Tod and I were now in front of my room. That was the first time I felt that it
was very scary inside the room. What would happen if my mom hit me
when I came in because she found out that she was dating a woman and I
covered up for myself with a man? A man who was also dating another
man... But mom didn't know anything about that. She had no idea how
much my mother knew about me. But if she was already there, that meant
she knew enough. Now mom would know that Aoey lived here with me.
That damn bird!
"Do you think that damn bird has already told my mom about Aoey and
me?"
I said nervously. The handsome boy looked at me and also smiled
nervously.
"Have you ever taught the bird any new words since then?"
"I have so many things to do in life. How would I have time to teach the
bird?"
"Well, what about the time you have sex then?"
The bird may even moan like you.
"Tod!"
I wanted to faint. I could never win an argument with that bad mouth. But
now was not the time for this. First I needed to see my mom in that room. I
looked at him and sighed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Can you kiss a girl?"
This is a good time to make it up to me after you made me angry. After
talking about the plan, I opened the door and kissed Tod. Kissing a boy was
very different from kissing a little girl like Aoey. I had to stand on tiptoe
and pull his collar towards me. His short mustache around his lips tickled
me and I could smell the light citrus perfume of him. Unlike Aoey, who
mostly smelled like clean soap. Our kisses were like a hot young couple
who just agreed to take the relationship to the next level.
"Oh... you're here too."
Even though we completely knew she was there, we had to pretend we
didn't know. I acted surprised and tried to fix my shirt, which I had just
unbuttoned, and my hair, which I just shook to look sexy, to look
appropriate again. She looked at us both and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'm here and Aoey is here too."
My mom gestured to Aoey, who was now looking at me with a sharp and
fierce gaze. Her eyes were much scarier than my mother's. But what could I
do now? First I had to fool my mother. Then I would make it up to her...
"Why don't you call me before you show up here?"
"If I called first, I wouldn't see something like that."
Her voice wasn't angry. She shrugged as if that was no big deal.
"Kissing is fun."
"Mother!!"
I called in a state of shock. I intentionally wanted her to see that, but she
didn't have to mention it like that.
"Why are you here?"
"I want to visit the condo I bought. Can't I be here?"
From the look in her eyes, I could tell she was testing me and wanted to see
how far I could go. I put on a big kissing show just for her. I had to give my
best. I started the lie and I could see it through to the end!
"Yes, you can, but you should at least tell me."
"Do you bring Tod here often?"
She changed the subject immediately. She tried to relate it to her question. It
could be difficult because bringing a man to my house wasn't me at all. But
I started the lie!
"From time to time."
"Just like today,"
Mom smiled and looked at Aoey.
"Is it Aoey who visited you at home last time?"
"Of course. You remember her, right? You want to ask where she had her
plastic surgery done, you also want to get them done."
I walked towards Aoey, hugged her arm and rested my head on her shoulder
like a close friend.
"You're still here. I thought you were going home."
I walked in and saw her working alone on her computer.
"She came back here. Now you can go."
"Really?"
Mom and I stayed silent. Aoey didn't look me in the eyes. It seemed like I
was in the corner and mom was the winner. I hated losing, even against my
mother. But I didn't know how much she knew.
"Do you also have a bird?"
She changed the subject again and turned to the myna who was now in a
small cage. She gave him a pitying look.
"It was Uncle Somkit's."
-It's a big bird in a very small cage. Poor him. Do you know that this type of
bird needs a larger cage, to be able to grow and lay eggs or build a house for
it."
"You're a know-it-all."
I said jokingly. My mom crossed her arms over her chest and raised her
eyebrows.
"I had one once and he could talk."
"I didn't know you had a bird like this."
"You never asked."
My playful mother still talked about the myna.
"Do you know what I taught him?"
I wanted my mom to forget about Aoey, so I kept talking to her about
whatever she wanted to talk about, world economy, Barack Obama, Prayuth
Chan-ocha, price of gold, price of gasoline. Whatever!!
"What was that?"
She smiled and told me.
"Eat Aoey."
"My Aoey. Delicious... oh, that's good."
I almost fainted, but luckily Tod was by my side. He caught me in time,
otherwise I would hit my head on the ground. My mom stood there trying
not to laugh. She was happy to see me lose my mind. She enjoyed teasing
me and she stood still making the bird sound.
"What happened? You fainted? So sensitive. Why weren't you scared like
that when you taught the bird to talk then?"
"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop the bird. It's so talkative."
"Do not faint. Sit down and talk to me,"
My mom looked at Tod and Aoey.
"Both of you wait outside, I want to talk to Gen alone,"
She said to Tod and Aoey casually. Aoey and Tod left the room. Only my
mom and I stayed. In my life, I never lost anything, but there was
something in life that I had to give in to.
