Chapter 10 - Weekend Part IV

Sunday

Kongpob's POV:

It's a boring Sunday. I came home to spend time with my family but got ditched instead. My parents are probably enjoying themselves on their tropical beach getaway. And Bpoo, it's been less than 10 hours from the reunion dinner and he's out again with that bunch playing golf. With a hangover if I may add.

Flashback

I'm waiting up for Bpoo now instead of enjoying my beauty sleep because I know he rarely goes out late so I was getting a little worried when he's not home yet. It's almost 1am. Where could he be?

I was out on the veranda of my room, looking out to see if I can catch a glimpse of a familiar car. As I was about to go in, I heard an engine driving close and soon a familiar car drove through the gates.

I ran down to greet him at the door. But the person standing in front of me now is beyond what I expected. My Bpoo, the reputable and mighty man that everyone knows of, reeked of alcohol and is swaying and stumbling to get from the car door to the front door. P'Nai is supporting him yet he trips occasionally while muttering gibberish.

No matter what bothered Bpoo, he would never drown himself with alcohol. Even if he drinks for pleasure, to entertain and accommodate his friends, he would still have control. I wonder what bothered him to this extend.

"Ai'Khong, my favouwite grandboyyy." He exclaims while moving away from P'Nai and dropped right into my arms. The both of us were struggling to keep Bpoo up on his two feet.

"Bpoo you rarely drink and even if you do you will never allow yourself to reach this state." I mumbled to myself. "P'Nai did something happen earlier?"

"Not that I know of young master. He was in a really good mood when I dropped him off earlier." P'Nai answered carefully, probably afraid I might reprimand him for letting Bpoo be in this state.

"*Sigh*Nevermind P'Nai. Just help me get Bpoo to his room please."

Once we reached the room, I dismissed P'Nai and told him to get some rest. I supported Bpoo to his bed and lay him down. I took off his coat and socks then unbuttoned the top of his shirt so he'll feel more comfortable. As I was about to take my leave, Bpoo grabbed my hand and shot up sitting.

"Nevew mawwy someone I disappwroooff" he slurred "I only appwove your fiancée no one else" it was a little hard trying to get what he's mumbling about but I got the gist of it.

"Okok I get it. Please get some sleep now." I answered while laying him back down and patting his shoulder lightly. Less than a minute and he's back in his dreamland.

End of flashback

Sheesh even in a drunken state, Bpoo manage to threaten and pressure me. There's nothing much to do now. I'm waiting for P'Nai to come so I can go back to my dorm. He'll fetch me after lunch and it's only 10 now. Looks like I can laze around a bit more. Maybe do some thinking. Oh no, a lot of thinking. With what just happened yesterday, I'm sure it's enough to keep me busy til the next weekend. Shia, next weekend. I'm going to meet him next weekend.

How am I suppose to win a man's heart? I don't even have a girlfriend. Well to be honest I have dated a couple of times but none lasted long. There was no 'love' I guess. I liked those girls enough to tolerate them and date them but they said our pace was slow or I don't treat them like how a girlfriend should be treated. It's like I treat them the same way I would treat any other friends except I spend more money on them and take them on dates. Apparently I did it wrong I guess.
