"Aim, tell me what really is happening here?"

Aim looked at the man in front of him hesitantly. He doesn't know whether he should be telling everything to the man in front of him.

"Aim, I didn't find you to give me the silent treatment. I want you to tell me everything. I'm his brother, Aim. He is the only one in this world who I love more than myself."

Aim looked at the taller man in front of him. He could see the helplessness and pain in those eyes.

"P'Noel, you...you are overreacting. There is nothing wrong." Aim said, trying his best to seem convincing.

Noel sighs as he sips his coffee. He and Aim were sitting in a scheduled area of a coffee shop.

Just a day before Noel contacted Aim telling he wanted to meet him. At first, Aim didn't understand who was calling him but when he came to know it was Noel, Kongpob's elder brother, his mind was full in mess. He didn't know how Noel came to know about him being in Thailand. Aim just agreed meeting with him as he heard the hardness in his voice.

And now he is here, sitting in front of his best friend's brother, trying his best to hide everything.

"Aim, don't fool me! Did you think I didn't notice you at the mall? Even though I have only interacted with you a few times I know about everyone who is related to Kongpob. The moment I saw you inside that hoodie with that lady, I knew it was you and you were trying to hide from us. Why Aim?" Noel spoke emotionally.

Aim looked at Noel and sighed. He thought he could escape from him through lies, but he couldn't.

"No, P'Noel. I didn't try to hide from you. You are just overthinking." Aim tried to convince Noel but it was not working on the older man.

"Aim, please. I want to know the truth. And I want to know whether that lady with you that day was Kongpob?"

Aim's eyes popped out of its socket as he heard the question. His voice cracked

"W...Wh...What are you talking P? Kongpob? With me? I...I have not seen him for years." Aim said with an awkward laugh.

Noel glared at Aim, he saw clearly how Aim was trying to lie to him.

"You are not a good liar, Aim. Mae might have not recognised her own son since she has never cared for him truly, but I can identify my brother in any corner of this world, Aim. Please, don't do this to me."

Noel's pleasing voice made Aim uncomfortable in his seat. His palms started to sweat. He was glad at least he didn't tell Kongpob about this so that he won't be overemotional over it.

He knew at this time after Arthit came visiting him, Kongpob needs time. A lot of time to think.

"Why are you showing interest now to find Kongpob, P? You had these many years! You didn't care whether he was alive or dead!" Aim shorted back. He knew that he had slipped some information about Kongpob through this statement of his and because of it he could see a small smile on the elder's lips.

"The only reason why I didn't search for Kongpob was that he asked me not to. Kongpob had never asked anything from me, not even a little candy. And when he told he would better die than me helping him, I gave up to him. I even dropped my carrier as a band member for my little brother. Please Aim, I want to know the truth. At least since you and Kongpob are here now." Noel exclaimed.

"Why did Kong dress up like a woman, Aim? Was he trying to hide from us? But why? I tried asking him this question before he left this country but he didn't answer. He just told me if one day he gets to meet me again he would explain and now it is the time, Aim." Noel's words were sharp. His voice filled with determination.

Aim took a sip of his tea.

"The reason behind all of this is because of your family," Aim said as he gazed the big city through the window.

"My family?"

Aim nodded.

"I'm not sure whether Kongpob told you about his lover," Aim's words made Noel widen his eyes.

"Kongpob has a lover!?" Noel exclaimed in surprise.

Aim shook his head. He knew that Kongpob didn't tell his brother about this. He had never told Noel the real reason behind his requests.

"Yes, P. Kongpob has a lover. They both have been in a relationship since he was a freshman. His lover is two years older than him and our senior at college. And moreover, his lover is a man."

Noel gasped. He didn't know what to say. In the first place, he never thought that his younger brother who always buried himself in books would be in a relationship. And that too with a guy.

"Do you feel disgusted by Kongpob?" Aim asked with fear in his voice as he saw Noel's silence.

Noel shook his head.

"As long as Kong is happy I'm happy. He is my little brother after all." Noel said with a smile on his face.

Aim sighed with relief as he heard Noel's words.

