"Sing! Krist! Everything is set!" P'Jane walked towards the two who was sitting beside their parents.

Singto's hold on his father's hand tightened. He took a deep breath.

"Sing, you're getting tensed for nothing. Stop worrying, you know your fans well enough to predict their reaction." Boonrod caressed his son's hair.

"You too Krist, don't worry. Ok?" The elder smiled when Krist smiled shyly at him, nodding his head from where he was seated near his Mae, beside Singto.

"Now, go. We'll be here watching you both," Nan stood up along with the boys, placing a soft kiss on both of their foreheads.

"We can already hear your fans being impatient, don't make them wait any longer, boys." Jack chuckled as he glanced at the screen in the room where they could see the hall where the fans were seated.

"We'll get going then," Krist smiled at the elders. The two waied at them before they followed their managers towards the stage.

Krist intertwined his fingers with Singto's, making the elder smile as he glanced at their hands. He tightened the hold as they walked onto the stage after they were given the signal.

Wave was already standing in the middle of the stage, smiling brightly when he watched his brothers walk into the stage. The fans squealed as they focused their eyes on the intertwined hands of their artists.

"Welcome! Welcome! Boys!" Wave shared a short hug with the two.

"Good evening guys!" Singto smiled as they waved their hands at the fans, feeling butterflies in his stomach.

Krist smiled, swinging their arms softly as he spoke through his mic. "Thank you for gathering here on short notice. We're really happy to see you all here. And hi to our fans watching through the live!"

The fans erupted in cheers, exclaimed how much they missed them making the two artists smile.

"We missed you guys too!"

After the fans turned silent Wave turned towards the two boys who were smiling warmly at their fans.

"So, boys. Care to explain why we're here?" Wave gave a teasing smile to the two.

Singto glanced at Krist who gave an assuring nod to him.

"As you all know, 'Closer: Another step' just finished airing two weeks ago. And everyone is confused as to why we suddenly aired a show like that," Singto smiled.

Krist nodded his head, "And as we told, this gathering today, we have a surprise waiting for you guys."

"Our patience are running out!" Wave chuckled as he heard the fans scream out in excitement.

"So, before we explain further we want to show them the surprise." Krist looked at Wave who nodded his head.

They didn't want to delay things more, after what they had planned will be out, they will have a lot of explanations to do to their fans and they had prepared themselves for it.

"So, let's get into it then," Wave gave a thumbs up to the two artists who smiled wide at him.

"Lights off!"

Whispers started to echo through the hall as the lights turned off. Krist and Singto moved aside to their assigned seats at the corner of the stage along with Wave who guided them.

The fans gasped in surprise when the screen behind the stage lit up, soon a video started to play.

They squealed when they saw Krist and Wave settled inside a moving car. Krist had a wide smile on his face as Wave recorded both of them. The date on which the video was taken, displayed at the right corner of the screen.

"Tell us where we're heading to, bro!" Wave smiled wide, his eyes covered behind the sunglasses.

Krist chuckled, "We're going to meet P'Sing."

"At a beach?" Wave smirked.

Krist nodded proudly, "I have a confession to make and a question to ask."

Wave laughed, "Bet that!"

"Krist has been on his heels since the journey started," a voice from the backseat made Wave laugh while Krist turned around to give a betrayal look.

The camera soon turned towards the backseat where Jack and Nan were laughing at Krist.

"Hey!" Krist pouted at his parents who tried to muffle their laughter.

"Krist wanted his parents to witness the scene too!" Wave exclaimed behind the camera.

"Of course! We wouldn't miss it! I would have punished him if he didn't invite us," Nan raised an eyebrow at Krist who stuck his tongue out.

Jack just laughed beside his wife.

"My brother here wanted to record this full set up to show his P'Singto later," Wave nudged their shoulders.

"And to watch in the future, and maybe show to our fans too," Krist gave a shy smile, the tip of his ears turned red.

"So, tell us, where we're going and how your P'Sing is there."

Krist chuckled hearing the enthusiasm in the elder's voice. He had already told the latter about the plan, yet, for the sake of the recording, the latter still looked excited as the first time he told Wave about his plans.

