Calm Down Tiger

11: Alaiwa Nong!

Mark's POV

It's funny looking at this Nong's facial expressions. His face color keeps on changing like he is remembering a very dreadful experience—or maybe he really does.

"Can you snap it out?" I said using my rude tone because I think I know what he is thinking right now. "I thought Nong Cap already explained to you what happened last time when I talked to you?" I asked him so fast because I don't want to waste more time in here.

"Chai—but that doesn't mean I am not worried about you anymore, P'." Wise Nong, at least he knows not to play with the devil anymore. I smirk, "Don't worry—I won't tricked you anymore. And about the picture—Nong Cap wasn't able to explain that, khrab?"

He eagerly nods at me, "Because the picture is not real." Then I sip my oprah cinnamon chai. "What do you mean P'?" I enjoy the eagerness—meaning he is really interested at Nong Cap.

'Ai'Gun, you should be proud of me. I am scanning your Nong's suitor if he's really serious about Nong Cap or not.'

"You are very gullible, just like Nong Cap. You need to learn to stop trusting people so much." This is how I normally talk. I will say bad things about a person without hesitating, "That picture is manipulated. Aren't you even curious why Nong Cap's hair is shorter there and not yet blond?" it left his mouth hanging open, "you mean—P'—" "Chai—I am not even interested in Nong. He is not Ai'Gun, I won't lay a finger on the brother of the person I love." That has been my rule and that was the reason why I helped Nong Cap.

Suddenly, a smile creeps out of this Nong's face, "I was so scared—" he said while still smiling from ear to ear, "I let it passed for weeks because I thought Ai'Cap can explain that picture to me—" he suddenly grabs my free hand which startled me a bit, "Thank you, P'!"

I pulled out my hand so fast, "Alaiwa Nong, you're creeping me out!" I complained but he still has that smile on his face.

[alaiwa – what in Thai but informal]

August

"Aw P', is that what you want to tell me today?" Good thing he stopped side tracking already. I really hate person who easily get side track, "Good thing you asked. Well—Ai'August—one of my classmate told me that Ai'Ngern from Engineering College and my soccer team captain invited him to P'Hyuk—Ai'Gun and Nong Cap's older brother's—birthday—today." I can't believe that I am not even invited.
