I have waited for him for many human lifetimes, waited so long for him to fulfil his promise, waited for him to come back to me. I kept walking in the dark, in the cold, alone.
"The soul can not die, his soul will return."
But there are secrets and...
"The legendary five." She chuckles greeting us. "But P'Arthit, it's my birthday and I wanted to dance with all of you."
The first time they met, she told him he was cute and she loved him. He was too shocked she didn't run away screaming only to be hugged. He didn't know why but seeing her, made him feel safe.
"Dance with me Nami dear." Bright smiles.
"It's a must." She looks at Bright. "We need to talk, don't even think of running from me."
"I have somethings to take care of." I tell her. "I will dance with you next time."
She stands in front of me her smile gone, her eyes have a strange silver light.
"There is going to be a moon tonight." Her eyes shimmer. "It hasn't been seen for 206 years, but it's coming especially for its sun."
My feet don't move, words ringing in my head. Why did she say that? Why 206?
"Since you're the sun, I'm your moon...?"
"The two never meet."
"You say heartless things P'Arthit." He whispered pushing me back on the bed. "We live in the same sky, even if you hide, I'll find you."
"Arthit?" Knott's voice brings me back. "Shall we..."
"Where did she go...?" I ask when I don't see her. "Where...?"
"Into the house..."
I try to run inside but Knott and Prem pull me back just as I hit the wards, pain ripping through me but I need to know.
"Nami..."
She stands just inside the doors. "I'm busy P'Arthit, let's talk after I cut my cake."
"Arthit..." Knott sounds scared.
"When will she cut the cake?"
"The party at the mansion." Bright says quickly.
"Let's stay until then."
~~~
She turns smiling when I grab her wrist, she's been hiding from me.
"Just in time, I'm going to cut my cake and the gifts are coming in." She tells me. "Come listen to this song with me."
"Nami..."
"You can't go back from the beach this time." She says softly. "You need to walk across the pebbles and in through the door she opens for you."
"You..."
"Listen carefully P'Arthit. It's time to stop fighting, and let the light in."
The cords of a guitar hum in the distance, a song drifts through the air, the soft voice sings to be allowed to let love walk in.
He turns as though he is in a trance, his steps slow as he heads towards the person sitting on the high chair singing into the mike as he plays. I know this voice; it haunts my dreams to this day. I circle the singer, my body trembling as I take the last few steps and the face comes into view.
My knees give way as I fall to the ground, the voice stops halfway through the song to look at me. there looking back at me was the man who occupied my waking thoughts, how was it possible? The one sitting with the guitar was him, it was his Kongpob.

With this, we come to the end of another book. I'm happy and sad at the same time and my determination not to cry didn't work >.<
