Chapter 5: Because I know the truth!

*FAH's POV*

As soon as we arrived at our house, I immediately went straight to my room.

This day was very exhausting yet it feels like very unique compared to the old days. Why? well, if you just remember.

I talked all day with my classmates and they're all very surprised. Who wouldn't?

I've never been talked to anyone like that before. Even with my teachers.

Tsk!

[Knock! Knock!]

A series of knocks caught my attention.

I lazily got up from my bed and opened it. At first I thought it's Yaya Beth but I immediately remembered that she isn't here already when daddy's smiling face greeted me.

"Your mom will cook something for dinner. What do you want to eat?"

"Just Tom yum goong dad" I smiled.

"Is that it?"

"Ah yeah. That's enough"

"Okay." He looked at what I was wearing before speaking again.

"All right, get dressed already and go down to eat."

I just nodded as an answer.

I immediately change house clothes and stared at my own reflection in the mirror. Let's see if I can catch you in my own ways. I just really can't control my curiosities anymore. And now, I have to find the answer I am looking for. I don't know what answer I'm looking for but I'll probably feel that when I find it, right?

:Chao Fah!

My thoughts were interrupted when my Mom called me from downstairs.

"Yes mom. Coming!" I shouted back.

*Third Person's POV*

The little family ate happily as if no drama had happened. Fah's smiles are very different from previous times.

This seems very real. Even though his Mommy and Daddy are happy, they simply exchange glances when Fah is not looking at them. They were both surprised by the sudden change of their only child. Since then, they have never seen their only child being so happy in this way.

Although his parents were still in a bit shocked, their joy at seeing their child happy still prevailed.

He told his parents a lot about what happened in school for the whole day.

And you can definitely see the joy in his eyes. It's no joke. It's genuine.

After he ate. He poured cold water into his glass. His parents looked at each other because of that. Well, He just never drunk cold water from the refrigerator before. While drinking the cold water he noticed that his mom and dad were looking at each other so he just giggled.

"What's with that surprise stares huh?"

"N-Nothing son. We're just noticed that y-yo---" His mom didn't finish what she was supposed to say when he finished it himself.

"That I CHANGED?" He even put emphasized to the word changed.

"Ah.Yeah" his mom smiled awkwardly.

"So, Did I CHANGED for the worsed? or for the better?" He smiled a little like a villain with evil intentions.

"Of course. F-for the better." Said his Dad.Stutteringly.

He smiled even more after hearing his dad's answer. He's like a villain who knows a secret from his greatest enemy.

He repeatedly nodded before speaking again.

"Anyways Mom, Dad. I'll just take a bath to my room. Just call me if you need anything." Before his parents could answer, he quickly climbed the stairs to his room. As they looked Fah walking away, they still couldn't believe how much their son had changed. While still looking at the stairs, Mr. Fin suddenly asked his wife.

"Hon, is it weird for you that he suddenly changed?"

"Hmmm. I don't know either. Maybe. But it's better this way than before. He's isn't awkward anymore. And he doesn't seem to be upset with us either."

"Anyways. Of course. I prefer him to be like that all the time. Maybe he already fell in love, so he matured." And they both giggled.

"Tsk. You know what? You're really a jerk!"

Cristine stood up and put Fah's plate in the sink.

"Just eat! And hurry. I know you feel like eating slowly because you're not the one to wash these plates." She smirked.

"Yes, I know. I know. Here it is. I'm speeding up."

After taking a bath, Fah immediately got dressed.

He was wearing only a loose shirt and knee -length shorts.

He slumped down on the bed and took a selfie. This is his first time taking a selfie that's why he looks so awkward.

He realizes that he needs to change everything about him. From Physical appearance, attitude, hobbies and everything.

Aside from the fact that he is tired of being kind, soft hearted and introvert already, this is the only way he can think of to find what is really missing in his life. What he really wants.

He already thought about it many times over the past few nights and only earlier did he realize that he was not wrong in his decision because he was happy in changing himself. He's happy that he's no longer ashamed of his classmates. He enjoys talking to them. He's too excited to experience the real life of a teen.

The notification bell on his cellphone rang and he quickly checked what is it.

When he opened his Facebook, he had too many friend requests. It's much more than these past days and months. If the previous days was only 5k+, now it has increased by 1k+.

He checked his friend requests list and he just smiled when he saw his classmates names and aslo the students from the other sections.

"It's really the time for me to change myself. A lot."

He started accepting his classmates until there was suddenly a knock.

"Yes. Come in!" He knew that it's either his Mom or Dad.

When his mom entered his room, she smiled when she saw him smiling.

She deliberately coughed to get the attention of her son who was smiling while looking at something on its phone.

He looked up and smiled when he saw his mom.

"Hmmmm. You know what son. It suits you better when you smile." she gladly said.

"Mom. What brought you here?" Instead of criticizing what her mom said, he just answered her a question.

"Oh c'mon. I am your mom and you're my child. Am I not allowed to enter here?" It finally went in and sat next to her son.

Fah noticed that his mom seems want to ask him something, so he sat up and looked her mom in the eye. It seems that she's still hesitant whether he will continue to ask it to her own son.

"C'mon mom. Say it. I know you have something to ask."

She cleared the lump in her throat first before speaking.

"Please don't think badly of my question but I'm just shocked by your sudden change. It's not that you've been bad, but maybe it's not that bad either, if you'll let me know why? right?"

He deliberately coughed a little before answering.

"Maybe, Because I know the truth?"

His mom didn't move in her seat as if her son's answer was unexpected.

At this time, she only feels nervous while facing her son.

"Oh shoot! Let's say. It's because I know the TRUTH!"
