Sotus After Story

Chapter-7 Kongpob

Dreams are meant for turning them true, unless that's a nightmare & you don't want to. I've always enjoyed his company, after yearning for him for the past several months he's like the dream I repeatedly had for a long time, waiting to come true.
I felt bad for Belle, I didn't want to hurt that girl. I really didn't wanted her to leave feeling that awkward because of me. If P'Arthit didn't wanted to mention he could better ignore my identity instead of lying. That's what hurts me, or else I was okay.
Best thing about him is getting mad, that's the only time he express. He's so stubborn sometimes that I have to accept defeat to him. I know he loves that; he loves winning & I love making him win. That's how it works with us.
I wasn't really prepared to kiss him but he's so irresistible that I couldn't control my feelings. He's still so soft & warm. Touching him, & he touching me back is so much like us after so long. We had it like we never had before, I knew he like it. It was like showering him with my attention.
We lay on the bed, I closed my eyes just to relax for a while. In the meanwhile he moved a inch closer. Assuming me to be in deep sleep, he finally uttered what I was craving for the last past years. I really wanted him to say these thing to me.

The sunlight was already sparkling brightly with its charm when I woke up early in the morning, P'Arthit sleeping right next to me. One of the most pleasant moment. He slept like a kitten smoothly on the bed without moving or turning sides much. He don't even take much space, it's only me who push him in sleep. I took a towel in order to take shower, before that I even ordered for breakfast. When I got out of bathroom P'Arthit was already awake. He squinted cutely rubbing his eyes mumbled, "How can you always get up so early?"
I drop the towel by the rack as I replied, " It's a habit since childhood, I never slept till late in the morning."
"I never feel like to wake so early."
'But you used to wake so early, that's when I used to stalk you creepily."
He blushed a little as he shrugged,"I was in university that time & being the hazing leader I had to rush always from early in the morning till late at night. Though, I had to do hell lot of a work that time, but I miss it now.
'Why you don't enjoy it here?'
"Speaking from my heart, I really don't. I so much want to turn back time," he stared blankly at me with lots of emotion printed on his face. I so much wanted to console him that things will be like before, but the reality was I was not sure as he has many more levels to cross in life.
With nothing in mind to comfort him I told him,"Struggles are for real." I might sound like a poet but that's what I wanted to tell him. If we are not apart from our loved ones we don't really value them much, like that if we are always enjoying same old life then we may not like it in future. Hence, it's good to have twists even if it hurts.
Few minutes later the breakfast arrived. I served us both. I was nibbling a portion of my food when my phone beeped twice. I didn't feel like to pick it up but P insisted I should.
'Hey! Where are you Kongpob?'
"As if you don't know,M"
'Fine, I know but wanted to know when you'll be returning back?'
The food seemed to stuck in my throat as I thought of returning back, I so much wanted to stay with P.
'Can you guys manage if I can't make it today?'
M sounded so furious as he replied, 'Fine we manage it without our hazing leader!'
He was so mad as he cut the call I even lacked the opportunity to convince him.
P'Arthit looked at me, perhaps he realised why the call was for. He was sipping his pink milk as he whispered "if you have some sort of urgency then you can leave. It's okay for me."
I wanted to deny his offer but the trouble would be bad for my leadership, hence I agreed. He followed me to the airport & hugged me bye. I promised him to return soon. But I wasn't certain the "soon" will be how soon. My mid term will be within the next two months. Therefore, may be after that.
I fetched my trolley while he stood by the lobby. His figure was still visible from a long distance as he waved me bye. I wished he was with me in Bangkok, leaving him here was my worst option.
I reached few hours later in my condominium. I called M as soon as I reached, he was unexpectedly glad that I was back. I got myself ready in my uniform. Fortunately M gave me a drop to the university. We had a conference with third year juniors of our faculty & fourth years hazing leaders. They all arrived within fixed time. M dictated them all our new hazing activities which I planned recently & Oak handed over the guidelines for procedure.
The conference was over within an hour & I was left alone in the hall arranging piles of significant files. I watched the time on my cell phone & got back to work, I clearly heard a footstep not from far away from me but being engrossed over the work I couldn't turn back to see who it was. I was finally signing for an application, near to an end of my errand when someone hugged me tight from back. I was so shocked assuming who it could be that I hesitantly turned.
