White Tulips and Daisies

CHAPTER ONE

It's almost three in the afternoon, Build and Blue were already dressed up and ready to go. Build is wearing a black suit above a black turtleneck while Blue wears a white shirt under a white small suit. Blue is busy playing on his Papa's phone while Build is busy putting shoes on his son's feet.

"Papa, she's calling." The three-year-old kid handed him the phone before getting off the couch and checking himself in the large mirror.

He likes dressing up when there is an occasion. He usually chooses what he wants to wear whenever he knows they are going out.

Build purposefully put images on his contact so if somebody calls him and Blue sees it, he will know who it was. Because Blue is not quite good at reading yet.

(𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑏𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.)

The moment Build answered the phone, he heard the voice of a woman who was clearly warning him. Build chuckles.

"We are not going to be absent and we are not going to be late."

(𝑌𝑒𝑠! 𝑊𝑒'𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐷𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒!)

The call ended. Build can just shake his head.

"Baby love, are you ready?" Build looked at his son who's still checking his outfit in the mirror.

"Yes, Papa love!" Blue ran to him, giggling.

It's just going to be a twenty-minute drive to the art gallery. They still have spare time and Build pulled into a nearby flower shop to pick up the flowers he ordered. It's a good thing Sari decided to schedule his exhibit during Saturday afternoon. The roads of Central are almost clear and there are no traffic jams. As they stopped at a art gallery, Build pulled off Blue from his car seat and grabbed the flowers beside it.

There are people entering the art gallery already. Build looked at the time, they are five minutes early, he won't receive a nagging from her. Build crouched down and fixed Blue's hair. The kid looked at him with his doe eyes. He looks like this to people he knows but will completely look intimidating to strangers. Just like someone Build knows.

"You're so handsome, Papa." Blue said, touching his cheeks.

"Thank you and so are you." Build kissed his son's forehead earning a giggle.

Build was about to pick the kid up and carry him to the registration area but the kid protests.

"No,no." He said pointing to his shoes.

Build laughed. He bought his son a new pair of shoes for this event and the kid loved it so much. He thinks the kid wants to try walking with his new shoes.

"Alright. Come on." Build offered his hand out and the kid grabbed it, smiling big. The cutie hopped and skipped while holding his Papa's hand.

Built is a little anxious, to be honest. Since all the tragedy in his life happened, he is not fond of socializing anymore. Being with too many people makes his heart beat faster and overthink. But he will be fine, he knows. He has Sari right there and his cute little muffin.

They got into the entrance where a registration table is placed. He's a little worried because Sari didn't give him an invitation but he can just call her. But before they could get into the table, a petite woman went near them.

"Good afternoon, Khun Jakapan. Hello, little Blue." She greeted them.

"Hi." Blue waved at him but not smiling. The kid is familiar with her as she is Sari's assistant but he actually rarely smiles at everybody.
