Sarawat stared at his mother,trying to keep his gaze away from her growing belly.

"You wouldn't come home, don't attend calls often and sometimes Don't even call us back. Sarawat, are you really okay here?"She asked worriedly and Sarawat forced a smile.

"I'm really happy here. How's things going on at home?"Sarawat asked even if he knew that almost everything they will have to say is about the new member to join the family soon.

"We have been trying to make a room for your younger brother or sister. The thing is that,your mom has no idea how to do it and doesn't like whatever I try to do" his father said and his mother pouted.

Sarawat couldn't help but smile. Sarawat might hate the new member,but he could never bring himself to hate his parents,no matter whatever happened.

"Why,mom?"Sarawat asked and she held his hand.

"I think it would be much better if you could help us with that. The baby will also be happy to learn how good it's big brother is"His mother said and his smile dropped, he would rather never go back home that having to Decorate a room for the most unwelcomed member. He forced a smile.

"Mom,I'm really bad at things like that. I've never did it before and it's not like I've got a lot of time to spare for that"Sarawat made excuses and Thanong placed a hand on Adwika's shoulder.

"That's right. He's a big boy now and got a lot of things to do at college. We shouldn't be forcing him for such small things. Besides, it's not a big matter, we can get help from many other people"Thanong said and Sarawat couldn't agree more although he was surprised to see his father taking his side.

"Hmm.......I won't force you then. But, do come home when you have time,alright? And I've packed some snacks for you, share it with your friends here,hm? I've packed some and gave it to Man and Gun too, can't forget your bestfriends"His mother smiled warmly and his eyes widened.

"D-do.......do Man and Gun visit you?"Sarawat's eyes fell on his mother's baby bump and his mother smiled and nodded.

"Gun had to come back for something important and he visited me before going back the next day. Man visit us more often and sometimes even take me out since your father is sometimes too busy"Adwika said and Sarawat felt his heart sink.

He had been texting his friends and they never once mentioned about this to him. He couldn't even take the hints when they sometimes ignored his texts and even asked him if there's anything special. He felt his heart becoming heavy and thereafter he couldn't really pay attention to his parents nor what they said to MJ who had came down to greet Sarawat's parents and see them off.

"You probably should've shared the news with your friends. See, they were so cool about it"MJ was eating the snacks that Sarawat's mother brought for them.

"How was I supposed to know that they would be so cool about it? I......."

"Wat......first of all, remember this, not everyone thinks the same about things. Not everyone has to think like you. I get that you are having a hard time after being a single child for so long and used to having everything for yourself without having to share. But trust me, there are also people wishing so badly for a sibling. It's not that bad to share, you know? Maybe your friends are hurt that you didn't shared such an exciting news with them"MJ said and Sarawat sighed.

"What should I do now? Shall I text them-"

"Tsk,as if it could solve it. Atleast make a call"MJ said and Sarawat nodded.

"You're right, I should call them-"

"Or maybe, FaceTime?"MJ asked and Sarawat looked at him.

"Ah,that's more sinc-"
