One More Time ( Becky x Freen )

Chapter 23

It had been a week since the heart-to-heart incident between Araya and Freen, and now the two were closer than ever, but not as close as Finn and Becky.

After that day, Araya's perception towards Freen changed immediately and she had fully accepted Freen and Finn into her daughter's life. And with the new bond, they have agreed to let Becky stay with Freen when Araya went to work. It's better instead of leaving her with the nanny, and Freen agreed to that with the reason that Becky would be happy to spend more time with Finn, her own son, although she hadn't really explain to either of them yet about their actual relationship.

It's not that she didn't want to, but she wasn't quite sure if Becky would understand. Therefore, she decided to wait until the right time to tell both of them and Araya said that it was all up to Freen for the decision. What excited Finn and Becky the most was that they couldn't wait until the weekend because with the new arrangement, Becky would be staying with them for two days a week.

"You'll call me if Becca isn't on her best behavior, right?" Araya told Freen when they arrived at Freen's apartment after having dinner at the nearby restaurant. She handed Becky's backpack with all the things she might need for the weekend.

"Mommy...! P'Freen won't call you because I'll always be on my best behavior, I always am, right, angel?" Becky asked and Freen nodded shyly with a smile.

"Cai, cai... I forgot na?" Araya said as she put her hand on her forehead, winking at Freen who once again laughed. "Okay dai, I'm going home now na... I'll see you on Monday, okay?" She told Becky.

Becky nodded, "Bye mommy, I'll miss you!" and her mother gave her a kiss on the forehead after they hugged for a few seconds.

"Okay, baby, and enjoy your weekend na ka..." Araya said, and then moved to kiss and hug Finn, her grandson, who neither Becky nor Finn knew about yet.

"Bye-bye Khun Mommy...!" Finn said as Araya finally drove away from her apartment building after she and Freen exchanged a hug as they used to now.

As they walked to the flat, Freen made a mental note that it was time to start telling the truth piece by piece to her son and Becky. She had decided that it wasn't going to be easy for her to fully accept the new Becky. She miss her old Becky, but she was determined to forget about her past. There was an abundance of joy in her life, and she was determined to find her part of it. Life was too short to waste on the past.

It wasn't easy for her to decide what to do on their weekend together or even what to make for dinner at lunch. She wanted it to be perfect. She was letting go of her past and moving full speed ahead into the future. Becky was someone she hoped would now stick around to be a big part of her future. She was tired of losing, she was tired of waiting.

She had to make sure that all the ghost of her past was well hidden in the recesses of her mind. She would never be able to forget her previous life with Becky, but she wanted to make sure that unhappy thoughts didn't creep into her mind as easily as they had before.She was excited about her new quest, and eager for a new self to surface, to meet a new Becky.

The rest of the night went by in a light mood. Freen decided to make the most of the weekend they had together.

"Mae kub... what are you doing?" After changing, her son appeared with Becky in the kitchen.

"I want to make our special homemade spaghetti. Would you like to give me a hand?" Freen knew that Finn loved spaghetti like she did, and from what she remembered, Becky loved spaghetti too. With that in mind, she began to wonder if doing something that Becky used to do in the past would bring her memory back. She mentally noted that she would ask Araya about it on Monday.
