She continued " Your dad's decided that the kids of both the house will get married to each other's if it's a boy or a girl they didn't mind and about Tay

I still remember you two were kids playing and one day a dog chased you Tay fought with the dog and saved you, you came home crying saying that Tay got hurt because of you and after that you and Tay used to stick to each other everyday.

One day you came to me and dad and said you love Tay and Tay will be the one you will be marrying you were a kid yourself who didn't know anything and you were talking about love marriage" She had tears in her eyes when she told him the past it was one of the  wonderful memories she had of them

"But looks like you have completely forgotten his existence in your life it's ok you don't have to rush things, Tay is a sweet boy he understands" She said there was a bit of disappointment when she said the last sentence.

"You don't have to be sad son" She said looking at him

New stared to feel more guilty he wants to go to Tay tell him he loves him but he isn't sure he is scared of rejection what if he don't love him anymore and he don't want to lose what he have now.

"Isn't it's better you talk to him and clear the air between you two but do apologize to him" She said having a small smile and New don't know how to react he never felt this before the warm feeling that his mom made him realise that he is wrong in a different way he don't know what he was feeling, so he just smiled and went to talk to Tay.

But Singto stopped him in between and asked him leave Tay alone for a while New wanted to argue but he went against it.

Singto led New outside to where the tree is grown " P this tree I don't know it looks familiar like there's kind of a bonding with it why" He asked staring at the tree

" That because you and Tay planted it 20 years ago promising each other's that you will always be together with each other maybe that's why you felt it" Singto said remembering the past.....

Singto's pov

Today we were going to have a lunch with our neighbors but the two trouble makers are missing both our parents are worried me and krist decided to go out and search for them, when we were about to leave

" P Tay why don't you allow me to carry I was the one who searched that plant"

Came two boys from the gate inside Bricking but still one of them pouting

" I told you I'm going to carry it who knows you might fall with it" Tay was telling a pouting New it was a scene to watch if not for this situation.

"Do you two have any idea what you did to us here"

The two boys heard a angry voice coming from dad's, they looked up with a innocent face as if they didn't do anything

"Dada what happened" Tay asked New's dad he didn't dare to ask dad,

same goes with New he asked dad what happened these two boys know how to play with our minds so i call them troublemakers.

We couldn't say anything they just sighed " Nothing where were you two did you forget about lunch? " Dad asked Tay, he smiled showing all his teeths and showed a plant in his hand.

Where did they get this from? Who gave them? As far as this place is concerned no one gives plants only rich people stay here they talk only business and nothing more.

" You know what there was this aunty who came near me and New she said she have a plant and took us out of the gate when she gave this she said it will always remind us about love, and you know she disappeared after giving that she didn't even take money"

Tay said very excitedly as if she did some magic or something but why do she have to give it to such small boys who don't even know the meaning of love.

But seeing their excited face I kept my mouth shut

"P Tay will you just talk and talk or are you planting that plant" New said annoyingly 😂that baby boy is surely cute when he is mad.

The two boys with their small hand planted the plant where both of our house connects "Newwiee I promise I'll be by your side always ok" Tay said showing his pinkey finger

" Me too Te I promise I'll be with you forever " New promised it's a scene to watch our parents are also looking very happy tho these kids don't know what they are talking it looks like the promise is ceased.

End of flashback

New had tears in his eyes he remember this this is what he dreamt of when he was looking for connection now it's clear he knows he loved Tay from the past, but dont know if Tay will still accept him.

Seeing this Singto just hugged New and that was it new started to cry in his arms.
