It was a very bright morning. Gulf can barely open his eyes when the sunlight radiates from the window. The soft blanket and comfortable mattress really make his body to be so lazy. He didn't move around at all and just cover his face under the blanket to avoid the sunlight.
His body is so tired from last night. He couldn't get any sleep at all. Today, he only wants to close his eyes and get a lot of sleep.
"Hey, wake up." Someone is trying to wake him up. Calling his name softly.
Gulf didn't respond at all. He pretends not to hear the call. "Gulf, wake up." Gulf's name keeps being called.
Then, his blanket is stripped down. Gulf barely opens his eyes to see the person who keeps disturbing his sleep.
Mew is smiling brightly at him, wearing white pajama, and lies princely next to him while his hand fully covers Gulf body at the moment. Mew's face is very close to him that he can hear Mew's breath.
"Why are you still sleeping. It almost 12pm already." Mew says with a pampered voice. Gulf gruff at Mew. "I'm still sleepy P'Mew." He says with sleepy tone while closing his eyes.
Mew laughs a little and wraps Gulf's head in his arm. Gulf still closes his eyes and not moving at all. "How can you be sleepy. Come on, wake up now." Mew touches Gulf's face and hair. He really tries to annoy Gulf to wake up.
Gulf making annoyed sounds from his mouth, opens his eyes and looks at Mew, fiercely. "It's all your fault. Why do you keep want to do it? I really didn't have much sleep last night." Gulf whines while his head still wrapped inside Mew's arm.
Mew laughs. "Last night was awesome. It was our first night together living here. So, I just want to celebrate it." Mew laughs again after saying it. "I know you are happy but right now, I'm paying the consequence. My hip almost broke last night." Gulf whines again.
Mew smiles then starts to kiss Gulf all over his face. Gulf looks too cute right now. "P'Mew, stop it. I'm not even showered yet." Gulf tries to stop Mew with his hand, but Mew is too aggressive. "You are so cute right now." He keeps kissing Gulf while saying it.
"Okay, Okay, I wake up now. Stop it." Gulf surrenders and put his hand over Mew's face to stop the kissing monster. "Alright, go to shower now and we'll have lunch later." Mew says it after removes Gulf's hand from his face.
He gets off from the bed and stands at the end of the it. "After lunch, I'll have something to do. Do you want to follow me?" Mew asks Gulf who sits on the bed with messy hair. "No, I'd rather stay at home today. I haven't unpacked all of my stuffs yet." He yawns while saying it.
Mew laughs. "Okay. I won't be gone for too long." He says it and walk out of the bedroom.
Gulf half-asleep, gets up and takes his towel to the bathroom. He turns on the shower and starts to wash his body all over with soap. Then, brushes his teeth and wash his face with some cleanser. He looks at himself in the mirror while blow drying his hair.
He stares into the mirror, slowly losing his thought into something. After a week the death of Felix, Mew keeps pressuring him into moving in together. At first, Gulf was reluctant to do but after begging and sulking from Mew, continuously, Gulf weight in.
He reminiscences on the day he tells his parent about Mew and moving in together. It was at his parent house and during dinner.
"Mom, dad, I have something to tell you." Gulf says in soft tone while looking nervous at everyone. Mew also looking especially nervous, sitting next to Gulf on the small dinner table. They were sitting facing each other; Mew faces Gulf's father while Gulf is facing his mom.
The house is not that big but comfortable enough for guests to come and enjoy being here. It has 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms with living room and kitchen are combined. The furniture also consists of non-luxury brand. Gulf's parent really living a modest life.
"Well, what is it, son?" His father asks while looking anxious at Gulf's mother who sit next to him, wearing a cripple white blouse with hair tied bun style. "Are you okay, Gulf? Why looks so nervous?" His mom adds to the question.
Gulf exhales a big breath. "I'm dating P'Mew." He calmly says it while looking straight into his parents' eyes.
Both of them pause the reaction for a second. They look into each other faces, with a concern look. "Mom, dad, I'm sorry if you are disappointed in me." Gulf apologizes after his parent give no reaction.
"I'm sorry to for loving your son." Mew adds to the sorry section. He feels like he disappoints Gulf's parents too.
Gulf's father, Mr. Thanut, clears his throat and drinks a bit of water before looking at both Gulf and Mew, intensely. "You don't have to be sorry for falling in love, son. You too, Mew. There is nothing wrong by loving someone. Love is not a fault thing." Mr. Thanut says with a smile.
