Gap:Eternity (English version)

Chapter 16: Tee

 The day that all of us had been looking forward to, had finally arrived; the wedding of P'Tee and Yuki. As per planned, I would be a bride maid for Yuki. The color theme decided for the event was white and blue. Friends of P'Tee would be wearing white gown while those me being on Yuki's side would be wearing a blue gown which was made beautifully.

 Khun Sam had been waiting for me in her car since three in the morning for us to head down to the hotel where the wedding would be taking place for a makeover. She had worn her white gown and let down her hair which had already reached her neck. I could not help admiring her beauty the moment I saw her standing by her car with her arms crossed. It seemed that no matter what she wears, she would always look beautiful in my eyes.

"Did you have to wait for a long time?" I asked upon reaching her car. She turned and scrutinized me for a while.

"No. You're right on time" She replied sarcastically.

"Thank You" I said happily.

"And pretty" she added.

"Ok" I answered.

"And pretty" she pressed on.

"Thank you" I replied while frowning confusingly at her.

"Pretty" she said again.

"Huh?" I shot back

"Say pretty" she insisted. Finally, I understood what she wanted.

"You are also pretty" I remarked with a smile.

"Very well then, let's go into the car" she replied while opening her car's door satisfied that she finally got what she wanted.

 We drove in silence as it seemed that we did not have any topic to talk about, only the sound of the car's engine could be heard.

"Talk to me" Khun Sam shrieked thus breaking the silence between us.

"Huh?" I replied.

"It's too quiet so talk to me" Khun Sam repeated while tighten her grip on the steering wheel.

 As much as she did not want the situation between us to be so bleak, neither do I. However, I was unsure on how to start a conversation with her. It felt as if everything about her was the same as the Khun Sam that I used to know except that she had forgotten about me. I could see that she was trying her best to get me to move in back with her.

"Don't you get tired of chasing me around?" I inquired.

She turned her head to face me and it seemed as if she was thinking of how to answer my question then she took a deep breath and answered me.

"Why would I get tired? Aren't you my girlfriend? So it's my duty to have to do it"

"You don't have to do it as it's not your duty to do so. We being lovers are just a situation. We need to have love and trust, only then everything will move on its own. We don't need to keep forcing ourselves" I explained.

"No" she snapped.

"I really want to do it" she added.

"So you mean that just because I'm your girlfriend, you regard it as a duty?" I clarified.

"Yes. Just like and in addition to that, I'm willing to do it" she replied simply.

 Her answer was enough to make me smile. I could feel that she was sincere in her actions in fact, she was much more outspoken then she used to be. I guessed at least now we were at a better place than before.

"Do you find a woman-to-woman's marriage is strange?" Khun Sam suddenly asked.

"No. Why is it weird? It's still love. They want to have the same rights as a heterosexual couple." I clarified.