Noel looked at Aim who was fidgeting in his place after the reveal of his brother's relationship. He thought about Kongpob's sudden request for him to come back to Thailand and asking him to take over their family business which Noel didn't expect to come out of Kongpob's mouth since he knew everything about his decision to leave Thailand. He thought about how Kongpob suddenly disappeared after he gave his word to Kongpob.

As if realisation hit him, his eyes widened.

"Aim, please don't tell me my parents asked him to leave his relationship!"

Aim nodded his head unwillingly.

"Yes, P'Noel. You can't imagine what they did to Kong. Somehow when he was in the fourth year at university uncle and aunty came to know about his relationship. He was asked to come to his house. Uncle and Aunty asked him about his relationship and asked him to leave his lover. But Kongpob was against it. He didn't change his decision. And for that, he got beaten up by uncle's bodyguards. He had bruises everywhere. Then..." Aim's voice was filled with pain. Just thinking about his friend's past brought tears into his eyes. He knows how much his friend had suffered and still is.

Noel's clutched his hand. His lips stretched into a thin line because of anger.

"What happened after, Aim?" Noel's words were cold and anger was evident from it.

Aim sighed. He wiped his tears.

"Even after all those torturing Kongpob was stubborn with his decision. He told Uncle that he will never leave his lover. But Uncle and Aunty threatened him that if he doesn't leave him, they will look kill his lover."

Noel gasped. He knew that his parents were possessive about their reputation and their dreams but he didn't expect his parents to do this to his brother for it.

"Kongpob loves his lover more than anyone that he is ready to give his life for him. Uncle also threatened him that he will not only kill his lover but also his friends and his lover's friends. You know Kongpob, he will do anything to keep his friends in a safe place. He finally decided to break up with his lover but he asked uncle to let him be with his lover till his graduation and they agreed. But things didn't go as planned." Aim sighed.

"What happened Aim?"

"Before our graduation, Kongpob got a piece of news that changed his life completely. He didn't tell this to us even after he broke up with his lover and moved to Canada, we had to find it our self. This was the reason why he called you to come back to Thailand."

"What is it Aim? You are scaring me!" Noel asked confused.

"He was pregnant."

"WHAT!?" Noel shouted, attracting attention from the other tables in the cafe that was occupied.

Aim asked Noel to relax.

"Aim don't joke. Kongpob? Pregnant? It doesn't make any sense!" Noel exclaimed.

"You have to believe it, P'Noel. Kongpob was pregnant and he gave birth to a girl. She is 4 years old. Her name is Liane. Kongpob is special, P'Noel. He himself was surprised by his news. He even was given the choice for abortion. But he didn't, for him, the baby was the symbol of his and his lover's unconditional love. He didn't want to destroy it. And you know what will happen if your parents know about this, thus your entry in this story."

Noel slowly registered everything that Aim told in his mind and brain. It was hard to get his thoughts under control but he was happy if his brother was happy. But for him, his brother meant everything to him.

"Aim, can I meet Kongpob?" Noel asked, his voice soft.

"No, P'Noel. Please don't. Kongpob is now itself depressed about his current state. His lover came to know about him and even his lover's friends know about this. He tried his best to hide from others but nothing went as we expected." Aim sighed.

"Please give him time, P'Noel. Please. I will contact you when he is ready, P." Aim said, hoping Noel will listen to his words.

Noel sighed, he smiled slyly and nodded his head.

"Anyway, tell me who his lover is? He might be lucky to have Kongpob. I want to know my brother-in-law." Noel said cheekily.

Aim chuckled.

"His name is Arthit Rojnapath, he is the CEO of GEARS..."

Noel widened his eyes.

"What? Isn't it the same company you both came here to do a partnership with? Oh, so was it the reason why Kongpob disguised himself as a woman?"

Aim nodded his head.

"I wish soon I can see Kongpob. I will make my parents regret their actions soon. They will suffer for doing this for my brother."

Noel clutched his fist.

**********

"Lia, Mommy wants to tell you something."

Lia looked at her Mommy through the mirror.

Kongpob was braiding her hair so that they could go out to the park as Lia wished.

"What is it, Mommy?" Lia asked, her voice still containing the excitement for going out.