Gulf and Mew looks at each other, beaming with a smile. "You are okay with me dating P'Mew?" Gulf asks with a smile. Both his parents exhale and look down a bit.
Mrs. Thanut smiles at her son and Mew. "We are okay, son. As long as you are happy. But we do sad a bit because you are the only son that we have, and we are kind of hoping that you would give us a grandchild at least to continue our descendent." She softly says her worries while also hoping the best for Gulf.
Gulf looks a bit down with his mother's confession. He realizes that he can never continue his family line if he continues to be with Mew. It's not the same even if you do like the modern way of getting child. The traditional and dignified way is through marriage between man and woman.
However, this is not like years back when having child out of wedlock is a bad thing. Gulf needs to realize child is not the only thing that matters. His happiness now is the most important thing and by being with Mew, he is the happiest.
Mrs. Thanut looks at her son with a warm smile. She holds her son hand. "Gulf, for me, grandchildren are not a problem. You don't have to worry about it. I'm just saying my thought and concern only. But that didn't have to bother you because I want you to be happy." She comforts her son.
"But mom, I'm the only child in this family. If i.." Gulf doesn't get to finish his words. His father cuts in real fast. "Don't you dare to make yourself suffer just to make us happy. We don't want that. You should know, if you are happy, then so are we." The rough voice from Mr. Thanut really hits Mew and Gulf.
Gulf smiles at his parent, feeling grateful to have them as mom and dad. "Thank you, mom, dad. I really appreciate your blessing." Gulf looks at Mew after saying it.
"Thank you, Mr. Thanut, Mrs. Thanut." Mew also adds to the thank you words.
"Promise me one thing. You will take care of my son." Mrs. Thanut asks for Mew's promise.
Mew smiles and turns his head to Gulf. "I will take care of him forever, Mrs. Thanut." He says with the happiest face he ever had.
Gulf smiles a bit but then he tries to cover his blushing face. "Do you think I'm a kid, mom? I don't need anyone to take care of me. I will take of him and me at the same time." Gulf tries to sound manly.
"Sure, you can take care of yourself. Try waking up on time without anyone doing it for you first. Then, you can say that you can take care of yourself." His father makes a harsh joke. Mew and Mrs. Thanut laugh at the same time.
"Dad, I can wake up on time if I want." Gulf replies with a pout.
"It's okay, Gulf. I can wake you up every day after this." Mew says while smiling at Gulf.
Both Mr and Mrs. Thanut looks confuse. They frown their face so hard. "What do you mean by you will wake up Gulf every day?" Mrs. Thanut asks, stuttered.
Mew and Gulf just realize that they haven't told the big news yet. They nervously try to gulp and exhale. "Mr. Thanut, Mrs. Thanut, I have something to ask your permission." Mew says in a serious tone.
Gulf's parents look curious. They lean front onto dinner table to hear the thing that Mew about to say. Their eyes are getting bigger and bigger with their curiosity.
"Gulf and I would like to live together." Mew asks politely. "Yes, mom, dad. I think I want to live with P'Mew. Hope you can allow it." Gulf asks their permission too after Mew.
Both his parent lean back to their chairs. "I don't care that much. Nowadays, couple always living together" Mr. Thanut coolly gives his permission. "Mom too. I am happy if you live together. That way, you can take care of each other." Mrs. Thanut gives her opinion too.
Gulf smiles at his parent then to Mew. "See, I told you my parent is cool. They will not against us." Gulf suddenly says it to Mew with a proud smile.
Mew smiles at him back, awkwardly. "I guess so." He whispers to Gulf.
Mrs. Thanut smiles at her son and Mew. "I guess, you guys will start to live like a couple soon. Just be careful. Use protection." Mrs. Thanut jokes at her son.
Mew and Gulf flustered by the comment. "Mom, don't say that." Gulf feels so shy. His red cheek and ears appear in a flash.
They laugh at the embarrass couple. "It's the truth. You have to use protection." Mr. Thanut adds to the advice-joking section. Then, they continue to laugh, loudly.
Mew leans his head to Gulf. "You parent is too cool. I think we need to do it often then." He says it with a smile. Gulf makes an angry cute sound with fierce eyes. "Not here, P'Mew." Gulf whispers while clenching his teeth.
Luckily, his parent is easy going and understand his feeling. The moving in together is not a big problem and his parent also gave him their blessing to date Mew. Gulf can lead a happy life with Mew after this.
