"If I could get everybody's attention" the announcer said
Everybody stopped talking and turned their attention to him
"This ceremony is about to start and that means sit down"
"Why can I hear Faye talking through him" Team asked
"Because they seem to have the same attitude" Sara said
"This ceremony is to celebrate the beginning of the adulthood of a very beautiful woman"
"A kind hearted, wise and pretty woman"
"Isn't he sugar coating it a little bit" Jay asked
Team and Will laughed
"Now presenting a very special dance"
The spotlight shone on the entrance door
As it opened, the first couple came out
Manaow and Pruk
"What the" Team didn't know what was going on
Next was Dean and Pharm
"What is this" Team asked Jazmane
Jazmane shushed him
Tristen and Tina
Eena and Kevin
And finally, Loyal and a cute little girl
"Who is that" Team asked
"Be quiet" Will said
All the couple came in with the hands and elbows connected
The music stopped and a slow and beautiful melody started playing
All the couples started to dance in sync
"Isn't this too much" Team asked
"If you step on my feet, I will kill you" Tina said
"You were the one messing up during rehearsal" Tristen said
"Isn't this beautiful" the announcer asked
The music stopped again and the couples stopped dancing
The audience clapped for them
"It is my honor to present the woman of the hour, Faye Evelyn Yosirithin"
For some reason, everyone stood up and turned their gaze to the door once again
Faye walked in looking so beautiful. She was wearing a body fit fading blue dress
Faye smiled as she walked to the center of the ballroom
Everyone stood still and was clapping, they were mesmerized by her beauty
The announcer gave her the mic since she had something to say
"Thank you, thank you very much"
"I didn't expect for it to turn out like this, more beautiful than I had anticipated for"
"Each of everyone one of you are here not only to celebrate my 21st birthday with me, but also to know that you are very special to me"
"I have dreamt of this day and have always wondered who would be there and who wouldn't"
"And now, my question have been answers, thank you all for being here"
"You are all my friends and family"
Everybody clapped
"Next, we have the mother of the Faye who would like to say something" the announcer said
Beauty got up, fixed her dress and walked to the center
She hugged Faye as she was proud of her
Faye handed her the mic
"Faye, my brave, considerate daughter, I am so proud to able to call you that"
"You have always been so strong and determined, you got that from me"
The audience laughed
"Truth be told, I always thought I couldn't raise you to become a independent, smart woman, but you have proved me wrong"
"I am so glad for that"
Beauty chuckled as she held back tears, so did Faye
"I love you and I am happy I will always be your mother"
"Thank you" Faye said
"Come here" Beauty hugged Faye
They broke the hug and Faye got back the mic
"Did you hear that, P'Team" Faye asked
"She loves me more" Faye said
"Now, now, I love you equally, but if I were to have favorites, it would be Loyal" Beauty smiled down to Loyal
Loyal giggled as he ran and Beauty carried him
"Really, mom" Faye asked
Team and Faye knew they will always lose to Loyal the moment he was born
Beauty went back to her seat
"Now, I know what you are thinking"
"They all have someone to dance with and yet the birthday girl is alone"
"Who was thinking that" Jay asked
Team looked around as a joke
"I don't know" Team said
"Shut up" Jazmane said
"I actually have someone that I want to introduce to the people who matters to me the most"
"He is someone that was my first friend in college"
"He has always been there every time that I was stress, sick or ready to give up"
"I am grateful for him and now I happy to say he is the love of my life"
Aya was sitting in back seat so that nobody would see him
But when he saw that Faye was getting emotional, it prompted him to rush to her side
"Who is that" Will asked
Team shrugged his shoulders
"Hey, don't cry" Aya said as he covered her face so nobody would see
She doesn't like crying in front of people
"You look so handsome" Faye said quietly
"You look amazing" Aya complimented her
Aya wiped her tears and Faye deeply sighed
"Are you okay" Aya asked
"Yes" Faye said
"Are you sure you want to do this" Aya asked
"Everybody have already seen you, I can't take it back now"
Aya stand beside her and held her hands
"This is my boyfriend, Aya"
"This event isn't only to celebrate my 21st birthday, but also to tell the world about my three year relationship with Aya"
Faye looked around and saw that her parents looked confused, but not angry
She saw that Team looked a bit shocked. Team felt a bit betrayed that his sister kept a secret from him
But could he blame her, he also kept secrets from her
Everybody else looked happy, clapping and wishing them a long life together
"I have to go" Team said
"Where" Jane asked
"To the bathroom"
"Right now" Jazmane asked
"Yes"
-
Team was confused on what was happening right now. His old friends were here, dancing and happy
Why are they here?
