Bunch of Joy: MingKit Part

CHAPTER 3

Kit's POV

It's the last term in this year and we have almost a month. I repeat A MONTH to spend to lazy around and I hope to all the kind of God that I could go vacation. But, it's seems that God think my sincerity become less when I pray to him so he kind of punish me by sending this childish kid in my parent's door first thing in the morning.

Haaaah ... It's sure will be the long day.

After make sure that I tidied my kitchen up after I bake a cheesecake, I bring my mug and sit across Ming, who now look all depressed.

Carefully, I sip my milk and put a side.

"The cake will cry you know."

"Huh."

At least he still listens to me.

"Why so quiet Ming?"

"Nothing."

"Really?"

And the stupid kid remains silent.

I look at him carefully.

This morning, he knocks my parent's door at 7 mornings with his usual cheerful smile and loud voice. He also brings the official letter of acceptance from Friday to show at me. I promise him a cheesecake after breakfast.

He chirps nonstop about how shocked his parents, sister, brothers even his friends and teacher at school while I prepare breakfast. Ming still talks enthusiastically about his result when my father and mother down to the dining table.

"You're so early Ming." My father greets him.

"Uncle Song, Aunty Gyp swadeekrub. I want to show my test result to Kit."

"How about it?" My mother asks.

Tsk, they only pour gasoline to the fire and as expected, Ming continues to rambling about his result.

Now, the morning birdie suddenly quiet.

"Friday only have class in Monday till Friday right? You could go back home in Saturday, Bangkok is not that far."

Ming look startled with my words and honestly so do I. I didn't know that I hit the nail on my first attempt.

"..."

I heard him mumbling something but I can't hear that, "What?"

"I say I am not sad about that."

"Then?"

"I just sad that we'll be apart."

Tsk, "As I said, Bangkok is not that far, only two hours by bus. You could back home in Saturday and back again at Bangkok in Sunday."

"But-"

"Don't but, and why you so sad that we'll be apart. I bet aunt Yaya more worry to let his childish kid stay alone at Bangkok."

"My mom wouldn't be sad, he met me everyday." Ming look at me, "But I only met you at weekend, that's why I am so sad and lifeless."

Lifeless? Where did he learn such word? Tsk.

"She is your mother, of course she will be sad."

"Well, I can't help it then if she sad, it's mother's instinct anyway," Ming lift his shoulders, then he looks at me, "But I don't wanna sad because I can't see you."

My head start to throb. I am so done with this kid. I didn't know his way of thinking. I message my temple gently.

"What if I drop the-"
