Surprisingly , Rian had imagined that on the day his graduation. He'll be so excited that he can't help it , maybe walk the wrong way , lean in the wrong direction , collide with friend or accidentally drop his degree like a lunatic like him but be relistic the moment he walks onto the stage
Everything was very peaceful
His five year effort was a piece of paper he held close to his chest
It's just a piece of paper but Rain is proud. It wasn't just paper because this paper had given him so much.
As he walked to his seat waiting for the entire. auditorium to finish and leave together , Rain recalled his five year journey.
"We have been studying for five years and got a piece of paper , what do you think?" Sik who almost failed to finish school and graduate spoke
"I thought it was torture." Po continued , his face as though he was stuck in never ending loop of assignments
"You guys get knowledge in youe head to make a living." Sky sees the real world as funny , the two friends turned their mouths toward the honors but for a moment , Sky swept his gaze over them
"Besides , i met all of you."
Everyone who heard was silent for a moment , then Sik began to tease in a whisper
Sky just smiled unabashedly , Rain looked straight ahead and spoke
"I never regret studying here."
He was teased by Sik , and by Po until they were scolded by the staff and told to keep quiet
While sitting quietly , Rain couldn't help thinking about it.
At first , he just wanted to study architecture , and pass his exams but attending this place allowed him to meet all his friends , he became close with SKy before being close with Sik and Po. He used to flirt with Ple until finally they became friends , did activities , got together until he didn't go home for weeks and most importantly , he met a senior who became his love
How many years have we known each other , Phi Phayu?
Rain is not a delicate person , and Phi Phayu is also not a fussy person
They have been together for more than three years , and are too lazy to count exactly how many years , months they have been together . Just remembering the anniversary is good but Rain will never forget the day they met, one rainy night when his car broke down and a kind man came to change a tire for him.
A person who became his Code Senior
A person who can make him feel both love and anger at the same time
A person who scolds and warns him when he does something wrong
A person who was by his side on days when he could barely stand
A person who has became so important that he is indispensable
Its been five years , Phi Phayu
Rain smiled to himself and he thought that after this there would be year six , seven , eight , and counting with this person , our time would move forward together
"Do you remember the day we ran away from the guard at the event?"
Suddenly Sky spoke up
Rain thought it wasn't just him who was thinking about the past
"Exactly"
"Ran..."
"Very , very fast."
Sky was silent for moment , before continuing to speak
"Thank you."
"About what?"
Rain turned to look at his friend , the moment they met each other's eyes , and the look in his eyes showed how happy he was
No more Sky who is sad , just a friend who gets happier every day
"Thank you for inviting me to the race that day , it changed my life."
Rain smiled
"Thank you too for joining me that day."
Needless to say , more , with fists lightly punched together they knew their friendship would never change. No matter how many years from now , Kai will still be his Kai , and he will be his Rain , they will never forget what experience they had together
"I want to meet him already."
And Rain only replied that....
"Same"
He wanted to show this pride to someone
"Phi Rain , have you seen Phi Phayu yet?!"
As soon as they stepped out of the auditorium , they met the younger generation who came to boom the seniors to earn money to enter the faculty
But rain was greeted with excitement by the junior coders , calling him faint , his heart beating faster because of someone's name but he just shook his head
"Not yet , Phi Phayu is here."
"He's here! Just passed by , we just cheered for Phi Phayu , Phi Phayu gave us a thousand."
"Hey , you guys are scrapping at him , he graduated a long time ago." Po appeared from behind , jokingly asking causing kids to pinch him
"Graduates are already graduates. No matter how many years they are called graduates too."
While the friend and the junior were arguing , Rain also swept his gaze looking for Phayu
"Hey , don't cheer for me , i don't have a penny for you , let me go see my parents first." Po was yelling at his juniors who had come in , as Rain suddenly asked
"Where did Phi Phayu go?"
"Phi Phayu said he was going to go see your parents , Phi rain." Another junior shouted
That's it , Rain clutched his graduation book tightly and ran at full pace in the direction where his parents were waiting , his handsome face adorned with a wide smile
And that made others turn to the juniors with suspicion
"Why are you all excited like you just saw Phi Phayu for the first time."
"Phi Sik , you must go see for yourself , Phi Sik , you have never seen Phi Phayu like this!"
Like this , he has to go and see
"excuse me , i need a way , im sorry."
On graduation day , the university was filled with crowds congratulating and graduates , so Rain had to run , ask for direction , and apologize , to get back to the meeting point. His big round eyes swept around the familiar tall man but even near where his parents were , there was no sign until he saw Papa on the bench in the distance
Two legs prepare to run to both oft them but....
Swipe!
"Rain..."
