Spring in PHUKET

Chapter 2

The pilot announced tat they had been cleared for landing and the 'fasten ur seat belts' sign came on.

Krist unfolded his legs, and put on his slip ons that he had left below the seat..

P'Jane closed his eyes tightly, bracing for the descent. Mike took the seat next to him, patting his hand in assurance. Jane grabbed Mike's hand and gripped it tighter..

"Poor P'Jane " Krist commented making Earth turn to look at him..

"He ll be fine..he's a big boy.."he said not unkindly..his voice filled with amusement...

Krist nodded at the perfect description of Jane, he indeed looked like a big boy with his hair in a pony tail and soft looks..he wondered at his relationship with Mike..sometimes they fought like brothers, at other times they were friendly, yet a few times he suspected they were lovers..

It was odd tat though he was Mike's friend, he didn't know the truth behind them.

"Will you also hold my hand?"Earth asked Krist

"Why are you scared too?"Krist looked at him curiously..

"I may be."he replied thoughtfully..

"And I am the queen of England" Krist snorted, thinking of the total unprobability of it, yet he slipped his fingers through the elder's palm, the touch more comforting to him than the other..it seemed to give him a strange sense of support, reassuring him tat he was not alone..

At the table, P' Yui packed the papers she had been studying into her bag and settled down into her seat..

Tutah grabbed a handful of jelly beans and slipped into the seat opposite her. He was an avid eater and was always muching on something. His expanding girth the living proof of it. But his sense of style and dressing covered up for the fault in size.

"Don't forget the reporter from Kazz magazine, I don't want him blocked as paparazzi," he reminded Yui..

The publicist rolled her eyes.."yeah I was the one who arranged for him so I am not likely to forget am I?"she retorted..she was pissed off with his constant hankering for attention for his star, the guy needed to understand tat Krist was still a new comer and he couldn't get all the attention yet...

Tutah just munched on, ignoring her snappy reply..If u wanted to survive the rat race u sure needed thick skin here..

"When were you back here last?" P'Yui asked turning to Krist..

"Hmmm for more than a weekend? It's been ten years actually..I always meant to come back, but I guess I was too busy to do so.."he replied

"I totally understand. I am from Chiang mai and I haven't gone back in ages. Along the way I even lost a few good friends..It can't be helped,  we chose our path.."she sighed..

Krist nodded sadly, thinking of his best friend, Off Jumpol..They had once been a notorious pair much to the dismay of all the parents at school. They had kept in touch on and off, but lately it was more off than on..this time he resolved he'd make time for his best mate..maybe have another drinking binge and grouse about his latest ex..he wondered wat number he was currently at, recalling how notorious a playboy his best friend was..

"Do you realize Krist you are living everyone's dream?Returning to your home town a big success.." Yui broke into his thoughts..

Krist laughed nervously "Don't you think tat s a bit premature P'. We haven't even started the shooting yet."

"That may be but I read the script and saw u in action at the screen test and I guarantee that when the movie hits the screen, u ll soar so fast you won't know wat hit you..Krist Perawat s going to be a name on everybody's lips soon."
