Hello, this chapter is very short, well at least it seemed so to me. I planned on posting it tomorrow since there are still some parts that need to be fixed but since it's already been six days since the last update I will just post it now, and continue to update it tonight along with chapter 71.
______________________________________
[Ae perspective]
The hottest day of the year has finally passed. Except for the fun of playing with water (Dior, has caught a cold from playing in water), I began to feel the kind of boredom that Pond said... because Pete has already gone to Germany with his dad.
He flew over to Germany last week, but it feels like it has been a whole month.
Because of the time difference between Thailand and Germany, I have less and less time to talk to him. Although we do talk over the Internet, this feeling is different from being able to meet and chat. The most interesting thing is that in Thailand the weather is hot, but it's cold in Germany. Every time I see Pete he's wearing thick clothes on the camera, it makes me feel hotter.
It's not that I mean to brag, it's really hot.
"You're sweating all over!"
I had helped my brother in his hardware store in the afternoon, and immediately ran to my room and connected to the Internet when I finished. I did a video chat with the person who was already waiting for me. Because my room didn't have air conditioning, it was not surprising that I had sweat, and then I had to see him in the camera, with his body wrapped in thick clothes.
"I feel even hotter when I see you."
"What's the temperature there?"
"Wait a minute."
I turned and picked up the phone, opened the weather app and looked at it, sighing heavily.
"36 degrees, but it feels hotter than 40 degrees." (Celsius)
After hearing my answer, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Now it is only 12 degrees here, the weather is very cool Ae ."
I know that he is joking with me, I made a very fierce expression, and then said to him in a very fierce tone: "When are you coming back? I want to get back at you!"
I told him, but he is not afraid of me now, he smiled a little. I also feel a little cool now, and I smiled at him. In a short time, he stopped smiling and said to me: "Although it is very cool here, I still miss the hot weather in Thailand."
I stared blankly as I watched him on the camera... This handsome young boy looked whiter in the cold weather. He showed me a warm smile, but I understood him very well I knew how much he thinks about coming home to Thailand.
He told me from the very beginning that he didn't want to go to Germany to see his father. He said that in his father's new family, he felt like an outsider. His was not very close with his half-brother. But his parents had already agreed at the time of divorce. He had to go to Germany to visit his father. After I finished listening, I told him that his father must have loved him, otherwise he would not ask such a condition, but he said ... "No, he is just showing off and can restrain his rights." (Basically he's being spiteful towards the mother for divorcing him although he was the one who cheated)
I know how his father is, but Pete, who has never said bad things about others describes his own biological father in a bad way. I think that his father is not a good person.
"There is only one week left." I said, he nodded, and his smug expression made me smile widely. "I saw your photo on Facebook . Didn't you go out with your brother?"
When I asked about this, Pete nodded again.
"You can be regarded as his brother. He is only 8 years old now. He feels like a small adult. Maybe the foreign environment makes him dare to show himself."
I think he still loves his brother very much. After a while began to act cute.
"But you haven't updated anything."
Look! I knew it!
I couldn't help but wonder as I looked at the person who wanted me to update some of my photos on Facebook. I really don't understand why he wanted me to upload photos. Every day I go to my mother's restaurant and my brother's hardware store, and I don't go out to play like him. If I want to post anything, I can only put some photos of myself. Moreover, I often chat with him everyday, though only a few minutes...
"I don't like taking pictures!" I still have the same attitude as before, Pete sighed.
"I just want to know what you are doing everyday." I laughed and looked at Pete like a shy child in the camera.
"Do I not tell you everyday?"
In the end he stopped asking, but you see, he will definitely ask me the same question again tomorrow, until I have uploaded a photo. I don't think he is annoying. I think that my boyfriend will feel like I am a very boring person (after taking pictures of what he does), and I feel that I am not like myself doing these things. But now, no matter what, even a small thing, as long as I can do it for him, I am willing to do it for him.
"Hey, I have to hang up first. I promised my mom that I would go shopping for her." I glanced at the clock and then quickly hurried away, but Pete grew more depressed.
"Ok."
I smiled and said, "I miss you." When I finished, I ended the video and didn't want him to see my shy face. Then I walked out of the room and felt that the hot weather became a little colder.
I really fell into the charm of my boyfriend, as Pond said, and there is no cure.
"Uncle Ae, can you take me to eat desserts?"
