"Honey!" How are you?" My mom says.
" I'm good and happy,mom." I said.
Jinah was behind me peeking his head.
" And,oh I want you to meet my.." I looked at Jinah and nodded his head and smile.
"I want you to meet my fiance,Jinah Park."
I introduced him to my mom and bowed."
"Fiance?!" My mom was shocked by what I've said. " Yes,mom. We have been together almost 3 months now." I said.
"Gi,you're not telling me that you are..gay?" Seen when?" Honey,you're joking?" She said, looking at me.
"No,mom, it's the truth. I know that dad didn't tell you." You're dad? You meet your dad?!" She said, bringing her hand in her chest.
" May I sit down first,this is too overwhelming to me." She sat down on the couch.
" Jinah, can you get some water in the faucet for mom,please?" I whispered to him and kissed his cheeks.
"Of-of course" he said blushing. Walking to the kitchen.
"Mom,are you okay?" I said.
Jinah came back with a glass of water and handed it to me. " Thank you,love."
He just smiled.
"Mom,here drink this." I gave her the glass of water. She drank it and gave me the glass.
" Th-thank you,honey." She said.
" Gi, tell me again,you're gay?" She ask again.
" Yes,mom. It's true. I'm really gay." I said to her. " What did your dad says?" She ask.
"At first he was shocked but he's not mad."
I said. " He's not mad?"
" Yes, he said that in their family, they also have gay siblings. I have inherited it but I know it's not." I said.
"When I know I'm gay when I met Jinah." I said holding his hands. His hands are cold.
I looked at him. " Your hands are cold?"
"I'm just nervous, that's all." He said smiling as his eyes became crescent moon."
"Okay." I said.
" Enough of that, what will the company do if they know about this,the staff,our workers?!" She said worriedly.
" Mom, they already knew about it and they are okay with it." They were glad that I told them about that." I said to her.
Then suddenly my dad popped up." Gi,nice to see you here. Visit your old folks." He said happily.
"Is this your man that your talking about?" He said looking at Jinah, head to toe smirking.
" Yes,dad." As I stood up and Jinah bowed to him. " No need to bow, I need a hug." He open his arms.
Jinah looked at me and I nodded. He softly smiled and went to hug my dad.
He smiled at my dad as he let go.
"Silvia,so finally you met Gi and his fiance." So what do you think,they looked like a lovely couple?" He said smiling.
She looked at me and Jinah. " Now tell me Jinah,what line of work do you do?" Stripper? Waiter in a strip club?huh?" Mocking Jinah.
"MOM! HOW DARE YOU! YOU EVEN KNOW THE GUY?!" I shouted to my mom. " Don't you raise your voice to me,young man?" She said angrily.
"It's okay,Gi. I know that she didn't like me but Madam,I'm a bartender at a cafe not in a strip club and I'm not a stripper,I'm a decent man." Jinah said in a calm tone.
" I'm sorry,mom but Jinah stays with me whether you like it or not. I will never ever leave him." He's my life, happiness and forever." I said, holding his hand tightly.
"So you decided without my consent,so be it. I didn't like him." She said not looking at us.
"That's fine with me mom,at least dad agrees with it." I said to her.
"Your dad agree with him?" She points at him." Yes,he gives his blessing." I said.
" Yes,dear. I've gave him my blessing. Why our son is happy and that's important,right?" Dad says.
" You,you gave your blessing to them?" Mom said angrily.
" Why,you're not the one our son is living his whole life?" Dad says.
"Our son is old enough to handle this. He knows that being with him makes his life better,beautiful and wonderful?" Dad says to my mom.
"I never see our son be happy when he is with him." Let our son decide what is good for them." Dad says.
" But… a man?" How can he be happy when..when he can't even bore a child?" My mom says.
" Surrogacy." I said. " What are you saying?" Mom said.
"A what? Surro..?" Mom said.
"Surrogacy means that a certain woman agrees to bear a child of another person."
"Is that legal here?" Mom and Dad says.
" In countries, they have these processes." I said. So you will have a granddaughter or son in months but we will talk soon." I said looking at Jinah.
"I don't know,son. It might be dangerous to the woman to carry your child? Dad says.
" They will test or examine her to know if she qualifies for that process."I said.
" I have some friends that did that. And they say it's okay unless the carrier agrees to the terms."
" Don't worry, mom,dad. We have to talk first about it."
"Mom,can we drop the conversation?" I must tell Dad about something."
" We do?" Dad asked.
" Yes,we do." My voice sternly.
" Jinah,love, can you take mom outside the patio?" I turn to Jinah.
Jinah widened his eyes. " She doesn't like me,Gi. What will I do to her?" Jinah whispered to me.
"Dad,let's go to your office." I called Dad.
"This way,son. Oh, Celeste, kindly maus coffee?" Dad says.
Their maid says.
As we went to my dad's office. We entered and locked the door.
"Dad,tell me something about your loan lending?" I said.
"How did you know…?" Dad asked.
" I have connections and your name pops up." I said.
" Well,you know that your mom never gave me a chance to handle the business you gave me." Dad says.
" So my friend says about this lending firm." He said.
"At first, it's good and people are good to me." But as time goes on, they're always calling me about the money I borrowed." He said.
" Why are they always calling you?" Did you miss any payment to them?" I asked.
" I never miss any payment to them." Except one time when they increased the interest of my last loan." He said.
" Do you have any contract that you sign in your name or you give a photocopy of your I.D.'s? I asked.
" I think I signed a contract." But it was my first loan to them." He said.
My second and last contract, I didn't sign."
"They think that I can't pay them that big so they targeted you."
