Secretly Loving Him [MewGulf]

twenty six

"I'd like to have a minute with you, Mr. Sriphothong."

Mew is now at the house of the Sriphothongs. During these past few days, he investigated where does Podd lives. And that is how he got his address.

He never remained idle. He may seem like he already accepted the fate that the heaven bestowed upon them but he is not. He spend time thinking of ways of how he could get Gulf back, how the guy would not resort to giving up their relationship for a stupid deal. And the only plan he has now is to talk with the man who made the deal. Even if he begs, he will not think twice.

"If I am not mistaken, you are Mew Suppasit Jongcheveevat. Am I right?" 

Mr. Sriphothong is already on his way to work when he happen to bump into Mew who just arrived at their house, panting and tired as he ran all the way there. 

Mew nodded at him and the old man invited him inside. 

"What do you like to have? Coffee, tea or juice?"Mr. Sriphothong queried as their maid is waiting. He is putting up a smile although his lips wanted to curve up into a smirk because his plan to make everyone suffer is already coming true, that even this young lad came to see him. He already knew what this young man came for, but he opted to act like he has no idea at all.

"I am not here for your tea party, Sir. I'd like to have Gulf back." said Mew in his thoughts but it would be rude of him if he would say it like that. As much as possible, he wanted to stay polite so he can convince Mr. Sriphothong to change his mind and call everything off.

"I am fine with anything, Sir." He smiled at the old man opposite him who instructed their maid for a coffee, instead.

"So, what business shall we talk about, Nong Mew?" 

"I will not beat around the bush, Mr. Sriphothong, I would like you to cancel the wedding. Gulf doesn't love your son. Please don't use this an excuse for your businesses. I know these are all business to you, but they have feelings, too. We have feelings. And you shouldn't play with our lives like we are chess pieces for you. Please, Mr. Sriphothong." said Mew with all the sincerity he can but the old man doesn't approve.

"I am afraid, I cannot give what you want, nong. Everything is ready now. The dates are ready, the venues are ready, everything. It's too late now. Maybe you should just give up on Gulf, like how he gave up on you. You should—"

But Mew cut him off.

"I know Gulf didn't mean to hurt me, to give up on us. I know he's just doing all of this to save their company and he earned my respect for that. It takes courage to do something you don't want, something that would hurt you. And that made me realized that my love for him grew bigger. I know he still loves me and I will do everything to bring him back. And I need your help, your full cooperation on this. Just please, cancel the wedding. Please? I will do everything just don't proceed with the wedding. Please, I am begging you."

Mew is now on his knees begging to Mr. Sriphothong. He's even crying his heart out that everyone in that house could hear him. But he doesn't care if he may look like an idiot crying on his knees, begging, if it's the only way he could take Gulf back, he will do it. He kept begging until the old man went closer to him. He asked the young lad to stop begging him because no matter how long he begs, his answer will remain unchanged.

"I am really sorry, nong. You can ask me anything but not that." He patted Mew who has already stopped crying but his face is still wet with his tears, and is staring into the nothingness. 

"You should go back to school." 

Left with no choice, Mew left the house but he is still not losing hope. There are still a few more days before the wedding. He can still find a way.
