Gulf's POV

I woke up to a cold bed all alone. Was i dreaming? Did we really relieved each other? Were all those moments true? Where is phi? Then he looked around he was in different place his clothes were changed. He smiled looking at his p'thorn and mew's pic on side table. No, he wasn't dreaming everything happened in real. He smiled to himself touching his lips which were slightly swollen.

Closing his eyes all the passionate moments roamed around he was super happy. He went to washroom where he saw the hickeys his phi left yesterday night. It's sweetest night he had in 2 years absolutely no fear or pain just peace. He slapped his palm on forehead remembering all the things he blabbered. Especially about love now how was he suppose to explain mew. Idiot he also confessed...

His phone was ringing so he came out before he picks up it went silent.

A slip was kept beneath he lifted it with a even broader smile.

"Good morning honey, you were sleeping peacefully didn't had the courage to disturb you. Well, i had a beautiful night yesterday. Moving first as have to reach University as today i am leaving for excursion. I wish to be with you but i know you have your prior commitments. Hope i would see you once back. Stole a morning kiss Thanks a ton ☺️ 😚 once again for the beautiful night.

Gulf blushed hard reading the note. Again his phone rang and the number kinda made him sad but he lifted it.

Mel: Hello little handsome

Gulf: Hello mae

Mel: What's up you didn't tell me about your arrival in Bangkok?

Gulf: Mae, i came here for some work.

Mel: At mew's University

Gulf: I am called in as guest of honour for annual event. Also, i have a session with bussiness aspirants before there campus interview starts. My company would also be one who have collaborated to get fresh aspirants.

Mel: So, you met mew?

Gulf: Mae, don't behave as you don't know anything.

Mel: Yep, I don't know everything and wish you to enlighten me. Love, sounded sad but wasn't ready to tell me anything.

Gulf: How am i suppose to know why she is sad?

Mel: So, you started lying and hiding things from me.

Gulf: Don't say as if you were always true to me. Mae I don't wish to disrespect you but you knew phi was in so much pain still you stayed silent.

Mel: I always do what is good for you both. Love, is there with him you don't have to bother. He has to live his life with her let them be you complete your work and get back to your life.You both just go way ahead when together therefore we prefer to keep you away.

Gulf: Mae, did you know what stress is phi going through?

Mel: Listen little handsome in his field there is lot of stress due to study and his football fever takes up half of his energy. He would be playing international in next 2 years his coach told us. So, pressure would be there. It is nothing to worry he will handle it.

Gulf: Mae, what is the reason phi left the house?

Mel: He wished to stay near the college then thanya was also bit bothering. It was between the brother and sister. Later i persuaded him to Come back but i knew he wasn't getting time travelling. His football practice, studies and other activities made him kinda busy. So, then i let him be as kids grow up we as parents need to agree to kids wishes. Didn't we agree to all your business plans and business travelling staying silent.

Gulf: Mae, it was a lot of explanation. I think i have kept my promises till date therefore you accepted my business gests. Forget all of this how are you and Mr prosecutor doing?

Mae: Little handsome have some respect i don't ask you to call him por but at least address him as uncle he is elder to you soon would be our family.

Gulf: Okay, how is uncle aaron and his son Magnus or in simple word should i say our new family 😬.

Mae: They are good i am observing you are being sarcastic. You are really grown up but at least you talk. Mew isn't even talking to us, it's been a longtime since he have come home. Why don't you all come home i will cook for you?

Gulf: Mae, I am really busy and about phi i can't say because now he is gone to excursion after that i am here only for the day of event and then for a day i would be having a seminar about my business strategy and steps to success with all the top aspirants and awardees. That day also i have a meeting for taking hand over of a renovated property i finalised in Bangkok for my companies expansion.

Mae: Oh, you have really become a big businessman now. Don't have time for your mae?

Gulf: Mae, we meet on and off so i think it's not a compulsion right.

Mel: Little handsome we met 6 months back when you had your business party for bagging Asia's youngest entrepreneur award.

Gulf hate remembering those moments because he couldn't share it with much deserved person his phi. His mother didn't allow mew to come for the grand ceremony. Gulf was very upset he was planning not to receive it personally but a night before mew's voice and a line " Your achievements are the path you carve towards me" Hence he went head held high looking at his por with broad smile. He had surely made a lot of people jealous on that and hurt who had hurt his love. That day he truly became a businessman. His thoughts got a break when mel conversation again reached his eardrums.

Mel: You didn't tell me you are expanding in Bangkok. We usually talk but you keep things from me.

Gulf: Mae, it was suppose to be surprise for you and phi for his 18th birthday. Then you surprised me with the news that vicharwats want to send phi to states with love for their medical studies. So, i stayed silent i known you and por want phi to have best in life. Also, about hospital expansion in bangkok which needs a lot of investment which vicharwats are doing. I didn't get to know from you both.

