Chapter 1

2020

It's a routine. Wakeup. Shower. Eat. Gym. TV. Work. Repeat. That's how Mew's life is for the past 2 years. His life cycle is like a robot. It works on the same thing over and over again. It's like he was set-up to follow the routine religiously. He rarely met his friends nor talk to his family ever since the death of his wife. And majority of them knew how heartbreaking it is for someone to lose their partner. Aim was Mew's first love. The fact that she died during their wedding anniversary, that hurts the most. And because of that, he forbids anyone to even mention her name, the date. It's like saying a thing about her, would cause a huge destruction.

Mew flipped his pancakes on a pan when the phone rang. Thankfully, the pancakes is cooked so he grab his plate and place the pancakes ontop of it and he rush off to get the phone in the living room. "Hello?" he picked up. "P'Mew? It's Tul here." Mew sighed. "Hmm.... what is it?" he asked.

"We've never met for quite some time. I was wondering if you are free today? Let's catch up for lunch, shall we? Mild and New are here." Tul explained. "Sorry, I'm not free today. Maybe next time." he replied. He then ended the call and he went back to the dining table and ate his breakfast. The phone rang again but this time, he did not made his way to pick it up so the call was transferred to voice-mail.

"P, too bad. We're at your apartment now. In fact, we're infront of your house."

His eyes widen and he nearly choke on his pancake. He got up and he ran to the door and look through the doorknob to find Tul, Mild and New standing infront of his door. "Fuck." he cursed. He opened the door and New, followed by the rest, rushed to him and gave him a tight hug. His eyes widen as he tried to breath while getting squeeze by the three of them. "Okay, okay, calm down, people. I'd appreciate if you could just let me go." he begged. They let him go and they smile.

"It's time to go." New said. He raised his eyebrows. "Go where?" he asked. New rolled his eyes and look at Mild. "We're going for a lunch date. The 5 of us." Mild replied. "5?".

They nodded. "P'Both will meet us at the location since he had to do some last minute errands. And you, no excuses. We're heading out. Now." Tul explained. He then grab Mew's hand and rushed out of the house, followed by New and Mild. Mew felt he's being kidnapped by three of them ; yet, he couldn't said anything because he wasn't given a choice or option to say no, plus they're out of the house and they're in his car.

He's thankful enough to have such friends who care for him, who knows him really well, who knows what he likes or dislikes and even where his belongings are. 2 years of him being in isolation, not knowing what to do after the loss of his wife, his life wasn't stable neither wasn't healthy either. He barely able to care for himself, his house was a mess. The three of them took turns caring for Mew who barely able to live. Mild took care of his needs, Tul took care of his household, New and Both took care of his physical and mental being ; since Both have an experience in medical field. They knew how hard it is for Mew and they're trying their absolute best to care for him. He can't refused them because they helped him so much to be who he is today so he reluctantly accept their offer and off they went for a lunch date.

At the restaurant....

They were busy looking at the menus while Mew stare at the menu, wondering what to eat since he had eaten breakfast. "P'! We want to order." Mild wave at the waiter. The waiter walk to them and took out his note and a pen, ready to take order from them.

"I'd like this crispy pork with basil. And this tofu with veggies." New said. "I would also like citrus tea." he added, closing the menu.

"I want tom yum with fishball. As for the drink, I'd like lemon tea." Tul said.

"Fish fillet with sweet potatoes. Coke for the drink." Mild said.

Everyone send their orders except for Mew who is looking at the menu, without saying anything. They waited for Mew to say but they can already guess that he's deep in his thoughts. So Tul decided to say his regular order for him.

"As for him, he'd get sweet sour chicken with basil and for the drink, he'll get sprite. Thank you."

The waiter nodded. "Alright, I'll get your orders up."

Tul then help to close the menu and it gets Mew's attention. "Sorry, you guys ordered already?" he said. They nodded. "Mew, you okay?" New asked. He nodded. "Yes, I'm okay."

"You look disturbed. What's happening?" he asked.

Mew sighed. "It's just when I look at the menu, it reminds me of her. She likes crispy pork."

New pout. "I'm sorry, Phi. I didn't meant to order the same food as she likes. I'll go change my order." he replied as he was about to get up, he bumped into a young man.

"Ow!" New yelled as he landed on his back. They got up from their seats and tried to help New up. Mild check onto the young man who also landed on his back but this time, he hit his head. "Are you okay?" Mild asked.

The young man rubbed his head vigorously. "I'm okay." he said as he struggled to get up. "I'm sorry, Phi. I didn't meant to bump into you." he apologised.

New brushed off the dirts from his clothes. "It's okay, Nong. I'm good. Are you okay? You seemed to hit the floor really hard."

The young man shook his head. "I'm good. I'll never get hurt because it's just a small injury". Their eyes widen as the young man replied to New. "Oh, here's my number if any case happened. Please get yourself check too, Phi. You landed quite hard as well. I'm sorry again." he wrote his number on New's hand before rushing off.

New looked at Tul and then Mild and then Mew. They're in a shocking state. "P'Mew.. Did he just said-"

"He just said it."

They turned and look at Mew. "He said it."

"He said the sentence that only Aim would say."
