Lions and Turtle

Chapter - 11

"What is there to be surprised just tell me some ideas" singto said to oat irritated as he was in his frozen state since singto told him that he wanted to marry Arthit now and asked him some suggestions to propose.

"I know that you love Arthit but marriage. Have you had a thought about it. Marriage? Now? He is still in his first year. Give him some time".oat retorted his idea.

"I know. But being away from him is literally killing me. I just want to be with him always. You are talking as if I am going to impregnate him which will spoil his studies. For God sake he is a man oat. Ya, after marriage he can continue his studies. I won't be a barrier to his career too. Actually I support him in all ways. He can continue making his own decisions, if required if he permits I can give him some suggestions and" oat cut his rant and said "do you know how you are sounding like"

Singto raised his eyebrow at oat questioningly.

Oat continued "it sounds like you are his husband already. He is not even your lover yet. It's just your side" and looked at his friends sad face.

Oat signed and said "singto I know you love him. You started treating him as your husband already. But think about him. Does he love u. At least he has feelings for you.i don't want to demotivate you at the same time I don't want you to suffer later. So please take one step at a time"

"I think he has" singto murmured to himself more like he was giving his own support.

Suddenly singto took his phone and texted to the person not to waste the time anymore.

Text to 'love💕'

"If you are free tomorrow night, will meet for dinner. Waiting for your reply"

*****

Now they were standing infront of the fancy hotel.

They were welcomed by the person in black tuxedo who looked like an manager of the hotel.

"Welcome Mr. Suttiluck. Here is your reservation" the person guided them to their respective reserved area.

Arthit stunned looking at the ambience of the private area. Full of candles which gives brightness to the place, fountain to his height in the middle of the big pool, table with two chairs beside the pool and the complete area was decorated with multi colour flowers.

'perfect romantic place' Arthit thought with surprised smile.

Singto took him near the table and helped Arthit to sit which impressed Arthit.

After taking his seat opposite to Arthit, singto said "thank you for coming Arthit"

Didn't know what to say, Arthit smiled and nodded.

"P, I thought we are just going for normal dinner. But here" Arthit stopped on not knowing how to explain this situation.

"Being with you is always special for me Arthit" singto said which made Arthit to blush.

They were interrupted by waiter placing their orders on the table.

Table was filled with dishes, Arthit couldn't believe that all the dishes were his favourite's, not to mention his pink milk.

"Do you want anything more" singto asked looking at the arthits no emotional face.

"Arthit, if you want anything else we can order" singto added looking at muted Arthit.

"No no P. It's more than enough. Am already thinking how we two could complete this whole" Arthit said with wide eyes.

Singto smiled and said "just have to your fullest".

Arthit blushed and nodded looking down.

They had their dinner with random talks. Arthit started talking about his college and his friends which made singto jealous of them.

"Arthit could you talk about something else" singto interrupted Arthit on his story with some irritation.

"P.. wat happened P. Did.... Did I offend you in any way" Arthit stammered with hesitation.

"No no Arthit, you have done nothing" singto hurried to say looking at arthits fallen face.

Without saying anything, Arthit started to play with his food and occasionally had his food.

Singto felt guilty on his behaviour. Scolding himself for making Arthit sad.

After 5 min of dead silent, singto acknowledged "am sorry Arthit. Am sorry for making you sad. I couldn't control myself. You were talking about your friends always. I feel jealous of them. They were with you most of the time. But I couldn't. They hold most of your memories. They can talk with you whenever they want which I couldn't. I want to be with you always like them. I want to hold you always till my last breath. I want to be a reason for your smile. I envy them"

Arthit stared at his confessions and tried to hide his red face.

After singto's ranting, he realised what he said. It was not on his plan.he wanted to do his proposal impressing Arthit. Not to rant about his feelings.

Not knowing what to do next, singto excused himself for washroom.

Once away from arthits sight, singto called oat and poured everything asking for his help.

Oat heavily sighed thinking of his friends foolishness when it comes to his lover.

Oat tried to calm down his friend and succeeded. Oat advised singto to go as per their plan thinking it was an added point for arthit's acceptance.

After sometime singto went back to the table where Arthit was enjoying his food with a flushed face.

Enjoying each other's company they had their dinner without saying anything. Often singto took a glance  of Arthit nervously who did not dare to look at his side.

As the time arrived as per their plan, one of the waiter brought two plates. One with blueberry dessert and other one was closed with a transperant lid with rose beside it.

The waiter excused himself after placing the plates on the table.

Arthit drifted his view between two plates.

Without wasting time, singto opened the lid and took red colour velvet box out.

To Arthit's surprise Singto went on his knees and asked "Arthit, will you marry me" with opened velvet box in his hand which had a diamond ring.

Arthit was dumstuked, he was not able to react. His eyeballs were moving to and fro between the ring and singto.

His world stopped. Words were not coming out of his mouth.

'We have just come for dinner. Ya some fancy dinner. But this, I didn't expect it now. It's not like I don't want this. But still. I don't know what to say. He is asking to marry not even as a boyfriend.'

It's been more than two minutes where Arthit was in shock and singto was on his knees expecting his love life to start with Arthit.

'Am I ready?'
