The Lovebird's Showdown: A Family Meeting Catastrophe

A Family Meeting Catastrophe

Hello, Buddies! How have you all been?

I'm here again - this time with an one-shot fic for you to enjoy. This was just an idea that came to my mind once. So I decided to write it down. It's the first time their parents visit their house after acknowledge their relationship. Who doesn't like a family reunion?

Oh, another thing: I decided to name Pat's mother and Pran's father as the actors who played the role (Yui and Passin).

The day has been long for Pa. And it's only lunchtime. This must be some kind of record.

"Ma, Pa, they are perfect together."

Pa nods at Dissaya, who doesn't seem at all convinced. Passin, Pran's father, responds with a small smile - the only recognition she got until now for her hard work.

It has been slightly more than one month since Pran returned from Singapore. He and Pat moved into their new house and decided it was time to come clean about their fake break-up. Not that their parents didn't already know, but it's certainly different from knowing and being able to ignore it. Now, they have to acknowledge it. And accept it. It has been a few confusing days at both houses. Anyway, Pa got the pleasant task of bringing the two families together in a too-small car, to which Dissaya lost the unfair and unofficial run for the shotgun seat.

"Pa!"

Pa breathes deeply at the sight of Ink, feeling her heart immediately settled. At least she's here. She swadee Pran's parents and her in-laws. The smile on Yui's face is now warmer.

"How are you, Ink? I'm happy that you took the time to come."

"Of course, Ma. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'm really happy we are finally able to be all together. It is great to get the chance to meet Pran's parents."

Ming rolls his eyes and tries to get the necessary and possible distance from Dissaya. She, for once, smiles.

"Thank you. You're Ink... Pran told me about you. You went with him to secondary school; I think I remember you from then."

"Do you? I did go to Pran's house once because we were doing a homework project together, but I didn't expect you to remember me."

"Of course, I do. I remember all of Pran's friends."

"Maybe if you had tracked your son's friends better..." Ming comments in a low tone.

Her eyes jump straight to him.

"I don't remember you doing a better job."

Yui slaps Ming's arm before he can shape his mouth to form words that certainly wouldn't help the situation.

"Ter."

He turns his eyes away from her stern look.

"Sorry..."

Ink coughs, grasping the tense ambience.

"I know it may be hard for you. I'm happy that you are making an effort. You'll see you don't have anything to worry about."

"They make each other very happy. You'll see," encouraged Pa.

An agreed silence was the best they could give, and it remained untouched all the way to the front gate. Pa rushes to ring the doorbell, not sure if it will ease her misery or bring more misery. The doorbell sounds clearer in the virtual eco surrounding them. Seconds after, the front gate opens to a small garden. They step in and walk to the door of the house, where they are greeted by a clearly sullen Pat.
