Both Darryl and Kenny were shocked on how to react to the sentence… They are holding their breath hoping that nothing more will come out but Ma just continue…
Ma: “You have known each other for so long even though when you are younger, Ken did bring some female friend home… But we can tell that those are just schoolmates or normal friends… However when you are with Ken, his eyes just sparkled like a diamond and that kind of feeling is like seeing someone you love…”
Darryl: “I know…”
Ma: “Then as the years go by, the 2 of you just get more and more intimate and I never see Ken bringing back any girls anymore… And at times, when Ken showed us the photos you guys taken, I just feel that there is something more… It kind of worried me quite a bit…”
Kenny: “Do we really have to do this now? It was so nice to have dinner with you guys and yet you turn the happy dinner into something so… so… Haiz”
Pa: “We know that there is something else about your relationship with each other… More than just close friends, brothers or whatever you guys term it in front of others... Something more intimate… But we just couldn’t get the word out of it…”
Kenny: “Fine, if you want to know the truth… Me and Darryl are… We are…”
Ma: “You are…?”
Darryl: “You are right… We are more than brothers or friends…”
Pa: “WHAT!!! You mean… You mean…”
Darryl: “Let me finish… Kenny is everything in my life, he more than a friend, more than a brother… When I was down, he is there… When I was happy, he is there… When I attempted suicide, he was there… Without him, I won’t be sitting here anymore…”
Ma: “You attempted suicide?!”
Kenny: “Twice… to be exact”
Darryl: “Yup… Twice… When grandmother passed away, my life turned upside down… She is everything to me…Everything… I lost my everything and kind of lost and depressed, I lost my will to live… But Kenny was there to support me and give me the support that I needed… He helps me pull through that period by being there for me… During this recent trip to visit my friend, he let me see how much he is willing to give to others to help them… Something that I never realize before… And I admire him for everything he has done…”
Ma: “Ken is a good boy…”
Darryl: “Yup, a very good boy… And I have so much to learn from him…I may have already been dead if not for him…”
Kenny: “You know I will never let you do that… I made a promise and I will not break it… You are there for me, I am sure when I needed you…” Darryl nodded
Pa: “So you guys are not together…?”
Kenny: “We are!!! And always will be… I will be there for him, and he will be there for me… Nothing going to change this… Hopefully…”
Ma: “I am so glad that both of you supported each other and I am so proud of you, Ken…”
Pa: “But are you guys…”
Ma: “Pa, I don’t think they are… I think Darryl is very grateful of our son that he appreciates him more... That’s all… There is just something more than a normal relationship between them but I am sure they are not together as a couple…”
Pa: “OK… If that what it is, I’m relieved… OK, let order some desserts… hahahah”
So the bomb is currently being defused for the moment and dinner was resumed… By the time, Darryl finally reached home… It was already past midnight… He jumped into the shower and sat in the bathtub…
“What a night…” He thought to himself and then his mobile phone ring… He already expecting Kenny will call him thus he reached out to his mobile next to him…
Darryl: “Good Morning, Mrs Tay…”
Kenny: “Good Morning, Mrs Chew… What you doing now?”
Darryl: “Sitting in the bathtub and talking to you…”
Kenny: “Oooo… I so wanted to be there doing the same with you…”
Darryl: “I know… What are you doing now?”
Kenny: “Have finished my shower and now lying on my bed missing you…”
Darryl: “Orh…”
Kenny: “Orh?”
Darryl: “What?!” Darryl let a smile in his tone
Kenny: “I am sure you missing me too…”
Darryl: “Hmmm…”
Kenny: “Dear, sorry for tonight…”
Darryl: “It’s Ok… Nothing major… Aren’t you glad that we have decided not to come out to them?”
Kenny: “I was very tempted too… Luckily you stop me but now I think about it… I think we did come out to them indirectly though…”
Darryl: “Did we? I thought we…”
Kenny: “Yes we did...”
Darryl: “Maybe but to them, they think that we are just supporting each other…”
Kenny: “Yup… Thanks dear… Really don’t know what to do without you around; I think I will just come out to them without thinking…”
Darryl: “If they are open to it, I don’t mind coming out as well but the thing is they are not…”
Kenny: “Yup, I know what you mean… Especially Pa last sentence… And that is where I am really glad we decided not to come out else I really don’t know will I ever see you again…”
Darryl: “Of course you will, but I think they will just get really upset…”
Kenny: “Yup… Thanks again for helping me resolve this awkward situation…”
Darryl: “You’re welcome, Mrs Tay…”
Kenny: “What are you talking to Ma just now? Seems very secretive…”
Darryl: “Nothing much… Just asking her to keep a promise for me not to tell my parents about me attempting suicide…”
Kenny: “And what did she say?”
Darryl: “Well, she told me to be strong, as this is the cycle of life… Something that nobody can escape so we just have to face it positively… And she said that if I need to talk, I can always call her… Don’t keep it to myself…”
Kenny: “I see… Anything else I need to know, Mrs Chew?”
Darryl: “Erm… I told her about the ring also… I said that if she is not comfortable with the same ring idea then we can take it off…”
Kenny: “What?! You really said that??? But why?”
Darryl: “Because I think they are really concerns about us wearing the same ring so I think it best for me to…”
Kenny: “Then what she said? Please don’t tell me she wants us to take it off…”
Darryl: “OK, she doesn’t want us to take it off…”
Kenny: “Really?”
Darryl: “Yup… I explained to her about the ring also… Or should I say lied to her… Feel so bad though…”
Kenny: “Well, I guess we have no choice until we are sure they are really ok with our relationship…”
Darryl: “Of course I know about that… Now thinking back on what happen, it really weird how this conversation actually comes out though…”
Kenny: “I was shocked too… But well, we managed to put it off for a while so we did a good job I guess… And now back to us…”
Darryl: “What about us?”
Kenny: “Why do you tell them that I only moving in next month? I thought we agree on tonight? And now see what you have done… I am still lying in my own bed…”
Darryl: “Frankly, I also don’t know why I tell them that… “
Kenny: “Huh?!”
Darryl: “Just that at that moment of time, I feel that i should just take their son away like that… So I just say next month… At least give them time to adjust I guess…”
Kenny: “Hmmm…”
Darryl: “I know what you thinking… But then I think like that it also good for us what… Got more time to redo this place a bit as well…”
Kenny: “But i…”
Darryl: “Yes, I know you want me by your side… You can still come over anytime… You have the keys and everything here… So anytime… Just not official only what… You sounded like I banning you from coming like that…”
Kenny: “No… I just miss sleeping with you…”
Darryl: “Erm… Now you can say that but after staying with me for long, you will say different already lor…”
Kenny: “No I won’t… “
Darryl; “Yes you will…”
Kenny: “I will show you I won’t…”
Darryl: “OK OK… We shall see…”
Kenny: “Hey…”
Darryl: “OK la… I going to dry up and then go to bed… It’s near 1am already… You better go to sleep as well… Tomorrow need to work…”
Kenny: “OK… You sleep tight…”
Darryl: “You too… Good night, Mrs Tay”
Kenny: “Good Night, Mrs Chew… Love you…”
Darryl: “I love you too… Night…”
