13 - Tine's POV

CHAPTER 13
Tine’s POV
“what did your husband say?” asked Fong as we stroll around the mall shopping for clothes to wear at first day of work. “well it was ok, but I know for sure that he is worried. We bought Phukong with us when we got back.  Eversince we got together, he didn’t want anyone to disturb his life with me. But his mom asked me to take Phukong with us for a while. It’s totally ok with me, but its not the same for Sarawat. I don’t know but he just don’t feel like staying with his brother” “maybe he feels new to it, he moved away since he started college. He got used to a dorm life staying with his friends. He totally don’t have any idea of raising a teenager, but I think that it is a great opportunity to practice becoming responsible for someone else in case you felt like you want to raise an adopted child in the future right?”
For years of being of together, we focused on each other from college till we graduated. We never thought of  having anybody else at home except for the two of us. Will  we really get to the point of being parents to a child? Will he be ok with that?  “do you think that we can handle that? I mean, we are both males. And a child should be raised with a perfect family. Im worried that if ever Sarawat and I really gets ready of raising a child and starts our own family, we might not be able to give the child the gudance necessary” “why are you so negative? It’s 21st century, I thought you were brave enough to forget everyone else and just choose to love when you started dating Sarawat. Look, not because both of  you are males you won’t be able to give that PERFECT FAMILY you are referring too. Straight couples can get separrated and divorced too. It’s all fair and is in the same level. What are you so afraid of?”

Fong could be right..”I don’t want to think about it for now. Sarawat can’t even deal with his younger brother alone. How much more having his own kid?” Fong laughed…  “well who knows? He might want to have one. Look, a kid is a proof of everlasting love to some families. But no rush into it, not because you don’t have one you don’t love each other anymore. Its just my opion, by the way let’s end this conversation about this topic. Did you know what I heard from the friend ii had at the law firm we’re gonna intern at? She said that the head lawyer tends to be so interested in you” “head lawyer? What head lawyer?” “I’ll not spill, you’ll see when we start  working” I brought food to eat at home for dinner after separating with Fong at the mall. He even is sulky because he wants to eat dinner with me. Both Phuek and Ohm is out of the town because of a business trip.  But I have to get back home, who knows what Wat has done to his brother by now.  ‘Babe?” I called as I swipe the key card. I was actually shocked, I found him sitting and watching TV while Phukong doing some research.  “oh, your back from the mall already?” I kissed his forehead as I put down all the shopping bags “you brought food too? I’m so hungry P” said Phukong… “ok, let’s eat dinner now” I prepared the table then we started eating our dinner together “how was back to work?” I asked him “tiring, I was resting for a couple of days with you so it felt new but it was fun, Boss even said he missed me because he got so lonely after Man moved in to phuket with your brother” yeah, its been a while since Man moved in with P’Type.   “yeah? Im glad that you had fun being back at work, how about the first day of the master’s research Phukong.. did you get some ideas about your topic already?” this sounds new.. I mean we look like a complete family now, I feel bigger and heavier responsibilities now. Being Sarawat’s boyfriend, an intern lawyer and now an additional parent to my boyfriend’s brother whom I have to look after as long as he stays with us. It’s a little tiring on the first day doing all of this, specially worrying about 2 persons right now but I feel happy being able to do this for my boyfriend’s family member…
“well I got some ideas now P, but I’ll have to go outside to consider some thoughts about it. Can I go tomorrow?” now I really look like his parent “why ask me? I am not your brother.  Ask Sarawat if  he agrees, “ “I did P, but he said that I should ask for your permission when it comes to going out, hanging out or anything” “who are you going out with?” I asked just in case he goes all alone “P’Mil, he had the same experience since we are from the same faculty. I want to ask for his help”
“yeah? Are you sure that its not a date?” Sarawat asked “you said he should ask for my permission. That means that he is under my custody, so Mr. Sarawat stay out of it”  Sometimes he doesn’t really say anything good.. “ok, go with P’Mil, that’s even better I was worried that  you’d get lost if you’re going all alone. But you should be here before Sarawat does ok? I want all of us to eat altogether” After eating Phukong went to the sofa to play with his phone and Sarawat washed up when I went back to our room. “how was the date with Fong?” he asked after he got changed to his sleep wear ”date? What are you even saying, babe it was not a date we just hanged out” I told him, “I was just kidding. How was the day with Fong come tell me about it” I laid on his arms as I started talking. “well it was fun,  I got clothes even more decent that what I have in my closet. And I updated him about our trip to your parents, I even told him that he took Phukong with us. He said that he can’t wait to hang out together”  “I’m glad that you enjoyed the day with Fong. I mean, you’ve been with me for a couple of days so must really miss your friends” he smiled, but deep within that smile, I know that something worries him.
“what is it exactly Sarawat? I know something is bothering you. Why won’t you just tell me about it? Tell me” “it was fun at work today, I’m a little tired but I’m ok. The thing is, I’m worried. You’ll be working, you won’t have much time to be with me. No one is gonna be there to soothe me when I’m tired, babe don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I am scared that I won’t get used to it like how I expect myself to be. I’ll get sick if I don’t see you when I’m back from work” This guy? He never got over being childish when it’s me we’re talking about.  “what are you talking about Sarawat? Look, no matter what happens I am still your boyfriend. No matter how tired I am I will always soothe you, cook for you and take good care of you and Phukong like always. I am just gonna be out for the day and be back at night, just think of it as me hanging out with friends ok?”
“you think that’s easy? But oh well, I don’t want to be selfish. Law school has been hard and I witnessed how much you have suffered, I don’t want you to waste all that just because of me. And besides, I’m sure that P’Type will kill me I do so, of all the people that surrounds you I know that he is the who is waiting to finally see you become a lawyer”. Well I didn’t study law because I want too, just like how he studied political science when a normal university student could’ve studied music. Maybe I just want to learn law and how it works. I was really curious back then, so maybe that was the reason for it, no particular importance involved. But even so, I think P’Type is exited to finally see me work in the Law industry because he is the one who always show support in me even before I met Sarawat, and even until I moved in with him.
“I think it’s funny Wat, maybe you love me much more than I love you. Or it could be that you maybe older but you are just childish around be because you want me to soothe you forever” I laughed seeing his reactions to what I’m saying “what are you talking about?” he asked. “look, you haven’t started internship quite long. But the day you started working, I felt so happy that you’re starting to finally live your life rather than feeling jealous that you would be exposed to different kinds of people or feel lonely that I’ll be alone in the day time. How come that your reaction is different?”  I asked him, but he turned the stern face again as if he’s mad or sad about anything…

