25 - Tine's POV

CHAPTER 25
Tine’s POV
The whole day passed by fast. It’s tomorrow, the day that I had been so nervous about. I mean who woudn’t  right? We slept early because we were all so tired from every activity that we did today. It’s so tiring but atleast we get to be productive today like always. As I wake up, the sun brightly showed at my face like it’s telling me that it’s gonna be ok and that there is nothing to worry about what is yet to happen today. “P, what time are they gonna arrive today?” “around noon time Tine, I already booked a restaurant near the airport so we can all eat before coming here since it’s quite far. Let’s have breakfast and take a shower so we can all go to the airport” Sarawat and I went back to our room.
“babe, tell me what shall I wear?” “why would you ask me? You’re better at that more than me. Whatever is fine” I answered “yeah right. I’ll just go for a simple look, we aren’t gonna attend a party after all. I just want to look decent too” he smiled “take your time, I’ll go shower first” he nodded and I just went in the cr. After taking a hot bath, I saw that he hasn’t decided yet. “it’s just clothes Sarawat! Why are you taking ages to decide what to wear?” “today is different from all those other days Tine. I am meeting the persons who raised the one I love so much. How can I not take ages to decide on what to wear?”
“yeah I get that. But you’ll lose all the time we have if you continue doing that. You know what? I’ll just choose for you, take a shower now” he nodded and left his clothes at the bed. After choosing a simple outfit for him, I left the room to check on Phukong “Phukong! Are you done?” I shouted outside of his room “yes P, come in. check my clothes out. Is this ok?” “oooh, that’s so cute. It represents your youth just fine.  You look great” “really P? P’Mil helped me choose it” he laughed shyly “yeah? You still had time to call him at this hour? You look like a homesick puppy”
“why not P? I always ask for his help when it comes to clothes. I mean, he knows better and he is so good at looking great so I am pretty sure that he can help me” “that’s a fact, but I am not a boyfriend good in style like P’Mil. Why does your brother have to ask me about what clothes is he supposed to wear?” “he’s nervous P, understand him. He wants to look his best in meeting your parents and I get that since I onced felt the same. I am sure that he just wants to impress your parents by looking extra extra special and handsome. That’s normal, maybe he wants to be most handsome today and he is on all the other days and all the other occasions”
“well, I get that too.. but sometimes it bothers me too”

After breakfast, we all rode P’Type’s mini van and went on to a long drive to the airport at the city. On the way, I can’t help but observe how everyone is nervous including Sarawat who didn’t even sat beside me. But instead sat at the back with Man, I sat with P’Type while Phukong sat beside the driver. “don’t worry, Sarawat is just fine. I am pretty sure that he also just want to ask about how Man is feeling since they are in the same position. Don’t worry about it Tine, it’s ok..” I just nodded. After a little while I didn’t even noticed that I dozed off during the ride.
“babe, we’re here” Sarwat woke me up “uh, sorry.. I fell asleep” “it’s ok. Let’s go? Everyone is waiting for you in the lobby. Your parents are gonna land off in 20 minutes. Are you ready?” “how can I not be? I have to be ready and ok for this Sarawat.. let’s go” I held his hand and went inside together. After minutes, we already saw them rushing towards us. Mom and dad didn’t age at all after all this years. It’s still the same as the last time they came back. “mom” P’Type hugged mom and dad “oh, my Type has grown a lot” I followed him and hugged mom and dad too “Tine, I missed you my dear” mom said “I missed you so much too mom. How was the flight?”
“your mommy got dizzy. Nothing serious just signs of aging” dad teased “so?” mom gave us the sign to introduce our boyfriends “uh, mom, dad this is Man. Uhm, my boyfriend” they were blank but still reacted “nice to meet you, uncle and aunt” “nice to meet you too, Man” dad’s voice started to sound cold and angry at the same time “mom, dad, this is Sarawat my boyfriend and Phukong his younger brother who lives with us” “nice to meet you uncle, aunt” they both did their WAI (wai is the bow they do in Thailand to greet other people) “uhm, nice to meet you Sarawat and Phukong. Let’s stop at that for now, I heard Man booked a near restaurant for all of us to settle down and eat first since it’s quite a long drive. Let’s go eat now”
Dad’s voice really sounds cold but atleast he doesn’t look mad and even asked us to eat altogether. As we arrived at the area, we looked for our table and started ordering. After that we waited for our order to arrive “uh dad…” “I want to rest after this Type. Your mom and I both had a very long flight and another long way drive to you and uhm, your boyfriend’s place. So let’s talk about all this explinations tomorrow. Ok?” “yes dad” we both replied, maybe he is not angry, maybe he’s just so tired. I hope his face expression changes tomorrow.
Sarawat’s face can’t be described anymore, and  I am getting scared for him. I hope dad’s mood changes overnight after resting. So that we can all talk peacefully and understand each other tomorrow… I hope everything turns out just fine.  Just that after eating, we drove back to P’Type’s place which was really quite far. When we arrived it was already time for dinner “mom, dad, P’Type and I will cook dinner” I told them “yeah? You can now cook after both having a lover” mom teased us “no, they should’ve learned cooking from the start. I guess we just didn’t urge them to do so” dad added “go on honey, cook. Mom can’t wait to taste it, spend some time asking your partners to help you. Your dad and I will just take a quick shower and get down after” mom smiled “Tine, you can ask them for asstistance. I’ll take mom and dad to their room” I nodded and asked Sarawat, Man and Phukong to follow me. “P, I feel like taking a dump being near to your parents. I feel like their mood changes minute to minute” Phukong said as he washes the ingredients.
“yeah, usually dad has always been on cold a mood. I guess nothing changed,  mom sometimes sound nice but looks angry too. My parent’s are weird aren’t they?” “actually Tine,  think your dad is still processing everything he just saw that is why he told P’Type to talk about it tomorrow. He must’ve been mad, don’t you think?” Man asked “that’s normal, he just saw two guys dating another two guys. Even if those two guys aren’t related to him, he must’ve been shocked. What more if they’re his sons? Just thank God that we’re given a chance to analyze them too” added Sarawat
“we don’t really have to study them in order to impress them. I think that we should just be ourselves and show our purity as a person and to their sons” said Man “I’m so hungry P, I feel like going down the drain. Can’t you guys just talk later? I’m a little tired and so hungry” nagged Phukong “mmm, I’m cooking now. You guys help me set the table neatly and as nice as possible ok? My mom has keen eyes for table manners and this kinds of things. So if you want to impress her, you must know this common thing”  they all left for the sala after I said that, are they exited or what?
Actually I am not that great at cooking, I just experienced and learned to cook a few for my boyfriend to tends to ask me to cook for him almost everytime. So I can’t really cook michellin star dishes. In the middle of stewing pork, P’Type came to the kitchen with mom. “I am proud of you honey, you seem to have grown a lot after your dad and was gone” said mom “you seem to be so focused” teased P’Type “where’s dad?” I asked “he decided to take a nap and skip dinner he said he’s tired. So only mom is with us.” “since when did you learn to cook?” asked mom “well, P’Type and I had to learn this kinds of things, mom. We lived seperately after I graduated in highschool. And we can’t buy food all the time, actually I am not really a great cook. Only I can stand the taste of my cooking in the past. My cooking just started to get better when I moved in with my boyfriend, he knew that I cook aweful food but he still wants me to cook for him. As years passed by, those practices have made me better. So my cooking can be eaten by humans now” we laughed “mmm, Type told me the same when I asked him about his cooking.  You know what? Your partners seems to work hard to impress me”

