The Accidental Break In

Part 3

Let it be known that I am a proud father of the least secretive guy on earth.  

And because I am not oblivious, I always knew when there was someone new in Arthit life.  Someone who made him equal parts mad and excited on the very first day of his job.

Then the changes that followed.  He became happier. His always prickly mood lighter and warmer. A softness in him that was rarely found before.
The better managed temper and the all around sunny dosposition of my Arthit.

And I had put the peices together long back. Yes that part too - where the new someone is a guy- will always be a guy.

Oon's the easiest person to read in the world. And he used to be very bad at being a typically secretive teenager.

There were plenty of reasons why this thing between them was such a  bad idea as my daughter pointed out just now.

And as I see Arthit growl at the sister he had always adored,  I realised Oon has found someone important enough to work through this bad idea anyway and make it into something amazing.

The way he was looking at Kongpob ,my son's face taut with anger, as though he were the one insulted and questioned, I knew that maybe if I tell him to choose, he would choose him over us.

He will cry while doing it, beg me not to do this. Kongpob would offer to leave.
But Arthit would leave with him.

Something inside me warmed seeing the way they looked at each other.
So deeply, so unwaveringly. Wrapped up in their own intense bubble.

Reminded me of my own wife. Who would have definitely liked this boy. They would have got along like a house on fire with their obssessive need to protect my son.

The way he 'greeted' us shows that he takes my son's safety far more seriously than us.

I decided to put them out of their misery.

I would never have a problem with Oon's choice. Not the fact that he is a guy (as I knew Kongpob was surely worried about) and definitely not the fact that he sacrificed himself for his country a million times over. The rest is just unecessary excuses.

Also I think my daughter needs to stop giving her future brother-in-law a hard time just because she is still angry him about pointing a gun at her daughter. The poor guy did not know any better.

Underneath she is probably as awed by this guy as Arthit is.

"What kind of hand gun was that? "

Kongpob looked startled at my sudden question. And wary.  His eyes grew wide and it looks so funny. I could not help grinning.
I felt my daughter relax against the couch too, knowing play time is over.

"A Glock .45"
Hmm.. Thought so.

"Ever tried the Desert Eagle? " He nodded dumbly. Confused as hell.

" Welcome to the family, Kongpob " I said and slightly winked.

Both looked so adorably confused now.

"What..  Ummm.. Why Dad ?.. " Arthit slowly asked.

" He's rich. We will get an excellent dowry. "

My daughter burst in laughter. Kongpob sighed in exasperation or maybe relief.
Arthit was huffing, 
"Aww.. Por!!! Come on... "

...................

"You do realise that there is a grave conceptual error in their minds, right? "

"What? "

" You are not their future son-in-law. I have not said anything about marrying you. "

" But we will get married. "

" Over confident are we? "

" Yes.  Because I love you too much to leave you alone and you love me enough to let me stay. "

(Some moments later when Arthit finds his voice again.)

"If that is your idea of a proposal, it sucks! "

"Trust me p'..You will know it when I am proposing to you. "

Author's note : Oh my god I am 2 years late. XD. But suddenly I missed this fandom and thought of posting this last part I had in my drafts for who knows how long. Enjoy (? I guess.)
