Begin Again (The Ending)

"The drama is getting interesting. Mary returned home after her graduation. Her father is going to announce her as an heir. Maw corporation's CEO and Ray's successor's news are also spreading like wildfire. They were childhood sweethearts. I wonder who's gonna be lucky in this love triangle."

"In my opinion, a person like Maw Oo would definitely choose Mary. Why might he pick up a sponsor boy? Right?"

"According to Ray, he said that it's his cousin, not a sponsor."

"And it looks like they don't have such a romantic relationship, I suppose so."

Before the party started, everyone's attention was on Maw Oo's love affair, which was always a puzzle, and it's still ambiguous even after his divorce.

"Maw Oo is here."

Along with that scream, everyone was excited. There's no one next to him. Only two people, Min Say and Dpar Oo, who were in charge of the company's public affairs were behind him.

To tell the truth, Maw Oo and Ray had been arguing over Lyan Oo Nway to attend the party as their partners. At the end, Lyan Oo Nway's choice was Ray and told Maw Oo that he would meet him at the party. Although Maw Oo was disgruntled about this, he had no way to vent his frustration. Still now, they didn't seem to arrive.

"Maw Oo."

He was familiar with the owner of this voice so he politely greeted her back.

"I heard from uncle Richard that you're back. How's everything with you lately?"

Coquettishly, Mary pushed her hair behind her ear.

"You didn't come to pick me up, Maw Oo"

"Sorry. I was busy at the time"

Mary nodded at him for a reply.Suddenly all the media reporters were coming to them and all cameras on them. Mary raised her head like the one who possessed his heart was coming back. There was no one who could stand next to Maw Oo like her. All eyes on them and no one knew Ray and Lyan Oo Nway entered.

"According to the rumors, you two are going to get married, Is it ture?"

Those Questions could make Lyan Oo Nway who was standing behind them frown.

"A rumor is just a rumor. I have said this many times. We are just colleagues"

Maw Oo denied it respectfully to Mary. But Mary was smiling shyly the whole time and making reporters think about dilemmas. They could not decide right or wrong.

"I heard you divorced your former husband because of Mary. Is it true?"

Mary's face became pale but still standing with a smile on her face.

"That was because of misunderstandings, Maw Oo's previous marriage was built without love, so it easily fell apart. Am I right Maw Oo?"

She called Maw Oo but the one who made a sound was not him.

"Excuse me. May I intervene in this matter?"

It's a sweet voice. But together with anger. Lyan Oo Nway was wearing a white long pants with a high waist and a puffy purple shirt exposing his chest. Around his neck were small silver threads. In his ear, he wore a small earring that is the latest design.

"Are you Ray's successor?"

"I am Lyan Oo Nway. Could you please remember my name if you see me next time?"

Lyan Oo Nway retorted that journalist and walked towards Maw Oo who warmly welcomed him with a broad smile.

Lyan Oo Nway hooked Maw Oo's arm and turned towards the media. When Maw Oo cupped over Lyan Oo Nway's hands, he noticed his hands were cold. Lyan Oo Nway packed all his courage to come all the way to Maw Oo.

Maw Oo patted his hand lightly.

"There's only one person in my life since before. That is my ex-spouse, Lyan Lyan. I've already decided to continue our relationship with him. May I request all of you not to write about me recklessly?"

Maw Oo talked to them without faltering a smile. Although Lyan Oo Nway was shaking, he felt secure and assured because of what Maw Oo said.

"Then, is Ray's successor your ex-husband?"

Maw Oo nodded in response. Only that time, the mystery behind the case in which Maw Oo kidnapped him on that party night was automatically solved.

Now everyone turned their attention to Lyan Oo Nway over Mary.

"Do you plan to remarry Maw Oo Yan?"

"May I know why you first broke up?"

"How do you and Maw Oo...…"

Endless questions surrounded two of them.

"I don't have time to answer all of your questions. But you just need to know one thing that Lyan Oo Nway will be my life partner forever. Only him. There's no one else."

After saying the last piece, Maw Oo hugged Lyan Lyan's waist and went up the hotel's highest flat. The reporters were left behind downstairs.

"Sigh...…"

Lyan Lyan released his grip and heaved a sigh. Being famous is incredibly difficult. Everyone's attention is on you.

