A Tale of 5 Brothers (Completed)

Chapter 24: Acceptance

A/N: Third update of the day!!

*****

Krist was doing final check in his house before locking the door. He was going to his grandma's home over the weekend. She was not feeling well and his grandma is the only family he has. He wanted to go there on friday evening itself but unexpected work held him back so he was going now, that is saturday. He locked the door and gasped in surprise when he saw Singto standing beside his gate with a small backpack. He was holding Krist's luggage too in his hand.

Singto: "Should I keep this in car trunk or back seat?"

Krist: "First of all, what are you doing here?"

Singto: "My brothers were going out so I thought I also should go with you. You told me you want to introduce me to your grandma right, that's why I am here."

Krist couldn't comprehend the situation. Indeed he said he wants Singto to meet his grandma but this was kinda sudden. No time like present, he thought and agreed to Singto to accompany him. Also there is no way he could say 'no' to the cute adorable human, god had ever created.

Singto: "How is your grandma now? Did you inform her caretaker you will be coming to meet her?"

Krist: "She is doing better now. I already informed them I will arrive by evening."

Singto: "Your grandma will like me right?"

Krist: "Of course, who wouldn't like you?"

Though Krist smiled, he couldn't help the building up stress in his heart. He thought he was doing a good job at hiding it but Singto caught him. The more they were heading towards Krist's native, the more stressed he was getting.

Singto: "Hey can you pull over somewhere? Let's take a break."

Krist: "We are close by. We will reach there in less than an hour."

Singto: "I need to use toilet."

Krist: "Oh.."

They soon reached an area with lots of cafe, restaurants, small convenience stores and Krist know there is a toilet. So he parked quite far from the crowd.

Krist: "I will wait for you in that cafe."

Singto nodded and went to the toilet. He took few minutes to collect his thoughts and how to talk to Krist after finishing his business. After calming he went back to find Krist.

Krist: "I already ordered your favourite flat white coffee."

Singto: "Thank you."

As if in cue, a waiter came with a cup of pinkmilk and his coffee.

Krist: "This is good but it is nothing compared to the stall near my yaai's house."

Singto: "You know I can sense if you are uncomfortable."

Krist: "What are you saying? I am very comfortable."

Singto: "It's because of me, isn't it?"

Singto got his answers in Krist's silence.

Singto: "I should've thought more about this, I am sorry I acted on impulse without thinking."

Krist: "Hey... it's not like that."

Singto: "You don't have to stress. You go to your grandma's house, I can find my way back home."

Krist: "You are coming with me, period."

Singto: "You don't have to Kit, I don't want to stress you."

Krist: "Will you let me explain Singtuan?"