Kongpob looked at his daughter through the mirror.

"You remember Mommy telling you that you are a really special child? Mommy got to give birth to like any other woman."

Lia nodded her head smiling. Even though she was too young to understand anything, she was smart than any other children of her age.

"Why do you call Uncle Arthit Daddy, baby?" Kongpob asked as he placed a pink-colored hair bow on Lia's hair.

"Because he asked me to! And also it feels very nice to call him, Daddy! Now I have a Daddy and a Mommy!" Lia said with all smiles.

"Mommy when we go back home, will Daddy come with us?"

Lia asked as she turned around to face her Mommy.

Kongpob gulped, he hadn't still decided about going back. It has been only one week since Arthit's encounter with him and many things changed.

Everyday Kongpob would get a note from under his door, indicating how much important he was to someone with the name P'Ai Oon as written at the bottom of the note, it also said the same person had brought breakfast for them.

When Kongpob open his door and look at the doorknob, he could find a plastic bag handing there with breakfast. And it was special breakfast that brought nostalgia to him. It was food from the university cafeteria. He doesn't know how Arthit got to buy it but it brought smiles to his face.

All days Arthit would drive him and Lia home in his own car, leaving Aim to go alone to the accommodation in the company car but Aim was the happiest for their relationship.

Arthit would talk and talk about his life without Kongpob and Kongpob would listen to it with pain in his heart. Arthit would tell him stories of their university life. But still then Arthit never asked when Kongpob was going to tell him everything as he had promised.

One day Kongpob asked him whether he wasn't tired from chasing over him, he asked whether he was worthy enough for his attention.

Arthit only smiled to it and answered:

I had asked this same question to you at Rama VIII Bridge when you were chasing me. The answer you gave me is the same answer I want to tell to you Kong.

You might have left me heartbroken a few years back, you have caused me troubles, but the love I have for you cannot make me hate you even after all this Kong. And I know there will be always something behind your actions through these years with you. I know there is something behind your actions and I shave been searching for it the past years until you came in front of me.

I know you will tell me everything sooner or later. As you know I hate waiting, but if it's for you...then I will wait for my whole lifetime.

As each day passes Kongpob feels special. With Arthit beside him, he feels complete now. The feeling of love and care that he was longing for those past years have come back to him.

Kongpob smiled at his daughter and caressed her hair.

"You should ask him about whether he would like to come with us." He said.

"Ok! Then when he will come to pick us for going to the mall, I will ask him!" Lia said enthusiastically to which Kongpob nodded.

"Lia, I have said you that you have a Daddy right? Your real Daddy." Kongpob asked after a few minutes of silence.

Somehow Lia's expression changed. Her glowing face slowly started to faded.

"Yes, Mommy."

Kongpob brought her daughter up to sit on his lap and caressed her face.

"Do you want to know who your real Daddy is?" Kongpob asked.

He was surprised when Lia shook her head in disapproval.

"Why baby?" Kongpob asked confused.

"I don't want to see, him! I have a Daddy already and he is the best! He is caring, loving and always play with me and bring me chocolates! What if my real Daddy is not as nice as Daddy Arthit?" Lia pouted.

"And also, my real Daddy don't like me!" Lia said as she folded her hands towards her chest.

Kongpob chuckled, "Why baby? Why do you think so?"

"Where was my Daddy this much years?! You are the only one who stayed with Lia! Daddy didn't come! That is because Daddy hate Lia!" She said, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Kongpob's heart sank at her words. He hugged his baby girl tightly and kissed her head.

"It's not like that baby. Your Daddy love you so much. Mommy was the one who didn't tell Daddy to not down to us. Mommy was afraid that Daddy would take you away from me. But no, he will never take me my baby girl away from me, because you already met him." Kongpob's last words made Lia widen her eyes and look at her Mommy.

"We met him? Where!?" There was this little enthusiasm in her voice which made Kongpob smile.

"P'Arthit is your Daddy, dear. The person who you are calling Daddy is your real father." Kongpob tried his best to not let his tears fall.