He turns off the blow dryer after done with his flashback and smiles at the mirror. Funny how he never thought his parent would be like this cool with everything.
However, he had never meet Mew's mom. Mew told him that he was raised by his mom after his father's death 10 years ago. He also has no siblings like Gulf. The last time Gulf asked about Mew's mom, Mew said she is busy with work and they can meet her later when she is free.
Gulf walks out of the bathroom with towel wrapped from his waist to knees. He opens the closet and searches for his clothes. Suddenly, Mew's hand wrap around his waist and hug him from behind.
"P'Mew, I want to change clothe now." Gulf whines with pampered voice.
Mew kisses Gulf's bare shoulder and then move to neck. Gulf moans a bit but then pushes Mew away while laughing. "P'Mew, you said you have something to do right. If I don't change my clothes now, then we are going to have late lunch and you're going to be late too. So, let me change my clothe first, please." Gulf firmly says it.
Mew makes whining sound while walking away. "Okay, okay." He says it as he walks to the bed and sits on it. "But we'll do it tonight." He requests it with a naughty smile.
"Do it again? We just did it last night." Gulf whines as he puts on his red with white stripes t-shirt. Mew laughs at that comment. "But last night it was me who becomes the husband. Tonight, I want you to be my husband." He winks at Gulf after saying it, seductively.
Gulf shakes his head with a disbelief smile. He puts on his underwear and jeans in front of Mew. "Up to you. If I'm in the mood, then we'll do it." Gulf says it then throw the towels over Mew's head and walks out of the room with a smile and shaking head.
Mew washes away the towel on his head with a smile. "I'll make sure you have the mood tonight." Mew shouts at Gulf who already out of the room. He smiles widely, showing how happy he is at this moment.

It was a quiet afternoon. After having lunch with Mew, Gulf starts to unpack and arrange his things in the new house. Yesterday, he only managed to do the cleaning and unpack a few important things.
He started with putting all of his clothes inside the closet. Luckily, the closets are big enough for him and Mew to share for clothes alone. Then, he arranges all of his shoes on the rack, from sport shoes to formal shoes before proceeds with his small items.
After about 2 hours unpacking and arranging his things, he's finally done. He takes a glass of cold water in the fridge and goes to his laptop on the dining table. It is a studio apartment, the kitchen and living room can be seen from each other. It is spacious enough for him and Mew.
He turns on his laptop and continues to finish his assignment which is due in 3 days. It's better to finish his assignment whenever he has time because all of the hectic schedules he had after becoming celebrity. His study also must not be abandoned.
He had no events for the next 4 days, so he can relax and do his study. He already in his final semester to get the degree and if he didn't focus enough, he might fail and has to repeat. He didn't want that.
He really puts all of his focus on the assignment and didn't move from the chair for almost 40 minutes. Gulf is the type to really focus on one matter at a time. Whenever he puts on his determination, he will do it at his best.
He stretches his body after finally done a few parts of the assignment. Then, he proceeds to take some snacks inside his backpack next to the sofa in the living room. Suddenly, the house phone is ringing.
"Hi, Gulf's speaking." He answers the phone politely.
"Hi, Gulf. This is Navy. Just trying to call your new house number." Navy's voice heard from the phone.
Gulf smiles. He already told Navy about his relationship with Mew a few days after the death of Felix and also about him moving in together with Mew. Navy is the most excited one about it.
"What do you want?" He asks with polite tone.
"Nothing. Just want to check on you. How's the new house?"
"Okay. We just finish unpacking."
"Is P'Mew there?"
"No. He had something to do and left after having lunch. Why?"
"Nothing much. Just want to discuss a few things with him. It's okay. I can contact through his mobile phone."
"Okay." Gulf with his simple answers, don't like to drag long conversation.
"Okay, Gulf. Bye." Navy says his goodbye. It is not the first time Gulf being short tongue with him.
"Bye." He says and hang up the phone immediately. He wants to continue with his assignment again. He walks to his chair with a bag of chips.
Then, the door ring makes his steps stop and turn his body to the door. He never tells anyone about his new house except his parent and Navy. Who could possibly know?
He walks towards the door and opens the door. There is a woman, late 50, wearing a luxury gold blouse with leopard stripes blouse, a black fur hat, black mid heels and a white branded bag with lips red as cherry and face full of make up on point. She is beautiful for someone her age.
However, her face is showing no sign of affection. Only fierce eyes looking at Gulf. "How may I help you, madam?" Gulf asks with weird face.
