[Raw Chap]

*Fourth's POV*

" Papa!!! Hurry!! We're almost late!"

Hi, this is Fourth by the way and that kid shouting, is Raiwin. One of my triplets. Yes that Alpha left me not only with twenty five thousand baht and a pair of clothes but also extra baggage.

Not just one but three.

My three handsome Alphas.

"I'm so sorry my munchkins. 2 more minutes please. I'm almost done."

Yes after that night, I tried to keep moving on with life. Using that money I've earned, I was able to have my mom treated. The operation was successful and she's still with us until now. She could no longer work though. Then a few weeks after that, I discovered that I was impregnated by him. At that time, I was so afraid to tell mom because of the obvious reason but eventually she found out about my condition so I told her the truth then. We were crying so hard that day but instead of scolding me. Mom kissed me non-stop while saying sorry.

She's blaming herself for the way I'd become but I assured her that if given another chance, I would still do the same thing if it is the only way to keep her alive.

I stopped attending school when I found out that I was pregnant to avoid the gossip of our neighbors. Mom and I decided to move to Pattaya right after she received her early retirement to start a new life where no one knows us.

There's still some talk about me being pregnant and unmated but we just ignored it.

I conceived my children alone for nine months and those are the hardest times of my life.

I've been through a lot even after my pregnancy. I'm struggling here and there just to get as many part time jobs as possible to buy my kid's diapers and milk formula.

Luckily, I met my co-owner of Veggies & Yums, Mark Pakin. That was 2 years after my pregnancy and we became best buddies. He tried to pursue me actually but I made it clear to him that I am not into being in a relationship. He was very persistent though even if he'll get rejected by me all the time. Good thing that he was able to meet his mate now.

He offered me a job at his restaurant. I became one of their cooks for almost 5 years. Mark's omega is very humble as well. In fact, Khun Ford often asks me to bring my children to the restaurant so that he can play with them. They were not blessed by a child because of Ford getting sick that made him infertile so he really loved being with kids.

When I had enough funds to start my business, I quit my job, moved back to Bangkok and established Veggies and Yums. It was just a small food stall at first but luckily the students from nearby schools loved my meals. My business boomed fruitfully until I was able to renovate my place into an actual resto. Upon hearing that I was able to start my own business, Mark offered to merge our food businesses and since he was my friend, I accepted the offer. Now we already have four branches all over Bangkok and 3 there in Pattaya. Sometimes every summer vacation, Mark and Ford are visiting us here just to see the triplets.

In the end, all of those hardships were like bubbles in the air right after I saw my kids. They are my life now and there's nothing I can't do for them.

"Papa!! Don't call us that anymore! We're already eleven." Speaking of the devils.

"Okay khrup. Hmmp...you maybe big boys now but remember, I am the one who put baby powder on your peewees back then!" I playfully said to tease them.

"Papa!!! Stop." They said in unison while trying to cover my mouth.

The three of them are very hyped in their very own way. It's like they are in a sugar rush all day if they have enough sleep or if they're in their comfort zones. Especially Raiwin. He is the first born. He's the sporty one among the three of them. He likes to be outside with his peers in the village instead of staying at home. Opposite of Shaun who is the nerdy type. He likes to read books about advanced science and mathematics. He's the clingy one too. He's always seeking attention like hugs or kisses. Sometimes I can't help it but think that he's an Omega in an Alpha's body. Lastly, is Araun. He is the musician in the family. He likes to play instruments especially guitar. He even composed a song for me once last father's day.

When it comes to their personalities, Raiwin is the bubbly one and the happy go lucky. Shaun on the other hand is the one who's always calm regardless of the situation. While Araun is the overprotective one.

For the looks, it's a mix actually but the bottom line is, my kids are all good looking. Maybe because their father is very handsome too. I can still remember that face.

Anyway, among all of these differences, they actually have something in common. All three of them dislike vegetables. Root crops, beans, nuts, and leaves you name it. They dislike it so much. I'm really having a hard time convincing them to eat veggies each time I cook them but when it comes to meat, they can eat it all day. One more thing, they're very possessive of me too. I remember once, there's this one guy who tried to woo me. He's a beta and is good looking actually but when I tried to introduce the three of them to him, they asked a lot of questions like financial status, how many past relationships the guy had before me, his preferences and a lot more! Then the night after, they told me that they do not approve of the guy. I was like, am I still the parent here? No seriously, they really sounded like a dad who does not approve of a man for his daughter. So, I frankly denied the guy then. Truth be told, I don't want to be in a full time relationship at that time.

"Okay I'll stop. Now get your bags downstairs and wait for me in the car."

"On it!" All three of them replied before they kissed my cheeks goodbye.

