Fourth POV

April 13, 2024

Siam Center

12 noon

I am now back from resting for two chapters. As you all know, I am Fourth Nattawat and my boyfriend is Gemini Norawit. My best friends are Ohm Pawat and Nanon Korapat in case you forgot.

According to Google, Thai New Year or Songkran is the Thai New Year's national holiday. Songkran is on April 13 every year, but the holiday period extends from April 14 to 15. 

The word "Songkran" comes from the Sanskrit word saṃkrānti, literally "astrological passage", meaning transformation or change.

 It coincides with the rising of Aries on the astrological chart and with the New Year of many calendars of Southeast and South Asia, in keeping with the Buddhist and Hindu Calendar. 

The New Year takes place at around the same time as the new year celebrations of many regions of South Asia like China, India, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Thank you, Google, for defining Songkran for us!

"Hey Nanon! My best friend, what brings you here?" I asked 

"We are hosting the GMMTV Songkran Festival here you, silly boy! Of course I will be here. Songkran is my favorite event of the year. I love getting wet and wild, if you know what I mean." Nanon joked

This is the first Nanon and I talked solo. I just realized that we have the same interests in music, movies, and hobbies. 

"Let's go in a quieter place and let's talk. I want to get to know more about you. I want to be closer to my new best friend." I said

"Okay, let us do that because I want to get to know you more as well. I want to know the famous Fourth Nattawat." 

We went to a quieter place so we went to Starbucks for a quick coffee. I treat him because that is my way of love. We talked for an hour about super random things also known as Ohm Pawat. It is not that weird that we share the same boy because it is all in my past.

"So, how's your life right now? I already know your life because we are both public figures, but I want to get inside you but not in a green way." Nanon weirdly said

"My life right now is at peace. Gemini and I are very happy because we got back together. My life right now is great. I have people like you who truly loves and cares about me. Thank you, Nanon, for becoming my new bestie. How about you Mr, Korapat, how is life treating you?" I replied

"Life is full of surprises. My life currently is very okay. It is not that spectacular, but it is just simple. I am now living a simple life. I am trying to go back to show business. I took a break because of the burnout. I know it sounds cliche, but I took a break because I don't know where my life will take me when I was acting. So yeah, my life right now is fine." Nanon said

We celebrated Songkran here in Siam Center. It was wet, white, and wild. I was happy. 

We are happy, for now.
