Krist arrived home at night, he found Singto sitting in the living room while watching the TV.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home," Singto replied shortly. "Where did you go today?"

"I went out for a walk." Krist smiled at him.

Singto check on him for a while and asked. "Seems you're not in the good shape, something bothers in your mind?"

"Really? Do I look so stressed?"

Singto nodded lightly. "Have you eaten?"

"No, I don't have an appetite," said Krist then throw his body to the sofa beside Singto. He crossed his finger on his lap and sighed for a while. "I'll leave for Bangkok."

Singto seems surprised a bit. "Any words from there? How long you will go?"

"Just for a few days, to take care of something."

"I understand. When will you be off? Have you got the day off from your workplace?"

"Maybe in these few days. I haven't talked to them."

Singto nodded again. "So, something happened in Bangkok?" he asked worriedly.

"I need to visit someone, a personal matter."

"I understand."

They sat silently for a few minutes, then Krist raised the question again. "P'Sing, may I ask something?"

"Yes?"

"Do know any woman in your life?"

Singto giggled for a while before answering. "Of, course. I know a lot of women, like models, singers...they are all the customers at the gallery." 

Krist rolled his eyes and he asked the next question. "Do you know anyone around you that seems to be trying to get your attention?"

"What do you mean?"

"Such as someone or a woman who always visits the gallery, like every day, and seems interested in you?"

"Wait, is this going somewhere?"

"Just answer my question!" he is impatient. "Seriously, do you ever have a relationship with anyone?"

"Why do you asking me this?" Singto protest. "Is there any relation with your personal problem so you want to ask for my experience?"

"No! I-I'm just curious, what kind of life do you live in your time!" Krist replied emotionally.  "You seem to live in your own world, without a friend, no lover, no dreams, and no future! How this can be called a life?!"

"Oh! So, you investigating my personal life now?" Singto questioned curiously. "Who are you, to ask?" Singto yelled in anger.

Krist realizes that he's out of bounds and gets very emotional, so he calmed himself and take a deep breath. "I'm sorry..." said Krist regretted.

"No, you're right about me, my life doesn't have any color or taste, pretty much all the same, before I met you. The only difference that came to my life is you."

Krist was surprised by Singto's words. "Is that mean something?"

"I don't think it can mean something, I'm just saying..." he trailed off for a second. "Because, we do not live in parallel time, I'm sorry..."

"You're not sorry.  We maybe not live in a parallel time, but don't we talk to each other now? don't we know each other? don't we belong to this place?" said Krist emotional.
