Darryl & Kenny (Part 17 - Mum 3)

For the next few days, everything seem alright and with the thought that Mum is fully accepting both of them together… It was kind of a relieve yet at the same time strange. It a total mash up feeling… Happy, Worry, Uncomfortable… Darryl was lying in the bed thinking about all these when he heard…

“Ah boy… Are you awake?”

“Yes Mum… I am just resting…”

“Ah boy, actually mummy…. erm… I want…. Erm…”

“Yes Mummy… Just say ba….”

“I just wanted to talk to you about Kenny….”

“OK… I kinda expected… We shall talk about it then… Where shall I start…”

Darryl sat his mother down and starts telling her about Kenny and how they are made for each other… The thing and bond they share, the love they have for each other and how Kenny had been there for him during the lowest point of his life… It was an emotion coming session for both Darryl and his mum… Darryl was in tears going through everything and opening up to his mum…

Mum: “Ah boy… I…..”
Darryl: “What?”
Mum: “Is this what you really want… To be gay and not thinking of marrying a girl…”
Darryl: “Mum, I’m sorry… I can’t give u a daughter in law or grandchildren… This is who I really am… I can’t think of anybody I want to spend my life with beside Kenny…”
Mum: “Maybe you just haven’t found a girl that will make you feel the same…”
Darryl: “I know this is got to be hard for you to accept but I just can’t change who I am…”
Mum: “Yes… It is hard… And I been trying to find out what is going on with you and Kenny for the longest period of time u can ever imagine… I keep telling myself that you guys are just 2 close friends staying together… But I know it not just that simple… I keep telling myself it is… I even tested Kenny about it… And he admitted it… My heart just sanked to the bottom of the sea… but I tell myself to be calm… because maybe Kenny is just playing a trick on me… Maybe both of you are just playing a prank on me… I Just hope that this is just a dream… Tell me this is not true… You are just kidding me..”
Darryl: “I am sorry… Mum… I too don’t want to not talk about this… I too wanted to lied to you that we are just friends but I choose not to… because it will be unfair for everyone… I will be forever living in a lie I myself created and this is unfair to everyone…”
Mum: “But have you think about me and your father… Have you think how you have just crashed our dream of having you getting married and having children? Have you? Why Boy? Why? Why don’t you just lie to me? At least I still have some hope that you are not gay…? Why?”
Darryl: “Because… I cannot do it… I don’t want to give you false hope… I don’t want to give you hope that I know will never ever happen… Plus I love Kenny… And I need to be fair to him…”
Mum: “Then WHAT ABOUT US? WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY? YOU ACCEPTED THAT YOU ARE GAY! BUT WHAT ABOUT US? WHAT ABOUT US?”
Darryl: “I’m sorry….I really am… I don’t know what else I can say or do now… But I’m sorry…”
Mum: “How about leaving Kenny or maybe start going to know some girls etc or maybe counseling?”
Darryl: “This is not a game or an option that I can change who I really am… So what if u force to get married, will I be happy? So what if I give you grandchildren, will I be happy? Will I be faithful to my wife? Will I be a good dad to my children? Will I?”
Mum: “How would u know if you don’t try?”
Darryl: “Because I know… And I am very sure who I am… I only love men; I only like having sex with men… And this is something I can never change… And I do not want to try because I know it will be unfair to whoever I am trying with… I have found my soul mate and the person that I love… I’m not asking for your blessing as I know it will never happen but I just hope you respect my decision... I’m sorry”
Mum: “How can you say that? Since when this is your decision… Are you going to tell your father? Do you dare to tell your father?”
Darryl: “I will… And it’s going to be the same as what I told you… You are still my mum and he is still my father no matter who I am or in your term what I am… But whether you treat me as your son will be a different story…”
Mum: “I’m going to call your dad now…”
Darryl: “What are you doing this to me…?”
Mum: “Then why are you doing this to me? I just cannot accept my son is GAY!”
Darryl: “You have to… Cos I am gay and am happily attached to a guy named Kenny for the past few years…”
Mum: “Tell this to your dad… And you will know that I am more than lenient to you… He is on the phone…”
Darryl: “Dad…..”

Darryl came out to his dad over the phone and surprisingly, his dad was not angry or sad at all… Instead on the other side of the phone, it just laughter….

