Once In A Twilight Encounter

Chapter I - Goodbye Thimphu

Gun's POV

“Faster Gun. You are almost late for your flight”, I let out a sigh as i heard my mom screaming downstairs.

For the 20 years in my life. This is the first time that I'm leaving my hometown, and not to mention, it wasn't just any other out of town vacation that I will be.

I'm completely leaving Thimphu. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not excited to leave my town. As a matter of fact, I opposed to my mom's decision to leave this place.

I can manage to be by myself. That's always been my routine ever since. But I'm not mad at my mom or anything. It's fine for me to be alone, because I know she's getting herself every single day just to give me completely three meals a day -even though my biological dad, also give me financial support, yet, she uses the money to provide my education.

Now she re-married again to Rick, her high-school sweetheart. Reunited because of a certain party hosted by a common friend of them, which is a great example of coincidence. In other words, fate brought them again.

So who am i to oppose my mother's happiness right? I love her and she deserves it. But I also do love my dad. Although, we don't talk much, because he's a one quite busy cop at Macedonia, and I clearly understand that.

My parents life doesn't only revolve around me. They still have theirs at the first place before I came in the picture.

Now, she told me to live with my dad. Settle down at Macedonia, so I can have a stable education.

Because on Rick's part. Being stable in one place is impossible. He's a freelancer. He have to go from one place to another, and they said it would be a complete hassle for me and to my studies. They can't even afford to left me alone here in Thimphu. It will just cause them to worry more. That's why they decided to take me to Macedonia.

“Are you ready Gun?”, I lift my head to look at my mom smiling beside Rick, and smiled.

“Ready”, and I hope Macedonia too for me.

“Honey. Remember your cousin White? He's also entering the same college as you do. You'll gonna love Arcadia”, My mom said as she turn her head to me at the back-seat.

“You may never know, Gun. You'll also find what you're looking for there. That's where I find your mom”, I chuckled as I saw my mom flushed red and hit Rick at his shoulder because of his remarks.

“Silly. If my son does not focus on his studies and spent his time in looking for girls, or maybe boys, right son?”, I flashed a small smile at the side of my lips and rolled my eyes 90 degrees at her.

For the record, I don't out myself at her. I don't even think, I'm gay or such. I still don't find one anyone interesting for me, or got myself attracted.

She just assumed things. Just because she always saw me reject the girls confessing to me ever since I was a kid.

I told her. I just don't think this romance or love thing is something I should prioritize at the moment.

But she's already assuring that if ever who or what gender. I may get attracted to. It will be totally fine, and I guess I'm glad on that part. I can say that I have a one cool and open minded mom.

“Mom. I told you. Those things is still out of my list”.

“Whatever you say, darling. Just don't forget if you have one. Call me right away okay?”, i thought she oppose that thought and slip that out? oh my god.

“Mom?!”

“Okay! Okay! I'm just saying in case of emergency”, she said as she raise her hands up in the air and stopped herself from smiling before returning to seat straight on her position.

“So much for the education focus huh?”, I heard Rick said and smiled sheepishly at my mom, which made her rolled her eyes at him.

I smiled upon seeing their moment, and turn my head to look outside the window. To capture my hometown for one last time at my head.

Love? That can wait. I have only one our purpose in leaving Thimphu and staying to Macedonia, and that is finishing my studies. Nothing more. Nothing less.
