The talk

Peem

Nooo!

Nooo!

"Cat! Wake up" Phum was shaking me with a panicked look. It felt so real having that dream again. I am trying to remember everything but it's a little fuzzy. There were people around trying to calm me down, but I don't recognise any of them.

These dreams are becoming a nightmare and it's frustrating. They seem to be connected to my past, but none makes sense.

Something doesn't feel right.

"Cat are you ok?"

"I am fine." I reassured him.

We are now back at my parents' house. I brought Phum here from the hospital after he was cleared to leave. We haven't had a chance to be alone and discuss the topic about his brother. Khaooat rang him yesterday, but he refused to speak with him making up any excuses. He ended up talking to Fang instead who is not privy to the secrets, so they only spoke about Phums condition. We couldn't explain why Phum passed out.

I should have thought this through before I spilled his brothers' secrets, blaming myself for their deteriorating relationship. I need to do something, so I planned to call Q for an update when I get a chance.

Phum

My phone kept ringing by my bedside table. I know it is my brother, but I am not ready to speak with him yet. Ma called Peem yesterday for an update and I heard her asking how I'm doing. We are scheduled to fly back home tomorrow so I have tonight to spend time with Peem. He knows I am avoiding the topic about my brother, and I am glad he doesn't push. I don't think he knows that I know but he may have suspected it already.

During dinner Peem keeps checking on his phone. I was starting to think it was Khluen but I noticed Qs' name he was chatting to, so I left them be, assuming they are talking about work he left behind because of his extended leave to look after me.

"Puppy!"

"Cat!"

We spoke at the same time. We were in bed, and I wanted to ask him again about my marriage proposal. I love Peem and being together for over five years should be long enough wait. I want to marry him so we can move to the next step, children.

"Puppy, I want a cat!"

"Cat, I want a kid!"

We blurted at the same time and started giggling.

"Cat, I love you. I wanted us to get married as soon as possible and then start a family." I have been thinking about this for awhile. I love spoiling my nephews and nieces and I think having our own will be so much fun.

"Puppy, don't you think surrogacy is expensive? On top of that, we also need to find a donor. And who should father our child, you or me? Then we need to think about the IVF process. Do you think we can afford it now?" Peem was firing questions after questions.

"Wait so you have thought about this? We can go through the same process like Tan and Fang. It's no big deal. Besides you know we have the money." I had a huge smile. He has no idea how ecstatic I am to hear him talking about children. I have no doubt he thought about this with all the questions he was asking.

"Can we get a cat for now? Maybe a practice on becoming parents?"

"I have a proposal" I have a mischievous thought.

"What proposal?"

"I want a hug first." He knows exactly what I want

"I love you Cat, and I want to show you how much you mean to me."
