First's pov:

I look at the one word replies from Khaotung on my screen. The punk already successfully managed to avoid me in the morning when I went to talk to him. I thought I went quite early but he was already ready and apparently rushing to do an "important" errand with Phuwin.

I am trying to be patient with him acting this way but he hasn't also picked any of my calls and replied to me only when it's absolutely necessary.....mostly about the wedding plan....very formal. So he is either trying to remind me about the wedding or wants to create a wall between us again.

He hasn't even come down to the my condo yet. He was wearing - I am guessing- Book's borrowed clothes, which frustrates me! He could have come down to get his own clothes. Like come on! Am I going to bite him? I still let it all go and remained calm till now. But now he is doing just too much.

A new message pops up on my screen. It's from Phuwin, reminding me of the wedding dresses selection that he has set up for today.

Usually the hired designers basically show us different designs for all the wedding events and occasions since buddhist wedding is not just about one day but series of couple of days. Sometimes the designers display a fashion show with models or mannequins wearing the designed outfits while we sit there with a drink and chat. Most of the high society people select something unique and expensive so it's better this way.

I don't care about it much but then it gives me an idea. I call Phuwin and tell him that I'll be late so let View start with her clothes first and I'll join them later.

When I reach there, I see View is almost done with her selection which is great. "Oh First!! You are so late!!" She walks to me throwing her arms around my neck. "Sorry dear, I got caught up in some urgent work" I say purposely and then place one quick kiss on her cheek. View's friends make some extra noises -"Awwwwww". I see a pair of threatening eyes watching us. I look at Khao and he puts a dress down which he was looking at and goes out of the room. Did he think I wouldn't notice it? He surely cares about it when acting like he doesn't care.

Bright couldn't come with me as I have asked him to keep Pond occupied. I just need some time with Khaotung!

"I selected the dresses I liked.....I've kept them aside so you can also look at them...I will finalize later" View says sitting back again. I knew there is no way she can finalize them in just few hours. I sit beside her nodding. "Let's start with the groom's outfits" She says and our designer nods clapping their hands to prompt to showcase. I see Khaotung slowly entering and standing by Shampoo - the designer - not even looking at me.

It takes about an hour for me to select couple of suits and traditional clothes for myself. View thinks we should match them with each other and with the event- which will take more time. "First, I have face clinic appointment for which I'm already late...I'll go ahead ok? You know I cant miss them since it should be done at same time every three weeks?" I nod. This is actually perfect.

"Yeah sure...I'm almost done too" I say.

View and her girlfriends leave after giving some instructions to the Shampoo. "Phuwin I need to discuss few things with you" Shampoo says. "Mr. First you can keep looking at them. Here are the ones which Ms. View selected. We'll be back" They points at the rack behind. "Sure" I say and they leave too. I look at Khao, he is busy with noting down something for View.

I pick up two suits and turn to Khao. "Which one do you like?"

He pouts and without looking at them properly, he says "Second one"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" he says with no interest.

I just want to lighten the mood. So I pick up one of my suit and one of View's dresses. "Now?" I ask again. "Second one" He replies again without looking. "Oh really! Do you really wanna see me in cocktail cut dress? For you I can do na" I say in teasing tone.