"Well, we're going to Pattaya, 30 minutes more to reach our destination. And P'Singto is there with his Por, P'Jane and P'Nahm. Fans don't know about this trip, it's Por who arranged it."

"And guess who asked him to?" Wave raised his eyebrows, a smirk playing on his lips when he heard the question being asked by Jack who chuckled.

"Me!" Krist raised his hand, giving a wink at the camera.

"I talked to Por about it a week ago. And since P'Sing is free for two weeks we decided to plan it soon. Since it's Por who asked P'Sing, he'll never say no."

"Let's see how N'Sing will react to this!" Wave laughed along with Krist who seemed very excited about what was going to happen.

Their drive to the beach resort was filled with Krist being nervous, for a reason still not revealed. Wave captured each moment in the camera, teasing his brother who occasionally glared his way.

As soon as the car parked at the destination Krist got out of the car followed by his laughing parents and Wave.

The younger was wearing a blue pullover, baggy sweater with white ankle-length Jeans. Few strands of his gelled hair swaying at the cold breeze that blew across the beach.

It was just the beginning of January, the weather at Pattaya was still cold, especially the winds. And Krist loved the weather, it was one of his and Singto's favourite times.

Krist took out his phone from his pocket and quickly placed a call before he brought his phone to his ear. His feet tapping on the road.

"Someone is nervous," Jack pointed at Krist.

Wave laughed, "He hasn't slept properly for two days because of this."

"Let's see how things will go, I already know Singto's answer anyway," Nan shrugged her shoulders, a smile playing on her lips as she watched her son talk over the phone.

"Come on guys! Everyone is already there. Por said P'Nahm and P'Jane are keeping Singtuan distracted. We should go there before sunset!" Krist turned towards the three after he finished his call.

"Kit, relax. You won't be late," Jack patted Krist's shoulder who gave a sheepish smile to the elders.

"Now come, I can't wait to witness the scene!" Nan held her husband's arm excitedly.

Wave focused the camera lens on Krist's face as they walked towards their destination. It was just a 10-minute walk from where they were.

They could see how nervous Krist looked. He was mumbling under his breath, his own hand inside his jean's pocket as he clutched onto the object inside it. Yet with all the nervousness, his eyes showed all the excitement bubbling inside him. His lips curved up occasionally, giving a small view of his dimple.

"Huh?"

Krist stopped in his tracks, "Where are they?"

"What do you mean?" Wave raised an eyebrow, hiding his smile.

Krist straightened his posture, "I-I asked P'Jane to bring them here, but there is no one here now."

"Krist, why don't you go further and check? We'll stay here," Nan patted Krist's shoulder.

"Should I call Por or P'Jane?" Krist glanced at Jack.

The elder shook his head, "It's almost time for sunset Krist, they might be at the other side. Just go and check silently. They won't notice you."

Krist gave a weird glance at his parents, he didn't understand the theory his father was telling. If he goes and searches for them, his P'Sing would see him before he planned to.

"But-"

"Just go Krist, we'll be here," Jack gave a little push to his son.

"There's Singto!" Wave exclaimed as he pointed towards the seashore.

"Where!?" Krist hurriedly checked the direction the elder pointed at but pouted when he found no one there.

"He just ran towards the villa, maybe they're resting there. Go, Krist, P'Jane message me that everything was set," Wave gave an assuring smile to Krist from behind the camera.

"Ok," Krist took a deep breath. He glanced at his parents who raised their thumbs at him, with wide smiles on their face before he started walking towards the villa.

They were at the Villa Singto had booked for the five days stay at the place. It was situated just in front of the sea. The entrance covered with coconut trees, giving it a shade.

The sky was spread in a light orange hue, the clouds up there had brilliant white patches, like a turning page catching the sun. The rest pale blue with a subtle hint of purple, just enough to announce the coming sunset.

Krist looked down at his phone when a message popped in. He took a deep breath before he pocketed his phone back after reading P'Jane's message. He just had to be on spot, everything else was settled.

Krist gasped in delight when he came in view with the shore. He smiled wide, his dimples in display as he gazed at the small candles around the sand, forming a circle, rose petals scattered around it. The shade from the trees making the candles glow deeper.

