Dhevaprom: The Fulfilled Promise

The Fulfilled Promise: Angelic Star [Part 2]

"Nicha, are you free today?" Nick peeked into his sister's room. The siblings were staying over at the Juthathep Palace for the weekend.

"Depends on what you need me for." Nicha raised an eyebrow.

"I found a new beef noodle place but I guess someone isn't interested." Nick teased his sister.

"P'Nick!" Nicha chased after her older brother.

"Say please." Nick couldn't give in so easy.

"Please?" Nicha put her hands together.

"Get ready and I'll see you at the porch." Nick was defenseless when it came to his sister.

"Nicha, where are you going so early in the morning?" Laorchan spotted her coming down the stairs.

"P'Nick found a new beef noodles place so we're having breakfast there. I'll pack some back for you and Khun Por if it's good!" Nicha gave her mother a hug before heading out.

"Maybe I should just set up a beef noodle shop for Nicha. What do you think?" Phu watched as his daughter happily entered her brother's car.

"Khun, you've been saying that since Nicha was 5." Laorchan rolled her eyes.

"P'Nick, where's this place at?" Nicha was already excited.

"Just 15 minutes away from the office. I heard it from a friend in the army." Since young, Nick had been the one sneaking Nicha out of the office for beef noodles and even after growing up, Nick would make it a point to seek out new places for Nicha to try.

"This meal is on me, P'Nick." Nicha graciously offered.

"I wasn't expecting anything less." Nick made a face.

"I'm so telling Khun Por that you bullied me." Nicha pouted as she ordered two bowls of noodles.

"Khun Tee, isn't that Khun Nicha?" Thong pointed to a table on the other end of the shop. Tee had dragged Thong out for a run and breakfast. To which breakfast so happened to be at the very same beef noodle shop.

"Where?" Tee's ears perked at the sound of Nicha's name.

"Over there...but who's that with Khun Nicha?" Thong noticed Nick sitting opposite Nicha. The two men reached out in bid to figure the identity of this 'mysterious' man.

"Khun Tee, look!" Thong let out a yelp as Nick playfully ruffled Nicha's hair.

"Oi, Khun Nicha is wiping his mouth!" Thong was giving Tee an unnecessary live commentary about the seemingly loving sight playing out in front of them.

"Shut it, Thong. I can see with my own eyes..." Tee stared silently at Nicha and Nick, unsure of the emotions he was feeling now.

"Do you think that's Khun Nicha's boyfriend?" Thong asked without much thought.

"Just because he touched her hair and she wiped his mouth, it doesn't mean they're dating." Tee reasoned.

"The point is that you can literally see the love in their eyes." Thong rolled his eyes.

"Khun Nicha's private life is none of your business, Thong. Eat your noodles." Tee manually turned his secretary's head towards his bowl of noodles.

"Okay, okay. It's none of my business that my boss is probably heartbroken that his crush has a boyfriend." Thong threw in one last blow before digging into his food. A blow that Tee had no rebuttal to.

"P'Nicha, did you hear about the party that Khun Taa is holding?" Chara walked into the main building of the Juthathep Palace.
