BEHIND US

Flashback ...

[Prajakrattanakul Residence., Thailand]

"When are you and snack plan on leveling up your relationship? You are both graduate and snack has a very nice background even before her adaptive parents." My mom kept on asking me when snack don't even mention about it and we haven't talk about much either about marriage.

"Mom, don't be too exaggerated. We are still young and kicking. We are both enjoying our time. Whether alone or together. Plus, we haven't talk about it." I replied dismissing the topic.

"Don't lie to me Pailiu, I know what you are thinking. No matter how you avoid this talk, I know deep down that you want to settle down already."

"You are so embarrassing mom. Don't make this such a big deal. We haven't talk about this marriage thing. And I don't know if she is ready." I said to my mom still not wanting to said yes about this marriage between me and snack.

"Oh! Don't look at me like that. If I asked Snack, she will surely said yes. That kid knows how much I adore her for you."

"Whatever mom. Let us decide for ourselves. We don't have house yet for our own." I replied irritated.

"That's impossible. For sure snack has already purchased one."

"Ah! I don't know mom." I said not wanting to go on on this topic. I walk upstairs so I can pack my thing to fly to Philippines. After all, Snack is my solace and comfort.

Present... [ MANILA, PHILIPPINES.,  Waraha Residence ]

My eyelids feel heavy after a while since I step foot on snack's bed. The bed is inviting me to sleep and I slept eventually.

"Teerak, wake up. You have to change your position."

"I'm so tired." I bumbled not wanting to change my sleeping position anymore.

"Okay teerak. I will carry you so you can adjust. You'll fall on the floor."

I just nod at her and after she carefully place me on the bed, she close the light and leave the nightstand open. She snuggle me and hug me so tight making me smile and made us drift to Dreamland.

Next Morning.. 🌞 🌄

"Wake up, love!" I pamper her face with kisses.

"Hmmm" she yawned and sit at the bed while leaning on the head board as her eyes close and open. "Good morning, my love!" She smile at me.

"Good morning sleepyhead!" I said to her with an exciting tone.

"How's your sleep teerak?"

"It's so good. I feel recharged."

"That's nice. Any plan for today?"

"You plan baby. I don't have much knowledge about Philippines."

"How about we will stroll around BGC and Makati for today?"

"Yeah sure! Anywhere with you." Snack smile at me and we wash our face and brush our teeth before we head downstairs.

We walk holding each other's hands that earn a tease with both her mom and dad.

"Good morning, daughters!" Mr Waraha greeted us.

"Good morning dad, sir!" We said together.

"Ah! Don't call me sir anymore. Just dad or papa anything you want to call me and Charlotte."