"I'm Mew's mom." She says with a firm voice and face. Looking unhappy.
"Oh, aunty. Please come in." Gulf flusters voice and panic face really showing. He never expects to see Mew's mom like this. He only saw her in the photo shown by Mew but she really looks different from the picture.
"Call me Mrs. Suppasit. I'm not your aunty." She walks in and harshly treats Gulf with her words. She walks in, stops in the living room and looks around the house with her firm face. Then, she smirks.
"This is the house. I couldn't believe it." She says cynically.
Gulf walks to her. "How may I help you, Mrs. Suppasit?" He asks calmly. From the way Mew's mom treat him now, he can already know that Mrs. Suppasit had a problem with him.
"I just couldn't believe that my son actually be with someone like you." She smirks and says it. "What do you mean people like me?" Gulf really asks the question because he really didn't know her meaning.
"You, the people with low background and just depend on people liking you to get money. The so-called artist." She gets near to Gulf who seems pretty upset hearing it. "I don't care if you want to get your money from all your fans or other people, but don't use my son to do that." She keeps her accusation.
Gulf's face turns red, and his eyes turn fierce. "Look, Mrs. Suppasit, I don't know why you are being like this. Coming here just to insult me. I don't think it's appropriate." He says while holding his anger.
She laughs, cynically. "You dare to tell me what's appropriate and not. You, the guy who tried to get money from my son. The guys who get money by selling your face for people to like you?" She continues to diss Gulf.
Gulf exhales deeply to suppress his anger. "Why don't you just say what you want and get out of here. I don't have time to listen to your insult." Gulf replies back, harshly.
"So rude. Is this how you treat people who older than you?" she asks with eyes big and her face like to swallow Gulf.
Gulf keeps his calm. He really didn't want to be rude, but the way Mrs. Suppasit pushes his button, he just cannot stay still and get insulted like that.
"I want you to break up with my son." She says it after calming down herself a bit.
Gulf looks a bit surprised. "Why should I break up with him?" He asks in low voice.
"You are not good enough for my son." She shouts at Gulf with angry face. Gulf frowns his forehead. "You are not from high society background, you don't have good job and most importantly, you are a man. How am I supposed to accept you? As my daughter-in-law who apparently is a man?" She basically screams at him.
She continues. "I have many companies to take care of and I want my family line to continue. I need grandchildren and I'm pretty sure you cannot give it to me. So, know your place and leave my son alone. Stop all this rubbish love thing!"
Gulf hearts beat so fast, and his anger is boiling up. "I don't have anything to say to you. If you have a problem with this, deal with P'Mew." He says in a very suppressing anger tone.
"You don't think I've tried that? If it is that easy, then I wouldn't come here and tell you to break up with him." She informs him with a big sigh.
Gulf a bit surprise. So, Mew already knew that his mother disapproved of their relationship and didn't bother to tell him anything about this.
"I want you to leave my son. You should realize that your relationship is going nowhere. No future in it. You guys won't have a perfect family like others." She continues again.
"I don't care about family as long as I live with P'Mew. He is part of my life now and that's family for me." Gulf confidently says it.
She scorns at him. "Please, don't be so in denial. You will never be happy just the two of you. It's not a family." She says it without thinking how shallow she sounds.
Gulf calm himself down. "I don't want to break up with him. And there's nothing I can do to help you, Mrs. Suppasit." He says it firmly while looking directly at her.
She smiles at him, snidely. "You sure are a tough competitor but I will make sure that my family will be protected from someone like you. I will make sure that Mew leaves you. Or, I will make sure, that you'll leave him." She smirks at him before continues. "You don't want to mess with me, boy. You had no idea with who you're dealing with. I could make you and your family suffer."
Gulf didn't feel scared a bit with her threat. He looks into her eyes without a hitch. Does he feel angry and agitated? Yeah of course. But he didn't feel scared at all.
"One day, you will beg me to let you live. I promise you that." She says her final words before walking out from the house, leaving Gulf standing alone in the living room.
He exhales deeply after she's out of sight. The sudden mother-raged scene really caught him off guard. Mew could at least warn him about this so he could be more prepared. He takes a deep breath and walks to the chair while opening his bag of chip.

Mew is driving his car from the event he just attended. He is so excited right now at the thought of meeting Gulf at home. He is so happy and smiles never fade from his face all day long.
His phone is ringing, and he sees the name 'Lucky' appears on the screen. He answers through his wireless earphone as he's driving now.
