BONUS CHAPTER - PONG'S BIRTHDAY

 A Birthday to Remember

Tong had been planning Pong's birthday for weeks, wanting to make this year extra special. He knew how hard Pong worked and how much he sacrificed for their family. This celebration was not just about marking another year but about appreciating and honoring the man he loved so deeply.

The day started with the sun shining brightly through the curtains of their bedroom. Tong woke up early, careful not to disturb Pong. He tiptoed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. He had a full day planned, but first, he wanted to surprise Pong with breakfast in bed.

Tong prepared Pong's favorite breakfast: fluffy pancakes with fresh berries, whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup. He added a side of crispy bacon and poured a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. As he worked, he felt a mix of excitement and anticipation. Today was going to be perfect.

Carrying the tray carefully, Tong made his way back upstairs. He gently nudged Pong awake, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Happy birthday, love," he whispered.

Pong blinked awake, his eyes lighting up with surprise and delight as he saw the breakfast spread before him. "Tong, you didn't have to do all this," he said, sitting up and taking in the delicious sight.

Tong smiled, placing the tray on the bed. "Of course, I did. It's your special day. And I have a lot more planned, so eat up."

Pong chuckled, pulling Tong into a quick kiss before diving into his breakfast. They chatted and laughed, the love and comfort of their relationship evident in every word and gesture. After breakfast, Tong took the tray away and told Pong to get dressed, hinting at the day's adventures.

Their first stop was a luxury spa, where Tong had booked a couple's massage. The serene environment, soothing music, and skilled masseuses made it the perfect way to start the day. As they lay side by side, Pong reached out and held Tong's hand, their fingers interlocking. "This is amazing, Tong. Thank you."

Tong squeezed his hand gently. "You deserve it, Pong. Just relax and enjoy."

After the spa, Tong drove them to a quaint little café by the beach. It was a favorite spot of theirs, known for its delectable pastries and stunning ocean views. They enjoyed a leisurely lunch, reminiscing about past birthdays and the many memories they had created together.

With the afternoon sun high in the sky, Tong led Pong down a path that opened up to a private section of the beach. A beautifully decorated gazebo stood there, adorned with flowers and fairy lights, a soft blanket laid out with cushions and a picnic basket.

Pong's eyes widened in awe. "Tong, this is incredible. When did you do all this?"

Tong smiled, pleased with Pong's reaction. "I had a little help from Rak and Mai. They wanted to make sure today was perfect for you."

They spent the afternoon on the beach, talking, laughing, and enjoying the serenity of the ocean. Pong was deeply touched by the effort Tong had put into making his birthday so special. As the sun began to set, they sat together, watching the sky turn shades of pink and orange.

"Thank you, Tong," Pong said, his voice filled with emotion. "This has been the best birthday I could have ever imagined."

Tong leaned in, kissing him softly. "It's not over yet. I have one more surprise for you."

As the last light of the day faded, they packed up and headed home. When they walked through the door, the house was dark, but as they stepped into the living room, the lights flickered on, and a chorus of voices shouted, "Surprise!"

Their friends and family were gathered, the room decorated with streamers and balloons Rak and Mai ran up to Pong, hugging him tightly. "Happy birthday, Daddy!"

Pong was overwhelmed with joy, his eyes shining with tears. "You guys did all this?"

Rak nodded, grinning. "It was Daddy's idea. We all pitched in."

The evening was filled with laughter, music, and delicious food. Tong had arranged for a live band to play Pong's favorite songs, and the dance floor was soon filled with their loved ones. Mai had even prepared a special birthday song that she performed with Rak, their voices blending beautifully.

As the night went on, Tong took a moment to stand back and watch the scene. Pong was surrounded by friends and family, his face lit up with happiness. It was a sight that warmed Tong's heart, knowing that he had made this day truly special for the man he loved.

Later, as the party began to wind down, Tong led Pong out to the garden where a small table was set up with a bottle of champagne and two glasses. They sat down, clinking their glasses together.

"Here's to you, Pong," Tong said softly. "To another year of love, happiness, and countless memories."

Pong smiled, his eyes filled with love. "And here's to you, Tong. For making every day brighter and every moment special. I love you more than words can say."

They sat there, under the stars, sipping champagne and talking about their dreams and plans for the future. The love they shared was a beacon, guiding them through life's ups and downs, and tonight, it felt stronger than ever.

As they finished their drinks, Pong took Tong's hand and kissed it gently. "This has been the best birthday ever, Tong. Thank you for everything."

Tong smiled, leaning in for a tender kiss. "You're welcome, Pong. I love you, and I always will."

They stayed in the garden, wrapped in each other's arms, savoring the peace and joy of the moment. It was a perfect end to a perfect day, a celebration of love and life that they would cherish forever.
