OTHER HALF ( Kongpob | Arthit )

43. " the pain of losing the one you love "

It's the last day of the burial for Namtarn, Nam and arthit. Kongpob's still the same since the day arthit died he didn't say much and just looking at arthit inside the casket, he's been like that since the very first night he doesn't leave arthit's remains even just for a second even when forth, ming or his parents tried to talked him out of it and take even just a little bit of rest however, he's adamant in refusing and staying with his lover.

The burial is a simple one just with his parents and some close friends, kongpob didn't want unrelated people to know about it and want it to be just a private burial just with people that arthit really has a close connection with like arthit's friends.

What they didn't expect specially kongpob that the news of the burial would still get to the ears of those elders from the perawat clan and that they even has the gal to walts in the burial where his beloved ( arthit and Namtarn ) are resting.

Seeing them makes kongpob really furious especially by the way they act as if they are now above of everything or everyone. For the first time kongpob left arthit's side just so he could face those thick face elders. " what the fuck are you doing here?! " he ask not even trying to hide his hostility, Karl holds kongpob shoulder even so he doesn't stop his son for showing his hostility at the elders.

The 2nd elder scoffs." heh... what's this? I didn't know that the heir to the prachaya's clan is this rude, are you trying to pick a fight to us... The elders ?! " kongpob glare at the 2nd elder." you think I'm scared of you people! "

" you bastard! " feeling humiliated in kongpob's attitude the 2nd elder got pissed and really like to attack kongpob who just looks at him apathetically while Alfonso finds kongpob's demure and attitude amusing. He laughs shallowly." now, now... 2nd elder don't be rude..." he looks at Karl one that showing his malicious. " well, we just came here to know why the prachaya's clan holding a burial for the traitors of our clan "

Karl didn't even bother to evade the look he's receiving and just let out a fake smile." so what? What's wrong with that? I knew those people that's why I gave them burial, is that wrong? This is our land we get to do whatever we want can't we?!" he sounded so unbothered.

Alfonso let slide the sarcasm of Karl's words and just nods his head while humming, while the other elders are obviously not liking the disrespect that their getting even one bit." hmmm, you're right... There's nothing really wrong with it, however, aren't you afraid that we could misunderstand it? Misunderstood that you're trying to oppose us and breaking our treaty. "

Kongpob stunned as a realization came to his mind. That's right the treaty, I forgot about it our people will suffer too if the treaty break because of how I acted and it'll cause to a war. A hand that squeezing his shoulder pull him in his thoughts along with a smile that as if telling him ' it'll be okay son, we're not weak to be afraid of war and our people will understand that ' from his father that reassuring him.

Karl step up in front of Alfonso, his hands both on his hips. " you know, I let you ran off your mouth and you already taking me as a pushover? But let me tell you something " he glare at the elders up and down. " you've been pissing me off even before! And I don't care even if you misunderstood or whatever, the one I made a treaty and alliance with is with Earn I could care less even if you people wedge war against us! You think we're scared " he smirks.

The elders and Alfonso's fuse finally snaps they're already in a fighting stance with their claws unleashes." you dare bear your fangs against us, we'll make you regret it. " the 5th elder growls.

" Woah, now... Now, I advise you guys to stop right there, just leave and don't cause trouble or scene here... Stop disrespecting the burial of my son's mate or else... " Karl flick his fingers and with just a flick of his fingers, men's in suits and some of kongpob's friends who're the son's of the 3 alpha's and beta come running surroundings the elders and some of their men. " you wouldn't be able to step out of our territory... You see, we're all still mourning the loss of our loved ones, so just get lose alright. " he smiles a sarcastic one even so he still looks threatening and stern.

The elders gritted their teeth and clench their fists as they groan inwardly while seeing how many people are already ready to have skirmished with them. " let's go... We're still not finished high alpha of the prachaya's " Alfonso stutters as he turns his back and walks away from the scene and hops in their car the other elders following him closely.

Karl sneers." Hah! Whenever you want... " he mutters and turns his attention towards kongpob." now then, let's go back. " he said and the men's in black disperses.

Meanwhile, forth and others that from the perawat clan just watched the whole thing, even if they want to get involved they can't... They all know that included those who are from the prachaya's that's why ming told them with a smug face, even raising his eyebrow. " don't do anything, Just watch leave it to the high alpha we know that Y'all are in a difficult situation too "

**********

And finally, the moment that kongpob didn't really want to come... Finally came... The eternal goodbye that he has to bid to his lover whether he likes it or not.

Kongpob's tears seems have run out, even though he wants to cry, even though the scene he's witnessing is ripping his heart, his tears... Still wouldn't come out somehow he feels paralyzed as he watches arthit's ( namtarn and Nam ) coffin going down in the middle of the earth while their friends throwing flowers along with their farewell messages and grief to their loss, the place becomes filled with cries of this... mourning peoples...

Seeing kongpob like this makes his closest friends be worried more because more than anyone they expect kongpob to cry the most, for them it's better if kongpob would do just that... To let everything out and not keep it to himself like what's he's currently doing.

********

One year later.

It's been a year since arthit died it's also almost a year since kongpob banish from everyone's sight without a single word.

The month after arthit's death kongpob didn't want to left his room, he wouldn't let anyone in or talked to anyone, all the curtains in his room are closed off not even letting a single ray of sunshine in, he wouldn't eat or turn on his lights for that matter, he just sat in one corner of his room staring at arthit's photo and the necklace that he had received from arthit.

After trying to make kongpob out of his room or console him for some time, His parents then decided to just leave their son alone for awhile knowing that what their son's has gone through is not easy. However, they didn't expect or consider a single factor and that's... Kongpob choosing to leave... And to leave without anyone knowing...

The night kongpob left he just left a single letter to his parent's bedroom door that his parents found the next morning they woke up, in that letter it said, " I'm sorry if I'm just leaving like this, but... Mae... Por... It hurts so much that I feel like I'm about to go insane... So, I want to leave this place for a while, I want to be alone... So, please... Please don't look for me. "

When his mother had read it she can't stop her tears to fell non-stop and so the husband and wife decided to do just what their son's want.

Even though it's true that his parents left him alone for the Time being but it isn't the case for his friends especially Ming And forth who are even now are still trying to trace him and find even the small spec of tracks that he left behind.

They understand how kongpob needs to be alone that's why they leave him alone for the first month after arthit's death however they never expected for kongpob to take an extreme action such as running away from everything, he even changed his cellphone number and the most thing they couldn't take it is the fact that kongpob withdraw from their University without even talking with them at all.

***********

As if in rage, the heavens started letting out roars of thunders and lightning, hitting some trees and a particular place... a place somewhere inside the prachaya's territory, it hits the land repeatedly stirring up that cold earth... Where arthit's body is dwelling....