"Yes, lucky?" Mew calls Lucky's name like a close friend.
"P'Mew, your mother just met with Gulf at your new house. I think she said something harsh to Gulf. Also, she threatened him to break up with you." Lucky's voice heard from the phone.
Mew sighs loudly. He already expects this to happen eventually. "Thanks for informing me, Lucky. Please keep an eye on her and Gulf for me. Where is she now?" Mew asks with serious tone. "In her office now." Lucky answered. "Okay, bye." Mew ends his conversation after saying it.
Fortunately, he asks Gulf to hire Lucky in order for him to protect Gulf. Lucky is his longtime friend. He also works as Mew's right-hand man. Lucky can monitor his mother and also helps Gulf in necessary things like Gulf's schedule.
Mew puts on speed on his pedal and starts to drive away. Almost 15 minutes of driving, he arrives in front of a big building name MSS. He parks in front of the valet parking guard. One of the guards comes in a hurry when Mew walks out of the car wearing black sunglasses.
"Mr. Mew, how can I help you?" He says while bowing his head. "I need to meet with the chairwoman. Please park my car for me." He says it politely and gives the key to the guard.
The guard takes the key and starts the engine of the car and drive away to the parking lot. Mew continues his steps into the building, passing by the security into the receptionist's desk and lean on the table.
"Hi, Sarah, can I go inside the building for a moment?" He says it friendly with a smile. Sarah, a mid 20 woman, wearing big sunglasses with ponytail hair, smile back with the braced teeth. "Sure, Mr. Mew. May I know which floor?" She asks with her squeaky voice.
"My mother's floor. I need to meet her for a while." Then, Sarah looks down to type something on her computer and passes an access card to Mew. "Here your access card, Mr. Mew." She passes the access card while shyly smiling. "Thanks. You're sweetheart."
Mew hurriedly walks away and scan the access card on the gate before pressing the lift button to open. A few second later, the lift is open, and he scan the access card again on the lift and pressing button number 40.
Around 1 minutes, the lift's door open and he walks straight to glass door and scan again the access card before he can open the door. He takes the right lane and saw a woman in mid 30, wearing red suit and white inside with tied hair, sitting on the table next to the door with sign 'Chairman Mrs. Suppasit'.
The woman immediately stands up when she sees Mew standing in front of her. "Hi, Mr. Mew, how may I assist you?" She asks him with a flustered face.
"Is my mother in?" He asks while standing infront of her. "Yes, but.." before she could finish her sentence, Mew rushes to the door and open it. "You cannot just barge in like that Mr. Mew" She shouts as she follows Mew's steps.
Mew opens the door and sees his mother, calmly doing her work on the desk. "Mr. Mew, you cannot just barge in here." She keeps saying it even when Mew already stands in front of his mother.
Mrs. Suppasit puts down her pen and lower her glasses to see her furious-angry face's son, standing still in front of her. "It's okay, Mary. You can go now." She says it while putting back her glasses to normal. "I'm sorry madam." Mary says it and walks out of the door immediately.
"Now, what do I owe you, Mr. Suppasit?" She teasingly asks Mew and lean back on her chair while looking directly at Mew.
Mew walks closer to his mother with a firm face. "Why did you and meet him?" He asks with clenched teeth.
Mrs. Suppasit smiles, snidely. "Why do you care? It's between me and him anyway." She says it while getting up from the chair and starts to walk to the sofa in the middle room. The office is spacious that it could fit a sofa set in the living room, a broad office desk and toilet.
Mew is watching his mother walks and sits on the sofa silently. Mrs. Suppasit makes a hand and face gesture for Mew to sit in front of her. Mew curtly sighs at his mother before sits in front of her.
"You don't have to deal with me like this if you just agree and follow what I ask you to do, Mew." She calmly handles her son.
"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore. I can make my own decision." He looks at his mother and says it with confident. "I know you're not a kid anymore. That's why I want you to look at your life seriously. Don't waste it just for some nonsense reason." She snidely makes her remarks.
"Nonsense? You called my feeling is nonsense?" Mew asks in disbelief. "Oh, here we go again." She rolls her eyes. "Mew, we have discussed about this. You have more than your own feeling to think about. What about our company's future? What about our family line? I only have you to continue our family business and descendants."
"Mom, I really love him, and I cannot live a second without him. Why couldn't you understand it?" Mew sounds frustrated.
