One Year later
I stared at the wedding photo frame, of me and Porsche dressed in our traditional wedding attires, with Kim and Tankhun standing by our side.  We had taken many photos that day but this one stood out particularly for me. 
It could have been the timing when the photo was taken, the ecstatic laughter lines on Porsche's face, me holding him as if pulling him back to my side, Kim making a peace sign, dressed in a rare black suit, Tankhun looking glamorous in orange as usual with a pout on his mouth. He still feels jealous that I got the best man in the world. 
I and Porsche wore the suits my mom made for us for the reception afterwards, it was a beautiful occasion. Pa still wondered how we got those suits as it reminded him of a similar design he wore during his own wedding with mom. 
My mom would be proud. Though I had wanted her to be present at the wedding she refused politely saying she was not ready to meet the family yet. 
Mom sent me loads of wedding gifts. But none could match up to her presence. And that is why i chose today to go visit her. 
I was already dressed in a simple white shirt and trouser. Porsche opened the door to the room. 
"Kinn, everyone is ready. Big is waiting at the car."
"Okay. I just wanted to take this photo as a gift to mom. You think she would like it?" 
"Our wedding photo, she will like it."
"I'm not too good at wrapping gift, can you help me with this."
I stepped aside as Porsche carefully wrapped the photo with a white wrapping paper and placed it in the box. 
"Here. It looks good now."
"Do I look okay?" 
Porsche took one good look at me and nodded. He stretched coils of hair around my sideline. "Perfect."
"Tankhun and Kim have no idea where we're going right?" i asked. 
"Yes. I told Tankhun we're going shopping, and told Kim we're going to buy a guitar."
I laughed. "They will be shocked." 
We left the house and met Big at the front of my jeep. He got into the driver's seat and started the ignition. Kim took the passenger seat beside him while Porsche, Tankhun and I sat at the back seat.
Porsche and Tankhun began talking about the scary movie they had seen, while i checked on the business stocks with my phone.
"This is not the way to the guitar store." Kim said to Big. 
"I know."
"Wait, are you leaving town? P'Kinn where are we going?" 
I breathed. "I have to check on someone important, calm down."
"Important?" 
"Yes."
Kim nodded and relaxed. 
Big soon brought the car to a stop in front of a cozy house. We all dropped down and walked inside. 
I noticed the look on Kim and Tankhun faces. "Kinn whose house is this?" Tankhun sniffed the air. "Smells like home..."
Tankhun was right. Mom's house was home indeed. "Make yourselves comfortable. I will be right back."
I whispered to Porsche to watch the boys while I go get mom. 
I jogged up the stairs and opened the door to her  bedroom.
