Kongpob phoned Arthit's mom to put her mind at ease. After he was allowed to spend more time with Arthit, he bought Arthit pizza before their own bus tour. As Arthit had skipped dinner, he ate the pizza like a horse. Actually, the 30-year-old Arthit didn't use to like pizza or fast food. His eating habit was much like that of his parents who preferred traditional Thai food.
"I didn't know you like pizza this much." Kongpob poured coke into a glass and gave it to Arthit.
".......I have to save my pocket money for buying model robots. So, I don't have spare money for others"
"But hanging out with friends would be a priority for teens...so..." Before Kongpob said something more,
"I say Amen to that, P'!", shouted Arthit. Kongpob was surprised to hear Arthit call him P' but Arthit didn't seem to realize he had called Kongpob by that. An odd but joyful sensation stirred in Kongpob.
"That's why I got in that accident! Damn it!" Arthit put down the pizza in his hand on the plate, drank the coke to the bottom and placed the glass back on the table with a snap.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kongpob poured more coke into the glass, wanting Arthit to call him P' again.
"I was not simply hanging out but socializing with friends then." Arthit's big round eyes sparkled with seriousness. It reminded Kongpob of Arthit while in university. He was the shining, unconquerable head hazer in the heyday of his blooming youth.
"You know, Once in a way, there are times when you can not refuse."
Arthit was not only a man of pride but also a wise, intimate lover. As Kongpob was the only son among his siblings and the Benjamin of his family, he would often be self-centered and headstrong. But unlike him, though Arthit was also an only child, he was such a sensitive, soft soul. When Kongpob was adrift, Arthit knew what to help Kongpob with and when to give the help.
"Actually....before that accident, I spent almost all my money buying my dad's running shoes because his health check-up result worried me."
The present Arthit passionately explained, like a high schooler before his homeroom teacher.
"But Namtarn wanted me to go together......I couldn't refuse her...She is cherishable....I mean.....she is.....um...."
He even looked like a real teenager, who was innocent and shy, talking about his puppy love.
Suddenly, Kongpob would like to cry, holding Arthit in his arms but he knew he couldn't.
"..........You.....didn't want to disappoint her." Said Kongpob with a sigh.
"Right, P'!" And then, Arthit pressed his lips strongly. Kongpob knew why Arthit did that.
"........I like to hear you call me P'." For Kongpob, it was definitely true.
"............."
"But....... I would like you to call me......P'Kong if possible." Kongpob's eyes were gleaming with mischief, forgetting this humble situation.
"........Why do I......." Arthit seemed to hesitate.
"You want some spaghetti.....?" Kongpob asked all of a sudden.
"................N.....o..", Arthit slowly shook his head with diffidence.
"But I want it." Kongpob ordered seafood spaghetti, a Caesar salad and more coke. He didn't say anything until the dishes came out.
