Chapter 43

Kong's POV

After the day we spent with P'Ming... P'Forth.. their friends and boyfriends.. we all kept in touch with them through messages. The hazing training has been completed and everyone wants Arthit to be head hazer and Knot to be second in command. That will actually balance things because Knot is calm and thinks a lot while Arthit is a bit tempered. But all of them will make the perfect team. Also, their faces will be scary when they keep emotionless faces. I still can't get used to seeing them like that especially Arthit.. he is really really... I don't know what to say.. hot seems to be a very little word to describe it.

P'Ming and P'Forth have both been selected in the interview.. they both are going to be heads of the quality check department and production department. They also met P'Gun as CEO and also as my brother.. they complained to me saying that he is a completely different person in the office... very stern.. confident .. P'Ming even asked me if he has split personality. They are now really close to us. I sometimes feel that time is running.. it has already been a year we have been introduced as the Suthilak heir... now I will be introduced as the Heir of P'Sing and P'Kit's RS Company in another two weeks on the day of graduation.

P'Sing and P'Kit said that they would come to the graduation ceremony. Obviously, the reporters will come around. All they will answer is my god-son in getting graduated so it is common to come. This year the valedictorian name is not given before... it is said to be suspense. So I really have no idea when my full name will be announced. P'Kit has asked me to chill and enjoy my graduation saying that they have everything planned.

Arthit's POV

In two weeks... P'Kong is going to graduate. All our parents are going to come.. even P'Sing and P'Kit. I am planning to propose P'Kong on that day... but the only problem is there are many people whom I should ask permission from.. trust me.. his brothers.. his parents.. the hazers and his friends.. their families.. my friends and their families also.. can you see it.. so many people.. aish...

I asked P'Tay, P'Gun, My friends, and P'Kong's friends to gather at P'Gun's apartment without P'Kong's knowledge. I even asked P'Ming, P'Forth.. his friends... Nong Kit and Nong Beam to join. They have are also close to both P'Kong and me. P'Forth, P'Ming, and P'Pha actually treat P'Kong as their younger brother.. so here I am standing in front of them.

"Everyone... I want to propose P'Kong.. please give me your permission.." There I said it. No words are heard.. everyone is dead silent.

"Arthit.. repeat what you said.." P'Tay asked again.

"I.. want to.. propose P'Kong on the graduation day in the cheer hall.. please give me your permission." I said and bowed to all of them.

"Yayyyyyyyyyyy" They all shouted and jumped. Thank god I am given permission from one generation.. one more is left.. our elders... After a few minutes, everyone calmed down and came P'Tay came forward.

"Nong... I have already told you this... I trust you with him.. but let me warn you.. hurt him and I will show you hell when you are alive." He said. I nodded and he hugged me.

"And don't think we do not like you.. he will also get the same warning.. but after he accepts.." P'Em said. I just smiled.

"P.. He will never hurt me.." I said.. they all smiled broadly. P'Ming and all also congratulated me and wished me luck. P'Tay invited them to the graduation.

"I am pretty sure you don't want to miss your brother getting proposed right.." That was what P'Tay said.

After that, I have discussed with them about all the arrangements. Cheer hall means a lot to me.. other than the beach it is there that we have our emotional moment.. it was where we first met... first fought.. cheered.. and even it was there we talked after he was announced as the heir last year.. so I want to propose him there only.

After two days... All the elders were gathering at P'Kong's house so I will ask them then. I have selected rings for us.. bought all the things... P'Tay will get the cheer hall closed for the students after 3 days so that we can start our arrangements. P'Gun has agreed to keep P'Kong busy with the name of the project along with P'Ming and P'Forth while the rest of us will make the arrangements.

I went to meet all the elders. I did not inform them about my arrival so they were surprised to see me. I was nervous about what they will say. Although P'Tay has assured me that everything will be okay.. but still I am nervous. I was sitting near my parents and everyone was discussing about P'Tay and P'Em's marriage.. yes.. their wedding date has been fixed.. it will be 2 weeks after graduation. I decided it is time to tell them. I mustered all the courage I could and stood in front of them. They were all looking at me.

"I want to propose to P'Kong on the day of his graduation. Pa... Ma... Mom... Dad... Uncles and Aunties.. please allow me to take care of him forever. I promise I will not hurt him and always stay by his side. Please give me your permission. " I said and closed my eyes due to the tension I was feeling. I opened them when I felt someone hug me and it was Mom and Dad.

"We trust you, son.. you have all our permissions." Mom said and everyone nodded.

"Oon.. when do you want to get married.. don't tell me before graduation.." My ma teased me.

"No Ma... I want to marry him as soon as I graduate.. but I want him to be my fiancé. I want to let the world know that I am his and he is mine before he enters the real world out there." I said.

"Oho... My Oon is possessive ah. " My father teased along with other elders cooing at me.

"Who would not if the person is like P'Kong." I said proudly grinning like an idiot. They all laughed at what I told accepting it.

