"Plan"

"Khub"

Plan stops whipping the cream, and turns off the blender as his dad calls him. He comes out to the living room and finds his father already sitting on the couch.

Today is Sunday that is why Plan's bakery is closed and it is holiday for his dad too. It makes both of father and son to be home unlike the other days. Although bakery is closed, Plan always busies himself creating the cakes, recipes and testing new menus. And if he succeeds, he never hesitates to go back to the shop and makes his creation official on his shop. So yes its like he gets no holiday.

"What is it, Por? Are u hungry?"

"No. I just had my breakfast after jogging with Mean's Por"

"Then is there anything I can do for you Por? I have left my cake on hold"

"Ughh You are busier than our King"

My dad tells me sarcastically while laughing.

"Thats because its my hobby na.. just tell me quickly na na Por"

"Okay Okay.. Phew poor me. I need to talk like I am chased by a tiger even with my Son.. I nearly forgot what to say.. oh yes.. Mean and you, what are you two?"

Because of his dad's words, Plan is a little confused. What are we??

"Human??"

"Right. I thought I was a father of a monkey. Seriously Plan, I mean what relationship do u have between you and Mean? Are you two boyfriends?? Like in romantic relationship?"

What the hell!!! Is my father ok? Is he alright? What kind of question is that?

Even though I am a gay, what is with that question?

"Por, what are u asking!! He and me are friends since in Mae's wombs. We grew up together. How can I like him when I know how many days he can live without taking bath"

"I'm just asking if you two are in a relationship, we are fine with it and you can openly tell us"

Shivers!
Although Plan was nearly to puke hearing his Dad thinking about a romantic thing between him and Mean, he doesnt talk it out as he is afraid of his Dad's walking stick.

"Choosing your life long partner is important son. Whether you are a girl or a boy, whether you like a girl or a boy, your choice needs to be right for you"

"I know, Por"

"It is just that the way you two behave make me think..."

"No Por. We are just friends. I am even playing cupid for Mean with the girl Mean likes"

"Like, Plan. Its like not love"

"Its like you are forcing me to have something special between us. If its what you want to say, no dad we are just friends. Thats all"

Plan surely stated that Plan's dad only nods at his words and sighs.

"If you two are just friends, dont be too close with him"

What is with this too? Dont be too close? Plan and Mean have always been closest among everyone. Plan is close with all from the squad but he is closer with Mean's cousin Perth and closest to Mean.

"What do you want to say, Por?"

"Its just Mean's Mom wants Mean to date with her friend's daughter and she hopes to make an engagement between them. So she just wants Mean to be free from every type of rumours. I guess you get what I want to say, son"