Mrs. Suppasit exhales deeply before putting down her glasses and look at Mew with soft eyes. "I understand that, Mew. I also in your position when your father died. But, with times, I can still survive and live until now. You only need to find strength to go on with your life." She's trying to be reasonable with Mew, even though she still thinks that Mew's feeling is overrated.
No words can come out from Mew's mouth at the mention of his father's death. He looks down with a sad face. Mrs. Suppasit realizes that and starts to feel guilty to mention her husband's death. She out of all people should know how much Mew misses his father.
She clears her throat and tries to control her reaction. "I want you to be happy. I know what's good for you and our family, Mew." She controls her tone to be calmer and softer.
"I understand your concern, mom. I do want to take care of family and business. But I'm also not going to let Gulf go just like that. He is my life now and I cannot live without him." Mew says it with softer face.
"You have to choose Mew. Either this family or him. I don't want our family to end with you alone." She tries to calm her son down by holding his hand.
"What if I choose both?" Mew asks with a sincere eye.
Mrs. Suppasit let her hands go and sighs loudly. She leans back to the sofa and close her eyes for a few seconds before looking back at Mew. "You cannot do that. I want you to take care of the business and our family line. It's already enough that you want to enter into entertainment industry which I still think a laughingstock." She says with a very annoyed face.
Mew sighs loudly too. His mother never approves him of becoming actor and gets into entertainment industry. However, he successfully made a deal with her to let him be in the industry for at least five years before taking over to manage the company.
Suddenly, an idea comes into his mind. He leans a bit forward at his mother. "Mom, how about we cut a deal?"
Mrs. Suppasit raises her eyebrows. "What is it?" She sounds interested.
"What if I leave the entertainment industry and starts to work here with you? Learning to manage the company." He makes his suggestion with a smile.
She looks at her son, slowly smalling her eyes. Then, she takes a deep breath and nods a few times. "I think that's a good idea. But what is the cost of this deal?"
Mew smiles before answering his mother's question. "Leave us alone. You don't have to accept Gulf but just leave us to lead our life by ourselves."
"What? That's not a win situation for me. You still won't give me a grandchild." She says with a dissatisfying tone.
"Okay, you just want a grandchild?" Mew asks with big eyes. "My bloodline grandchild." She adds the correction to Mew. She may guess that Mew wants to adopt a child.
Mew smiles and nods a few times. "I can do that for you." He replies to her, calmly. She frowns her face at Mew. "And how will you that? Will you marry a girl and still seeing that hippie guy?" She asks, confusedly.
Mew sighs, trying to let the words 'hippie guy' go. "No, I will never do that. It just wrong and injustice to both the girl and Gulf." He answers her with serious face. "And how do you propose to do that?" She asks again.
"You know medical technology has advanced very fast. Nowadays, couples can get child even without getting pregnant themselves." He tries to explain to his mother. Mrs. Suppasit clearly still has not understand it.
"I will do surrogacy for you." Mew gives his idea. "You mean, a child born out of wedlock?" She asks in a disbelief again.
Mew rolls his eyes. His mother is one of those old-fashioned parents who still think a child is only can be accepted if conceived through marriage. Lucky for him, his mother already accepted his sexuality. Otherwise, he also doesn't know how to handle her. He will have to let her see things in a brighter way slowly.
"Mom, a child born out of wedlock is still my child. It's the only thing that I think fair both you and Gulf at the moment." He says it with a determination. Although, he still has to discuss this matter with Gulf.
"I don't know. It still not the same." She sounds whining. "Well, this is the best deal that I can give to you. Either this or none." He puts his final deal down. His mother looks at him with a consideration face.
"Okay, I think this is acceptable." She finally agrees to Mew's deal. Mew smiles widely. "Okay. Now that you are already agreed, then, please don't disturb Gulf again." He requests from his mother with sincerity.
Mrs. Suppasit sighs and nods a few times. Mew smiles brightly at his mother and stands up immediately. Mrs. Suppasit lifts her face up to see his son standing.
"I need to go now. About our deal, I will start next week." He tells his mother and starts to make his steps away.
Mrs. Suppasit stands up in rush when Mew walked away from her to the door. "Wait, you will start the deal both next week?" Her question makes Mew turns his body.
He smiles and shakes his head softly. "No. I will start to work with you starting next week. About your grandchild, I don't want to do it any time soon as I'm still young. But promise is still a promise, and I will give you, your grandchild." He states his mind and walks away immediately before his mother can say something.