Mel: You know a lot

Gulf: Mae, bright is constantly in contact also such big news make round in business circle. Uncle nattapol is my angel investor (first investor) therefore i know everything that happens around in business empires. World is small you forgot vicharwats company has there cyber security contract with us though its through third party still i have the rights to their system.

Mel: You really talk like a businessman i always knew you were sharp but now you sound like an intellect.

Gulf: Mae, thanks for appreciation but i think instead of changing topics you need to face it now. You both are trying to keep phi away from business issues but I think you should tell phi about this he will be very hurt if he comes to know he has been sold for fulfilling the dreams.

Mae: Gulf, don't say such lame things.. Whatever me and your por are planning it's for securing his future. Don't doubt our intentions he is our son before being into any relationship.

Gulf: I didn't meant to hurt you mae neither i am doubting your intentions. It's just...phi mew is enough hurt please i won't be able to see him break.

Mel: You don't need to worry i and love will talk to him at the earliest. Mew is sensible so we shouldn't worry he will surely accept the deal. Who doesn't wish to reach the top?

Gulf: If that was so simple why did you ask me to convince phi to go to states for his medical which is being sponsored by vicharwats .You even let me free from shackles of promises you have set for past 2 years so i could stay away from phi. Phi thanya and you made me give phi bear my silence for 2 years even after knowing the pain he went through because of it. Weren't you the one who asked me not to meet him when he came all the way on his 17th birthday just to spend some moments with me. I took all the insults to keep him in solace but when i look back i feel guilty of leaving his side. I am no one but he is your own kid why mae you can't just once understand him.

Mel: Enough, if i am not saying anything that doesn't mean you are right. Sometimes tough decision are needed to be taken. I did the same that is the reason today mew is top in his sports and academics. On the other hand you are prospering in your business. If this comes to light your career will be doomed so would be mew's. People' will tag you both , you would be hated. So, it's better not to talk on what is right and wrong. You both some day have to marry girls whatever you both had was just infatuation.

Gulf: Mae, i request you to try and understand for once it never was infatuation. We...

Mel cut him in between she knew what he was about to say but that's what they refrained from listening all throughout.

Mel: I think we are up with this topic. Let's not talk on it more. Also, i have transferred 40% shares of lifecare hospitals on your name. Aaron will send the papers to your company address. You being the major shareholder after mew. While other 10% is in my and Ruth's name.

Gulf: You seriously didn't need to do it mae. Phi thanya would be really angry knowing this.

Mel: I know you have invested a lot in Thanya's cafe. Thanya had to agree as she doesn't have any choice. Though this stakes are nothing as compared to the money you have invested in getting her that disputed property and setting up with all legal permissions just because of her kiddish tantrums. She is not repaying you a penny though the cafe is booking profits. Her boyfriend family are really greedy and money minded but she doesn't listen. In future i don't want her to be burdened under your debt so i am giving you these 40% stakes.

Gulf(smiling): I never considered whatever i gave to phi thanya as a loan. It's just a gift for her i never expected her to return. So, I don't want these stakes (mel was about to say but gulf didn't allow and continued) still i know it's about your families respect so i will keep it guarded. Once phi takes over the hospital i will transfer it to him.

Mel: It's our family gulf.

Gulf: Yeah, i always say it's my family but is it even true. When you think of repaying what i invested in my sisters business.

Mel: You are still naive and even if it was mew i would do the same. I don't want any of us to feel burdened so keep the stakes. This would clear Thanya's debt... I do expect you won't use it ever against us or in any case to get mew.

Gulf: Phi Mew isn't that cheap he has lot more value in market then you have put up mae. Do you know about the money por is investing in some alleged business?

Mel: Whatever i don't interfere in his matters anymore.

Gulf: But mae he is in debt other then his stakes and earnings from hospital his accounts are in depreciation. He has also loaned amounts...

Mel: He is an adult and has rights to take his decision we should not think on it. Little handsome you are still young to understand his decisions. Do come home with mew and love before going back? Take it as an request after all i am your mother.

Gulf: Mother, yeah i call you mae just like phi....

Mel: Again being sarcastic i see. Little handsome we may have difference but still we are family.

Gulf: I know you love us, so even if you stand against our relationship i still respect you whole heartedly. I will try and come before i leave Otherwise i would surely call you. Good bye... Good bye little handsome.

He disconnected the call and sat in deep thoughts. "Phi, I just can't take this any more. You have been hurt enough i hope my request to send you to states would be the last thing i would be made to do. It's for your bright future or else i would have never done it. This is also a plan to tear and keep us apart but we need to do it. I am refraining coming close to you therefore whatever i said yesterday night even my confession i would have to prove it fake. I need to tell you everything before you get to know it from someone else."