“of course there is a very big difference, Tine. You were already used that I was exposed to peolple all the time. You know how well known I was in college and how I gained attention from people even when I am doing nothing. You are also well aware how my highschool life was called THE LAW OF ATTRACTION even when I’m trying to keep a lowkey life. Me being in the eyes of people is ok for you, but it is not for me. I’m ok with you having tons of friends because I can’t blame them, you are just adorable. But our reactions will be different, we’ve been together since college everytime you went out drinking I am always there. But now that your gonna work, I can’t join company outings, who knows what will happen to you?”  
“stop being such a paranoid will you? It’s just the same for me. As you said back in college days wherever I go drinking or wherever you go play we were there looking after each other. But Wat, we can’t do that anymore… in order to make our adult lives work we have to undergo this. But not looking after what each other does every second of the day doesn’t mean we love each other less right? You have to be fair with me and trust me as much as I trust you. Mmm?”

“ok, I’ll try everything. I’ll do my best to be able to adjust for you because I love you so much”. That’s right, I believe that if we just love each other lesser time of seeing each other everyday won’t be a bother.. “I’m tired, let’s go to sleep now ok?” I hugged him and went to sleep…  As I open my eyes again,  I smelled something I felt bad so I just washed my face and ran out quickly.  “what are you guys doing?” I saw the of them cooking in the kitchen “cooking P,  I heard from P’Wat that it’s your first day today so we both planned to wake up early to cook for you. It’s also to wish you luck on your first day as an intern at a law firm” he smiled brightly…
“and to give an oath that you can trust so you won’t get worried while you are not home” said Sarawat “oath? Like a promise? Yeah tell me what is it?” “I Sarawat promise to take care of our place, keep it in order, take care of my brother and understand him as much as I can so my wife can focus with work and will not worry about us” “what kind of oath is that?”  I laughed “I, Phukong Gunthithanon promise you P’Tine Teepakorn that I will help my older brother take care of the house, keep it in order, follow my older brother’s orders as long it’s reasonable and to never pick a fight with him so you can focus on work and will not worry”
“are you guys kidding me? What kind of oath is that? But anyways, I’ll give you my trust that you won’t go against what you have promised me. There will be a severe punishment if you do so but I won’t tell you what it is. For now, I will not worry that I’ll get back home and the house is messy and you both killed each other ok, thanks for cooking for me.. let’s eat together, I hope this tastes great”