Mrs. Suppasit sighs loudly before sitting back on the couch. She massages her head as it starts to get dizzy. Then, she realizes something. It may actually a good idea for Mew to start working and focus on company. Mew is no longer working as actor or those useless careers.
Slowly, she can plan out to get rid of Gulf. She may agree to not disturb Gulf again but that doesn't mean she cannot get rid of that boy from Mew. There's always a way to solve problems and she will surely find it.
Mew is such a devoted and caring son. In her entire life, Mew only against her will two times; becoming an actor and loving Gulf. She will know how to handle Mew when he's stubborn to see what's good for him. For now, she will run her plan slowly and let things flow smoothly first.

Navy is sitting in the dark alone, on the couch in the living room with only a glimpse of lamp from the kitchen. His face is not happy at all. He leans on the couch, hugging the couch pillow and stare blankly at the big screen TV.
This week actually has been the bad-dest week of his life. He feels like everything is not the same anymore with John. It all started last week at John's launching event for new product of his company; the parent company for label company that is managing Navy's activity.
He saw John, standing very closely next to Heart on stage, promoting his new skincare brand. Heart happened to be the model for the skincare product, promoting together with John at the event, standing side by side like a very close couple.
Navy was invited to sing at the event. There were reporters there with few of other guests which comes from the same industry as John. His stage was welcome warmly by the guests and reporters as they all asked him with many questions and compliment him non-stop afterwards.
However, the triggering part is when Navy attended the private after party launch. It was held in at the same place but different hall. The attendees were only the same guests without reporters. When he walked into the hall, he saw John and Heart were talking to the guests, closely.
He walked towards them and said hi to John but John plainly says hi back and continues to speak with his guests. He tried to stay positive. Maybe John just wants to get close with the guests, for his business purposes.
"Hi, how are you, Navy?" Someone saying hi to Navy while Navy walks into the bathroom after standing cluelessly next to John for a few minutes.
Navy stops his steps and look up, to see the man who is saying hi to him. The man is wearing black tuxedo with cripple shirt and hair was long until the shoulder but neatly styled.
"Hi, I'm good." Navy answered while looking strangely at him. He actually tries to remember, who is the person in front of him right now.
The man comes to him with a laughing smile. "Hey, you must not remember right? That's sad." He said it with a sad face. Navy replied with a small awkward laugh. "I'm Luke. We met on the bar before when you join me and John at the bar." He told Navy the story.
Finally, Navy can remember him. The guy who flirts with him a bit when he and John were fighting that time. "Oh, I remembered now." Navy said with 'just remember tone'.
The guy smiles and up his hand for a handshake. "I'm Luke by the way, in case you forgot my name." Navy shakes the hand back. "Luke. Of course, I remembered you. How are you?" Navy with his fake tone voice.
"I'm good. Actually, I was hoping to meet you here tonight. When John invited me, I really hope to meet you." Luke says with a sincere eye.
"Yeah? Why is that?" Navy asks, like a dumb person.
Luke laughs a bit at the question. He really thinks Navy is too cute to handle. "Because I like you."
Navy froze at the sudden confession. He didn't know how to react. His body starts to stop functioning with saccadic eyes.
"Navy? Are you okay?" Luke asked him when Navy still standing still without any word for almost a minute.
"Oh? Yeah, yeah. I'm okay." He replied to it, flustered.
Luke smiles at him again. "I don't know what else to say, but I really like you." Luke, with his soft voice, warmly saying it while lovingly looking at Navy.
Navy clears his throat. "Look, Luke. I'm not interested in you at all. sorry." Navy being honest with Luke.
Luke's face turned sour immediately. "Sorry, Luke. I like someone else." He continued to give his reason. Luke sighed and nodded a few times. "Is it John?" He straightforwardly asked the question.
Navy was caught off guard. He didn't respond to the question at all. He just gave a polite smile to the guy. But he did realize that John didn't tell Luke their relationship yet, even after that night.
Luke suddenly gives him a sweet smile back. "I'm sorry for crossing the line. I shouldn't ask who you like." He apologized immediately. Navy nodded his head. "Thank you." He said it to the understanding Luke.
"But hey, we can still be friend, right?" Luke suggested it. "I like that idea." Navy replied with a smile. "Let's get into the party now." Luke suggests them to go inside the party.
Navy was about to tell Luke his purpose to the bathroom but couldn't as Luke drag his hand immediately and walked into the party, straight to John and Heart.
"Hi, John. Look who I met?" Luke said with a big smile while his hand still grabbing Navy's arm. John saw it but reacted normal. Navy felt strange with John's reaction, then washes away his hand from Luke.