Gulf also felt helpless because he also wished p' mews success. Moresoever mew always dreamt of being a doctor. Even if gulf had set up an business empire he was still in building stage. He won't be able to fund mew for his studies at initial stage. It was a big amount and with new endeavours and a team to be paid that amount wasn't possible currently as his money was all into investment. Though he could have a lavish life but that won't be long if he didn't roll over his money into business. Mew's career and aspirational goals were high which he wanted to support but the cost his family was asking is too much.

He called his security and team who were all well informed in prior about his place of stay. Also, that he would be staying there for next 2 days before he says anything he heard door being unlocked. Thorn came in the mean time after dropping mew to his University.

Gulf smiled looking at the teasing smile thorn was giving. He was up for all the tease coming his way soon.

Thorn: I hope you had a good night, kiddo.

Gulf: P'thorn you know the answer already i know p' bear's happy face is not hidden from you.

Thorn: Isn't he your khun phi now?

Gulf: Hmmm phi, we should not build high hopes i just spoke to mae. She didn't sound happy about my arrival in Bangkok.

The atmosphere immediately turned gloomy. Nothing was hidden from thorn he knew everything on both the ends. He was only person who was in contact with everyone Ruth, Mel, thanya, Mew, max and Gulf. Gulf had purposely said this because he wanted to know the reason mew decided to be separated. He now was dead sure there are many things that he didn't knew.

Thorn: I suppose you have just woke up. You have your breakfast and get ready. Otherwise your phi bear will hang me if he knows i didn't take care of you.

Gulf: Phi, i am not a small baby.

Thorn: For him you still are. I have confirmed you are free for today so i request you few hours of your day let's have lunch together. Also, your bear has entitled your security until his return.

Gulf: Okay, i will cook. I know you like my cooking.

Thorn: I think you won't need to cook now may be at night. Your boyfie has already done cooking for afternoon.

Gulf: You must be kidding phi doesn't know anything except boiling water and making porridge.

Thorn: Mew is not the one you knew 2 year back he is changed a lot except one thing his possesiveness for you. He still holds the same madness he had years back when he cribbed to have you in our house. He has surely turned handsome and sexy but his eyes always held the same passion for you.

Gulf: He is the best thing happened to me.

Thorn: So, you confirm you are in a relationship?

Gulf: Stop it phi. You know why i am here. If he knows what i am supposed to do he will rather be very angry.

Thorn: He will be angry but i am sure he would understand. I am off would be back in sometime. Do you mind if i get your sis in law for lunch?

Gulf: No not at all i will be happy to meet her. This is your condo i would move after lunch.

Thorn: Nope, you are staying till mew comes back. I am responsible of taking care of you. Okay then see you in sometime.

Saying he left gulf went towards the kitchen he was surprised to see the breakfast prepared and set up for him.

"You are not supposed to have cereals. So, fresh food i have also made lunch and kept in the refrigerator. I have made food for 3 people as p'thorn has his lunch with p'jane in the afternoon at his condo. Avoid packaged foods while you are here be with p'thorn till i return." mew.

Gulf had a pleasant smile knowing how responsible mew had become. How early he must have woke up to cook for him? This small gesture had surely touched his heart. Earlier it was gulf who would cook for him. Arrange his things, his room. It's not that he didn't do it now..Back in house he still preserved smallest thing in mews room. It's been 2 years still that room is Gulf's favorite because it hold's mew fragrance their sweet moment. He has been sane because the tree in the yard still remains giving him the known look otherwise everyone has become distant now.

The old house where mew and gulf stayed after mel separated got abandoned. Ruth hardly comes there, thanya has shifted near to her cafe. Thorn also stays in bangkok so it's only gulf though he has kept servants to look after the house still he himself preserves mew's room.

He had his breakfast then got freshened up and changed into spare clothes that mew had arranged for him before leaving the room which reminded him of their throes of passion they had last night. In the meantime mew called him..

Gulf: Hello phi

Mew: That was Pretty quick just in two rings were you waiting for my call.

Gulf: Waiting nope i was actually going through some work related documents that's when phone rang so i picked it..

He lied but his face was cherry red knowing how well mew knew him. He was indeed thinking about mew.

Mew: (sighing): I thought you were waiting for me i mean my call. Had your breakfast?

Gulf: Yeah i must say you have become a good cook.

Mew: Life teaches you everything.

Mew's voice was deep and laced with sadness gulf just wished to turn the time and change but it wasn't possible..

Gulf: Have you all reached?

Mew: We are still travelling got down for a break very hungry.

Gulf: So, go and eat something.

Mew: I wish to eat you.

Gulf's ear automatically turned red he could imagine everything colourful he had to stop mew. He became hard just hearing mew's sexy voice.

Mew: I mean would be going to eat now.

Gulf: What is this place kind of where you are off to?

Mew: Some kind of mountain with river and jungle around. Heard its naturally very beautiful we would be camping there. It also has a beautiful waterfall at some distance. It's a hill top with small tribal village with them we will be camping.

Gulf: I hope you are not gonna trek with that leg of yours? Keep wound on hand dressed and dry or else you might suffer infection.

