"Seven years is such a long time," Mix exclaims as he pulls Chimon once again in his arms.
"Oh god, will you start crying again?" Bible mocks his Phi with laughter.
"Says the man who could not sleep for the last two days because he was too excited to see his nongs again," Build reveals with a smirk, giving away his partner's secret.
"Yah! Should my husband not take my side?" Bible complains as he playfully hits Build's arm."I see the party started without the singer," Ohm says as he walks to the group with Nanon by his side.
"I cannot wait to hear your voice, P'Nanon," Perth lets out as he walks to Chimon, pulling his boyfriend out of Mix's embrace.
Nanon blushes because he feels a bit embarrassed by all the attention on him.
"I will try to do my best." The doctor replies with a soft grin.
"Why so humble? You were once a big star." Mix says to give his nong more confidence.
"And remember, you will always be my star!" Ohm declares in a sweet tone.
"Eeewww," Bible remarks, taking his husband's hand to guide him to the waiting buffet."Where is P'Earth?" Chimon asks as he looks around the room, the man nowhere to be found.
"He will be here soon. He is with Khao and First. Since he has started to get out of all illegal business, the couple is helping him with the finances." Mix informs the youngest family members.
"Oh, I cannot wait to see them and Nong Tia," Perth exclaims as he pulls Chimon in his arms. "I have never asked you, but do you want kids?"
"Think twice before answering that!" Mix steps in, rolling his eyes before he shouts, "King! Luna! Stop eating the cake!"
Chimon and Perth fondly look at the five-year-old boy and his three-year-old sibling, who completed Earth's and Mix family a few years ago.
"Yes, I really want to. But first I think we should earn some money. Maybe to start, we can watch these two rascals as we attempt to pay back Earth for his help somehow, at least." Chimon suggests before Perth pulls him in for a kiss."Ehem!" Earth interrupts the lovebirds. "Can the old man have a hug too?"
The couple steps back and then simultaneously jump into Earth's waiting arms.
The oldest declares with a bright smile, "I really missed you guys."
"We missed you too, Phi." Both confess their true feelings towards the man they own so much.
"I have a surprise for both of you." The MC leader says as he lets go of the couple.
"A surprise?" Perth asks when Earth takes their hands and leads them to the stage."Dear friends and family, first, I want to thank you all for coming to this reunion. You cannot imagine how happy I am to finally have my boys back in Thailand." Earth speaks into the microphone, looking at all the guests who have taken their seats.
"Stop crying! Remember, you are the leader of the best MC club in the country," Bible shouts from the table of honour.
The whole room chuckles when they see Earth trying his best not to shed a tear.
"You are so right, Bible. It has been some tough years ... for all of us. And I know that in the beginning, you were shocked by the changes I wanted to bring to the club. But I think in the end, we can all agree that we are doing better now than before." The men in the room roar while their spouses and kids applaud Earth for his honest words.
"I remember when we started with the first garage next to the clubhouse. Then, the nightclub downtown. Thanks again, Khao and First, for taking care of it on behalf of the club's name. You truly have done a great job with it. I am happy to tell you that the Chatri Motorcycle Club possesses twenty-five luxurious cars and motorcycles throughout the country today. Adding to that, we own a hospital and a bakery, which is in the talented hands of my husband. And as of today, we also possess our first hotel. Chimon! Perth! I hope you will do your best!"
Earth turns around and extends his hand with a document, surprising the two men behind him.
Perth cannot believe what he just heard and exclaims, seeking clarity, "What? Are you kidding us?"
"You don't want it. So, every bath I put into your studies was..."
"Your money and help were not for nothing. But we cannot accept..." Chimon steps in, his hand shaking as he reaches for the paper.
"You can and you will. Please give a big round of applause to our newest hotel owners, Perth and Chimon. I am sure they will be as successful as we all are."
The room goes crazy with clapping and howls when the two cannot hold back their tears as they pull Earth into their arms.
It's an emotional reunion, and they are all in high spirits, which does not let up, even into the early hours."How do you feel now that everyone is back in Bangkok?" Mix asks his husband, each lightly bouncing a sleepy kid on their knees.
"I think this is true happiness." Earth confesses, leaning in to kiss his husband on the cheek.
Ohm and Nanon approach the couple.
Nanon asks, worried about the little girl, "Phi! How is Luna feeling? Is she still having stomach pains?"
"No, Nanon. You should not worry so much. She is fine now. I think she just ate too much dough this afternoon." Mix reassures his nong with a smile.
"Why do you never worry about me?" Ohm pouts as he sits next to Earth.
"Do you see the grey hair that is coming already? That is all because of you and your constant need to go to these races!" Nanon scolds his boyfriend, giving him the cold shoulder.
"I am sorry, my love. I will not..." Ohm starts.
"Don't promise things you cannot keep anyway," Nanon interjects, cutting him off.
"How about you stop racing illegal races and make some real money with it? I heard the racetrack close to our clubhouse is on the market." Earth reveals to the couple."I still cannot believe you gave us a hotel," Perth interrupts the conversation.
"I already bought it a few years ago, hoping that one day, you two would return and take it over." The oldest confesses with a proud grin.
"We promise to do our best," Chimon says, as humble as always.
"We are sure you will." Mix proudly replies when he gestures for the attention of to the two babysitters that they hired for the night, to take the kids to bed.The music is blasting when Perth and Chimon, the stars of the night, are stepping on the dance floor.
"Can you two just let go of each other's lips for one song?" Ohm complains when he tries to pull Build and Bible apart.
"I can, but he cannot not," Build says as he steps back, blaming Bible for their heated exchanges for the last hours.
"You are just jealous because your man ..."
"What about his man?" Nanon steps between them and claims Ohm's lips in a passionate kiss, the latter's knees almost giving way by the intensity.
"I think there are too many hormones running free here!" Earth puts a halt to the kissing competition.
"Let's just have a great time. Dance, sing and drink until tomorrow!" Khao shouts, everyone lifting their drink and toasting before they let the beat take over their bodies and dance the night away.