Darryl: “Hello, Dad… Hello….”
Dad: “Hahahahahhaha…..”
Darryl :”Dad… Did you hear me?”
Dad: “Hahahahaha…. Yes I did…”
Darryl: “Then why…..”
Dad: “Because i don’t know how to react besides laughing it out…”
Darryl: “Dad, this is not a joke… I am serious…”
Dad: “I know… And I am too… I know you must be thinking why am I laughing…”
Darryl: “Ya… Why?”
Dad: “Because it really a sign of relief for me…”
Darryl: “Huh?”
Dad: “Yes… A sign of relief… You never know how hard it is to keep question about whether you are or you are not… The thought of it is killing me… but yet I do not want to question you as i don’t want to stress you… I knew something is not right about you and Kenny but I choose to not ask or think about it… now that you finally say it out yourself, it just so much easier…”
Darryl: “But Mum…”
Dad: “Step away from your mum so that I can talk to you alone…”

Darryl turns to his mum and told her that dad want to talk alone… Mum let out a sneer… Darryl walk away…

Darryl: “Dad, I am away from mum now…”
Dad: “Boy, I can’t say that I am not disappointed with you choosing to tell me over the phone… I rather have a heart to heart talk with you than this conversation and I am surprised you tell your mum first than me…I am really disappointed in you…”
Darryl: “Dad… I….”
Dad: “Boy, like I say I am disappointed and it is kind of shocking to finally know the truth but yet it also a relief to know that there is finally no secret between you and me though I still want to know why over the phone…”
Darryl: “Mum asked me to…”
Dad: “And why her over me?”
Darryl: “Mum say wanted to talk about it but she freak out after I tell her…”
Dad: “See… You made a wrong choice…”
Darryl: “Dad, Mum said you going to disown me if you know the truth… I don’t want to tell u like that but mum just call you…”
Dad: “Did she say that? Hmmmm… I didn’t even know I am going to disown you… What good does it do me?”
Darryl: “I don’t know but mum said u will…”
Dad: “It never going to be easy to have a gay son and I don’t know how I am going to get use to it but it is so much better to know the truth now then to know it later after you got married or have grandchildren then come blaming us saying that we forced you to get married and you have never been since then… I don’t want to be blame during my dying days for all these…”
Darryl: “Are you sure you are ok with this?”
Dad: “No… But I will try… because you are my son…”
Darryl: “Don’t need to cater for me… Just do what you feel is comfortable… I am still your son no matter how you treat me... I promise you…”
Dad: “Silly boy… Of course you are my son…”

All these love and understanding from his dad is felt so deeply by Darryl… Emotion went wild, tears flow down Darryl cheeks…

“I’m sorry… Dad… I’m sorry…”

Darryl & Kenny (Part 16 - Mum 2)

“Ah boy… Ah boy… Wake up… Mummy cooked some porridge for breakfast…”

“Morning, Mummy… What time is it now?”

“Morning… It’s 9am… Kenny asked me to wake you up so you can have your breakfast and medication…”

“He left for work already?”

“Silly… If he hasn’t, he be late for work… Quick wake up… I help you to wash up…”

“Erm….No need la… I can do it myself... Just need to walk slowly only… Anyway the doctor also asks me to exercise a bit…”

“You sure?”

“Yup…. I will call you if I need your help…”

“OK… Then mummy goes get the porridge ready for you…”

“Thanks Mum…”

So Darryl went to the wash up and change before heading to the dining room with food already on the table waiting… Mum was busy squeezing oranges to make fresh orange juice... He told her to just get it from the supermarket and save all the trouble of squeezing orange but Mum insisted to do her way… Darryl let out a smile and enjoys his porridge… Just then, he remembers what Kenny mentioned last night about his mum knowing about them… Darryl is contemplating whether or not to speak to her about it but he finally decided not to jeopardize the situation further and just keep quiet until the time when mum initiate the conversation…

So the day went by without nothing much to do beside watching TV and his mum helping with the household chores…Soon it was already dinner time, Mum cooked dinner and Kenny is home just nice to have dinner with them… After dinner, Kenny send Mum home while Darryl sit in the living room watching TV…

