Mew Suppasit, 25 year old owns his own company. Who is not only a rich CEO but very sweet, soft and man of few words. All throughout his life he lived as per his mother. She separated from his father when he was just 7 years old. Getting complete custody of mew not allowing his father to meet him ever. He obliged to whatever she said as an ideal son because he owed her. Working hard he made his own identity away from his mother's shadow while he graduated and even post graduated with honors. Just to forget his loneliness he dipped himself first in studies, then in work and now finally into drinks. He isn't an alcoholic but drank every night so that he could sleep. Mew never crossed his limits with drink when in business parties.

A year back at one such night in a party while his best friend P'boat left with his wife p'Yatch to hit the dance floor leaving seat beside him empty. He slumped on the sofa sipping on his drink alone in a dark corner away from the chaos separated by a glass.

The party was held in best lounge where only aristrocrat kids were welcome. This surely was a super expensive affair as it was Kanawuts not a single businessman missed it. It was on occasion of Mr. kanawuts young kids birthday who turned 20. Mew had not met the birthday boy as he arrived late. P yatch and p boat were invited by the kids mother as they had met in hospital. Gifts and bouquets were just not allowed inside. It was all to be placed in a room at the entrance. Nothing to do his eyes wandered around falling on another young boy who twinned in similar colour clothes with him. The boy was full of life, cheerful and swaying like a delicate flower along with the music. While mew's eyes were just devoid of emotions the boys eyes sparkled with excitement. Grooving to the music his perfect curvature got mew gulp his own saliva. He did a bodywave with his lip pursing under his teeth while singing on the mike his friends and all people around cheered for him. His open V red shirt with loose pants gave view to his lean body. Everytime he blew air to remove the curls that settled on his forehead made him look like a cute baby.

Being tired the boy came and dropped besides mew. Mew turned his head just staring lovingly at the cute soul besides. He was fair, his lips were glossy red as lush sweet raspberry. His red cheeks shone in that little light while his chest dipped as he breathed heavily. He was drunk moving his head about he didn't find comfort so finally he leaned on mew's shoulder while the later went stiff in his seat as his heart was about to jump out.

"Phi i love your smell, its addictive" said the boy.

Such a tease this young kid was. Though they looked like having little age difference but the younger was really a kid in behaviour.

"Can i hmmm just be close to you?" That low voice was laced with sadness..

That kid was searching solace... Why?? was he sacred of anything?

Mew just scooted little bit closer to make the kid comfortably clinge on to him. A sweet smile curved on the kids lips who was still drinking from the glass of strong drink in his hand. Another boy of similar age approached and looked at mew with those angry eyes giving attitude.

Looked like some rich brat he isn't happy looking at this kid sticking to me so close. He held the young ones hand tight which had his drink and tried to pull him. The kid didn't move or raise his head he was still clunged to my chest.

Glass fell from his hand on the carpet below some drink splashed on his and my shoes but i felt he was struggling to get his hand out of the grip. He let a shrill cry due to pain. Anger rose in me i held him close winding my arm around and moved a bit at the edge of sofa, kicking on the knee of the boy who stood infront. Making him loosen the grip and kneel on the floor.

"Get lost, before i beat the shit out of you" I said in low but enraged tone looking straight into his eyes..

The other boy stood up dusted his jacket and left pointing his finger on my face as if telling he will not leave me. As if i cared about such dumbasses.

"You sound more sexy in that enraged voice" I slightly pushed myself comfortably on the sofa and looked at the kid who was stuck to my chest smiling. I don't even know if he would remember anything once the alcohol wears off.

He hurt me said the kid in soft voice showing me the wrist which had turned red due to harsh grip. I really felt pained, i held his hand gently and bought it near my lips leaving a sweet kiss as if it was some kind of healing balm. I was behaving like love sick dog but at that moment i felt it was what needs to be done.

After sharing few drinks the kid went completely tipsy turvy and started being clingy. He grazed into mew's nape making the later hard in his pants. It was like current passing through mew's body when the boy sipped his drink allowing a cube of ice in his mouth. Then he leaned and captured mew's lip playing with the ice cube making his body experience chill. He pushed the ice cube in mew's mouth then with his tongue explored corners of mews mouth. There tongues swirled while hands found way into the back of his neck.

