His Gummy Smile

The Picture

"What do you mean, not anymore?" Lei shouted grogily. Leah held her hand to calmed her down. "Say it, Shan! Are you pregnant or not? Don' t make us confused."

Shan crying hurtfully. "Yes, I am pregnant and Forth is the father, but I am too stressed when I heard about his relationship with him, and I lost the baby."

Everybody shocked about what Shan's said. Forth become pale. He held Beam's hand tightly. Leah held her son's arm.

Shan took something from her bag and gave it to her mother. Lei read the paper and passed it to Leah.

The thing that Shan handed to his mother was a doctor's certificate stating that Shan had to take time to rest because he just went through the process of cleaning the uterus after a miscarriage.

Lei cried while holding Shan's stomach. He glared at Forth. "How could you let this happen to my daughter, Forth? Didn't I ask you to take care of her? Why did you hurt Shan? And that man? You said he was your lover? Have you been gay all this time? Leah, you already know your son is gay. and you didn't do anything? "

Leah tilted her head and raised her eyebrows. He brushed Lei's index finger which was pointing at Forth.

"I don't know," Leah said softly. "I just found out about it this afternoon when Forth got home and introduced Beam as his lover. Well, even though I was surprised, but they looked harmonious and adorable together. They both compete to show each other who loves who more, and it really touching. "

"That means you agree with your son being gay? That's disgusting."

"Why? Aren't you the one who wants to match and plan for your daughter to be with my son who you call disgusting?" snapped Leah sharply. "So what if my son is gay? Wine also has a boyfriend and that in no way diminishes my love for him. I attach great importance to the happiness and comfort of my children, no matter what gender they are together. Don't be petty, Lei, it's the modern age. "

"Still he's a bastard," shouted Lei angrily. "He tarnished my child, let her go through the pregnancy on her own and then miscarried her. He has to take responsibility or I'll drag him to the police."

Leah looked at Shan gently. "Are you sure the baby belongs to Forth?"

"Auntie, what do you mean asking like that?" asked Shan, crying. "Of course it's Forth's. I just handed myself over to Forth. I even have proof of when we were together."

"Shan, watch your words," said Forth angrily. "I never touched you at all."

"Oh, Forth, don't tell me you forgot what we went through together."

Shan gave her cell phone to Leah. In the photo gallery on her phone there is a photo where Forth and Shan are hugging on a bed. Forth slept while hugging Shan and it was clear that both of them were wearing nothing under the blanket.

Beam bit his lips when he saw that picture. Leah transferred that picture to her phone.

"Forth, for now, just stay here and company Shan until she get better. We will talk later." Leah ordered with firm tone in her voice. She turned to Shan and Leah. "Let me talk to my family about this thing first. Don't worry, Lei, you know me so well, and you know my husband, too. We will never let our son become irresponsible man and coward. Just give us time to discuss everything first."

"Mam?" Forth protested.

Leah glared to her son. "Quiet! Just do what I said. I will take Beam home. Don't make a messed again. I will talk to your father and brothers."

"But ... "

"We will company you, Forth," said Lam. He nudge Park, whose rushedly nodded.

"No!" Leah pointed to Lam and Park. "You two, come with me and Beam. Let Forth spending time with Shan."

Shan smiled widely and reaching Forth's hand. She glared to pale Beam and smirking.

"Don't you dare to lie to me," said Lei coldly. "They have to be married soon. I loose my grandchild, but I want give up on my daughter happiness. At least, your son have to responsible to save my daughter image."

"We never run from our obligate Lei, if that it is ours."

Leah dragged Beam, Lam, and Park out from the room. Forth run to Beam and snatched his hand from her mother. Forth took Beam to the one of empty room.

"I have to talk with Beam, Mam, let me talk."

Leah nodded but said nothing. He took the lift with park and Lam.

"Baby, did you believed all of this drama?" Asked Forth desperately. He pulled Beam to his embrace and drowned his head on Beam's shoulder.

Beam silently stroked Forth's back. "I don't know, Forth. It all confusing me."

"What? Why are you confuse? I love you since the first time I saw you. Don't you have faith in me?"

"Don't questioned me that. Its me who love you first. I remember you said that you are not into man. And you still have relationship with her that time."

"I never touched her. Never!"

"The man in the picture is you."

"No, its not."

"Forth, let me go home first. Just followed your Mam ordered now. We will talk later after your family decision. I have no right to claim you right now. Its family matter."

"But you are my family, Babe. I want to marry you."

"Just ... " Beam throw his hand to the air and his eyes become teary. He sobbed and pulled Forth. "I love you, Forth, but maybe this is the end."

"W-what?"