It was almost 11pm before Kenny reached home…

Darryl: “I was just about to report police that my wife is missing…”
Kenny: “Silly… I just went to supermarket with your mum and get some stuff she need for to take care of you so she need not need to carry with her everyday… And also I ask her to pack a change of clothes so I can put it here in case she need a case of clothes while taking care of the big baby…”
Darryl: “Wow… What a good daughter-in-law”
Kenny: “Not that… Just don’t want her to carry so much things everyday… At least I stock up for her first…Easier for her too…”
Darryl: “True… But I still expect you to take care of me for the rest of my life hor…”
Kenny: “What make you so sure that we will still be together next year this time…?”
Darryl: “Because I will do all I can to love you and be there for you…”
Kenny: “I know…”
Darryl: “But first I need a favour…”
Kenny: “What?”
Darryl: “I haven’t showered…”
Kenny: “OK let’s go… I need a shower too… Tomorrow I will tell your mum to shower you…”
Darryl: “NO!!!!!.... Don’t do that to me…”
Kenny: “She is your mother… She has already seen what she need to see so she can showered you”
Darryl: “Don’t want! Don’t want! I want my wife… I want my wife….”
Kenny: “Stop being a baby… Let go shower now… It’s late already… Tomorrow I need to work in order to feed you…”
Darryl: “Wah…. Say until like that…”
Kenny: “Anyway, did you talk to your mum today?”
Darryl: “Nope”
Kenny: “Why?”
Darryl: “Because she seems ok…”
Kenny: “So?”
Darryl: “So I just feel maybe it good that we don’t talk about it anymore…”
Kenny: “But you promise…”
Darryl: “Yes I did but I just don’t want to create more problem for us in the future…”
Kenny: “What do you mean?”
Darryl: “You see if I start talking to her about us… She will want to know more about how we started, when we started etc and I feel that the more information I am going to give her will mean that she know more about us…”
Kenny: “And why is that a bad thing?”
Darryl: “I just don’t feel right telling her all the details at this point of time…Although she says she is ok with us… It doesn’t mean she is totally acceptable what is happening… I just feel that if she is not going to initiate a conversation then we should just leave it as it is until she is really ready to know more… Too much information in too short of a time is not beneficial to us and her…I would rather take it slowly and talk to her when she is more ready… In fact, I am waiting for her to bring the topic up but she didn’t…”
Kenny: “Then you should talk to her…”
Darryl: “Let how… Mum, sit down and let talk about me and Kenny… It not possible right… If she is willingly to talk, I can talk to her anytime… But I don’t her to see it as me forcing her to accept her son is gay and the reason he move out is so that he can be with his lover and not with his parents…”
Kenny: “But… I feel….”
Darryl: “I know how you feel but put yourself in my position… If now it is your mum, what will you do? I am not running away from my promise to you but I just want sometime to think this through and how to approach it so as to not risk our relationship… I promise you I will talk to her and I will…”
Kenny: “OK… Then you better rest early…”
Darryl: “Hey… I haven’t shower!”
Kenny: “Ooops… I forgot… OK let go get you shower up and sleep…Sorry…”
Darryl: “I want more than clean clean…”
Kenny: “Notti….”
Darryl: “Hahahah…”

Darryl & Kenny (Part15 - Mum 1)

Today, Darryl will be discharging after 2 long weeks stay in the hospital. Darryl parent and Kenny were there to help with his discharge. Darryl needs to start his physiotherapy session in 3 days time and loads of medication to bring home… Darryl’s mum suggested that he move back temporary so that she can take care of him but Darryl rejected the idea. But compromise on giving his parents his house key so they can come and take care of him while Kenny is off to work…

When home, Kenny helped Darryl onto bed before heading out to buy lunch. Darryl was asleep by the time Kenny was home… Kenny checked on him and woken Darryl up..

Kenny: “Sorry… Did I wake you up?”
Darryl: “No… Am already up… Just lazy to sit up…”
Kenny: “Hungry?”
Darryl: “Not really? Dear…”
Kenny: “Yup…”
Darryl: “Have you heard from Kelvin?”
Kenny: “Nope… but I heard from Zac that he went on a holiday alone… I think maybe it good for him to do so…”
Darryl: “I wonder will I see him again…”
Kenny: “I am sure things will be back to normal soon… Who knows maybe he’s having a good time now with different guys…”
Darryl: “You really think so…”
Kenny: “I don’t know… Just don’t know what to say…”
Darryl: “Hahaha… Funny…”
Kenny: “Hey, don’t think so much about it… Things will be fine… Just give him sometime to think about what he want to do and I am sure once he figure it out, all will be fine… ok?”
Darryl: “OK…”
Kenny: “Just remember that there are some things you cannot control about… If he choose to avoid you, then what can you do?”
Darryl: “I know but I don’t want to lose him as a friend…
Kenny: “I know but what most important now is for you to get well… Anyway, I have called your office for you and inform them that you have discharge and will be on medical leave for the next 3 weeks till review…”
Darryl: “Thanks, Dear…”
Kenny: “Silly… We are together and it my duty to take care of you… You take a rest… I called you when dinner is ready…”
Darryl: “You cooking?!”
Kenny: “Yes… Any problem?”
Darryl: “Nope… Just feel so love…”
Kenny: “You will feel more love tomorrow when your mum is here…”
Darryl: “OMG!!!... Why do I agree to her request?”
Kenny: “Because you only have 2 option given by her… You rejected staying with her so you basically left with only one option…”
Darryl: “Dear, can you help me to the shower? I want to take a shower…”
Kenny: “Need me to shower you?”
Darryl: “Will you do that?”
Kenny: “Of course… Anyway your mother will shower you tomorrow…”
Darryl: “NO WAY!!!...”
Kenny: “Hahahaha… What she haven’t seen before…”
Darryl: “She never see my erection and how big it has grown since young…”
Kenny: “Big???”
Darryl: “Yes… Big!!!”
Kenny: “Ok ok… As long as you happy with the thought…Just hope you won’t have an erection when she showered you tomorrow…”
Darryl: “I will not let her showered me for sure… I will give my wife the honour…”
Kenny: “Provided I want the honour…”
Darryl: “Hey!!!...”
Kenny: “Yes…. How can I helps chew?”
Darryl: “Annoying…”
Kenny: “Ok ok… Let go showered…. And then I need to cook dinner…”

