Chapter II : The Flashback
~Flash back~
After summoning the nerves, he gives her the CD. But then, she frankly tells him that she already has a boyfriend. Keng runs off in embarrassment and hides. When he looks back, he sees Fai and Ohm sweetly talking to each other and walks off holding hands. Oh she has a boyfriend, alright. And it’s his bestfriend, Ohm!
~Present day~
There he meets Jamrus (left) and Sompit (right). And yes, they are the older couple I was talking about at the beginning of this post.
As it happens, Jamrus forgets where he left his keys and Keng offers to give them a lift. Keng is rather confused when the couple didn’t live together. Jamrus sheds some light, explaining that they are indeed NOT married, just two old people seeing each other.
amrus owns a farm at Chumphon (6-hour drive from Bangkok) and Keng drops him at the bus terminal. Keng couldn’t resist to ask.
Keng: ls driving back and forth between Bangkok-Chumphon every week exhausting?
Jamrus: l can tell by your question that you’ve never been in love.
Keng laughs at the old man’s remark. Ahh, if only he knew.
The next day, Sompit and Jamrus ditch class. So, this is how old people date?! Visiting botanical gardens, bowling and maybe, clubbing?! Haha!
Eventually, when Sompit’s son checks on her and she’s not there, Keng assumes she’s with her boyfriend. Basing upon the son’s reaction, he’s clearly against the relationship. Keng takes the hint. Haha! Ooops, so much for being talkative.
