Chapter 105 Thank You (Final Chapter)

Late at night, Asnee received a message from Decha. He opened the text message and read: "My brother is looking for Santichai, and he said it's urgent." Asnee walked slowly to the kitchen, staring at Santichai who was making dinner. "Chai."

Santichai didn't look back at Asnee, but just responded, "Hmm..."

Asnee said, "Decha said that his brother needs to find you urgently."

"Maybe it's about selling the unit," Santichai said, continuing to cook. "Nong, he tricked me into signing a house sale contract with him at a low price, saying that because I was not willing to sell my unit, other unit owners made a mockery counter price."

Asnee asked, "How rich is KK?"

Santichai said, "I don't know." He put the cooked dish on a plate and sat it down on the kitchen island. "What are you thinking? Why did you suddenly ask about KK's finances?"

Asnee sneered. "Nothing," he gestured and started texting Decha before putting his phone down on the kitchen island and happily eating.

Santichai looked at Asnee and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Asnee laughed and said, "I really want to see the look on Danya's face when he receives the news from Decha."

Santichai looked at Asnee strangely, picked up Asnee's phone and read the last text message he sent to Decha. He looked back at Asnee and said, "Asnee... why?"

Asnee chuckled, "He lied to you first." Asnee walked to Santichai and kissed Santichai on the lips. "I must take revenge on him for playing tricks on my beloved boyfriend."

Santichai put down the phone and said, "Hurry up and eat and sleep. We have to go to the city tomorrow to get the seeds and see the designer." Santichai turned to the kitchen island and started eating. Asnee hugged his waist tightly, resting Asnee's head on his shoulder.

Danya lay restlessly on the bed waiting for Decha to call him back, staring at his phone nonstop. It was nearly midnight when Decha finally sent him a message. When he saw the news, he sat up from the bed suddenly, speechless.

Danya's face turned pale. "What the fuck..." he frowned.

Coming out of the bathroom, KK looked at Danya's pale face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Danya scoffed, "This is ridiculous."

KK sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What is ridiculous?"

"I don't have his phone number, so I asked Decha to contact Santichai for me," Danya said, pointing to his mobile phone. "Look at the message Decha sent me." He handed the phone to KK.

KK took the phone and read, "Santichai agreed to sell his unit to you at the low cost of thirty-five million four hundred seventy thousand baht, otherwise we will meet in court for fraud." KK turned his head and looked at Danya. He sighed. "Do you like the taste of your own medicine?"

Danya frowned, "Hmph, you are in the same boat through thick and thin with me, you don't comfort me, and you even mock me, don't you have a conscience?"

KK teased and threatened, "You are not dealing with Santichai but Asnee. Asnee is more ruthless than you and has a worse temper than you. He is the kind of person who fights an eye with an eye, a tooth with a tooth. The worst thing is, he really can punch. I've experienced his punch in the past, and even talking about it now, it still hurts." He rubbed his left ribs.

Danya said, "You are my husband, you must protect me."

KK continued to tease Danya, "I guess we have to pay this unless they're going to sue us for fraud." He handed Danya his phone back. "Sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Danya takes his call, but it rings suddenly. He was afraid, and quickly returned the phone to KK. "It must have been from Asnee," he said. "You answer it."

KK took the phone and answered, "It's KK."

Santichai said, "I'm sorry to call you so late, is Decha's brother there?"

KK looked at Danya and said, "He wants to talk to you."

Danya shook his head.

"He was afraid to answer the phone because he didn't want to talk to Asnee," KK said.

Santichai chuckled. He said, "KK, Asnee was just kidding, I brought that place to wait for Asnee, but Asnee and I have already met, I have no reason to stay there anymore, you can keep the place. There is no need to pay."

KK said, "I can't accept it."

Santichai said, "You have done a lot for me in the past, take it as a wedding gift from Asnee and me."

KK said, "I refused to accept it. Give me something else."

Santichai said, "You won't take it quietly, will you?"

KK said, "No."

Santichai said, "Alright, just gave me one million, that's the purchase price, give me a new contract, and I'll sign it."

KK smiled and said, "Thanks."

Santichai said, "Goodnight."

KK smiled and said, "Goodnight."

Danya saw the smile on KK's face, and quickly snatched the phone from KK's hand. "Hello," he said stiffly. He turned to look at KK. "Who's on the phone?"

KK said, "Santichai."

Danya frowned, "No wonder you're all grinning." He threw a pillow at KK. "You sleep on the floor."

KK stood up and said, "Fine."

Danya quickly grabbed KK's arm, "Hey, I'm sulking, please comfort me."

KK said, "You are no child, why should I?"

Danya quickly put his arms around KK's waist and said, "You can't leave this room."

KK said, "What are you? Bipolar?"

Danya said, "I just love you too much. I'm insecure." KK pulled his hand away. "I'm afraid you'll leave me. I know you don't like and love me the way I like and love you."

KK turned to look at Danya and sighed. "I was trying to pick up the pillows off the floor," he said, kissing Danya's forehead. "We're engaged, you have to be more confident."

