24

What the gangs saw really horrified. Arthit on the floor with trembling Kongpop in his arm, tears run down their cheeks. The room really messy. Many broken things on the floor.


Kongpop still struggle in Arthit's arm. But it is a weak struggle. Arthit look up to see the whole gangs is there. The pleading look in Arthit's eyes make Toey and Ohm understand. Act quickly, Ohm blocking the door with his body to prevent the gangs entering the room. Bright who the first snapped.


"WHAT THE HELL!!!"


"Don't you all dare to move from your position now. I'm work here"


One glare from Toey shut the gangs up.


Toey exchange a look with his husband. Receiving a nod, he sighed.


"Arthit....."


The said person look at him. He force his smile when he saw how terrible Arthit right now.


"Nong, P' is done. It is all in your hand right now. Only you can save Kongpop. He is longing for you for 2 whole years. Being away from his love life is a torture for him. His insecurity, his witnessed how God forcefully took you away from him, lead him to have this kind of fear. I prefer to called it panic attack. I can only help him with a drug. But you know really what his best medicine, what he need"


Toey cracked a soft smile when Arthit widen his eyes.


"Nong, all Kongpop need is not drug, nor the pills or injection i always gave him when he got panic attack. All he need is you. His Arthit. His love life. Your presence is more than enough to reasure him that you are real"


His tears slowly fall down his cheek when he saw Arthit caressing Kongpop's cheek lovingly.


"Let him feel you, nong. Let him know that you are not only his dream. You are here with him. You are here for him. You are back home"


Toey cover his mouth to prevent a sob that almost escape. His body trembling when Arthit open his mouth. And with hoarse voice, Arthit managed to speak.


"Kong..... i'm..... home"


Kongpop's body in Arthit's arm frozen. His arm blindly reach up and meet Arthit's cheek. The haze in his eyes dissappeared.


"Ai Oon?"


"I'm..... home"


Arthit smile warmly at his fiance and then all hell broke loose. Arthit coughed violently. Some blood dripping from his mouth. Alarmed, Kongpop quickly get up and held Arthit in his chest tightly when the older guy going limp in his arm.


"P'OHM!!!!"


Ohm jolted hearing Kongpop's scream. He is torn between Arthit and Toey. He saw Toey fall on his knees, sobbing uncontrolled. He really want to calm his beloved but Arthit's condition need him. A tap on his shoulder startled him. Tew gave him smile.


"Go with P'Arthit, P'. I will take care of P'Toey for you"


Nodding in agreement, Ohm quickly hauled Arthit in his arm and run to his car. Kongpop, his and Arthit's parents and Arthit's gangs followed behind.


Kongpop help Ohm to open the front door, only to meet a teenager who, in his gesture, want to press the bell.


"TEE!!!"


"DAD!!!"


Both Ohm and the teen look at each other in shock.


"How did you get here, son? Ah, never mind. Must be your mom"


Tee look at the person in his father's arm.


"What happen to P'Arthit?"


"Need to cheek up. Internal bleeding. Follow me to hospital after you meet your mom, okay? He is upstair"


"Sure, dad"


Tee look at the group who hurriedly got in the car and leave. He then calmly get into the house and looking for his mother.


Tee start to panic when he found his mother crying. With some peoples he doesn't know.


"Mom? What happen?"


Tee quickly embraced the crying guy in his arm. He rubbing a circle in Toey's back to calm him down.


"Mom?"


"Just a moment, son. Please..."


Few minutes later, Tee release his hug when he feel that his mother already calm down. He help Toey to stand on his own feet. But his arm supporting his mother by his waist.


"Ok now, mom?"


"Yes, i'm fine"


Reliefed. Toey eyeing the other occupants in the room.


"I'm sorry"


"What happen actually?"


Toey gave his attention to Wad.


"I just fall too deeper in their feeling. This is my first case that i allowed myself to used my feeling freely. I don't know why but seeing them, i can feel the hurt too. The hurt, the hope, all the emotion"


"They will be fine, right?"


