Make Me Your Home

Chapter 24

Life really loves to play a cruel joke. Gulf's mind was occupied by nothing but Bright after meeting him in the Gala. Was I crying over a different person? Did that version even exist? Gulf did not want to be vulnerable now, not after all these years. But how could he stop thinking about him if suddenly shows up like that?! How did he even end up with heir of Iamkajorn? They seemed close too. Arrrgghhh..if he wanted to stay away why can't he just stay away properly? Why show up at random times? Gulf thought as he swam in the swimming pool in an attempt to keep the heartache at bay.

Mew and Gulf couldn't speak more with Win and Bright after the introduction. Both still had to come out of shock first. Then there were others who wanted the Iamkajorn's attention. So he was pulled around the crowd. Which also meant Bright got pulled into conversations along with Win.

"Mew let's go." Gulf pulled Mew's hand and both of them left the venue to leave for the planned vacation  place. It took almost two hours to reach the booked cabin. Anyway the plan was to go directly to the cabin after the Gala dinner. Now they left early.

It was a silent ride and the silence continued through the dinner of instant noodles. Gulf went to the swimming pool as he needed some alone time. Mew sat on the balcony and pressed his temples with his fingers.

Why now? Right when Gulf had moved on, right when he was ready to accept me completely. The beauty had suffered enough and Mew wanted to be part of his happiness, reason for hope. And how did he end up with Iamkajorn empire? With their son?! Did he deceive them just like he did with Gulf?  Mew had so many questions.

They both gathered back in the room after midnight. Both unable to sleep and many questions buzzing in their head. Both wanted to talk but did not know how to begin.

"Mew..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know that we have seen Win before?" Gulf started.

"We did? Where?" Mew could not remember.

"In Paris. With Bright." Gulf reminded.

"Oh...I couldn't know who was Bright that time. There were many people. But was Win also with him?...that means they are friends from atleast 2-3 years. No wonder Win showed so much confidence on an employee."

Sounds like more than friendship Gulf thought.

"Beautiful...I can take up the lead in this project. You need not get involved at all." Mew did not like to stop Gulf in his career or any other challengs, but this was different. It could harm Gulf emotionally.

"No. I will not be weak. Remember...you had mentioned to look at things for what it is. To look at the reality. I will face him." Gulf said with the confidence he could muster. Mew hugged him and Gulf sighed in the embrace.

Bright was in a similar sleepless situation. He couldn't forget Gulf to begin with, but after seeing him in real Bright could not think of anything else. He did not remember the CEOs and directors that spoke to him or the sexy and powerful ladies he was introduced to. The tall beauty who had grown more gorgeous over the years was the only one on his mind now. The caramel skin, flowy hair and plump lips. I missed seeing him grow up. He looks so confident but colder. The warmth...it surely missed. I will have to bring the shine back in my babe...Bright decided.

-------------------------------------

Mew and Gulf spent the weekend fishing and watching series.It was not how Mew had expected it or like Gulf had planned it. The Gala event influenced their time together and Mew blamed it all on Bright. Gulf was highly emotional and an over thinker. Small changes in life affected his mood. Now a big part of his past showing up obviously impacted him.
