Longing for Decades

Soon I'll graduate

Arthit  have everything as per the papers. Yes each person knows about the property that Arthit  holding under his  ownership , said that he is the luckiest child in this world. But it is only he knows how hollow his heart and how much he wants love. Still he portray himself as he is the happiest one . why because of Mira and all the grandparents he adopted. 

Its true that he just adopted to his situation and one sister with around 30 grandparents adopted by him. The funniest thing is that that all love him,  like they are belongs to one original family yet they are not blood related.

Arthit is now 16yr old. Its been 8yrs to his parents death. Tomorrow is his birthday. He seems to hate that day even more as time passes. No one is allowed to celebrate his birthday. But Mira and others make sure that he eat and take rest as possible in that day. They gave him sweets in the name of someone ( like someone got good job, someone gave them, someone wants to eat on behave of him because he have sugar problem.....and the reason goes on...). 

Arthit is well aware of their intentions still he can't act he knew before hand. It'll even breaks their hearts into more pieces They gave some gifts which should not standout/ expensive. He even hurt more to see that ....he is not able to be sad 100% nor he celebrate his with his heart 100%.

He always spend time alone in this day. Never try to forget about the accident and never try to smile. It is the only day he is not smiling ever since that tragedy happened with him.

........

The very next day one fine car stops in front of the house of their. Three men wearing business appeals came looking for Arthit. He very well know who they are. The chairman of the trustees, his family lawyer and his doctor.

They discussed something and Arthit signed some papers. Mira watched it from a far. It is always same for Mira. She knows that her brother is rich. Though he lived with them in this tiny old age home, but she knows that his brother love to live with them rather alone in his family house.

The three men came every year in various occasions to meet Arthit. She wants to know who they are and why every time they left her brother seems to under lots of stress. After some day's he became normal as he is.

Out of curiosity she ask after they left.........why they are here and who they are.

Arthit explained her who they are and said that he needs to go to the one of the prestigious university for further studies. After his graduation he need to leave for city.

She wants go with him but she knows that she need to complete her highschool. So she nodded as she hear it and said that OK.. Brother go their... I'll visit you sometimes and after my graduation I'll join you their. Saying that she happily leave from the side of Arthit now.

As she turn and leave .......... The action of her triggered his memory to his past.....

~~~~~ flashbacks

Where he lost his parents and the only person never judge for who he is / how rich he is. The only true friend he had. A child who just love to spread happiness. He is the person teach him to be strong and never act like you are sad. 

Why? When Arthit asked , he replies that when someone saw you sad then those who know you or care about you would be sad. 

But I have no one who wold think about me..so.....Arthit said in a faint voice. Still he hear and hugged me and said from this moment I'll be the one for you.

Remembering the past he shook his head and sigh heavily. He wiped his worry by simply closing his eyes and again go through some file those are given by the people he mate.

................

Arthit is a very good student. After the accident he just living as a very ordinary life. He use approx...200$ ( max) per month( which is his pocket money given by the chairman). He need not that much of money. He got his meal tickets for lunch and for breakfast, dinner .....he eat as it available in the old age home. So practically he saved some money from the pocket money. Mostly he spend around 5/10$ maximum in some months.

That's why he have money for ordered some foods, which practically full the dining room of their home. All kinds of food is there. Some of orders are only for him which are seems super spicy. He spend a lot that day out of blue.

He love spicy food but because his home full of old people, he used to have bland and stemmed foods. Well he used to it from hospital, for sometime where he spend. He got severe headache with depression. His business trustees admitted him in a hospital and for therapeutic treatment. 

Due to that he usually never complained about food but on the last day of  finals of his highschool he ordered lots of spicy food ranting over the bland food of home. 

All are in surprised, why he just rant over something that he used to. It's not in his personality. Something must bothered him, all think and nodded each other to go with the flow.

Arthit just wants to cry but don't wants to be alone. His mother promised him that she always be there for him when he step into the important parts of life. Like that when he remembered it, he wants to be pampered by everyone. But its not in his personality to cry over such thing in front of them. He is not like Mira.

Now he just cry in the name of super spicy food. His heart bleeds but he always plastered a smile in his face. But his smile never reaches to his eyes.

It was the last day of his highschool life.

................

The dilemma is he love engineering. Specially Industrial management captured his mind. He need business management degree. Which one to fill.
