"Dear! Don't you think it's very soon? How can we arrange a marriage in one day?" Gulf's father asked.
"No need to arrange anything. We both are here with each other. We'll just contact a priest and officiate our marriage. We are not into any grand wedding." Gulf said.
"But Son, what about relatives? What they will say? That this old man didn't even spend a peny in his Son's marriage."
Before Gulf could say anything his mother started shouting.
"Yes. Those relatives who never come when we need help or something. Gulf! Son, do what you like okay! If you want the marriage tomorrow, then it's going to be tomorrow. We will be there till 8." And she ended the call.
Gulf was so excited. It was cold and he was on roof so he quickly went downstairs. He opened his room's door and got more happy to see Mew.
" What did they said? " Mew asked.
"There's no problem. They will be here at 8 tonight." Gulf happily said.
"That's great! I can't wait sweetheart!" Mew said and hugged him.
"I can't wait too. But we have to. At least for few hours." Gulf ruffled his hairs.
"Ahem ahem! What's going on here? You can't sleep here Mew. Get out!" Mild entered and Boat and Henry were standing at the door smiling.
"Hey! Manners less person. Don't you know you should knock first and then enter. And why can't he sleep here?" Gulf turned to Mild and Mew back hugged him.
"You two really made us worried. So its a punishment for both of you. Sleep together after getting married tomorrow. Till that you guys have to follow our orders. Mew come out!" Boat said.
"Aow! But I want to sleep here. Henry say something to your boyfie na!" Mew pouted.
After they had dinner, Henry and Mild disclosed their relationship and everyone got so happy. Now that everyone knows about them, they are very open about their love.
"No brother. You should come out. My Mild is saying right things! Lets go to our home." Henry proudly said. Mild gave him a toothy smile and turned to Mew.
"Now now, Let him sleep. Go out!" Mild pulled him lightly.
"Ah! Okay okay. But let me hug my boyfriend for the last time na" Mew whined and everyone got confused.
"Huh? Last time?" Gulf asked.
"Yes. Cuz after this night you'll be my husband." Mew winked at him.
Gulf hugged him to hide his blush.
"Let me see those red cheeks of yours baby" Mew teased.
"See it tomorrow whole night. Come out now. We have to sleep too." Mild pulled him and closed the door.
Gulf was left alone in the room. He was nervous. Then suddenly Mild entered.
"I'm here dude. Don't think too much. Everything will be fine tomorrow." Mild genuinely said.
"Aren't you gonna sleep with Henry?" Gulf asked.
"I can sacrifice my love for one night. I know you need someone to talk." Mild put his hand on chest dramatically.
"Drama queen! Well, yes I'm really nervous." Gulf sat on the bed.
"Don't be. Take a good sleep or you'll look horrible at youe own wedding! We will settle your parents when they will come. You should rest now." Mild said.
"But it's too early. Can't I talk to Mew?"
"NO! You can't. Sleep without any further questions!" And Mild switch off the lights.
------------------------------------------
The next day...
"Mom! Please look at me! Is it fine?" Gulf asked for nth time to his mother.
"I've already told you for million of times that you're looking handsome. Why are you asking again and again?"
"Cuz I want to look perfect for my only marriage!" Gulf fixed his tie in the mirror.
"For marriage or for husband?" Mild teased him.
"And who are you texting to?" Gulf raised a brow.
"Henry of course. He's saying that Mew is very silent today which means he's really nervous. Hahah your silent husband" Mild teased again and Gulf threw a pillow on him.
"Stop fighting you kids. You're going to get married and look at you." Then her mother turned to Mild "And you've a boyfriend for god's sake. Please act mature!"
They both looked at each other and started laughing.
"Why this marriage is at their house? Why not our house?" Gulf's father entered.
"Cuz they have a bigger out area." Gulf replied.
"But you both said only family members are included so what's the need of big area?"
"Dad. At least for good pictures. Its my only wedding. Please!" Gulf took the flowers and looked into the mirror again. "I'm looking good, right?"
"Yesssss!!!!!" Everyone said in unison.
"Okay okay. Stop getting irritate!"
"Hey! Mew is ready! If you're too then let's go!" Mild stood up.
Gulf took a deep breath. "Yeah. Lets - let's go!"
"Don't be nervous Son. You're doing good!" His mother hugged him.
-------------------------------------
At Mew's house...
"Hey Mew. You're sweating continuously. Stop being nervous. You've met Gulf numerous times." Henry said while wiping his sweat.
"I know. But its a wedding. You'll know my condition when you'll get married!" Mew said.
Henry blushed a little. "Okay okay. See whose car is that?" He pointed to the car who was coming to their direction.