Mew shivered with this proximity but felt undeniably good. His initial experiences with sexual proximity were very bad but this kiss was like a bliss. Though he never thought about sex currently his hormones were pushing him. The kid moved his hand along mew's hands stopping at his bracelet. His finger stuck his eyes followed his hand and he removed it.

Till mew could react or pull him close reciprocate to the kiss he separated and looked into mew's eyes with longing. May be he felt mew wasn't reciprocating or just realised he was with a stranger. Mew just wanted to hug and tell him he was here for him. Boys palm softly travelled on mew's cheeks when his eyes changed all the desire flew away. It was more kind of indescribable emotion. May be he was over drunk his hands moved from mews face into his lap. As he separated and sat stiff with a cute pout.

Suddenly he was pulled by the host of the party Mr Kanawut who was dressed in a perfect formal business suit. Still that happy soul unhappy of loss of touch gave a cute pout making mew's eyes travel on his shining plump lips. His glossy lips were inviting and mew wanted to pull that boy in his lap. How he craved to conceal him in his arms forever?

"Damn, those men drugged you prince" said the man in perfect suit.

"Thanks" Mr Kanawut said with gratitude looking at mew before dragging him along. The boy still danced his way out of the party. Leaving a lingering feeling on mew's heart.

This encounter made mew doubt his feelings. Lot of research and brain storming went in to realise of his sexual preference. It was just an unguarded action so mew decided to forget the incident but he didn't forget to take expert advice on this. He didn't knew the storm this would get in his life.

Mew had his own take on this incident but he never shared with anyone.

(++++--++++++++++++!--------+++------+++------++++-------+++------+++-------

Few days later....

He consulted his best friends who were his family and happiness same week after he attended the party. His best brother from another mother Zee pruk sat across the table while other person had still not arrived. It was lazy weekend and they were at mew's condo it was their usual routine.

Bro, you are telling me you don't know his name?
neither who he was?
Also, whether he likes or just played you?
Neither you have his pics?
You are not sure about his sexual preference?
Not a single information is with you.

You want me to search and get him away from the boy who tried to take him away from you. Rather you want me to guard him"

'Yes, but probably i said he might be some way related to Mr Kanawut...said mew

Huh, do you even hear yourself? Mr Kanawut you know what kind of a man he is.

Mr Kanawut was shark in sea of business has high image in society. He hardly might know small fishes like mew closely. On business front mew's company is the only company whom he invested when it was new in the market because he is reknowned to invest only in established companies. Zee and mew both were surprised but happy because that was one of the reason people trusted such newbies in business garnering fame in very less time. Mr. Kanawut is out of league for mew.

Mew: I said a probability he just took him along but i felt the kid was safe with him.

Zee: What do you think of me some cheap detective?

"I know you can do it prick" said bright who just entered...

Hey winnies boyfie"

Stop calling me that you prick

Then you mind it's pruk and not prick... Said zee hissing in anger.

Stop it p'bright and p'zee or else i will call your boyfies and let them know your secrets so you would be sleeping in lawn tonight. Then use them for my support, said mew like he meant it

No.... Both said in fear

Mew knew their weakness but he also knew they both loved their boyfriends a lot. There were no secrets between boys it's just mew's way of teasing them. Also, they knew if their boyfies knew that they didn't help mew or were bickering they would surely throw them out.

"Okay i will do it" said zee

"I miss phi yatch. She called me yesterday and said we may get good news in one or 2 days." Said mew

Zee's phone rang...

Guys, yatch is in labours we need to rush... Zee said looking at bright and mew . They both smiled wide before rushing behind grabbing car keys...

---++!!-+-;;;;!!;;--;++!---;;;+++;;;++++++----++-----++---+++-----+++---++------

In few week's

Zee like a good brother had got all the information for mew. He was a guarded kid so it wasn't a child's play to pursue him. Young lad was a prince his family uber rich and super possessive about the kid. Not to forget his mother was deputy general of FBI. Mew just wanted a year to achieve his goals and then he would talk about it to everyone. For now he kept the chapter closed but in his heart.

