Aroon looks at himself in the mirror. He felt excited as well as nervous. This is the first time he has taken effort to dress himself. Today he even wore the contact lens that he hated so much. He closes his eyes and composes himself.

Aroon: You can doing Oon.

He picks his bag and heads out of his room to the living room where his mom and sister is waiting for him to have breakfast. As he descends down the stairs, he hears a loud clattering sound and he looks ahead to find his sister staring at him with her mouth hanging low. She then starts shouting.

Anong: Mom, mom, come here quickly

Anong: Mom, mom, come here quickly.

His mom comes rushing out of the kitchen.

Aroon's mom: What, what's wrong? Why are you shouting?

Anong: Aroon..

Aroon's mom: What happened to Aroon? What happened to my baby? Ar..

Anong clamps her and turns her to face the stairs. The ladle in her hand drops with a clink as she stares at her son. She tries to say something but it comes out muffled due to the hand on her mouth. She quickly pries the hand off her mouth and speaks.

Aroon's mom: Is that really you Aroon? Wow!!!!

Aroon: Mae...

Aroon's mom: I didn't know my son is so handsome.

Aroon blushes and looks away feeling shy.

Anong: I think someone's mind is going to blow up today.

Aroon: Pèeeee

Aroon's mom: Huh? Whose mind?

Anong: I was talking about the poor boys and girls in his office.

Aroon's mom: Oh!!! But don't forget your getting engaged this Sunday. Atid will get jealous if others flirt with you.

Anong: That's what we want.

Aroon's mom: What?

Anong: I was saying he knows his limits.

Aroon's mom: Good. Then let's have breakfast.

Aroon: Hmm

They have their breakfast chitchatting and Anong teasing her brother. He finally finish his his breakfast and heads to the office.

In Chanthara Technologies:

Aroon could feel eyes on him as soon as he enters the building. He pulls the hem of his shirt nervously. He is about to walk towards the lift, when an arm wraps around his shoulder possessively. He tenses up but relaxes on hearing the familiar cheerful voice.

Aroon: Niran

Niran: Yes, Niran, you one and only bestfriend.

Someone smacks his head from behind and he turns around with a groan. Kiet stood before him with an angry expression.

Kiet: If you are one and only bestfriend, who am I?

Niran: Sorry

Niran looks at Kiet sheepishly while Aroon let's out a chuckle.

Aroon: You both are my bestfriends. Now let's go before we get late.

Niran: Hmm

All three of them get into the lift and heads towards their floor. As they enter their office space, they could feel everyones eyes on them.

Aroon: Why are they looking at us like this?

Niran: Oh no, they are not looking at us but they are staring at you.

Aroon: Huh?

Kiet: Niran is right. You are looking hot today Aroon.

Aroon: Yaa, stop teasing me both if you.

Niran: If you don't believe us, just wait and watch. Our training manager Mr.Dew Jirawat is coming this way and his smile does not look friendly to me.

Dew: Goodmorning guys.

Aroon: Goodmorning Mr.Jirawat.

Dew: Please call me Dew.

Aroon smiles awkwardly as Dew's eyes were on him while saying that.

Dew: Guys if you don't mind, I would like to speak to Aroon for a few minutes.

Niran: Okay.

Niran and Kiet quickly walks towards their seats leaving behind Aroon and Dew.

Dew: Can we speak over a cup of coffee?

Aroon: Hmm

They move to the break out area while Niran and Kiet look at them walk away with wide eyes.

Niran: This is not good.

Kiet: Hmm. I hope Aroon handles the situation well.

Niran: Hmm

Meanwhile inside the breakout area:

Aroon and Dew sits across each other drinking their coffee in silence. It's been 5 minutes since they came here but no one spoke a word. Aroon finally decides to break the silence as it was getting too awkward for him.

Aroon: PDew, you wanted to say something to me.

Dew looks at Aroon nervously.

Dew: I....I like you Aroon. I have liked you since I first saw you.

Aroon: But PDew, I..

Dew: I know you are engaged to our CEO but I could not stop my heart from falling in love with you.

Aroon: I am getting engaged this Sunday.

Dew: But it's an arranged marriage. You don't love him. Can't you give me a chance?

Aroon: I am sorry P.

Dew: Would you have accepted my proposal if it was before your marriage got fixed?

Aroon: No.

Dew: Why?

Aroon: Because you are not PAtid.

Aroon walks out of the room not even looking back once.

Aroon: Where are you PAtid? I dressed up for you but you are only one who hasn't looked at me even once.

"Mr. Ananada"

Aroon's steps halt on hearing that familiar voice he has been waiting to hear since morning. He slowly turns around and comes face to face with the fierce eyes that he loves so much. They stand there looking at each other without saying a word. Atid then brings his mouth close to Aroon's ears and whispers.

Atid: I hate people looking at what is mine. We are going to get engaged in 2 days. Do you still want to marry me?

Atid moves his head backwards and looks at Aroon's face for an answer. Aroon nods his head as no sound comes out of his mouth. A smile appears on Atid's face.

Atid: Then be ready to be mine.

Aroon stands there stunned while Atid walks away from there with a smile on his face.

Atid: Hey

Aroon turns around to look at Atid who is standing at a distance.

Atid: You look hot today, Babe.

Atid chuckles on seeing Aroon's stunned expression. He blows a kiss and walks away from there.