Did they forget what he did?
Team turned the tap water on and splash some water on his face
He heard the bathroom door open, he didn't mind who it was and continued washing his face
"Confused" the person asked
'Win' Team thought
He turned the water off and looked in the mirror
"Can't speak" Win asked
"What are you doing here" Team asked
-
"Hia, no matter what happens, I will love you okay" Team said
"Why" Win asked
"Nothing, I am just saying"
"I will always love you too"
This was the last video call that Team and Win had before Win came back from England
It was Team's last promise to Win before his decision
-
"Better question; why can't you say you love me" Win asked
"I have already apologized to you, why does that matter" Team asked
"It does, it changes everything"
"What does it change mine or your feelings"
They stood there in silent
"Hia" Team said
Win was taken aback by what Team called him
The nickname and Team's favorite name for Win. Somehow, Win felt good when Team called him that
It reassured him
"Let's stop" Team said
"This was never going to last"
"What" Win asked
"I will always love you"
"But I can't be with you when everything seems to want us separated"
"What things? You are the only one stopping us" Win said
Team couldn't bear putting Win through pain again
"I haven't forgiven myself for the pain I caused you, and I don't trust myself to not put you through that again"
"Then trust me to help you" Win said
"How"
"Just trust me"
-
"You are back" Jane said
Team nodded
"Why did it take you so long" Jazmane asked
"Lots of people in there" Team said
"Why do you look conflicted" Jane asked
"No, I don't" Team said
"People, people, stop arguing" Faye said as she stood in front of them with Aya
"Hello" Aya wai'd to show respect
"So he is A" Jazmane asked
"Yes"
"You knew" Team asked
"She merely described him" Jazmane said
"P', I am sorry that I couldn't visit you at the hospital, we were still keeping our relationship a secret" Aya said
"Why were you keeping it a secret" Beauty asked
"We just wanted to make sure that we're going to last a longer time before we told anyone" Aya said
"Congratulations" Manaow said from behind them
"Thank you, P'Manaow"
"The dance you choreographed was awesome"
"Don't just thank me, Tina also helped" Manaow said
"Where is she" Faye asked
"Where is Tristen" Eena asked
"Where is Jay" Team asked
They looked around and didn't see any of them
"Doesn't matter, what matters is my gifts" Faye said
"Seeing that all of you are here, it means you got me a gift"
"Is that all you care about" Team asked
"Mom, P'Team is antagonizing me" Faye whined
"Team, stop it" Beauty said
Beauty, Soy, Faye and Aya left to go cut the cake
"Hey, Team" Pharm said
"Hi, the dance was truly amazing" Team said
"Thank you"
"Hello, P'Dean" Team still felt a bit nervous around Dean
"Why do you look so tense" Dean asked
"I...I..." Team couldn't form words
"All I can say is, if Win forgives you, then I forgive you too" Dean said
"Thank you"
Team smiled at Win, who was behind Pruk
Win was happy knowing that everything was back together just like old times
Team was happy that everything was settled, but, he still didn't know if he wanted him and Win to be in a relationship again
"Huggg" Manaow suddenly hugged Team
"That scared me" In said
"I have missed you too, Manaow" Team said
-
"Can't you just keep this a secret" Tina asked
"Tina, come on, you know you felt something" Tristen said
"I don't even want to think about it" Tina said
"Why is such a bad thing" Tristen asked
"Really, you have to ask"
"Tristen, your ways are known, every girl in our city knows you"
"Why does that matter" Tristen asked
Tina sighed in anger
"What was the name of the last girl you slept with" Tina asked
"I don't know, Ella, no, Emily... I know it starts with an E" Tristen said
Tina looked at him in frustration
"Her name was Luna" Tina said
"Really, how do you know"
"Because I actually got to know her"
"None of that matters"
"It does, I am not like those girls-I am not like your one night stands and you will not treat me like one"
"I won't treat you like that"
"Right, how am I suppose to know that"
Tristen couldn't answer the question
"Know what" Jay asked
He was exploring the venue when he saw Tina and Tristen arguing
Tristen and Tina looked at Jay
"Don't say..." Tina was about to warn Tristen
"We slept together" Tristen didn't care anymore
"There, cat's out of the bag"
"You dumbass" Tina said
"Cover it up now" Tristen left
