GAP (Way to our happiness)

25.

One day left Arthit's bandages will be removed. He was happy that Kongpobe was back to his old self. Now that he knows he really wanted to spend most time with Kongpobe but because of studies and work it was a bit hard. And the thing made him most sad is that Kongpobe is not only again bailing on the hospital trip with him he is also staying over his friend's house due to a upcoming project.

Tomorrow is Arthit's appointment he was happy until Kongpobe left. The room was feeling very spacious and I bed seemed too big for him.
He kept changing sides but couldn't fell asleep. And he knew Kongpobe couldn't and wouldn't fell asleep too.

He started feel uneasy in the spacious room so at midnight he knocked on Mr Sutthiluk's door. Mr Sutthiluk opened the door and saw Arthit standing there.

"Is everything okay son? Do you need anything?" Mr Sutthiluk asked.

"I'm sorry to bother you Pa. But I can't sleep." Arthit said looking at his feet.

"It's okay come in." Mr Sutthiluk stepped aside to let him in.

Arthit went in and sat on the bed and Mr Sutthiluk sat beside him.

"Is something worrying you?" Mr Sutthiluk asked.

"No it's just I'm not used to sleeping alone."

"Then how did you sleep before coming here?" Mr Sutthiluk couldn't help but wonder.

"I never slept at night before I was too afraid to sleep at night." Arthit said fiddling with his fingers.

"Wait." saying Mr Sutthiluk walked to the closest. He opened it and took out a body pillow. "Here." Mr Sutthiluk gave it to Arthit.

"A body pillow?"

"It was Kongpobe's when he was little. He stopped using it when he was 5. He used to kick everything out of his side." Mr Sutthiluk chuckled and Arthit giggled with him.

"Pa.."

"Hmm?"

"Can I stay with you tonight?"

"Sure son." saying Mr Sutthiluk patted his head and got to his side of bed and leaned on the headboard.

"Thank you Pa." Arthit smiled happily and lied beside Mr Sutthiluk hugging the body pillow.

"Don't thank me. It's the least I can do when my son isn't here." Mr Sutthiluk smiled down at Arthit and started running his fingers through Arthit's hair.

"Pa tell me some more stories of P'Kong's childhood." Arthit's eyes were shining brightly.

"Ah Kong he was such a bright kid. Always running around the mansion. Hiding behind the flower bushes. Every time he fell while running he would start laughing and run to his mother. He wouldn't even notice the cuts until his mother was applying ointment." Mr Sutthiluk continued until he noticed that soft snores was coming from the latter. He smiled and tugged him under the covers.

In the morning Mr Sutthiluk and Arthit went to the hospital. Arthit had a X-ray and some other check ups. By the time they were done it was only a hour before lunch.

Arthit was about to get in the car suddenly someone covered his eyes with their hands.

"Huh!? Who is this?" Arthit asked a bit panicking at the sudden darkness.

"Shhh I know you hate dark but can you bare with me sometime. I promise it will be good."

"P'?!" Arthit recognized the voice.

"Don't be afraid I will just blindfold you for some time." saying Kongpobe blindfolded Arthit.

"Okay." Arthit nodded and felt that he was lead to the opposite direction. And soon he was in a car. "What about Pa?" Arthit asked getting inside.

"He knows don't worry."

"Okay." Arthit nodded and sit back he looked clam but his heart was beating fast.

Arthit didn't knew how long it was but after it felt like forever the car stopped. Arthit got down with the help of Kongpobe but still blindfolded. He felt a tug on his hand and was lead to somewhere. After sometime Arthit handed was let go.

"Remove the blindfold after counting to ten."

Arthit nodded and started counting. He removed the blindfold and it took a moment to adjust to the light. He the noticed he standing at the center of a garden surrounded with flowers. There was flowers of every color. It was so beautiful he couldn't help but smile.

But when he looked around Kongpobe was nowhere to be seen.

"P'!!" Arthit called and suddenly water was sprayed above him. It wasn't enough to wet him. After a moment why the water was being sprayed.

The water made a rainbow and Arthit was standing at one end of it. Then his eyes followed where the other end was and he spotted Kongpobe there.

Kongpobe walked to him looking very handsome in suit smiling and his hands behind his back.

"P'Kong what is this?" Arthit asked his legs almost gave at the set up. Kongpobe didn't answer instead he took a deep breath.

"Arthit have you ever heard if you can get to the end of a rainbow you will find a pot full of gold and luck that last forever."

"I guess so." Arthit said not understanding where the conversation was going.

"Thank you for coming into my life." Kongpobe said revealing a dark pink rose in his left hand.

Arthit took the flower unable to speak. Kongpobe continued.

"Making my life lively again." There was a green rose in Kongpobe hand.

"For being my friend." A yellow rose was handed to Arthit.

"Making me realize what is love at first sight." A lavender rose.

"Please don't ever think I'm being sympathic. I just love your purity and innocence." A white rose.

"Admire your gentleness." A light pink rose.

"Love your enthusiasm." A orange rose.

"Love how every day is full of excitement with you." A salmon rose.

"I'm charmed how thoughtful you can be." A cream rose.

"How unconsciously beautiful you are." A burgundy rose.

Arthit had ten roses of different colors and his face tinted red. The roses almost made a bouquet. Kongpobe took another deep breath.

"At last. I love you. My one true love." Kongpobe said and took out a beautiful red rose from the left side of his suit and handed him 11 roses declaring his love to the person infront of him.
