The Three Months Rule

Good Night, Husband

Merryl Baramee. She looked at Forth from head to toe and back to face, then turned to Beam. She pointed to her son then talked to Forth.

"Are you sure you can handle this stubborn son of mine, Forth? He's tasteful, hard to please, has a sharp mouth and can be very troublesome at times."

"Mom!" said Beam with a frown.

Forth chuckled. Merryl is the image of Beam in the female form and Beam is the image of Merryl in the male form. They are very similar.

"I know, Ma'am. I like all the Beam qualities you mentioned. I'll deal with that," Forth replied.

Merryl shrugged. "Well, I warned you. Don't look for me to complain about it the next time you run into trouble."

"Of course, Ma'am. I can guarantee I will handle him with care."

"Yeah. You are bigger than him. Muscular and manly. I know you can tame him better than me. Then, call me Mam."

Forth cuckled and nodded. Beam pouted hard.

Leah put her arm around Merryl gently. The woman in his arms was taller and energetic. She arrived by plane early to attend his son's wedding tomorrow, and with his free and lively nature he blended in easily with the Jamorhnooms.

"Lunch is ready. Let's eat and chat in the dining room. You must be tired after being on the plane for a long time. Do you like muffins?" asked Leah as she ushered Merryl into the dining room. She also signaled for Forth and Beam to call everyone.

"Oh, you can make muffins? With raisins and chocolate?"

"Sure. Beam likes almonds, but raisins and chocolate are good too."

Merryl turned to Beam with a mischievous smile on her lips. "Having a mother-in-law like Leah, you're going to be getting fat in the next few months, Beammie. You can't joke around and say you're prettier than me."

Merryl then said to Leah. "Don't spoil him too much, Leah. You'll be overwhelmed. He'll bother you with his unreasonable demands. Like tons of muffins, cake, korean foods, and rhum raisin ice cream. You will be exhausted."

Everyone in the dining room laughed at Merryl's words and saw Beam's frowning face.

Merryl is impressed to see how the Jamorhnoom family pamper and care for Beam.

She is not a woman who likes to be tied down. His marriage ended when Beam was 10 years old, but he doesn't regret it. Beam was raised by her mother and she again spurred herself on to a career, achieving her dream of traveling the world and creating an image of herself as an independent career woman.

After her mother died, she made sure Beam lived well and had all his needs met. One thing that bothered her sometimes was, Beam would be lonely.

However, seeing how Beam and the Jamorhnooms interacted, as well as seeing how Forth treated him, Merryl felt she could overcome her guilt. Beam looks happier and more cheerful.

"I thought you were straight. Are you tired of those girls?" Merryl asked Beam, when she is having had the opportunity to speak with her son alone.

They sat in the gazebo in the middle of a large garden full of various plants.

"You really like that muscular guy? Forth?"

Beam smiled. He loves his mother but never felt really close to her. Merryl was always on the move and Beam didn't really care either. Beam never cried whenever Merryl was away, but when her grandmother died he cried on and on for three days, refusing to eat for two weeks and mourning for six months.

Beam remembers, he began to accept his grandmother's death after meeting Forth at the beginning of college. His grief is diverted by an engineering student named Forth, though only friendship exists between them.

"Yeah. I like Forth. He's big, muscular, with tattoos and earrings, but he's very gentle, polite, caring, intelligent, and a great leader."

"I smell falling in love here," Merryl muttered. "Did you change your orientation to being gay? Well, not that I mind. It's your choice."

"Well. I'm not gay, Mom. I just love Forth. It wouldn't work if it wasn't Forth."

"Tssk... so cheesy, wow...." They both laugh together.

Merryl reached out and pulled Beam into her arms. "I know he's a good man, and his family pampers you very much. You'll be happy. I bless you. Besides, Forth is much more handsome than you. Be careful, he must be wanted by a lot of people out there."

Merryl hugged and kissed Forth and Beam on the forehead at their simple wedding ceremony the next day.

They didn't invite many people. Forth's Grandparent, Forth's parents and his three older brothers, Merryl and some of their closest relatives.

The event ended with an intimate dinner and later, Grandma Shanee summoned Forth and Beam to sign an agreement giving away a quarter of ShanVa foundation shares and other documents related to marriage and Forth and Beam's agreement with ShanVa foundation.

Forth and Beam lay in bed after 10 pm. Tired, even after taking a shower to freshen up after an all day and night event.

"What's the next plan, Forth?" Beam asked, staring at the ceiling.

"Hm? Sleep?"

"That's not it, idiot," Beam tilted his body towards Forth and hit his chest lightly. "Tomorrow and beyond, I mean."

Forth tilted his body and lay face to face with Beam. "Tomorrow we return to the dormitory."

"Huh? Whose dorm?"

"You, then me. We're going to pack up our things and move them to our apartment."

"What... our apartemen?"

"Well, of course. We're married, right? How can a married couple live apart? I have this apartemen. I bought it from Phi Grand yesterday. For us to live together."

"Yesterday? Like yesterday, yesterday?"

"Hu um. Why so shock? It was belong to Phi Grand, but now it us. I bought it from him. 40 % discount."

Beam shook his head. "You, rich people were so amazing in transaction things."

Forth just chuckled and pinched Beam's nose.

"Then?" Asked Beam again.

"Hm... we'll think about it later. One by one, Baby. Now, go to sleep."

"But, Forth...."

Forth reached out and pulled Beam into his arms. He kissed Beam's forehead gently and stroked his hair. "Good night, husband."