It was just like Krist asked for. Simple and elegant. Just like how his P'Sing likes it.

Krist found himself glancing around in confusion as he walked towards the decorations made.

"Where is P'Sing?" Krist whispered. He looked around and his eyebrows furrowed when he didn't find his parents and Wave at the place they previously stood.

Krist turned around, taking his phone from his pocket, about to make a call.

"Kit..."

Krist's eyes widened, he snapped his gaze towards the source of the voice. He gulped when he saw Singto, standing in the middle of the decorations made.

"P'Sing," Krist gaped at the widely smiling man. The elder was wearing a blue pullover sweater, just like Krist's, paired with white knee-length shorts.

Krist found himself walking towards the latter, pocketing his phone back. He doesn't know what was happening but he knew he had to walk towards the elder.

"Kit," Singto held Krist's hands when the latter was just a few steps away from him.

"What-"

"Shh..." Singto placed a finger on Krist's lips. The younger just stared at him with his confused, round black eyes.

"Krist, you have been there for me since we both started to know eachother. You were always there to push me forward, encourage me when I'm down. Your arms are the safest place for me. Your smiles brighten up my day. Your existence makes me thank the universe for giving you to me.

We crossed all the challenges that came face to face with us. With you beside me, with your promise that you'll always hold my hand, those challenges felt soo easy to face...because I knew, keeping all those aside, you'll always see me as your Singtuan, the one who bares himself open for you. Whose heart is safe within your hold."

Krist gulped down the lumps forming in his throat. His eyes glistening in tears as he watching Singto gazing at their palms, a small smile playing on his lips.

"You adapted yourself for me, understood me when no one could. You believed in me and my ambitions. You’re the bright sunshine to my cloudy days. I miss you when you are not around; I want you when you are miles away. I never let you go alone in this ride and together will turn the hurdles smoother with our love."

Singto smiled wide, caressing the other's cheek. He could feel his own voice cracking but he didn't care, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"You are the one I wanted to find, to tell that I need you all my life, from this day on till the rest of my life. Falling in love with you was my destiny all along. A single 'I love you' doesn't express all that I feel inside for you, Kit."

Singto took out a red velvet box from his pocket, going on his knee he heard the younger gasp, tears spilling down his eyes.

"Krist Perawat, will you-"

Singto blinked his eyes when Krist covered his lips. He gasped when Krist kneeled in front of him, coming up to his height.

"I want to propose you too."

Singto blinked in confusion but soon smiled wide when Krist removed his palm from his lips. Letting Krist have his way even though he's confused of what was happening.

"I presume you knew about my plan," Krist pouted.

Singto giggled, he somehow got an idea of what was happening now. "I didn't, I promise. Will tell you about it later."

Krist smiled, nodding his head.

He took out a black velvet box from his pocket and held Singto's free hand in his.

"P'Sing, I don't know what to say at this point. I prepared myself for what I will be going to speak to you, yet the moment my eyes met yours, words doesn't seem enough to express my feelings for you. All I wanted was someone to care for me, someone who would be there for me and I found that in you. You are everything I ever wanted, P'Sing."

Singto bit his lips, he had never been a person who cries easily. But at this moment, with the others warm gazes and soft smile directed towards him, it was making him feel overwhelmed.

"You are the only one who understands me even more than myself. You are the only one with whom I can share everything, a person who accepted me as who I'm. As much as I have adapted for you, you always came out of your comfort zone for me.

As long as the stars twinkle in the sky, Till the ocean run dry and till the day I take my last breath, and beyond eternity. I will love you with all my being. I promise from this day forward, you would never walk alone; my heart would be your shelter, and my arms would be your home."

Krist smiled as he wiped the tear that slid down the elder's cheek. The elder chuckled, they stared into each other's eyes, raising their hands which held the velvet boxes, they shared a knowing smile.

"Will you marry me?"

The two asked to eachother, giggling as they touched their foreheads together. Nodding their heads as they mouthing a yes. Sealing their words with a quick peck on their lips, smiling wide.

