PAGES OF MY LIFE

Part 30: househusband

"I'm on cloud nine today, yohoooooo!!!!! She said yes!!!!" Evan exclaimed with pure joy.

"Tita! Tito! Theo! I want to ask for your blessing. I want to marry Thandar. My parents and I are here today to ask for your permission to give Thandar's hand to me," Evan said sincerely, bowing deeply.

"We will always say yes to Evan. But the final decision is up to Thandar. When do you plan to propose?" Thandar's mother asked.

"I want to propose today. I'd love for all of you to join us for this special moment," Evan replied.

"Of course, we'll be there."

The venue was their college university, Wonderland Academy, where Evan and Thandar's love story first began.

Lai and Lee, back from their honeymoon, brought Thandar to the university without revealing why they were there.

"Why are we here? Lai, we shouldn't be walking around like this; you're pregnant. We need to be careful. This is a school, and accidents are more likely," Thandar said worriedly.

"Don't worry. We're heading to the gymnasium, where we've set things up to avoid any incidents. You're a great doctor, Thandar, so we're in good hands," Lee reassured her.

"Why the gymnasium? Is there a concert or something?" Thandar asked.

"Just come with us."

When they arrived, Thandar was astonished. The gymnasium was beautifully lit with candles forming a path, creating a magical atmosphere. The crowd cheered, and Thandar's eyes filled with tears as she saw Evan waiting for her.

As she reached the center, Evan took her hands in his.

"Do you remember where we are? This is the place where I first confessed my feelings to you. Yes, it's a bit unusual for us to be here now that we're alumni, but I asked the president for permission. I'm also grateful to my supporting fans who are here today."

"What are you doing?" Thandar asked shyly.

Evan knelt on one knee and said, "Thandar day and night I can't stop thinking about you, I don't think I can continue my healthy lifestyle with this because without you by my side I can't sleep well, so this day I wanna make sure day and night we will be together. Thandar I wanna spend the rest of my time with you, can you be my wife who spend the rest of her life with me? 

"Are you sure? I'm not exactly 'wife material.' I'm a bit lazy when it comes to house chores," Thandar said with a playful smile.

"Don't worry; I'm practically 'wife material' myself, even though I'm a man," Evan replied with a grin.

"I don't like doing laundry, and I don't want to be a maid at home. Is that okay?" Thandar asked.

"I'll hire a maid for that. You won't have to lift a finger," Evan assured her.

"I'm not into cooking. Can you handle that?" Thandar asked.

"I'm a great cook. I'll make sure you have all your favorites. Don't worry, my Thandar; I'll handle the cooking," Evan replied.

"I want to continue working even after we're married. Can you accept that?" Thandar asked.

"Of course. You can work as much as you want, but don't overwork yourself," Evan replied.

"Then we're good. Evan, you're qualified to be my husband. I will marry you, my love. I love you forevermore," Thandar declared, her voice soft and filled with warmth.

Their smiles faded into a tender silence as Evan's eyes softened with affection. He gently cupped Thandar's face in his hands, his touch warm and reassuring. His fingers traced the delicate contours of her cheeks, savoring the feel of her skin beneath his.

With a gaze full of adoration, Evan leaned in slowly, his lips just a whisper away from hers. The world around them seemed to melt away, leaving only the intimate connection they shared. As his lips finally met Thandar's, it was a kiss filled with a promise of forever—gentle, lingering, and full of the love they had cherished and fought for.

Their lips moved together in a perfect harmony, a dance of passion and tenderness that spoke of their deep commitment. 

As promised, after the marriage, Evan truly lived up to his 'househusband' role. He cooked for Thandar and made sure she never overworked herself. He treated her like a queen rather than a maid.

Six months later, they were blessed with twins—a baby girl and a baby boy—whom they named Baby Precious and Baby Gold.

"Yes, I live happily with the best husband in the whole world. I hope you find your own Evan too."