Mew: Enough sounds like a doctor giving prescription. I am not sure about trekking may be would go with them and wait below till they return or may be would travel a bit. Just at such place untimely rains are little bothersome. Today since morning climate is cloudy hope things go fine.

Gulf: Phi, I know how much you love trek but not with injuries it can be risky. So, avoid may be you can have some good moments with love enjoying the nature.

Mew: I thought we spoke on this topic yesterday i don't have any relationship with love. So, if you are again dreaming of me getting married to love then please spare me.

Gulf(avoiding the topic): Just take care and don't trouble your injured leg it may aggrevate the pain.

He heard the voice he didn't want to hear from behind.

Love was calling mew "mewwwie, what should i order for you"

Gulf: Oh i think everyone is waiting for you.

Mew: No, it's just me, love and her driver.

Gulf: Why, aren't you travelling with others?

Mew: Actually love has motion sickness so she came in her car and was adamant that we travel together. So, principal sir asked me to help her. Also because of the leg i won't be comfortable to sit in bus for long time.

Love: MmmmEeewwwwiiiee come let's take a picture food has arrived.

She was screaming loudly.

Mew: Honey, i would talk to you later.

The phone got disconnected gulf's face immediately fell. He was not feeling good about it. He decided not to think and just relax but his mind was still going back to love and mew being alone in the car.

P'thorn came back with p'jane for lunch. They gelled up and chatted while having lunch, about family and work. Jane was very down to earth highly educated with modern thinking. She met p'thorn at an event and with few more meets they came together. Gulf knew about Jane but met her for the first time he was very happy for 'thorn.

As Jane had to go back to the company to handle some client meeting in absence of thorn. She left conveying her regards. She hailed from a good family her father owned a small business while her brother was in police. Mae was very happy with this relationship.

Gulf sat by the pool he was constantly checking his phone but there was no call or message from mew. Love had posted some picture with mew. Few were random clicks at restaurants with food pictures. While in one she was feeding mew rather she was stuffing food in his mouth. The one that caught his attention was a insta reel in which mew was sleeping resting head on cars window he looked mesmerising as his hair flew in air. His pectorals were inviting with upper three buttons of his shirt open while love was near his cheek showing her tongue as if about to lick. she posted many pics around mew in car and also at some stoppages that they took. Only relief mew sat in passenger seat while she sat behind. Gulf was lost checking posts when thorn took a seat beside him.

Thorn: Missing phi haan.

He locked his phone and managed to lie...

Gulf (smiled): yeah i really miss you phi.

Thorn: Really, missing me we met every month. I thought you missed your phi bear.

Gulf: Actually

Thorn: I saw you staring at your phone.

Gulf: Phi, i am really unable to understand anything.

Thorn: You have lot of questions isn't it nong?

Gulf just nodded in agreement instead of speaking anything. He sat staring at water while he just allowed his head on shoulder of his elder brother. Thorn knew this was the time to tell everything to gulf.

Thorn: Gulf, you have been through a lot and fought everything. Everyone is not as strong as you they may need support. Understanding you both is not easy for others around but no one can deny that you both understand each other.

My little brother has been through a lot. I have seen his struggles just to fall asleep after mae got him here to bangkok. I stayed with him because he needed me, days were bad nights were worst even if he closed his eyes he could see you calling him. I never saw mew so scared ever he would shiver in fear that you might be needing him.

I refrained from telling about his health, knowing you also were in same situation. Initial days when he called and you didn't reply he settled in listening to your voice through calling max while he spoke with you. Once you got hospitalised is when mew stopped because he couldn't stand that you were going weak because of him. His relief was your night calls when he could listen you breathing or softly snoring whole night holding his phone.

I have heard him singing lullaby to you. I have seen him wiping his tears in silence and also soaking his pillow with tears. (P'Thorns eyes were wet by now). To get him away i use to get him here and we both sat soaking our legs in water in utter silence. He had forgotten to live even breath without you. For a year this went on but he somehow gathered courage because he had to study become able so he can keep you with him forever.

He waited till his next visit to our home just to see you, which happened on his 17th birthday. He asked it as an alm for his birthday wish just one visit. Mae agreed but thanya also tagged along which could not be stopped. You didn't talk to him but he had seen you watching him, wanting to be with him.

Things upturned when he heard how thanya insulted you and then smeared the cake on your face making fun of you. Your conversation with mae when she asked you not to be around mew. Mew knew everything he wanted to hug you console you but you ran away.

Mew wanted to come behind you but dad caught him. That's the first time dad raised hand on mew. He was very angry he spoke rudely with por and being stressed por couldn't handle his behaviour and por hit mew.

Thorn went silent for few seconds as he felt some heaviness in his chest. Painful memories are always associated with discomfort.

Gulf was shocked: Porr slapped phi..

