CHAPTER 11: BROKEN HEARTED

OARK's P.O.V.

I was devastated after my foiled relationship with Boon. It was as if my entire world crumbled.

Good thing, it didn't affected my performance in our championship match. So after all this time, Boon was just playing tricks on us.

If not for her boyfriend Atid, Beep and I could have landed in jail. Well Boon already realised her mistakes and apologise so let bygones be bygones.

I was working out at the mini-gym of my house when my phone rang. So I stopped doing my bench press and went to pick up my phone on the table.

I was surprised to see whose the person calling me on Line App. It was Beep.

"Hello!"
"Oark, are you busy today, I mean later tonight?"
"Not really, why?"
"I saw a new bar at downtown Bangkok, you wanna try it with me?"
"Bar? I don't"
"Common Oark, I know you're depressed like me. After all we were both fooled by the same girl"
"Depressed? Not really Beep. But okay I will try the Bar with you"
"Good. So shall we meet there?"
"Okay just send me the location and what time"

For the first time, I am going to bond with Beep. I think I should give this a chance, who knows, we may become good friends like our fathers.

I arrived at the bar but Beep arrived earlier than me. So I looked for him inside the pool of revellers.

I saw him in one of the tables wearing a black leather jacket and pair of denim pants. He was on his comfortable clothes while I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and also denim pants.

"Beep!"
"Oark, I'm glad you accepted my invitation"
"I have nothing to do, so why not?"
"What would you have? It's on me."
"Are you sure Beep?"
"It's my invitation right? So it's on me"
"Okay I'll call the waiter"

I like this place because customers here don't care if Beep and I are famous athletes. They don't swoon over us for pictures and autographs.

"I like it here Beep, no one bothers us here"
"Yah were like normal beings, something we don't usually get"
"Yah... yah... by the way, how have you been after all the issues?"
"I'm good. I don't think about it anymore. How about you Oark?"
"Same here, I've moved on"

We drink and talked as if we are good friends. I realised Beep is actually cool. We share a lot in common.

He likes to play L.O.L. and he also plays basketball aside from soccer. I told him I also tried soccer before I went on to become a basketball player.

"I didn't know you tried football Oark"

"Well, that was before I chose to be a
basketball player"

"Why basketball?"

"I am an NBA fan since I was little and you can play basketball so long there is a court. How about you, why soccer?"

"It started when I was in college, when we played it in our Physical Education class. I fell in love with it."

"Question Beep, why do you hate me?"

"Who said I hate you? It's just that I feel you're my toughest competitor or maybe I was influenced by  people around us who wanted us to fight"

"Really?"

"How about you? Why do you hate me?"

"I actually don't hate you also but I don't like you either. Remember you pushed me when we were five years old?"

"Oark, that was several years ago, you should have moved on"

"I know. I already did. It's just that I am not comfortable maybe when you are around"