---------++++++------+++++-----+++++++++++-----++++---+----++++++-+++-++-------++----
A year later

Before mew decided to tell his mae about his sexual preference he decided to talk to his friends first. In this year the boy wasn't a topic of discussion as mew avoided and none forced him.

Not to mention mew being the youngest was the loved angel of the group. Everyone had their own story with him and he kept them binded.

"Are you sure about telling aunty about you being into men?" asked yatch who came with her little daughter mia in her arms and sat next to mew.

Mew took cute mia from her arms kissing her cheeks and said "It's better to do it now because she is sorting alliances for me"

"Oh, i know isn't it that ugly Rain Rangron" said yatch rolling her eyes.

"You better not marry her she is not a good person" said boat who entered with his glass and settled beside yatch.

Ya, she is just works on profit and loss devoid of sensitive emotions. Said yatch...

"I would never allow it to happen. He will marry only the person he loves or wishes to be with" said zee in a determined voice.

Aunt, can't keep on dominating your life.. Added bright

"I think aunt also has her own reasons." Said win gaining glare from everyone.

Whatever it is mew your decision will be final. Zee interfered his possesiveness at peak.

What about the boy you had met in party a year back? asked zee out of the blue.

Never thought about it.. mew said and sipped on his drink

"Liar" zee said to himself softly but got glare from mew who slightly choked on his drink as he had heard it. Zee stood up to make himself another drink.

We are all with you mew, said yatch gently placing her palms holding mew's.

I know, it's...just i am scared I don't know if this single instance proves that i am gay.. said mew

"You are not gay you just like a boy about whom you have not thought over" said zee teasing mew changing his mood.

Only zee knew about gathering information and also more secrets which he kept between them. Unsure about his own feelings mew had closed that chapter long back till he comes out to his family especially his mom.

Mew, trust me it would be your choice and we will all be by your side. Promise me whatever happens you would never think of taking any extreme step... Said boat with his voice full of concern.

I promise phi's ..younger said crossing his heart...

They all smiled, yatch ruffled his hairs and gave him a sisterly hug. Then they all started chatting and teasing as zee joined in swaying with saint by his side. Bright and win as usual sat with each other. This was mew's world his get away.

A quick go through mew's friends life:

Zee, bright and yatch are mew's best friend. They are seniors from university and love mew like a younger brother. They are the happiness in his life and know him inside out. He just loves being with them.

Bright despite being senior was his first friend as he connected with him first when teachers partnered them during introduction program. Then he pulled zee who went on to become his soul brother. Finally it was phi yatch the only girl who ever slapped mew but now loves and cares for him like an elder sister she bought phi boat as a blessing in his life.

In bright's love story mew was the cupid. Rather bright approached him to get close to win who was mew's classmate later on zee and saint got along reason was mew.

Bright is a reknowned fashion designer who partners his label with saint. They are an established name in industry and work in collaboration with win's father's company which markets there label. So, you see all in a family.. Win works in textile industry and world knows about bright and win's relationship.

Zee pruk is mew's business partner he had a crush on mew in initial days but mew never reciprocated rather pushed him towards saint who was head over heels in love with him. Today he knew that his attraction towards mew is just a part of his protective side as an elder brother. He is partner in mew's business while saint is a fashion accesory designer and also partners with bright alongwith having his own label.

Yatch is married to her longtime boyfriend boat and have a daughter mia. They dated since high school and met mew when they were in their 3rd year of medical. Mew loves phi yatch as a elder sister who gave him love and care he never got from his mother. Phi boat is a blessing who bestows him with all the fatherly love and compassion. Their houses are open for mew at any hour. All will be with mew just at one call.

They are a close knit circle of friends whom he calls his family.
--------++-----++++----+++---+++------++++--+++
Mew's family:

He only has his mother to be called as family. Though his mother is in touch with all relatives he finds them fake and opportunist and keeps away.

Ruby Suppasit is a beautiful single mother she gave mew every happiness of life which money can buy. She is the best woman entrepreneur and lives a high socialite life. She raised her son with values and strict discipline. Except for reprimanding him for his mistakes she never cuddled or hugged him with love. All the bitterness she had in her heart due to her ex - husband she poured on the kid. She assured her bitter poison was sugar coated so mew felt the pain but could never talk against her. Mew knew she has an affair but never spoke or interfered in her life because she doesn't like people meddling in her business. Mainly it's because mew looks after his mother's happiness before his.

