Memories under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Ch 26 Tight schedules and some news...

Kong returned back to university the next morning..Rome, Wad and Em didn't ask him any questions. Classes were on, full swing and so was his rehearsal schedule for the moon contest...

His seniors were onto him squeezing his last bits of energy each day as they perfected his walk and posture..in between he practiced his piano recital putting his every effort to make it perfect. He wanted to give Arthit a pleasant surprise and see his expression when he heard the song..

His dance with Prae was presentable, he didn't step on her toes anymore and could guide her around the hall in tune to the music..even P'Baifern was stunned at his grace...

In-between this hectic schedule he had no time to meet the seniors and Arthit. Not even a chance encounter.. he thought about how close they had gotten the last time they were together and felt butterflies in his stomach..he wondered what would have happened if the hospital hadn't called..

Arthit had spoken to him after he came back from home. It had been a brief call, with Kong assuring Arthit that he was ok and Arthit promising to let him know if he found any further information..Kong had found out from Arthit that the lady's name was Kanya Ruangroj, and tat it had been noted by Arthit himself, so no chance of a mistake happening there..

His thoughts often lingered over the initials K.S, the handkerchief had been with his mother,was it hers or could it have belonged to anyone else?? Who was his father? Why hadn't he come to look for him after his mother's death? So many questions but he couldn't find the answer for any of them.. which left him frustrated..

Meanwhile Arthit's life...

Arthit was busy himself with no time to meet Kong. His exams were going on and after tat they had hospital shifts alternating day and night..Baifern had called him to let him know tat Kong had picked up the dance moves and was amazing on the floor..she even asked him how he had managed to do it in a week's time..Arthit was happy hearing tat. The days they had practised had been the best of his time with Kong..

Arthit's peace was short lived as Namtarn started appearing in the pretext of meeting him. She showed up at his classes and at the hospital whenever he had some free time, with a bag of snacks and a drink..it was starting to irritate him...he had tried telling her he was busy..but she said she was just there to see him and he could continue with his work, but he couldn't study or even talk to his frens with her breathing down his neck.. Namtarn knew he wouldn't create a scene in public and so her plan to show up at these places was perfect for her to spend time with Arthit without him showing his anger openly..

Though Arthit changed his schedule multiple times she turned up in the right place at the right time..how she got hold of his schedule was a mystery to him.

The information he had been seeking turned up one day, as he got a call from his trusted person.

" Ai ' Arthit how are you doing?"

" Not good at all P'.. So did you find out any information about tat person?? ".

" Why ? Can't stand her presence for even a week ?" The voice chuckled at the other end..

Arthit groaned "Come on P'. Atleast you should know how much torture I am under..Give me something solid so I can just finish this for good."

" Well, I do have something but I suggest we wait for more proof."

" Ok...so wat have you found P' ??"

" Well, the gang tat assaulted the dorm was part of the mafia. They were the drug lord, Danny's henchmen. But I had doubts tat it was he who sent them to deal with mere students. So investigating further led me to uncover tat Danny's son Jay and Namtarn both studied together abroad. I still don't have concrete proof she ordered the hit. No info on how close Jay and Namtarn are, which is why I want you to wait..I am working on gathering the information and a couple more days should do it.. also one of the boys from the dorm who was hurt, Wad i think his name is, has a bit of history with Danny, though he's been clean for over a year, but to be on the safe side I think u should get his side of the story to check if he's trustworthy"

" Ok P' I ll ask Prem to talk to Wad..I can wait a few more days for proof on Namtarn..its just tat her presence keeps bugging me and no matter how many times i change my schedule she gets hang of it.."

" Oh I can explain tat to you..she hacks ur phone and e mails. "

"WHAT??? and u chose to tell me this last??"

" Well tats what all jealous wives do. So nothing unusual there is it?? I thought u would have guessed by now. " the voice sounded amused.

" No P' I didnt guess tat she was so technically advanced and stop calling her my wife.. Well, I ll deal with it though.. thanks for telling me atleast now. And call me when u have the proof P'. Let's meet then."

" Ok Arthit, be alert in the meantime.Those gangs are deadly. "

"Sure P'. Thank you..bye".

Arthit ran his hands through his hair processing the information he had just heard... Namtarn had a hell of a lot of guts trying to hack his phone.

He called Bright and told her wat he just learnt and asked him wat could be done. He suggested getting a new number and leading her on with this number as hacking can act 2 ways, he said they could get her info through the connection as well. Arthit liked that idea so he agreed, for the time being...
