What Concealed Inside

The Encounter

It was the peak of hot season in Thailand and two persons are holding hands together in the shade of the trees. One of them leans his head to another person's shoulder. They were sitting on the bench, covered by a golden layer of bushes. They're standing out from all of their surrounding, their skin's white as milk and their facial features can be compared to nothing but a handful of peoples.

One of them is beautiful although he's clearly a guy, and he smiled gleefully towards another guy who's laughing at something. They really are quite a sight to devour.

White's POV

It's a beautiful noon, my Captain and i were enjoying our afternoon together and reminiscing about our days together. It's our two years anniversary and we just want to enjoy it by ourselves, alone in this forgotten place.

A lot has happened between us, and the beginning of our relationship was so rocky that we barely managed to escape. We were thankful that we're here today, in a seclusion from the world, just with ourselves, unminding about anything else around us.

My beautiful Captain has, little by little, enjoys our relationship and finally can accept his feeling for me. And i, on the other hand, slowly come to realize my border and respect towards him. I can finally control my passion towards him in a very hard way (do you know how hard not to touch that soft and tender lips? Goodness i'm thinking about it again). But that craving for him would naturally comes back if i have to be separated from him for more than some period of time 😅. So please don't let me unleash the beast by separates me from him.

"Captain, do you want to go somewhere? " I offered him to go from that place, it was nearly more than two hours already and my shoulder started to get numb.

He look at me with that clear pond full of love, and stood up. His hands extended to me, and i welcomed him.

"Let's get back to town P'. It's getting darker and i'm afraid it's gonna rain." He got his point. The weather's not the way it used to be. It's the middle of hot season so why is it so cold out here?

"Let's go." We walked hand in hand to our car, still wearing a very sweet smile.

I didn't think that it will take us a very long time to get to Bangkok from the outskirt of town, but it is. It was a very long drive, and the weather is getting worse. Rain poured so hard around us, and the road was so dark that i need to be very cautious while driving. Captain was being so unusually silent, and he wore that poker face he usually wear when he's worrying over something.

Then suddenly the sky becomes so dark and i can't see the road before us, fear consumes me like no other fear in the world, more than my fear to reptiles. It was a gripping fear in my heart, a lonesome melody keeps repeating over and over again that i need to hold onto his hands so tight.

"I'm here, P'. I can't see you, but i'm here with you. Keep going P', there will be light ahead." Captain said, encouraging me until i can feel at ease and slowly drive my car amidst the dark haze.

We can only see limited distance, only the road infront of us, everything was dark and cold that we shivered so much. I'm not sure where we're going since the road sign were nowhere to be seen. It's like we were on a deserted road somewhere, and it reminds me of some horror movie.

After sometimes we can see the road getting clearer and the sky suddenly becomes so bright that we have to cover our eyes.

Apparently he have reach the town and it's already buzzing with activities, making us wonder, wasn't it supposed to be dark since we left in the afternoon? But we didn't give it much tought, what we know was we were starving and we wanted to grab something to eat.
