Forever with You

Chapter 15

Back to the secluded area, Phana had already told Beam the Top Secret. Beam's hands were shaking when he opened the brown documentary envelope and took all the documents inside. But, when he saw the man in the pictures, Beam couldn't stop his tears from falling. He didn't know what to feel. All along, the man was just there, right in front of him yet he didn't recognize him.

Phana hugged Beam. He caressed his back gently, "Beam, we're not a hundred percent sure yet. You two still have to undergo the Close Relationship DNA Test."

Beam lifted his head and looked at Phana's eyes, "I know. Thank you, P'Pha, for finding my identity. You're the best cousin in the whole wide world."

He kissed Beam's forehead, "Have you forgotten already, Beam? I'm your only cousin in this whole wide world, for Pete's sake," reminded Phana with a silly grin.

"P'Pha, thank you for accepting me as your cousin even after knowing that we're not blood-related. How can I thank you enough?"

"Hmmm? A kiss on my cheek, and a help to own, N'Yo. How's that?" Phana broadened his smile.

Beam smiled, then kissed Phana on his cheek, "Fair enough!" Wayo was his friend and a classmate.

"By the way, have you two met already?" asked Phana referring to the man in the picture.

"Yes. During SOTUS gathering and lunchbreak. He even praised me for playing the violin so well. He said that I would surely become a great violinist in the future. And before we headed here, I gave him my lunch," Beam smiled.

"Let's go to the food court and grab something to eat. We haven't had our lunch yet. And I bet, he is still there."

"Yeah. He sure is."

While waiting for their order, Beam sent Forth a message.

"Hon, I'm with P'Pha right now. I know that he is not allowed in there so we're having our lunch here at the food court. By the way, I'll be staying with P'Pha tonight. Don't forget to eat your dinner on time, okay? I love you, hon!"

When the message was successfully sent, he put his phone on the table and peek a glance at the Hazers' Haven. Everyone was already there. He saw his handsome boyfriend as well, and Knot Ittikorn, his brother.

Beam's gaze locked on Knot. Who would have thought that he had still a family left? Even without the test, Beam could tell that they were related by blood. He could sense something towards Knot, somewhat a sense of connection.

Out of the blue, Beam asked while still looking at Knot, "P'Pha, why is he like that?"

"Who?" Due to confusion, Phana answered Beam with a question. "Forth or P'Knot?"

"P'Knot. Why is he always like that? Seems happy outside, but actually it doesn't reflect in his eyes."

"Maybe, he knew already that he was, too, an adopted. Or, maybe, due to unrequited love. I really don't know, Ai'Beam. Why don't you ask him?"

Beam took a deep breath. "I can't just simply do that, P'. We are not even friends. We are strictly under the 'Senior-Junior' zone."

"You have no other choice, Beam. Remember, we are gathering samples for the test. And, I want you to keep the secrecy of this matter into the maximum level. We cannot jeopardize the life of P'Knot. What if he didn't know that he's adopted? Leave that part to his parents. You've been there. You know how it feels like. Do you get it, Beam?"

Beam nodded compellingly. He could only swear that once everything was over, he would make it up to Forth.
