Heartstrings In Dilemma

CHAPTER 5

After the tense encounter at the dinner table, phayu fully drowned himself in work. Whenever thoughts about rain came into his mind, he either drained his energy in the gym or focused more into his work.

Saifah can sense something is wrong with phayu, although phayu was a workaholic but this was extreme he was working all day and night and became more aggressive and irritated with everything. So he decided to take phayu to the club and let him relax for sometime at least.

Saifah can see phayu sitting in his office room, not really sitting but yelling at someone, it's not new for saifah because from past few days this was the regular scene, he opened the door and enter the room.

"What the hell is this, this is what you do whole day, this fucking shit" Phayu yell and throw the file on the guards face.

"I am giving you a last chance and after that you can pack your bags and go, there is no place for people like you" Phayu continued.

Saifah sigh, he can see the guard was quite afraid of his master. So he send the guard away.

"You can go, I will handle here" Saifah said ordering the guard.

Phayu look at saifah and roll his eyes.

"What you want" Phayu asked bluntly and burry himself in the file that is on the desk.

"I am here to take you with me" Saifah tried to ease the atmosphere.

"I am busy, I don't have time to go anywhere, you can leave now" phayu's reply was rough as always.

Saifah well aware of his brother's mood did not lose hope and tried to pursue him again.

"I know you are busy, but sometime it's good to go out" Saifah try again but got no response from phayu.

"Come on, Phayu! You can't just bury yourself in work. Let's go out, have some fun, and forget about the stress," Saifah urged, a playful glint in his eyes.

Phayu, still carrying the weight of the recent events, hesitated. "Saifah, I really have work to do. It's not the right time."

But Saifah, being persistent, gave Phayu a pleading look. "Phayu, we haven't hung out in a while. I miss spending time with my brother. Just a few hours, please?"

Despite his initial resistance, Phayu found it hard to resist his brothers pleas. "Come on, it'll be fun. You can't say no to me," Saifah teased, his tone coaxing.

Phayu sighed, torn between his responsibilities and Saifah's infectious enthusiasm. "Saifah, I have serious matters to attend to. I can't just—"

Saifah interrupted, looking directly into Phayu's eyes, "Phayu, I know you're dealing with a lot, but sometimes it's good to forget everything and enjoy. And "rain is also coming" It will be fun, no?

Hearing rain's name phayu's body stiffened, the thing that he want to run away the most, not thing actually, the person that he want to run away the most, is again here.

But how hard he tried, he also wanted to see rain, not because he miss him, No,No, just because that he can see, he have no weird and foreign feeling for rain.

Yes! That the reason (excuse) to go and see rain nothing else.

Unable to resist his brother's request or you can say unable to resist rain, Phayu sighed and agreed. "Alright, but only for a short time. I can't stay long."

A triumphant smile lit up Saifah's face as he pulled Phayu into a hug. "You won't regret it, I promise!"
