Chapter 19

Gulf's

"Our first song for tonight is dedicated to our birthday boy, of course." Mew smiled before looking at Tong. "Happy birthday, Brother." I don't know but Mew's voice when he said that is really far from his indifferent tone. He sounded so sincere and his smile this time looks genuine. I tried looking at his eyes while he's adjusting the microphone and couldn't help but to stare at it even if he's not looking at me.

Yeah, sure. It's obvious that he's happy for Tong. But I will never know if he's ever really happy when it comes to his self. I mean, look at those eyes when it's not looking at anyone. It may seemed blank but it's actually full of hidden emotions that no one would know if no one would dare.

I see how he smiled once again before looking at the crowd.

"This is Have it all by Jason Mraz." He said while before looking at his band mates and nodding at them.

I don't know how to explain neither interpret my feelings whenever I'm looking at Mew but one thing that's.for sure is I don't want to look at anyone but him. It's hard to stop myself even if I want to. I can't resist his view. And even if his smile is either fake or real, it's still beautiful for me.

And as if on cue that the band started playing the song, our gazes met once again. But unlike the last time, he didn't broke the stare as he started singing making my doubled heartbeat doubled even more.

"May you have auspiciousness and causes of success
May you have the confidence to always fo your best
May you take no effort in your being generous
Sharing what you can, nothing more, nothing less
May you know the meaning of the word happiness
May you always lead from the beating of your chest
May you be treated like an esteemed guest
May you get to rest, may you catch your breath."
