Her flight landed in Beijing three hours ago, and now she is standing right in front of Kong's new apartment for the last forty-five minutes. She blissfully ignored all the curious glances she got from the neighbors. Finally she knocked at the door, and waited with bated breath. She could hear some shuffling inside and the door was opened immediately and an extremely cheerful Kongpob stood at the threshold.

May studied the person standing in front of her. Kongpob seems different. How to put it..? He seems more tender and soft. How much of a change can a six months of stay in a different country could bring to you? She was brought out of her musings when Kongpob spoke to her.

"May!! What are you doing here? No one told me you are coming. Are you here with Em? Where is he?", He guided her into the living room of the spacious apartment. He took her luggage from her and made her sit in the couch.

"No", that's what only she could say.

"What do you mean by no? Are you all right? You seem so stressed. Wait. Have you eaten anything?", Kongpob said while offering her a glass of water, which she happily took from him.

She looked at the person standing in front of her. Honestly she couldn't identify the person standing right there. When did Kong turn in to such a compassionate and a caring person.

"May, you haven't still answered my question. I am waiting."

"I broke up with Em, and I came to see you."

"What?!! You broke up with him? Why? You guys were doing fine when I last talked to him. Wait....What do you mean by you came to see me? Is everything alright?", Kongpob came and sat beside her, taking her hands within his. This touch is so different. This is heartwarming and peaceful. Were it always like this?

She let go of his hands and immediately hugged him. Kongpob stiffened in her embrace, but didn't push her away either. He gently patted on her shoulders.
" What is it May? Whatever it is..we will solve it together. Don't worry. We will be always with you. You are one of my best friends."

"What do you mean by best friends. Were we just friends? Is that how you treat all of your friends. I came here to get back with you. Since you have broken up with P'Arthit, we can be together, we can stay as we used to be. No one is going to stop us this time. We will fight together Kong", she tightened her embrace.

Kongpob slightly pushed her away and stood up, which she followed.
"What's wrong with you May? What do you mean by getting back with me and staying as we used to be? And What the hell..who told you such nonsense about My P'Arthit and me?I don't get it..."

May moved forward making Kong habitually take a few step backwards.

May was in despair. "What happened to you Kong. Just in six months you completely forgot me? Us? The gleeful and passionate moments we shared?"

"You are scaring me, May!", Kongpob clutched his phone tightly.

Streams of unbroken tears coursed over her cheeks. She was already kneeling on the floor.

" Did you forget, how we met at the party, how we talked endlessly about anything and everything, our first fiery kiss that we shared in the infirmary after I proposed you, your nightly visits at my dorm, did you forget what we did at my home the day before you came here? How could you say this to me Kong? Am I not enough? Trust me, Kong..I am ready to change whichever way you want. Yes, I did a terrible mistake letting you go without a fight. But now I am ready. For us..Let's fight for us, for our love. I don't want to hide it anymore from anyone. Just don't push me away."