As mew came out to his mother about his sexual preference she got him grounded and emotionally blackmailed him to get married to Rain. Unable to refuse his mother he just decided to do it as per her wish.

Rain Rangron is ruby's family friend Mr Thara Rangron's daughter. Mew and she did their masters in business management from oxford University. After which she joined her father's business and became business woman just like his mother. She has high social strata and weighs everything between profit and loss. She could be seen on magazine pages in celebrity party at events along with his mother. Mew is her obsession but knowing he doesn't like her she spread her charms on his mother.

Non of mew's friends like her. Mew is been forced into this marriage alliance. His resilience got them all mad. Accepting the alliance, he is getting married because he doesn't want to go against his mother and hurt her. After telling this to his friend they all got angry at him and were forcing him to change his decision. Mew decided not to talk and hurt them more.

Destiny we all know it plays different so let's see what would happen next.

---------------+++---------++++-------+++++---------+++++-------+++++-----------+++++++---++++----------++
Zeep resort and spa:

The venue is shining bright whole resort is booked for someone celebrating best moment of her life. Every corner speaks perfection and beauty. In bride's room top beautician to famous designers are hurled to have the final checks and fittings. Though it's still a week for the wedding Rain has pulled everyone (bride and grooms close ones) to this resort away from City where they would be spending time on engagement, photoshoot, bachelorette, fun nights and other functions while they near their destination wedding by the beach as per her wish.

Actually it's her trick so mew is busy and couldn't think any reason or get a way out of this alliance. She is afraid his friends would make him back out from this marriage.

Second floor was booked for bride and her close friends first floor was booked for groom and his relatives.

The alley which goes towards grooms room is desserted though it is well lit but still seems dark because not a single soul is around. There are tall muscular guards spread on floor who would tag along wherever mew went.

He has chased off everyone who came to get his final checks. He just needed to be alone. His mother is busy so she will be here only a day before marriage so technically complete crowd is from bride's end. That is mainly her family, friends and cousin. Only people with mew are designers, make up artists, some relatives whom he doesn't count as family, few of his mother's close friends and their kids many whom he doesn't even know personally and his bodyguards.

Mew sat near the window all alone with blank eyes staring at the sky which played hues as sun was setting.

He read his friends group line chat. None of them were going to turn up as they didn't want to see him doing something he would regret his life time.

Bright: Mew you fucking moron, pick the damn phone. We are all stressed don't do this to yourself.

Win: Mew, just don't give up you can't hurt yourself like this. It's about your life friend.

Yatch: Mew sweetie, phi is always their with you but rethink this decision. I swear if you are thinking of doing anything wrong i will break your head.

Boat: Don't even think of taking any extreme step. Phi is worried about you mew...

Saint sent a frowning emoji 😟...

Then a sad emoji😞😢...

Saint: Mew, we really miss seeing you smile. Why are you getting involved in this circus against your wish.

Mew it's not easy we know but just once talk to anyone of us...kiddo, you are freaking us out with your silence.
It was yatch again.

Zee: Guys let him breath, remember he is just alone there in that resort with that not so good lady vampire. I pity you bro but if she hurts you or you think of anything at such i would kill you both and sit in jail...

Mew smiled thinking of his friends they really loved him... He made a video conference call to all... None said a word looking at his sad and painful face.

Zee: I am coming there right away and getting you out.

Bright: Let me know i am also joining.

Boat: yatch help me handle all the schedule i am also joining you guys.

Win: hey bri, you are flying to London for the show tonight.

Bright: I will cancel it..

Win: No need I would go...Do you have any idea mew how pissed we are? Rain made aunty give us the work of designing your brides bridal outfit.

Bright: I rejected the offer upright.

Saint: I literally fired the staff who took the work without informing me to design her jewelleries.

Win: This is too much she had the audacity to do that.

Yatch:(softly) : Mew sweetie say something

A tear dropped from corner of mew's eyes. Everyone literally felt his pain for few seconds everything went silent.

