2. Who are they?

A/n: Thank you again for giving me your support by reading my story. As you know I'm not good. English is not my first language so it's difficult for me to write to. But don't worry I'll do my best to satisfy you guys.
So let's read the story...

'Dear diary,

Today is my birthday. My brother comes to celebrate my birthday with his 3 years old son. He is always busy with his work so we don't see each other often, either he is back home late or I sleep early. Also today I meet a weird guy.

At college,

(30th January 2003)

New was roaming around the library, searching for his friends, Nicky and Neem. Their exam was nearer so they have been planning to study. He looks around the library as he walks as a result he bump into someone and make them fall to the ground and scattered the book all around.

"I-- I'm sorry..." He wisphere.

"No no, it's okay. It's also my fault too." The other person said as he pick up the books. New just sit there.

"I'm sorry again." the man gave New books as he walk away.

A new look at the retreating figure who looks so sad, his eyes look like he was crying for so long. He was snapped from his thought when he heard Nicky and Neem's argument.

"As if you are better than me." Well, they are in the library but Nicky doesn't give a dam. It's their nature, whenever they have a chance they always arguing each other even a small matter, but they never stop hanging out.

"Hey, guys!" New walk towards them and sit on the empty seat.

"You are late again," Neem said as he look at New worriedly.

"Um I've to wash the plate before coming so..." New looked down, fingers fiddling with the hem of his shirt as he unwillingly answer.

"I surely will kill your step-mother one day," Nicky said with a hint of anger.

Yes, step-mother. She drugged him and blackmailed him to marry her, so as a result his mother and his father have to divorce. New has one elder brother, one younger brother and one step-brother. His step-brother is a very cunning, selfish person, older than him.

Because of her greediness, his older brother had to marry a woman but unfortunately, she died after giving birth. Upon reaching the age of 3, he has been bringing his son with him to his office so that he will get a better education in the city. As his work placed was at in his in-laws, it had been better to take care of his son.

"As if you'll able to." Neem restored.

"Don't worry it's just that witch, I can handle it," Nicky said proudly.

"Um, I also can handle his brother," Neem said without looking up from her book. That's when they start arguing again.

Reaching home after their study session, he starts arranging his book that's when he noticed an extra diary. Out of curiosity, he opens the diary

Dear diary,

It's been a while since I write. It's hard to involve things that I don't want and it's painful to do. My best friend, Lee and Mook (which I consider, maybe it's just only me) said I'm a good friend of theirs. Maybe it's because I don't judge them or don't say anything when they do something.

But there is something I hate, I'm always in their side whenever they need me, hearing about their broken story, doing everything that they asked me but when I need them, there is no one for me to stand by my side, protect me. Yes, they were there but to laugh at me.

There is no one with me, they always show their back. Don't get me wrong Lee and Mook are my good friend, I love them... Maybe everyone is also busy with their problems.

(Present time)

Bright blink his eyes with shock, and start reading again,

This night, I can't sleep, still seeing the sad, broken look of the person I bump into... What I wonder is who is Tay...

                                                    -New
                                          30th. Jan 2003

After finishing reading just like the person in the diary, Bright also wonder,

"Who is this Tay and New? And why does Dada have his diary? Hmm... Let's just call Kaothang."

Bright is still sitting in that position with the diary on his lap and the assignment sheet on the floor. He pick up his phone that was placed next to the assignment sheet and see it was already late at night. Without any delay, he calls his best friend, Kaothang.

"Hello. What's up?" Kaothang picks up lazily.

"Brother Kaothang, I want to do my assignment..." Bright said winning with a pout.

"Then, do it. Why are you whining?" Kaothang responded with confusion.

"I want to read this diary too..." Bright said still whining.

"What diary?"  Kaothang asked still confused.

"I found a diary in my Dada library, it's... I don't know what to say. Let's read together tomorrow, what do you say?" Bright said with hope.

"It's okay with me. It's not like I've things to do too." Kaothang said with a sign.

"But I want to finish my assignment too..."

"Don't worry. our break is for one month, I'll help you to finish."

With that the call was end.
