Flashback

Gulf's POV

"Push a bit more, Mr. Jongcheveevat! The head is going to come out."

The doctor encouraged me as I push the baby with all might. I ran out of breath as I depends on the oxygen tank. Then a loud cry starts to fill the room.

"It's a boy! Right on 12:30 am!" The doctor said as I felt another baby is going to come out. "One last baby, Mr. Jongcheveevat. Push hard." The doctor said as I followed what he said. Then a sharper cry filled the Labour room making my heart flipped in joy. I couldn't felt the pain anymore.

"A girl. 12:35 am." The doctor said. After they cleaned up my twins, I get to hold them. My angles. My babies. Suddenly, a nurse voice disturbing my thoughts. "Mr. Jongcheveevat. We need to take away your twins for a while for a further check up. Also, you need a rest." The nurse said as she took away my babies. After they cleaned my wound, I am sent to my room and I fall into a deep sleep.

Mew's POV
I came early to see my wife giving birth. But I don't want him to know about it. Instead, I acted as one of the nurse. As I entered the labour room, I could see his pale face. It must be hurt so bad, Gulf. How I wish I could hold your hand. Then, the doctor said that his opening already reached 10 cm. I then took no time to hurry and hold his hand.

His hurting face shows a lot. He also need to depend on the oxygen tank. The doctor said he got Anaemia due to the pregnancy. He could die anytime soon makes me really sad. What if he died before he got to meet our kids? What if he died without knowing our kids name? But the thing that I scared most is, what if he died before I get to apolagize to him?

The thoughts make my heart squeeze. His groans and moans in pain entering my eardrums. Suddenly, a cry filled the room making him smile. How long since I've seen those sweet smile? Before he marry me? Stop it Mew, you're the one who make him stop smiling. A monster like you don't deserve his smile.

Then, the other baby came out. Our twins, Gulf. Isn't this our dream? If I lowered my ego this wouldn't happened right?

Gulf's POV

I woke up only to see Mew standing at the window inside the ward. He then turned around only to say things that hurts me most.

"You've given me what I wanted and I will give you the money. You can now go every place you desire. I don't need you anymore." He said with a stoic face.

"Please, I beg you Mr. Jongcheveevat. At least let me be with them for a month." I beg him. I never beg to anyone before. But, I need to be with my babies. Even just for a while.

"Thank you, Mr. Jongcheveevat! Thank you!" I said as tears starts to run down my cheeks.

Mew just walk out of the room as I said thank you. I never expect of anything else. The most important thing now is that I have 30 days with my babies and I'll appreciate it.

Mew's POV

I walk out of Gulf's room and ran straight to the restroom. I entered one of the cubicle and cried my heart out. Why? Why don't you just curse on me and hit me for doing that? Why you need to beg, Gulf?

It hurts so bad.

Suddenly an old promise from Gulf entered my mind.

"EVEN IF YOU HATE ME I'LL STILL LOVE YOU. MY LOVE FOR YOU IS INFINITE."

Sorry, Gulfie. I really do.