So Kenny help Darryl showered and then was cooking dinner when the doorbell ring… It was Darryl’s parent…

Kenny: “Uncle! Auntie! What a surprise?”
Mum: “We were at the supermarket so decided to buy some food to put it here so tomorrow I no need to carry around with me…”
Kenny: “You should have just told me what you need… I can get it for you…”
Mum: “It’s ok… I also don’t know what I need until I am at the supermarket… Hahaha… How’s ah boy?”
Kenny: “He is resting in the bedroom… Come let me help you to put the stuff into the fridge… You go ahead to see him in the room… I am cooking dinner for him as well…”
Mum: “Daddy, why not you go inside and see ah boy first… I help Kenny with the cooking.”
Kenny: “Auntie, I can handle it myself… Are you all staying for dinner?”
Mum: “Can we? Would it too much trouble?”
Kenny: “Not at all…”
Mum: “You are such a sweet boy…Ah boy is so lucky to be with you…”
Kenny: “What!!! How…”
Mum: “Mother instinct? Auntie may not study but I am not that stupid also… But cannot let his father know… He will disown him for sure… For me, I just happy as long as ah boy is happy…”
Kenny: “I’m sorry, Auntie…”
Mum: “Why sorry? Auntie is not blaming you at all… I can tell Ah boy is really happy being with you… I can’t say I am not disappointed at all but what can a mother ask for besides having her son being happy for the rest of his life… I am old liao and I cannot take care of him forever… So as long as he is happy, auntie cannot ask for more already…”
Kenny: “Auntie, i….”
Mum: “I go see Ah boy first… Later auntie come help you and cook something together first time as family… Hahahah”

After the dinner, Kenny sat in the room and started crying. Darryl was shocked by his tears until Kenny told him what happen.

Darryl: “Mum knew?”
Kenny: “Yup… And I can see the disappointment in her eyes even though she keep telling me she is happy as long as your are happy but her eyes said something different… I feel so bad… It like I broken her dream of having a grandchildren… I…”
Darryl: “It has nothing to do with you… I am the one breaking her heart… What else did she say?”
Kenny: “Not to tell your father about it because she know your father will not accept it and may even disown you…”
Darryl: “I think he will sure do it…”
Kenny: “I should have denied everything just now but I was so caught by surprise that I jus not sure how to react… Maybe if I deny, she will be even happier than having forcing herself to accept it… To make thing worst, she have to keep this a secret from your father, her husband… I feel so stupid…”
Darryl: “Dear, it not your fault… Stop blaming yourself… Maybe she is genuinely happy for both of us… Maybe she is just tired… I will talk to her tomorrow when she is here… Let me talk to her…”
Kenny: “You think it a good idea…”
Darryl: “I don’t know but I need to know how she feels about us… Stop blaming yourself…”

To be continue.

Darryl & Kenny (Part 14 - Kelvin)

The night was unbearable for Darryl as he keeps having spasm, even with just a light touch will send him into spasm and to make thing worst, he is vomiting non stop throughout… It even brought him to tears…. Kenny was so helpless… Finally the doctor came and injects some medication to relieve Darryl and help to sleep… However nurse still come almost every 2hrs to check on him.

The next morning, Darryl feels slightly better as the vomiting has finally stop but not the spasm though… Lionel dropped to visit before his shift started and even brought a bouquet of flower along…

“Awww…. That so sweet of you…” Darryl said.

“Don’t mention… Just a formality… hahaha… Anyway I will drop later again in the evening to maybe catch up with you 2…”

“Sure…”

With that, Lionel went for his shift and Kenny heading for home as well… Darryl was alone in the ward when Kelvin comes by shortly after Kenny left…

Kelvin: “Hey… Are you OK?”
Darryl: “Hey… Thanks for coming… Am feeling better… U just missed Kenny…”
Kelvin: “I know I saw him… I purposely missed him…”
Darryl: “Why?”
Kelvin: “I feel really bad and been blaming myself that I am the one to blame for you lying here… and I don’t know how to face Kenny..”
Darryl: “Don’t be so silly… Has nothing to do with you… It’s my own recklessness that got me here… Don’t blame yourself at all…”
Kelvin: “But….”
Darryl: “No more but… It’s really not your fault…”
Kelvin: “I just don’t know what to say… After the conversation and you are in the hospital… And I don’t know how to tell Kenny…”
Kenny: “I already know…”