Cheers soon erupted around them, making them part away and glance at the members bouncing on their heels at the scene they witnessed.

"Put the rings!" Nahm and Jane shouted making the couple chuckle.

Krist looked up at his lover and nodded their head, coming up to their feet they shared a soft kiss under the sunset.

The sunset settles in as a heart to the horizon, as if the sky itself could speak of love.

They pushed the rings into each other's hands at the moment, their faces glowing with the tingles of happiness that rushed across their body and senses.

"I love you, Krist." Singto held the younger's hands in a tight hold.

Krist reached forward to touch their foreheads together. Their parents and friends cheering for them in the background, the sound of the ocean waves played a rhythm in their ears.

"I love you too, Singtuan. Forever and more."

"Why are you all crying?" Krist chuckled into the mic as he came to stand with Singto and Wave at the centre of the stage.

Most of their fans were crying as the video clip ended. Some were soo excited that they stood up from the seats and couldn't sit back again.

"So, what do you think?" Singto smiled, his hold on Krist's hand unwavering.

"You're asking that to them, N'Sing? They can't even speak at the moment," Wave shook his head.

The fans started to scream, squeals of excitement and congratulations echoing the area. Krist and Singto bowed their heads as a sign of thank you, smiling wide at their fans.

"We'll let you guys talk. I know there is a lot of explanation to be done. But one truth that I know and understood is that no matter what, this family you have formed will stay strong and will always support these two precious men here," Wave smiled at the couple, he bowed in front of the crowd before he stepped aside to the corner of the stage along with the couple's parents.

"We're sorry that we hid the fact that we were dating with you all, according to the career we choose and some restrictions we faced, we had to keep the fact hidden," the fans turned silent, letting their idols explain what they have to.

Krist nodded his head at what Singto said, "To begin with, it's been 4 years since we started dating. It was after the Sotus S shooting that we confessed to eachother and started to accept our feelings. We declared about our relationship to our parents a year later."

A round of applause echoed around, the couple smiled at their fans who enthusiastically declared how happy they're for them.

"You guys always teased that we were lovers, even without any official declaration. You studied how our actions towards eachother, understood the loving, heartfelt gazes we give to eachother." Singto wounded his arm around Krist's waist, the younger just stared at him as he spoke with his smile never leaving his lips.

"Yet, we were not sure how you guys would react to us," Singto sighed. The fans could sense the dilemma their artists had gone through, and they did understand where these feelings came from.

"We were just an imaginary couple, so we feared if we come out as real lovers you would react differently. It's different from shipping an imaginary couple from them being real partners. So, Krist and I took some time to gather our courage and hope for you all."

The hall was silent, the fans just let the couple voice out their feelings. They could see their favourite artists' faces fill with worries.

"And work caught us up. Actually, we planned to come out to you guys after my studies abroad, but well, situations changed and we somehow planned to propose to eachother too," Singto chuckled along with his fiancé.

"The video you guys saw, actually we didn't plan to make a show like 'Closer' in the past. But as we both got free time, and we were thinking about coming out to you guys, we thought we should make it special," Krist giggled making the fans laugh.

"You guys always bring out innovative ideas for us, always giving us something special. So we wanted to give it to you too. Thus we came up with the idea of 'Closer: Another Step'. We wanted to show the steps we took in our career and personal life to you, let you know that we have been there for eachother for long. So we talked to the management, and they let us produce this 4 episode show for you guys. And now, we're in front of you, declaring that we're officially engaged."

Krist intertwined his fingers with the elder and raised their hands, showing the silver band glistening on their fingers.

The fans squealed and erupted in cheers. Telling how excited they were feeling for them, and that they'll always stay beside them.

"Thank you soo much, guys. We don't know how to thank you all for this support. There might be people who'll not accept this in the right way, and we may have to face another storm too. But we assure you that, Krist Singto will always stay strong and will keep on improving ourselves for the love you give us." The couple bowed their heads.

The fans found themselves sniffling on their tears, smiling wide at their favourite couple. Their hearts whelmed up with joy.

"It's getting emotional here," Wave walked into the stage, wiping his tears making everyone chuckle.

