Missing Piece Of My Heart

Chapter 6

( Bold : Mew  Italics : Gulf )
"Gulf come inside, we were waiting for you". Gulf was dumbstruck at the sight of the man who stood in front of him. Gulf felt Mew looked so different from how he saw him in the afternoon. He could see Mew looked so relaxed and peaceful now. From the moment he got to know about Mew from Boat, what he felt for the older one was pure respect and admiration. Gulf could see that Mew was a perfect husband material. He was blessed with good looks, wealth and from the small background check he made before coming here he found out about Mew's talents and of course a successful business man. But still he chose to live 10 years of his youth for his children and still does. "Gulf are you planning to stand at the door for the whole evening ".
"Sorry Phi". Gulf felt embarrassed at himself, he just silently let himself in. He didn't know what the kids liked so he bought a watch for Ethan and a chain with a pendant for Emma.
"Phi Gulf you came. I knew you would come for sure." Said an Excited Emma." And how did you know I would come?"
"We just knew it" replied Ethan. Gulf gave them both the gifts he brought with him. After that Mew introduced him to everyone present and he greeted them with a smile. Gulf had bought some chocolates earlier which he gave to Thanya."You didn't have to do that Gulf" said Pufai. It's my pleasure phi. Then Mew's mom brought the cake and they started the celebration .The twins received gifts from everyone. Mew gave Ethan a guitar, Ethan have inherited Mew's talent and passion for music, while Emma recieved a huge stuffed panda as she had been asking for it since a long time.

Now everyone was sitting around the dining table for dinner. Gulf sat between the twins as they insisted while Mew sat across him. Gulf served the twins their food, he didn't know why but he  just wanted to do so. Mew couldn't help but smile at Gulf. During dinner Tong's parents announced their plan to go over a world tour.
"Old man don't you think you and mom should also do something like that". Dad, Pops is not old it's just that you and mom invited us a little early than expected said Ethan."That's my boy" Mr Suppasit said patting on Ethan's head. While eating Gulf couldn't help but steal glances at Mew. Gulf found that every time Mew smiled he felt like it never came from inside. He couldn't find the happiness of those smiles in Mew's eyes. Gulf could see only loneliness and sorrow in those eyes. he couldn't help the feeling that the man sitting infront of him was not the real Mew Suppasit, he felt that the real Mew was hiding behind the mask he wore. Gulf really wanted to know why no one noticed this or did everyone just chose to ignore it. He have never had these feelings before ,he had a strong urge to tear of that mask, a strong desire to know the real Mew and most importantly he didn't know why he felt like this. But he was sure about one thing that he wanted to see the elder male happy, he wanted to take all those sadness and sorrow away from Mew.
After dinner Gulf announced that he has to leave as he had a morning schedule. He said his good byes to everyone and hugged the twins before leaving. Mew accompanied Gulf to see him out. Gulf didn't know whether they would meet again or not. He knew that inviting him here was Mew's way of saying Thank you. When they were at the door Gulf spoke "Phi I think I know why you suggested your parents about the world tour. You think they really deserved a break , they have been with you and the kids for long, as now the children have grown up you want them to find time for themselves." Mew was silent so Gulf thought he said something wrong, he knew he shouldn't have said that. You are right but I don't know whether the old man will agree but I will convince him.
Gulf wanted to say that he should find time for himself but he kep quiet. Gulf are you free tomorrow can we talk? Its about work. I don't know phi I have to ask my manager.I will let you know tomorrow morning. Good night phi. Good night Gulf.