"Daddy Arthit is my real father! Wow! I'm so happy! He is my real father! My daddy! Why didn't you tell me before, Mommy!?" Lia jumped from Kongpob's lap and jumped in excitement.

"I'm sorry for keeping you away from him, baby. Mommy is really sorry." Tears rolled down from Kongpob's eyes as he hung his head low, unable to meet his daughter's eyes.

Lia's expression changed as soon as she heard sobs coming from Kongpob. Lia lifted Kongpob's face with her small hands and gasped when she saw the tears falling down from her Mommy's eyes. She had never seen Kongpob cry like this. For her Kongpob was everything and seeing him cry was something that would hurt her more than having bleeding on her knees when she falls while playing.

"I'm so sorry, Mommy. Lia is sorry that Lia made Mommy cry. Lia is sorry na. I love Mommy so much and will love Daddy too. For Lia Mommy is always the best!" Lia said with a sweet smile on her face as she wiped the tears rolling down from Kongpob's eyes.

Kongpob chuckled through his sobs and hugged his little girl tightly making Lia laugh. Kongpob planted sweet kisses on her cheek.

"Mommy loves you too, dear. Mommy loves you too." Kongpob whispered.

Lia pulled away and rubbed their noses together as how Kongpob used to do to her whenever she cried.

Soon they heard the doorbell ring making them distracted from their moments.

"It must be Daddy!" Lia said as she ran to open the door.

Kongpob smiled widely and rubbed his tears, taking a deep breath as he followed Lia.

"Daddy!"

Lia jumped into the hands of Arthit as soon as she opened the door making the elder laugh.

"Hey, baby girl! Ready to go out with Daddy?"

Lia nodded enthusiastically at Arthit's question.

"Daddy, can I ask you something?" Lia asked as Arthit brought her inside the room, closing the door behind him.

Arthit looked at Kongpob who stood not too far away from him with questioning eyes as he heard his daughter's words. But Kongpob only smiled slyly.

"Sure dear, what is it?"

"Will you come with us when we go back to our house? In Canada?" Lia asked with her sparkling eyes shining with hope.

Arthit gasped, he looked at Kongpob who didn't dare to look at his eyes. Arthit smiled softly as he looked at his daughter's eyes as caressed her head.

"Why should I come with you and your Mommy? I am not your family, right?" Arthit asked in disappointment.

Lia pouted as she answered, making Arthit gasp in shock.

"But Mommy said you are my real Daddy! Daddy and Mommy should live together with me, right? So, you should come with me!"

Arthit looked at Kongpob, his eyes misty with tears. He saw Kongpob walking towards him and smiling.

"She should sooner or later know the truth, P'Arthit. And I felt like she should know it now. I'm sorry for keeping her away from you, I never meant to do that but situations made me do it. I'm sorry." Kongpob apologized.

Arthit shook his head.

"No, Kongpob! You should not apologize to me! I'm happy that I got a family with you and a cute daughter like Lia. I'm more than happy, Kong." He said as he planted a kiss on Lia's forehead, making her chuckle in happiness.

"So, Daddy will come with us?" Lia asked with hope.

Arthit chuckled and nodded his head.

Lia screamed in excitement and kissed Arthit's cheeks making the two men laugh.

"So, ready to go to the park? Oh, why are you dressed up like this Kong?" Arthit asked as he saw Kongpob in his normal attire, not wearing his wig, makeup, and woman clothing.

Kongpob scratched the back of his neck.

"I don't want to wear it when I'm with you, P. Don't ask me why! And I have something to tell you." Kongpob's words brought a smile to Arthit's face.

"What do you want to tell me, Kong?" Arthit asked as he and Kongpob walked out of the room with Lia running to the elevator.

Kongpob sighed, he knows it might be hard for him but he didn't want Arthit to wait longer. In the end, he knows that Arthit will not leave him now.

"I'm ready to tell everything to you, P. I don't want to hide anything."

Kongpob's words made Arthit's body stiff. He looked into Kongpob's eyes, he didn't want Kongpob to overwork himself to say everything but what he saw in those two brown eyes made him sure that Kongpob was not pushing himself but the love he had for him made him push his feelings out.

*****

Who's excited to know Kongpob's life story?
