『 Chapter 4 』

--------------------Gulf's POV--------------------

I was surprised when his father visited on Sunday, to be honest I thought that he may be an orphan or smth, after almost 6 weeks, no one visited him and I've never heard him talking on the phone except with mister Chen or Lamai asking a few questions, I'm glad I was wrong, his father is really a very nice person, he looked gentle yet I could see a little sad look into his eyes and maybe it has smth to do with his son behavior.

Actually, I understood that Mew wanted to keep his distant and refuse to get along with me or anyone else which is why I decided to keep away from him respecting his rules, I also managed to quickly find a part time job that helped me completely feel relaxed and better communicate in my native language, the twins kindergarten was also very close to the apt and it was a great place that Nit and Nin already liked

After overhearing a bit of Mew and his father's conversation, I was more sure that the father was both worried and sad because of smth that happened to his son, well what I heard is him encouraging Mew to open up to change his life and get a better future, maybe Mew went through some accident that made him avoid people, since the beginning, I felt sad to see him spending all his day alone, I want to try and help him a little that's why I decided to try and start small talk with him, even one sentence is enough

I was taken aback when he thanked me after I talked about his father, I guess he was affected by his father's words and shows that there is a chance that we could talk a lot more from now on even if it's about silly things not to mention the fact that we will have more contact thanks to the hotel project but I never thought that we will be getting in more contact so soon

*****************************************

After the first meeting with mister Chen and Mew discussing things about his prototype which I found it amazing, I started working on the interior design of the reception and everything that was on the ground floor, of course it helped me to talk a little more to Mew and being housemates was a big advantage

One day, I took some time off to prepare dinner for the twins but I found them looking sad staring at the puppy that was lying down, when I asked them they said that the dog didn't want to play with them I laughed and thought nothing about it, it can happen, sometimes animals become so lazy and won't do anything

The next day, the same thing happened and the twins got really sad, they always loved animals especially dogs and wanted to keep playing with this puppy but it seem he was tired or lazy not leaving his place by the balcony glass door, after putting the twins to sleep, I walked toward the kitchen to get a coffee since I have a lot of work and I needed smth to wake me up

"P' Mew, what's wrong?" I asked flinching after noticing him in the dark living room kneeling down next to his puppy with a gloomy and pale look on his face

"nothing" he said in a tone that tells me to stay away so I continued walking to the kitchen

"your friend" he suddenly said after a minute of silence, he slowly stood up and faced me as I kept staring at him

"your friend is a veterinarian right?"

"you mean Mild? Yes he is, he works at an animal clinic a little far from here" he looked down for another minute then glanced back up

"ca-can you call him to come?" he stuttered asking

"sure but is there smth wrong with your puppy?"

"since yesterday, he kept sitting here and not moving at all, he also didn't eat anything and barely drank any water"

"don't worry, he will be fine, I will call Mild right now" I said running to my room to get my phone, he looked so worried about his dog, I quickly contacted Mild who came half an hour later, he got in and started checking him from head to toe