Today is the last day of the Campus Intramurals at Harrow International School and each of them has a final event to attend to. Raiwin is competing in soccer, Shaun is in chess and crosswords, and Araun is with the music fest.

So, since my babies are so competitive, that I am sure they got it from their father because I'm dumb and talentless at school before, I decided to take a leave from my resto for today.

After making sure that everything they needed is all inside the bags I'm carrying, I followed them to the car.

"Mae, we're going now!" I shouted at mom. She is at the sink washing the dishes.

"Okay baby. Make sure to save me some pictures okay."

"I will." I said before I kissed her lips and went out of the door.

The three of them are already settled inside my Avanza when I arrive at the garage.

They immediately get out of the car to help me with all of the bags I'm carrying which are mostly their protein drinks, towels, extra clothes, sports uniforms, costumes and toiletries.

I was so touched by the actions of my gentlemen that I said 'aw...my munchkins' to them. Earning me three criminal offensive side-eyes all at once.

"Oi...alright..thank you so much, my boys. Happy?"

"Much better." Again they replied in unison while chuckling as they put the bags in the back seat.

Oi...sometimes my energy is all drained just by talking to the three of them.

It's a 15 minute drive from our house to school so we still arrive on time before the program starts.

"Alright boys, I will be on the benches to take pictures of you. Good luck and remember, win or lose, I'm always proud. Su su!!"

"Thank you papa." / "Thanks Paps" / "Got it Papa."

The three answered back so I ruffled their hair before we got out of the car together.

Girl..the Jirochtikul brothers are here. Even their handsome papa came with them.

Ghawd..my husbands.

Oh my god, they're so good looking but Raiwin is mine.

Shaun please be my baby. I'm willing to become your mate.

Gosh gurl..that is so unlady like...WAHHH!!! ARAUN I'M READY TO MARRY YOU IN ANY TEMPLE YOU LIKE. RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!

My sons could only scratch their napes because of the attention they're getting from their school mates while here I am giggling at their backs like crazy as they walk into their designated events. This scene is already normal to me ever since they're still in grade school.

They're indeed Alphas. Most of the omegas and betas here are swooned by their alpha features even though they're not that matured yet.

Moving aside, the first event to commence is soccer so I immediately look for a place to sit on the benches nearby. I need to be visible to Raiwin when he starts playing.

I was checking if my Digicam is working perfectly while walking when I accidentally collided with someone followed by a grunt. However what made my eyes widened in horror was when I saw the screen my newly bought Samsung camera shattered before me as it lay on the ground with the other things like phone, purse, lipsticks, wet wipes, and many others.

I guiltily look at the person I bumped with as I kneeled down to pick up her things. She's actually a middle aged woman. Preferably around her late 40's. Actually I was stunned by how sophisticated she was. Like a dead ass rich person but her smile is so genuine that you can't feel intimidated just by looking at her. Judging by her appearance, she's an Alpha female.

"I am so sorry ma'am. I wasn't looking at my way."

"It's alright khun luk, I was talking to my son on the phone too. I was not able to notice you coming. I'm worried about your camera though. I apologize."

"Here. It's alright ma'am. It was an accident and I do have my part as well so I can't really blame you for it." I said as I handed her things over with my free hand hence I'm using the other in holding my camera.

"No it's not okay with me Khun....."

"Ah..you can call me Fourth."

"Nice to meet you Khun Fourth. As I was saying, it's not okay with me. It's my fault also. I just can't let it slide. Just by looking at your camera it was newly purchased." She said as she pats my shoulder. "Anyway, you can call me Aunt Ning. Are you here for your siblings?"

"Erm..no khrup. My children actually."

"Alai wa? You do have kids already?" She exasperatedly asked as if she could not believe it but then her eyes widened upon realizing what she had said. "Oh no don't get me wrong Khun. You look so young that I thought you were just a university student."

"It's alright Auntie, I do get that a lot but I'm 28 now and yes I have triplets actually." I said while chuckling in between my words. She looked even more shocked when I revealed my age to her.

"I see, I bet you have that camera with you to take pictures of them do you? I'm sorry for that but as much as I want to settle for it now, I am really in a hurry. Here, take my business card. Please call me whenever you're free. We'll talk about it over the phone. Oh mind if I take yours as well?"

"It's okay auntie. I still have my phone with me.There's no-"

"Please Nong. I insist."

She interrupted me with a guilty look on her beautiful face. I was about to still decline her but when she said 'please' to me again, I just gave up and from there, we exchanged business cards. She then left me right away. I bet she has an important meeting or event to attend to.

I stared at the business card she gave me. Ning Keeratii Thiticharoenrak of Thantawan Air & Shipping Corp. Wait, that company seems familiar...wait, I saw this once on TV. Holy guacamole! That's the biggest airline and shipping company in Thailand!!! She's indeed dead ass rich.

