Longing for Decades

A sweet stranger

It's the third day in New York. The event actually create a big space in the mall. Now the photos taken by the director before coming to this country was placed in the different area of the mall and their billboards. The next part to go to some schools to promote the items for the young and adolescent ones.

The director informed me regarding the schedule. Today the staff need time to prepare some gifts and other things to attract the students. They need to contact the schools and schedule according to them. For all this they need two days. That's why they gave Arthit one day to free. And another to photo shoot with trying different style for next events.

After 4pm ... Arthit wants to go for a round. Its his first time here. He doesn't know  anyone or the roots. Still he can manage to go for a ride. So he decided to go another malls to look and understand what Ronjanaputs mall need to develop. It'll be a help as a market research also.

Arthit visit some of malls and their stores. For almost 4 hours he visit one place to another. It's 8pm now he is hungry now. So he wonder what to eat, suddenly one of the ice cream store attract him. The store have a big pink milkshake poster. He landed there as his feet automatically dragged him there. He order some food and enjoyed with reading some cownerbooks.

His feet felt something that is under the table, when he looked it was a paper bag and a mobile which having 40 missed calls. He found that and try to look for its owner, couldn't found. Then it rang once more.

" hello" A

" who is this? Where did you find the phone. "

" oh...sir ..are you the owner of the mobile " A

" yea and give me my mobile. Don't try to sell or damage that one. If you like I'll give you money but please give that to me." In an arrogant tone.

" hello sir.....care to speak with me. Otherwise. " A

" no...no... Say what you want to say " in pleaded tone

" first of all I am sorry that you lost your mobile. It must be important to you. But I won't do anything to your mobile. I found it under my table while I eat here......wait where is it? " A

" you don't know the place yet ....." In an astonished tone.

" wait sir before you imagine anything listen all. ( ummm hello where is this place exactly? Asked some stronger and got the address) well this is _______ mall's cafe, 3 rd floor. A big pink milk poster.." A

" ohh yaa I know that place. I was there earlier about 6 hours back." Cut arthit's word and said....

" yes and you forget it and now accusing me for finding it" A

"No ...I just." In sorry tone.

" cut the crap. I am giving it to the counter, you can collect it from there" A

" no.. Nooo. No...nnnnnooo.......don't do that. Actually I am not in town. I came for countryside for some personal work and it'll take a week to me go back."

" so what do you want????" A

" ummm if possible can you have it for me. I think you are a good guy and you can protect my cell."

" hunnnnn!!!! Are you out off your mind. How can ? By the way what's there to protect?? Don't tell lies like you are a detective/ you have evidence against some biggest crimes. I am not going to fall for that." A

" no... But ummm. I...I ..I have my boyfriend photos there more like my crush's pictures are there. "

" ohh..... OK but when you are coming. I am not from here. I'll be here for next 2 weeks only." A

" OK then informed me when you back. I'll let you know where to find! " A

" bye" A

Arthit end call a and think that what a weird guy, he thought but smile when he remembered how the guy want to protect a picture collection of his crush.

The next day when he wake up he saw there was 2 messages in the cell inbox which he found. As soon as he opened it a smile automatically placed in his face.

" hello sweet stranger. Have a good night ." 1st message

Last night that guy gave him the password of his cell. When arthit asked he said he believed him.

 " by the way the photos are also protected and it opens only by his fingerprints. So don't worry , you never will get the chance to see my crush's pictures. I'll be in touch with you. Who knows if you getaway with my cell. I am the clingy type so beard with me. "  arthit remembered the late night talk with that guy.

He opened the 2nd message...
