Chapter 10 - Sayonara

Tay stayed in front of Newwiee's door the whole night. After chasing him and ended up stocked outside, he keeps on thinking what went wrong. What made New act with so much hurt and hatred that he won't even allow anyone to get close to him. Even his parents can't do anything to please their son.

He opened his eyes and looked at his wristwatch. He can now see the light that's slipping below the door. He stood up and again knocked on the door.

"Newwiee, please open the door." He begs as he keeps on knocking.

He was answered with complete silence. He's been there and delayed his departure. He's supposed to be leaving the resort after the event but this happened. They were happy before New excused himself to go to the bathroom.

"N-New... Please." Tay's throat is starting to hurt as he's been controlling not to tear up and determined to face New.

Newwiee made sure not to create any noise. He knows that Tay is still in front of his door. He carefully opens his bedroom door to get some water because of too much crying. He didn't get to even realize that he fell asleep. Even the moment he woke up, tears just keep on forming and wetting his bed sheet.

A week passed by unknowingly. Tay is not in front of his door for sure. He heard him talking to someone, maybe thru his phone, asking to extend his stay at the resort. He jumped, shocked the moment he gets to hear Tay's voice.

"New. I'm not sure if you can hear me or not. But please... please remember that everything's real. My feelings for you is true." New covered his mouth using both hands to silent himself. Trying not to let Tay know he's just a few meters from him.

"New." Tay called him thru the door. "I'm leaving but that doesn't mean I'm giving up. I will not give up on you, Newwiee Thitipoom. And also..." New walks closer to the door when there's a silence from outside. "I love you, New. I'll always love you that even if you hate me I'll always be here for you. Goodbye, for now, my Newwiee."

Newwiee stepped closer to his door. Touch it with one hand and the other still covering his mouth. Already sobbing again. Why does Tay have to be so mean to him? Why keep pretending when everything is not even real? And why does it hurts knowing all of it?

New once again went back to his bedroom and imprisoned himself for another crying session.

Newwie at his usual spot. By his window. There are no tears anymore. He's numb with all the crying. He just looked outside without focus. If only everything's just a dream. Or a nightmare from all the pain he experienced. But a beautiful nightmare where he can see a new side of himself. With his determination to move one, he called Sua for an appointment. He's giving the girl her wish.

Newwiee wrote down all of the things he'll do once he stepped outside his room. With mixed feeling of excitement and nervousness, he dressed up to prepare for battle. Or prepare for the new Newwiee Thitipoom Techaapaikhun. But first, he needs a makeover which Sua's been dying to do. Her wish.

Before stepping outside his room, Newwiee took a very deep breath and release it after.

You can do this, New. You can do anything. Calming himself as he opened the door.

He went directly to the salon of the resort. Yes. Their resort is a complete package. It's like a small village where you can find everything. Except for school but they also cater venue for seminars and training.

"Welcome to the place where the magic happens. Where you can get the best of the best of yourself. WELCOME!!!" Sua is standing beside the cashier with open arms and hands are waving.