Both Darryl and Kelvin look toward the entrance and Kenny was standing right there. Kelvin was shocked but Darryl was relaxed…

Darryl: “Thought you went home...”
Kenny: “Decided to get you some bread just in case your parent run late and you feel hungry…”
Darryl: “Thanks… You are the sweetest…”
Kenny: “I know… I shall leave you two to sort thing among yourself…”
Darryl: “OK… Love you…”
Kenny: “Love you too…”

During this whole time, Kelvin just keeps his head low and keeps quiet. He only acknowledge when Kenny bid goodbye to him... Darryl was looking at him when finally he look up to Darryl…

Darryl: “What’s wrong?”
Kelvin: “I just don’t know how to put it in words…”
Darryl: “Already tell you it has nothing to do with you… It my own recklessness that get me into this…”
Kelvin: “It’s not about that…”
Darryl: “Then?”
Kelvin: “Can you imagine how I am feeling now when i heard he says he love you?”
Darryl: “Ermmm….”
Kelvin: “I thought I can hold my feeling for you but after the kiss and the sort of confession, it just blew out of proportion now… It’s hurt me so much to hear that from you now…”
Darryl: “But we have always been doing that so what difference does it make now?”
Kelvin: “Because I love you too…”
Darryl: “I love you too but as a buddy and friend… I cannot give you what you want from me because I love Kenny so much… I cannot deny the fact that there are times I feel stranded in this monogamous relationship and wanted to break free but I just cannot do it… I just don’t have the guts to hurt him or make him sad…I feel so bad when he was here with me last night yet grateful that he didn’t leave me here alone… I cannot give him the best in term of materials but I have to at least try to give him “ME”… And that is what I wanted to give him now… He deserve so much more…”
Kelvin: “I am not asking much but just being with you…”
Darryl: “You are my best friend and close pal beside Robin and Kenny… I don’t want anything to change or any awkwardness between us… I don’t want you out of my life or anything of that sort but I can never love you the way I love Kenny… I don’t deny that night I feel nice talking to you and opening up to you… And frankly, I haven’t have much chance to do that with Kenny and it does make my heart that very moment but when I woke up and think it through while I was driving to work… I realized something… And that is I love you but not the same way as my love for Kenny…”
Kelvin: “You know I don’t even mind having a 3 way relationship… “
Darryl: “Don’t be silly… You deserve so much better… You are a good guy why want to settle for a 3 way relationship when you can someone who loves with everything he has… So why do you want to do this to yourself?”
Kelvin: “So that I can with you…”
Darryl: “Are you not being with me now? Everything we share and done so far, are you telling me all these are unreal? And you are doing these just so you can get near to me…?”
Kelvin: “No… I love being with you but I wanted more than friends… I just wanted more than that… There are time, I imagine myself in your arms,, I imaging myself kissing you and even making love to you… The person next to you is not Kenny but me… I even mistaken Zac for you…”
Darryl: “I….”
Kelvin: “I don’t know what is wrong with me… I know you are happily attached and I know your love for Kenny will never change for now… But I just hope… I just hoping that… that…. I can be yours…”
Darryl: “I don’t want to lose you…”
Kelvin: “I can no longer control myself for not loving you… I can no longer hide it… I don’t want to be just friend… I don’t know why am I doing this to myself but I just cannot take it anymore… I just cannot…”

Kelvin turn around and walk out of the ward… Darryl tried to stop him but he is in tremendous pain when he tries to move… He sees Kelvin walk out and think

“Will I ever see you again? Is this the end of our friendship….”

To be continue...

Darryl & Kenny (Part 14 - Hospital)

“Mr Tay…. Mr Tay….” Darryl slowly opens his eyes and a female paramedic is calling out his name….

“Mr Tay... Can you hear me? Mr Tay….” The paramedic called out again and Darryl nodded his head…

“You have met with an accident and we are sending you now to the hospital... Don’t worry everything will be fine… You just take a rest and we will be reaching soon….” With that Darryl went unconscious again…

The next thing he heard was “Bed 12… awake… Called Dr Lim…” Within minute, someone called out his name…

“Hey, Buddy… Lionel here…Are you doing ok?” Darryl nodded…

“You have hurt your spinal disc during the car accident and the orthopedics are scheduling you for an op to replace the damage disc within the next 2 hours…”

“How did you know?”

