This is a kongart story . It is my first attempt to write a story so please guide and support me throughout the story.
Kongpob joined TID with lots of young dreams and luckily gets Arthit as his mentor who is famous for his bravery and courage.
Bu...
Arthit inserts the key into the lock and twists the handle, pushing the door to his apartment and looks over his shoulder to the figure standing at the threshold of the small stairs. The lamp dangling in the front porche, casting a little shadow of Kongpob's side profile.
It has been an hour or so since they left Beam's. First they went to Kongpob's but apparently, the younger one has forgotten his keys at his brother's place. And given situation didn't allowed either of them to contact Forth and ask for it. So, they end up here, at Arthit's apartment. Earlier, it felt like a sensible decision for Kongpob to spend his night here but now that they are actually here, senior can't help the whispering of doubts running around in his brain...what if Kongpob thinks he has an alternate motive behind this?? And what about Beam? That issue has still not been solved.... So far, Kongpob's elder brother is not okay with Arthit's feelings towards the younger. The officer is afraid that if his action result in riling Beam all the more. Arthit sighs...things are getting muddy and sticky...He still has not gotten any answer from Kongpob and now Beam is also against their relationship.
Ringgg!!!!
Ringing of cellphone brings Arthit out of his stupor and he reaches for his back pocket with one hand and gestures the younger one with other," Kongpob, come inside"
Stepping inside the apartment, he toed off his shoes, simultaneously swiping at the screen and pressing the phone to his ears but not before calling out Kongpob for closing the door behind them.
"Hello mom!!", Arthit greets the other person on the line, while pressing on the switches, making his way inside.
One after other, cool white rays falls from the ceramic false ceiling lights, illuminating the whole living room. Kongpob eyes roams around the small yet warm and cosy abode. It has been so long since he last visited. But the place is still the same. At entrance is a shoe rack, filled with all types of shoes- formal, casual, sports, everyday along with slippers. The entrance leads to a short doorway, on one side of which is the washbasin, followed by a bathroom. A step above, and the narrow path folds open in a small yet open living room. A sleek 34 inches LCD installed on the left wall, opposite to which, that is, on the right side is places a black leather recliner / 3 seater. A dark well polishesd wooden coffee table placed before it, which has a shelf like place in below. The space stacked with pamphlets, brochers, comics, and newspapers. The wall, Kongpob facing, has a small open kitchen having an induction stove, a shiny microwave, a giant double door fridge in name of equipment. The walls of the kitchen are pristine white, grey inbuilt cupboards with stainless steel handles. The off beat white tiled counter tops are dustfree, literally sparking. A pair of tall, counter height bar chairs are placed just around the kitchen isle. In the corner is a small round shaped table, used for multipurpose but mainly as dining table, surrounded with two small stool like chairs.

A red creeps over the back of his neck, cheeks aflame when his eyes falls over the adjacent wall. Reminding him of his not so innocent act the last time he visited. Diverting his eyes away, he glances towards the door, where Arthit has disappeared few minutes ago. Not intending to come out as a nosy person, he walks up to sofa and takes a seat. Picking up the remote and switch through the channels. Settling at the famous news channel 56XZ which is showing the result of exit polls done for the election of city mayor. Digits are rapidly blinking over the screen under the logo of all parties competing against each other for the post, the anchor continuously explaining the data in detailed manner, but Kongpob's mind is elsewhere. His brain is busy processing all the information he has come across less than an hour ago. He didn't knew. Didn't had a slightest inkling of his dad asking favours for him. The young man fists his hand remembering the exact words of Beam. Kongpob knows that he is frivolous, not efficient like other colleagues of his. All members of ST are very skilled, experienced and exceptionally good in their work. Damon, Bright, Ryan, Prem, Phoenix, Ming, Arthit, Beam, Forth.....He can't even think of matching their levels but he is trying. He is trying to hone himself, to change himself to a better version so that he could atleast be of any help to his department. He do not possess qualities like others but still he wants to make his foster family proud of him. Kongpob had not forgotten the day when Beam had gotten selected in TID. Dominic and Sandra's happiness had no bounds. They were all very happy and proud. And that's exactly what Kongpob wishes to give his parents too. He, too, dreams of making his foster parents proud of him. It is one of the reasons he opted for this career. Another and actual reason is that he wants to be like his foster father. The life Kongpob is living now, it's a gift given to him by Dominic. That old man has saved him and accepted him as family. Kongpob can never be able to pay back the debt. Joining TID, saving lives, and making Dominic proud is Kongpob's way to let the old man know how much he cherish the affection and care, his foster parents bestowed him with. But....but after today....Kongpob don't know if he would be able to meet eyes with his father after knowing how Dominic had to do one thing he abhorres the most in the world - asking favours....how much incompetent you could be Kongpob???...already you are full of flaws and now you can't even handle your job properly?? Personal, professional... can't you be good at any aspect of life???....