Thorn: Not slapped he literally pulled his skin with belt. But mew being mew he was very stubborn. Por warned him not to ever come back and see you or else he will give your custody back to your family. Mew counter spoke that if they dare to do it he would finish himself. Por kept punishing him till he fainted but didn't approve to por of staying away.

So, por very tactilly said what would mew do if they kept you alive and then hurt you like he had hurt mew. Never did i see por so angry mew agreed to save you then.

I am such a bad brother i couldn't do anything except banging the door when por kept on tearing mew's skin. His complete body was turned red there were patches on his back. Blood oozed out of many, dad hit him like an animal.

Gulf remembered coming to a devastated house after the office annual party. Mew's room was completely wrecked curtains were pulled off, vase broken, books scattered. He never knew what happened there but he thought may be mew in anger just threw things around as habit. Now, his tears found way rolling on his cheeks. Thorn gently hugged him as a little kid he knew it was difficult for him.

Thorn: Mae and thanya doesn't know about this as they left immediately after you went. Mew was at the house as he had flight next day as per Mae's promise. I wished to call and inform you i did but call was picked by max. When we spoke we got on a point that you both were having enough of miseries. Hence that's when we decided not to exchange words about your health or any other matter with each other neither let you both know what was happening. Max made sure you didn't return to house that night.

Still, after being ripped, and with that wounded body and having 103° fever. He pleaded me to just take him to you he just wanted to see you. Taking por's permission giving some lame excuse I got him to your old office, that same day there was some party. I don't know what happened there exactly. Mew was broken terribly crying when i followed his gaze i saw you wrapped in max's arm crying your heart out. Perth and bright were also there consoling you. Then wiping your tears they made you eat one by one. He also witnessed celebration of your success trust me he was very happy. I remember he had also seen you with a girl there who came and hugged you. Mew felt you were secured and didn't need him.

Now he understood why mew gets hyper whenever he sees clara. She is the only girl who ever hugged him. Also, why mew was trying to be back with him because that night his confession spoke volumes for mew about his insecurity and pain. The false image he made in his heart of gulf being safe and contented shattered that night seeing his vulnerable side.

Thorn: Things worsened after he returned he fought with thanya and mae to stop them from interfering in your life. He promised if they did that he won't meet you or go anywhere near you. I think he got successful in it. They were very rude with him and started ignoring him. Things worsened further when thanya would throw away food kept for mew making him starve. Thanya doped mew just to get him out of this football league luckily i got him to doctor because he suffered with severe reaction. Doctors flushed toxins out of his body before getting detected. She was just hurting mew out of her anger as he insulted her for you. He also had tiff with her boyfriend earlier. When mae one day saw him awake, she then kept a watch every night. She checked and knew he was on call with you.

She didn't trust he wasn't talking but just listening to your breath. Thanya went way ahead saying she would ask her boyfriend and his friends to hurt you. That day mew first time raised his hand on phi thanya. He pushed her to the sofa in anger mae slapped mew. Thanya the way she is short tempered she blew the things and told mae and por setting everyone against him.

That night he decided if he can't be with you he won't be with the family too. He wished to be alone instead of being with people who don't want him. I asked him to shift to my condo here but he disagreed..I helped him to get dormitory in school also, vicharwats made sure no one shared room with him.

Then started series of anxiety attacks he was unable to concentrate on study, eat food, sleep or make conversation with people. He refrained to be indulged, just study, football practice, music lessons that became his life. He loved you and he knew that for sure. Everytime he was hospitalized i stayed with him just so that he could sleep. Mae got busy with her new family. Thanya went to stay in a condo close to her self centered boyfriend and his family. Mew was left all alone to grieve and find solace in your silence.

You had max, bright, perth but he was alone. As he couldn't share anything with anyone except you. I came to hospital that day to visit mew late at night while i returned to Bangkok after meeting. I saw you with him it was the first time i saw him sleep so peacefully in 2 years otherwise usually he would be either awake or if he slept would wake up at the drop of hat. Yes, i also remembered how you both slept cuddling each other two years back. I envied you to get love of a person like mew.

May be mew could have got along with alex and lhong but love's constant interference kept him away from everyone. Upon that his coach was troubling him

Gulf: You knew about it? Gulf got his head up and spoke looking at thorn assuring that he knew about it.

Thorn: Yes, i was the one who went with him to file complaint for sexual assault very first time. The coach was a powerful personality as he had played on international level with clear records therefore no action was taken. He was left with just warning but he sent some goons at my office to threaten me. Though i didn't deter but after that mew didn't speak to me about it. So, i thought coach retreated back.

Gulf: When did coach started harassing phi?

Thorn: Around 1 year back he somehow wanted mew. I am really worried for mew and his safety.

Gulf looked at him surprised.

Gulf: Why?

Thorn: Hmmm... (thinking) I have been observing i might be wrong too but i think he is being stalked. Though not harmed yet but still i have a doubt.

Gulf: From when and why do you think so?