"Come on guys! You both are making us cry!" Wave accused the couple who just stuck their tongue out at him.

Wave shook his head, chuckling.

"Push all the tears away! We want to know how their proposal turned out like that, don't we!?" Wave asked the fans who screamed a loud 'Yes'.

"Explain!" Wave pointed his fingers at the couple who laughed.

Krist glanced at Singto, the two smirked at eachother, raising their eyebrows.

"Well, it was initially my plan to propose him on that day. I had got permission from P'Sing's Por too. As I told in the video, it's me who asked Por to get him there. Even the set up made was according to what I told them. P'Sing doesn't like fancy settings, except for his accessories," Singto hit Krist's arm playfully making the fans and staffs there laugh.

"I had told my plan to P'Jane, P'Wave and our parents. They knew what will be going on and well, they tricked me!" Krist pouted.

Singto laughed as he looked down at his shoes, remembering how Krist sulked at their parents after the proposal. With his cheeks puffed and a pout evident on his plump lips, glaring at his parents who laughed at them.

"I had been planning to propose him for long, I even took his parents permission long back. But I didn't get a chance to propose to him, with our work schedule and other circumstances I couldn't find the perfect time or setting. I keep on rethinking my ideas, asking if he would like it or would it be too formal? Too casual? Is he ready for this? Will 'we' be okay with it?" Singto smiled when Krist placed his arm around his shoulder.

"And that's when our parents tried to trick us," Singto giggled, glancing at Krist from the corner of his eyes who just kept on patting smoothly on his arm.

"My Por, P'Jane and P'Nahm knew about my plans to propose Krist. It was P'Nahm who accompanied me to buy the proposal ring. It came as a surprise for me when Por asked me to go with him to Pattaya, he said he wants to spend time with me. So I agreed, and P'Jane had secretly taken the proposal ring with him to the trip," Singto glanced to his right to see P'Jane waving his hand at him. The manager's action was caught on the screen at the stage making the fans laugh.

"I didn't know that Krist will be coming that day. I used to call him every day and he didn't give any clue about it so I didn't know."

"No one calls and say 'Hey, I'm going to come there tomorrow so that I could propose you!' on the phone, P'Sing," Krist smirked at Singto who rolled his eyes, the fans laughing out loud in the background.

"You don't have to say it like that! You can at least say that you're coming to visit, Kit!" Singto pointed his finger at the younger.

Krist chuckled, "Yes! Yes! Now go on with the story."

Singto rolled his eyes.

"Whatever P'Sing say is right, no arguments," Krist raised his hand in defeat making Singto chuckle.

"Ok, well...then by morning on the day Kit was going to come, P'Jane informed me that Kit was going to pay a visit here, and he wants to make it a surprise for me."

"I was like, 'Ok, but why did you tell me? It's supposed to be a surprise right?'. Then he gave me the proposed ring and told me that I should propose him." Singto facepalmed making Krist laugh out loud.

"I was soo shocked! I was like, what are you saying!? Then P'Nahm told me to not wait anymore, that they have it all ready. First I was unsure, then Por convinced me and I thought it was a good idea. The beach was our favourite place, we had a lot of memories there. So I decided to give a surprise to Krist who planned to surprise me!"

"And in the end, we both were surprised!" Krist added making all of them laugh.

"But, even if things went that way, this was the best proposal for us." Singto turned towards Krist who was already staring at him, they smiled at eachother and bumped their noses together making the fans and crew squeal and scream.

"I can't with these lovebirds!" Wave shook his head in disappointment.

The gathering extended to another hour as Singto and Krist shared small incidents of their dating time, they even called up their parents on stage who gladly expressed their gratitude for accepting their children and supporting them, to the fans. They shared the story of how the two was soo nervous when they came to take their permission to marry their sons. It was a sight to behold for the fans as they watched Krist and Singto turn red as the teasing continued.

By the end of the gathering, the two thanked their fans for being there for them. They informed them that they will soon talk with the press. The actors knew the news channels are going to feed on their declaration for a few days, and they'll surely have to answer them too. Even their management informed them about it.