I was looking at something that looked fascinating when a small hand pulled at my clothes and I looked down. Yim is now a bit taller than last year, and in a few months it will be her third birthday. There are more and more words that she can say, and now her speech is clearer than before. I sometimes even wondered if my niece had seen Can...but my niece was much more lovely than my friend.
"Wait a minute, wait for Uncle to finish looking at this." I answered my niece and reached out and patted her.
Today, I came out to help my sister-in-law with something, but in fact I was playing at +the mall all this time. When I was walking with Yim, my eyes were attracted by some things in a shop. I stood in front of the display window for a long time. Yim ran back to me and said, "Uncle, I am hungry."
Yim said, and I was hesitating when my sister-in-law came back.
"Ae, what are you looking at?... Ah, I will go take Yim to eat desserts first. Yim, your Ae uncle will follow us soon."
After seeing what I was looking at Nat smiled heartily, and her tone seemed to be mockery of myself, so I didn't know what to do.
"But I want to eat with Uncle Ae."
Yim's pronunciation was much clearer than before, and my sister-in-law picked her up and said to her: "After awhile Uncle Ae will come over, isn't that right Ae?"
How do I feel that their voice is imitating me, but I nodded and watched the mother and daughter walk toward the ice cream shop, and then looked again at the things in the display window again.
"You can try it on, and the store can help you adjust it!"
The worker came out and said to me. I smiled and responded, yes, the thing I was looking at was... a ring.
A very plain silver ring, there is almost no pattern. It is also not very expensive. But it is so attractive to me, so I had to stop and look at it. In a few months, it will be me and Pete's anniversary.
I picked up the silver ring and looked at it. I remembered that I had not given any gifts to Pete. Only he would give me things...I realized that every time I commemorate the day, Pete will invite me to go out to eat, or go to the movies, and sometimes will give me some small gifts. He is very consistent for each of our anniversaries.
Pete never expects something romantic from me, he just wanted to give me these wonderful memories ...... .Shouldn't I also be able to give him a little happiness?
I picked up the ring and tried it on. I looked up and saw if the size would suit him, and then handed it to the worker.
"Would you like to engrave it?" I stared blankly and nodded. When he asked me what I wanted to engrave, I couldn't think of anything. I looked down at the bracelet I had been wearing, and then smiled...
I think I already know what I am going to do
[Pete perspective]
I finally returned to Thailand.
I got up from bed and a breeze passed through my room. The sun shone through my window. I rode the plane from Germany for many hours and it finally landed yesterday. I told Ae not to pick me up at the airport because I arrived late in Thailand. So I could only met him today.
"Hey, the young master, you just came back. Where are you going so soon?"
'I just had to go out'. Aunt Jiu asked, and I smiled and answered her loudly. My mother who was listening couldn't help but laugh.
"Go to see my very special person Aunt Jiu." After that, I quickly ran out of the house and heard the curious Aunt Jiu ask my mother; "Mrs. Who is this special person of the young master?".
I don't know how my mother answered her, but I know that my mother knows me the most.
It didn't take long for me to drive to the mall in the city center where I hung out with Ae and his friends last month. But today, there was only Ae who was waiting for me while playing on his phone. When I saw him, I immediately smiled brightly, and I realized that I was thinking of him.
When I saw Ae he looked different from the last time I saw him. He said that he had just cut his hair, and today he even wore denim trousers with a dark shirt. Sitting really still with his legs open and his back straight, shoulders looking strong.
Who said Ae is not attractive? He is so attractive. In my eyes... he is the most handsome, the coolest, the most attractive man.
I stood there like a madman, looking at my boyfriend. Watching him for nearly a minute, then took a deep breath and walked toward him and stopped in front of him. The shadow that passed over him when I walked over made him stop playing on his phone, and then look up at me.
He smiled.
I smiled.
At that moment, I felt like there was only the two of us in this world. Ae reached out and grabbed my hand. "Welcome home."
I have never felt like this when returning to Thailand. It is such a happy feeling. I really feel very happy now and very warm. Not only because he grabbed my hand, but also because of the feeling in my heart. I want to tell him, but in the end I only say... "I am back."
Then I sat on the same side of the bench with him. I didn't care about the looks from everyone around us. I didn't care if people thought we both came out on a date, because Ae said that he didn't care. So I wouldn't care about the looks from other people. Ae went to buy me something to eat, and sat next to me, staring at me. When I was eating, he took my hand and touched my hair.
