Off Jumpol, a 24 year old whose girlfriend just cheated on him, is sitting on the edge of the railing of the terrace of his building.He was tired of his life. He left his job and now he was jobless. He has no family and he thought no one cares for him now. His useless life should come to an end today, so here he was. About to commit suicide.
His eyes were all red and puffy from all the crying as he thought his life was now so meaningless to him. No one needs him. So, he should die now to end his all pain and agony.
He wanted to call his so called girlfriend for the last time. He wanted to say "Goodbye." for the one last time.
When he was just about to call her, he got a call from an unknown number. He picked up the call.
Yes, you all guessed it right. A call at midnight can only be a call from a call center asking for you to take their insurance package.
"Hello, Sir. Sorry to disturb you this late at night. I'm calling from GMM insurance company and I think you would be interested in our new insurance package. It will make your life more secure and happy."
There was no reply from Off.
Because one part of him thought it was his girlfriend who called him to apologise but no, it was a call from a damn call center.
He should not have got his hopes high. He is not a damn child anymore.
"Hello, Sir. Can you hear me?"
"What the fuck is wrong with you all people. Can't you fucking leave me alone when I'm trying to commit suicide? Can't you just let me die in peace?" Off shouted as tears were falling from his eyes. But when he was about to throw the phone, someone again spoke from the other side.
"Off!!! Don't hang up the call. Please... Please... Just talk to me for once. I need you."
"You need me?"
Lies. All lies. Off knows, no one needs him. Many people have said the same thing to him but where are they all now when he needs them the most?
"Yes, Off. I need you. Please listen to me."
"Why should I listen? I don't even know you."
"Off... I'm Gun. Gun Atthaphan from your school. We used to read in the same class. Do you remember? You once saved me from the bullies."
"Gun? Yes, I remember. But it has nothing to do with my suicide." Off said in deep voice as the memories of him and Gun came to his mind.
Off and Gun were classmates. They never really talk with each other or were friends but Off once saved Gun from the bullies. Well, he only remembers this memory of Gun, as this was a proud moment of his useless life.
"But Off-"
"You listen, my girlfriend whom I have dated from school just cheated on me with my ex-boss. Ex because I left that fucking job."
"What? Mook cheated on you? How? I mean why?"
"I don't know. I think it's for money or I actually don't know. It's beyond my ability to know as I am a stupid, useless person who just trusted her blindly."
"But it can't be the only reason to die, right?"
"Hmm. I can give you plenty of reasons."