Their life forward might be different as things started to change, people's look at them has changed from an 'imaginary couple' to 'real-life partners'. They'll hold their hands together, face all the boundaries set before them, achieve their personal goals with each of their support.

Things might change but as long as they belong to eachother, and walk into the arms of their loved one at the end of the day, they will look forward to the future and focus on the showers of blooming love between them.

*****

"Oh my! They're soo cute!!"

"Aw! Aria is here!"

"P'Sing! P'Krist!"

"I'm soo excited!!"

"They're soo adorable!"

"Swadee Kharp!"

Singto and Krist waied at their fans in front of them. The little girl in Singto's arms waied with his small palms making the fans squeal at her cuteness.

"How are you all doing?" Krist asked with a smile. They were at the airport, ready to depart for their 5 days trip to Phuket.

"We're doing fine!"

"Soo happy to see you three!"

"We wish you a happy journey!"

Krist and Singto smiled wide at them, "Thank you!"

"Is Aria sleepy?" A fan asked as she pointed at the little girl leaning her head on Singto's shoulder, his small black eyes were looking wide at the crowd yet her face looked tired and sleepy.

Krist chuckled as he reached out his hand to caress his daughter's hair.

"Yeah, it's still early for her routine. She had been making a fuss around ever since she woke up. P'Singto had to carry her even in the car," Krist pouted his lips making the fans laugh as they clicked the small family's pictures.

"Papa's girl!" The fans shouted making Krist pout harder making Singto laugh. He knew their fans were teasing his husband.

Throughout the five years Aria had been in their life, everyone knew how clingy she was to her Papa Singto. She was her papa's girl and Krist would always complain about it during interviews or during his Instagram lives with Singto and Aria.

It was a piece of exciting news to all their fans when Krist and Singto announced that they're going to adopt a baby soon after two years of getting married and that, all the procedures were in process.

Soon the news of them bringing home a seven-month-old baby girl, who they named Aria, spread like a wildfire on social media after Singto posted a video of bringing their little princess home on his YouTube channel.

Their fans and friends had been a great support to them. They would always enquire about baby Aria when they meet Krist or Singto after their shooting or work.

"P'Sing!" Krist turned towards the elder who just chuckled at him.

"Don't call me, you know they're just teasing you."

Krist laughed, "Where's the fun in not reacting to it?"

"Papa," Aria tugged on Singto's shirt making the latter look at his daughter who signed him to put her down. Her chubby rose cheeks puffed out.

"Someone is getting restless I see," Singto chuckled as he put her down.

Aria stretched her cute arms making the fans coo at her adorable actions. She went towards Krist and took hold of his finger and started to swing it, looking at the fans around with a small dimpled smile on her face.

She was habitual to having crowds of people around, she knew that her dad and papa were actors and that they had a lot of fans. Her parents would take her to small fan gatherings like this, and she really loved it. All the fans were soo nice to her, they would even give her candies and presents which she loves a lot.

"Hello!" Aria waved with her free hand at the crowd who squealed at her.

"Hello, Aria!"

"How are you princess!?"

"Excited to go for the trip!?"

Aria giggled as she nodded her head. "Aria is soo happy!"

Krist and Singto glanced at eachother, smiling wide at how Aria was talking to their fans. Their daughter's relationship with their fans was really special, she had them wrapped around her fingers. Aria always managed to smitten others with her cuteness and polite nature, just like how her parents were smitten by her.

"Daddy! Chocolate!"

Krist looked the way Aria pointed at, he laughed as he went towards the fan who had a chocolate bar in her hand for Aria.

"There you go, my princess," Krist handed the chocolate to his daughter who smiled wide in delight.

"Thank you!" She smiled wide at the fans, her small set of tooth in display.

"You guys are spoiling her!" Singto pointed out.

The fans whined, "P'Singto!"

Krist nudged his husband's shoulder, "Come on Singtuan, as if you don't!"

Singto rolled his eyes, but a smile was evident on his lips as he watched their daughter savour the sweetness in her hand.

Krist just chuckled. He was always the one who spoiled Aria, buying her candies and her favourites but he knew where to stop too. And Singto would always be there to remind him that. Singto always knew the limits, he restricted Aria at times, him being practical with things added to it.

