The Compatible

Chapter 27

Arthit's POV

It's last day of our vacation. This week went by just like I wanted, peacefully. But only for me.. Kong on other hand, had to deal with many things which he denied to tell as I wanted to enjoy my week. I felt really bad but he assured me that those were things which he can take care of easily.
Even though I was happy, I missed my parents at some point and hoped that if this could be happened in different situations they would have been with me. But I know I can't have everything..

Past week four of us, Me, Kong, P'Luke and Awan had been set like routine. We had our meals together. I just lazed around. While Kong and P'Luke worked for couple of hours daily. I didn't asked him what kind of work they were doing as Kong himself told me that it's about next project..
And Awan, he rested. But though he wanted to help Kong and P'Luke but Kong bluntly told that he doesn't trust Awan with everything yet. I was mad at Kong but then P'Luke told me and made me understand.

One evening when I was reading book in room which Kong arranged for books for me, he approached me.
"P'Arthit.." He called me.
"Hmm.." I said expecting to him to continue but he stayed silent. I looked towards him. He looked bit hesitant. We didn't talked about anything happened at my parents house, not their behavior and not our confessions..

"Come sit here and talk. You can talk with me anything.." I said in soft voice while pulling chair beside me for him. He sat on chair and turned towards me.
"You once told me that you took engineering because of your parents. So I wanted to ask if you want to change faculty and study anything else which you are interested like arts?" He asked looking in my eyes.

I happy as well as disappointed. Happy because he is asking me what I want and disappointed because.. well I thought he finally will say anything about our confession..
"Ohh.. that, it's not that I don't want to study engineering and now after year I don't think I can be anything but engineer. Beside I don't want to go anywhere leaving everyone and.. you.." I said with blush.

I saw him grinning. Did he thought that I'd accept leaving engineering.. I frowned at him but saw his teasing smile.
"What?" I asked.
"What did you assume I'll ask you?" He asked.
"I didn't assumed anything. It was you, did you thought that I'll leave engineering?" I retorted.
"No, but though I wanted to ask and not to take you as granted.." He said. After that he we didn't talked much. I went to kitchen for making dinner while he helped me.

"What are you thinking?" I heard Knott's voice. All our friends returned in morning as from tomorrow we have college. Currently we all are at our home means mine and Kong's home and I'm preparing lunch while Knott and P'Luke is helping me.
"Nothing just random things.." I said concentrating on cutting vegetables.
"So how was vacation?" He asked.
"It was just it was supposed to. But last week was kind of peaceful for me. I liked it." I said with smile.

We prepared lunch and I asked P'Luke to call everyone including Kong for lunch as everyone was at their apartments while Kong, I don't know where he is..
When P'Luke went away Knott turned to me and said, "Tell me Arthit what's in your mind?"
"I.. I want to tell everyone about me.." I said. I was thinking about this for while. I don't want them to know this from others.
"Listen to Arthit.." Knott said while taking my hand in his, "Don't force yourself..."
"I'm not. I want to tell this.." I said cutting him in mid sentence. I hugged him as I wanted assurance that he's with me.

Knott is bestfriend and with me from childhood. He know me. We understand each other well. We heard voice of clearing of throat. I separated from Knott and turned towards door and Kong standing there with irritation on his face.
"Where were you?" I asked him.
"I was gone for some work phi, I'll tell you later. It's surprise." Kong said but still looked irritated. He was looking towards Knott.
"Oh nong quit it. I'm not going to steal your husband.." Knott said with sigh..
