The car stopped in front of a huge gate. By the time they reached home, it was already evening. The gate opened, and the car drove inside. Rain could see a huge two-story house. As he stepped out of the car, he saw an old man standing there and bowing to him.

"Hello, Master. I am the butler of this house," the butler introduced himself.

Rain just nodded in acknowledgment, still trying to take in the sight before him. The house is very huge, it had a large garden and looked beautifully maintained. It was so vast that Rain couldn't see where it ended.

They started walking inside the house. Phayu looked back at Rain and said, "We will live here in this house."

"Oh, here? You will live here with me?" Rain asked, surprised.

Phayu looked at the boy in disbelief. "Obviously, I will also live here. This is my house, and we are newly married. You want to live separately already?"

"Oh no, no, that's not what I mean, I was just asking. Uhmm.... you know.... I thought you would not live with me here as you already have someone you love. You know what I mean," Rain said hesitantly.

Phayu understood what Rain was trying to say. "I know what you mean, but we will have to live in the same house and also in the same bedroom. If my parents find out we aren't, we'll be in trouble. But don't worry, I will respect your privacy. We can be friends but not more than that. And yes, my parents don't come here often. You can order the servants however you want, and if you don't like anything in the house, just let the butler know. But don't touch my bedroom and study," Phayu explained everything in one breath.

Rain was listening everything very carefully. "Don't worry, I don't have any problem with anything."

Rain was confused about one thing. Phayu could see the confused expression on Rain's face. "You want to ask something?" Phayu asked.

Rain nodded. "You say your parents don't come here often, so how will they know if we are living in the same house or bedroom?"

Phayu stopped in his tracks and turned towards Rain. First time rain asked a sensible question, atleast this boy has some brain and listening to him carefully "They have their own ways of knowing what's happening here. You'll get to know slowly. Don't worry and The butler will show you the house. I hope you will get familiar with it soon," Phayu said. Then he turned around and started walking toward the stairs.

The house was bigger than Rain expected. It had many rooms, more than seemed necessary. If Rain had come alone to look at the house, he would surely have gotten lost. The Tangwai family was also well-known and had a big house, but this was something else. Rain looked at the butler, who was happily showing him everything.

"Is this Phayu's house?" Rain asked suddenly.

The butler stopped walking and looked at Rain. "Yes, Master, and now it's yours too."