Mew: I can't do this.

Zee: I knew it.... Peep under your bed there is a bag pack grab it and somehow get out of there. I will make arrangement to get you back here.

Saint: How did you know mew will think about this?

Zee: (Shrugging his shoulder): It's just that i know he is a tubelight, i just took a chance.

Boat: How did you manage to snug that bag?

Zee: (devilish smirk): My dad owns that resort...You see the name zeep (zee pruk)....

Zee: Mew, there is a way out of the bathroom. I will let one of my trusted to your room he will open that path for you. Then you snug out by midnight just be careful not to hurt yourself.

Mew just nodded as it is he spoke less and with so much going on he wasn't in any mood.

Saint: Come back soon we will be waiting for you.

Mew: Saint, that bracelet..

Saint: Don't worry i have got it mended will give it to you once you are back.

Zee: Give me a call i will make all the arrangements..

Yatch: Sweetie take care don't think anything we are all there with you.

He signed off and as zee said in next half an hour one of the person who seemed to be manager of the resort came to his room on pretext of getting his room cleaned up with some butlers. They did the work and left.

It's been tiring for mew but he had to do this. He slowly unlocked the door and saw few guards at the entrance and exit door of the floor. He walked back and hurriedly took out the packed backpack placed under the bed. Never in his life had he thought about doing anything like this but now he had to.

He was surely gonna be tagged as run away groom. Currently all he wanted was space to think and for that he wanted to be away from this chaos. He threw the bag from the washroom window and made his way down the pipe. At the last leap his leg slipped and he closed the eyes anticipating a bad fall on his bum. On not feeling any pain he opened his eyes to see himself in arms of a boy who looked like an innocent kid.

The cute boy with dazzling smile was looking at the shivering boy in his arms. The boy had stopped as the bag which mew threw from the window landed on another boys head who looked up amused to see a silhouette in dark making his way out through pipe. Though they both were of same height currently mew felt leaner in his arms snuggled all red.

Mew moved getting boy to let him down. As the lad with shiny skin let mew on his feet he thanked him. He also asked sorry for throwing the bag without seeing. Mew, also told him he is running away from his own marriage...

It's fine I won't judge you because everyone has the right to think for themselves. Said the young lad who wore a black jeans and a white t-shirt. Mew was mesmerised by his beauty and doomed on the second meet too.

No Personal details were discussed or exchanged during the conversation. The boy was friendly so he decided to help this run away groom....

"My name is..." Before mew continues the other boy stopped him.

"Wait"

'.........'

Let's call each other with different names don't wish to disclose identity and then find each other or get caught in any way. We would be friends for this week long journey only. As you take time to think about your married life and i finish my appearance at the music competition.

Mew nodded his head thinking how childish someone can be. He was ready for all this childishness.

I would call you.. hmmm..hhmmm" He kept finger on his chin and made face as if in deep thinking... Yes, i would call you Tharn..

Mew frowned " What kind of name is this?"

Hey, this what i want to call you. Why are you behaving as if i have told you to change your name? It's just for few days okay.

Mew made a sullen face but agreed "Okay"

Then i would call you Kana... Said mew smiling wide.

Huh, is that even a name?... Sounds like a salad ingredient....

"Its tasty i like to eat kana raw" said mew in a husky voice near kana's ear. His mind halted for few second with that proximity. Taking a deep breath in he got himself out of the daze. The lad who teased was relaxing with a smile on his face.

Fine, Kana then it is.. said the bright skin lad.

Mew kept on listening kana's non stop blabbering while they made their way sneaking towards parking.

I have to attend music competition after a week for which my darling dad is against. He wants me to join his business which I won't do. So, i decided to win this competition and prove my father that i have a better career in the profession i like then being in business. Catch is my dearest uncle Thara who is my dad's partner is helping me as he trusts me.

He gave me an access to his bungalow on one of the private island he owns. I need to be alone their which i didn't want but he told me not to take any friends as it would be a risk. My mom may find out and trace me there which i am so sure she may do. So, i offer you to tag along if you want and share the space with me. You are a stranger so my mom won't trace you. There you won't have luxuries neither servants. He has assured someone would stock up food for me. I will ask to stock up more and only way to reach this private island is motor boat which he will arrange.

