Lions and Turtle

Chapter - 10

"Oi Arthit, hey man" bright nudged Arthit as he was in his own world when they were having discussion on where to go after college.

Arthit started going out with his friends. Initially he hesitated to go as he was not an outgoing person. He had spend all the days with his mom and dad in his home. Occasionally he go out for any important function or out with his family and Mr. Suttilack.
But from the day his group formed, he started hanging out with his friends. He enjoyed their company. They were so understanding. Soon they realised, Arthit was an pure soul. They always so protective towards Arthit.

"Yes, what did you say" Arthit asked with confusion.

"You are in day dream my friend. Am waking you up. What is the dream about" bright teasingly asked wiggling his eyebrows at Arthit.

Arthit blushed remembering what he was thinking about.

"Detective mode on. Arthit is blushing. There is something which we don't know." Toota joined with his friend questioning Arthit.

Prem and knot were back from the counter collecting their lunch plates and joined with their friends.

"Prem, can you see pinkish flash here" bright tried to gather an army against Arthit.

Prem and knot looked at him with questioning look.

"What? It's coming from our innocent friend. Arthit was in dream land and now he is blushing. Something fishy." Bright said tapping his finger on his cheek.

"Oh bright, you are exaggerating. It's nothing. Am not blushing. This might be due to hot weather" Arthit tried to cover up. What else he could say.

Yes, he was thinking about his P'singto. The name itself brough smile on his face. Even he was not sure what was that. What was the feeling he got for his P'. He couldn't name it. He just knew that he loved the feeling.

As always, bright and toota continue their investigation untill knot interrupted them saying as if saving Arthit "Today morning I met our Principal. He asked our group to meet him after college. It's regarding basket ball match".

Now their discussion was diverted to the basketball team.

Arthit smiled at knot who reflected it back with knowing something.

Singto's office cabin

"Please oak, just manage it. It's just you have to cover my place for last half an hour. Will try to end the meeting early. If not, no other way. You have to manage it. Please man" singto pleaded.

"You know that you are matured enough to understand this. But you are behaving like a love sick puppy"oat retorted.

"You understand man. If I don't see my Arthit. I couldn't sleep tonight. Then it will affect my next day work. it affects our business. Am telling this for our good" singto said with wide grin.

"What an absurd reason. I never heard this kind of excuses" oat replied facepalming himself.

"You can meet him after work right" oat not ready to let it go. He knew the importance of this meeting. Even, singto knew it. Still he was giving excuses.

"By the time our meeting ends, he would be in his home"

"So what, as if you don't know where his house is".

"Ya I know, but still.." with pause singto continued "I don't know how aunty will take my often visit. It is new, I rarely visited Rojnapat mansion, very rare" singto acknowledged his inner thought.

"How come you never have seen Arthit before, they are your family friends right" oat questioned raising his eyebrow.

"It's rare to see Arthit in the living room and in study room in his mansion. I never spotted him on my occasional business visit, if I had spotted him before I would have been his husband by now" singto said with wide smile erupting on his face.