"Gulf is here!" Mew exclaimed.
The car stopped and Mild came out. Mew could see Gulf fixing his clothes from the car window.
Mew's father also went to receive Gulf's parents.
"So....ladies and gentlemen!!! Here's the bride!" Mild swayed his hands towards Gulf.
Gulf smacked his head. "Who are you calling bride to? See I'm a groom!"
"You're looking so adorable Son." Mew's father said to Gulf.
"Sir. Uhhh....I wanted to ask you for your forgiveness if you-"
"No need to remember the past. Just keep my Son happy and everything is fine." He smiled. "Let's go!"
Gulf hold the flowers in his hand tightly and started walking.
"I opened my eyes this morning and the world seemed to have changed
The alarm I set woke me up like any other day"
Gulf stopped for a second after hearing the music. It was Mew's voice. Gulf never told Mew that he loves to listen songs but Mew was smart enough to know plus he sang his favourite song. Gulf's saw his soon to be husband with blurred vision.
You were still sleeping, you probably didn't know what I was thinking
I let you have sweet dreams
His husband was giving him a 'Did you like it?' expression. So he smiled brightly.
For Mew, a smiling Gulf with tears of happiness in his eyes was perfect. He was getting impatient second by second as he could see Gulf walking towards him.
I thought about when we made eye contact and didn't have to say a word
The look in your eyes told me that we were in love
Do you feel the same as I do about those good times?
Should I keep them in, or should I tell you?
Gulf looked at Mew suddenly. He knew what the next lyrics were. Mew started lip sync with the song. Gulf was close to him now.
That I want you to be my last
The person who's with me with every breath I take
I won't make you sad, sad
Do you hear me, darling?
Just hold me tight and never let go...
"Just hold me tight and never let go" Mew whispered the last line to the person standing in front of him.
Gulf was so mesmerized by the surprise.
"The couple can take the vows" The priest said.
"I'll take first!" Gulf said and wiped his tears.
"Thank you for loving me as I am and taking me into your heart. I promise to be true to you in good times, in sickness and in health. I will love and honor you all the days of my life. I promise to support you and give the rest of life to you. I promise to double your happiness. If you grow weak, I'll be there to fight your battle for you. I'll help you with your responsibilities and make your problems my own in order to spread the weight a bit more evenly.
If you have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, I'll be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you.
" Gulf held Mew's hands. "And I promise to never let go your hands. I Gulf Kanawut take you Mew Suppasit to be my husband." And Gulf took a box from his pocket. He took the ring from it and slide it to Mew's finger while looking at him.
Mew felt like he won the world. He cleared his throat.
" Gulf, I love you. You have brought such joy to my life. I promise to walk by your side forever and to love, help, and encourage you in all that you do. I will take the time to talk to you to listen to you and to care for you. Through all the changes of our lives, I will be there for you always as strength in need, a comfort in sorrow, a counselor in difficulty, and a companion in joy. Everything I am and everything I have is yours now and forevermore. This is my promise to you. Mew took out the ring and slid it into Gulf's finger.
"I give you this ring. Wear it with love and joy. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. I choose you to be my husband this day and forevermore.
"Gulf my friend! I'm so happy for you."
Mild said.
"Me too." Boat added.
"Welcome to the family partner." Henry cheered. "
" Now now the most waited ceremony!"
Mild said.
"I officially announce both of you as husbands. You may kiss each other now." Priest announced.
Gulf was a bit shy. But Mew was confidently looking at him.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" All the three started shouting.
Gulf looked at his friends and then turned to Mew.
"May I? Now." Mew asked and Gulf nodded.
Mew kissed him. They could hear the screams and whistles. Mew broke the kiss and they parted.
"No! We're not done yet. Mew kissed but what about you Gulf? Kiss back!" Henry pointed his finger on Gulf.
"Yes. He's right. Kiss back. Kiss back. Kiss back." Mild and Boat added.
Mew looked at Gulf and smiled. Gulf pulled Mew and kissed him full on his lips. It was one of the best moment for both of them. They parted and smiled.
"Let's live together for long long and long time na" Mew said and Gulf nodded.
"Let's go for the group picture." Boat shouted while running. Mild and Henry followed him.
"Take the couple with you, you bunch of idiots." Gulf's mother called them.
"Let them come by there on. Right Sons?" Mew's father said.
Everyone left. They were slowly walking towards the photo session area. They reached and saw everyone was waiting for them.
"Mew let's go fast they all are waiting for us!" Gulf pulled Mew.
They posed at the centre will all the family members besides them.
"...And I Waited For You!" Mew whispered in Gulf's ear. Gulf turned to him and smiled.
