Pathum POV

Like scarlet said I might had to dig into my faith and see where it lands or else we are in trouble. But I don’t know I really wish that I know but I don’t know, I love her and that is more important but I understand I need to have some faith as well. So talking about jesus and god I always admire the good qualities of god, I might not believe god, but I did prayed for him when mom got sick I did , I don’t know whether I felt any power but I prayed for him, I tried to reach him, I don’t doubt scarlet , I never doubted her its just I don’t know what am I about. Maybe there is god or maybe there isnt any god . but does that really matter? Because I love her and I believe her, I pray for her and I pray for us, yes I might not have given my fullest faith but atleast I trust her and respect her. I allow god to be with us,I don’t deny her, I think that is the most important thing.

I hope that her mom will allow us to marry, I hope she will understand us, that our love is greater than whatever is around us, and that we are bound to be together. Forever . I believe that and scarlet believes that. Evenif her parents wouldn’t allow or be pleased with us, we can’t help but go against them. They will have to tame their egos to understand the reality in which me and scarlet sings.

So I was studying biology unit4, I really am not that better when it comes to the study of plants but I am trying because I have to pass this exam, and then get a scholarship to America and then meet her and marry her , that is my ultimate dream. Can I really do it? I have so many doubts.

Even this scholarship thing, I am aware it might be just not so true. Because I have never heard anyone passed A/LEVEL exam and directly got a foreign university scholarship, except that those who passed the exam gets access and qualified to study in an governmental university and then once that’s completed then get a foreign degree chance and accordingly if that’s how it is then we might have to spent around six years until I fly to AMerica. And six long years without her? Gosh that’s a nightmare. How can I be so sure their family wouldn’t take her away from me? Only god can help me here now. So i folded my hands and began praying.

Dear god, please help me to get a schorship after this exam outright, don’t make me stay away from her and even if I stayed please remember my word and protect her, all I ask you is protect her and keep her safe.

Scarlet was still in church while I focused on my studies. Mom came to my room and gave me my tea,it was nice, morning tea is the best.

“ how is she doing?’’ mom asked while taking some biscuits from the box. Biscuits box.

‘’ she is doing alright ‘’ I replied to her while taking a sip at my tea.

‘’ how is her studies?’’

‘’ its alright.’’

‘’ how is yours?’’

‘’ its alright too!’’

“What’s wrong?” she touched my hand and glared at my soul.

“Nothing.” I said. I cannot reveal anything to her just yet. I ought to keep her happy not sad.

“I know something’s bothering you, go ahead and tell me. You know you can tell me anything son” she rested her arms on my face and kept looking at me. I shook my head and told her is was nothing she need to worry. But she insisted and unfortunately I lost my temper and hurt her in the process.

“Just tell me what’s wrong?” she asked for the final time and I exploded at her.

“Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. For fuck’s sake nothing. Just leave me alone.”

She was dumbfounded. She stood there with tears in her eyes and slowly picked my cup and walked away but I jumped and grabbed her hand and hugged her outright.

“I am so sorry mother, I am so sorry. I never meant to say those words.”

“It’s alright! I will go, I will leave your business to you and not put my finger on it.”

“Mom don’t talk like that. Please I already lost one mom and I don’t want to loose the most important person in my life now.”

“The most important person? Huh? Sounds like that girl isnt that so right?” she wiped her tears thinking I was referring to Scarlet.

“Its you mom. Its you!”

It has always been you, the only difference now is that there’s a new member in that list.

“What about scarlet? My angel?” mom asked me, her tears slowly fading away and a smile crept on both of us. My heart sang a beautiful anthem when mom referred to my baby girl as her angel.

Her angel? How cute is my mom.

“Both of you are on that list.” I said in defence.

“What about your father?” she raised her brows.

“He’s on that list too.”

“Grandma?”

“She too!!” I smiled

“Now son, tell me what’s the problem?” she said cupping my facewith her hands, I let her sit beside me as I sought for courage. But my poor weak self fail do so.

“Uh..” I began scratching my head. She raised her brows and raised her hand gesturing me to continue. I tried but I couldn’t.

“It’s just… uhh.. Scarlet.” I forced to look at my feet unable to look mom in the eye.

“Son tell me what’s wrong? Did you fought with her just like you fight with me?” the moment she asked me I felt my feet got paralysed or numb. When she bring that topic that way it freaking hurts. I never fought mom intentionally. I never want to harm my mom. Never but to hell with my anger issues those noble desires all get abolished.

“No mother you know I love you why do you speak that way, you know I love you more than anything. I never wanted to hurt you it’s just my anger issues.”

She hugged me and kissed my forehead. It cooled my whole body and relaxed my nerves though my body still shivered. I always stutter and shiver when it’s about something important.

“She’s fine mother.”

“Then what’s the matter?”

“Uhh.. I don’t know how to explain.”

“You said something about loosing a mother, does that mean they are against your relationship?” Mom asked me and I shivered at her guess being perfectly right.

“How did you know?”

“I am your mother and I am not a ten year old, I know the intentions of people very well.”

“But why would they do that?”

“For love son.”

“But?”

“I don’t want to know how many are against your relationship I just want to know whether she is with you or not.” She asked me glaring at my face, stern and righteous in her state of mind. So without further I explained the state of scarlet.

“She’s with me.” I said sounding confident.

