2021-10-30 21:04:53Nana said, “All I wanted to do was to ensure that your life-partner was capable enough to stand and support you in the position that you inevitably be in. Whoever it would be must be at that level, an equal, a backbone to you. I am only making sure of this. My actions towards Pai would have been the same six months back, as they are today.”
It had now dawned on Siri and Pai that Nana was truly doing things as she had seen fit and it was clear that her intentions were to ensure that her grandson could have a happy life with his chosen partner. Mrs. Thanawat was looking at the two men expectantly.
It was Siri who cleared his throat, “Nana, I ..I didn’t understand..I..but why didn’t you let us keep in touch? Maybe if we had talked regularly, I would have seen your plans, instead of being so deep into my own issues and drowning in worry ..”
Nana nodded as she sipped her tea, “Well, yes. And if it was six months back or if you were not married, I would ha

After that emotional talk, the three people in the room decided to take a break. While Grandma went to freshen up, the two lovers hugged, seeking comfort in each other’s arms. They found that after the clear support from Nana, both their hearts had somehow calmed down. Their whole beings seemed to have relaxed and there was hope bubbling within them. The happiness that the lovers felt at the acceptance from the old lady was palpable throughout the house.Siri decided that they should have something to eat as he knew his grandma does not prefer eating any takeaways. Her meals are specially made at the house. It was also one of the reasons why she did not stay away from home for long. The two lovers set about making some eggs and toast, refiling the tea and setting the table.It was a little while later that Nana joined them at the table. She took a bite of her eggs, smiling. She had had an early morning and hadn’t eaten on the plane.“Thank you

Two Months Later******************************Sirichai Thanawat involuntarily smiled as he read the email from his latest client detailing a request. If it was any other time or situation, the young man would have decided to flat out reject the request or ask someone else to take care of it. However, with his situation right now, Siri saw the perfect opportunity and so he replied back accepting the request. He dumped back on his chair and enjoyed the happiness that was bubbling in his chest right now.A lot had happened in the past two months. While Siri and his Nana had chalked out the details and started putting the plan in motion, Pai was working as hard as he could to take in as much information as he possibly could. Pai was soon be working in his 3rd department and he was not seen slacking at all. He was doing well and no one was prouder of him than the Thanawat matriarch herself.Mrs. Thanawat ha

Six Months Later******************************“Yeah Pai, I’m so happy..” Siri said as he laid down on the bed, watching Pai relaxing at his apartment in Chiang Mai. He couldn’t help but grin when Pai opened a bottle of pink-milk for himself. As had become a routine, the two lovers were relaxing in their respective bedrooms, video-calling and just catching up on each-other’s day. Siri had ensured he visited Pai at least once a month in the past eight months.Things were progressing rather smoothly on both their ends. Siri and Nana were working swiftly to end the marriage and also have that Chinese contract finalized. Siri had not been seen with his wife in almost seven months now. Boonsri and her father were also pressured into keeping a low-profile with the threat of defamation. Pai was working extra hard and was by now passed through most of the departments.

Eight Months Later: Pattaya Office******************************The huge lounge area of the posh Thanawat offices was cramped with employees, cheering and happily shouting. The big TV was showing the bossman, Sirichai Thanawat's press conference where he was making public the recently signed contract with a Chinese Conglomerate. This was a huge deal as it would make Thanawat Enterprises the top producer of Smartphones in the country. The deal will also give the company access to major market share in China, which in turn will lead to several more contracts.Pai was standing in one corner of the room watching the elation that the rest of the employees were freely displaying. The deal had involved departments from all three offices and it was only natural that the employees were happy that their hard work had paid off.

Three Months Later: Bangkok******************************"Ahh...Siri..," Pai moaned as Siri bit and suckled at his sensitive collar bone. The older man was clutching and pulling at Siri's shirt, in what looked like an attempt to unbutton it. However, with the ministrations of Siri's talented mouth, Pai felt unable to do anything, except melt in the strong arms of the man he truly loved.The two lovers had just come back to their tiny apartment, after having a rather pleasant dinner with Nana and Siri's father. They had decided that Pai will be working side by side with Siri, and will be introduced as the chief marketing strategist for the company. This will entail that he works closely with the top management of the company and hopefully keep suspicions and questions at bay. However, as Nana had pointed out, these things were just a matter of time and would eventually just fade away. The announcement of Pai's

