Tricked&Twisted

A Week Later....

Sarawat carries Tine inside the house even though Tine protests that he could walk by his own, Tine's parents and Luke followed them inside and Tine blushes when he saw his mom looking at them

"Sarawat!" Tine hits Sarawat's shoulder lightly as Sarawat lay him on the couch

"There, my young master" Sarawat said playfully as he bow at Tine who was blushing now

"I'm just weak, not crippled!" Tine complains in embarrassment, Sarawat sits on his knees near Tine and pats his head.

"I know but I won't let you lay your feets on the ground till you have fully recovered," Sarawat told Tine in a serious tone and kissed his forehead.

Tine grins in happiness and Sarawat smiles back. Both were lost in their own world, totally forgetting about others who were watching them.

"Erh, you two are done... can I get some water?"  Luke clears his throat to catch their attention and asked

Tine glared at Luke for disturbing them but Luke smirks seeing Tine annoyed and spoke "No? I will get it myself then"

"You all stay here, I will get everyone something to drink" Sarawat spoke as he stood. Before Sarawat could leave, Tine grabs his arms and pouts

"I want noodle, I can't feel my tongue anymore because of hospital's blande food" Tine said, giving Sarawat puppy eyes

"I will make you some" Sarawat said softly before going into kitchen

"Need help?" Sarawat turns around and found Tine's mom entering the kitchen

"No Thank you, It's all done," Sarawat said awkwardly as he cracked the egg.

Sarawat told Tine's parents everything, their reaction was as he expected. They were furious, they wanted Sarawat to leave but Luke calm them down

He made them understand how Tine wasn't fully recovered yet and if Sarawat wasn't with him, he might start to panic and refuse to take therapies

Sarawat was upset but he can understand Tine's parents frustration, their son's life was treated as an object

"Do you know when Tine met Day, he was so excited! The whole day he kept telling me how he met Day and how happy he was to meet him again. I have never seen Tine so happy before and that's when we decided that if Day was Tine's happiness, we will accept it" Mom said with soft smile as she recalls the moment

Sarawat clenched his fist tightly and decided not to speak anything, Mom watches Sarawat's reaction and sighs

"But things didn't remain the same, after sometimes Tine became dull. We were so worried, he told us how Day with him was totally different from Day he fall in love with..... we couldn't understand what Tine meant at that time"

Sarawat was surprised and looked up at mom, "Sarawat, Tine started to make himself accept Day though he always felt something was missing but then everything went wrong and he met you...... I got my Tine back, Tine used to talk about a stranger whom he met at a school concert, whom he used to stalk... we just want him to be happy" Mom spoke with smile

"Aunty..."

"Tine returned back to his previous self, he became happier, more relaxed and more of himself.... I know he really loves you and I won't stop you from being with him too because my Tine can't live without you...but.." Mom stops and looks at Sarawat with serious expression

"But what ?" Sarawat asked in worry

"Tine has right to know the truth, not now but soon tell him everything.... I hope you won't keep him dark like your brother?" Mom asked Sarawat
