He was about to lose him

Maw Oo Yan took a corner room in the club and sat calmly in front of the liquor bottles without smiling. Holding a drinking cup in one hand, his current situation seemed to be lost in direction.

When it came to this day of the year, he tended to run away from society. After driving his car and wandering around in his thoughts all day, he came to this club to relieve himself.

People would think that he was not suffering anything for his mother dead. Actually, seeing his mom dead suddenly that day brought all his happiness together to death as well. He always considered that his mother died because she became a victim of love.

That's why he just wanted to avoid love as he didn't get it from his parents. So, he hated being in love and longing for someone else's love.

His marriage life went exactly what his parents encountered. He and Lyan Oo Nway had many differences and they were like parallel lines which had no convergence point at the end. They both just tried so much to hold each other.

His mother tied Mr. Maw Soe to the end until she died. Maw Oo Yan would never cheat on Lyan Lyan like what his father did. He disgusted people who were unloyalty. He thought they would have a great relationship unless they didn't cross each other's lines after they got married. The current image of Lyan Oo Nway made him think about his mother who wanted to tie him.

That's why he always wanted to run away from love as he hated it.

He drank his glass and heard the phone ringing continuously. It was from Lyan Oo Nway. He already knew the reason. His mother passed away on one of his birthdays.

"I am busy"

He rejected the other side's request without thinking twice as he wanted to live alone today. He always had to hide and let no one know the fact that he was so obsessed. However, his mother died because of Lyan Oo Nway's father. It would be the truth that no one can fix. The door of his heart was not ready to open for Lyan Oo Nway.

He was drunk all night and then he asked the waiter, who served him liquor he ordered, what time it was as he had no strength to raise his hand to look at the watch.

"It's 1AM sir"

He raised up his head when he heard those words and asked that boy to call a taxi for him. He just enthusiastically wanted to go back home.

The driver held him to send home until he reached the door of his house. He then unlocked the door and entered the house and found there was no light at all in the living room. When he turned on the light, there was an untouched birthday cake but the birthday boy was not there.

There was a gentle breathing in the bedroom and it seemed to disappear even with a single touch.

He stepped closer towards the bed by the help of moonlight entering through the window. Why he lied down next to him, the sweet and warm scent of his body made his heart relex.

"Lyan Lyan, Are you asleep?"

The gentle breathing did not change at all and he was certain that Lyan Oo Nway was sleeping soundly.

"I'm sorry for making you sad on your birthday"

He gazed at the ceiling and felt dizzy because of the alcohol. But he didn't want to sleep yet. He turned to Lyan Oo Nway lying with his head on his one hand and staring at the sleeping beauty.

"One day, if you want to leave, just make sure to tell me. I will not hold you. When you feel like I tied you down, you'll get tired. For me, I'm used to seeing people leave"

At the end of his words, he too fell asleep. They dreamed the same dream together that the kite they flew together broke the string and was blown away by the wind.

They got married in their youth and they were not mature enough to keep the marriage life. Now, they both felt tired of it.

In the morning, when Maw Oo opened his eyes, there was no one around. He sat on the bed holding his aching head. Not long after, Lyan Oo Nway came into the bedroom holding a cup of coffee. His face was so soft that it seemed as if he had no worries.

"You drank too much yesterday night, right?My mother said a brewed coffee with a bit of lemon can make you not sober. Here, I made it for you."

The hot coffee that was handed to him could make him feel better than any other coffee he had ever drunk. Lyan Oo Nway sat next to him. Then he touched his forehead.

"You aren't sick. But how about taking a rest at home if you are feeling uncomfortable."

For Lyan Oo Nway, he didn't want to give up yet. If love is reciprocal, Maw Oo Yan will love him one day.

"It's okay, I have an important meeting today"

Saying that, Maw Oo Yan went into the bathroom. He learned to accept the coldness of Maw Oo and later ignored it. Maw Oo's coldness no longer hurt him. He just accepted it. He couldn't afford anything.

After Mao Wu went to work, he started to clean the whole house to relax. He asked Kyi May not to come back from her hometown because of her health, but he learned from Kyi May, he had become very good at housework.

After cleaning the house he took shower and sat on the sofa when Ray called him. He called him to accompany him when he went shopping. Lyan Lyan accepted as he was free too.

Ray had to go to a wedding so he brought him to pick out a western outfit. The shop that sold prom dresses and wedding dresses was so famous.

As they entered the store, Ray was choosing a shirt, so he sat down in the visitor's chair. He saw a familiar back, long stature and strong, broad back. If he was wearing western clothes, the aura that he radiated made everyone not even dare to look at him. He was the only one, his husband Maw Oo Yan.

Why did he come here? When he saw a woman coming out from a fitting room and stood in front of Maw Oo, he was surprised. She was Mary. She wore a short white gown and seemed like a bride. Maw Oo nodded at her while smiling. For him, Maw Oo only came to meet him when they attended their own wedding ceremony. But looked at him together with Mary.

