ARRANGED MARRIAGE (REVISED VERSION)

Chapter 9

A Week to Remember

Third Person POV

Win was at the graduation ceremony with his parents and, of course, his husband. After three weeks of preparation, he had finally completed his schooling.

"Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn," the teacher called his name.

He marched to the stage to receive his diploma, congratulated by the dean, principal, and supervisor. Afterward, he descended from the stage and ran to where his parents and Bright waited, pride shining in their eyes.

"Congratulations, son," his dad said as Win reached them, pulling him into a hug. "Let's take a picture," Bright suggested, preparing the camera.

They took numerous pictures, capturing the joy of the day, and then headed out for lunch at a nearby restaurant.

Win's parents noticed the change in the couple. They had grown closer, with Bright always taking care of Win and Win serving Bright with affection. Despite the unspoken words, both sets of parents felt happiness for the young couple.

After becoming officially serious in their marriage, Bright and Win found themselves drawing even closer. Bright would look at Win with adoration, stealing kisses and hugs whenever he needed Win's attention amidst the graduation hustle.

Win, in turn, made a point to ensure Bright felt special and loved, promising him a vacation as a graduation gift. They had even decorated their room, deciding to use only one for sleeping while the other served as a closet.

Back at home after lunch with Win's parents, Bright hugged Win from behind. "Congratulations, love," he whispered.

Win turned to Bright, smiling. "Thank you!"

Little did he know, Bright had a surprise waiting for him.

Bright pulled a plane ticket from his pocket, showing it to Win.

"Oh my goodness! A trip to Japan??" Win exclaimed, excitement bubbling over. He jumped and hugged Bright tightly. "Thank you, love!"

"Let's pack our things for tomorrow!" he cheered.

Win's POV

We arrived at Tokyo airport at 4 AM, and I was still in shock from Bright's surprise. He had rented a car for us and drove us to the hotel he booked. I couldn't believe how prepared he was for this trip. I was thrilled, of course.

After checking into our hotel room, we decided to rest before making any plans for our stay.

Bright's POV

After several hours of rest, Win and I decided to explore the area around the hotel to find some food. He had been whining about being hungry.

"I am so hungry already, love!" Win complained.

"That's why we're out here. Calm down, bunny," I said sweetly, finally calming him down. Soon enough, we found a sushi restaurant, which is Win's favorite.

Watching him eat made my appetite grow, and I couldn't help but feel happy seeing him so delighted.

After we finished our meal, we returned to the hotel to take a bath and change clothes.

As I was getting ready, Win suddenly spoke up.

"Babe, you shouldn't have surprised me like this."

"Why? Don't you like it?" I asked, confused.

"It's not that. Well, we should have prepared more. We should plan what we're going to do here or what places to visit in Japan. Right now, I have nothing in mind, and you might get bored with me here at the hotel, thinking you wasted money on me," he pouted.

I stepped closer and kissed his pouty lips. "Babe, it's okay. I never get bored when I'm with you, and don't think of yourself as a waste of money. You're worth so much more. I brought you here to relieve your stress, so just enjoy the atmosphere. We can do what we do back in Thailand."

"Thanks, love. I appreciate everything," he said gratefully, kissing me before continuing. "Then can we go to a theme park later? Right now, I just want to stay in bed. I'm having jet lag."

He threw himself onto the bed, and I shook my head, smiling at his cuteness. I joined him, cuddling him close.

Third Person POV

Later that evening, Bright and Win rented bikes near the hotel and rode them to the theme park, which was buzzing with excitement since they were hosting a fireworks display that night.

Win's excitement was palpable as they bought tickets for the rides. They started with the Vikings and rollercoaster, even playing bumper cars where Bright won a big teddy bear at a shooting game.

"Wow, the view is so beautiful up here, babe," Win said, marveling at the scene from the Ferris wheel.

Bright remained quiet, simply looking at Win with a heart full of love.

Then, as the ride came to a stop, the fireworks began to light up the night sky.

"It's beautiful, love," Win exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's beautiful," Bright echoed, stealing glances at Win, who was smiling brightly.

Win's POV

Finally, we returned to Thailand after a week. Did I mention that I thought we wouldn't have much to do? I was completely wrong.

I underestimated Bright's planning skills. He took me to Disney Sea, and we explored the Imperial Palace, fascinated by its history. We enjoyed the night markets and sampled all kinds of delicious food. Bright even took me to clothing stores with prices far more affordable than the designer ones.

But on our last night, he surprised me with a reservation at a luxurious restaurant. As we sat together, enjoying our meal, we began talking about our future.
