Part 9

Miss Mela: To better understand the current situation and relationships I'm going to give you a deeper background on the characters starting with our beautiful Freen. 🥰

Saint and Charunee Chankimha have been together for 37 years. Charunee was born into the royal family and married Saint, who at that time had the last name Udomkaewkanjana and owned a company. I know... the last name is long as hell. 😅 Charunee called him Saint Udom before they married. Saint's family had built the biggest shopping center in Thailand. By the time he was 18, he had built the company Jana which is basically Uber. The Chankimhas started noticing him on TV interviews and decided he would be the perfect candidate to marry Charunee.

Soon after they got married Charunee realized Saint was different from every other man she had met which made her question a lot of things.

Charunee: Can we talk, honey? She was leaning against the doorframe as Saint was shaving his nonexistent beard.

Saint: Of course, love. Is everything okay?

Charunee: I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it. He nodded. Why haven't we had sex?! Saint winced when he nicked his jaw a little bit with the razor. She walked towards him and placed a towel under warm water dabbing the spot where the cut was. Am I not attractive? Saint grabbed her hands and kissed them.

Saint: It's not that. There's something I need you to know, and I hope you don't hate me. 😬He led her to the bed, and they sat down next to each other.

Charunee: Hate you? Why would I...?

Saint: I'm gay! 🏳️‍🌈

Charunee: Gay as in you like men? He nodded. She breathed out and laughed. I knew there was something different about you. No man is ever that interested in what a woman wears and what accessories to use.

Saint: I'm surprised you didn't notice just by that. He caressed her cheek. I'm sorry if this complicates things. My family knows, but they hoped my tendencies would go away once I married the right woman.

Charunee: Well, you did and this will be our little secret. I never really saw myself as a one-man kind of woman. They hugged and shared a laugh. Just one little thing. He raised an eyebrow. Knowing my mother, she will start asking about children soon, so we need to think of something.

Saint: Hmm I heard about this thing called artificial insemination. We could try that. It's the conception of a baby without actually having sex.

Charunee: We should start trying then. I'll do some research on all the clinics that are providing those services, and we'll get some tests done to make sure it's possible.

At the time artificial insemination was just starting in the world and after trying for almost two years Charunee and her family were growing desperate. It took much convincing and a lot of alcohol before Saint and Charunee decided to have sex and hoped that worked. 🤞 If it didn't, they would start looking into other donors.

Two weeks later Charunee started having symptoms. They went to three doctors to confirm that she indeed was pregnant. Nine months later, Freen was born. Both families couldn't have been happier. Freen became their world. Anything she wanted to have, she got without hesitation.

When Freen was 8 years old, she met Song at one of her pool parties. Ever since that day, they became inseparable in a way that Saint knew all too well. Freen's world revolved around Song. Whatever she said was the law and no one could go against it. Charunee didn't understand how her daughter had changed so quickly. She became distant with them. Saint spent years warning Charunee about what could be going on, but she refused to believe it until one day she saw Freen kissing a poster of Christina Aguilera. 🏳️‍🌈 Another one... She went into the kitchen while Saint was having his morning coffee and reading the newspaper.
