Sean was over the moon when he heard the news about me being engaged to Bryle the next morning. He was so happy for me that he cried. I cried too but not because I’m happy and finally engaged but because I know everything was fake. We are just fooling everyone around us.
Right now, we are currently taking a stroll at the mall, looking out for some wedding suit. I don’t really wanna come with him at first because every time I am reminded about the engagement my mood will always fall but Sean was so adamant on dragging me here and he won’t stop pestering me so I have no choice but to agree with him. I even tried to explain to him that we are just engaged but we still don’t have a specific date for the wedding so there’s no need to be in a rush of finding me a suit but Sean insisted that the earlier the better.
And then, there’s Bryle. I haven’t had the chance to talk to him properly since he dropped me and my parents home last night. All the way home, I was pretending that I’m happy so that my parents won't suspect anything. I admit, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever did — forcing myself to be happy in front of my parents.
Every time I look at my mother’s happy face and my father’s proud face, I feel like crying. My parents are so innocent. They don’t know what’s really happening.
I am snapped out of my reverie when I hear Sean calling my attention. I turn to look at him questioningly and see him pointing to a white suit inside the clothing store.
“Look! There’s a suit! Let’s go and see it!” He enthusiastically exclaims and drags me inside the store.
A lady approaches us, “Hi, gentlemen! What can I do for you today?”
“You see... My friend here is finally getting married to his boyfriend so we are trying to find a suit that will suit him best!” Sean proudly narrates to the lady and she gasps happily.
“Really? Congratulations to you, sir! Please come this way.” She leads us to a mannequin that is wearing the suit Sean pointed at earlier. “I think this would suit you better, sir. This suit is made from a soft silk, sir, so you won’t have to worry if it’s itchy or not. You can try this on if you don’t believe me.”
I was gonna touch the suit when a breaking news from the TV inside the shop catches my attention.
“Breaking news! A very shocking and sudden news spread throughout Thailand right now. The rumors spreading about the Thailand’s eligible businessman’s son, Bryle Kraisee, dating a college student has come to an end when a video of Bryle Kraisee proposing to his lover was posted online. The poser is still unknown but everyone can tell that the video wasn’t fake or edited.
In the video, Bryle was seen holding hands with a boy while entering the restaurant. And then what happened next was shocking to everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Kraisee was seen sitting inside together with two other people who looked like the parents of the other boy. The boy greeted everyone and sit afterwards and the camera then proceeded to record Bryle Kraisee standing near the fireplace doing a speech.
“Alwin... Ever since I met you, I’ve never felt this happy my whole life. Meeting you was like a dream come true. I didn’t expect us to come this far at all. But seeing that we’re here right now, together with our family, celebrating our day, I will never ever regret being with you. I’ll cherish you and never let you go. I love you, Alwin.”
“Oh my gosh! Is he proposing?!”
“That day before I met you, my purpose was only to go there to relax myself from everything and take captivating photos to collect. But my camera unintendedly captured a very beautiful sight that made me curious. You were sad and hungry. You wanted to eat a steak but you don’t have any single penny with you. I was so amazed how can a guy like you be so cute. I pitied you so I approached you but what I didn’t expect is that, that was the start of everything that we are and have right now. I love you so much and I will never let you go. Marry me, Alwin Chaidee.”
“B-Bryle... I-I... Yes, Bryle, I will marry you!”
Everything feels so real. It looks like I’m watching a Thai series.
“The video from last night finally confirmed the status of the next heir of the millionaire businessman. A lot of negative and positive reactions are gained from the netizens after seeing the video.”
“Oh my gosh! Who recorded that?!” Saint exclaims, “I finally know what really happened!”
I sigh and turn to look at the lady just to find her staring at me with wide eyes and mouth ajar.
“Ahmm... Miss, can we just go back for it some other day?” I ask her politely and she immediately comes back from the daze and smiles at me awkwardly.
“Ah, yes, yes! Of course! You can also contact us if you want our shop to personally make a wedding suit for your wedding! Here is our calling card!” She hands me a card with a name and contact number of the shop.
“Okay. I’ll do that.”
