Underdog ( Completed)

Tom and Earth paused, at a loss of words.
...only a moment.

"Hey, cutie, have we met before?"
Tom came back and winked at her.

"It's Kat. Krist's sister, you damn ass."
Earth slapped at Tom.

"Eh? Kat?! Really? I had no clue!
You've changed a lot, since I met you last time."
Tom screamed with surprise.

"Changed? How? She hasn't changed anything , her body stretched out here and there that's all."
Earth laughed so hard teasingly.

"Ahem, Excuse me! I can hear you everything. Mind your own business, you two. Oh my god, Earth! You never grow up!  So rude as always.
Tom! Your mind is an open book always!"
Kat got annoyed.

" Hahah, here give me your hand, I'll help you to come cross over here"
Earth offers his hands.
"No!"
Kat hissed.
"Fine by me. Go ahead."
Earth shrugged with grinned.

"....you guys haven't changed anything.
Yeah, I remembered how you guys were used be."
Tom muttered.

Kat crossed over the fence by herself very proudly.
"Hahahha."

Earth laughed at her more.
"Shut up!"
She said to Earth sharply.

"Jeez....get a room."
Tom said to them.

"Hey!"
Earth and Kat yelled at Tom at the same time.

"So, Why were you there?"
Tom hoisting his chin to the fence and said to Kat.

"Right! I need your help! Krist is trapped at home. Pôr wants  him to be engaged Preaw. Her parents and she will come for the ceremony, tomorrow.
Pôr is insane, and of course he doesn't listen to Krist. I don't know what to do."
Kat said with her eyes full of tears.

"Oh, crap. He goes nuts."
Tom frowned.
"...let's go. P'Singto is waiting for us."
Earth said to them.
"P'Singto? "
Kat looked up Earth.
"Yes. He is the one who asked us to check
Krist out."

"Hey, are you done for today? Let's go home."
Pat said to Praew after they've done for last class today.
"Sure."
"...."
"What? What are you looking at Pan?"
"....Praew, are you sure?"
"What do you mean?"
Praew frowned.
"....about your engagement with Krist."
Pan said hesitantly.
"Oh, that? Of course, I'm so positive about it."
Praew said to Pan clearly.
"I didn't know you like Krist that much."
Pan muttered.
"What do you mean?"
Praew is getting offensive.

Pan looked at her best friend and paused a moment.
Then, she decided to go ahead and tell her thought.

"I mean.. I know you wanted to break up with Krist so many times before he starts his career as an actor. You guys have been on the break-up-get-back-together cycle so many times.
Also, you didn't care about him even you didn't call him about a month. He called you all the time. Yes, you complained one time about Krist is not calling you, but that was the first time to hear from you. So, I thought you don't like Krist as much as he likes you."

"Pan! If you are my best friend, just shut your mouth up and just celebrate me!"
Praew hissed and yelled at her.

Pan got shocked by her friend's hash words.
"Hey, are you really okey? What's happened, tell me Praew!!"
Pan grabbed Praew's shoulders and shook her.

".....Pan..I......I don't know..."
Praew said to her, with tears running down her cheeks.
"Oh, Praew.."

Peach Tree Cafe
As soon as someone sit in front of Singto, he looked up and smiled at that person.
"Nong, Kat."
Kat blushed immediately.
"P'Singto. Sawadee ka."
Kat said shyly.

"...Wow, suddenly You became so girly."
Tom rolled his eyes, sat down next to her.
"Hey! I can hear you!"
Kat hissed him.

"Chill out, people. We need talk.
P'Singto, we went to Krist's house but we couldn't meet him. Then we met Kat.
I think she can explain more about Krist."
Earth said.
"Thank you Khun Earth."
Singto smiled at him.
"Umm, don't mention it."
Earth blushed.

"Oh?"
Kat and Tom are surprised.

"P'Singto, Do you like Krist? Do you like him as a friend or fann?"
Kat asked him with shaking voice, she maintained eye contact with Singto throughout the conversation.

Singto gasped with surprise her straight forwardness.
Singto opened his mouth and closed.. then he starts to talk her with determination.

"....I like Krist. I want be his boyfriend."
Singto made eye contact with her.

"...good! I just wanted to hear it from you directly."
Kat smiled.

"...P'Singto, Krist and Praew will have an engagement ceremony tomorrow at my house."
Kat said to him.

"What?"
First, Singto didn't get it.

"Krist doesn't want to do it, but Pôr made that decision for him.
He already made proposal to Praew's parents.
He doesn't want me to be home tomorrow because he knows I won't agree with his decision.
Mâe and King went to Chiangmai to take care grandma, she broke her leg.
I try to call King but he doesn't pick up.
I also texted him, hopefully he will read it."
Kat gets overwhelmed with a sense of despair.

"Krist..."
Singto clenched his hand tight.

"Oh shit, sounds so bad."
Tom facepalmed.

"...Does Praew love Krist that much?"
Earth asked Tom.
"Huh? .."
Tom looked at Earth.

"We've known her pretty long time, but I've never thought she likes Krist so much."
Earth told everyone.

"Well, It has been a one way love affair. Krsit loves her more than she loves him .
I think they broke up more than 4 times, it's always Krist's fault and he had to work hard to get her back. I thought Krist was being manipulated"
Tom said.

"...what's going on ?"
Singto muttered.

"Okey, Krist, you needs to wear nice clothes for tomorrow, here I have new shirts and tie for you."
Early evening, Pôr walked into Krsit's room with new clothes.
"..Pôr, I don't want to get engaged with Praew. I don't love her."
Krsit tries talk to his father.

"Sheeee, Krsit, it's okey. You are just upsetting now. You know, in old days when people marry with someone, they even don't know their face before they get marry. But they find the way to love and care each other! People are happy. So I'm pretty sure you can grow your love to Preaw. You guys are couple. It's even better."
Pôr tapped Krist's shoulder and left his room.

Krist sat down on the bed, he felt extremely enthused. No matter how hard try to communicate with Pôr, he doesn't listen to him at all.
- If Pôr made me to marry Preaw, am I gong to spend with her for the rest of my life? How long is my life? 20 years more? 30 years? Even 40 years?

The mere thought of it makes himbtremble.

Saturday

"Krist! Your future wife and in lows are arrived! Come downstairs now!"
Pôr yelled at him from downstairs.

"Khrap."
- I'll refuse to be engaged with Praew. I won't listen to you Pôr! I'm not his puppet.
Krist clenched his fists.