Danya buried his face in KK's abdomen, began to kiss KK's lower abdomen, and slowly pulled down KK's pants. Danya started pressing down on KK's panties as KK's pants slid over KK's buttocks and he kissed down slowly.

Sitting side by side on the balcony, looking at the full moon shining on the vast sea, as the old recorder played the song the moon represents my heart reverberating in the house, Santichai and Asnee sat quietly and enjoyed the night, Sing along with the music.

Santichai and Asnee continued to listen to Teresa Teng's songs, Asnee reached out and held Santichai's hand. Santichai looked at Asnee and said, "Asnee, when I was working in the sewing company, the manager there always said how he took his family out camping every year."

Asnee asked, "Do you want to go camping?"

Santichai said, "When your leg is healed, let's go camping."

Asnee chuckled, "We don't need to wait until my leg is healed. If you want to go, we can go."

Santichai said, "Let's wait and see."

Asnee kissed Santichai's forehead. "Okay," he smiled at Santichai.

Three months later on Christmas day, the Suwannarat, the Dudar's family, and Laddawan sat at a long table outside KK's Grandfather's resort. The family ate happily as Grandfather Suwannarat stood up with the help of Kittichat.

Grandfather Suwannarat said, "I have a few words to say."

Danya sneered, and leaned into KK's ear and whispered, "Really, he's going to insult you again. Although I get along well with him now, if he dares to insult you again, I will fight him."

KK murmured, "Just wait and see."

Mr. Suwannarat said, "Pa..."

Grandfather Suwannarat sighed, "I just wanted to say a few words. Why worry?"

Mrs. Suwannarat tugged at Mr. Suwannarat's shirt and said, "Khun pi, let father speak."

Grandfather Suwannarat looked around the table and said, "Over the years, I know there was a time when I thought differently than some of you. I tried hard to get my grandchildren to follow the Suwannarat family rules, but the result is that today is not yesterday, and neither is this generation." He turned to KK. "I've been tougher on you because I wanted you to be better than me or anyone else. Back then, I didn't understand your mind, and I still don't." He sighed. "Though I haven't given you my support over the years, you've shown me that you've got what it takes to continue the family business. Because everyone at this table is family; I want everyone sitting here to know, my will is written and all I have is divided equally between my son, my two grandsons and my only granddaughter." He smiled at everyone at the table. "The only thing I want more than anything else is to see everyone happy and healthy and I'm happy that everyone in my family is happy and healthy. I'm getting old and I probably won't live that many years..."

Danya suddenly interrupted, "Grandfather, if you control your anger, you are still young and healthy. After dinner, how about you and I go to the track and race."

Grandfather Suwannarat said, "You think I'm scared?"

Danya said, "Whoever loses has to call the other person grandfather."

Grandfather Suwannarat said, "You're on your knees now and calling me great-great-grandfather because I know you're going to lose."

Danya smiled and said, "I accept the challenge, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the intensity, so I allow you to choose someone as your representative."

Grandfather Suwannarat sneered, "I chose KK."

KK said, "I don't race cars."

Grandfather Suwannarat said, "If you lose, I'll make you run a hundred laps around that track without a break."

"Hey, that's not fair," Danya said.

Grandfather Suwannarat sneered, "Hump...you don't want your husband to run a hundred laps on the track without a break, then you throw in the towel."

Danya frowned, "Fine, I surrender."

Everyone at the table laughs at Danya's little quarrel with Grandfather Suwannarat.

Grandfather Suwannarat smiled and said, "Khun Dudar, here's to you for marrying your son into our family, without him arguing and challenging me, my retirement would be boring."

Mr. Dudar stood up and nodded to Grandfather Suwannarat. "I also have a good announcement," he said, looking at Decha and Laddawan. "Next Summer, Frank and Laddawan will get married."

The people around the table smiled and congratulated Decha and Laddawan. The people sitting around the table are eating happily and enjoying their Christmas day.

Listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, Santichai was washing the vegetables Asnee picked from the vegetable garden. While Santichai was cooking in the kitchen, Asnee was sitting in the living room talking to Ruangsak and Somsak. After talking to his two friends and wishing them a Merry Christmas, Asnee put down his phone and headed to the kitchen. He saw Santichai cook a lot of dishes.

Asnee asked, "Chai, why are you cooking so much food? We're not going to finish all of this tonight."

Santichai smiled and said, "We have guests tonight."

Asnee asked in surprise, "Guests? Decha and Laddawan?"

Santichai turned to Asnee with a smile. "When they get here, you'll know." Asnee and Santichai turned to look in the direction of a car's headlights shining through the window into the kitchen. "Put the plates on the table. I'll go open the gate." Santichai walked quickly to the door, turned on the light and walked out of the main door.

Asnee smiles and starts transferring the dishes from the kitchen island to the living room table.

Santichai slowly opened the door and entered the room and put two pairs of newer slippers on the floor. He smiled and said, "Use this."

