Fortuitous

Fortuitous - 10

The next morning...

Kong woke up to the sound of a small yelp caused by someone falling. Looking around the surrounding, he realized he is not in his room. He was brought to earth when he saw Arthit struggling to stand up from the floor. Slowly the events of the previous night unfolded in front of him. He sat there scared, wondering about Arthit's reaction.

Another groan from Arthit made Kong jump off the bed and run to help Arthit. He helped Arthit to stand up and made him sit on the bed.

Arthit was not able to look up into Kong's eyes. He too was worried about Kong's reaction.

"Oon...." "P...." – Both called for each other at the same.

"Go ahead P. You tell me"

"Oon, I am really sorry for my behavior. Even though the trigger for what happened was the drink I had at the party, I will not defend myself by blaming the drink. I guess... No, I was aware of what I was doing. When I did not see you rejecting me, I could not hold back. I don't hold any remorse for what happened, Oon. I truly hope you too don't regret it and give us a chance Oon. I know this moment is not exactly a confession, but please Oon, can you give me a chance to court you and be yours?"

To say, Arthit was delighted will be an honest feeling. His P'Kong just confessed to him in the weirdest situation. He feared the rejection and remorse that his P might feel about the incident. He was aware that another firm final pushback from him during the night might have made his P stop the activities. Arthit did not do that as he too wanted it to happen. He felt he was taking advantage of his P getting slightly drunk. Now hearing his P professing his love for him, Arthit is happy.

"P'Kong", Arthit called shyly and continued.

"I don't regret P. I don't regret anything..."Arthit whispered only for Kong to hear. 

He then continued: "Since we are confessing, I too need to tell you this. On the day when I was about to confess my love interest and crush on you to my parents and ask for their help, I heard some talks about your marriage with P'Thun. You know P, I had prepared myself with a big long speech to present in front of my parents so that they will agree for our marriage. But when I heard about your wedding, I was shattered and broken. I did not mention anything to anyone about my feeling and decided as long as you were happy, I chose to be content with it.

 Then when aunty came to get me to stay here and told me I can do whatever I want and can to bring you back, I won't deny a small hope re-kindled in me. Maybe this time I will be able to confess my love to you and you will accept me.

So, P, will you accept this lovely Nong of yours; as your irritating other half for this life? 😉" - Arthit confessed.

"Yes, Oon – thousand times Yes." - and Kong rushed in to hug his Oon and kissed his forehead. 

Kong then squeezed both of them into a snuggle and sat on Arthit's bed reliving all that happened in a span of mere hours.

In those moments of cuddling, Kong realized what Thun mentioned about Arthit being his true love. Kong felt like Arthit was his home, the one who truly completes him.

Arthit too was in his own world, wondering if all that happened was a dream.

Stud POV:

"Finally, it is time to put a stop to "Kong this, Kong that". When mom and dad see P'Kong drunk then they will lean on me." With this thought, Stud went to open Kong's room.

"Where is P'Kong? Stud was surprised to find the room empty. He needs to find Kong; else all his plans will fail. He was anxious and quickly went out to look for Kong around the house.
