Compared to the feeling before, Arthit's feeling toward Kongpob now was much better as he listened of what happened to Kongpob after he ran away.
Mr Suthilak told him that, First of all Kongpob had found him everywhere. He didn't sleep for multiple days until he has accident and loss of consciousness several day. After he was aware he refused to treat himself and tried to get out from the hospital because he want to find Arthit. Even his condition was too much worse but he was very stubborn, he secretly ran away from the hospital at the midnight and they found him again when he fainted on the road.
After that they decided to detain him at the hospital. He had cried everyday and didn't eat food. Even though he was considered living, it was actually just living to suffer.
Kongpob's health from day by day get worse and worse even his father had promised him that he will not force him and he will support his relationship but it seemed couldn't help at all until the middle-age-couple came to visit him. Didn't know what they talked to him can make him returned to life again. He agreed to eat and treat again. Not long after he asked his dad to work in the company and tried his best to work until Mr Suthilak believed and left the company to his youngest son.
(He never stop finding you even once. Do you know? Why did he try to work so hard? Because he want to find you and maintain himself to be sure that no one will have power over him and force him to do what he doesn't want especially no one can stop him to find you. I saw in my own eyes without you in his life he was empty as a shell, barely seeming alive at all as if he would just drop dead in the next moment. He had lived day by day just only one hope that he can meet you again.)
Every word of them making Arthit's heart clenched like a vice. He had mixed feeling in his heart and finally the whole suffer can reduce.
Not long after Kongpob and Minnie came back. Minnie ran to hug Arthit as soon as Kongpob put her down. Kongpob was walking from behind his baby, seeing his parents here but he didn't feel surpris just seemed like he can predict already about their intention.
" Mommy! Minnie miss mommy so much." Minnie said and kissed both Arthit's cheek like usual.
Arthit smiled at her cutie behavior. He was sure that Kongpob would buy her something so she need to cover up before Arthit scold her.
" Minnie buy what? Let's mommy see it."
As Arthit said like that Minnie pursed her lips in to a pout and then turned to look at her daddy. Kongpob saw his daughter looked at him with her pouting face, making him smiled softly to her and hurriedly explained to Arthit.
" I bought a teddy bear for her because we forgot to bring her teddy bear from Korea. Don't be angry at her, Just angry at me."
" I have no reason to angry at my baby just only teddy bear. You said like I'm a unreasonable person."
" No...no..P'Arthit. I don't mean it."
Arthit has pretended to be upset in front of Minnie and Kongpob.
Minnie hurriedly hugged her mommy's neck tightly and trying to coax him.
" Oh...Oh... Don't mad at daddy. Good kid should not be angry easily."
After little girl has spoken, everyone in the room especially Mr and Madame Suthilak couldn't help but laughing at a little cute girl's word. Arthit shyly pursed his lips as he was coaxed by his daughter, indication that he couldn't angry at her. He kissed her head and told her to greet Kongpob's parents as he just had forgotten that they were here too.
" Okay... mommy stop angry anymore. Minnie say hello to grandpa and grandma."
Minnie looked up and see her grandparents was sitting on the sofa not far from her and Arthit. She smiled and obeyed Arthit's word by greeting her grandparents quickly: "Sawandee kha, Grandpa, Grandma."
Both Mr and Mrs Suthilak look at their dear granddaughter, feeling gratified to her talkative and lovely behavior.
"Well... my granddaughter! Good girl."
Mr Suthilak said and smiled to Minnie while his wife standing up and walking toward her granddaughter, asked to carry her. Minnie extended her hand to let her grandma carry her.
"My dear granddaughter. Miss you so much baby." Madame Suthilak embraced her and kissed her cheek several time making Minnie laugh out loudly as she felt ticklish.
" Minnie miss grandma too."
Hearing from Minnie lovely replying, Madame Suthilak was loving her granddaughter more and more. "My little granddaughter is a sweet talker."
"Let's grandpa hold Minnie too." Mr Suthilak could not hold back anymore when he saw the lovely interaction of them and he really want to embrace and kiss his dear granddaughter like what his wife did too.
Minnie looked at her grandpa and then she extended her hand to him as she let him carry her. Madame Suthilak handed Minnie to her husband.
First time for him to carry his granddaughter, Mr Suthilak was excited and feeling warmly. He was stroking her hair and kissed her head gently that his action made Arthit felt happy and trusted that Kongpob's parents didn't hate Minnie but they really love her and accept her from bottom of their heart. This time truly helped Arthit to decide everything easily without hesitation.
After they had lunch, Kongpob's parents asked permission from Arthit to bring Minnie together with them back home as they want to spend the time with her. They had already invited Arthit to have meal at Suthilak mansion after he discharged from the hospital tomorrow. After that they both can bring Minnie back together with them.
At the first Kongpob didn't dare to say anything as he had thought that P'Arthit wouldn't allow his parents to take Minnie with them but Arthit's answer was made him surprised because he easily allow them without hesitation. So that mean he agreed to have meal with Kongpob's parents tomorrow too. Kongpob couldn't help but smiled happily. It such as the positive sign from his P'Arthit toward him and his parents.
At evening, Madame Suthilak came over with a lot of bags that she had brought all of them for her dearly granddaughter. At the moment she went in the living room, she saw her husband and granddaughter playing together happily. She knew clearly that her husband always wished to have grandchildren so badly but their daughter didn't have partner yet and their son never open his heart for other. She felt hopeless but now Arthit had brought them a beautiful lovely granddaughter. For her it was not different to gift from heaven. She is very thankful to him and made a promise to herself that from now on no matter what happened Arthit would be only her son life partner. No one else deserves than him. She was setting her mind on this son in law already.