Oh shit..what on earth did I bumb into her today? Pssh..good thing that I did not get into her bad side. I wonder if she had one though, she looks genuine to me. Why is she here though? A tycoon like her isn't likely to be seen in a place like this.

Good day Harrows, we are about to begin the first event here in the sports dome.

Oops I almost forgot about my sons. Putting this current event at the back of my head, I went inside the school's sports dome to do what I came here for.

That day went by and I came home with 2 golds, 1 silver, and a championship trophy. Raiwin's team went first place in soccer, Shaun claimed the 1st place as well in chess, and 2nd place in crosswords, and lastly, my future lead singer and guitarist, Araun and his band took the 1st place as well in the music fest.

We celebrate their wins the next day by having a simple picnic at a resort near the city, since they went to each of their respective team's after party that afternoon.

Today, I am back to being a restaurant owner. It's almost 8 in the morning when I arrive at the main branch of Veggies & Yums. My staff is already busy preparing the restaurant before we open at 9:30. I was greeted by them good morning which I replied enthusiastically with a smile because I believe that whatever your mood the first thing in the morning will define the rest throughout the day. That's why I always make sure that they always get positive energy from me every time I arrive at the resto.

I am personally managing my main branch in bangkok by the way while I hire managers for the other three. Most of the time, if I don't have a lot of paperwork to sign into or a meeting with Mark for auditing, I am found in the kitchen helping for orders instead in my office.

"Good morning Sir."

It's Winny. He's my secretary.

"Morning Win. Any schedule for today?" I went directly to my desk right after I entered my office. As I sip my coffee that is already there each time I arrive.

"Not that much Sir. We just have some deliveries of stocks later and then you have a meeting with Mister Metawin Chivaree for the final talk about the order of pastries that we had with them for the restaurant's anniversary party next month." Winny enumerates the thing that I will be doing today as he handed over a pile of paperwork that I need to sign. "Oh before I forgot, a secretary of a certain Gemini Norawit Titicharoenrak from Thantawan Air and Shipping Corp made an appointment with you at 3 PM sir."

My hand immediately stopped from signing an order slip when I heard the company's name. It's been three days now since that day that I bumped with Aunt Ning and to tell you honestly, I almost forgot about it until today.

"Any conflict with that?"

"None at all Sir. Actually, your schedule is free starting at 1 PM onwards so I just put them in. Anything else Sir?"

"No Win. Thank you."

"My pleasure." And with that, Win went outside since his desk is in front of my office.

The day went by just like any other day we had. Lots of customers coming in, a bunch of orders coming through, so on and so forth.

I took my lunch together with other staff who are on break at 12 then resumed working by 1 PM.

Just as I was about to sit on my chair, I received a forwarded call from Winny.

"Sir I have someone looking for you on the other line. She said that you know her and is asking if she can talk to you directly."

"Name?"

"She just said she's your Aunt Ning."

What? She really is serious about compensating my damaged camera. Is she?

"Yeah I know her. Transfer her over. Thank you."

"Okay Sir. On it"

The line went on hold for a sec before it was connected again.

"Good afternoon Aunt Ning. This is Fourth speaking."

"Good afternoon as well Khun Fourth. I'm sorry for meddle into your schedule today but I just want to tell you personally that I will not be able meet you at three. It was actually me who asked my son's personal assistant to set a schedule with you but I had an unannounced visit from a relative today so I can't come over but my son Gemini will be the one to meet up with you instead."

"Oh It's alright Aunt Ning. Besides, I'm already free today until EOD (end of day) so it's fine. Anyway, I am actually feeling guilty instead of you making such an effort. You can just let it slide Aunt Ning. I can just buy a new camera. Don't worry"

"Oi...we already talked about this. Please don't deny this old lady's request. Na?" She playfully said on the other line which made me laugh so hard.

"Oi..you are far from being an old lady as far as I can remember Aunt Ning."

"Oi...such a sweet talker. Alright I will not take too much of your time now. My son's PA will just inform yours for the venue. Bye now Nong Fotfot."

I just shake my head as I chuckled in embarrassment because of the nickname she made for me. Is this really the owner of one of the biggest companies in Thailand? She's awesome.

"Alright..bye Aunt Ning."

Well, that was a good talk. Better yet, I'll just prepare myself then. It's already 1:15. I'll just leave the rest to Winny today and I'll just go home straight after this meeting with Khun Gemini.

----------------End of Chapter 1----------------

A/N: What can you say about the first chapter guys?

Anyway I would like to apologize if I mixed up some of the honorifics but I'll try to be as thorough as I can be.
