Till Death Do Us Apart

Chapter 19

Singto and Krist both arrive at Thailand International Airport or Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Short vacay to Maldives such a beautiful memories to them. They were walking out of the airport, holding hands and smiling. When they see New, who is leaning on the car door, they both walk straight to him. And one of Singto's butlers is following them as they take their bags. "Is it short vacay or honeymoon? And do you stay at resort or forest Krist?" ask New while raised his eyebrows.

Krist gives him an odd look. He had no idea what New was saying. New gestures with his finger to his neck. Krist quickly understood and fixed his jacket with a single short gesture. He tries to conceal his bite mark. "How do you imagine people spend their honeymoon?" Singto replied, smiling proudly the art the he making into Krist neck. Krist elbow Singto in the stomach. Krist's face is already as red as a tomato. New gestured with his hand that he was lost to Singto.

"The person who was supposed to be here is currently attending a meeting. So that's why I'm here, even though you didn't ask why I'm here." New saying before entering the car. He takes the seat next to the driver, while Singto and Krist sit in the back. "Have you and Tay made any progress?" Singto inquires. Both New and Krist exclaimed. How the hell Singto did knows about that. "Did both of you realise that I know your group chat that include Gun? And I don't need Krist to tell me about it. Because I know everything" Singto respond quickly.

"It'd be weirder if you didn't know anything," New muffled. "What?" Krist ask, he did feel New saying something, but he did not hear it. "Nothing. We are good friend. But more than that... I'm not sure As long as we feel comfortable around each other, I thinks it's enough. Only for the time being," responds New. Yes, they are now friends. Who knows, maybe it'll be more in the future. The ride was then completely silent.

When they arrived home, Gun was waiting for them upstairs. "Phi.. I really miss you... Did you bring something for me?" Gun inquires happily. "I'm glad to hear you're happier now than you were before. Ask Krist. He brought something for you," Singto responds. He took a seat next to New on the sofa. And both of them are staring at Gun, who is happily opening the gift Krist brought for him.

"You know, when people return from their honeymoons, they look happier and their faces glow. But you look like a shit who just stepped on mine. 'What happened?' New ask. "Nothing," Singto replied, shaking his head. "I'm just afraid of the future." After spending time with those brother, New excused himself.

"Baby.. I need to meet with my subordinate right now. You can sleep first," Singto says. Singto goes out to meet Toy, his private investigator, after Krist gives his approval.

"Any news?" ask Singto without wasting time. Right now, he feels like trapped in ticking bomb. Anytime, it will exploded. "I found out a few days ago that Off and New, your friend, was talking about those men who attack Gun. He did a background check on them and discovered that they or their parents used to work for your father. And the parents are currently in jail," Toy responds. Hearing that this is related to his father shocked Singto.

Toy added again, "And as for Tay Tawan, it turned out that you're uncle hired him. Also, investigate about this things too. But you don't have to worry. So far, the information that he gets is the basic one. I'll let you know, if he found anything else." Singto gave a nod.

"You know, right now, I feel scare. Scare of the what's gonna happen" Singto expressed his concern. The deeper he delves into the past, the more he realises he cannot simply trust anyone. And everything is connected in some way. "Ohh.. And one more things, do background check on Krist to. Everything" ask Singto. Toy raised his eyebrows, "You mean Krist, your boyfriend?" ask Toy for confirmation. Singto nodded, "I feel like we know each other way before the orientation during his freshmen year. Not sure if we ever met, but... it just... you know what? Just do it." It's hard for him to explain. For now, it's just assumption. Well, he hope it's not true.

"Is there anything else, sir?" Toy inquires. Singto rubbed his face in frustration. "If there's nothing, I will go now. Just a piece of advice: no matter how painful the past has been, shouldn't we just forgive and move on? After all, regardless of how painful the past is, what matters is the present. If we continue to look back in time, we will be trapped by space-time indefinitely. What matters is how we forgive the past and live in the present for the sake of the future," Toy said before excused himself. And the advice stuck with Singto. Was it he who was trapped in space-time and not them?

"When is phi Singto coming home?" Gun inquires. He noticed that phi Singto does not go out with phi Krist. Krist shook his head. He and Gun are both watching a movie in the living room. "Then... "Can I tell you something?" asks Gun once more. Krist simply nodded as Gun continued to speak, "Well... I'm in a relationship with Papi. I just realised I'm going to let you know first, before phi Singto." "Tell me about it. Don't leave anything behind " Krist said, turning his entire body to face Gun.

Gun told him everything, including where Papi is drunk, and the confession was followed by kissing in the next morning. Everything. "You can't keep it a secret from Singto. You both must inform him. Its better he hears it from both of you than from anyone else," Krist says. He is concerned that Singto will oppose their relationship. "Never give up if Singto ever opposes your relationship. Prove to him that you're truly made for each other," Krist added again.

"Hum.. I promise. Thank you phi Krist" said Gun and hug phi Krist. 'Please protect this little angel God' Krist heart wondered.