Pai sighed and turned back after he opened the door for his late-night visitor. Taking a few steps in he said, “You shouldn’t be here..” The visitor who had now entered the small apartment and closed the door behind him said, “Why Pai? Where else should I be?” Pai shook his head, moving to the small fridge to grab a bottle of water. He took a few gulps, hoping that the cold liquid passing through his throat will calm his throbbing heart. He avoided the visitor’s prying gaze, not wanting to acknowledge that the man was here tonight of all the nights. “You are married now.” The tall, tanned man who was wearing a fitted tuxedo that looked like it was worth Pai’s entire pay for a year, snorted, “And whose fault is that?” Pai’s head snapped up and his eyes met the gaze of the man in front of him. The man looked defeated and Pai’s heart clenched at the sight. Nevertheless, the older man steeled himself, “I told you, life doesn’t work to satisfy your every w

Pai rubbed his face as he looked at the man who was now asleep in his bed. The wedding tuxedo was lying on the chair in front of the bed, reminding Pai of how forbidden this relationship had become now. Pai felt amazed at how at-home and peaceful Siri looked as he slept in his tiny room, which was barely big enough for a Queen-sized bed. All Pai had in his room, that was his entire house, was a mini refrigerator, a stove-top, a collapsible wardrobe, a bed and a plastic chair. Those were his meagre belongings and this man who was currently sharing his bed when he should have been with his new bride was the only heir to multi-billion dollars empire. As fate would have it, Pai and Siri had met, somehow fallen in love even after clashing heads all the time and had maintained a relationship for over three years. Pai can still remember the day Siri said he would make Pai his wife. Pai didn’t know but a small smile had crept on his face as if he was re-living the memories. The days

Siri had a favorite bodyguard who was also his chauffer. This kind, tall and strong man, in his early 40s, was extremely fond of the young master of the house and he would be the one to let the heir of the Thanawat Enterprises sneak out at odd times. Tonight, was no different. Although it was rather awkward considering the heir had just taken the marital vows, this man, Chati, had seen enough of life to know when to question and when not to. Tonight, he had silently driven the young master to a worn down building in a not-so-friendly part of Bangkok and stayed guard until Siri had made his way back nearly four hours later. It was not a new place for Chati. The young master had visited this building and a particular apartment in this building countless times and by now the bodyguard had all the details not only regarding a particular resident but also regarding all the residents and businesses in the area. It was the way he worked and it was the only way he knew to do his job perfect

As had become their routine by now, Pai was preparing to go to work while Siri was setting up his laptop at the dining table after finishing their breakfast. Siri approached Pai to say goodbye when the doorbell rang. A visitor at this time was unexpected, in fact at any time was unexpected since the two young men had preferred to keep it to themselves. Whatever small errands had to be done were managed by Chati as Pai and Siri mostly laid low without drawing much attention to themselves.Pai frowned questioningly even as he went to open the front door. The sight of the classily dressed woman on the other side of door startled Pai, so much so that he stood stunned and forgot his basic manners. It was clear that Pai had not really expected the Thanawat matriarch to visit them in person but more importantly, he had not believed that Siri’s stance would pay off. Of course, it was yet to see if any of the younger man’s claims would be accepted but at least they had for

“No..I’m not coming back..yeah, I know….I sent you an email after the last time we talked..” Siri said as he paced around the bedroom, talking on the phone. Pai couldn’t help but sigh as he entered the room with a two cups of tea. He knew who Siri was talking and what this whole thing was about. It was not like this was the first time this conversation had happened in the past fifteen days. Frankly, Pai didn’t think Siri would succeed in what he was trying to achieve, not immediately anyway.“I already explained what I want. I don’t care where he has to live or where he’s working from. That absolutely not the point! I don’t expect you null my marriage and welcome him as partner right away! What are you even saying! My stand is perfectly reasonable and practical.” Siri said, his tone slightly higher, as he felt whatever was being said at the other end getting on his nerves.“Nooo, we can talk

“You look good, Pai. All the best!” Siri said as he straightened Pai’s collar smiling. Pai blushed slightly, now color clearly visible in his cheeks, as he nodded. Siri placed a firm kiss of Pai’s forehead before letting him go and see him to the door.Pai made a shy wave as the younger man said, “I will pick you up in the evening…” And just like that the Pai was off to his first day as a full-time employee at Chiang Mai office of Thanawat Enterprises.In the past twelve days, Pai had recovered completely. Aroon had visited just once, to say goodbye. He had successfully completed his internship and had told Pai that he had decided to take a job closer to home as his parents had wanted him to. Pai had been supportive and had wished him luck. Siri too had wished the young man all the best and bid him goodbye. The Thanawat heir, not having anything personal against Aroon, felt relieved and happy that he had decided to do what wou
