Singto was restless. He couldn't concentrate on his work. He kept looking at his phone and then sigh. Krist had been gone the whole morning and still hadn't called him yet. He knew where he was as Frank was outside Knot's home. But still he hoped that Krist would come to his office or call him. He was missing him. He sighed loudly again and New smacked him.
"Can you stop this? What's wrong with you? You have important meetings line up and all you are doing is sighing. Krist is just at his friend's and he will be back soon. So please can you concentrate on the meeting?" New complained
He had never seen Singto like this. Like a lovesick fool. He smiled when he saw how impatient Singto was. He glared at New and picked the file to read the contract again. He had been trying since morning but he couldn't. He was worried about Krist. He knew that his friend's were his family especially Knot. What if Knot forced him to break their engagement? Or worse their relationship? He didn't want to lose him. He had now realised that Krist was his life. Really, he can't think of living without him.
His phone rang and he picked it fast.
"Hey, love. I hope I am not disturbing you." Krist asked
Singto smiled and said,"No. We were just talking. How are things over there?"
"Well, they agreed. I am so happy. Knot accepted us. They are a little upset that we are getting married in 3 day's but I convinced them." Krist said smiling
Singto smiled. He was very happy to hear that
"That's really great. Why don't you invite them to our place tonight? We can discuss the wedding plans."
"That will be great. I will tell them. I will be back in the afternoon, I think. Will it be ok?" Krist asked
"Can you come sooner?" Singto asked, he walked away from New. He looked out the window.
"Isn't P'New around? Do you need me for the meeting?" Krist asked worried
"I do need you but not for the meeting. I miss you." Singto whispered the last part
Krist blushed. "P, I will be back soon. The guys are going to office too. I want to go shopping. Is it ok?"
"We can go together. Wait, I am coming too." Singto said
"P, you go to your meeting. I will just go and take a look at wedding suits. I will come sooner." Krist said
"Ok. But..."
"I know, Frank is coming with me. Don't worry. I love you, P." Krist said
"I love you too. Please come soon." Singto said and cut the call. He was still smiling.
New looked at him and asked,"What's going on? Did you really mean all that?"
Singto sat down and nodded. New moved closer and asked,"Are you sure? I mean maybe you are just fascinated by him. He is very handsome and you were lonely for so long. Maybe that's why you want him close to you."
Singto shook his head. "No. It's not that. After she left me, I had decided that I won't let anyone close again but after spending so much time with Krist, made me realise that I have fallen in love with him. His smile makes me smile. The way he loves me and takes care of me, made me realise that I need him too. Do you know he is proud of me? He thinks he is not worthy. That I deserve someone who is richer, beautiful and a woman. He felt bad thinking that he couldn't give me a heir."
"I want to be with him. Love him like he loves me. More than he loves me. I don't want to lose him. I have lost so many things but now I don't want to. I want him to be with me forever."
New smiled and said,"I am happy for you really. You deserve love and happiness too. I am sure Krist would be great for you."
Singto smiled and hugged him. New patted his back and said,"Now, I want a real engagement party. I have appointed a wedding planner. She will come in the evening. We can finalize everything."
"Whatever Krist want's. I want the best wedding." Singto said
"And what about the contract?" New asked
"I have destroyed it. I can't risk Krist finding it. He would leave me if he learned the truth. I can't let that happen. Is there any other copy?" He asked
"I think Tay has one. Don't worry, I will tell him to destroy that. He is out of country for some time. I will talk to him soon." New said
"He isn't coming for my wedding?" He asked
"He didn't want to be a part of all this. You know that he was against this since the beginning." New said
"Hmm. Please talk to him and make him destroy that copy too. I don't want to take any chances." He told him
New nodded. He smiled and said,"Now, let's get to work. We have lot's of to do. One more thing, has Krist taken your credit card?"
Singto took out his wallet and checked. He saw his card's inside. New sighed and said,"Why haven't you given your lover a card? How is he supposed to shop for his wedding?"
Singto laughed and said,"Don't worry. Frank is with him. I am sure he will go to the mall and have you forgotten who I am? My lover just needs to take my name and they will fall at his feet."
New laughed and nodded. Singto still called Frank and told him to be with Krist.
