Happy reading!!

Win placed his hands on my shoulders and mine crawled around his waist. I pulled him close, so close that the friction of our bodies rubbing was producing electricity in my spine. He tugged my hair aggressively as his tongue travelled all around my mouth. He was kissing me like it was the last time he'd see me. Like I was going away for years. Or perhaps, coming back to him after years. He bit my lower lip and I sucked the tip of his tongue and then took his tongue full in my mouth. I was licking his lips passionately. It was the first time I had really kissed in years. For some reasons, kissing Win felt so familiar. Like I had always known the taste of his lips, the sweetness of his mouth. He kissed me with longing and as I kissed his neck, he wrapped his hands around my neck, hugging me tightly. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and tried to scoot closer, almost climbing on me. I held him tightly as I felt dampness passing through my shirt on my shoulder.

"I missed you Wat", he said in between the cries, "I missed you so much."

I held his lower back and told him to jump a little so I could carry him to his room. I put him in his bed where he lied half sleepily as I covered him with the blanket. He wouldn't let go of my hands so I lied with him too, bringing him close to my body. I caressed his hair and put my legs over his lower body so he could be warm. Soon, he drifted into deep sleep and I realised his hands were finally warm. I kissed his right temple and carefully got out of the bed. He needed rest and I needed answers. I drove to my house where Molly was still waiting for me in living room.

"It's so late now Sarawat. Who were you with? Why are you soaked?" She came running to me. I thought she was concerned but she sounded paranoid.

I made my way to the washroom as I told her I was with a friend.

She blocked my path, "which friend?"

I frowned, "what's with you Molly? I often come late. What's the big deal?"

She said, "you left office early in the evening. Where have you been since then?"

I stared at her. What the hell was wrong with her? She was not acting herself.

"Molly, are you okay?"

"Just answer me Sarawat. Who were you with?"

"Stop it please", I said calmly, "I don't know what's gotten into you. I said I was with a friend."

She looked serious and then, out of nowhere she started unbuttoning my shirt.

"You'll catch cold, let me get you dry clothes."

I tried to remove her hands but she kept insisting.

"Molly, I can do it. Just go and sleep."

"It's okay I'm your wife. I should take care of you."

I felt guilt as I heard those words. However, I didn't regret what had happened earlier at Win's house. I just needed time to clear my thoughts and Molly's hysterical attempts to cling onto me weren't helping at all. I felt her lips against my neck and I grabbed her shoulders gently to move away from her.

"Molly", I said firmly, "just stop. Let's talk in the morning."

She started sobbing and I couldn't understand why was she behaving that way. I was afraid it would wake Rain up so I hushed her by caressing her back. Honestly, I was tired too. She slept after a while and I stood under the shower. It had been an eventful night. I missed Win. However, by now, it had dawned on me very obviously that they all were connected; me calling him Tine the day I met him first, Win saying he had missed me, Molly's insecurities after seeing Win and my heart taking me back to Win again and again. They all were connected with thread of events I couldn't recall yet but knew for sure that they went back to the years deleted from my mind, a glimpse of which I saw earlier in my car.

.....

Win had been avoiding me for three days now. He didn't pick up my calls and somehow, meeting him while dropping Rain to school didn't seem right. He even refused to meet me when I went to his house. And so, the only option I was left with was his cousin's cafe. I had to wait for other two days since my busy schedule at office didn't allow me to take early leaves. Finally it was Friday and I drove straight to souri cafè after office. I parked my car from where the cafe wasn't visible and walked to a lady standing at a corner. Before confronting him, I needed to confirm something.

"Excuse me", I said politely, "I need a help if you don't mind."

She looked at me and covered her gaping mouth, "are you Mr. Sarawat gunthithanon?"

I smiled, "ceo of astro. That's right. Would you do me a favour?"

"Oh my!", She squealed, "sure."

"I need to make a call. Can I borrow your phone?"

She handed me her cellphone and I dialled a number.

"Uh..a man will receive the call. You just have to ask is it Mr. Tine speaking. Could you do that please?"

"Huh?" She was puzzled.

I raised my brows in anticipation and mouthed please. She flushed and nodded in affirmation.

I put the phone on speaker and peeped across the road, I could see him through the transparent gate, attending the customers. He took out his phone and after a second, received the call.

"Hello?"

I heard his voice as I saw him afar, with his phone against his ear.

The lady looked at me and I gestured her to speak.

"Umm..Is it Mr. Tine speaking?"

"..."

"Hello?"

"Yes. Who's th..."

I cut the call and thanked the lady before crossing the road hastily. I knew it. He was not Win. He was Tine. The Tine of my dreams.