1.Aoey's eyes
2.my mom
My mom was playful. She had fun making fun of me, especially when I
was in situations like that.
"How are you my love? Were you really about to faint?"
"Why didn't you tell me you knew everything?"
"I wanted to see how far you could go. You also lied to your brother. How
come you end up like this?"
Her voice wasn't angry, but it was still playful. She wanted to joke to see
my reaction more than anything.
"Okay, go ahead, mom. How is Great?"
"Devastated. Teenage stuff."
"Aren't you here to give me a lecture?"
I said and looked at the ground.
"I hurt, Great, your dear son."
"You are also my daughter. Don't say that. I spoiled him because he is the
smallest. But I still love you."
"I want to know everything. I won't judge. I want to know it from you."
"What did he say?"
"That you stole his girlfriend."
I hunched my shoulders down. It was really my fault. It sounded strange
that a sister would steal a girlfriend from a brother. And now I was telling
the story to my mom.
"It's my fault. I really stole his girlfriend."
My mom leaned back on the couch and looked at me. I didn't know where
to start the story, so she helped me.
"When did you two like each other?"
I sat down and responded quietly.
"I'm not sure."
"Let me rephrase that again then. When did you start liking Aoey?"
I looked at her embarrassed. Damn! Did I really have to tell my mom about
my love story?
"From the first time we met, I fell in love with her."
That was the beginning of my story. After that, the story flew out of me,
how I felt, the timeline. I told her how I felt about Aoey. She nodded her
head, but she didn't convey any judgment, she just listened to the end....
"Because you were tight lipped, you and your brother ended up fighting
now. If you had told your brother how you felt, Aoey wouldn't have dated
Great and Great wouldn't be like he is now."
I felt guilty when she said that. She was right about everything.
"Yeah."
"Oh... my Gen, who always wins. You look so sad. Do you feel guilty?"
What she said suggested I was losing. I wouldn't let that happen.
"I'm not losing. I don't feel guilty. She's mine,"
I said firmly.
"She is mine. Delicious."
"Mother!"
My mom covered her mouth and laughed as if she enjoyed repeating the
damn bird.
"At least you learn to love someone. You also have feelings. At least I can
be proud that I raised a human being, not a piece of rock. As for him, he
also needs to learn to lose. You can't win it all."
"Is he seriously injured?"
"I feel sorry for him."
She used to spoil her youngest son, but not today.
"He usually changes his wife with the same frequency with which he
changes his clothes. She slept with them and then left them. Many families
came to me asking for compensation. I paid a lot for that. This will teach
him a lesson."
"Umm."
I was surprised that my mom didn't give much importance to me hurting
Great.
"One thing I don't have to worry about is that, Great knew how to use
condoms, so I don't have to worry about him getting anyone pregnant. He is
enjoying his teenage life to the extreme. I never thought it would be his
sister who taught her a lesson."
It seemed like she really meant it when she said that. I saw how cool he was
and wondered how Mom spoiled him. But it turned out that she was also
judged by him.
"But this is his first broken heart. Will it be OK?"
"When he was in high school, he also fought with his friends over women.
But he won because his father supported him. He sent someone to beat
them. But now it's you, he loves you too much to do something like that. I
think it's a good lesson for him. He will make it grow. The opponent is
better than him in every aspect and is a woman too."
"I'll talk to Great and explain that Aoey and I have been in love for a while.
But I'll wait for him to calm down a bit. It should be okay if I apologize."
Mom looked at me surprised, she was confused.
"What?!"
"Will you ask people for forgiveness? Do you know how to do that?"
"What do you think I am? I was wrong, I'll apologize."
I didn't understand why she was so surprised to do something so normal
that other people do..
"Aoey is good. She changed you to be better. You never give up on anyone
and you never apologize to anyone. It's not that bad to date a woman. Now I
started to like her."
"Why are you so cool today?"
I looked at her surprised. Not only did she agree with what happened, but
she understood me.
"How do you handle it so casually? I'm dating a woman."
"As long as it's love, I'm fine with that. But just be considerate. I'm open to
anything. You can talk to me about everything. Ah... I'm so thirsty."
She looked at me as I stood up and poured her a glass of water. Was she
trying to control me? She liked to give me orders. Like when Aeoy had told
me that I got 6 out of 10.
"You're kinder now."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Softer too."
"Enough! Mother."
"You're dating Aoey now, but what about Tod? Are you dating two people at
the same time? Do you both agree to this too? Oh wow! My daughter can
control people."
I waved my hand to stop her imagination before confessing.
"That was a spectacle. I went out with Tod to cheat on you. Tod also wanted
me to cover it up from his family. We both wanted to get away from our
family."