I went back to my dorm after talking to them about our plans. The days have been passing and tomorrow he is going to graduate.. he is getting tensed about tomorrow.. while here I am soothing him but actually more tensed and nervous for his answer.

Graduation Day

Today is graduation day. I have been helping P'Kong to get ready. He is all set to go.. while all I could do is stay rooted and stare at him. I don't want to send him out... He looks fine.. all cool...

I want to reserve him completely to me... I just went to him and kissed him... His neck.

"Oon we need to go.. stop stop.." He tried to get off my hold.

"P.. You are really looking cute and handsome.. how do you expect me to stop. I want to lock you up and not let you out. I don't want people to call you cute na.. please let only me be the one to see this side P.." I whispered in his ears..

"Oon... there can be many students or people out there looking at me.. but Oon.. they can only look at me.. but you... you have all of me and the same goes for me too. I am the only one who can have you." He said with a low voice becoming completely red.

"Aww my P.. you are making me fall all for you over again. " I said and hugged him. " I love you a lot P." I added.

"I love you too Oon.."

Kong's POV

We made our way to the Auditorium. All my friends and family members are already here. I hugged everyone greeting them. I stood in front of Mom and Dad.

"Mom... Dad.. thank you for coming.. " I said them.

"You are also our son Kong.. you are no less than Oon to us.. in fact, you can be more than him... we are fine with that." Mom said and we all laughed looking at Arthit pouting.

"Ma... I am your son.. you can't do that." He exclaimed whining.

"Oh Oon... I know you like Kong more than us.. so the same goes with us also and he is also more lovely than you stupid brat.. so stop whining now." Dad added.. he could only pout while others laugh.

P'Sing and P'Kit have already come here.. and the news that his God-Son is graduating is already all over the news. I secretly met P'Sing and P'Kit in the waiting room being guarded by P'Tay and P'Gun along with Em and Arthit. I hugged them. They congratulated me. We took some photos and then went back to the Auditorium.

The graduation ceremony has started. Graduates of all faculties are receiving the certificates. Engineering will be the last faculty. It took good 30minutes for me and my friends to get the certificates. We all friends are sitting together and our families are sitting at the back.

It was time for them to announce the top three scorers of the batch.

"This year the top scorers are actually from a quite rare faculty let us see who they are... Okay... So Top 3 is ***** From faculty of  *****. "

"The top 2nd is Khun Tew from the faculty of Engineering." The MC announced.

We all were cheering and taking photos while Tew was receiving the trophy and medal.

"Now we are left with the top scorer.. but before revealing who he is.. we will reveal which faculty he is because the dean of the faculty would like to talk a few words about him before announcing his name. So the faculty is ENGINEERING Faculty.." The MC announced.

I could see our dean getting on to the stage and adjusting the mike.. we were all clapping our hands as a sign of respect for him.

3rd person POV

"A warm welcome to everyone who is here. I know it is not common for a dean to talk like this.. but trust me.. this student is worth this... I first came to know his name from his hazers saying that he always questions them till they exactly explain how the task they give is going to help them. He and his friends were always like that.. we can't actually say that they are rude or against the system like that because.. all they do is make us explain things with their calm voice and pleading questions.. they make us explain them clearly... but once they understand the worth.. they were the only ones to complete the task which made me curious to meet them. That person has always scored near cent percent since the first exam. He has been into all the activities.. helping others and also juniors. In his third year.. he has done something that not even one batch of hazers could do.. he has changed the light of SOTUS with which people see... All the years as dean I had received complaints against hazers and SOTUS.. but this year we received compliments and requests to continue this tradition. I really want to thank this person and his team for protecting our tradition and also for letting the management and upcoming students know the pride one has to take in being an engineer. Thank You... I will never forget this batch.. you all will always be the best under me... Thank you, everyone. " Our Dean said.. and walked down the stage.

"So... I know most of you all must have guessed this person.. but for parents and students who don't know him. Let me introduce him. The most popular Campus Moon for the last four years. The head hazer of Engineering department last year along with being the head for all the other faculty hazers... representative of college in both academics and extracurricular activities along with his hazer team. The Top student of the batch and the valedictorian Khun Kongpob Suthilak Prachaya Perawat." The MC announced.

Kong's POV

Oh my god. I feel like crying. This is the first time the dean has praised someone.. and that happens to me and in front of all the faculty students and parents. I came out of my thoughts when my friends called me. I stood up... I could see people clapping their hands... Arthit and his friends are practically jumping.. the reporters were taking photos.. and that was when it clicked to me... I was announced as Kongpob Suthilak Prachaya Perawat.

I went on to the stage.. took my medal and trophy. I stood in front of the mike and smiled towards everyone.

"Swadee Khab everyone. I actually don't know what to talk now.. but I would like to share some things with everyone. You all might have understood by now that at first even we were trying to question the SOTUS system... but yes in a kind way so that they can't cut us out angrily." I said and stopped for a second. I could hear my seniors shouting something along with my friends and everyone was looking at them not understanding but I understood it.

