Forget You Not

Zee came in carrying two box in his hand and Max frowned after seeing him.

Max can see the devastated sad look on his eyes. The stables in his chin as he couldn't even shave it.
Life was been hard for Zee as Max thought.

Seeing his best friend suffer the consequence of him and Nunew's decision. Maybe all along he knows he did something wrong thinking only his family and families business, but not thinking their own happiness.

Now it's gonna be too late.

"Hi bro, it's been soo long huh." Max said smiling weakly at Zee.

"We've just seen each other days ago Max." Zee said as he placed the boxes on the center table.

"I know but it feels like a long time Zee." Max said sadly.

"I'm just busy with work bro, sorry for that" he said sitting on the couch, leaning his head to relax.
It feels like life wasn't easy for him for the last days.
His head was throbbing in pain as he had a hangover for drinking the night away with his brother Tutor and Net.

"Are you okay?" Max ask. Zee nodded trying to be really okay even if not.

" You didn't tell me you're coming. What's that boxes is for?" Max being curious looking at the boxes. One small gift that was wrap beautifully with a red bow that wrapped around it and the other one that's bigger but without wrap and just a simple box.

Zee slowly lean forward holding his head and looking at his shoes.

"I'm not going to your wedding tomorrow Max." He said. Max look at him sadly and understandably. He knows this would happen, but hearing it from him now makes him speechless. He don't know what to say.
"I'm going to Europe tomorrow and I'm not coming back here anymore. I'll be staying there for good" he continue.

"Why does it have to be tomorrow, bro." Max ask when he finds his voice. He felt like Zee is abandoning him in this situation he had even though he wasn't part of it in the first place. Or he should have been if he was not just too scared to face what he had felt.

" You're not that dumb to know what reason Max. Let's not pretend anymore. You know why already." He said still not looking at Max.

Max didn't say anything as Zee was right. He had already known about it. Now his confessing this to him when tomorrow is the day.

"But, Zee I don't think running away with this would help." Max suggested as it's the other way he thinks this could really end.
"Zee, you know I saw Nunew only as a brother. I don't love him the way he wanted me to. I wanted to cancel the wedding." Zee look at Max immediately. Hoping for something to happen but he knows he can't hope for something else.
"But you know I can't Zee. I tried but they would disinherit me and that would ruin me Zee. I work for this for the longest. I can't just throw everything of what my life has now. Unless the cancelation of the wedding would come from the Keerati." He said and Zee looked down again and sigh.

That's what he thought. Max where too scared to risk everything in his life. He would rather be in a loveless marriage than to be disinherit of everything he had work hard for.
"Why won't you tell him about this."

"Hah.." Zee scoff looking away. "I already told him what I truly felt for him Max. I already told him that I love him." Zee says as Max was confused and couldn't believe what he heard.

"When did you tell him?" Max couldn't comprehend what he found out.

"Week's ago. But I guess he loves you that much as he never considered my feelings at all." Zee said as his eyes sting and tears threatened to fall, but he hold it back.
