Hey, how are you guys? It's been a while, eh?
It's been a tiring week for me. No, not with works, but with our future business plan. Yeah, we want to start a new business. But it's for another bed time story. I want to share what happen last Saturday.
My dearest K celebrated his 28 birthday last Friday. It was normal, no party. no surprises, no even birthday cake from me. Bad boyfriend, eh? LOL. But I did gave him two presents. I won't tell you though. As you may know, K has 3 sisters. Coincidentally, K and his two sisters have birthdays that close to each others'. To celebrate it together they planned to go to Bandung.
So, the whole family, but his oldest sister, went to Bandung last Saturday. And I came along. Yes! I did. K told me that his parents asked me to come. Whoa... not that I was nervous meeting K's family, I met his mom almost every week, but it was different. His sisters' husbands may have no idea who K really is. So this was like another came out for K. And for what I know, K's father was rather reluctant of accepting his son being gay. I am not saying that he wasn't good to me, he was super good to me. But deep in his heart, he must be trying so hard. So I think it was also K's parents' coming out, too. Though I was afraid meeting his whole family, but it wasn't only about me. His family reputation was at stake. If anything went wrong, it would be because of me, dating their son. Well, maybe I was over thinking, like always.
It turned out to be super awesome. I was having fun. I felt accepted by his whole family. We talked, we laughed our asses off, we ate a lot. I played with his nephew, I carried his niece on my arms. I was blessed to experience this. Something that I would never imagined before. I felt like I was family. I love his family. I love being around them.
On our way home to Jakarta, I looked at K while he was driving. That moment I was sure, not that I wasn't before, that this guy was the one I wanted to have family with, the one I wanted to grow old with. I was smiling when K caught me and asked, "Why are you staring at me?". I smiled and said, "Nothing".
