CRUSHED GOLA

I am Gay

Arthit slowly opened his eyes only to see Nobitha near him and not Kong.  Kong was standing behind her with a worried look or just he imagined it, was not sure.  Slowly, his vision became wider and wider only to see a host of students, professors and canteen staffs had gathered around as if to have a glimpse of their favourite celebrity.   He felt like a king, since everybody was looking in his direction and the moment he was on his feet, he heard cheers from the audience.  He never knew as a head hazer, he was so popular.  Kong approached with a glass of water only to be snapped by his cousin Nobitha.

Nobitha was so worried and almost screeched to everybody's ears turning deaf for a few seconds, when she saw Arthit passed out.  And what horrified her the most was that so called would be lover of hers was holding her cousin, her one and only favourite cousin.  Her anger reached its peak, since she did not like any one taking claim on her brother Art.  He was everything for her.  Even though, they did not meet often, she and her Art made it a point to meet, hang out and after exchanging brotherly affection from his side, and sisterly affection from her side, both parted only to meet again.  Both loved each other.  They did not allow even their parents to come in their way.  They could go on months without meeting their parents, but when it came to spend time with each other, they never were busy.

Kong was annoyed to the core for three reasons.

1.  The first reason was that from no where a girl came and shouted in front of his Arthit whether he was a gay and before he could reply that he was so as to send the message to Arthit since he was present there then to make that block clear.

2.  But before he could utter the girl asked her second question that if not then could he be his lover.  Kong was in a fix because he did not want to send any wrong signals to Arthit's wirless antenna about Kong being interested in the girl who was slightly crazy, NO, fully lunatic, since who in the right mind would confess openly in their not so first meeting.  Was it a meeting.

3.  The third reason was Arthit fainted and when he tried to make him sit on the chair, the girl pushed him and  she barged in as if he was her lover.

At last, he brought a glass of water for Arthit to drink so that he could feel better.  He looked better after sipping few sips, though the girl snatched from him and gave to Arthit. Kong was keeping his head cool since Arthit was present and he did not want to make him rant by arguing with the stupid girl.

Slowly everybody left them alone.  Arthit found his friends, Kong's friends and his cousin Nobitha by his side.  He mumbled he was okay and finally Nobitha managed to take him to the infirmary much to the frown that started forming on Kong's forehead.  He thanked him and left with her.  Nobitha stared back at Kong and as if through her eyes she threw daggers at him staking Arthit as hers and only hers.

Kong and his friends seated on the chairs and ordered their lunch.  Kong was in deep thought if that girl was proposing him just few minutes ago then why she was so furious when he touched Arthit. Was she a psychopath girlfriend of Arthit?  Was she blackmailing him?  Was she mentally unfit?  Was she drugging Arthit and so he fainted?  Was she making Arthit jealous since they had some arguments by proposing to some random guy?  Was she really in love his Arthit?  

Would he had to be straight forever in his life?  Would he ever get Arthit in his life?  For him, he was ready to be gay.  He did not want to be straight.  He wanted to be gay.  He was gay and he would be gay.  He would not allow Arthit to be with anyone else except  him.  He suited better on him than on her. 

Two later days, Arthit was back in his college campus along with his cousin and that time something really strange happened to  him.  As they were walking towards the canteen during recess, they saw a man  of 20 years approaching them and his full attention was on his cousin Nobitha.  He came closer and closer much to Arthit's dislike.  He came very close to Nobitha and said,

"To answer your question, whether I am a gay, yes I am and I can be gay only for one man in my life.  Hope you got your answer miss ..............."  Arthit was pleasantly surprised that the information which he was trying very hard to know, he got it so easily from the horse's moth, but next moment, his face fell when he knew that Kong already had a boyfriend as well.  But then he was confused whether Maprang's information was false or Kong's?

"Only for one man, who is he?  Where is he? If he is not here then ditch him and be mine.  I can make you my lover".  chirped NObitha.

"But you already have a boyfriend", looking at  Arthit's direction.  For which both Arthit and Nobitha laughed harder and harder, even clutching their stomachs.  After her bout of laughter subsided she declared to the confused boy that Arthit was her cousin.   But Arthit was still laughing louder and harder.
