail asked in surprise.

“It's alright. The two of you can go ahead and eat first. The rush has started to slow down,” Gap's mother said with a smile. Gap immediately extended his arm and hugged Mail.

"Let's eat. I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten yet after coming back from college," Gap said, leading Mail into the kitchen. Mail moved under Gap's pull and followed him in.

“Let's scoop up some rice,” Gap nodded towards the rice cooker. Mail then went to serve the rice on two plates, one for himself and another for Gap as well. Gap raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Don't think too far. I just wanted to repay you for this meal,” Mail said. Gap was about to swoon with happiness but tried to hold it in before the two of them sat down to eat together. Gap periodically turned to observe Mail's expression. He noticed that Mail look distracted while eating his food. He only ate a little and looked lost in thoughts making Gap worry about him. He knows today Mail went home. And Gap guessed that the situation at Mail's home might not be that good. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.

“Isn't it delicious?” Gap asked in a normal tone. Mail looked at Gap's face slightly.

“It is delicious,” Mail replied shortly.