Krist was tired. Since morning, he was busy with his friends and now he was going to the mall with Bright, who was talking like crazy. He had already made a million plan's on what to buy. They were sipping coffee and staring at casual clothes. Bright wanted to buy alot but Krist had stopped him. He didn't want to buy anything now. He wanted to come with his fiance to buy, so that they can spend some time together. Bright laugher when he saw that Krist had spilled some coffee on his shirt. Kriya felt embarassed and tried to wipe with tissue but it was no use
"Stop fussing. Let's buy a new shirt." Bright said
"Not now. Let's look for the wedding shop. P told me that P'New had made appointment for us. He will join us later, I am sure. Let's go there." Krist said
Bright nodded and they went to the direction. Frank messaged Singto about the location.
Krist and Bright looked at the outfits displayed. They were chatting and entered the shop
"May I help you?" A salesgirl came to ask
"Yaa. I would like to see the new designs, please." Krist said
"Sure. Do you have an appointment?" The girl asked and looked over Krist. She made a face looking at the big coffee stain. Bright noticed this and came to stand beside him.
"Yes. We do have. The appointment is on the name of Singto Prachaya." Bright said proudly
"Let me check." The girl said and went inside
Krist pulled Bright to one side and said,"Don't be rude. She is just doing her job. Let's check out the designs."
Bright nodded. They looked over and Krist selected some. He waved over to the girl and asked,"Can I try this?"
The girl scoffed and said,"Sorry but I can't allow that. These are limited editions and I can't have them spoilt."
Krist felt bad. He smiled weekly and was about to return them but Bright stopped him.
"Isn't it your policy to let the guest's try the clothes?"
The girl nodded. "We do have but we have the right to refuse service if we want."
Krist and Bright were shocked. Krist asked,"Why would you refuse me?"
"Please, just look at you. You must be a conman or just an employee of Prachaya industries. I am sure that you can't even afford them so why try them out and waste my time." The girl said
Bright was angry now."I want to talk to your manager now. Who do you think you are? I can afford this whole shop."
Krist stopped him and said,"Please don't create a scene here. Let's go somewhere else."
Bright wanted to argue but Krist walked out. Frank followed him. Bright glared at them as the girl laughed at him.
"Go on. Try somewhere else."
Bright ran behind Krist and stopped him. Krist was on the verge of tears. Bright hugged him and said,"She was a mean bitch. Don't ruin your mood because of her. Let's have something else."
Krist shook his head."I want to go home. Please Bright."
Bright felt bad. He took his phone and was about to call Knot but he stopped him.
"Don't disturb him. He is busy right now. Let's go home. Also you have to come tonight for dinner and the party. So you should also go home and rest. There's so much to do." Krist said
Bright sighed. He nodded sadly and hugged him.
"Don't let them berate you. You are the best and Singto is lucky to have you. Don't forget that. Now smile."
Krist smiled and said,"Let's go now. I am tired."
Bright nodded and left with him. He wrote down the shop's name. He will make sure to return later with Prem and Knot and make sure that she apologises.
Krist was still feeling upset. Today a salesgirl taunted him what will happen when Singto declares their relationship to the world? They will surely call him a conman and a gold digger. He sighed and just went to bed. He was too tired.
Ted knocked his door and asked,"Master, would you like to have something?"
"No. I will call you if I need anything. Thank you." Krist yelled. He took a pillow and covered his face hoping to fall asleep.
It was evening when Krist opened his eye. He felt better now. He took his phone and was shocked to see many missed calls from Singto and Knot. He sighed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He wanted to call Singto but he didn't want to disturb him. He felt fresh after the shower. He changed and went down to eat.
"Good evening, master. Do you want some coffee?" Ted asked
"Yes please. And also can you make me something to eat too. Am hungry now." Krist replied
Ted nodded and went to the kitchen. Krist was browsing his phone when he came across an article. The couple was gay and they had to quit their job. He became more stressed after reading that. What if Singto's business partners didn't like him being with a man and pulled out? What if Singto regretted in the future?
Krist sighed and closed his eyes. Why is everything so complicated? Yesterday he was so happy. He was engaged to his love and now he would have been preparing for his wedding. Instead he was sulking at home just because of some girl who made fun of him.
