"Is that your crush, dearest brother?" Tong asked while pointing at someone who was already seated on the dining table.
As usual, the charity event at Sunshine ran smoothly. The kids were over the moon with Tong quirkiness in his absurd but unique story telling. Who cares if Tong's stories were absurd, right? As long as the kids enjoy it. Pol did a great job in playing doctors with them. And Tong knew that his boyfriend already wants to give out scholarship to the Sunshine's kids who really want to pursue medical degree in the future. If Pol was busy planning scholarship for medical degree, Jeff and Barcode were busy looking for talents. The lovebirds really be doing mini talent scouting events. Surprisingly, a lot of Sunshine's kids had great voices.
"Hm. He's Apo,"
"Wow, you know him?"
"Only by his name though," shrugged Mile.
"Are you going to make a move? If not, I'm going to adopt him under my wings," grinned Tong.
"He's an adult, Tong. Plus, he's Uncle Chan adopted son,"
"Kids, let's move to the table. The lunch will be served soon," Mrs. Romsaithong ushered her sons and their boyfriends. Her husband already seated on the table with Chan. They immediately took their seats, and Mile was seating across Apo. Big was also there, sat beside Apo.
"Thank you for being here with us today, Rom," said Chan, extending gratitude on behalf of the orphanages.
"Stop being a sappy man, dude. I am willing to terrorize this orphanage even without your invitation," said Mr. Romsaithong. They laughed at the remarks.
Rumors circulating that Chan used to work with Mr. Romsaithong as his personal bodyguard during their young age. But, nobody knows the reasons why Chan resigned and established an orphanage instead.
"But still, thank you for the help though. May The Romsaithong keep being blessed with endless wealth and health," Chan toasted. The other followed suit, clinking their glasses together.
The caterers started to serve their lunch. The kids were having lunch in the establishment's large dining hall. All of them were having the same menu as the guests. One thing about Chan, he never let the kids having to eat something less then him. If he was having roasted chicken, then the kids will have roasted chicken too. Just because the kids were from unfortunate backgrounds, it did not mean they should be treated less. He loved it when the kids chomping down their meals. At least in the kids' simple minds, they did not have to worry about skipping meals.
They were having their dessert when Mr. Romsaithong dropped the bombs.
"Kids, I have something to announce,". Mr Romsaithong looked at Chan. He nodded.
"As we all know, Mile is currently single. Chan also has a single son. Chan and me have discussed. We are planning to arrange a marriage between my son, Mile and Chan's son, Apo,"
"Pa?" Mile was dumbfounded. Apo was calm. Tong was still processing the information. Jeff could not careless. As long as it did not involve him and Barcode, then he was fine. Mrs. Romsaithong, Pol and Barcode were calm though.
"I'm sorry if this is so sudden but I think both of you will make a great couple," said Mr. Romsaithong.
"Apo, Mile, bear in mind that we are not forcing you. We are just suggesting. In the end, we will respect both of your decisions, regardless," Chan added.
Mile looked at Apo. The guy in front of him was so calm that he scared Mile.
"I appreciate your suggestions, father, Mr. Romsaithong. However, I cannot give the definite answer just yet. I guess, it would be nice if I could talk with Mile in private?" said Apo. Mr. Romsaithong smiled at Apo's request.
"Go ahead, Apo. Take as much time as both of you needed," he said. Apo smiled.
"So Mile, shall we?"
*****
Apo brought Mile to a small garden, not so far from their eating place. Mile was nervous. He was still processing whatever his papa said. Since when did his papa started to meddle with his love life?
"I take that you did not know about their plan at all," said Apo.
"Huh? Ah, yes. I sincerely did not know anything about this sudden proposal. I'm truly sorry if it makes you uncomfortable," said Mile. Apo just smiled in return.
"Chan told me this morning, before you guys arrived. I was shocked and confused too, just like you,"
"Am I too obvious?" Mile sheepishly asked.
"Well, the blank looks on your face is crystal clear,"
"I'm sorry,"
They both fall into silence. Apo kept looking into distance. Mile too.
"Are you okay with this?" Mile decided to ask.
"Hm? This arrange marriage things?"
Mile nodded.
"I'm not against it but I also not fond of it,"
"I'm also not against it. But I'll let you decide. If you don't want it, then we will tell them," said Mile.
"You sure you are okay? I know you have a crush on me, Mile,"
Mile coughed. Shit, was he that obvious?
Apo chuckled.
"Big wasn't subtle enough. I guess you should know about it too. Me too, have a crush on you, Mile," confessed Apo.
"Are you serious?" Mile's heart was going to burst. Apo liked him too!
"Yes, I am. When Chan told me this morning, I was thinking. Maybe this is how fate wants to reunite us?"
"Apo, are you really okay with this marriage?"
"I'm not sure, Mile. I'm afraid, yes. We never talked to each other until just now. We do like each other but are we capable of loving each other in the future, though?"
Apo was wrong. Mile was already in love with Apo. Mile decided to keep the information to himself, for now.
"We could try?"
"Then what? If we cannot love each other, we just file for divorce? Mile, I don't want to be a divorcee,"
"We don't have to necessarily ended up divorcing each other," Mile reluctantly answered. To be honest, he did not have concrete answer to Apo's question.
"Then shall we learn to love each other?" Apo asked. Mile finally smiles.
"If you want to, we can do that," he said. Apo smiled too. He had decided.
"I guess, we shall give it a try,"
"So, you accept my papa's proposal?"
"You can say so,"
"I'm sorry you didn't get a proper proposal. I promise I'll give you a real proposal later on,"
"It's okay. Maybe you can save it for our first wedding anniversary," winked Apo. Mile was over the moon.
"Mile, there's another thing you should know,"
"What is it, Po?"
"I'm a carrier, I can bear child," Apo said.
