Kongpob nervously shifted from one foot to the other. He doesn't even know why he's so nervous. It's not his first time meeting Krystal's mom. He has seen her plenty of times over the years. She used to give them rides every now and then, but now that Aim has a car, it hasn't happened for a while now. It's funny how all these years he has never met Arthit through Krystal though. He whips his head to the side to make his loose bangs go up. Both his hands are holding bags of piping hot food. His mother really went overboard knowing that the food is for his boyfriend's family. She says she is helping him make a good impression, and earn some brownie points for rainy days. Kongpob can only roll his eyes. Why is his mom like this? Is she normal? Are other moms so extra?

He takes a deep breath, and carefully raises his right hand that's holding bags that must be containing bricks inside to ring the doorbell.

Ding Dong. Ding Dong.

"P'Heng! Come in!" Krystal happily greets Kongpob.

"Hi Krystal." Kongpob steps inside, and tries to balance himself with all his bags while he toes his shoes off.

"Oh, that's a lot of stuff. Let me help you get some of those bags." Krystal reaches out to take the bags in Kongpob's left hand.

"No. They're really heavy. Just show me where to set them down."

"Oh, the kitchen. Follow me." Krystal quickly leads the way to the kitchen.

"Here. Just put them on top of the counter. P'Heng, how are we going to finish all this food? This is too much. Let me get some plates." Krystal grabs a stack of plates from the cabinet.

"Yeah, I was going to cook, but my mom insisted on cooking instead. She made all her popular dishes. I hope you guys will like them."

"Oh, I love your mom's food. That's why we eat at your restaurant so often." Krystal is really excited about the food. There's even dessert Fak Thong Gang Buad (pumpkin sweet soup). This beats ordering pizza again.

"Hahaha... I'm sure my mom would be happy to hear that. So, how's auntie doing?" Kongpob asks as he looks around to see where Arthit could be.

"Oh, mom is resting in her room. I'll go get her. She should come down and eat before the food gets cold." Krystal can see Kongpob looking around, but she purposely doesn't mention her brother who is in the bathroom.

"Oh, I can plate these while you go get her." Kongpob offers.

"Sure! I'll be right back." Krystal leaves Kongpob in the kitchen alone.




"Krystal, do you know what you want for dinner? How about noodles from Somsong? If we get pizza, I want pineapples on it." Arthit walks inside the kitchen looking down at a paper menu in his hand.