He was surprised when he felt a pair of arm's hug him. He moved closer to feel the familiar warmth. He smiled when a kiss was placed at his forehead
"What's wrong, baby? Why are you crying?" Singto asked worried. He was angry now. He would destroy the person who dared to make his lover cry. He asked softly because he didn't want to frighten him.
"Nothing, I was just feeling low." Krist said
"Please don't lie to me. You had gone shopping and then you came home feeling low. Something must have happened. Tell me na." He said softly.
Krist sighed and told him everything that happened at the store. Singto patted his back and said,"Change your clothes. We are going out."
Krist looked at him confused. "Where are we going?"
"Just change and come with me. Or better no need to change. You look handsome in everything. Let's go." Singto said and pulled him up. He held his hand and walked out.
Krist tried to stop him but he didn't listen.
"Atleast let me wear my shoes."
Singto didn't stop. Frank had brought the car and they sat in it. The whole way Krist kept asking where they were going. When they arrived at the mall, he looked at him
"We need to shop for our wedding. Come on, let's go." Singto said and led Krist.
Singto had always travelled alone with Nat by his side. He had more bodygaurds but he didn't like the crowd. But today he brought the whole entourage with him and Krist. Krist was baffled. He had never seen so many people with Singto before. He looked at him wondering if he was angry about before but he just smiled at him. Krist sighed and hoped nothing bad happens.
When they reached the mall, Krist was shocked to see so many people standing at the entrance. The car door was opened and Singto walked out with an arrogance. He held Krist's hand and led him out. An old man with few people came forward and shook his hand.
"Welcome sir. We are so honoured that you have come here. Let me show you our mall's special attractions." The old man said
Singto smiled at him and said,"You don't have to. I have come personally to shop for my fiance. Meet my fiance, Mr. Krist Perawat."
Everyone was shocked to hear that. They looked at Krist who was wearing casual jeans and T-shirt. Krist smiled at them, embarassed. If he had known that they would meet so many people he would have surely changed his clothes.
"Congratulations for your engagement, sir. Hope you have a good time at the mall. These people will be escorting you. You can tell them if you need anything." The old man said. Krist smiled at him and nodded.
They walked inside. Singto was greeted everywhere. He felt proud that his lover was so respected. Soon enough, they were in front of the designer shop. Krist looked at the name and froze. He looked at Singto who just smiled and said,"Let's go."
Before he could say anything, Singto had dragged him inside. The designer, Natasha, came over to them.
"It's such a pleasure to have you, sir. What would you like to see?" She asked
Singto looked over as if searching for someone. Frank came over and whispered something. Krist was curious. Singto looked at Natasha and said,"Have you forgotten who I am?"
Singto went and sat on the couch, pulling Krist beside him. Natasha was shocked. She didn't know what he meant by that
"How can I? You are Singto Prachaya, the business tycoon and also the owner of this mall." Natasha said, smiling
"Are you forgetting that I own this store too?" Singto asked, glaring at her
Natasha nodded and asked,"Did I do something wrong?"
"Today my fiance was insulted in this shop. He was humiliated. Even after taking my name, he was called a conman and a gold digger." Singto said
Natasha was shocked. She looked over at her staff who were standing with their heads bowed. She went over to Singto and said,"I am sorry for that. Maybe they didn't know about your fiance. I will personally apologise to her."
"Apologise then. He is right here." Singto said.
Natasha looked shocked but she didn't waste any more time. She knelt in front of Krist and said,"I am very sorry. Please forgive me."
Krist was about to say but Singto stopped him.
"Where is that girl who insulted you?"
Krist was afraid of what he would do to that girl. He could see her shivering in fear. He held his hands and said,"It's enough that she apologized. Let's just forget about this matter now."
Singto smiled and said,"I have to teach them a lesson so that everyone remember's who you are. You are my fiance and how dare they insult you. They have to pay for this."
The girl can forward in tears and knelt in front of them.
"I am so sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude to you. I apologise for my behavior. Pleaee have mercy."
Singto smirked and said,"So, Natasha, the culprit is here. How are you going to punish her?"
Natasha looked at her crying. She didn't have any choice but to fire her. She can't risk angering Singto. She was about to fire her when Krist spoke up.
