I wasn't ready for this. My heart was beating faster and faster. What if he easily befriended me because he just wants to make Vihokratana group an ally too? Is he using me? Like uncle and aunty? Here I am happy that he told me his secrets and said he trusts me because I am his real friend and there he is laughing his ass off because of my foolishness!
I looked at the door and then opened the file.
Just like others it has information about our company and everything. The only addition is that in the last page it contains information about our family.
Hm. So in your file I am Mint's "love interest". Great! But the more I read the more I became annoyed.
Just one paragraph! For me! And three paragraphs for Thada!
So in your eyes Thada has more potential than me! In every sentence you praised him like he is an idol!! Even dad has two paragraphs!!
What the fuck!
I closed the file with a thud and shoved it into the rack angrily. In your eyes I'm useless right! Only one paragraph! Huh! Then why did you become my friend?
'What are you thinking so seriously?'
And he is back! I totally ignored his question and sat on the sofa with a huff.
'What's wrong?' He noticed my annoyance.
'Nothing.'
'Hm. Are you... hungry?'
'No.'
'Listen, about earlier......'
'I don't want to talk about it right now.'
'Okay....' He was hesitating near the door.
I looked at him and saw his hair was dripping wet. I became irritated again.
'Why didn't you dry your hair properly? You will get sick.' I got up and snatched the towel from his shoulder.
'Sit down.' I pushed him towards the only couch.
'Oh!' He wasn't prepared for that.
'Now sit still. Let me dry your hair.' My anger subsided because he looked just like Bai Long. Yes, that kitten.
I sighed and started slowly and methodically dry his hair. After sometime, I felt that something was wrong.
New haven't spoken a word for a long time. His body is stiff as a rod and his breath is uneven.
'New?' I was afraid that my behaviour might have crossed some boundaries.
He was silent.
'Sorry, I....' I didn't know how to apologize.
'Thank you.' His voice was very soft.
'What for?' Now it's my time to be shocked.
'No one has ever done this to me.' He lowered his head and mumbled.
Huh? No one ever...... helped him dry his hair? Not even when he was a kid!
'In my entire childhood, no one took care of me....I did everything on my own.....I used to let my hair stay wet and it became a habit. And when Hiya started to live with me.......well, I tried my level best to become a good boy.....I didn't want to see disappointment in his eyes, so......I became more proper. He helped me in many ways but he is a reserved kind of person so......'
'New....' My heart was throbbing in pain.
'You're the first person to care about me without any ulterior motive. So....thank you.' This time he turned his head and smiled softly.