Singto wouldn't let Aria get whiney with her needs, he always reminded her of her limits. Even though Aria cries and sulks at Singto at times for not letting her eat more candies or have the things she found interest in, at the end of the day she would only sleep in his arms.

And Krist was always amazed by the way they shared the bond. He would be the one to stay at Aria's side when she gets in troubles and spoil her but she always wants her Papa. And no, he isn't jealous of it. He knew Aria loved him just the same, she loved both her fathers.

Singto would rant to him why he was doing so and would feel down when Aria sulk with him but Krist makes sure to calm him down and tell him that what he was doing was right.

Krist knew Singto was doing it for their daughter's well-being. He knew Singto also spoiled her in his own ways. They loved Aria like their own life. She was their precious princess.

"Ok guys! We should leave now! See you guys soon!" Krist waved his hands at the fans.

"Bye! Bye!" Aria jumped around as she waved her hands.

"Enjoy your birthday, Aria!" The fans wished them as they waved back.

Krist took hold of Aria's hand, while Singto dragged their suitcase. They waved back to their fans. They were always happy to have a small gathering with their fans like this. It always whelmed their hearts seeing how Aria mingled with them, being her naughty self and making all of them laugh.

"Papa! See! Dino!" Aria pointed at the clouds.

Singto stared outside the window, they were on the plane, an hour more to reach Phuket.

"Where, baby?" Singto raised his eyebrow.

"Papa! There! Doggie is there too!" Aria pouted at how Singto looked clueless.

"Oh!" Singto laughed when he realised Aria was speaking about the clouds forming shapes of animals.

"They're clouds baby, they are just in the shape of Dino and Doggie," Singto hugged his daughter.

"Oh! Can I take it home, Papa!?" Aria asked excitedly. It was her first ride on a plane and everything was soo exciting for her.

Krist laughed as he leaned his head on Singto's shoulder, "No baby girl, you can't take it home."

"Aw, why?" Aria pouted as he turned towards Krist who ruffled her hair.

"Daddy! My hair!" Aria covered her head with her hand, glaring at her Daddy who messed up her perfectly styled hair.

"Oops, sorry cutie pie," Krist sat straight and helped Aria to set her hair.

Singto watched two of his precious persons giggle and play with eachother. He smiled as Aria got up from his lap and sat on her empty seat beside Krist who sat between them, as the younger distracted Aria by turning on the small screen on the seat in front of them and giving a headset to her.

Aria's mind completely skipping about her animal clouds as she focused on the small screen in front of her which was playing 'The Airport Dairy'.

"She's naughty, just like you," Singto nudged their shoulders.

Krist giggled, "Aw really? And she's a neat freak like you!"

Singto held his laugh, even at such a young age, Aria was very cautious about cleanliness. She would always be crisp and tidy unless she's having her favourite chocolates.

Sometimes Aria's characteristics make them feel that she was their own daughter, their own blood. Even people around them notice her similarities with the couple.

"She's turning 5 tomorrow, P'Sing." Krist intertwined their fingers.

"5 years passed in a flash," Singto sighed, biting his lips, watching Aria giggle as she watched the cartoon.

Krist nodded, "It feels as if it's yesterday we got her in our arms. Those days were hectic, taking care of our baby Aria, but it was all worth it. I miss those days now."

Singto chuckled, leaning his head on Krist's shoulder. He had work the previous night, he had to arrange his schedule so that he could be free for the next five days. He even reached home late last night, and with the morning flight he didn't get enough sleep, so he was tired.

He's thankful that Krist got to finish his schedule by yesterday afternoon, or else both would be too tired for the journey. Krist being off mood would be a big turn off.

"Tired?" Krist placed a kiss on the other's forehead.

Singto hummed making Krist chuckle, "Then take a nap, I'll be awake for Aria."

Krist smiled as he stared at his husband's face, the latter's soft features as he slept on his shoulder.

They came through a lot of challenges, but he's glad that they have eachother and now they have their little princess who understands them and loves them soo much. Aria was their treasure, valuable than any other precious metals.

A puzzle piece that completed their picture.