“End of conversation.”

“What?”

“She’s with you right? She will stand by your side evenif the world crumbles around you right?” I shook my head in approval.

“That’s all you need to know, so stop worrying, she’s going to stay with you all her life, so now study or else you would never get to touch that big butt of hers.”

Her Butt? How did mom know-

I mean how? Mom? Seriously!!

I looked away blushing. Why did mom has to bring the conversation with her butt? Whatever her butt has magic, I mean Scarlet’s. Everytime her butt comes into conversation I am blushing like a girl. It reminded me of that book I read of Eckhart tolle ‘the power of now.’ I rename that as ‘the power of scarlet’s butt.’ No other butt mattered to me but hers. Hers only. Hehe. i kinda think I am funny,

Poor you!

Shut up! Scarlet says I’m funny that’s enough

But your friends say the contrary don’t they?

Who give a f888k about them?!

Excuse my language. If Scarlet heard them she would burn me alive. Hehe.

Pathum : You wouldn’t believe what happened just now.

Scarlet : Omg! tell me tell me.

I told her everything from hurting mom due to anger and her words of wisdom about Scarlet and big butt of hers.

Scarlet : My question: how does she know I got a bug butt?

Pathum : bug butt? What in the booty is that?

Scarlet : Big butt? How does she know that?

Pathum : Cause she isn’t blind?

Scarlet : But how does she know that you are obsessed with mine?

Pathum : She never said that.

Scarlet : She didn’t but I did.

Pathum : I am not obsessed with your butt Scarlet.

Scarlet : Take a picture of that blushing face of yours, it will speak volumes about the truth.

Pathum : Gosh I feel so embarrassed.

Scarlet : The power of a butt.

Pathum : Scarlet’s butt, my baby girl’s.

Scarlet : ahem. I am so proud. *wink emoji*

Pathum : But anyway I AM NOT OBSESSED WITH YOUR BUTT OKAYYYYY?

Gosh is she roasting me? If so she can bake a bread from me cause I am bloody roasted right now.

Scarlet : Why not look in the mirror.

Pathum : And why would I need to do that?

Scarlet : To see your face.

Pathum : You are roasting me aren’t you?

Scarlet : Hehehe!

Pathum : Go away I hate you!

Scarlet : I love you!

Pathum : A lie! A cold blooded lie!

Scarlet : Huh? Seriously?

Pathum : Yes *angry emoji*

Scarlet : Aww sweetie why would you doubt my love?

Pathum : Because if you really love me then you would grant my dearest wish.

Scarlet : And that is?...

Pathum : My obsession.

Scarlet : Hmm… less demand, less attention.

Pathum : Seriously scarlet!!!!!! Please my goddess scarlet baker please grant me my wish.

Scarlet : First admit.

Pathum : Admit?

Scarlet : That you are obsessed with my booty!

Pathum : I already did. Didn’t I ma’am?

Scarlet : Gimme 5 minutes I will grant your wish.

Pathum : OMG ! Are you seriously gonna one? Woah!

Five minutes god she seriously gonna send her cake

Even Though she said she needed five minutes she took almost thrice the amount. I mean quality stuff do take time don’t they?

Really?

Scarlet : So… are you ready?

Pathum : Ma’am it’s been TWENTY MINUTES!

Scarlet: Sorry, something got stuck between my butt while taking them so yeah.

Seriously gosh !

She’s hella funny even without trying.

Pathum : Was it my boy? He can’t fly though so it can’t be him.

Scarlet : Dragons can indeed fly. So I think he just did.

Pathum : SCARLET BAKER YOU ARE BLOODY FUNNY AND THAT IS JUST AMAZING!

Scarlet : Hehe I hope you like them, sorry I had to take like a hundred before saving the best for you.

Pathum : Thank you so much! They are BLOODY AMAZING, without a question THE BEST BUTTT IN THE WORLD.

Scarlet : I didn’t even send the picture yet.

Pathum : You don’t have to, I know it’s the perfect cake!

Scarlet : Pathum!!!!!! CAKE? Language boy!

Pathum : Hehehe

And the next thing she did was granting my wish.

Goodness gracious!! She just freaking did not send it!

How the fuck is that human?! Freaking god!

Excuse me for my language, but something weird is happening to my body right now.

Would my words do a better justice or a picture?

I didn’t wait any longer, took one and outright surprised my lady.

Scarlet : PATHUM! WHAT IS THAT? DON’T TELL ME THAT IT’S YOUUURSSS

Pathum : You know the answer so well don’t you?! *smirk emoji*

Scarlet : You wouldn’t believe what’s happening to my body Pathum!

Pathum : Same here ma’am!!

Pathum : So tell me how’s the picture?.... Is it good or …..

Scarlet : My nipples got turned on just looking at your boy.

Pathum : Ahem..*coughs clears throat* My dragon! He deserve your respect ma’am.

Scarlet : Your precious dragon!!!

Pathum : Wait hold on…. You said your nip… get turned on? WHaaaattt? How ?

Scarlet : Ask your boy-... sorry ask your dragon the spell he puts on.

Pathum : So your booby got turned on just seeing the picture?

Scarlet : OH YES !!!

Pathum : What else got turned on? Your pancreas? Gosh if a picture does magic for both of us imagine the heat when we really met.

Scarlet : Can’t wait until that day comes true!