Holding a glass jug in his left hand, with his back to the door. "Who is our guest?" Asnee asked, turning. He gripped the handle of the pitcher tightly and stared at Mrs. and Mr. Siriporn.

Mrs. Siriporn smiled with tears in her eyes and said sadly, "Asnee..."

Asnee's lips trembled, "Ma...pa..."

Mr. Siriporn nodded at Asnee.

Asnee sighed and looked at Santichai who was smiling at him.

Mrs. Siriporn's lips trembled, and tears rolled down her eyes. "Asnee..." She walked slowly to Asnee and hugged Asnee. "How are you?"

Asnee put the jug on the kitchen island and hugged Mrs. Siriporn. "Ma... I miss you..."

Mrs. Siriporn cried, "Ma... misses you too."

Mr. Siriporn turned to Santichai and said, "Thank you."

Santichai nodded with a smile at Mr. Siriporn.

Asnee took a step back and wiped Mrs. Siriporn's tears away. He smiled and said, "Let's go eat. The food is getting cold."

Mrs. Siriporn smiled and said, "Yes... I'm very hungry, let's go eat."

Asnee led Mrs. Siriporn and Mr. Siriporn to a small table with four seats, and Santichai grabbed the iced tea jug and started pouring tea into the glass. When he was done, he sat next to Asnee, opposite Mrs. Siriporn.

Asnee looked at Mrs. Siriporn and said, "Chai's cooking is very good. Try this." He picked up a chicken wing and put it on Mrs. Siriporn's plate. He picked another chicken wing and put it on Mr. Siriporn's plate.

Mrs. Siriporn took a bite and said, "Very tasty."

Asnee asked, "Really? Just salt and a little soy sauce, how's it very tasty?"

Mr. Siriporn looked at Asnee and said, "It's very delicious because we have dinner together as a family."

Santichai said, "Khun Siriporn and khun nai Siriporn, I have prepared the guest bed. Since it is late, you two should sleep here tonight. Driving at night is dangerous."

Mrs. Siriporn looked at Santichai and said, "Don't call me khun nai Siriporn anymore. Since we are a family, you call me ma just like Asnee."

Asnee was taken aback, looked at Mrs. Siriporn, "Ma..."

Mrs. Siriporn took Asnee's hand and said, "Khun nai Cole opened my eyes to understand that I gave your life, but I am not the master of your life. As a mother, I must protect and support you. Asnee..." Mrs. Siriporn burst into tears. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I've done. I'm sorry for trying to change you. I'm sorry for never hearing what you wanted to say. I'm sorry... for hurting you when I should be protecting you, but instead I failed you. I'm sorry...please forgive me."

Asnee stood up and hugged Mrs. Siriporn, "Ma... I never blamed you. I get it."

Santichai didn't want the reunion dinner to turn into a tearful dinner, he said with a smile, "Let's take a photo together. There is a photo frame that Asnee nailed on the wall which has no picture yet."

Santichai and Mr. Siriporn walked up to Asnee and Mrs. Siriporn. Asnee quickly took out his phone and took a few photos. He said, "Let's eat."

Santichai, Asnee, Mr. and Mrs. Siriporn was happily chatting and eating at the dining table. They talked about Santichai and Asnee's youth. Asnee shared Santichai and his story with his parents.

After dinner, when the Siriporns were ready for bed. They went to the living room to see if Santichai and Asnee were asleep, but they found Santichai and Asnee sitting by the sea outside, so they decided not to interfere.

Seeing Asnee laugh so vivaciously made Mrs. Siriporn realized that Mrs. Cole was right in what she had said to her. Mrs. Siriporn looked at Asnee who was holding Santichai with a smile and said, "Khun nai Cole is right. If we put aside our differences, support and love each other as one family, no matter which direction we turn, we will be happy."

Mr. Siriporn held Mrs. Siriporn and said, "Let's go to bed."

Mrs. Siriporn and Mr. Siriporn turned around and saw the printed photograph on the last picture frame on the wall and they smiled. The two turned around and took another look at Asnee and Santichai, then walked into the guest room.

Sitting on the beach looking at the full moon, Asnee held Santichai in his arms. He said, "Thank you. This is the best gift I've ever received."

"Asnee, it's not just you who wants a cozy family dinner, I've always wanted it too," Santichai said. "This is also the best dinner I've ever had."

Asnee kissed Santichai's forehead and said with a smile, "My boyfriend is the best, cutest, most understandable person in the world." Asnee kissed Santichai on the cheek. "Chai... I'm glad we're together. Let's grow old together." He whispered in Santichai's ear. "Santichai Kittibun, let's have our wedding on this beach next August."

Santichai smiled and teased, "Are you sure?"

Asnee stood up and shouted into the night, "Santichai Kittibun, let's get married next August!"

Santichai with a smile, stood up abruptly, thinking of their youth. He shouted, "Yes!"

Asnee walked over and stood in front of Santichai. He lowered down his head and kissed Santichai's lips. He smiled and said, "Promised with a kiss." Asnee held Santichai in his arms. In his heart, he whispered: 'Santichai Kittibun, thank you for loving me'.
