Be mine 》

chapter 14

"You got married?" Gige whispered

"Yea, I did, and I wasn't forced to" arthit replied, taking a step back

"You love him? Like you loved me?" Gige asked

"I love him, exactly like I loved you, or maybe more than that" arthit replied

Gige stared at him, her faint smile had disappeared and so had the hope in her eyes

"I loved you gige, I really did, not for a second was I ever able to hate you with all my heart, it was just the frustration filled up in me, and I do get your part of the story, I do understand you and sympathise with you but just as you said, it doesn't make you any good in the story.." arthit replied

"So it's all over?" Gige asked

"It already was, there is nothing between us now, and there never will be" arthit mumbled

Gige took in a sharp breath, as she turned away, her back facing arthit, she stood there for a minute or two, maybe secretly hoping for him to call out her name, and he did

"Gige" arthit called

She took a slow turn, fearing of what he might now utter

"Move on, let go" arthit whispered

There was a loud Crack in her chest, she heard it, her heart breaking into pieces, she had always taped the broken pieces together, telling her it will be okay someday, but today, the tape had lost all its adhesive and set the pieces free, free to fall apart and so they did

Arthit gave her one last glance before turning to the other side as he made his way back to the hotel leaving a messy gige behind

"Kongy" arthit called

"Can you like say something? You have been calling my name out loud since the last five minutes" kongpob huffed angrily

Arthit chuckled softly, he needed this, he needed to let his heart and his mind know that this very person he was talking to was his life now and forever will be and he has no right to break his heart

"I love you" arthit replied

"I love you too, oon, you could have just said it earlier" kongpob said

"You know I'm dramatic" arthit replied giggling

"Oh yea, surely, I already miss you" kongpob pouted

"I do too, love" arthit replied

"Can't you just leave the meeting and come back?" Kongpob asked

"Oh how much I wish I could bun" arthit chuckled

"Just get done with that damn meeting and come back with a late night flight tomorrow" kongpob suggested, his pout visible in his voice

"Someone is desperate" arthit chuckled

"For attention? Yes" kongpob agreed

"You better go to sleep now, it's pretty late" arthit replied, his smile never leaving his face

"Good night oon" kongpob said

"Good night love" arthit replied before he hung up

Throwing his phone aside, he placed both his hands below his head, staring up at the ceiling as a few random thoughts crept inside his head

your father, called me to visit him one day, he offered me money to leave you

"Did dad really do that? And all this while he told me how I should move on when he knew what the truth was?" Arthit asked himself

It hurt him, not that he could have had a chance to live his forever life with gige, but that his father, his literal hero, was lying the whole time, why?

Arthit walked out of his room, heading to the main lobby to get himself a taxi, he didn't want to be late for the meeting

He glanced at his watch as the lift arrived, the door beeped open and his eyes travelled straight to the one standing inside

"Hey.." gige waved at him

Arthit smiled back at her, nodding before he walked in, standing beside her

"I'm sorry for yesterday, I didn't want to sound so pathetic, I was thinking about it the whole night yesterday, and I feel so embarrassed" gige mumbled, her eyes fixed on her feet

"It's alright, we made our points clear, got over things we left behind years ago, I feel at ease and so should you" arthit replied softly

Gige passed him a small smile, not that she agreed, her anxiety was killing her, the regrets she held in life were killing her but after all it was her who made the decision

"Dad, I need to talk to you" arthit mumbled

"Yes son, what is it about?" John asked rather casually

"Not now, I will be back tonight, lets talk then" arthit replied

"Why not in the morning tomorrow? You are gonna be tired son, plus, kongpob must be waiting for you" john suggested chuckling

"I will meet him later, I will be on my way straight to your house from the airport" arthit informed

"Is everything okay arthit?" John asked, finally sensing something was wrong

"Just..just be honest with me" arthit whispered

I purple you 💜