"Okay, what they are all shouting is the one I questioned is my own brother Tay Suthilak.. yup. even though it was my own brother... I wanted to learn things so I kept on asking questions till I understood about it.. but after I and my friends understood it.. we started respecting it.. we taught them to our juniors because SOTUS helps everyone a lot. In the real world terminology.. a person is respected from the heart for their values and not for their status... if the respect is received by status then it will vanish with the status.. but if it is because of your values and attitude.. it will always be there even in our absence. And those values are what we learned in SOTUS. So my fellow graduated let us make a promise to ourselves that we will always keep those values where ever we are and whatever position we will be in. And my juniors... I hope that you will all also keep up the values and help your juniors to learn them... but in maybe a different way because different generations need to be taught in different ways. Now I request all the graduates to stand up. "

I said and moved to my left and tossed the cap. The action was followed by everyone. After that, we had a group photo along with all our faculty teachers and our Dean.

I along with my friends met with our parents who were waiting on the ground. P'Sing and P'Kit are still here. They were all looking at us very proudly. They all hugged and congratulated us. The last ones to congratulate me are my P'Sing and P'Kit. Both of them hugged me really tight. We broke the hug when some reporter came up and asked if they could address them. I thought they would agree but they said No.

"Today we want to let our son be a graduate and enjoy the moment. I don't want to spoil his day with the interviews. The questions will be answered after three weeks and we will officially introduce him. This day comes only once in a lifetime.. so I want him to enjoy the fullest." P'Kit said politely but warning could be heard saying them to stay away for three weeks. I just hugged him tight. P'Sing ruffled my hair. The reporter left but I am still hugging P'Kit. Oon must still be busy inside.. he is in charge right. I need to wait was what I was actually thinking.

"You are a graduate buddy.. stop clinging to him like that kiddo." P'Sing said.

"Get lost Tuan. I have met him after nearly a month.. stop teasing him." P'Kit retorted and I stuck my tongue out. When I looked for others.. they were not there. I looked at P'Kit and P'Sing questioningly. They both smiled.

"Simba it is time to get blindfolded." P'Sing said and tied a cloth covering my eyes. I kept quiet trying to analyze the route.. they took me to the university.. and I feel like it is the way to cheer hall. I heard the door opening and closing. I was made to stop suddenly and I also felt both of them leaving my side. I was about to talk when I heard my Oon's voice.

"P.. Relax.. nothing is wrong... Please open your blindfold na." He said. I could sense some happiness along with nervousness. I slowly removed the cloth and I gasped. I was standing in between a heart shape with I love you return with petals in front of me.

The whole room was decorated with red balloons.. red roses and rose petals everywhere

It was then I noticed what was written behind Oon... I had tears in my eyes looking at it.....

Oon who was standing in front of it went on one kneel... opening a box with rings in it.

"P.. I have already told you that you are the first person who has ordered me.. shouted at me.. but made me obey you... now I want to say more to it P.. you are the first one I want to see when I wake up. I want you to be the one with whom I share my day with... I want to have funny moments with you. I want to be the one to tease you and make you feel things which you make me feel.. one of them is being loved. Baby... I know I have hurt you a few times... I am sorry for that P.. but.. you are the only one whom I love.. it will always be you and only you P.. You have made me the best version of me.. you have always supported me and stood by me.. you have always guided me.. please give me a chance to spend the rest of my life with you. I won't promise that we will always be happy P.. but I promise to stay beside you and face them together with you. I promise to never let you go away, love. So P.. will you give the best head hazer to be a chance to be with a rude junior of his. Will you marry me.. ? " He expressed all his emotions with fewer words. I could feel the love and other emotions in his eyes. I was covering my mouth with my hands and having tears in my eyes. I could not react.. my mind has been shouting yes but no voice came out.

I made him get up nodding my head shouting yes yes multiple times.. finally, my voice came out... I hugged him. He broke the hug and kissed me. After that we exchanged rings and I hugged him again.

Arthit's POV

He said yes.. he said yes... I could not contain my happiness I hugged him tight after exchanging rings. We broke the hug when we heard cheers. I forgot that they were all here.

"Welcome to our family officially Kong." My Ma and Pa exclaimed while hugging him. He hugged them back muttering thank you.

"Welcome to the family officially Arthit... Stay happy." Mom... Dad said while hugging me.

"Welcome to the family Arthit." P'Sing and P'Kit said while hugging me. All our friends were cheering for us.

We were all having lunch discussing about the upcoming marriage of P'Tay and P'Em. When we were asked about marriage date. I told them as soon as I graduate. All of them laughed at my excitement and P'Kong hid his face. We all had fun. Later we went to our dorms. P'Kong came with me.. this day is the best in my life... We made love and slept happily.

I don't know what the future will hold for us... but all I want is to stay with my beloved people.
