It was time for Pooh's family to head home as it was getting late. Everyone gathered outside to see them off. Ms. Anong and Ms. Suchada shared a warm hug before parting ways.
Pooh kept glancing at Pavel while Pon and Pooh's dad were already seated in the backseat of the car. Before taking the driver's seat, Pooh gave Pavel a playful wink, causing Pavel to respond with a shy smile. Ms. Anong then got into the car, and they all drove off toward their house.

________Another day:
It was 1 p.m. when the priest arrived at Pavel's house. Everyone was gathered in the living room for the discussion.
Ms. Suchada: "Which dates are suitable for the engagement and wedding?"
The priest :"I suggest having the engagement the day after tomorrow and the wedding in eight days. If you prefer to wait longer, the wedding can be scheduled for a month from now."
Ms. Suchada : "We can't wait that long, and besides, Blue's wedding is around the same time."
The priest :Alright, then it's set.
After finalizing the details, the priest departed.
Pavel's father :Honey, isn't this moving too quickly?
Ms. Suchada : Yes, but we don't have any other options, do we?
She then video-called Ms. Anong to inform her of the date. After a half-hour conversation, it was decided that the engagement would take place at Pooh's father's friend party palace.
Pavel, who had been listening quietly, was overwhelmed with questions arousing in his head continuously. Suddenly, a notification on his phone popped which caught his attention and lifted his spirits.
Pavel: Mom, I'm going inside. Call me if you need anything.
Ms. Suchada: Okay, honey.
Pavel headed to his room, grinning at his phone, and threw himself onto the couch, excited and eager.

In message,
Pooh: So the engagement is the day after tomorrow?
Pavel: Yep.
Pooh: What are you up to right now?
Pavel: Just talking to you.
That brought a smile to Pooh’s face who was now texting from his room giggling and blusing.
Pooh: Can we video call now?
Pavel: No.
Pooh: Why? Are you blushing? Future wifey.
Pooh then changed Pavel's nickname to "Wifey" with red and pink heart emojis. Pavel was already feeling flustered, and Pooh’s playful flirting made him feel like he might just vanish into thin air.
Pavel: No, that’s not it. I’m in the bathroom.
Pooh: What are you doing in the bathroom?
Pavel was caught off guard by the question and wasn’t sure how to respond. Just then, a new message appeared on the screen.
Pooh: Just kidding!
Pooh: Can you call me after you come out of the bathroom? I’ll be waiting.
Pavel considered lying to avoid Pooh's video call but realized that no matter what, he’d still end up calling Pooh.
Pavel: Okay.
Pavel then went to the mirror and fixed his hair. He had been wearing an old blue t-shirt, but he switched it for a new black one that highlighted his abs and chest, making him look extra hot and sexy. He then applied lip blush to give his lips a pink tint.
Wifey calling~~
When Pooh saw Pavel’s call, he immediately answered it. Both of them smiled as they saw each other on the screen.
Pooh (thinking): Dammit, my future wifey is hot.
Pooh: You look beautiful.
He was holding back the urge to call Pavel "sexy" at that moment, planning to save that compliment for after the wedding.
Pavel: You look handsome too, P'tin.
Pooh: Oh, thank you.
Pooh: By the way Pavel, have you ever thought about what will you do after marriage??
Pavel flushed at the question imagining himself with Pooh doing wild activities. He turned off the video and calmed himself first.
Pooh: What happened??
Pavel knew Pooh meant it different way but he couldn't help himself thinking about him and Pooh being together doing hot night activities, his delusional evident.
Pavel(to himself): Calm down, Pavel. Calm down.
After collecting himself he turned on the video and looked at Pooh whose gaze looked confused.
Pooh: Are you okay?
Pavel: I am.
Pooh: You didn't really answer my questions.
Pavel: Umm. About that I think ,I’m going to keep following my passion.
Pooh: Oh, I’ll always be here to support you, no matter what.
Pavel felt deeply blessed to have someone in his life who supported his dreams with such warmth.
