The Heart's Algorithm (GeminiFourth/FourthGemini)

19.

We raised you

"Si..!?" Mae Ning said, more likely asked.

And now, Fourth was more shocked between them. He had been worrying over their first meeting already, and now this.. what? How?

How does she knows his family name, when they are meeting for the first time. Only Fourth's grandmother and his parents called him Si. No one else ever did, not even Gemini.

Gemini also had rising questions in head. "Mom.." he spoke.

Mae Ning looked at him, and again at Fourth.

"Si.. Son, you are back!?" She spoke, her smile widening and eyes glistening with slight tears.

"Aunty, what do you mean!!?" Fourth was confused as hell! Mae Ning calling him son. No shitty ways, he was her son. What the hell is going on?? His mind screamed.

"Mom! What are you saying?" Gemini asked, having the same thought.

"Oh god! Nattawat, Si.." She said approaching Fourth, and hugged him. Fourth was still clueless. He stood there, frozen, hands hanging at side and glanced at Gemini, slowly responding to the action.

By then, Mae Ning was crying.

"Oh my god.. come inside, Si. Please. I know you would be thinking what is going on, but please?" She said leading the way, and Gemini nodded, again calming him. She had repeated the word 'Si' so many times, it was not a dream or any shitty illusions now.

Reluctantly and nonetheless Fourth followed inside, with Gemini behind him.

"Hun.. Si is back." Mae Ning told her husband as if she is telling of someone's return, after a long time. Fourth greeted them.

Gemini's father, also looked dazed. For pretty second, he observed Fourth and tried to interpret things. His expression softened, as he called out.

"Si..? Is that really you?? Oh my god! My boy grew up for good!!" He said, slowly approaching Fourth, and hugged. It was such a warm gesture.

But, still he was more then confused by now. Him coming back, as Mae Ning said? What does it mean exactly. They met for the first time, how can they know his family name?

He remembered correctly, no one called him by that name in ages, apart from his grandma. And there is no way, his grandma know Gemini's family. Even after they do, why would she tell them about it. And what did Mae Ning exactly meant by coming back???

"Which guest do- ouw, Fourth! What happened." Phuwin asked taking a look at everyone's face, as he entered the house, all clueless.

He became worried, when he noticed tears in their parents eyes. His mother who was tough and his father whome he had not seen crying in ages, had traces of tears in their eyes?

For a moment he thought Gemini came out to his parents. But why will they cry because of that? They were not those kind of traditional orthodox parents..

"Uhhm, I guess you are misunderstanding me for someone else. Uncle, aunty." Fourth said, his voice so weak while glancing at the elders.

"No.., how can I misunderstand you!!" Mae Ning spoke.

All the youngs were confused, what the hell is going on??
