THE LAST DAY

Arthit was still in the park mentally where he left Kong.  His mind and heart were still on the lips that kissed him.  Arthit felt very excited, elated, animated and above all happy with his lips, since his first kiss was with the person who he liked, no loved.  He was so thrilled that he was kissed by Kong.  But when reality dawned on him that he was kissed not as Arthit but as Kong's lover, he felt culpable for coming in between Kong and his lover.  He became silent and laid on his bed with his eyes closed trying to calm his mind and heart and to get rid of his guilt as well.

It was almost 10 in the evening, when someone knocked at his door.  Arthit thought that it would be Nobitha, without being prepared for the attack from his enemies, he answered the door, only to be shoved by Nobitha, followed by Prem and Knot.  The three walked in and with their attitude, behaviour and faces, Arthit understood that he would be killed that night either by Nobitha, Prem or Knot.  Probably, Prem and Knot would not kill him, but of Nobitha, he was not sure.

All three circled him.  They went round and round like in a horror movie being trapped by the evil spirit, no but evil spirits. 

"Arthit, you just kissed my love".

"Arthit, you are my fiance, how can you betray or rather cheat on me".

"Arthit, forget these two morons, don't you understand, you thick head, Kong is trying to seduce you, he is trying to use you, he is a gay, and you are not, at least not for him, but you are for ME, alone.  Probably, he just wants a one night stand with you.  How can you give away yourself, when I am there for you".

"Arthit, forget what Knot is saying, he is stupid",

"Nobitha, do not call me stupid in front of  my lover.  I should keep up my image.  I will protect Arthit from the evil clutches of Kong.  I am an intelligent lover, I can read other's minds who try to cast evil eye on my lover".

"You two fools, leave my husband alone, he is betrothed to me already.  HOooooooow many timmmmmmmes do I have to tell you both.  You stupid, idiots, assholes and....................... he trailed on loudly, guess what his voice could beat microphone as well.".

Arthit, Knot and Nobitha closed their ears because it was too much for them to hear Prem's swearing.  Prem called so many names that most of the meaning was not known even to them.  At last, they decided to take a break and sat on the floor with Prem ranting at the top of his voice, when the door bell was rung very violently, and on opening by Prem, since he was near to the door, a very fat middle aged lady slapped Prem hard on his cheek and warned him to keep his mouth shut and disappeared .  Before anyone could understand what happened, the woman marked her fingers on Prem's cheek and left in huff warning Arthit with her index finger directed towards Arthit.  Arthit was so pissed off with all the drama that he thought of taking a break himself from all those plays.

Prem, when sensed what happened to him, closed the door behind him and started wailing and crying at the top of his voice, but when he again heard the knock, he slowed down his tearing and sat down near Knot.  Knot seeing Prem in that condition felt sad for his friend.  Since he could very well relate Prem's situation to his.  It was not easy to get slapped randomly by an old lady in front of his husband.   Knot was horrified by his own thoughts, he starting cursing him as to how he could believe that Arthit was Prem's husband.  He thought might be because  he was hungry as he did not have his dinner running after those two fools, one Nobitha and other Prem.  

Knot lend his shoulder and Prem took his support and cried to his heart's content laying his head on Knot's shoulder.  He felt overwhelmed by his friend's action.  In spite of being rivals, still his friend lend him his shoulder to cry.  Frustrated by the scene enacted in front of her, Nobitha took Arthit to the kitchen and made her  ultimate move  to get her love Kong, and separate Kong from Arthit.  Since, she knew, from that so called make out that Arthit had fallen for Kong and Kong's so called gay would be boyfriend was Arthit.  

Nobitha loved Arthit but to live life happily she needed a boyfriend, not a brother.  With her character, she thought Kong was the most suited one.  The next day would be her last in that campus and before she left the campus, she would make sure if she did not have Kong, she would also not allow Arthit to have him.  She knew she was selfish, but after all everything was fair in love.

"Arthit, listen to me, I know you love me and your love is pure.  You will not let anyone hurt me".

"I love you, since I have spent some wonderful childhood days with you.  I will not allow anything happen to you".

"Believe me, Oon, I am a real bitch when it comes to flirting any guy in my campus or wherever I find guys, since I believe, men are meant to be dancing on my finger tips since they are basically stupid and wolfish creatures, leaving yoouuuuuuu, don't glare at".

"This is sexist remark, Nob, not all are same, take for example, Kong, he is a gentle man.  He loves his lover only".

"(to herself)How can Oon be so much stupid as not to realize that Kong loves him.  Anyway good for me".

"That's why  I say, Kong is best suited for me.  After meeting him, my estimation of men has changed, I love him really and if he becomes my boyfriend, I will mend my ways and become a good daughter, sister and a lover.  Please help me bro, I want him in my life.  Tomorrow is my last day here, and if he does not come to me, which I am sure you will make him come to me, I promise you will not see me alive".

Saying that Nobitha went to the adjoining room and closed the door leaving Arthit more confused, angry, guilty, upset, sad and moron thinking that Kong would never be his.  As he thought earlier, he was finally killed by his cousin Nobitha.
