As Phuwin’s plane touched down in Thailand, the familiar sense of excitement and anticipation enveloped him, even though it was well past midnight. He had specifically chosen a late-night flight to surprise his family. The bustling airport was quieter now, with fewer people around. After retrieving his luggage, he made his way to the arrivals area, where his family’s long-time driver, whom he fondly referred to as “Nana” was waiting.

Phuwin’s eyes lit up when he spotted the familiar face. He approached with a warm smile, his heart swelling with joy at the sight of someone who had been like a second family to him. “Nana, it’s so good to see you again!” he greeted, his voice full of affection.

Uncle’s face broke into a smile as he nodded, his eyes reflecting both pride and warmth. “Ah, Phuwin, you’ve grown so much!

Phuwin chuckled softly, feeling a wave of nostalgia. “I guess time flies. It’s great to be back. Thank you for coming out so late.”

With a nod, Uncle helped him with the luggage, and they made their way to the car. As they drove through the quiet streets, Phuwin’s thoughts were consumed with the idea of seeing his family’s surprised faces. The roads were familiar yet seemed to hold a new kind of magic as he neared home.

Arriving at his family’s residence, Phuwin quietly slipped out of the car and motioned for Uncle to keep the luggage inside the vehicle for now. He wanted the element of surprise to be perfect. The house was cloaked in darkness, a soft glow from the moon illuminating the serene, well-kept garden.

Phuwin tiptoed through the front door, careful not to make any noise. The silence was soothing, broken only by the soft hum of the air conditioning. His footsteps were light as he made his way to his room. Entering his bedroom, he paused to take in the sight. The room was immaculately clean and well-organized, as if waiting for his return. A smile touched his lips as he thought of his papa’s meticulous care.

“It’s exactly as I left it,” Phuwin mused quietly to himself, feeling a deep sense of gratitude. He could imagine his papa's love and effort in every detail of the room.

He set his phone’s alarm for 6 a.m., determined to prepare breakfast for his family as part of his surprise. The thought of their delighted reactions filled him with warmth and anticipation. After setting the alarm, he sank into the soft comfort of his bed, the exhaustion of the journey catching up with him. Despite his excitement, he was finally able to relax, letting the fatigue of the long flight melt away.

As he closed his eyes, Phuwin felt a deep sense of contentment. The thrill of the surprise, combined with the comfort of being home, made every bit of the journey worthwhile. He could hardly wait for the morning, knowing that the joy on his family’s faces would make all his efforts worth it.