Thorn: I just feel because i found some cams secretly installed in his dorm. They were high end pinhole camera's.

Gulf: Did you tell him?

Thorn: No, I couldn't as he was ill then and giving stress wasn't a good idea. As even i wasn't sure about it.

Gulf: Now, coach is in jail anyways may be he was stalking.

Gulf wanted to refrain putting thorn into tension but he was thorn and also his teacher. The one who had got gulf to do business.

Thorn: At first i thought it must the coach because after his incident i found those but it wasn't the case. I got it verified through investigator friend. He was sure mew was being stalked i didn't know whom to tell this. Yes, but coach has some connection with the stalker what no one knows.

Gulf at once stood up...

Thorn: What happened?

Gulf: I need to go...

Thorn: Where??

Gulf: Hmm just some work

Thorn: You would be back for dinner right. You would be cooking tonight.

Gulf: I will just inform you phi.

Thorn: Kiddo, you won't be able to reach the excursion sight as its far and on hill side. Driving at nights on those lanes is risky. Please don't try your luck hard. I won't allow it mew also won't like if you get into trouble.

Gulf looked at thorn but somehow his heart was really unsure. He still didn't had his license so driving at such place would be real risky at night time.

Thorn didn't allow him to leave and at night they both had simple dinner. Gulf had a relaxing day but he was missing mew. Mew called him at night he could hear sounds of songs behind as everyone was enjoying bonfire. Mew was busy with gulf in his tent telling him about the day. They both spoke for a longtime without any disturbance. Love had come down to call mew but he said he want to sleep as he is very tired. Cla has been to the excursion with them.

Mew wanted to sleep as his leg was aching very badly due to all the travel and stuff. Mew seemed indifferent as if he needed someone to console him that nothing was going wrong. He didn't say but gulf guessed may be something had happened.

He requested gulf to sing him a lullaby at first he teased mew and troubled him. He wished to hug mew to sleep but the least he could do was sing him a lullaby. Being tired he slept with phone still connected.

Gulf's mind was at unrest when he received mew's photo from the excursion site on his phone from the stalker's number. There were some pics which didn't make any sense but looked as if mew was in trouble. There were also some photos where love was hugging mew. Gulf felt hurt he wasn't able to take it anymore.

Gulf didn't knew what was gonna happen. He wished he had been there but now it was too late he needed to wait for the morning. He didn't disconnect the call out of fear and kept awake whole night.

Thorn saw him restlessly roaming in the house. He took thorns phone and informed max who also didn't knew what can be done. Till late night they all kept discussing on topic but the person for whom they were worried slept peacefully dreaming about his honey. Thorn fell asleep on the sofa while gulf couldn't even blink his eyes. Everyday was becoming harder with the stalkers shadow looming over mew.

Finally morning knocked in mew's phone got discharged and shut down as he woke up it was still dark but that's when he was going for trekking to catch up with the group later as he would walk slowly. He had informed his professor about it he just got freshened up and left. Mew left early so he thought not to trouble gulf but here they got scared. He really wanted to trekk but knew gulf won't allow knowing his leg so he hided. Therefore he left early so he can be back early without much hassle and catch up with team later. Signals being weak in mountains it was difficult to connect. Gulf called cla to know about mew. She was excited seeing his call. She blushed profusely when he just said a hello

Gulf: Hello cla

Cla: Yeah, you missed me so much.

Gulf (frustrated): Claa

Cla: Sorry i was tired after traveling then setting up tent, your phi is really a sweet person he helped me cook with others, i couldn't dance at camp fire because i was drowsy. Also, the incident with your phi got us all scared. Don't be angry na.

Gulf: Hold on what happened with phi?

His heart started to throb against his chest. He knew it was not as simple as she said...

Cla: He was about to be bitten by a snake.

Gulf: What??

Cla: Why are you screaming? He wasn't bitten. It was a russel wiper but seemed weired as they are not found in this place. After a villager caught that one we didn't observe any snakes around rather the guide told us snakes don't have habitat around this place. Can't say it is a jungle after all.

Gulf remembered all the pics and one's in which mew was looking down scared. It wasn't clear because of darkness. Now, he knew what was it all about. That stalker was there then mew was surely in danger.

Gulf: can you tell me where is phi mew?

Cla: He have left for trekking... oops it's late i also have to move talk to you later love..

Gulf: Cla...Cla.. Listenn.. arrrggh you idiot

he was shouting on phone which no one heard on other end.

Thorn(raising an eyebrow): What's wrong?

Gulf immediately dialled to the principal informing his plans to go to excursion site. He took the address and thorn offered to drop him. He asked his guards to follow in other cars.

Thorn: Kiddo, i think you should take a nap you haven't slept whole night.

As he close his eyes he had a vision his body tensed up and started sweating. He couldn't see anything just darkness and mew calling his name. He observed some debris around with large rocks falling around. He opened his eyes breathing heavily. Thorn looked at him

Thorn: Are you okay?