“well, why not mom? They wanted to be accepted by you and dad” said P’Type “you know what? Type, Tine I don’t have any serious issues about this. When I found out it was hard on me. But when I saw those smiles on your faces, I did not dare to ask because I can totally see how much they have made my sons happy. And knowing that you are improving yourselves for them made me realize that they must’ve been a really great influence in you guys on a positive way. I don’t require any gender to welcome anyone in this family, if they make you guys happy and loves you like your dad and I does then there is nothing for me to ask for.”
“really mom? Thank you. I hope dad thinks the same” I said “you don’t have to thank me Tine, you are my Tine and Type is my Type. I brought you guys in this world to express how happy I am to have you in my life even if I am so busy making money for you guys that doesn’t mean that I love you less. Accepting those people who wants to love you too is a pleasure to me. It’s a pleasure to every mom that another person has seen and appreciates the existence of her child. That’s one of the biggest gifts I could ever receive. But on the other hand, I totally understand your dad too. He has a company image. He has been bragging how great his sons are, for sure he will be mad and I know that you know that. But he is not gonna be mad because he disgusts the fact all of his sons are gays. He’s gonna be mad, because you didn’t let him know beforehand and he doesn’t know how to protect you when other people finds out. You guys being in a relationship with someoene in the same gender is not what your dad is worried about. It’s the fact that people out there might say something and he won’t be able to bear that. Actually I have been telling him not to worry about you guys for you are old enough, I am sure that you guys are planning to officially start your life with these persons that you brought for us to meet.  But your dad thinks that how can he not worry, even if you guys turn 50 years old he will still worry for you. Yes, some say that what other people say just don’t matter but to your dad it does. Because he doesn’t want you guys to be surrounded with people who hates you. So if he ever gets mad tomorrow, don’t take it the other way ok? He is just worried. And you have to solve that, you have to come up with a way to make him stop worrying. Your boyfriends don’t have to prove themselves because I am sure your dad has already seen their worth without having them do anything. You just to make your dad not think about all the consequences there is, in this kind of relationships. In the first place, what the people might say is what he has always been concerned off, because if he was really against it Tine couldn’t have been living in one roof with his boyfriend. Your dad knows all of your movements here, it’s him who updates me about you guys. If he really hated what you did, he could’ve picked you up himself and made you stay with us even before your feelings has deepen.  He could’ve made you work in the company but he didn’t right? Because everything is just ok with him. So don’t worry if he gets mad tomorrow”