Oh yes, there isn't any network in that space so no mobiles or ipads would work to get any information. We will move from there a day before my fest so i don't miss it. After all it is about crossing sea and you never know when it will change. After listening to this don't think negative about my phor or mae they love me a lot. I am their loving prince it's just i am first time trying to explore my way against my dad....

Finally he took in a deep breath as he finished his non stop explanation this complete time mew didn't even speak a word.

Walking towards the parking mew looked at a cherry red pick up van which kana showed him.

Mew had never in his lifetime sat in anything other then luxury cars. All of his friend also came from rich family so they also preferred only luxury vehicles. He was excited but his face being as straight as ever kana thought he isn't happy.

Kana: What's that with your face?

Tharn looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

Kana: We are running away so can't afford luxuries so this is our companion to reach the sea shore from where we would get into a motor boat to reach the island. Mew didn't say anything they both just hopped into the van.

After driving for a distance kana stopped.

"I am famished" Said Kana

Mew frowned looking at the small dingy joint.

Kana: How many times i Should say don't make that face. We can't afford luxuries...

Mew didn't say anything but when food arrived kana's face was watch worthy. The kid had never tasted any food from street. Looking at the food loaded with oil and been served with dirty hands his face formed frown. Mew bit his inner cheek to stop his laughter.

Mew: God's grace, we got to eat at least this. Kana stared it him angrily knowing he is being teased.

Mew ate a little knowing his stomach won't support such food. Then he left the table opening his bag he took his silver flat bottle of alcohol and just took few sips. When the young lad came from behind and puffed his face.

"I didn't knew you were a drunkard"

"It's just a habit need it everyday to stop feeling pain which just emerges" said mew sighing deeply.

There is nothing in the world except love that can help someone forget pain. When i feel pain i hug my mae or phor and it just vanishes said the kid innocently.

I don't have a phor mae separated from him long back when i was 7 years old. Don't even remember his face. Mae would never hug when i am in pain because she feels this gestures makes people weak.

Kana turned tharn and hugged him.

"Hugs always make person strong" the warmth that mew felt really melted the frost which stung his heart.

"Okay, enough i need to make some calls before we go off the network" Said mew making his way away from the kid. Truth is this hug was giving him hopes of love but he didn't want to rely on fake assurances.

After that mew just made a call which went to voicemail. He left a voice message to his mother asking her not to worry and he will be back once he has sorted himself. He made another call to his friends.

Mew: Hello phi zee..

Zee: Yeah mew, i have made all the arrangements just grab the backpack and tell me the location baby. You will be with us in next half an hour.

Mew: Hmmm...there is change in plan.. I am going to an island.

Zee: What island?

Mew: Don't know the details but tagging along with someone.

Yatch: Who is that someone? I mean girl or boy...

Mew: Boy

Zee: Do we or you know him?

Mew: Hmm.... Not that you don't know but he is still a stranger.

Bright: (spat ) Are you freaking out of your mind? How can you trust someone he might be an imposter?

Mew: (smiling) No, he is just a spoilt brat.

Mew said looking at the boy who was now kicking stone to pass the time. They were at hotel garden at a distance. The boys head turned towards mew and he made a bad face signing him about the time showing his watch.

Zee had got the hint so he decided not to lengthen the discussion. May be each one had some kind of a hint because mew was sorted and won't take decision in haste.

Zee: Okay, tell me about the contact?

Mew: I know nothing but he said there won't be range in that place but be assured i will find some way to stay in contact.

Zee: There is a satellite phone in your bag it would never have a network issue except in one scenario which you know other then that you can contact me from anywhere got it.

Yatch who was also on call and still silent spoke now.

Yatch: zee, i hope you have stacked all mew's medicine properly.

Zee: I was against it because i thought i was about to get him here but phi boat made sure to make the pouch and put it in his front zip.

Yatch: Oh , i so love my husband.

Mew: Okay, now i gotta go... Guys take care i would miss you.

Awwww sweetie take care of yourself... Said yatch in sad tone

We would also miss you meow... Said zee and bright

Then he switched off all his gadgets and got along on a unknown journey with a stranger who was not so stranger.