"He didn't seem to care."
"You and Aoey have already had sex, right?"
"Mother!"
I felt like all the blood in my body was rushing to my face.
"Do you do it or does she do it to you?"
"Mother!!! "
I yelled and she laughed out loud.
"Why are you making so much noise? It is natural. I guess from what the
bird told me, the answer is yes."
"I want to faint."
I was about to collapse but my mom grabbed me by the neck.
"You can't escape all your problems by fainting, especially with me. I was
just asking. I told you I wanted to talk to you about everything."
No this! She couldn't be nosy about that!!! I touched my own cheeks and
breathed heavily. My mom put her hand on my head and laughed.
"You're cute."
"I had never said that. You only say those things to Great."
"He is the youngest and his sister is so perfect that she can't compete. I don't
want him to be a problem child and your dad loves you more than
anything."
Mom sighed and covered her mouth to whisper.
"To be honest, I think I love you more, but I have to show Great that I love
him more. It's a show."
I looked at her and laughed. I thought she was cute saying that. She loved
us both the same, but she was a fun mother. She said that she loved me
more when she was with me. When she was with Great, she told him that
she also loved him more. She wanted to be our hero and dad was a villain.
But she was the real villain....
"I should go now. I have to play cards. My friends are waiting for me."
She got up to leave. She was so cool. She didn't complain about anything
and she also understood me. This was unexpected. I got up and started
complaining to her.
"You can't be too understandable. You should tell me that you don't agree
with me dating a woman and that I also lied to you about Tod kicking me
out to find my birth mother,"
Incomplained like a TV drama.
"I am your biological mother. The money is your dad's. I only know how to
spend it."
"Mom, I feel bad for Great. At least you have to be angry and throw things
at me. You have to be angry because your daughter and your son are
fighting."
I imagined the scenes in my head.
"You have to plan to keep me away from Aoey. Kidnap Aoey in a
warehouse and force her to say in a recorded video that she will leave me
alone. Force me to flee abroad. Laugh at our catastrophe and say whatever I
want, I will be able to achieve it."
"You don't seem like a soap opera lover."
"Great could commit suicide."
"If that's the case, let it be."
"Mom, how can you be okay with this? I couldn't even feel good about
myself when I realized that I like women."
I told her what I thought because it was too easy. I wasn't sure how to
handle this. It was too easy. My life shouldn't be this easy. I rejected Aoey
all the time because I was worried about my family. I wouldn't have done
that if I had known my mom would be so easy.
"Can't I be okay with this?" You're in love."
She shrugged.
"You are both still young. It's good that you have a friend. When you meet
the right guy, you will separate. I know this because I was like that when I
was young too."
"What?!"
"When I met your father, I was a normal woman again. You don't plan on
staying together until you're old, do you?"
I paused because I couldn't answer that question. It would be strange for us
women to be together until we are old. Everyone would be the same again.
It would be a short time.
A life experience...
"Yes, I don't have any plans for that long."
"Then I'm fine. You will get married and have children one day. Now you
just learn to love. Love between women is not for eternity."
"Why are you sad? It is normal. In the end, either you or Aoey will want a
family of your own. It's very normal."
"But some stay together until they get married."
"Have you heard of someone who stays together until they die?"
"There may be some, but we have never heard of them."
"I think deep down you also know that eternal love does not exist."
"How did you convince me? Now I thought that between Aoey and me, the
relationship was superficial. If I met the right guy, I could stay away from
her. And if Aoey found the right one, she too might be ready to be touched."
Someday... Aoey would walk away from my life and live a normal life. We
probably wouldn't be together forever. That was life. After my mom
returned, Tod left. Now Aoey and I are finally alone. The soft eyes looked at
me a little annoyed. I assumed it was because of the passionate kiss
between Tod and me. I had to act innocent and let her speak first.
"You look so moody."
"What is it like to kiss a man?"
There she was. Her sweet eyes that were always soft and gentle like a
kitten, but now they growled at me. This kitten was ready to scratch my
face with her paw when it came to jealousy.
"It's strange, but kind of nice. He was rough on the chin because of his
mustache. Tod is taller so I had to look up and pull his collar towards me."
"Shut up."
"What?"
"I said shut up!"
The soft eyes pulled me in for a kiss and bit my lip once and pushed me out.
The moody feeling contrasted so much with her beautiful face. She made
me laugh.
"You are a dog? You bit my lip."
"Gen."
Aoey hit me hard in the middle of my back. I started to get angry and gave
her a fierce warning look.
"That hurts."
"I'm jealous."
Her direct confession made my anger disappear immediately. I was feeling
passionate now, so I pulled her towards me despite her resistance..
"I wanted to trick my mom."
