Chapter 268: Our 4 Months Together Part VI
“Hello, Uncle Tep. Thank you for still lowering yourself to hang out with my dad until today.”
“Come on. It’s nothing, Son. I just hang with him to kill some time, thinking that I’m playing with a dog.” That man agreed smilingly.
“Huh, playing with a dog your dad, Tep!”
Wisana did not mind his father. He just chose to turn to the other man who was the best dressed in the room. His short hair was set to be clean and neat, fitting with his smiling face and a pair of round glasses, looking like a full version of a businessman.
“Hello, Uncle Santi. You can still be friends with Dad?”
“Oh, Hi, kid. Yeah, it’s not like I want to, though. It can’t be helped since he will cry when he’s left alone.”
“Oh, that’s very generous of you, Ti.”
And for the father of Wisana, he looked like a common middle-aged man who was dressed more casually than the others. He was not wearing a tie, and two of his collar buttons were even unbuttoned. His black hair was shoulder-length long and was tied in a tight ponytail on the back of his head, fitting with his aged face that looked good in a mature way. He also had a black beard around his mouth, making him look imposing.
So, this was Mawin, the father that made Wisana born into this world!
“Hey, you keep greeting only the others. What about me?”
“Hey, Dad.” Wisana waved, deadpan.
“Hey, grudgingly greeting like that is unacceptable. Do you love this dad at all?!”
“Checkmate.”
“Huh? Ti, did you just cheat? Your horse wasn’t here a while ago. Where did it come from?”
Mawin seemed to be throwing a tantrum in every direction. Seeing that, Wisana rolled his eyes tiredly. Obviously, everyone in this room seemed to get used to this kind of behavior of the consultant already. Because if they were not, Uncle Tep and Uncle Ti would not burst out a loud laugh like they were now.
“He’s just a goofy old man, see?”
“Na!”
Maysa scolded him softly because she was afraid that Uncle Mawin would hear them gossiping about him from such a close distance like this. At the same time, Mawin looked back at them. After that he narrowed his eyes as he tossed a piece of chess on the board with a loud bang, gasping.
“Anyway, who’s that girl Na brought with him here? She’s been watching us being nonsense and she gets all confused now, look.”
Sutep said with a chuckle, while Mawin was slowly getting up and walking towards Wisana with a little shocked face. The father glared at the same-colored eyes of Wisana for a moment.
“This young lady is?”
“Maysa, my girlfriend.” The other one grudgingly introduced her with a plain voice.
After hearing that, the older one looked straight into those light grey eyes with a face that was hard to read his emotion. He was perceiving every inch of her more thoroughly than a scanner, even. However, that was not like examining looking, but it was more like “feeling amazed” looking.
Maysa started to get awkward after getting stared at by those eyes. And he was even making a weird sound from his throat, too. In the meantime, Sutep and Santi turned to catch eyes with each other as they smiled wryly, while Wisana rolled his eyes up at the ceiling, looking all fed up.
“Er, ...Hi, Uncle. I’m Maysa.” She greeted him nervously.
“How old are you?” Mavin asked.
“Eh? ...I’m 18.”
“You go to the same university as this guy, right?”
“Yes.” Maysa nodded smilingly.
“How did you meet this cheeky one?”
She glanced at her lover for a second.
“...Er, ...well,”
“How tall are you?”
“Yes?” Maysa raised her eyebrows because his question started getting way far out of the topic now.
“Has someone ever told you that you could be our company’s model so easily? Now, may I measure your height a bit?”
GRABB!!
“Stop right there, Dad. You’re being too much now, and out of the topic as well.”
After seeing his father was actually about to approach and measure his bride-to-be’s figure, the son barely stopped the dad in time. Wisana pushed Dad’s forehead harshly, knocking him away from Maysa for a meter.
“Hey, don’t act like that, Na. Your girlfriend is like my daughter as well. I can do anything.”
“Anything you dad. Don’t be ridiculous.”
Wisana snapped back in a combo. He knew from the start that his dad would act embarrassingly like this. He was his son. Why would he not know how much his father was flirtatious and sneaky?
Even though he had prepared himself for this, he still could not help to feel itchy on his hands in the urge to hit someone!
And what all dad’s friends ever did was tear up from laughing!
“Na, this habit of Mawin can’t be healed ever. He even flirted with the CEO’s secretary a couple of days ago. being right in front of his father-in-law’s eyes wouldn’t stop him.”
“Why do you have to roast me in front of my child like this, Tep?”
“Why not? Did I lie though?” Mister Santi slipped out a chuckle.
Being in this kind of situation, an outsider like Maysa could only gasp in shock. She got so anxious when those eyes were staring at her. But it turned out, those eyes were implying that he was going to flirt with her?
His son’s girlfriend?!
A-HEM!!
Mawin coughed out loudly like he was getting his mature image back.
“I’m sorry about that, May. I wasn’t myself.” He said with a faked prudent voice, “Let’s have a seat on the chair over there. I have so many things to talk to you about.”
That was not just saying, but the father also put his arm around Maysa’s shoulders as they walked, leaving his favorite son there.
“Hey, hey, don’t be sneaky, Dad.”
“Sneaky how? I’m just leading her to her seat. You really got this over-possessive habit from your mother. If you are like this too often, she’ll lose it someday, you know.”
Getting hooked by this line, the son was speechless. He could only look at that wry smile that Maysa sent him. After that, he grudgingly followed to sit on the sofa there, right next to the flirty old man named Mawin, of course!
Wisana clicked his tongue, as he stomped his feet to sit down with them.
“I’m so glad that I finally met you, May.” Mawin started the conversation with a serious face.
“Yeah, ...I’m glad to meet you, too, Uncle.”
“YIKES! Call me Dad. Uncle sounds so distant somehow. We’ll be a family soon anyway, right?”
He said and picked Maysa’s hand up as she exclaimed softly. But it did not take long before Wisana’s long hand hit his father’s hand with a loud snap, before pulling her hands to hold them by himself instead as he was firing gazing at his dad like a kid being possessive over a toy.
“You’re such a joy killer.” The father spoke softly.
“You’re an old sack of lust.” The son did not hit back any less harshly.
Watching the dad and the son insulting each other, the others in the room could only try holding in their laughter so hard that they started shaking silently.
“I’m really happy for you that you have such a sweet girlfriend, Na,” Santi said with a smile as he took a sip of his tea. “Anyway, This May is the same person as Vincent’s buddy in the Pride game, right?”
“You know about this as well? I didn’t know you were interested in the game’s news as well.”
“I work in the marketing department, Son. I have to know about all of the news from the game to update the sell contents for the game. The first time she walked into the room, I was surprised, because I thought she was a celebrity or something. But after I knew that she was your girlfriend, I was surprised even more. Didn’t you two say in that game that you weren’t dating?”
