RULER a.k.a DADDY

chap 38

Korn's pov.

"She just ran away like that leaving everything behind. I asked my men to search for all the city for her. Mew was a little kid. I could not leave him alone in the house. I took mew with me and drove around the city searching for her. Running around in the rain, late at night.
I should have tried harder. I should have spoken to her from the beginning.  I...she..."  He could not speak anymore as tears rushed out.

I held him tight. Begging him not to cry. Seeing him cry is so breaking. The worst thing is I don't to how to calm him down. I can't say 'it's okay' because everything that happened is not okay. He went through a lot all these years.

"She hated me till her last breath. She hates me korn. She hates me so much"
My heart got heavy seeing him cry.

"Don't cry...please"  I pleaded.

"Come.." I took his hand and made him stand up from the couch to walk him into our room.
I gave a quick nod at mew mouthing
'I will take care of him ' and I gave another nod towards gulf eyeing mew. Silently telling him to take care of that kid.

I took him out of there to avoid knock to break down in front of the kids. Knock needs to calm down. He needs space, comfort. So as that kid gulf.
I need to leave those kids alone too.

"Sit " I made knock sit in the bed with his back to the headboard. I sat beside him taking his hand into mine kissing his knuckles lightly.

"I will bring some water for you" I kissed his temple and walked into the kitchen. I frowned when I saw mew pouring water into a glass last into thoughts not realising the glass is overfilled.

"Mew " I called walking to him. He snapped out of his thoughts as I called his name.

I took the bottle from his hand and put it beside the glass and looked up at mew who is watching me with that sad look. The same look he had when he saw his dad crying for the first time as a kid. He still looks a kid to me.

"I don't know what to do" He spoke lowly like he was about to cry.

"Did you speak to your boy? " I asked.

"No. He is not even looking at me. He just sat there looking at the ground."
He said looking at me helplessly.

"I am scared, korn," He said, fear evident in his voice. The fear of losing the person he loves.

"Don't be scared mew. He is trying to process everything. It will be hard on him. You need to be there for him. Talk to him. Yes, He needs some space to think but doesn't leave him alone. Just sit with him, hold him. Tell him you are there for him. You will go through it, buddy" I said patting his shoulder.

"He needs you. Be there for him" I told him making him sigh letting the tension fall and getting prepared to face it.

"Go. Speak to him " I pushed his shoulder lightly urging him to walk.

"Hey..."  I called him to make him look behind his shoulder as something hit my mind.

"Did you realize? Gulf is your cousin  "
I said.

I did not have time to see mew reaction as my eyes fell on gulf who is standing at the kitchen door. By the look from his face. I am sure he heard the cousin thing.

Mew gave me that look ' Imma kill you' before walking towards gulf.
I raised my hands in defence to the reply of his deadly look.

Damm this suppasuits...They are all scary.

I took a water bottle walked to our bedroom to my knock.

Mew pov...

My heart dropped by the look on gulf face when korn said we are cousins.
