This I Swear

Reality

Fluke just got back from University. Since he came back, this is the first time he went back home alone. Either his brother or P'Ohm will pick him up.

The moment he open the gate, music and loud laughter can be heard on the side of the house. He smile and look the box his holding. It's actually P'Kao birthday. He is staying with his dad and brother for a year and half now.

Fluke walk towards the side when their conversation make him stop.

"Where's Fluke, Kao?", a guy asks. Fluke peek and see a blondie guy.

Kao raise his eye brow eyeing the one who asked the question, "What do you want from my brother, Boun?".

The guy named Boun just laugh and drink, "Nothing. I just remember everyone in the university become crazy looking for him when they learned you have a brother".

Fluke giggle. He actually remember that.

"I don't think that's the reason. I think the reason everyone keep looking for Fluke is because he is a transfer student from American or some students saw Ohm picking him up and being sweet with him", another guy in glasses said.

The guy in glasses and Boun look at Ohm. Ohm just shrug his shoulder, "I didn't know you love gossip, Boston".

Kao laughs which make the three look at him, "Get used to it, guys. Ohm's been like that when it comes to Fluke. Just a snap and he will do everything my brother asks".

"Asshole!", Ohm curse as he throw the empty can to Kao.

"Ooh! So does that mean that you and Fluke are you-know", Boun suddenly asks.

Fluke suddenly hold his breath, heart beating so fast.

"What? Me and Fluke? No way, he's a family. A little brother I never had, that's why I want to spoil him", that answer broke Fluke's heart. Stepping back away from that side.

Going inside the house, running upstairs to his room. He throw his bag on the floor and dial a number, "Mom, I miss you. I have no class tomorrow and the following day. Can I visit you there?".

After hearing the response and asking how his mom is, Fluke ended the call.

He take a deep breath. Tears falling from his eyes. Reality hurts. Ohm is his first crush as a child as he grow up, now he is eighteen he can say that Ohm is his first love so hearing those words from Ohm make a huge impact.

Fluke notice the gift that he bought for his brother. Still crying. He sighs, he probably give it later. He walk towards his bathroom and wash his face. Change to comfortable clothes and open his facebook. Chatting with his friends in America to distract himself from the pain.

A knock distract him. He stand up and open the door. His brother standing. He smile and hug him, "Happy birthday, P'Kao".

He run back inside his room and give the gift. Kao chuckles and mess his hair, "Thanks Fluke. Aren't you going to eat or say hi to - wait did you cry?".

"Cry?", another voice asks. There standing Ohm. Fluke bite his tongue, he suddenly want to cry again.

He shake his head, avoid Ohm's eyes and smile at his brother, "I'm fine, P'Kao. Go enjoy your day".

Kao eyeing him, probably wondering why he didn't greet Ohm but nods. Fluke force a smile and close the door.

He lean on the door and cry once more.
