From Something To Everything (Bounprem)

Epilogue

Dear Boun,

I don't know if I am in a position to address you as 'dear' now and I know that I am being hypocritical by calling you that. 

Maybe by the time you are reading this letter, I might not be in this world anymore. I might have been killed by others or by myself. Yet, I am writing this letter to you so that I can say a few words that I might have never gathered enough courage to tell you in person.

After my parents passed away, my Khun Yay worked very hard to raise me. It became the exact reason why her health started worsening and fell completely sick. She made me promise to her that I would live my life well on her dead bed and that was exactly what I was trying to do. I tried my best to live, to survive and that had been nowhere near easy. 

As someone who only brought bad luck to the people he loved, my life was really lonely. This was until you shower up.

Truth be told, I never actually had someone whom I could call a friend before you.

Back then I was too proud to admit it but now I have to tell you this Boun, you are an amazing person.

The days I spend with you has become the best memories of my childhood.

Even though you never actually confessed your love for me, you have always been expressive about it.

But I acted like I knew nothing despite understanding your feelings towards me because I was scared. Scared that I might end up losing you if I told you that I don't feel the same way towards you as you do to me. Scared that you might lose interest in me and leave me if I actually said yes.

I don't know if all that make sense to you. But as an orphan teenager, I really didn't want to lose the only person who was willing to mingle with me.

You were like the sunshine in my life- warm and bright. I used to be really envious of you, of everything you had. I never realized that my little envy had turned into jealousy and this jealousy had turned my heart black.

Maybe that was why when others tried to manipulate me against you, I easily fell for their words and betrayed you.

All those years I spent in jail, there wasn't a day I hadn't hated you. My thoughts were so twisted that I was actually blaming you for all the things that were happening to me.

It was not until recently, I got to know that I was a mere pawn that those people and you were the one who suffered the most.

I know it is silly and disgusting of me to ask for forgiveness. But I really want to apologize to you for all the pain I caused you, for all the torture you had to go through all these years because of my stupidity.

Since you are reading this letter, you must have already gotten to know that I got adopted.

Fluke, my Nong, he told me all about you and your Prem. I really happy that you found someone who would love you the same way you love them.

I have a lot to tell you but I don't want to bore you with a long letter. So I am  concluding this letter with a few more words.

Boun, if we meet again in another life, I really wish that we could be best friends.

Take care of yourself and you boy. Don't let someone else snatch your happiness away from you.

With love,
Colt.

Boun crumbled the piece of paper as he cried. His body shook violently as tears streamed down his eyes.

Fluke had handed him this letter that Colt had written for him before his death. He said that Colt wanted to give him a closure and apologize for all the wrong doings.

Prem sighed as he watched Boun from outside the room.

He knocked and entered the room. " Hia, are you ready to go? "

Boun looked up and nodded gently.

They set off to the same temple where Colt had his accident. His remains were kept along with his grandmother's and parents' remains in the same temple.

The couple stood in front of the stone shrine of Colt. The stone had a big photo of Colt's smiling face.

"Long time no see" Boun said with a smile on his lips and tears in his eyes. " I never expected our next meeting would be like this."

Prem silently stood beside Boun as the latter made the offerings and talked.

"I brought someone with me to introduce to you. " Boun held Prem's hand. " This is Prem, the love of my life. You already have heard of him, right?"

"Swadee khrab, P' Colt. I am Hia Boun's Prem. " Prem waied at the stone shrine.

He could see that Boun had a lot to talk to his friend, so he excused himself and left.

Boun sat on the concrete floor and talked to Colt's shrine. There was no anger or resentment as he spoke. He was talking as if he was catching up with an old friend of his.

The topic of conversation ranged from Prem to the amount of litter Latte has per day. If others were to see him, he might look like a madman to them, talking absolute nonsense that had no connection with each other.

Prem had to wait for about three hours before Boun was done.

"Feeling better? " He asked as he saw Boun walk to him.

Boun nodded happily. But his eyes we're red and puffy.

"Where to now? " Prem asked as he keyed the car engine to ignition.

" To the NineHeart residence" Boun beamed as he buckled up.

"Why, Hia? " Prem asked in confusion.

"Since P' Kao and Earth ditched and ran off to Vegas and had a shotgun marriage there, isn't it completely reasonable that we intrude their honeymoon? " Boun asked with a smug expression.

" You are right, Hia. We shouldn't let them off so easily. Hia, text Fluke and P' Ohm as well. Ask them to join us. I will text Sammy and P' Ton. Let's crash their honeymoon! " Prem said excitedly.

"On it, captain! " Boun exclaimed giving a military style salute before picking up his phone to text everyone. " I am also informing Dream, P' Oreo and P' Yacht. Let them all come. The more the merrier." He had his devilish smile on his face as he texted everyone.

Prem couldn't help but smile along seeing how happy Boun was. The change that had happened to Boun was so obvious. The number of therapy sessions he had to attend had also reduced by a great extent.

He no longer relied on anti-depressants and sleeping pill when he had bad days. He had his Pao next to him as the support system.

Boun had also picked up many healthy habits including going to gym regularly and having minimum six hours of sleep. These little habits had made great chances in the quality of his life. He was much happier and healthier than he ever was.

Prem too had a turned into a responsible man from a hot headed boy. He had become one of the best raising artists of Thai entertainment industry.

Together Boun and Prem and there little family with Bew and Latte was complete and content.