"They will. Trust them"


"Mom, let's go to hospital"


Nodding, Toey let his son to lead him outside followed by the others.



They meet the gangs and the parents outside the operation room. Tee help his mother to sit down and he quickly sit beside him. Hugging Toey and put his head on his shoulder.


"Kong?"


Toey knew that Kongpop really worried now.


"Trust him, will you?"


Kongpop nodding his head.


"Toey, can i knew who's this boy?"


Toey gave his attention to Kongpop's mother.


"My son with Ohm. Tee Pawat. 15 years old. 1st year in high school"


They widen their eyes.


"Biological son?"


"Yes"


"How?"


Toey chuckle.


"Have you all forgotten that i'm a doctor? There's many possibility to have children even you are gay. Let just say that there is a kind woman who kindly enough to let us borrowed her womb for Tee to grew up"


"He look like you and doct Ohm"


"Our perfect mix. Actually i also surprised when Tee born that day. He have me and Ohm feature. That woman have no part in his feature"


"Wait! If nong Tee is 15, how old are you both?"


"Me and Ohm? Bet me, you will be surprised. I'm actually 40 and Ohm is 38 this year"


"No way! You both look so young!"


"Yes way, nong. Me and Ohm already married for almost 20 years"


Few minutes later, the door open and Ohm tiredly walked to them. He sat next to Toey.


"How's him?"


"Don't worry. It just a shock because he using his voice. He never use it for 2 years after i told him that he lost his voice that day. That bleeding didn't put him in danger. This is the second miracle happened to Arthit. The first one is the time when we found him dying and the second one is this one. Arthit's voice returned. It will take a bit longer but it will return. Slowly. His legs also will heal. Just take the therapy like always. I don't know for how long it will take for him to fully recovered. But we have to be with him always. To support him. His condition will always put him down. You know what i mean right, Kongpop?"


"I understand, P'"


"You all can see him after one hour. We will move him on ward"


All sigh in relief. And Toey can't help himself to roll his eyes when all the eyes on his little family.


"What?"


"Nothing, P'. Just a bit funny to see you being sandwiched by two people"


"This is what you get when your husband and your son are so freakin' tall and you are the smallest in the family. Don't worry, i get used to their behaviour"


Toey let out deep sigh when the hug around him getting tight. And he received some chuckle from the gangs.



3 Months Later


Arthit squeezed Kongpop's hand when the younger guy kneeling in front of him.


"Nervous?"


Nodding. Kongpop chuckle.


"Don't be na my love. I'm here with you and will always hold your hand"


"Cheesy"


Kongpop laugh.


"But i meant it, love. I will always be with you. Now and forever. Hold your hand until my last breath"


Arthit smile when Kongpop nuzzle his cheek on his palm.


"But i'm glad everything is over now. I hope there's no more incident like this in the future"


"We can just hope, Kong. Who knows what will be happen in the future, right? Just embrace what we had right now. Cherish it while we still can do it"


"Also, i'm glad that your recovery is going fast"


Kongpop smile warmly when he touch Arthit's neck gently.


"Slowly na, love. Don't give up. I knew your voice still hoarse and you still can't walk properly. But always remember na. I'll be here with you. We face it together. Lean on me"


Arthit tearing. Kongpop smile warmly and wipe his tears.


"Thank you for always waiting for me. Put your trust on me. Loving me. Our love life will not be always rosy in the future"


"I knew it, love. Meeting you, Ai Oon, i called it destiny"


"And our journey, i called it SOTUS"


"Huh?"


"Story of true love between us"


Kongpop laugh but stopped when Aim and Earth approach them.


"It's time"


Kongpop gave Arthit's forehead a soft kiss before he stand up and walk behind his beloved.


"Ready, my love?"


"I'm ready"


Kongpop push the wheel chair. Aim and Earth hold the double door for them.


Once more, Arthit look up to see Kongpop also staring at him. His heart warmed. He then face to the front. Arthit ready. He is ready to face the future. With Kongpop. Not as a senior and junior. Nor as a lover. Nor as a fiance. But as a husband. He smile. A warm smile.


'I love you my love'
