"Arun BekFah... the bird that flies, come out and eat happily and contentedly..."
The music played softly from the living room as I was getting ready to go out and find something to eat. Whenever I heard this song, my eyebrows would furrow because it always made me feel like I was being mocked. But as soon as I went out to look, I saw that Khun In was very focused on doing something, something that seemed to be more than just listening to a show tune.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm editing the song."
"This song, 'Ja Khun Thong'?"
"Yes. I spent a long time watching how to download and cut songs on YouTube... Now I'm going to try to see if I can make it work."
After saying this, my boss, who was also my girlfriend, rubbed her hands together as if she was amused.
"Fah, try calling me."
"Do you want me to call your cell phone?"
"Yes."
I picked up the phone and dialed her contact number as requested. Then, finally, the edited song played as my ringtone, just as she wanted.
"Yay! From now on, when you call, it will be this song."
"Are you trying to make fun of me?"
"Make fun of you? Are you crazy? If I were to make fun of you, I wouldn't choose this beautiful song. There are many words to make fun of you that are much more interesting than this song."
"Like, for example?"
"Cute, beautiful, my little kitty."
"Are those mocking words?"
I smiled slightly, even though I didn't quite understand what those words like "cute," "beautiful," and "my little kitty" meant, but I knew they were compliments.
"Well, there's nothing I can call you negatively. Oh, there's one more word!"
My boss, who was also my girlfriend, got up from the couch and came over to me, getting so close that I had to back away, smiling.
"What?"
"My playmate."
"Don't you get tired of this?"
I laughed as she kissed me left and right before pushing me onto the bed, even though I had just finished getting ready.
"Let's go out to eat!"
"Give me twenty minutes and we'll go."
"What if it takes longer?"
"Then whatever."
"In!"
I tried a little charm by patting her, but ended up giving in, since I didn't care that much.
Besides, this period was like a break for both of us, after we had completed the mission of earning a million within a year. Being able to rest in a room, without going out to do anything outside, was something I had longed for for a long time.
But even inside the room, we ended up doing a lot of things... Oh, but it doesn't matter. As long as it's fun, it makes me feel good, and I have her, everything is great.
"I love you."
After a few moments of playing without doing anything more intense, my temperamental girlfriend threw herself next to me on the bed and said this.
"What did you say?"
"I love you, Fah."
"What? So, in the end, you're not going to tease me?"