He is aware that Maw Oo doesn't give much thought to other people's opinions, but Maw Oo would suffer if this information made headlines. He happened to come because his pride had been wounded. He even feels comfortable having a secret relationship with Maw Oo.

"Do you want to drink something?"

"What if the news might affect you?"

Maw Oo shrugged his shoulders. No one could make him shudder except being left by Lyan Oo Nway.

"You'll be known for being gay. Are you really cool about this?"

"If they say I'm gay, then it is. It's just a title. What matters most is embracing myself for who I really am."

Lyan Lyan bit his lip because of his answer. There's nothing tough for Lyan Oo Nway.

"So are you going to accompany me now?"

Maw Oo said it while putting his arm around his waist. He instantly nodded.

"Let's go. The swimming pool on the top floor is designed up to my liking. Shally we go and see?"

"Sure."

Maw Oo extended his hand while grinning. Everyone's attention was focused on their clasped hands. His hand was placed against his racing heart and followed after Maw Oo. He could be so easily enchanted by Maw Oo.

On the top floor, not many people are present. Because it's a new resort, it's a little bit empty.

The night breeze and the song's chill sound went well together.

"Maw Oo"

"Yes?"

"If I were the previous Lyan Oo Nway, would you find me and tell me to stay beside you?"

Maw Oo hugged his waist and whispered by coming closer to him.

"I have been looking for you since I arrived here. I was finding you, Lyan Oo Nway, not an updated version of Lyan Lyan nor an old version of Lyan Lyan."

Maw Oo said wittedly and Lyan Oo Nway smiled. He was right. If he loved this person, he would love him no matter what.

"Over there, he's our business partner for our current project. I'll go talk to him. Would you want to come with me?"

Although Maw Oo took him into consideration, he didn't want to listen to business talk. Thus, he refused him.

"It's okay. You do your thing first. I'll wait for uncle Ray here."

Maw Oo lowered his head and pecked him on his earlobe. Then he walked to his business partner.

"Lyan Lyan, it's been a while since I've seen you,"

Lyan Oo Nway grinned as well upon seeing Mary. He was traumatized by her, but he now appeared to have the courage to confront her.

He was appreciative of Ray because each of his major changes gave him assurance. Ray gave him more confidence and enabled him to interact with others. Because of this, he was not at all surprised by the change.

"I haven't seen you in a very long time."

"Are you angry with me for what I said earlier?"

Lyan Oo Nway gave an answer while smiling subtly.

"I'm not upset. An onlooker who doesn't know about our internal affairs would say the same thing,"

Mary was well aware that the phrase "bystander" implied her lack of involvement.Additionally, she frequently flirts with him and expresses her feelings. But in return, she only got his disregard and denial.

Despite being aware that she was losing, she refused to face reality.

"Maw Oo will eventually have a change of heart. He even had second thoughts about me. I'm sure you'll get what I'm saying."

He could not stand her calling Maw Oo a treacherous individual. She ought to understand how much Maw Oo despises betrayal.

"He has never had a change of heart. You have known him for a long time so I'm sure you know that better."

The words of Lyan Oo Nway rendered Mary speechless. He turned to face Maw Oo because he didn't want to talk any longer. Maw Oo seemed to notice him as well. He returned to him.

"Are you tired?"

As he combed Lyan Oo Nway's hair, Maw Oo questioned. When Lyan Oo Nway wrapped his hands around his neck, he managed to flirt.

"I was quite tipsy. Ray is requesting that I attend the dance downstairs. Please send me to the event."

The people who were watching the two of them closely or covertly knew exactly what was going on.

"Alright. Please excuse us, Mary."

As he led him away, Maw Oo gave him a hug. Lyan Oo Nway was deep in thought. Lyan Oo Nway then gave him a possessive order.

"I am jealous. Keep your distance from her."

Lyan Oo Nway's ability to act however he pleased was something Maw Oo appreciates. Ray must be credited for teaching him how to be brave and sincere. If not, people who are too quiet and tolerant, like Lyan Oo Nway, will always suffer.

"You are the law."

Lyan Oo Nway flashed with a smile when he heard Maw Oo's reply. He was leaning on Maw Oo's chest. Suddenly, he recalled that his birthday was coming up.

"Honey."

"Yes?"

"Can you accompany me on my birthday?"

The breeze came in a hurry. Maw Oo didn't give a response for quite a time. Lyan Oo Nway felt a pain in his heart so he instantly looked him up.

