-Ring Ring-

Boun was getting ready for his work when suddenly his phone went off. He picked it up. It was an unknown number. "Hello! Am I speaking to Mr. Boun Noppanut ?" The person from the other end asked. "Yes this is Boun Noppanut Who is it?" Boun asked in reply. He didn't really get calls from unknown numbers. "I am Officer Kao noppakao." The man said . "Yes officer how may I help you?" Boun asked. "You need to come to the police station we need some information from you." Replied the officer. To say Boun was shocked would be an understatement. "May I ask what the information you need is about?" Boun asked. "It's about the murder of Miss Samantha Melanie." The officer said. Suddenly Boun's whole world went black. He couldn't breathe properly. At the moment he felt so many emotions he was overwhelmed. Saying that he'll be there in 15 minutes he cut the call.

[3 years ago]

"Sammy why? Why did you do it? Why did you kill Bosston?" Boun asked Samantha. They both were crying. "Boun trust me it was an accident. I never meant to hurt him. I loved him. I-I-It was an accident" Samantha was crying.

 Boun didn't know what to do. Should he tell the police or save his friend? He was confused. Samantha was his best friend. He was stuck between choosing justice and his best friend. He promised Bosston no matter what happens he'll be there for Samantha. So he chose his best friend. 

 "Okay. I am not going to tell anyone about this. I'll try to forget this conversation ever happened I promise. But promise me after this case is closed you wouldn't contact me in any way. After graduation I'll go abroad. I can't talk to the person who hurt him. I won't be able to forgive you Samantha" Boun said. He didn't know what to do else. He already lost one of his best friend. "I promise Boun. Maybe someday you would be able to forgive me. I am sorry Boun for taking him away from you." Samantha said. "Get out of here" Boun shouted. 

After Isabella was out of sight he started crying. He lost his two best friends. The only two he trusted. The two who he spend his whole childhood with. He couldn't ever see or talk to one and the other he never wanted to see or talk ever again. He was all alone.

[Present time]

He couldn't believe Samantha was dead. The last memory he has with her was him shouting at her to get out. Remembering that day his eyes started tearing up. Maybe he should have keep in contact with her. Maybe it is all his fault that Samantha is dead. He felt guilty. He tried to stop crying, washed his face then left for the police station. On his way he couldn't help but think that  Samantha's murder might be related to the incident 3 years ago.

[In the investigation Room]

Officer Kao: Come in take a seat. We'll start with some general question.                                             Boun: Okay.

Officer Kao: How did you know Miss Melanie?                                                                                                     Boun: She was a childhood friend.

Officer Kao: How close were you two?                                                                                                                      Boun: We were pretty close she was one of my best friend.

Officer Kao: When was the last time you talked to her?                                                                                    Boun: About 3 years ago.

Officer Kao: Huh. You said you were her best friend then why not talk to her for 3 years.              Boun: We had a big fight then I moved to here for collage.

Officer Kao: What was the fight about?                                                                                                                    Boun: I don't really remember.

Officer Kao: Was it only a fight or a murder?                                                                                                        Boun: What are you talking about officer?

Officer Kao: 3 years ago two of you friends Bosston Suphadach and Yatch Surat also died. Am I right?                                                                                                                                                                                  Boun: Yes

Officer Kao: Yatch  killed Bosston and then killed himself. And the case got closed declaring Yatch as the murderer Am I right?                                                                                                                                    Boun : Yes but what has it do with Samantha's murder? 

Officer Kao : Well it may not be related. Thank you for your time. You can leave now. We'll be in touch.

[After the Interrogation]

Boun didn't know what to do. No one knew what happened that day with him and Samantha. Not even his friends. He was confused. Who would kill Samantha? Why did officer Kao bring out the incident? The case was closed, wasn't it? Then why bring it out again? Boun's mind was full of questions that no one could answer.

"Boun?" Somebody from behind called. It was a familiar voice. The voice he never wanted to forget. The voice he once loved. Boun looked behind to see if the voice belonged to the person he thought. And it was him. "Prem. Hey" Boun said. Seeing Boun, Prem ran to him and hugged him. "You bastard why did you leave us?" Prem said as he tightened his grip. "I missed you so much. You have no idea how hard it was for me to spend this years." Prem said as he released him. "I am so sorry Prem. I am so sorry. I had to." Boun said. He didn't notice when tears started dropping from his eyes. "I am sorry about Samantha." Prem said sadly. Boun knew Prem and Samantha were never close. To be honest they didn't really like each other. But still they were in the same group as us. 

Prem told him that everyone was here. Well everyone means only Ohm and Fluke.Boun didn't know if he was ready to meet them. His friends well accept Samantha, Bosston and Yatch. He hasn't met them since Bosston's funeral. Taking a deep breath he followed Prem.