"You didn't have to do so much... French kisses and everything. What if I
do it too? Do you think it's OK?"
The soft eyes described the scene as when she wrote her book.
"I take a boy to the room. The man pushes me onto the bed. He unbuttoned
my pants. He touched my entire body with her lips and slid her finger in.."
"Stop.."
I covered her mouth immediately. Ok, I understood how she feels now. That
was quite a scene.
"Nasty kitty!"
"I just describe the scene and you feel it. What if you saw it? I was angry
but I couldn't say anything because your mom was here. I wanted to bite
you, pull your hair, bite you again and
again and again......arrrggg."
I ran towards her and bit her shoulder. She was so angry, but she screamed
and gave up.
"You're cheating. I have to bite you, not the other way around."
"Would you stop being angry if you bite me?"
"OK."
I let her sit down. This time she bit me on the shoulder but I didn't scream
because I didn't want to show any weakness. Her soft eyes bit when she saw
that I had no reaction to that. I didn't show any pain and shrugged my
shoulders.
"Are you happy now?"
"No."
"What do you want now?"
"Kiss Me."
"I'll clean your mouth."
I always lost to her... I had to make it up to her. She had fun touching me
here and there, despite her demand for just one kiss. Finally, I pushed her
out. I didn't want to put on another show for the bird. He might repeat it
somewhere else. I had to change the subject.
"Was my mom nice to you today?"
"Yes, she was very kind. She even smiled when she heard the bird say that."
Aoey always got embarrassed when we talked about that. I did understand
that. That damn bird! He perfected it. Even I was convinced that it sounds
like Aoey.
"Yes, my mom is more open than I thought. Even though I broke the heart
of her dearest son she did nothing wrong."
"That's what I thought too. Your mom is kind, generous, open and very
mature. She is so different from you."
The soft eyes made a casual comment that bothered me. I gave her an
annoyed look for criticizing me. She smiled sweetly back at me..
"I'm sorry."
"How come I was so bad in everyone's eyes?..."
My mom is not a serious person. I was surprised too. I never thought she
would be open about this too. Above all, I was very surprised to learn that
mom dated a woman before my dad. She might be worried about me for a
while that I might be a heartless bitch. A selfish and heartless bitch... Was
that how my mom looked at me? And Aoey too?
"This means we can be together now, right? So we can get married in the
future."
Aoey seemed to be dreaming. I looked at her smile and felt so loved. But
deep down I felt guilty because I couldn't see myself marrying another
woman. My mom returned to a normal heterosexual life after meeting my
dad. She confirmed to me that we all had to return to our real lives at some
point. I would have children one day, with my husband. Aoey would too...
But I wouldn't destroy her dream now. The future was not here.
"Will you still want to marry me then?"
Things change.
"I won't do it. Trust me. I love you Gen, only you."
The smallest girl hugged me passionately. I hugged her back and rocked
back and forth. I was so happy... So happy that I was afraid of it..
"What is your novel like? You said I'm the main male character. Am I
elegant?"
I changed the subject because the novel was what made her happy. She
really loved that hobby.
"Beautiful like you."
"Oh? Because it's beautiful?"
"I'm writing a bisexual novel."
"Man, right?"
"Women. It's the first time I changed my style. I'm excited that you are the
main character."
"I described you so beautifully."
Her eye candy rested her chin on the palm of her hand.
"A beautiful woman with long black hair, beautiful face, rich, intelligent,
authoritarian, dictator, mouth..."
"Is that what you called a good description?"
I said. Aoey laughed.
"Yes, I'll tell you how good the comments are. The novel is not at the
highest rank yet, but everyone loves your character. They think you are a
perfect husband."
"What is a husband?"
"Husband of all women."
I didn't know what to think when I heard that. How come my beauty
became someone else's husband? Aoey showed on her screen that she now
got almost 3000 views even though it was posted only 3 days ago. She
reads the fans' admiring comments towards me. But there was a different
comment. I saw the most recent comment on the board. It was not related to
the novel, but it resembled the author.
"I can't contact you Aoey. You don't answer my phone. Call me please."
"Hey."
"Yeah?"
She still didn't see the comment. I pointed it out to her. Her face changed
from happy to stressed immediately.
"I think this is your mom. Do you want to contact her?"
"No."
The soft eyes said it with anger. I saw tears in her eyes, but she wiped them
away. She lifted her chin trying to be strong.
"Your mom might want to talk to you about something."
"I'm not her daughter since I left that house. Now you are my most
important person."
She hugged me tightly as if she were looking for a safe place.
"You are my Everything."
I hugged her back and did my best to comfort her. My instinct told me that
something would happen soon. I didn't feel good seeing Teacher Salee's
comment on the web board.
My sixth sense said something bad was coming
