MARRIED LIFE
GULF'S POV
After our wedding, we went to one of my father's resort together with Mew's family. The wedding was successful but I don't know if our married life will be the same. In there, the whole family gathered and get to know each other better. Of course, our fathers didn't forget to remind us to love and care for each other. They even reminded us that they've done their part so it's up to us whether to keep the marriage or not. Well, Mew's response to them is disappointing, who would not feel disappointed if your so called husbands response to their reminders is just a simple nod. Anyways, I don't want to focus on that. I have his son though named Type. This child is so sweet he even requested to call me papa and who would dare to refuse a cute baby's little request.
After talking, we went to our respective rooms and as expected for a newly wed couple, we'll stay in one room. Mew just go straight to the bathroom, maybe take a shower. I sighed, I just hope that everything will be alright. When he went out from the bathroom, I took a shower. I made it quick when I went out I saw Mew getting some pillow and blanket and put them in a sofa. 'what's wrong?' I asked. 'Isn't it obvious? I'm sleeping in the sofa' He answered coldly. I sighed and said. 'The bed is big enough for us. In fact, we slept together in one bed before so what's wrong?' 'that was before Gulf, before' He said in a firm tone. 'Fine, you sleep in the bed. I'll sleep here' I said but he raised his voice and said. 'will you please stop pretending? fuck that attitude' 'If you know me well, you know that I don't pretend, I'm not pretending and will never be that's beyond me. Whatever you see and you'll see in the future that's me and if you don't like it. Then close your eyes.' I said and lay on the sofa. The first night of married life isn't good I wonder if it'll be good in the future or get worst.
It's been a week since we got back here in Thailand. We're now living in simple house located not so far from the central city given by our parents. Mew went back to work while I'm staying at home taking care of the family. Well, a plain housewife to be exact. I wake up early to prepare everything. I start my day ironing Type's and Mew's uniform for school and work. Then, prepare breakfast and we eat together. After breakfast I send Type to school and buy some groceries on my way home. After that, I clean the whole house, do the laundry and cook lunch. I then bring lunch for Type and eat with him in school. I wait for him until three then we go home together. Sometimes, we stopped by at convenience store for an ice cream or in the park depends on his mood. But most of the time we go home directly. Type likes to eat the cookies I bake so he helped me bake it. Then, we'll do his homework together and let him take a nap. At around six in the evening, I and Type cook dinner. In short, cooking became our bonding. It's tiring to be honest, doing the same thing everyday but I'm happy because of Type. As for Mew, we argue most of the time, he kept insisting that I'm pretending and I'm not just hurt with it but also getting sick of it. I just have to make sure that the child wont hear our arguments. We're sleeping in one room but there's nothing but coldness.
After few months together. I'm getting used to everything we have even Mew's coldness, I'm often hurt with his cold treatment towards me but I tried to ignore it for the sake of Type. I can't just burst out at him like before because of his child well our child. Type may not be mine biologically but I love him and All I want is what's best for him. As much as possible I don't want him to feel unloved so I'm doing my best. I'm waiting for Type's lunch break outside his room. After almost an hour I saw my son smiling, running towards me. He looks excited. 'Papa, I have good news for you' He said. 'what is it my son?' I asked lovingly wiping his sweats from running. 'look, next week is family day' He answered showing a card. 'Oh that's great son, let me see what we have to prepare' I said. 'Oh, so we have to prepare a costume.' I added. I then carried him to the nearest bench under a big tree. We're eating silently when he talked 'papa, can we visit daddy today? I want to tell him about this' 'Okay, son. we'll visit your dad after school okay?' I answered. He just nodded and finished his food. After lunch, I changed his shirt put a baby powder and towel on his back. While waiting for Type, I kept calling and texting Mew to inform him that we're coming but I didn't receive any response. Though, I'm hesitant I'll still go to his office. I know Type misses his dad even if he's not talking about it. Since we got married, Mew rarely ate lunch or even dinner at home. His son could only see him in the morning at breakfast but they couldn't even talk properly as he's always in a hurry. I know it's all because of me, he's making everything I do a big deal. He don't even want me to prepare his lunchbox or iron his clothes before but we got caught by Type arguing about it so he allowed me to avoid misunderstanding between them. After few hours, Type got out from his classroom but still no response. However, We proceeded We're going to his office when he called, I stopped the car for a while and answered. 'what are you thinking? don't come here' He said. 'we're coming to your office now, whether you like it or not we're going there' I said and ended the call. Type looked at me and asked 'Is daddy mad papa?' 'No, son he is not' I lied. After few minutes we arrived at the company. We directly go to his office. Type then run towards his father and kissed him in the cheeks. I smile looking at them, he is such a sweet child. 'look dad, there will be a family day next week, you will come right? Can we buy a costume today? dad please' Type said. 'I'm sorry son. Daddy is busy today and I'll be more busy next week. You can come with your papa okay? I'll give you money' Mew answered. 'dad please, it's a family day so you should come dad please, pretty, pretty,pretty please' Type asked cutely. I smiled he's not the one who gives up easily just like his father. However my smile fades because of Mew's reaction 'I told you I'm busy Type. Bring your useless papa with you. He's doing nothing at home' Mew said angrily. I'm about to interrupt when Type answered his father crying 'No, papa is not useless, he takes care of me. He loves me and you don't.' Before Type could finish what he wants to say I run towards them hurriedly and picked him up. 'It's okay baby.' I tried to console him and looked at Mew angrily. I then give him to his Dad's secretary. 'Please bring him out here, buy him snacks outside' I said and hand him my card.
