7. Changing bedsheets

After being settled with a delicious breakfast and having a tea

David opened their conversation "arthit, you took one month leave for honeymoon right!"

That opening sentence brought goosebumps to kongpob skin but he knew they were married unless to his position,arthit was thoughtful he accepted to this marriage and ready to face the responsibility, unlike him who was forced.

Arthit gave a thin smile "yes dad, but I want to postpone our honeymoon vacation, I had some emergency surgeries .." he replied cautiously cutting some slack of nervousness in kongpob

David shook his head "no, son, you both need to spend your time, just go somewhere and have time for each other, once you start working, you'll not find time to spend with your husband" he reasoned out

Arthit rub his nape "dad, we just want to spend time here and get to know about each other first." Arthit has the freedom to talk with his parents they never have any boundaries between them

David indicate his head in understanding "remember, you accepted for this marriage, and you need to be careful"

Arthit sat their nodding his head in silence

Jack glanced to kongpob "son"

Kongpob was looking nervously at the thought of what his father in law is going to say "we all know this is arranged marriage,"

He nod in acceptance yes, it is an arranged marriage fro you all except me "yes, dad" he answered for anxious david

david hummed saying the rest of the story

"...one day your father came to me, asking me to get you married to my son"

David was in a tactic moment of silence for a second comprehending on what he conveys to his son in law, he is trying not to hurt him, he is choosing his words wisely

"....I could not say 'no' to my friend and I respect him from my childhood....and I did ask my son if this match is okay for him, he said he was okay with arrange marriage, I don't understand with what confidence my son agreed to marry you or trust this relationship, ..." david and jessy discussed numerous nights on arthit marriage but looking to their being confident and assuring them they were flooded in relief but still they care for arthit and kongpob relationship.

david took a sip of water before continuing his worry "...arthit, said he likes you just by looking at your photo..which I cannot believe..."

arthit coughed, and his mom handed him a water glass

kongpob sat there not understanding what was this all about, but hearing arthit likes him that assuagement fondled him with a feeling relief to his constricted heart,atleast he was not forced but he simply accepted this marriage as a responsible son, though he had the responsibility just the word arthit 'liking' him put him his deed of fear at ease for now.

david keeping an eye on kongpob he continued to say ".... all I am saying you both should learn about each other and please don't bring any bad mark to our families..." david is looking with a fixed gaze to his both son's

And they nod their heads in acknowledging about what david is worried for...

David gave a small smile to them he got up from his chair " I am off to work"

Arthit was slumber surfing in deep thoughts, about what his dad said, he remembers the meeting that was held with his father and kongpob father, he remember telling a yes just by looking at the photo, he just normally gesture his head as he felt it's somehow it's his responsibility to get married and his parents never asked him on anything, asking him to get marry is the first thing his parents ask him for and he knew he never interested to date anyone and neither he is ready to open his heart but somewhere in the corner of his heart he just want to believe once in this marriage the sudden surge of feeling he got when he take a look to kongpob photo, that face made him believe in something which he cannot just grasp what it is, daily he used to stare at least for two minutes to kongpob picture in his gallery, he could not say what his feelings are but he keeps staring to the photo in his gallery from last one month it became his favorite photo in his phone gallery.......