Gulf: Yes, phi just.... Nothing...

Thorn: Kiddo, we need not go to the excursion site. It's just matter of a day tommorrow they would be returning.

Gulf: I have to phi... What's up with you phi?

Thorn: I agree with max kiddo. You are a public figure your appearances would disturb your image and also give rise to many questions.

Gulf's phone rang it was max he asked him to check news.

"Gulf Kanawut the Asia's youngest business enterpreneur in Bangkok".. headlines were flooded with his appearance in Bangkok with varied pics being circulated.

According to latest news he is here for University's annual meet. After attending the football tournament and giving a powerful speech. He would also be joining their event as guest of honour.
On the honorary note he would also be encouraging the budding business aspirants. There is air that MG is expanding in Bangkok with trending fashion apparels.

Gulf shut the news and called max back.

Gulf: What do you think i should do with this news?

Max: Be safe and don't fall between the media before event. I don't want you to answer there unwanted questions and fall in more trouble.

Gulf: Okay..

He disconnected the call looking outside. He wasn't gonna listen to max.

----------------------+-------------------+-------------------
Jerry, get me some coffee this kitten has not allowed me to sleep worrying whole night. I am sure the next whole day he would keep me on edge.

Max was in his cabin with his father and Jim discussing something in his father's office as they had some meetings.
A big Tv screen displayed news. An headline Caught his attention.

Morning News:
The much talked about excursion site in north Thailand has experienced some unnatural climatic issues. Due to untimely rains since morning there has been landslide. No casualities are reported as a team of students from university has come yesterday. One of the student is said to have got trapped in landslide while trekking. Others were stopped before they crossed the danger site.

Max: Shit, kitten

Rush : What happened to chi?

Max: He was about to go to this excursion site as he told me.

Rush: stop chi from going to the excursion site.

Max knew it was of no use still he decided to try.

Max: Kitten, where are you?

Gulf: Why are you gonna join me?

Max: Kitten, don't play just tell me.

Gulf: I am going to the excursion.

Max(calmly): Get back to bangkok you are not going anywhere.

Gulf cut the call and max called thorn he halted the car with sudden break. Gulf raised an eyebrow and called max again knowing he won't allow phi thorn to help.

Gulf: Max, stop trying my patience. I would go there.

Max: Kitten, it isn't safe there are loads of news reporters there. Place is not safe try not to invite dangers. Moreover mew is safe that stalker won't be there around.

Rush nattapol raised an eyebrow hearing stalker. Max paled he knew things aren't gonna be good.

Gulf: What do you mean?

Thorn showed gulf the news.

Gulf: Shit, phi hurry we need to go phi bear is in trouble.

Max: There are many people and also rescue rangers. You don't have to go and be a hero stay where you are.

Gulf: If you both are gonna act like this i will drive and go myself.

Max: Kitten, you don't have a license if you are caught it would be issue.

Gulf: I am sure you all would get me out.

Max: Kitten, mew would be safe there is only one student trapped.

Gulf: Right, and it's bear because he was the only one who left for trekking early in the morning.

Max: Then aunty, uncle, vicharwats all will be there. I know you don't want to face them.

Gulf: I am going it doesn't matter who is there and who is not.

He disconnected the call max was sitting still thinking he decided to go and speak to his father about it. He left the room towards his cabin in middle of the conversation. He entered a big lavish cabin but it was empty when nattapols secretary informed he was in visitors room. He went there and what he heard their made him jerk in shock. Few men were talking to his father who was on call with some other person on his personal phone. They were all on call while his fathers head hitman and right hand man stood infront.

"Boss, Yesterday night we had put the snake but he got saved because the girls around raised alarm.

Early morning we followed him and while coming back we got him hurt by getting his injured leg stuck in rope tied across trees. He thought it might be hunters trap for animal but before he planned the returned we got him stuck up by making a fake landslide".

Things got worse because of rain though it was less intensity blast it became a huge mess.

Everything was made to look natural no one would think about any plans in this.

Nattapol: Did you hear it?

"I think its time to talk i love to play with that kid..Soon he would beg me for saving his loved one that's when i will make him kneel infront of me..." Said a man on phone with a wicked laugh echoing.

Max: You insane stalker.

Person: Ohh the prince Maxwell nattapol.

Rush: Stop max

Max: You bastard

Person (laughing): You love him isn't it. You are also included in this plan knowingly or unknowingly so stay shut or else i will make him stand against you.

The phone was cut...

Max: You freaking ... Por, why you did this?

He asked looking at his father with unbelievable expression.

-------+++++++---------------++++++++++--------

Thorn also got the call from principal as they were unable to reach his parents. Gulf and thorn reached the excursion site full of reporter's. As soon as gulf stepped out there was commotion between reporters to get his byte. Luckily his guards were present as he walked ahead cla came running seeing him and hugged him.

