Chances on Love

The Truth

Pete and Ae are early risers..
The next day they woked up before sunrise and watched as the sun rays brings life and light to the sorroundings.

After that they spend their mornings playing around the water and having fun..

They rode the jetskii, they paddled a banana boat..

The second couple, Can and Tin.. on the other hand were mostly spending time in their room..

At 9 AM, they all met each other in the restaurant for breakfast..

"Good Morning", they all said at the same time and smiled.

"Thought we'll never see you again.."
Ae said grinning with his eyes full of teasing..

"You enjoying yourselves?" Tin just smirked and asked back.

"Yes, Tin.. thanks for inviting us here.. this place is wonderful!.." Pete answered..

"Looks like someone still needs to sleep.."
Ae said looking at Can whose head is docked on the table..

"Well.. he's quite a handful. He doesn't want to stop.." Tin said while chuckling.

"Knowing Can.. His appetite must be huge.." Ae said laughing.

Tin then reached the hair of the person they were talking about and stroked it gently..

His little man has fallen asleep while waiting for the food to arrive..

"Yes indeed..."
Tin answered, then both Ae and Tin laughed..

Pete was just turning his head back and forth at the two confused but still tried to join the conversation..

"Can is always hungry and that's normal right? He will not be Can if he is not always hungry!!" he exclaimed innocently.

Tin and Ae looked at each other then Tin laughed and said..

"Well, I guess you have so many things to still teach Pete right?!"

Ae laughed back at Tin then grabbed Pete in an embrace then kissed his head..
"He knows but you know how he is.. so sweet and innocent.. just the way I like it.."

Pete then asked,
"Both of you.. are you comparing me and Can? or are you two just so perverted early in the morning?!"

The two just laughed their asses out.

Pete pouted irritatingly..
His lover constantly embracing him every now and then.

Then the waitress came and served their breakfast..

Can who fell asleep was awoken immediately after smelling food which made the other three laughed out loud, Tin just kept on smiling and patted Can's head non stop..

Can pouted... "I'm not your pet Tin.."

"I know Cantaloupe.. you're my baby..."
Tin answered then winked at Can..

The other couple just smiled at each other..

This vacation is indeed the best one they had so far..

After breakfast they all went to the shore to enjoy the beach.. Instead of staying at the beach lounger or cottages they laid blankets on the shaded part of the shore.

Tin was lying down with his shades on while Can is out in the water.. Ae on the other hand went to the restaurant to get some shakes.

Pete was in the other blanket inches away from Tin.. He spoke in a soft manner.

"Tin, are you asleep?" He asked..

"No Pete.."
Tin answered then laid on his side facing Pete then lowered his shades to his nose..

"Hmmmm.. I'm in a dilemma right now Tin.. I don't know whom to talk to.. and if I should Tell Ae about it.." Pete sighed.

"About what?" Tin reverted back..

Pete slowly told Tin everything about what he has been going through this past few weeks..

Tin listening sat down as he was suprised..
The only thing that he and Ae knows was the kidnapping incident and they were not aware that there are more than that..

Tin cleared his throat..
"So you never told Ae anything?"

Pete shooked and bowed his head down..
"How could I tell him Tin?.. There are only two people whom I think.. won't allow me and Ae to be together.."

"Two?" Tin raised his eyebrow..

"Yes.. I'm suspecting it's Chompoo.. remember what I said about her being so indifferent with me?" Pete stated.

"Yes.. I did recall you say that about her and how she is always trying to get Ae's attention.. but who is the other one.. Pete?" Tin asked in curiosity..

"Please Tin.. promise me.. you won't tell Ae about this.. Promise me please.. okay?" Pete begged.

Tin looked at Pete seriously,
"You know me Pete right?.. I won't tell."

"It's... it's..." Pete's voice trembling...

Tin is just listening closely..

"It's Ae's mother.. Tin.."
Pete took a deep breath..

Tin's eye widened in shock..

"Why are suspecting her Pete?.." Tin asked.

"She is the reason why I left Ae Tin.."
Pete's eyes moistened as he recalled how he begged Ae's mother to accept them.

Tin looked at Can who was building a castle now in the sand.. then looked at Pete whose tears started to fall after recapping the events that took place six years ago.

Tin still in a shock.. asked,
"And Ae still doesn't know about it nor he suspecting anything?"

Pete shook his head in response,
"I couldn't tell him Tin.."
"How could I tell him.. that.. I left him.. because.. because of his mother right.. and now.. I'm suspecting his mom is behind all of this.." Pete wanted to cry hard.

Tin moved from his seat and seated beside Pete then patted him in the back..
"Compose yourself Pete. Ae may come any minute and he'll wonder why you're crying.."

Pete tried to breathe in and out to cool himself down.. He didn't want to tell anyone.. but this has been weighing him down for a while.

Tin took a bottle of water that he bought earlier with him and opened it.

"Drink up." he commanded Pete..

The other followed and tried his best to feel okay..

Ae who was standing behind the coconut tree holding their fruit shakes in a tray was shocked..

His face is full of confusion, pain and betrayal..
His hands were trembling..

"Did I heard it correctly?!" he kept asking himself.

"Why is Pete suspecting his mother.. of all people?!"