"Lyan Lyan, I'm done. Let's move to the next one"

Covering his eyes with one hand, Ray led him outside. Because he knew about the marital problems between him and Maw Oo Yan. However, he never once said that Maw Oo was bad. He comforted him so that only he could calm down. Sometimes he taught him to ignore unnecessary thoughts.

When they reached near the car, he was sobbing in Ray's arms. He was too tired to love Maw Oo Yan as he insulted and mistaken him. He looked small down on his love and forced him to hate himself. He already knew their marriage had become toxic day by day but he tried to hold him. Whenever he wanted to open, the only one who would love to listen to his words was uncle Ray.

"Are you tired? If you have shed enough tears, you need to find a solution. What do you want to do now? Do you want to ask him directly why he is with someone else?"

Lyan Oo Nway shook his head. He didn't have a right to interfere with his life. Ray gave a long sigh and embraced Lyan Oo Nway within his slender arms.

"Well, you found another man now."

Lyan Oo Nway quickly escaped Ray's grasp after hearing a voice from behind him. Ray also moved backward while gazing at Maw Oo Yan. He had the same eyes that a teacher or a parent would have for an imprudent child.

"At last, you are just like your father. Blood can't lie."

"Maw Oo Yan," Ray shouted.

Lyan Oo Nway didn't understand Maw Oo's words. But he knew his words angered Ray so he raised his voice and clearly called out his name.

"I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to my husband."

"Humph.. If he's your husband, then is the girl next to you your wife?"

Only then, Mary who was behind Maw Oo this whole time stepped out.

"Maw Oo, calm down. He could be a friend of Lyan Lyan although they are hugging each other."

When Ray heard Mary's misleading words, he had a mature smile. He saw through that girl that she wanted to get between Maw Oo and Lyan Lyan and take advantage of them.

"No, it's not like what you think. Maw Oo, let me explain."

"He's already known so you don't need to explain further. Your husband is the biggest genius. If he wants to misjudge, he won't believe you no matter how many times you explain."

"Who are you? You are not related to me so you don't have a right to criticize me."

Maw Oo moved up to Ray and appeared to be getting ready to punch him. Fearful, Lyan Oo Nway cautiously checked their next movements.

"I heard blood speak. But I think you don't have your father's blood."

Ray's words found a weak spot in Maw Oo Yan. His weakness became his biological father after his mother after he learned that he was not Mr. Maw Soe's son.

"You're talking about my father like you do understand him."

"There's no one who doesn't know Mr.Maw Soe. If you have logical reasoning, you should clearly know that you and Lyan Lyan would be around my son's age if I were to have a baby."

If I knew you would become spoiled like this, I would take you out and run away. At least, if you grew up under my wings, you wouldn't become a selfish person.

It's not a lie when he said that he often tried to steal his child from Maw's family. If he took care of Maw Oo, he would become a kind and warm person for sure. If there was a list of criminals who made Maw Oo scared of love, he would also top the list.

He tried to help Lyan Oo Nway in any way he could because of this. He advised Lyan Oo to leave Maw Oo rather than hating Maw Oo to his very bones.

"You've grown up this way."

Maw Oo Yan became furious and marched forward to punch, Lyan Oo Nway rushed and hugged his waist.

"I'm terribly sorry. It's totally my fault. Maw Oo, this man is my acquaintance. It's a fact. I'm not lying to you."

He screamed and explained while tears streamed down his face. Maw Oo remained standing still without calming down. He was being held under control by Lyan Oo, who turned to face Maw Oo while doing so.

"How about you, then? Are you not constantly spending time with Mary? You sent her to the clothing store for the important meeting you mentioned?

"I'm not like you. I've told you countless times that.."

"Like rumors are rumors forever? Why can't you maintain a low profile to prevent the spread of such rumors? I am legally your spouse. Nevertheless, why is Mary, whose name was always behind yours? How about me? Only your father and people from your previous home are aware that I am your spouse."

"Didn't you know what kind of person I am before you married me?"

"I didn't. Maw Oo Yan I knew was different from you today."

There was a pain drop silence and they could even hear the sound of the leaves rustling. The sound of Lyan Oo Nway sobbing could be heard everywhere. The area became more crowded as a result of the numerous onlookers who noticed them and took pictures of them. Lyan Oo Nway fought to break free of his embrace, and he nearly went limp like a doll with its strings detached. Ray then gave him timely assistance.

"I'm afraid you'd look back and regret things. You occasionally need to leave the past behind without fusing it with the present. You will wear out the people you love until you resolve yourself."

When Ray got Lyan Oo Nway in his car, he drove off. Lyan Oo Nway's remarks caused him to forget to act. It is painful. His heart felt as though it were being prodded by fire. He sensed that he was about to lose him. The kite's rope got progressively thinner. Only God knows who would cut the rope first—him or Lyan Oo Nway.