"Why don't you answer my question?"

Maw Oo still closed his lips. That day was the one his mom died. It was a day that traumatized him like a shadow till now. Normally, he took a day off and he was free all day. But he couldn't afford to stay all smiling like nothing happened on that day.

"Honey, I want to know what's on your mind so that I can understand you better. Can't you share with me?"

Lyan Oo Nway caressed his chest and posed the question. Maw Oo exasperatedly sighed.

"My mom passed away on your birthday."

Lyan Oo Nway was shuddered by that truth. In the past when he was feeling bitter, Maw Oo was also feeling the same.

Lyan Oo Nway tightly embraced Maw Oo. He wanted to do anything to comfort him.

"I didn't know. If you're not fine, then let's not celebrate my birthday.

He couldn't find another person like him who fully understood his life. He would surely forget the past. He didn't want to bring the pain into their future.

"Will you go with me to my old house?"

They departed the party after Lyan Oo Nway nodded. The old house was deserted. Mao Oo has compensated the employees and released them.

There was a magnificent room somewhere in that old, stuffy house. He discovered a woman's picture hanging on the wall as soon as he opened the door. Her aura was equally potent to that coming from Mao's body.

"She's my mom, Saw Nadi."

He introduced his mother as if she were a living being. Lyan Oo Nway shivered.

Lyan Oo Nway had a bad feeling in his heart as he viewed that painting, as though he had done something wrong.

He therefore hugged Maw Oo.

"Honey."

"Yes," "

Your mother is stunning. You are handsome just like your mom."

Maw Oo made an attempt to smile, but his smile lacked expression. His mother's tragic past would be the scariest event in his life. He was unable to let go of his past.

Lyan Oo Nway made his way over to the painting.

"Aunty, I'd like to apologize on my father's behalf. Please accept my apology and permit our relationship."

Those words helped Maw Oo Yan understand as well. Lyan Oo Nway spoke to his mother as if she were a real person, just like him.

"Aunty, I'm not a particularly good person. Although I am my father's son, I adore Maw Oo. Do you mind if I stay with him?"

Maw Oo was quaking as she watched him. Lyan Oo Nway was grabbed from behind as his eyes started to get wet. Her smile appeared even more elegant as he looked up at his mother.

He had had that feeling of her talking to him for a very long time. Every time he enters this space, he hears his mother's voice. He did not, therefore, enter and exit this room frequently.

"I'm exhausted, Lyan Lyan. All of them left me. They left me when I started to feel attached to them. I tried so hard to get someone to stick by my side, but I couldn't."

Maw Oo's tears landed on Lyan Oo Nway's shoulder while crying. tears that had been kept under control for a long time. The only person who could see Maw Oo's vulnerable side was Lyan Oo Nway.

He actually was someone who had drawn a line first, out of fear of being left behind. He feared that he would get hurt again.

"Honey."

"I thought if I was successful, I could keep you by my side. So I really persevered but it turned out I was wrong. Every time I thought no one was beside me, you popped up in my mind. Whenever I see you, I feel that the ice cube in my heart is melting. I love to find my existence from your eyes."

Maw Oo was sobbing like a child. It was the first time for Lyan Oo Nway's to see this side of him so he was surprised.

"I.. I was truly scared that my place in your heart would disappear. I only have ....."

"Hushhh…"

Maw Oo's lips were pressed shut with his finger.

"You can say 'I love you."

He also hugged Maw Oo Yan back.

"It's a lot of pain, right?"

Maw Oo nodded before giving Lyan Oo Nway another hug. He actually felt bad for his mother and asked Maw Soe to say sorry. He made his mother's suffering into his own trauma because there was nothing he could do about it. With Lyan Oo Nway's love, the injury has now healed.

"I'm now by your side."

"I love you, bae."

The words Lyan Oo Nway most desired to hear made him thrilled to hear them. He chuckled softly before curling up in his arms. Only then did he hear his loved one's words of adoration.

There is no such thing as being late in the means of love. The person who loves you will still wait even if you only love when you want to. Just one word can bring two people together. Even if it hurts, once you have tasted love, you will want to give it more of your heart. More addictive than drugs is love.

Things may change occasionally as you travel the path of love. It's necessary to feel sad at times. It's not all bad, though. Once you've made the decision to love, you'll need to share the bittersweet feelings that come with it.
