Veera starts the car and drives away from the office.

Tanet: Now can you tell where are we going.

Veera: No. It's a surprise.

Tanet just looks at Veera with a pout while Veera laughs in amazement at his childish behavior.

Veera: Just take a nap and I will call you once we reach there.

Tanet: Hmm

Tanet lays back on his seat and closes his eyes. Soon he drifts into a deep sleep. Veera smiles looking at Tanet sleeping like a baby.

Veera: Cute

An hour later, Tanet wakes up in an empty car. He looks around in panic. He quickly gets out of the car and starts searching for Veera.

"Looking for me"

Tanet looks behind and saw Veera standing there looking at the sea. Tanet ran towards Veera and hugged him tightly. Veera felt his shirt getting wet and he quickly pulled Tanet away from him to check why he was crying.

Veera: Hey, why are you crying?

Tanet: Why did you leave me alone?

Veera: You were in deep sleep when we reached here. So I thought of not waking you up for some more time.

Tanet: I thought... I thought...

Veera: That I left you.

Tanet nods his head.

Veera: Not happening. At least not in this lifetime. Unless you asked me to.

Tears start flowing down Tanet's eyes once again.

Veera: Tanet, please stop crying. It hurts so bad when I see those tears.

He quickly wipes his tears and tries to smile at Veera.

Veera: That's my cute little boy.

Tanet: Hey...How can you call a giant like me as little?

Veera: Sorry my giant baby.

Tanet blushes on hearing Veera calling him baby. Veera smiles on seeing Tanet's cute reaction.Tanet suddenly realizes that it is quiet around them. He looks around and was stunned by the scene before him.

Tanet: Where are we?

Veera: Bang Po. This is our family beach house.

Tanet was awed by the house and the location

Tanet: What is this?

Veera: Our first date.

A smile appears on Tanet's face on seeing Veera's effort to set up the date.

Tanet: It's beautiful.

Veera: Anything for you baby.

Tanet blushes once again on hearing the word baby.

Veera: Come. Let's go and enjoy our date.

Veera takes Tanet down to the area where they have set up everything for the date. He then makes him sit down and brings over a glass of wine for both of them. They both sit back relaxed and watch the sunset.

Tanet: It's beautiful. It's been a while since I took time out for myself.

Veera: I know. This is a gift for all your hard work.

Tanet moves closer to Veera and lays his head on his shoulder. Veera wraps his arm around Tanet and pulls him closer.

Tanet: Thank you.

Veera: For what?

Tanet: Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for holding my hand when I needed someone the most. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Veera: I should be the one thanking you for coming into my life. I never knew how much I can love someone until you came into my life.

Happy tears form in Tanet's eyes as he hugs Veera tight. They sit like that for a long time watching the sunset and enjoying their date.The sun has already set and darkness started to engulf them but even in this darkness, they felt comfort in each other's embrace. The candlelight gives them a romantic ambiance. Veera slowly turned his head to look at Tanet who seem to be lost in his thoughts.

Veera: What are you thinking?

Tanet: About us.

Veera: What about us?

Tanet: That how we did not even know about each other's existence until a couple of months back and now our lives have merged into each other so much that I cannot even think of a life without you.

Veera: Are you sure we never knew about each other?

Tanet: What do you mean?

Veera gets out his wallet and takes out a piece of paper and gives it to Tanet. It was an old photo. Tanet was shocked to see the photo.

Tanet: That's...

Veera: You and the other one are me.

Tanet: How?

Veera: Well, my dad used to work as a bodyguard when I was a kid. He was assigned as your dad's bodyguard at that time and that's how we met. My dad said he was invited to your house party along with his family and that's how I met you. He was working with a different client when your parent's accident happened. When years later he got a security service request from your company, he did a background check and that's how he found out who you are. He immediately decided to accept your request because he respected and liked your parents a lot.

Tanet: Oh. What a coincidence?

Veera: When I told my parents that I like you, they started laughing. They said that I was smitten with you since childhood. So technically speaking, you are my first love.

Tanet's face turns red blushing.

Veera: Tanet

Tanetl: Hmm

Veera: Can I kiss you?

Tanet looks at Veera but does not say anything.

Veera: If you are not okay, then we...

Tanet suddenly pulls Veera towards him and kisses him hard on his lips. He then hides his face in Veera's chest unable to look into his eyes. Veera slowly rises to Tanet's face and kisses him slowly. Soon the kiss turns hot and demanding. They break away from each other when it felt hard to breathe. Veera looks at Tanet with love as he looks down blushing. Veera sweeps Tanet off his feet and carries him bridal style into the house.