"Do you go to Germany every year?"
"Until I turn 21 years old." I continued to explain to him: "It's just the age when we will graduate college Ae. To put it bluntly, he wants to take care of me before I grow up. This is a way for him to show off his rights."
Ae nodded. He now knows that I am more afraid of my father because I am afraid that I will once again create a gap between my parents. Then he picked up a paper bag and handed it to me.
"What is this?" I asked, I couldn't believe my eyes. Ae's eyes were actually dodging me, his hands shrunk back and he scratched his chin.
"A gift." I frowned.
"Birthday gift? But my birthday is already gone, and you..."
"Well, I forgot your birthday, don't make me remember it! I am already blaming myself."
I couldn't help but laugh, because my birthday has passed for almost a month. Because it was at the same time as Ae's final exam. I didn't want to bother him so I didn't tell him about it. Even though Ae never asked about my birthday. I thought he knew it, so I was a little depressed and a little angry. How could he forget my birthday? He got up early in the morning and went to my house to apologize. My mom laughed and laughed. Ae is a very careless person. I have had a deeper understanding of him after dating him for a year, so I was so surprised when I saw the gift in front of me.
"What?"
"Open it and see!"
Ae turned to look at me and said. I carefully opened the paper bag, inside is a small square box, very delicate looking, I gently shook it.
Clunk! ~
I immediately heard a very clear sound, and I turned and looked up at him.
"I don't know if you will like this gift." He cleared his throat and I wanted to say that he should know, that no matter what he gave me, I would be very happy. I was very excited to open the box and look at it.
"!!!"
Really I am never disappointed! No, I never held such a high expectation for him. I thought in my heart that this might be just a small thing, but I didn't expect that this little thing would have such a big meaning.
"This ring." I muttered to myself, staring at the pair of silver rings that were tied with a pale pink ribbon. I looked up and stared into his eyes with excitement. My hands began to tremble, and the ring in the box was shiny. Ae again eluded my eyes.
"The worker helped me to tie it. He laughed so ridiculously that I wanted to go up and hit him. I don't know what he is laughing at?"
Ae became more and more shy. I know, because his face is getting redder. I want to hug him and tightly tell him how happy I am. But because we are in the mall, I have to give up that idea. I looked down at the rings in my hand again, and my face began to get hot.
"Which one is mine?" I whispered, almost in tears. Ae turned to look at me again, then picked up the ring tied with a pale pink ribbon, untied the ribbon, and held up the ring...
"This one is yours."
My curiosity was immediately peaked, and I really wanted to know what was written inside. I immediately took the ring and looked at it. I only saw three letters. No, this is definitely not my name, because my name has 4 letters and the ring says... YOU.
I gasped, then looked at the ring in Ae's hand, he handed the ring to me, and then whispered, "No joke! I could only think of this." I wouldn't laugh at him, I picked up his ring and looked at it, it said... ME.
I picked it up again. Others might be confused about you&me, but I looked at the bracelet he was wearing on his wrist and gently blurted out; "for you...from me."
From me...to you.
It may not be necessary to engrave our names on the two rings. As long as we have the same mind and know the meaning... it is enough.
"Is this one mine?"
My voice seemed a little excited. I hate that I asked to meet here, wrong, I actually hate Ae who is touching me here when I felt like crying. When he clutched my hand, the hate in my heart disappeared. He put the ring for you on my finger. He wanted to put it on my middle finger. But it wouldn't fit.
"Hey, you bought the wrong size." He looked very depressed while he stared at my hand with the ring on. I picked up the ring and changed the finger and put it on.
"It fits." I showed him the ring on my ring finger.
I felt very shy when I smiled, and then said to him... "Do you know? Some people say that wearing the ring, on the ring finger, on the right hand is for couples who are going to divorce, but because of tradition, it is necessary to wear it."
Ae gasped and felt worried by my words. I stared at the ring on my hand and continued, "But some people say that the ring is worn on the ring finger on the right hand side, which means that the person is already famous. There is a Lord...so I believe the latter..." I paused and continued; "I am already yours, Ae."
I shyly said, glanced at him, saw that he was staring blankly. At first glance I knew that he did not know the meaning of the ring, because he did not specifically want to put it on the ring finger and he was wearing it on his middle finger. But he is now taking the ring off and putting it on his ring finger on the right hand side...just right.
"That means I bought the ring and bought it in the right size."