Luke looked at Navy, confusedly. But then, he turned to John and smile brightly. "Great party, man. Your product is going to sold out very fast. I guarantee you that." He said to John and laugh hard.
"Why is that?" John asked with a big smile. "Because your product is very good. Plus, you have an amazing model; beautiful, sexy and cute." Luke continued his laugh after that. Heart also joined the laughing session with John and Luke, except Navy who already looking pretty upset.
What's making Navy more upset is because before he goes to the toilet, John purposely didn't want Navy to hold his hand, even when no people around. He can feel that John suddenly becomes so cold.
Navy exhales deeply at the flashback. After the event, John becomes more distant from him. Always working late and go to work early. Sometimes, he sleeps at the office. He always said that he's busy because of the new product launching.
But Navy is not that stupid. He can sense something's wrong with John. The caring and loving John suddenly becomes cold and distant. It has been a few days Navy stays up late to wait for John to come home as John never reminds him if he's coming home or not, not like before.
The sound of keys unlocking the door makes him nervous. He also doesn't know why he should be nervous but tonight, Navy really wants to ask the real question to John.
John opens the door and switch on the light. He surprises a bit when he sees Navy, sitting alone on the couch while hugging pillow. "You haven't sleep?" John asks while putting away his keys at the key bowl next to couch's mini table.
Navy sighs before looking at John with a serious face. "I have something to ask you." He says while looking at John.
"Can you ask tomorrow? I'm so tired. Just want to wash up and go to sleep now." He says it while walking into the bedroom, untying his tie and putting the briefcase on the bed.
Navy groans slowly, pushing away the pillow and walks into the bedroom with an angry face. "I need to talk to you now." He firmly says it.
John sighs while unbuttoning his clothes. "Navy, I really cannot talk tonight. I'm so tired." John says it while putting his clothes away on the bed.
"John, I want to know why suddenly you become like this?" Navy shouts at John when his request being ignored by John.
John stops his step from going to the bathroom and walks back to Navy who stands near to the bed. "Why are you asking me this question?" He asks back with very frown face.
"You are not the same anymore. You feel so distant nowadays." Navy says with sad voice.
"I told you before that I have so much work nowadays and I have no time to entertain you as before. You should understand me." John seems a bit annoyed now.
"I know you are busy with work, but you just didn't seem like the John I knew. You've changed." Navy continues to say his heart.
"Navy, people keep changing every day. It's not a big problem."
Navy looks at John with a judgy-face. "That's not what I meant. You have changed towards me, John. You didn't treat me like before."
John moans in angry. "So, what do you want from me? To treat you like a prince every day? To be with you all the time? Is that what you want?"
John's questions really hurt Navy. No words can come out from his mouth. He is trying so hard to hold his anger.
"God, I just want to have some rest when I'm at home." John snidely says it and walks into the bathroom with angry steps.
Navy sits on the bed, automatically and exhales a big breath, trying to calm his nerves down. Maybe, John just stressed out from working and he need to really rest now before Navy can ask any question.
Navy is just trying to make himself feel better. Then, he sees John's shirt on the bed. He takes it and realizes a lip's mark on the chest area. Suddenly, not only angry feeling appears into his heart; sad, betrayed and confused.
Did John cheats on him with someone else? Why would John do this to him? If John didn't love him anymore, John can just tell me. No matter how hard it is, Navy can still accept it. No matter how much his heart will break, he can still take it. But not when John's cheating on him like this. It feels like his heart being torn apart.
Suddenly, John's phone ringing a notification sound. Navy takes it and sees the message. It was from Heart.
"Thank you for the date tonight." The text on the screen really says that.
Like a broken glass, his heart shatters into pieces. Eyes starts to get teary, and pain starts to swell up into his heart. Navy clears his tears and starts to pack his clothes and things into a medium size bag.
John opens the bathroom door when Navy is about to walk away from the room. "Where are you going?" John asks with both of hands up.
Navy furiously looks at John. He goes to the bed with his bad on the right shoulder, takes the phone from the bed and throw it at John. Luckily, John manages to catch the phone before it falls off. "What's the matter with you?" John shouts a bit while looking angrily at Navy.
"Read the text. Don't call me." Navy says and rushes out from the room with the tears that almost fall down.
John opens the text and read it. He sighs loudly with an annoyed face. He walks a bit into the bedroom door but Navy already out of the house. John looks at the text with an angry face.