At that moment , warmth penetrated his palm and pulled him back. A low voice called out like a shout echoed in his ears , his heart was beating fast before turning to see the face of his lover again
The moment seemed to slow down , he seemed to look toward Phi Phayu very slowly
He saw a handsome face
He saw a twinkle in his eyes gleaming with affection
He saw a smile that was wider than ever
He saw a large bouquet of flowers in his embrace
He saw a tailored suit that would be hot on day outdoors
And he say...Phi Phayu's hair was cut short
"Congratulations."
Phi Phayu congratulated him with a smile
"I...I...Phi..."
However , Rain stood stunned , looking at Phi Phayu clean cut short haircut , which wasn't that he wasn't handsome. He was handsome , very handsome and just turned from a super handsome man to very discreet handsome man. Combined with the suit that he wore today. Phi Phayu looks handsome like the actors you see on TV
who will carry a large bouquet of flowers?
It looks very well matched but also very strange
"Phi Phayu , you've never cut it so short." Rain faltered.
In the five years of our relationship , Phi Phayu always just trimmed his hair so that it didn't go beyond shoulder length but never cut it any shorter , and even if the hairdresser accidentally cut it short , he'd still be able to tie it up
However , today Phi Phayu has cut it short that it can't be tied
No wonder , why were the juniors acting so excited , not to mention they hadn't seen it , and he hadn't seen it either
"Well , its been a year or so , almost ten years."
"And why."
The question that the big man smiled at , just answered
"Because today is an important day."
He wanted to asks more about Phi Phayu led him to walk to his parents who were waiting , and that was enough
They both saw them get up , looking at their son with a delighted smile before that smile slowly faded as they looked at Phayu's hand holding his son's hand
"Hello." Phayu bowed his head instead because both hands were busy
He wasn't shaken at all , even thought the father's suspicious eye were fixed on his hand.
"Phi Phayu , let go first."
Swipe!
Phayu didn't let go , the big man slipped his fingertips into Rain's hand , and tightened his grip , as one would know that this was not a senior junior relationship. A pair of sharp eyes looked at the two adults with respect
"What does this mean? Phayu." Papa asked , and Rain became even more stupefied
He thought to tell them both but this wasn't the right time.
But Phi Phayu definitely doesn't think like that.
Rain told himself because as soon as his sharp eyes met , those eyes showed that the decision had been made and it strangely stabilized Rain. Like every time , his fear was swept away just because he had this person standing beside him. Rain turned to look at his parents with the same gaze with determination
Then Phi Phayu spoke up
"I would like to ask permission to take care of Rain from now on and forever."
"..."
Papa remained silent , Mama raised her hand to cover her mouth until Rain was startled
"Papa , Mama im sorry i didn't tell you first , let me date Phi Phayu...."
Fip!
Just as Rain began to plead desperately , Rain's father raised his hand in protest. His kind eyes which were now serious that Rain had never seen looked at Phi Phayu motionless , before his lips moved slowly
It was so slow that it was like Rain was afraid to hear an accusation
"Well... You've always taken care of him , haven't you?"
"!!!"
Suddenly , Rain felt the sound of an explosion in his ear , it was all deafening , and he could only look at his parents with shocked eyes. He looks at his Mama who turns to meet Papa's eyes , then turns back to him
"I and your Pa have been talking about this all along , we're just not sure."
Rain was even more stunned , he thought they both didn't know all along.
Because their parents didn't use social media , there was no way to see their pictures and that made his Ppaa keep asking
"Why did you say that today?"
"Because i want to take another step with Rain." Phayu replied firmly
The two men were still staring at each other , before Papa sighed
"Sigh , the young man spoke first , what he talked about is something i also intended to ask Phayu to take care of Rain anyway."
Phi Phayu looked stunned but after a moment tightened his hand , and said in a serious tone
"Thank you."
The sight of two people who seemed to understand each other at that moment cause Rain to gape , recalling what his father had asked him this morning until he muttered
"Don't tell me what dad , you said this morning....."
"Yep , i meant to say this , you've grown up and you will soon go on the forge your own path. How do you want me to say it?"
"Take care of him na... Phayu. If it wasn't for you , no one would take care of him." His mama who was closer to Phi Phayu continued to speak. Althought she still looked unsure , the smile she gave was sincere and was ready to accept the person who stepped beside her son.
That made Phayu look back at his lover , giving him a smile and big hand sending a big bouquet of flowers
"Congratulations Rain , Phi is welcomed after this."
Even though there was no actual kneeling scene why he seemed to hear Phi Phayu say that sentence it made the graduate's heart fill up but held out a trembling hand to receive the bouquet and hug it close to his chest
"Look at him , he is a grown man and still cries like a child"
His mama said that and looked at everyone
"Be strong , Rain."
His papa added with a weary voice
"Would you like me to comfort you , Rain?"
Phi Phayu teasing him
Being mobbed by everyone but why is Rain so happy that he grins so wide?
Until he could only raise his head
"These are tears of happiness!"
He was really happy to have these three people right here with him , on such an important day.
And it was then that everything seemed to have settled down. Because the people who were waiting immediately shouted to their parents!
