Right after Shine and Gulf get inside their own rooms, Alex goes to his office inside the library of their house then he called Mew. He had to explain.

After a few rings, Mew picked up.

"I'm sorry if I have to say those words."

Alex squint his eyes. Saying sorry is not in his vocabulary but for Gulf and for his future grandchild, he is willing to change.

He already waste long time.

The line was just silent. Mew on the other side was stunned.

He didn't expect Alex to call him just to apologize.

"Mew? Are you there?"

"Ahh.. Yes, pardon?" Mew wasn't sure if he heard him right.

"I said I'm sorry for what I did."

"Oh.. It's okay.. I know that was all staged, I saw one of your guards taking video so I didn't act weird."

"Just wait for the issue to lie low so you can be with Gulf again, I don't want him sad especially he is pregnant."

"What made you change? I mean, that came out wrong.. Ahmm.. Yeah." Mew scratch his nape even Alex can't see him.

"I am doing this for Gulf. Ever since he was a child I didn't gave him affection that he needs, I want to give it now to him and to your child.. How about you? Still holding a grudge for me?" Alex ask him, he felt weird talking about this in the phone.

"I think, It's nothing now.. I can't keep on hating you where in fact you are not at fault. My father chose to hurt me than to face you.. I dont want to be like him. And if it was not for you.. I won't have Gulf and our baby now." Mew said wholeheartedly.

"Thank you... About the spreading of the rumors. My staffs will be alert to find those who spread the news."

"It's okay.. I have a request Sir.."

"Call me Dad, as Gulf was already calling your Mama his Mama."

Mew smiled bit. "Fine Dad.. I want you to take care of Gulf for me.. I'll fix myself, my face.. Everything.. Just promise that after 2 weeks you will take Mama and Gulf to my new Island resort in Japan I'll send you the coordinates. I'll see you there."

"Okay... See you. Take care."

"I will Dad.. See you when I see you."

That's the last conversation that they had, because in 2 weeks Mew didn't call. Alex didn't attempt to call him also.

Within that 2 weeks, they found out who spread the rumors and she's not yet aware, Alex messaged the management of the Radio station, and they will file law suit for her and that is enough for Alex already.

One afternoon,

Alex ordered Turbo to pack his clothes and Gulf's things because they are leaving.

Shine, who doesn't have any idea keep on opposing his plans.

"What If my Son will come back and we are not here?! I'm not going anywhere."

Alex shushed her up.

"Babe, shut up and listen.. This is all Mew's idea."

"Really?! Okay.. I'll pack our clothes." Shine happily prepared while Gulf still wallow in sadness. He barely eat. But he's pushing on for his baby.

2 weeks had passed and no shadow of Mew's come back. He felt really really sad. He miss him already, so much...

"Does your Papa misses us? He did not think of coming back as he promised." Gulf just rubbed his swollen belly, while his baby is subtly moving, he took it as a response.

Gulf smiled a bit.

"You miss Papa too? I bet you miss him singing for you huh little bean, well even me.. I miss him so much..." he keep on talking to his unborn baby, his OB said that talking to the baby while still in the womb will strengthen the bond between them.

"Young master, we need to leave, all is set." Turbo came inside his room.

Gulf just nodded. he didn't opposed. He is tired. Mew will look for him if ever he cant find him here.

They left Thailand and Gulf was surprised when their private plane landed in Narita Airport Japan.

How will Mew find them? This is quite far.

Then, a service car get them and after a long trip, they arrive in a beautiful beach resort.

"Sea breeze is good for pregnants," Shine said while they get inside the entrance.

The staff greeted them.

"Welcome to G—"

Alex glared at him. He should not say the name of the resort.

The staff take that as a signal, he cleared his throat.

"Welcome to our resort, have a good stay.."

Some staff help them and they took them to a huge cottage, with full amenities.

Gulf cant appreciate everything. His mind was filled with worry and longing on Mew.

That night, he chose to walk on the beach.. He's wearing a thick jacket and an oversize shirt he walk carelessly and every time the waves meet the shore, his feet will get wet. He remove his slippers and He felt the warmth of sand on his feet.

Then from a far, he heard someone strumming a guitar... And a bonfire.

Curiosity hit Gulf and he followed the music.

🎶Another day without your smile

Another day just passes by

And now I know

How much it means

For you to stay right here with me

The time we spent apart

Will make our love grow stronger

But it hurts so bad

I can't take it any longer🎶

Gulf knew that voice.

🎶I wanna grow old with you

I wanna die lying in your arms

I wanna grow old with you

I wanna be looking in your eyes

I wanna be there for you

Sharing in everything you do

I wanna grow old with you🎶

He walks faster and he found the man playing the guitar, his back facing him. His familiar back.

His tears falls non stop.

Gulf muffled his sobs, then his mouth agape when Mew face him.

🎶Things can come and go

I know but

Baby I believe

Something's burning strong between us

Makes it clear to me🎶

Mew's face is now scar-free, he looks flawless, handsome, above gorgeous. He smiled a bit to Gulf and he continued singing.

🎶I wanna grow old with you

I wanna die lying in your arms

I wanna grow old with you

I wanna be looking in your eyes

I wanna be there for you

Sharing in everything you do

I wanna grow old with you🎶

Mew look at his very pregnant baby. Gulf's nose is very red. And he is crying hard. He drop his guitar on the sand. And walk towards Gulf.

"Baby .. Sorry for taking so long on coming back. I fixed my self. What's the use of punishing my self when I have the reason to move on and be happy.. You and our baby are the reason of my happiness.." He raised his hand and Gulf reach it.

He pulled Gulf for a hug.

While the latter cried on his chest.

"I-i miss you so much Hon.. I-i thought you already F-forget us.. I thought you realized that you didn't really love me that's why you didn't came back.. I waited each day.."

"Hush now.. I'm here.. I am back.. Hey baby," Mew held his face with both hands, drying his tears. Their forehead touched.

" I wont go away again.. I planned to stay with you forever if I can.. I want to count our gray hairs together, I want us to compete on who will have wrinkles more.. I want to carry you when your Arthritis hurts, I wanna be with you until the end." Mew let go of him, and He get something on his pocket. A black velvet box.

He kneeled in one knee.

They are beside the bonfire. The moonlight makes the diamond studded ring shines, as Mew opened the box.

"I wanna grow old with you.. Please allow me to marry you Baby." He said, Gulf covers his mouth and he cried again. How dare this man came back and surprised him like this. But he don't want to ruin the moment.

He held out his hand.

"Yes hon.. of course.." he crooked. And he nodded many times.

Mew slid the ring on his finger. Then he stand up.

Gulf hold Mew's face. He is not used of looking at him without scars. He drop a kiss on his lips.

"I love you Hon."

"I love you too Baby.. So fucking much, it was fixed and never be changed. Let's grow old together." Mew hugged him again.

Gulf happily laid his chin on Mew's shoulder.

"Let's grow old together Hon.."
