Chapter 14

That night Mile was unable to sleep . He was tossing around his bed . He got up from the bed and stand beside the window leaning towards it , looking outside the window . Mile was wearing a tank top  , revealing his milk like smooth mascular arm . And black color shorts , showing his long mascular fair legs.

It was already 2AM in the morning and he cannt just go to Apo at this time because he have to explain his parents : why and where he was going ? , which he willnot be able to do , not because he dont want to but he have no strength to explain them everything . So he was waiting for the sun to come up and run towards his dear person and ask him for his forgiveness with a tight hug.

___________

It was 8 AM

May be because Mile was awake till 4 AM in the morning that he was in deep sleep .

* Buzz * * Buzz*

There was a message in his phone . Mile got up immediately when he heard his phone vibrate
Hoping that the person he was waiting had messaged him . He opened the message but ....

Ae : Mile , where are you ? Come immediately . Professor is asking for you .

Mile was confused seeing the message . Then he remembered,  yesterday between the chaos Ae had messaged him telling that professor had called him early today . But Mile was soo busy with the house arrangement and with Apo in mind that he forgot it .

But Why was professor looking for him ? And why it have to be today ? when he have something more important to do . Mile pressed his forehead with his hand and got up from the bed . Went to shower and got ready .

Mrs. Saithong had already made the breakfast for her husband who had already left for his work .

" Mile , you got up early today ", Mrs . Saithong asked his son , who was coming down from his room .

" Mom , I forgot to tell you that today I have to go college early "

" Oh, really ? ! " 
"Come sit Mile , I will hurriedly make you sandwich . Your father just ate it ", Mrs, Saithong hurriedly went to kitchen and started making sandwich to her dear son .

" No, Mum . Iam not hungry . I will go now "

" Give me just 5 minute , I will hurry up "

Seeing his mom working in the kitchen , Mile felt bad . He was thinking to go to Apo store on the way to college but now if he stayed for the breakfast he couldnt delay it more, the professor will get angry so he had no choice but to go to Apo after the college .

Mile was waiting for his breakfast , sitting on the dining table . He took out his mobile phone from his pant pocket and stared at it for a long time . The mobile phone had displayed the chat room of Mile and Apo . Mile had send 10-15 messages to Apo since last night but still it was unread . Mile mind was already blank .....

" Here , it is Mile ," Mrs. Saithong said putting a plate of sandwich and juice infront of Mile .

Hearing his mother voice Mile came back to the reality .

He hurriedly ate the breakfast and gave his mother a good bye kiss . And went towards his car .

Mile reached his college . Ae and Pete were waiting for him at the front gate . On the way to the college , they had called him more than 10 times already . Mile was soo much  in confusion about what actually happened and why they are hurrying him soo much .

" Mile , hurry up . Professor is waiting for you ", Ae cried as soon as Mile got out from the car

" But what exactly happened ?" , Mile was puzzled

" Just go and you will know ", Pete said .

Mile went to Professor office

" Sir , Did you called me ?"

" Oh , yess Mile come and sit "

" Yess sir "

" Mile , I have something to talk with you , so I called you this early today . I hope you dont mind "

" No , of course not "

" Mile , the thing is Bizarre Art  Competition had selected you to compete in their competition "

Mile was too stunned to speak . Bizarre Art Competition is one of the well renowed painting competition in the Asian Continent . Every artist involved in this profession had always dream to enter in this competition . So , Mile was not less than that , it was his dream to enter in this competition since he started painting .

" Huh ", Mile was too stunned to speak .

"Yesss , my boy . You heard me right . You are going to enter in upcoming Bizarre Art competition which is going to held in Korea after 1 month " , Professor said him with a bright smile . His eyes are sparking .

It was such a joyful moment but Mile was not feeling as much happy as he should feel . There is something else running in his mind so he was unable to say anything but gave a smile .

Mile came out from the Professor office . Ae and Pete were waiting for him infront of the office .

" Congratulations Mile , we are proud of you ", Ae said and hugged him . Pete joined them too .

" Thank you "

" What happened to you ? Are you not happy ? "

" Of course Iam happy " , Mile gave a smile and went to his calss room .

The classes are finished and Mile ran towards his car and drove out . Ae and Pete were stunned seeing him like this . They are looking at his behaviour with confused expression . They had nevee seen him like that .

Mile hurriedly drove towards Apo store but Apo was nowhere to find . His uncle was closing the store . Mile approached him and wai him . He asked him about Apo .

" Didnt you hear about it , Mile ?"

" What ?"

Mile heart is beating soo fast . He is almost going to throw up now . He had been having soo many weird thought since last night .....

" Apo had to hurry back home .  Didnt he called you ? "

--- Yess , he did but this fool was soo busy that he didnt even pick it up  -----
