Thousands of Birds

~Part 16~

          It's about 2 months, Freen was still worried about Becky. Now, they were at the café, giving time for each other.

"Hellllooooo, Phiii kaaaa..."

          That was Rin and Becky rolled her eyes. Becky's mind – "Here we go again..."

"Hi"

"Can I join?"

          Freen looked Becky for permission, she nodded slowly and Freen said,

"Yes, you can"

          Rin smiled and,

"Khun Becky... you seem to be taking up so much of Phi's time these days. You are lucky that you have someone beside like Phi, especially when you're... you know"

          Rin had already known about Becky's health. Becky rolled her eyes again and,

"If you're here to insult me, I'd rather you leave"

          Rin smirked and,

"I am not insulting you. I am just saying the facts. Phi Freen could be so much more if she weren't spending all her time with someone who's dragging her down. It's a shame she's wasting her life on someone who's always sick"

          Freen stood up angrily and,

"Nong Rin, that's enough. I won't allow you to disrespect Becky... get out"

"Fine... if you want to be so blind to the truth, then I won't waste my time here"

          As Rin got out, Freen immediately looked at Becky.

"I'm sorry, Beck"

"That's fine and she was right"

"No... that's wrong. No one will come between us, no matter what. I'm here for you and I'll always protect you from anyone who tries to hurt you..."

          Freen's words made Becky's heart flutter.

~~

          A few months later, Becky's health was worse and worse. They were in Freen's art gallery. Freen was clinging in Becky's arms. Freen grabbed Becky's face and kissed her.

"I'm sorry Phi... I am wasting your time"

          Freen slowly looked at Becky.

"I've been thinking about what Rin said... about me. Maybe she's right"

"Beck... don't listen to Rin. She was wrong and..."

"But, it's not like that Phi. It's the way she looks at me... like she's waiting for me to fall apart so... she can take your heart"

"Rin doesn't matter... You're the one I love and she can never change that"

          Freen slowly kissed Becky again, then suddenly...

"Thissss..."

          They heard a woman voice came from the back, then Rin appeared with a glass bottle in her hand to hit Becky but Freen immediately grabbed her hand and threw the bottle away.

"Stay away from her"

          Freen shouted, her voice filled with protectiveness. Becky called her brother and he arrived in minutes.

"Are you okay...? The cops are behind me..."

          The cops arrested Rin and took into the car. As the cops and Rin left, Richie turned to face them.

"Are you okay, Teerak?"

          Freen asked Becky and she seemed afraid. Becky nodded and Richie began,

"I have something important to tell you. I've been digging into the explosion at the factory. It wasn't an accident. It was planned... by Rin"

"Rin...? But why??"

"From what I've uncovered, she was jealous. She couldn't stand the idea of you and Becky together. She wanted to ruin everything"

          Freen looked Becky and,

"How could she do something so terrible...?"

"Like a psychopath..."

          Becky whispered.

"But anyway, I am glad that everyone is fine"

"Heng??"

          Heng had arrived with Nam, holding hands together.

"Oh my god, we were so worried"

          Becky giggled and Heng smiled,

"I saw someone who can take my heart now, Nong"

          Nam smirked and,

"Haha... who's that??"
