White Tulips and Daisies

CHAPTER NINETEEN

The whole Central is captivated with the story. The scene became the talk of the town within hours. The people became so invested in the story that they added some spice on it. They said Lord Ram and Build's relationship had been going for quite some time already. Some of the residents on the Building where Build lives also stated that they often see Lord Ram in the premises. Some said they saw Lord Ram and Build outside. Gossipers also said Lord Ram was so fond of Blue. They create a perfect family.

Build ignored the issue. He thought that if he decided to be silent, the rumors would definitely die down. But he was wrong. Days after disregarding the rumor, news came to his knowledge. With Sari's multiple connections when it comes to gossip, she informed Build about the current trend. That he's pregnant with Lord Ram's child. Build felt anger. Things became out of hand. First, they said Lord Ram is the perfect father for Blue and now he's pregnant with his child? How could it be? Due to the massive attention, Build decided to stay inside the suite.

Wichapas looked at Prem. His assistant filled him with all the rumors going on. Wichapas was so confused. He can't believe all that he heard. Though they did not publicize that he is Blue's father, they didn't hide it as well. Build and Lord Ram don't have a relationship, Wichapas is certain about that. And that Build is pregnant with Lord Ram's child made it more unbelievable. Wichapas sighed. He didn't even know why this issue became big.

"It all started when people saw Lord Ram kneeling in front of Khun Jakapan in a bakery." Prem continued.

Wichapas was so pissed. Lord Ram is clearly enjoying the situation. He never spoke up to clarify anything between him and Build. The acts are clearly intentional. He was about to call Build when he received a message from him.

It's the weekend and Blue is supposed to stay with him. Wichapas went to the suite. As Build opened the door, he saw Wichapas standing outside. Build let him in.

"Please wait for a while. Blue just finished his bath." Build looked so stressed. He looks like he's out of energy.

"Where's Auntie?" He asked before sitting down on the couch.

"She went to the grocery store." Build answered while going back to the bedroom.

Wichapas observed his movements, trying to figure out what Build was thinking. Suddenly, Blue came to him running. The kid has no shirt on and he has two shirts on hand.

"Daddy, which is better? This or this?" He showed his father the shirts. One is red printed with a yellow duck and the other one is green with a bear design.

Wichapas looked at the shirts. "I think this one is better." He pointed to the green shirt.

"You and Papa chose the same shirt." Blue giggled while running back to his Papa inside the room.

Wichapas felt happy. It's always been his most peaceful hours whenever he's with Blue and Build. They are his solace. His very own safe zone.

Build and Blue came out of the room. Build is holding Blue's backpack while the kid has his carrot plushie on tow. Build handed him the bag.

"Sorry for asking you to pick him up. I just don't feel like going out today." Build lower his head.

Wichapas felt uneasy. He knows the current issue is affecting him so much. He knows him too well. Whenever he's too stressed out with something, he tends to shut down people. He tends to push them away.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes. Just feeling a little unwell. But nothing to worry about. Maybe I just need some sleep." Build smiled, not his usual smile.