"It's ok. I forgive you. But please, in future, be considerate with people. I know that this shop is very expensive but don't stop people from coming here and trying things. You shouldn't hurt their feelings."
The girl stood up and said,"I won't do it again. I am so sorry. Thank you for giving me one more chance."
Krist smiled at her. Singto glared at them. He wasn't happy. He looked at the girl and said,"Get me the latest design's now. Also get me some coffee."
Natasha nodded and went inside. Everyone started to bring suits, tuxrdo's and shoes to match. Singto just looked at them as if it was nothing new but for Krist, it was too exciting. He had never experienced such royalty before. Everyone had lined up to impress Singto and now they were trying to impress Krist.
Natasha personally brought her new designs and told Krist to try them. Krist nodded and went to the dressing room. When he came out, Singto looked at him mesmerised. He looked at Frank and he nodded. Within minutes, the entire shop was empty. Krist looked around and was surprised to see everyone gone
"Where did everyone go? Is it closing time?" Krist asked
Singto smirked and walked towards him, opening his jacket. Krist backed into a corner. He blushed when Singto came too close. He placed his hands on his chest to stop him.
"What are you doing, P? We are in a shop." Krist said trying to stop him
Singto went closer and turned him towards the mirror. Krist looked at his reflection with Singto hugging him
"What can I do if you look so handsome? I don't want anyone to look at you so I told everyone to leave. Now, just you and me." Singto whispered and kissed his neck.
Krist leaned back and asked,"Why did you do that?"
"What did I do?" Singto asked, kissing Krist's neck
Krist moaned."Why were you so rude to them? It's not their fault that they don't know me."
"Now, they will never forget you. Wow...you look so hot in this. We have to buy this. And what about our wedding tuxedo? Have you chosen?" Singto asked
Krist nodded.
"I want to see it." He whispered
Krist shook his head. "I want it to be a surprise. You will have to wait."
"Aww...such a tease. Why can't I see now? Come on na. Show me." Singto whispered and bit his neck.
"Aahhh...hmmm....P...let's ...go home...please..." Krist moaned
Singto smiled and kissed him. He took his hand and led him out. Outside, he saw Frank.
"Tell Natasha, to send all the clothes that Krist had tried. Deliver them to our home." He ordered
Frank nodded and went back inside to relay the message to Natasha. He smiled watching Singto get so possessive. He had told him about what had happened with Krist. He knew Singto would get angry but didn't know that he would declare Krist as his fiance.
As soon as they were inside the car, Singto claimed his lover.
When they reached home, they were surprised to see Knot and Tew. Knot smiled at them and hugged Krist.
"When did you guys come?" Krist asked
"You had called us here for a party and you forgot. How can you?" Knot asked, laughing.
Krist felt shy. Singto stepped forward and greeted them
"Where's Bright and Prem?" Krist asked
"They are on the way. How did you shopping go? Did you buy everything?" Tew asked
Krist nodded. "Almost. I bought the wedding tuxedo."
"Have you appointed a planner? Where is the venue?" Knot asked
"I have appointed and the planner will be here tomorrow. Why don't you help Krist with this? All of you are are welcome to stay here till the wedding." Singto said.
"If course, why not. I am surely going to stay here. I have to make sure that Krist is fine and happy." Knot said
Krist and Tew looked at him, surprised. Singto glared at him
"What makes you think that he isn't happy?" Singto asked
Krist rubbed Singto's arms trying to calm him. Singto patted his hands and said,"It's ok. I am not angry. Just upset that your friend's still don't like me."
"I do like you but I don't buy this idea of yours. Getting married on your birthday." Knot said
"Knot, I already explained about it. You had agreed so why are you questioning now?" Krist asked
"I did agree for your sake. But still I need to know the reason. Why are you getting in 3 day's? Why can't you marry next year?" Knot asked
Singto looked at Knot. He won't back down, he could make out but he didn't want to anger him either. Knot was Krist's family and what if he made him leave?
Singto was still thinking.
"Why are you silent? It's not too hard. Just tell me the truth." Knot said
"I will tell you the truth. Everything. Why Singto needs to marry in 3 day's? I will tell you."
Everyone looked at the person who had just entered.
"Uncle Ben!!!" Krist and Singto shouted at once.
