Falling in love with a superstar (MewGulf ff) - Completed

Chapter 9

The meeting day

Gulf had really tried every possible things he could do to avoid the situation. At first he really wanted to tell Mew the truth.  But seeing his enthusiasm about meeting his idol, Gulf couldn’t bring himself to expose the truth. Then he thought to not go there as Type by giving Mew any excuse he could think of. But Mew was really adamant and wasn’t ready to listen to any of his excuses. And now constant texting of Mew reminding him about the meeting is not helping in any way. Rather it was increasing his guilt feeling.  So he called Mild. After talking for some time they both came with a plan. Gulf had to disconnect the call after seeing Mew's call. Mew was already at his area for fetching him.
Mew was grinning ear to ear. He waved his hand after seeing Type. They reached the decided place almost an hour prior time. Gulf's manager already booked a private place in the restaurant.  Mew couldn’t hide his excitement from Gulf.  That made him more guilty 😔.
Type got a phonecall from Mild after some time. He excused himself and received the call. But accidentally (or intentionally 😛) the phone got in loudspeaker.  Mew can listen the whole conversation. Mild sounded very weak and he told Type that he was very sick and needed his help urgently.  After cutting the call, Type looked at Mew with a sorrow face.
"I'm really sorry, phi. Mild doesn’t have any relative in this city. I really have to take care of him. I can't accompany you to meet Gulf. "
"It's ok,nong. I understand.  You should go. Take care of yourself also."
"Ok, phi. You don’t worry. Gulf would be here on time.  I've talked with him before coming. So bye,phi."
Type quickly went to the washroom of the restaurant and changed his getup like Gulf.
When Mew saw Gulf he started trembling in nervousness. Gulf was really feeling guilty.  But anyway he brushed his guilt feeling and walk towards their table.
Conversation between Mew and Gulf :
M: Hi(in trembling voice)
G: Hi (smilingly)
M: I can't believe I'm really meeting my idol face to face. I'm really nervous.
G: It's ok na, phi. It's not like that I'm an angel. I'm just an ordinary human being. Just like Type.
M: Thanks a lot for coming today.
G: I can't deny Type.
M: Looks like you two are really close.
G: yes,phi. We are like 2 body 1 soul since childhood.
I'm sorry, phi. I still can't tell you the truth 😔. [A/N: Italic words are Gulf's thought ]
M: Oh, you two know each other since childhood?
G: yes,phi. We were in the same orphanage.  I liked to sing. Coincidentally the president of my company noticed me in the annual function of our Orphanage.  And my life got changed.
M: You and Type lived in an Orphanage? (Shocked)
G: yes,phi. Why, Type didn’t tell you?
Of course I didn’t tell you as I didn’t want your sympathy.

The words of Gulf made Mew realise that he didn’t know a single thing about Type's past or his family.  Rather he didn’t really feel the need to ask that. Now he was feeling guilty terribly for neglecting a good friend like Type.
