Meet me, in the Parallel Universe (Completed)

Chapter 18

As the morning sun filtered through the curtains, Zee stirred awake, excitement bubbling within him for the day ahead. Quietly slipping out of bed, he tiptoed to the bathroom to freshen up, wanting everything to be perfect for their visit to Nunew's house.

After his shower, Zee busied himself in the kitchen, preparing a delicious breakfast for them both. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air as he skillfully whipped up a feast.

Meanwhile, Zee arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to Nunew's house, a gesture of affection to greet his love's family.

When Nunew finally awoke, he found Zee already dressed and the table set for breakfast. Grateful for Zee's thoughtfulness, Nunew joined him at the table, savoring the meal they shared before embarking on their journey to meet Nunew's family.

As they settled into the car, Nunew couldn't help but notice the hint of nervousness in Zee's demeanor. Sensing his apprehension, Nunew reached out and gently squeezed Zee's hand, offering reassurance.

Nunew: Hey, it's okay. You don't need to be nervous. My family is going to adore you, I'm sure of it. You're amazing, and they'll see that too.

Zee's tense shoulders relaxed slightly at Nunew's comforting words, a grateful smile playing on his lips.

Zee: Thank you, Nunew. I appreciate your confidence in me. I just want to make a good impression.

Nunew nodded understandingly, his gaze softening with affection.

Nunew: You already have, Zee. Just be yourself, and everything will be perfect.

As the car pulled up to Nunew's family home, the butler promptly informed Nunew's parents of their arrival. Sensing Zee's nerves, Nunew turned to him with a tender smile, his eyes filled with reassurance and adoration.

Nunew: (gently) Smile, my darling. They will love you just as much as I do.

Zee's heart swelled with affection at Nunew's words, his apprehension easing in the warmth of his love's gaze. With a deep breath, Zee returned Nunew's smile, feeling emboldened by their shared love and support as they prepared to meet Nunew's family.

Nunew's mother greeted Zee and Nunew with warmth and enthusiasm as they entered the house. Nunew proudly introduced Zee as his boyfriend, a gesture that filled Zee with both pride and nervousness. In a show of respect, Zee bowed gracefully, a gesture that earned a smile of approval from Nunew's mother.

Nunew's Mother: Welcome, Zee! It's lovely to finally meet you. Please, come with me.

Zee and Nunew followed Nunew's mother as she led them towards the garden, where Nunew's father and stepbrother, Jay, awaited their arrival. Zee felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness as they approached, but Nunew's reassuring presence by his side gave him courage.

As they approached Nunew's father, Zee followed Nunew's lead and bowed respectfully. Nunew's father reciprocated the gesture with a nod of acknowledgement, welcoming them to take a seat.

Nunew's Father: Please, have a seat. It's a pleasure to meet you, Zee.

Zee: Thank you, sir. It's an honor to meet you as well.

With a sense of calm settling over them, they began to engage in conversation, discussing their relationship and their shared aspirations. Nunew's father listened attentively, his presence exuding a sense of wisdom and understanding that put Zee at ease.

Nunew's father listened attentively as Zee spoke about his post-graduation plans, nodding in understanding at the mention of taking over the family company. He then shifted the conversation, his curiosity piqued about Zee's relationship with Nunew.
