PART 70

Another day dawned, bright and promising. Nani and Sky returned to the bustling mansion, a hive of activity. Bright was back, lounging with his girlfriend, Nene.  Their usual circle of friends – Force, Book, Off, Gun, Tay, New, Mark, Ohm, Nanon, William, Est, AJ, JJ, and a host of other GMMTV actors – filled the spacious rooms with laughter and chatter.  It was Win's birthday. "Hi guys!" Nani called out cheerfully, waving to the assembled group. Tay, ever the mischievous one, greeted them with a playful smirk. "Well, look who it is… my son and my son-in-law!" he announced to the room, his voice booming with mock authority. Tay clapped Sky on the back. "You're really handsome and tall, Sky. Like father, like son! Hahahahaha!"

Sky, unfazed, approached Tay, slipping an arm around his shoulder. "Hehe, of course! Uh by the way happy birthday, Win," Sky said, his voice warm and affectionate.

"Thanks Sky!"

Nani shook hands with Win, offering his birthday wishes. Win returned the gesture with a broad smile, while Dew, ever watchful, stood quietly beside him. "Happy birthday, bro," Nani said sincerely. Nani, ever mindful of Win's sometimes sensitive nature, added, "Dew, please look after him, okay? Make sure he doesn't get too emotional." Dew nodded, a reassuring smile playing on his lips. "Understood."
