The Journey Of Us

Chapter 31: Love Test

Mae Koy had been thinking a lot lately, and it wasn't just the usual motherly concerns. For the past few months, she had noticed a trend—fans kept asking about Lingling and Orm's future, particularly the prospect of marriage. Every interview, every Q&A session, someone would inevitably bring it up. And while Mae Koy loved both her daughter Orm and Lingling deeply, having watched them weather the storms of their relationship, she couldn't help but wonder herself: why hadn't Lingling proposed to Orm yet?

The two of them had been together for years, deeply in love and clearly devoted to one another. But the lack of formal commitment between them was beginning to frustrate Mae Koy. She had always believed in their bond, but something needed to push them toward taking that next step.

Mae Koy sighed as she sipped her tea, recalling all the ups and downs the couple had faced. From their early days of dating to Lingling's almost slip-up and Orm's battle with trauma, the two had overcome so much. Surely, after all of that, they were ready for a lifelong commitment? Yet, for some reason, Lingling hadn't taken that leap.

Unable to stand by any longer, Mae Koy decided to take matters into her own hands. She reached out to the Kwong family, requesting a meeting to discuss something important.

Mae Koy stood outside her own house, the residence of the Sethratanapong family. Today's meeting was important—she had been contemplating the future of Lingling and Orm's relationship and needed to address the lack of commitment she had been observing. As she entered the house, she was warmly greeted by Lingling's parents, who had been informed of the purpose of the visit.

Seated comfortably in the elegant living room, Mae Koy decided to dive straight into the matter. "I've noticed a recurring theme lately. Fans are always asking Lingling and Orm about their future together, especially about marriage. It's been coming up more and more, and honestly, I'm starting to wonder why Lingling hasn't proposed yet."

Mrs. Kwong, who had been listening attentively, nodded. "Yes, I've seen that too. Lingling and Orm are clearly in love, and they've faced so much together. It's obvious to everyone that they care deeply for each other."

Mae Koy sighed, her frustration evident. "Exactly. They've been together for years, and their love is undeniable. But despite their deep connection, Lingling hasn't taken the step to propose. It's concerning."

Mr. Kwong, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "Orm is still quite young, and Lingling tends to be cautious about major decisions. Perhaps they just need more time."

Mae Koy's expression softened slightly, but her resolve remained firm. "I understand that Orm is young, but Lingling isn't getting any younger either. They've been through so many challenges together. If they truly love each other, shouldn't they be ready to make a commitment?"

Mrs. Kwong leaned forward, curious about Mae Koy's thoughts. "What do you suggest we do about this? How can we address it without putting too much pressure on them?"

Mae Koy's eyes lit up with determination. "I think it's time to give them a gentle nudge. We need to encourage them to think about their future together. We can't force them into anything, but a little push might help them see that they're ready for the next step."

Mr. Kwong and Mrs. Kwong exchanged thoughtful glances. "What do you have in mind?" Mr. Kwong asked.

Mae Koy proceeded to outline her plan. It involved subtle hints and gentle encouragement, designed to help Lingling and Orm reflect on their future and consider taking the next step in their relationship. The plan was crafted to be supportive and considerate, ensuring that the couple felt guided rather than pressured.

As Mae Koy finished explaining her plan, the Kwongs nodded in agreement. They trusted Mae Koy's judgment and understood the importance of supporting their daughters in this significant step.