“What a question? I am in A&E department remember? Supposedly to be off duty until I saw you being wheel in so decided to hang around to ensure you are fine…”

“Thanks…”

“Kenny is outside… I called him in…”

“Thanks…”

Kenny came rushing in…

Kenny: “Are you ok?”
Darryl: “Sorry to make you worry…”
Kenny: “Don’t be… You be ok… I have informed your family as well because I cannot sign the consent letter on your behalf…”
Darryl: “Thanks, Dear…”
Kenny: “Silly…That what we are in a relationship for right,,, To be there for each other…”
Darryl: “Dear, I got something I need to tell you…”
Kenny: “Not now... Nothing is more important than you getting well and live my future with me…”
Darryl: “But I need to tell you…”
Kenny: “I know what you want to tell me…”
Darryl: “Huh…”
Kenny: “I am not deaf and you guys are not that soft when you speak… It is not important at this moment… I just want you to get well and so I can lean on you and leech your fortune away…”
Darryl: “Then you should wish I am killed at the accident…”
Kenny: “Rubbish…. Look like I no need to be here at all since you can still joke…”
Darryl: “Don’t go… You know I need you…”
Kenny: “Of course I do…”
Lionel: “Hey, there is someone outside looking for you… So I assume is your parent”
Kenny: “I go out and bring them in… I see u in awhile….”

Soon Darryl was push into the operation theatre for the operation, everything went smooth… By the time Darryl is up, he is already in the ward with Kenny dozing off by the bedside…He tried not to wake him but Kenny seems to know that he is awaken…

Darryl: “Hey…. Did I wake you up?”
Kenny: “I must have dozed off… how long have you been up.?”
Darryl: “Not more than 5 min… Saw you sleep like a baby... Where are Mum and Dad?”
Kenny: “I get them go home first… Told them that I will be here and tomorrow morning they will come and look after you while I head to work…”
Darryl: “You actually tell them that…”
Kenny: “Yup… As you know your mum, I need to come up with something so that she can go home and rest…”
Darryl: “Thanks… But you should be home to rest… You didn’t really rest since last night…”
Kenny: “Am ok as you are ok…”
Darryl: “I am so sorry to make you worry…”
Kenny: “Yes, you should… Why are you so careless?”
Darryl: “I was just thinking of something and lost track…”
Kenny: “I know what you’re thinking of…”
Darryl: “You do?”
Kenny: “You don’t call me Mrs Tay for nothing, right? It got to be something to do with Kelvin…You guys have a fling and you are thinking of how to break the news to me right?”
Darryl: “Not even close… I don’t have fling with him and I am thinking of how to sort it out with him then to break the news to you…”
Kenny: “I don’t know how you going to sort it out? Look like I need to fend off my competitor… Hmmm”
Darryl: “You seriously not concern about this…”
Kenny: “I can’t stop him from feeling for you… Who am I to tell him anything? It’s you who need to know what you want…”
Darryl: “I know I want to be with you and only you but last night when he suddenly lean over and kiss me I was caught by surprise…”
Kenny: “He KISSED you…”
Darryl: “Erm, yes…. Am sorry and I know I shouldn’t have but….”
Kenny: “Relax la… I’m not angry…”
Darryl: “You are not?”
Kenny: “Because I heard what you say this morning about you loving me so I know that you really love me and if you can turn back time, you will not allow it to happen…”
Darryl: “If only I can turn back time… But I can’t”
Kenny: “Just don’t think about all these at the moment… Concentrate in getting well so that we can spend a lot of time together…”
Darryl: “But I promise Kelvin will talk to him tomorrow”
Kenny: “Leave that to me… I have already informed him about your hospitalization.”
Darryl: “OK…”
Kenny: “I’m sure if he care for you, he will not pressed to talk about it now…OK… Get some rest… “
Darryl: “OK.. But I need to pee…”
Kenny: “Go ahead…”
Darryl: “Erm… I need help…”
Kenny: “Darling, you are attached to the urine bag… So just pee…”
Darryl: “Oh… I din even noticed…”

Darryl & Kenny (Part 13 - What happen next?)

It came so unexpected… It was wrong but the feeling was nice…

“NO! NO!!... This is wrong!!!” Darryl thought and pushed Kelvin away

Thought it was just a touch on the lip but lasted like forever. Darryl turned away and dare not look at Kelvin…

“Sorry… I just couldn’t help it… I know I shouldn’t have… I’m sorry… Maybe I should just go… Sorry” Kelvin said and was about to leave

“Why don’t you just stay? It’s late plus you been drinking so it not really safe to drive…”

“But…Just now…”

“Don’t worry about it… we are just under the alcohol influenced…”

“Sorry… I shouldn’t have…”

“No sweat… Go to bed… Good night…”

Darryl went back to his room and closes the door… His heart is beating fast and a strange feeling arises…

“What is happening? Why am I feeling like that? What is wrong with me? I love Kenny… Stop thinking… And go to bed….” Darryl thought to him… But it turned out to be a sleepless night…

The next morning, Kenny came home with breakfast and Darryl wake up wash up and join him for breakfast. Kelvin was already at the dining room when Darryl was out…