All the reporters clicked there pic but weren't able to get proper view as he was hidden behind the car. He separated from cla and made her aside consoling. Gulf reached the principal who told him mew was stuck just on the otherside. He wasn't in mood of talking now he could just wish for mew to come back safely.

Love was crying holding a man gulf knew who it was the other person behind them looked very familiar too. As he turned gulf had a big peaceful smile. Bright was there with Mr vicharwat comforting his daughter. Bright hugged gulf knowing how much he would be disturbed.

Bright: Chirpy, don't worry he would be fine. Love told he was just a few meters away when the debris fell nothing to worry once the debris are moved he will be around.

All the students were sent back 🙄 Even police requested reporters and other faculty members to go. Gulf decided to wait so did thorn and bright. Most of the debris was removed still there was no news of mew. It had started raining heavily disrupting further work. Soon it was gonna be evening and they would stop the work.

Bright: I think we must go and wait near other people or at the village. It's going to be evening soon and not safe to be here with frequent landslides, let the car be here. They for the whole day had seen rocks falling as the team cleared things kept on turning more bad.

Bright: Chirpy you didn't eat anything accept water let's go and grab something to eat. At least have the snacks i got.

Bright and thorn had taken breaks went towards the village and come back. As university sent all the students back. Cla went with love as Mr vicharwat and principal requested her.

Gulf: He must also be starving whole day. He is already injured how he might be coping up.

They somehow were trying to make gulf understand who adamantly stuck where he stood. There was quick moments on the site as rescue rangers had caught site of mew who walked from other side. Gulf ran towards him but before he or other rangers reacted piece of land on which mew stood crumpled down. Mew slipped along with mud and water from the cliff edge which was slippery due to sticky mud. Bright and thorn both held gulf from going ahead it was a horrible site.

Gulf: Phi bear...

He screamed but he didn't hear anything in return. Rescue rangers were trying to use lights to get view below but it was difficult. The mountain was quite steep and if mew slipped at the bottom they won't be able to find him till morning. There was a glitch created between the road. Gulf screamed and tried to move but thorn held him tight. Finally he heard the voice which was very low but enough to give life to gulf.

Mew: Honey...

That faint voice gave relief to gulf. He bent slightly while bright and thorn still held him tight and saw mew but due to rains it was difficult to pull him up. Mew was dangling his one hand holding god knows what. The team with efforts pulled up mew. He was smeared with red mud drenched in rain his leg looked bad. As he surfaced he was weak with all the efforts he took whole day starving and drenching in rain. He was about to fall on his kneew but gulf immediately hugged him with all his might supporting his body.

Mew: Why are you drenching in rain? You would catch cold.

Gulf: You really have guts to ask that. Look at yourself 😛.

He wasn't scolding rather his voice was concerned.

Gulf: (turning to bright) Can you inform principal and everyone else phi is fine? I am taking him with me.

Thorn was about to walk towards the car when he saw his mother and father standing infront looking at gulf who was hugging mew dearly. He didn't see them as he was facing mew and his back faced them. Mew was almost hanging on gulf's shoulder his eyes were closed.

Thorn: Mae... por... Mew needs..

Mel showed him hand but this had caught gulfs ear he was sure about their presence behind.

Mel: Mew, get in the car let me check you.

Mew didn't deter he hardly had any energy left for argument. He just hugged gulf a bit more tighter.

Ruth(shouted): Mew, didn't you listen to your mother. Do you wish to see the consequences?
Gulf, you need to go reporters are still around and also Mr.vicharwat.

Mew was already cold his body shivered with breeze and heart raced due to his father's loud voice. He was not in sense his leg and other wounds were killing but he was conflicted what would gulf do will he leave him to his parents.

Gulf: Bright can you just help hold phi while p' thorn starts the car.

Bright took his hand around shoulder to hold him while thorn walked away towards the car. Mew buckled as he couldn't hold straight on single support. Gulf supported mew from other side and walked as he came near their parents he raised his eyes staring directly in Mr. Suppasit's eyes. He was enraged with this man he had hit his phi. Now, was again threatening him.

Gulf: (loud and stern voice): I am taking phi bear with me he needs me and I won't do the mistake i did earlier. I always ran from him just because i respected your decisions but i would now hold his hands respecting his decision.

Ruth: You will regret this.

Mew: Por, enough if you wish you can take out your anger on me let him be.

Gulf: Dare you ever touch phi again. You are my father but if you touch him i would forget about it.

Tears streamed down mews eyes out of happiness knowing gulf won't leave him to anyone. Gulf was holding mew dearly.

Mel: Little handsome, if reporter's or Mr vicharwat knows it won't be good for mew and you.

Gulf: Mae, currently this discussion when he needs doctors attention is also not good.

Ruth: Mel, we need to stop them.

Gulf left with mew and p'thorn while bright informed others and reporters that mew was rescued and sent home with his brother.
