Third Person's POV

Monday morning, NuNew get up in bed and is preparing for breakfast while Zee is taking a shower. For NuNew it is new to him for this. Having a good feeling in the morning with the person he likes. He maybe likes Zee and does not yet love but soon, he will love him.

He cooks an omelette, fried rice and bacon. Serving in the morning is always his duty especially when his husband is working so hard. After he set all plates and utensils on the table. He saw Granny is entering the dining area

"Wow, you look so blooming today NuNew. C'mon, tell me, what's the reason behind those blooming faces of yours?"

"We confess last night. That's why I'm happy" Granny come near at NuNew and hugs him tightly. She is happy for them

"That's a piece of good news. Please do take care of each other. Don't leave Zee's side. He only has you"

"Granny, he still has you. He is lucky to have you"

"I'm so proud of him, he passed those hardships and struggles come to his life. I thought Zee will be forever alone. But I guess destiny finds his path and made you two crossed"
NuNew couldn't say anything. Granny was right. Maybe if he didn't meet Zee, they are still strangers until now. They don't know each other

"I like him"

"That's good to hear. I'm sure he likes you too. C'mon, let's eat before the breakfast gets cold"

"I'll go wait for Zee" NuNew then excused himself first

He is about to knock on Zee's door when his phone rang. It was his brother P' Mix. He is calling him out of nowhere. NuNew abruptly answered the call

"Hello NuNew"
There's the uneasiness of Mix's voice

"P'Mix, what did you call? Are you alright there?" NuNew asks him. He is much worried about it now

Instead of knocking on Zee's door, NuNew went to a place where he can talk to his brother alone. His feet bring him into a garden. There are no people in here

"NuNew, I have something to talk to you. And Mom wants to talk to you either"

NuNew POV

Why do they want to talk with me suddenly? And why does he feel nervous at this moment? Is something going on?

"I'll be there later. Bye, take care of yourself and Mom"

"We will. See you later" Then the call ended.

If it's not important, P' Mix is not calling him. He misses them so I think I need to visit them later.

When I enter the dining hall, I saw Granny and Zee talking while they are bitting some food

"Morning" I greeted Zee. He looks so handsome today. No, every day.

"Good Morning. Sit here" Zee tap the chair beside him and since I should obey his orders, I sit on the chair beside him

It was like eating with family. I somehow felt comfortable just now when I am with them. It's like from the first time I have eaten with them, I don't feel like being with them. Granny is such a humble person while Zee is a compassionate person to be with

"NuNew, I want to meet your parents"
Suddenly said, Granny. Meeting my parents? They don't even know that I am married to Zee

Zee look at me with not a worried face but a happy face. Why is that? Is he ready to meet my parents?

"Ahmm... Maybe some other time, Mom is always busy and P' Mix can't go outside so suddenly, he is not yet fully recover" and I am not yet sure if they will accept the truth that I am already married. I don't want to shock them

"I understand you. There's always time to meet them but I still want to meet them even if is not on time" Granny is eager to meet them. Now, this is harder than ever. I never thought that Granny will ask about that

"I will tell them" lie! How can I start saying this marriage thing?

Zee holds my hand. It's like he wants to say that it's okay to tell them. But if Zee is really fine with it, how about me? I'm all alone. Once I told them about this, I am scared about their reaction. It's not like I am saying Mom is harsh, I just don't like the feeling of lying to them and she will feel bad that his son is lying to them

"NuNew. Don't pressure yourself. I'm here" Somehow, I felt relieved and relaxed. If Zee and I are not yet in a mutual understanding, maybe I will face these consequences alone

"Thank you"  I don't know what to do if I don't have Zee.


Mix POV

Yesterday, when a guy paid our bills for the Thai restaurant, I thought he don't know us, I thought he is just helping us but when he told us that he is not just a stranger but my brother-in-law. It turns out that yesterday was a coincidence. NuNew doesn't talk about this and I don't know if I will feel sad or happy to know that NuNew has finally found his soulmate.

If I will be the one to ask for their relationship, it's fine with me as long as NuNew is safe with him but I am just worrying about Mom. She can't process it so easily. Even now, she is just staring blankly out of the window. I'm sure Mom will accept it but not early. It's still fresh.

"Mom, I think NuNew keep it from us because he doesn't want us to get worried"

I tried to get Mom calm and thankfully it worked. Mom is weak when it comes to her children. This is why I want to end my disease. I have leukaemia and got treated 1 month ago. If NuNew didn't find the best job, I guess I still have to suffer from the disease.

Even the doctor says that it's a miracle that I can still survive even when my condition at that time was severe and is not capable to save me. I almost lost my hope and cried all day. Knowing that I will leave my family. I am just thankful to God, he gave me a chance to live again.




A/N: Happy belated pride month everyone ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🥳