Kenny: “Good Morning!” Darryl lean forward to give a kiss on Kenny…
Kelvin: “Good Morning”
Darryl: “Morning… Sleep well last night…”
Kelvin: “Yup… The bed was very comfortable in fact”
Darryl: “So I make a right choice…”
Kenny: ‘So how’s yesterday? Am so tired to even work on a weekend…”
Darryl: “It was ok; we just go GROSS-ceries shopping as indicated by him and then IKEA to get some stuff… Then dinner and then home to chill lor…”
Kelvin: “Yup… We were expecting you to be home already but yet… Hmmm”
Kenny: “I also wish to be home but since my promotion, my boss is like going crazy on me… Golf games, conference call, Big meeting, small meeting all have to go… I might as well live in the office… Save time travelling as well… Though he says I am off today, I can guarantee he will be calling me later… Poor me…”
Darryl: “I know it hard on you…”
Kenny: “I so wanted to quit my job and just be home and do nothing for a while before looking for a new job”
Kelvin: “But it still too early, maybe things will get better when u settle into your promotion… Now you could be just a little too unfamiliar with the role and job scope.. Or maybe your boss is just trying to let u get use to more thing before deciding what you can be entrusted with…”
Darryl: “Kel does make a point here… Why not just hang in there for a little longer and see how things goes.. If really not something you want, then quit…Don’t be impulsive.. Things may get better once you are use to it and know how to delegate downward…”
Kenny: “I guess so… Anyway, you two enjoy the breakfast… I really need to sleep…”
Darryl: “OK… I’ll finish up and head to work soon…”
Kelvin: “Me too…”
Kenny: “I’ll call you when I wake up..”
Darryl: “OK… Night dear…”
Kelvin: “Night!”

Kenny walked back to the bedroom and closed the door… A unspoken awkwardness immediately arise between Darryl and Kelvin the moment Kenny turn around.. Both of the remains silence throughout breakfast… But Darryl was kind of nervous as he worry that Kelvin will ask him about the kiss last night… But he did ask him

Kelvin: “Hey about last night… I am really sorry and shouldn’t have done that… But I just cannot control myself when I see you… You make my heart skipped the moment I lay my eyes on you… I don’t know why I had been suppressing this feeling for you until last night…”
Darryl: “Stop… Don’t say anymore… This is not the right time… I think you are still drunk from the wine last night…”
Kelvin: “No I am not… I am very sober and I know what I am doing last night… I didn’t sleep and I have been thinking of you and how I want to be with you… Though I know, it may be impossible but I just love you and I cannot control myself… I tried but it just grew deeper and deeper... I just cannot resist you…”
Darryl: “Why are you telling me? You shouldn’t have say anything… You shouldn’t have…”
Kelvin: “But I don’t want to hide it anymore… “
Darryl: “Please… This is not the right time…”
Kelvin: “Then when is?”
Darryl: “I don’t know but I know that I love Kenny… I don’t know why this sudden change in our relationship… But I don’t want this to stop us from being close… We have so much fun and laughter together… And all sudden, this might change… I don’t want to lose you as a friend… It is not as simple as 123… So can we not talk about this… Not here and not now…”
Kelvin: “Guess I will never able to talk about it again…”
Darryl: “Please… Kenny is inside… Right now. I really don’t think we should be talking about this… Please….”
Kelvin: “I understand… It all about Kenny…”
Darryl: “No it not all about him…”
Kelvin: “Then what?!”
Darryl: “Shhhhhhhhh….. Both of us need to go to work so can we just put this behind… OK I promise we will have a dinner tomorrow… Only both of us so that we can talk this over… OK?”
Kelvin: “OK… Tomorrow…”
Darryl: “OK… Tomorrow… I really need to go to work…and I din even eat my breakfast…”
Kelvin: “Sorry…”
Darryl: “It’s ok…”

While Darryl was driving to work, he just don’t know how to react to the confession from Kelvin… They are the best of friends and all sudden, everything might change… What will happen next? And how is he going to sort this problem out… He totally was not thinking straight…

“BANG!!!!!!”

Darryl & Kenny (Part 12 - Shocking)

