Apart

Chapter 4

Love has duality.Easy for some to love others or to be loved but for some love is dreadful.

Love is a blessing of God not everyone can afford.

 

     "  The cloud tells me a big news :
         A face is darker than them
         But it also tells a secret to all
         Love is needed for darkness
         Love is like raindrops
         Both fall. "

Even best words can't soothe a bitter heart.

Beam glares.

"Oh oh oh...Easy tiger!I am scared.." Joss acted as surrendered soldier but what can an amateur do!

"My Goddess is enraged...Heaven is striking my heart but I only know poem..that's what I can offer.

Still my Goddess gives me sign of how to pacify and what offerings this devotee should make to please Goddess!"

Beam gritted his teeth..

"Get lost!"

"So nothing can entertain this beauty so get lost it is!Still you.."

Beam's stomach growls loudly..

"Oh ho..Alarm goes on.. Huh?" Joss smirks

"I..am just hungry.." Beam looks at him guiltily but the context made him angry again.It’s not that food early morning was not edible..He just wanted to teach him a lesson and show him his place.He is dealing with a Beam Baramee..

"Well well I better send some food to this angry bird."

Beam smiles thinly as approval.

Joss returns to his room to order food..Their boss is out of his mind.

The smile suddenly vanished from Beam's lips..Bitterness strikes.
This morning what happened between him and Forth rewind in his mind.

"Why Forth is so difficult to manage? Who doesn’t want a lavish life?"

***

Lunch time,gossip time.

Beam orders his lunch earlier so he was about to pay for the lunch -

"Can't believe Tim catch such big fish?"

"She is beautiful.. "

"Hush!You know nowadays boys don’t care of beauty..They just want..."

Beam looks back at the time when Ann shows a finger gesture..

"Money money.."

"So true..Her father has two bungalow at Pattaya..Four branded cars..bank balance..He can even cover them with GOLD.." Ploy, another girl from sells section emphasis on the word gold.

"Money talks big dear, money talks big..Love is just a word in dictionary."

Beam felt like now he can match those puzzle pieces..

He comes back to his office room with foods and slump down on chair..

"So now I get it!Jaturapooms are not naive as they show they are..Mother-son are more than that..They want Baramee's wealth..No matter how much I insult him he is still persistent to stay with me!Money talks big!

He thought he will marry a rich guy to grab all the money from in laws..Dream on!I will just vaccum your pocket Jaturapoom. "

Bling!

A message came..

[Beam,I will be late today.Our team will go for a visit to the factory.Don't wait for me.] - Forth

Beam rolled his eyes.

"As if I will ever!"

Beam types

[Go to hell!!!] -Beam

Then he decided to go against it..

"He doesn’t deserve my attention..I will rather spit this on him directly.."

"Beam,Meeting room is ready.." The swing door opens and shows P'Nate.

"Yes, P'Nate...Please help me with this design.Bring my I-Pad."

He clicked the backspace,takes laptop,files with him and leave..

***

"Pha, can you manage online job or any part time job on evening time for me?You know how price hike these days.I wanted to play online games like before but I sold my PC for marriage so.."

"What did he want this time?" Pha sternly asked.

Forth is not looking at his eyes.His friend is dangerous.

"Forth you are giving him too much freedom.We all need to look after our spouse but that doesn’t mean we will lose ourselves."

"Beam is... what can I say? Different.He brought up with silver spoon.Not like us who know struggle.He is not enough patient..Mom said because he is still young and a bit immature so I need to keep patience."

"But how long Forth?I can't see you like this."

Forth hold Pha's hands and with pleading eyes..

"Please manage na..He wants a branded shoe.He will attend a client’s marriage ceremony."

"I will lend you some money."

"No!I owe you a lot already for my marriage expense."

"Forth you have already huge debt.Can't he consider?Forth he can't just show dictatorship."

Forth chuckles at that..

"At least he is not Hulk.." Forth winks

"My hulk takes care of my feelings."
Pha mutters in low tone.

Forth's smile wiped out.

"May be this is my fate that I get him as my spouse."

***

Cold breeze touches his face gives goosebumps all around.

Rush hour ends.Most people reach home.Traffic is light now.

11 pm.

One hour, leaning on flyover railing he felt his legs numb.Then he decides to sit on railing.After settling down he looks at the horizon.Night life is fascinating. Cars are still rushing but not like before.Neon lights illuminate the whole world.Then he looks down below.

"If I fall from here, will anyone miss me?"

He closed his eyes - his father,mother,Ohm,Phana,Kitty..

Big clock strikes 12 somewhere.

Forth chuckles.

A guy stopped his vehicle earlier to check whether he is going to commit suicide.He looked worried..

"Even a stranger has concern for me."

[Go to hell!!!] - Love

Forth's eyes still sticking to the phone time to time.

Message is clear like before.

His eyes blur.

Forth felt acute pain on his left side.

Ring ring...

With anticipation, with blurry eyes he swipes to the green button.

(Welcome to **** mobile service..Dear customer this month we are giving the best offer..Dial *207*# and download your favorite songs as ringtone.Each song charges 30 baht.If you want to set your customised ringtone now press 1..)

Forth chuckles.

"Even life jokes on me."

A drop of tear escapes his eyes.