He said to me, then he moved closer to me and said softly in my ear; "You are already mine, you have to remember this."
Listen, no matter how much time has passed, he is still the Ae who speaks straightforwardly. He always inadvertently says something that makes me feel shy, then he continues to tell me... "This ring is a token of our relationship. The gift for our anniversary."
"It's not our anniversary yet."
"I will still give it to you first, or I will forget to after I go back."
I sighed and then laughed.
No matter how much time has passed Ae is still very careless. Actually, I am too embarrassed to say that I was afraid that he would forget our anniversary. I smiled and wanted to hit him on his shoulder, but I stopped myself and then whispered in his ear: "The next time I will remind you."
Ae also said: "Remind me every year."
Did I hear this sentence correctly? Will he be with me every year? !
[Ae perspective]
I really want to kill myself now, then dig a hole and bury myself!
We are driving to Bhagwan. I sighed. Although this is Pete's car, but today I am driving. Why are we going to Bhagwan?
After Pete came back from Thailand, I still wanted to work at home like before, but I also wanted to stay with him. I met with him for no less than two days a week, and then I remembered that I promised him to go out to play together last year.
We have been to Pranburi last year, so I plan to take him to Hua Hin this year.
We have already said that it will be fine to go for only one day, and it will be fine to leave early in the morning. But I blame myself for telling Pete that it's alright to go hang out with Pond. This bastard invited us to play with friends from high school. Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, they are not available. But The most unfortunate is that this bastard not only brought a group of friends instead, but no, he brought friends from college.
I looked at the car behind us from the rearview mirror. It was a very familiar car. It made me depressed.
Pond was very adamant and called Can to go out to hang out with us. Then Can invited Tin to come to hang out. It was a good honeymoon for us two people, and now it has become a group outing!
Finally, I parked the car in the famous water amusement park near Hua Hin, and the three cars in the back followed. If you think that it's only me, Pete, Can, Tin and Pond, you're mistaken...
"Ah! Great! Pete, today I have to show off my beautiful figure for you!"
I don't know how Pete's senior, Money, was invited to come. Nobody asked him. Pete hadn't even said anything and he was immediately pulled by a tall, burly man in a skirt.
"This is great, I have long wanted to come here to play! How can this opportunity be passed up!"
He is talking to Bow who was with me during the singing contest. Pond looked very excited, and Ping was with him also but he carried the bags and followed behind.
"I would you like to go to the seaside of Hua Hin tonight, I want to eat seafood."
"Bow, if you didn't come with me today, my dad will definitely not let me go. So I will go back after one day."
Cha-am, whose father regarded her as a jewel, was taking out her cell phone and taking a photo with Bow.
"Tin, look over there! It ran down like this... and then slammed it down..."
Can excitedly said, I looked in the direction of his fingers, he was dancing to the water slide in the distance, hopping to play on it. I really don't understand how Can could have a boyfriend like Tin! Even his own boyfriend gave him a blank look.
"Aren't you acting too much like a three year old?" He said slowly, looking impatient, but Can did not pay attention to him. He jumped about while holding onto his boyfriend's neck, and then pulling him quickly toward the amusement park.
"I forgot to bring the camera!!!"
"It's the same when you use your cellphone. Lemon hey, I think there is a photo booth in the amusement park. When you get on the ride, someone will take pictures for you."
I turned and looked away sighing heavily.
I forgot to say, Can not only invited his boyfriend... but also invited his sister, and then his sister invited her own friend.
I looked at Can's who was dragging Tin, and then looked at the screaming Bow with Ping following behind. Behind me, there was Money and his sisters who were very excited, and I was ... sighing again and again.
"Ae, his blessings should be shared, his friends... and you are very attractive."
I didn't look at Pond who was patting my shoulder. He seemed very sympathetic to me on the surface, but his face showed was clearly relishing this, so much that I...
"Ah! Ae is angry!"
I couldn't bear it anymore. I reached out to hit him. Pond shouted loudly and ran towards everyone else. I couldn't help but swear, feeling that someone was standing by me, he was... ... Pete.
"Having a lot of people here is also very fun!" My boyfriend said slowly, but his smile was very embarrassing, and it was estimated to be similar to my feelings. I sighed again: "Remember to remind me next time, don't let me talk to you when you come out again." !!
He replied slyly: "Well, I will remind you."
Finally, I followed everyone to the amusement park depressed, and sure that this honeymoon meant for two people would be so ruined...