When Minnie saw her grandma was standing next the door. She smiled and called her name sweetly: "Grandma!! Did you come back?"
Madame Suthilak suddenly felt lighter and emotional. She walked in and sitting beside her granddaughter and husband. She caressed her hair softly, feeling like everything is just the delusion of her.
" Minnie, What are you doing?"
" Drawing a panda bear with grandpa."
" And?"
" Waiting grandma come back."
" Minnie is the best. Look at this, grandma had brought a lot of thing for Minnie." Madame Suthilak smiled happily because of Minnie's sweetly word, she quietly opened the bags and took a thing inside, gave it to Minnie.
" Really?" Minnie said with her cheerfully tone.
" Yes, take a look at this, like it or not?"
" Wow... Minnie like it, thank you grandma!"
" Tonight sleep with grandpa and grandma, okay?"
Minnie nodded her head, smiling because she was busy looking at her new toy.
" But if Minnie miss mommy, tell grandma, grandma will take Minnie to meet mommy."
Minnie shook her head then she said: "Minnie is okay. Grandpa told Minnie that let mommy and daddy find a brother to play with Minnie so Minnie should not disturb mommy and daddy."
Minnie innocent word made Madame Suthilak speechless while Mr Suthilak laughing and he also get a glare from his wife as he should not teach a little girl like that.

At the night in the hospital...
After Kongpob finished his work that he had brought form the office at this afternoon. He talked something with Jay for awhile before Jay left so it have only Kongpob and Arthit tonight.
Now Kongpob is taking a bath in the bathroom. Arthit is talking to Minnie on the phone. Hearing her cheerful tone and happy laughing, Arthit let out a sigh of relief. First, he had thought that Minnie would cry and want to come back but she seemed comfortable with her grandparents. After he hung up the phone, Arthit looked straight to the bathroom door with his heavy expression, he felt so strange and didn't know what he supposed to do. He leaned against the back of bed with his thoughts flying around. Even he decided to give both of them a chance but he didn't know he would start from where. If let him open his mouth first, it's really difficult but if he didn't, maybe Kongpob didn't too as he had promised him that he would not force him anymore and let's take a step of their relationship slowly.
The sound of door opening interrupted Arthit's thought. Then he turned to look, his vision was filled with flesh... he cheek was red as much as like tomato because of what he saw. Kongpob's hair was wet and he was half naked, a white towel wrapped around his waist, water drops slide down his chest and abdomen. Arthit blushed and looked away. No matter how many time he had seen Kongpob's body, he could not stop himself from blushing.
Kongpob laugh lightly: " I'm sorry P'Arthit. I forgot to bring the clothes with me. But you already saw me naked several time P. Why would you still blush?" Kongpob said while his face still smiled.
Hearing his voice, Arthit immediately replied: "I don't have thick face like you. Hurriedly wear your clothes."
" Yes P."
With a smile, Kongpob quickly put his clothes on and take another towel with him, walking toward the bed.
Arthit still looked at other side, feeling the wetness and heat behind him, he blushed even more.
He turned around and saw Kongpob was very close to him.
"What are you doing?" He said with his quiver tone.
"P'Arthit Khab. Help me dry my hair please?" Kongpob begged and brought his head more and more closely.
" No..." Arthit pushed away Kongpob's wet head and said. " Do it by yourself."
" Na khab P'Arthit." Kongpob still begged with his puppy eyes.
" No..."
" P'Arthit...na khab.. na na na."
Arthit secretly curled his lips up into a smile, taking the towel from Kongpob and said.
" Turn your back."
" Khab Arthit." Kongpob hurriedly did what Arthit order with his exciting.
Arthit bent his knee on the bed behind Kongpob's back, gently wiped Kongpob's hair like he used to do before.
The sweet memory of them had flashbacks to their mind. Arthit never thought that after they are apart more than 4 years, he and Kongpob can back together again. His heart felt very satisfied and warmly.
" Thank you so much for forgiving my parents, P'Arthit."
" Hmm... they are honestly to apologize me. How could I deny them?"
" However I'm still thankful for your kindness. I love you so much P'Arthit."
" Emm... I know."
Kongpob turned around and rushed to hugged Arthit so tightly. He didn't know why he suddenly want to cry.
" I love you.. I love you..I love you so much... Do you hear it P'Arthit? I love you so much.. sorry that I had hurt you.. sorry for leaving you alone... sorry for everything... sorry.."
Arthit smiled as his eyes also became a watery with emotional, he returned the hug to the childish boy.
"I know... I already forgive you."
"P'Arthit, I had promised you that I don't force you anymore. I can wait, wait until you open your heart to me again. But I.. really want us to be together again. I regretted the time that I lost especially during the time that Minnie growth. I don't want to regret more than this anymore. Please let's start again."
Arthit felt Kongpob's burning hot and moist tear on his neck and his heart felt as if it had been tightly gripped by a huge palms. He was not damaged alone but Kongpob was damaged by him too.
Maybe this time he should reduce his stubbornness, left the past behind and do what his heart wants. He want to be with Kongpob. He want to build a family together with him and their daughter.
He slowly nodded his head on Kongpob's shoulder and said in a low tone: " I love you too,Kong."
There is no other word than the word of love from the person you love more than your life can make your heart full of happiness and hopefully.