Darryl: “Finally! Home Sweet Home!”
Kelvin: “Happy with the new renovation…”
Darryl: “Perfect! The exact idea I have for my love pad with Kenny. Everything just look so like a home rather than a bachelor pad…Don’t you think?”
Kelvin: “Yup…I hope I can have this as well soon…”
Darryl: “Well, just get Zac to commit… “
Kelvin: “Erm… If only thing can be some easy, it’s not him actually… It’s me… I have someone in my life that I grew fonder to…”
Darryl: “Do I know him?”
Kelvin: “May have seen him before but don’t think I officially introduce you to him before… But he is attached… Happily attached actually… I don’t think I will even stand a chance. That why I didn’t really say anything about it… I cannot deny I wanted more with him but then again, as the days goes by, I know what we have now is all I can ever ask for from him… I choose to love him from where I am and not asking anything back”
Darryl: “Does Zac know?”
Kelvin: “Maybe… I am not sure… He ask me for commitment but then I just feel he is not the one for me though I been spending some time with him but then again the feeling is more like best friend…”
Darryl: “Best friend?”
Kelvin: “OK. Best friend with sex… But there is just something in me that I want to wait for the other guy which I know I am stupid and selfish about this… But…. I just don’t know how to put it in word anymore…”
Darryl: “Hey, buddy… Don’t be so despair… Things happen for a reason and nobody will be very sure what will be in the future… Don’t let anything awkward come in between… I cannot say I know very well what I am saying but I know you will always do the right thing…”
Kelvin: “Thanks so much… Anyway, let drop the topic… I better get going as I am sure Kenny will be home soon and you 2 really need some quality time alone to make up for lost time… hahaha…”
Darryl: “Rubbish... He got a late night conference call with his office in USA so will be home late… So you can stick around and maybe we can grab some dinner together and also need to do some grocery shopping…”
Kelvin: “Sure, am free anyway… But grocery shopping? The term sound weird… GROSS-CERY… Hahaha”
Darryl: “You hor… I go get myself clean up and then we will head out… I get you a towel too so you can wash up…”
Kelvin: “No different anyway… I wearing the same clothes after shower…”
Darryl: “OK I get you a change of clothes as well but underwear, I cannot help… Or wait… maybe I got some new one…”
Kelvin: “Excuse I very BIG hor… your underwear cannot fit my package… Hahahahaha”
Darryl: “I don’t know about that… Hahahah… So want or not…”
Kelvin: “Just a change of clothes will do… I can go commando… Hahaha”
Darryl: “Dangerous lor… Wait your mr BIG pitch a tent how… embarrassing to walk next to you… Hahaha…”
Kelvin: “Erm…”
Darryl: “Hahahaha…. Kidding only la… I get you a new piece of my underwear and u see can fix or not… Think u should be same size as me…”
Kelvin: “Thanks…”
Darryl: “Please… You have me so much for the past month… This is nothing… And after u wear the underwear, no need to return… Hahahaha”
Kelvin: “Of course la…”
Darryl: “Give me a minute…”

Darryl went to get Kelvin a new set of clothes and text Kenny that he will be out with Kelvin before heading into shower... They went to Carrefour at Suntec City for grocery shopping and then dinner after that…

“Wow! Didn’t know grocery shopping with a man can be so fun… Hahahah” Kelvin suddenly exclaimed…

“It’s the company you are with… Me!”

“Yes! Yes! It all about u… Hahahaha”

After Carrefour, Darryl makes a turn to IKEA to get some items before heading back to home… They were exhausted when they reach home. Kenny was still not home yet… Darryl give him a call and been informed by his colleague that he is still in the conference call…

Darryl: “Look like he wont’ be home anytime soon… His job is making him very tired and no social life…”
Kelvin: “Career more important ma… You think he wanted that…”’
Darryl: “OK la… I am not complaining just feel that it really very bad that he work so late everyday… And I don’t really have much time with him… But I guess you are right.. No choice when it come to work…”
Kelvin: “U scared lonely… I accompany until he come back lor… “
Darryl: “That very lovely of you… I going to shower first then I will open a bottle of wine and we chat ya…”
Kelvin: “Can I join you in shower? Hahahaha…”
Darryl: “Sure of course… “
Kelvin: ”REALLY?!”
Darryl: ‘Yup there is another shower there… “
Kelvin: “Damn it….”
Darryl: “Hahahaha”
Kelvin: “Spoiler…”

Kelvin was all showered and sitting in the living room when Darryl walks out… Darryl went to the cooler to get a bottle of wine and join Kelvin at the living room… The mood was really relaxing with soft music at the background and also the bottle set them in the mood to chat anything under the sun from past relationship to present and work… Darryl feels that he is closer to Kelvin than ever since he moves into his place for that short one month… Kelvin seems to become a confidante where he can really talk to and laugh with…

It is a nice feeling actually to have such a close friend other than Kenny. But he realizes that ever since Robin’s departure. he has never really open up to anyone like today even when he is talking to Kenny. He wondered is Kelvin his new Robin in his life. The friendship between him and Kelvin just blossom over during the one month they stay together…

And times past like rocket, without knowing it, it already 2am in the morning… Darryl asks Kelvin to stay over because it not really good for him to drive back after drinking… Darryl give Kenny a call but he is still in office working his head off.. And may not come back for the night but he will be off tomorrow so Darryl bid him goodbye and hang up..

He turns around and Kelvin planted a kiss on him… Lip to lip….
