Promise

7.1

Today, as the twin had planned. They decorated their indoor garden behind their large mansion. Frank, Sammy, Prem and Jimmy were there too. They decorated the glass walls with banners and balloons making the place looks more lively. Their laughters and chatters filled the glass house.

"Frank,I think you should help Sammy decorate the table instead of doing this." Grace said as he look at the boy that were struggling really hard to make a flower with the tissue paper. Rather than flower the paper looks like it had been used for other purposes. Then, Prem exclaimed happily as Mew came into the garden with a few boxes that were filled with desserts. "Uncle Mew! Put that boxes on the table!" Mew put the boxes and proceed to help his daughter tie up the flowers on a thin hemp rope.

The table were decorated with candles and very light blue coloured tablecloth that were laid beautifully on the long tables that could hold up to 12 people. The cutlery sets were placed nicely on each place. To set everything up, the desserts which is blue and white themed french macarons tower were placed at the middle of the table, at its left and right side were a tray of fresh fruit tarts and continued with a tray full of beautiful and professionally decorated sugar cookies. At the head of the table a 3 tiered cake were placed on its stand.

The garden were now filled with decorations and foods. All of them sigh in accomplishments as they done decorating the whole place in about 2 and a half hours. "It's all done but where is papa." Grace said after letting out a sigh. Sammy tried to call the teacher only to be greeted by the voicemail. "Remember that he need to took a bus. Maybe there's a minor problem." Mark said and they waited for the teacher to come.

30 minutes came by and there's no sight of the guy making both Mark and Grace sigh in disappointment. "I think we need to start the party now, kids. The cake is going to melt. I am very sure that Mr. Thiwat is on his way here." Mew said. Both of his kids nod their head and they started to sing the happy birthday song.

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Mark an-

" Sorry I'm late!" a voice interrupted the song making all eyes darted on the guy. "Papa!" Grace screamed and go hug the teacher. All of the kids were running towards the tanned guy, leaving behind the stunned Mew.

'Is that him? He look soo much like Gulf.' Mew thought. His eyes started to water but be wiped it off. Gulf who is busy handling the kids still not realising Mew presence but when he raise his head their eyes meets.

As if the world stops to move and everything around them stopped. The looked into each other eyes but both of them were filled with different emotions.

Gulf eyes were filled with anger and sadness as the old memories started to replaying one by one inside his head like a broken record. While Mew, his eyes filled with regret and sorry. All the things the he had done to Gulf keep playing inside his mini theater in his head. Keep replaying their sweet but mostly sour and bitter memories.

As they woke up from their memories and Gulf trying really hard not to cry. "Are you okay,papa? Why do your face look pale?" Prem asked as he lead Gulf towards his seat which is next to Mew. "It's okay,I'm fine. It's just the way from the front gate and the garden is too far." He said as he put a large sized tupperware filled with fried rice. "Let's continue the party,shall we?" Gulf said and they continue to sing .

Mew who is still trying to recover from the shock just clap his hands slowly and quietly while trying to registering everything. A flashback suddenly gushes into his brain.
