Forbidden Love✧⁠*⁠。

Episode 28

A few months had passed, and it was amazing how much had changed. King Adun and Queen Laila had grown into the role of loving, supportive parents, shedding the strict, duty-bound facade they’d once worn. Now, they prioritized Santa and Becky’s happiness above everything else—status, titles, even the royal duties they once held so sacred. The royal couple frequently visited the village, mingling with the townspeople, taking time to connect, listen, and understand them better. More than anything, they cherished the moments they spent with Perth, Freen, Becky, and Santa, sitting together like a family in Perth and Freen’s humble home. The king and queen had found joy in simplicity, choosing to focus on their children’s well-being rather than the trappings of royalty.

At the castle, Est and William had also blossomed in their relationship, their bond becoming unbreakable. They supported each other through the ups and downs, and their affection was no secret among the castle staff. Nay, Hong, Nut, and others often teased them, catching them sneaking kisses or moments of tenderness. Even King Adun and Queen Laila joined in on the lighthearted teasing, while Becky and Santa, of course, led the charge, playfully poking fun at every stolen glance or whispered exchange. But it only strengthened Est and William’s bond; each playful nudge or joke was just another sign of how deeply their relationship had rooted itself in acceptance and love.

Pond, who had once struggled with his own feelings for Santa, had gracefully accepted the reality and moved forward. He was now one of Perth and Santa’s most supportive friends, offering them warmth and encouragement whenever he saw them together. Occasionally, he’d join the group in the village, engaging in lively games of football with Perth and his friends. He’d laugh and play as freely as the others, finding peace in friendship and letting go of what had once been an unspoken longing.

And then, there was the beautiful journey of Perth, Santa, Freen, and Becky. Their relationships had only deepened with time, growing stronger, more profound, and endlessly beautiful. They had shared countless sweet moments together, building memories of love, trust, and understanding. Their laughter, gentle kisses, and warm embraces had become a familiar sight, bringing smiles to the villagers and a sense of contentment to the friends who witnessed their love.

One sunny afternoon, they all gathered at the lake, a place that had become a symbol of freedom and friendship for them all. The scene was picturesque. Perth, Santa, Freen, Becky, Mark, Ohm, Satang, Gemini, King Adun, Queen Laila, Mae Ariya, Est, and William—all of them had come together to celebrate this peaceful chapter in their lives. The laughter was constant as they shared food, exchanged stories, and teased one another in good fun. The group’s love and happiness were palpable, filling the air like a tangible warmth that radiated from each of them.

After a lively meal, they settled down by the lake, each couple and friend lost in their thoughts, reflecting on how far they’d come. They’d all taken their own unique journey, each marked by challenges and growth. Now, as they sat together, each of them felt a deep sense of gratitude for the people they loved and the place they had found in each other’s hearts.

Santa, gazing out over the water, couldn’t help but reflect on the journey he’d traveled. "I was once searching for freedom," he thought, a faint smile gracing his lips. "I thought freedom was something I’d have to find far from home, away from responsibilities and royal expectations. But who would have thought that in my search for freedom, I’d find love instead? A love that makes me feel free and brings me happiness in ways I never imagined." Santa looked over at Perth, who gave him a warm smile in return. "Perth’s love became my sanctuary, my home… my freedom."

Perth, leaning against a tree with Santa by his side, felt a similar wave of gratitude. "I’ve always believed in love," he thought, "but Santa made it real, something I could hold onto. Our love started in quiet glances and shared smiles. It grew in secret, and we fought for it together. Now, I can see that love doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be true. With Santa, I’ve found the kind of love that makes every moment worth living." He squeezed Santa’s hand, feeling at peace with the journey that had brought them together.

Becky, who sat close to Freen, felt a surge of emotion as she looked around at everyone gathered here. "This lake… it used to be a place of escape, a hideaway where I could be free. But now, it’s a place where I feel completely myself. It’s where I’ve laughed, cried, and fallen in love. With Freen by my side, I’m not just escaping—I’m living. I’ve found someone who loves me, who sees me, and I feel safe with her." She leaned her head against Freen’s shoulder, grateful for the beautiful journey they’d shared.

Freen held Becky close, her mind turning over all the moments they’d shared—the quiet mornings, the late-night talks, the dreams whispered under the stars. "I never imagined this life for myself," she thought, "to be so loved and to love so fully. To think, a villager and a princess finding their way to each other… it seemed impossible, but here we are. I’ve found my place, my home. Becky is my heart, and the family and friends we have around us are everything I could have ever wished for."

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow across the lake, each of them felt the same sense of quiet fulfillment. They had all come a long way, and the road hadn’t been easy. But sitting here together, surrounded by the people they loved, they knew that every challenge, every trial, and every heartbreak had been worth it.

King Adun and Queen Laila looked at each other, then at their children. There was a deep pride in their eyes, a pride not of rulers but of parents who had seen their family grow beyond titles and traditions. Mae Ariya watched Freen and Perth, her heart swelling with love for the beautiful souls they’d become. Est and William shared a quiet smile, their hands intertwined, as they looked forward to their own shared future.

The group continued talking, laughing, and sharing memories until the stars began to appear overhead. Eventually, as the cool evening settled in, they started gathering their things, preparing to head back to their homes. But before they left, each of them took one last look at the lake, a silent promise in their hearts that they would always remember this place and these moments.

The lake had once been a place of escape, a hidden sanctuary. Now, it had become a symbol of love, friendship, and the freedom they had all found—together. As they walked back under the starlit sky, they carried with them the unspoken truth that they would always have each other, no matter where life might take them.

Their story, filled with challenges and triumphs, laughter and tears, had reached a beautiful conclusion. Yet they all knew this was only the beginning of a lifetime of love, hope, and happiness that lay ahead.

The end
