Fateful Encounter (Completed)

Chapter 24

*A/N Is it just me or does Singto really become a wet blanket without Krist around 👆?

Kongpob took an open mouthed Arthit's hand and lead him out of the elevator. Arthit looked around in awe. 'Wow!' was all he could manage.

The elevator directly opened to a spacious, dimly lit, living room with floor to ceiling glass panels that over looked a capacious balcony that had a swimming pool on one side and an actual green garden on the other. 

The left most corner of the living room was obviously Kongpob's study. There were two adjacent wall sections, fitted with wooden racks, filled top to bottom with various books. A modern desk and chair set was neatly placed in between to the front of the book cases. An ultra modern PC set was placed on the desk and the study area was covered with a maroon and gray color carpet.

Just in front of the study area close to the elevator, a dark brown wooden table  surrounded by six chairs had several documents scattered about. 

'This is my space for brain storming.' Kongpob said, after seeing Arthit look at it with curiosity. Nodding his head in understanding Arthit looked towards the balcony.

The living room curtains were pulled away with lights dim enough, so that Arthit could see the city lights as well as the star lights blinking in the distance. Arthit walked towards the balcony, eager to explore and Kongpob opened the sliding doors so that he could go out side.

Arthit walked to the steel railing and looked down. He could see few people and vehicles moving about, still not ready to end their day, despite the late hour. He looked forward to see the city lights and star lights blend together at the horizon. It was truly beautiful.

He looked to the right. The blue waters of the pool contrasted beautifully with the white tiles in the  periphery of the pool. Few pool chairs were scattered around the pool area. The water of the pool was illuminated by the bluish lights that were installed, submerged around the perimeter of the pool. Arthit bent down to touch the water which felt warm and comfortable to the touch. The lights from the pool made Arthit's skin glow, making him look rather sultry. 

Looking up he noticed a separate white stoned path lead to another structure next to the pool, which appeared to be either a bath house or a sauna. He got up and walked towards it in curiosity. Kongpob walked close behind and switched on the lights inside. The semicircular room had a massage bed and a massage chair installed and an assortment of treatments neatly arranged in one corner. Two doors were seen behind the bed and the chair. Walking towards the first door Kongpob opened it for Arthit to see.

'This is the sauna and next door is the washing area. Both are connected through a door from inside.' Kongpob explained.

Arthit was still in awe and simply looked inside the wood paneled sauna and the washing area that screamed modern. Exiting the spa with Kongpob, Arthit walked to the garden area.

As soon as Arthit stepped in to the grassy floor of the garden it was like he was in a different world altogether. Numerous plants and bushes were planted thickly and artistically in the garden. Some of the plants reached more than six feet. Vines hanging from the trees and the fragrance of unpolluted air was a fresh change of scenario. For a moment Arthit forgot that he was at a penthouse apartment. Rounding a corner, where a thick bush was obscuring his view, Arthit stopped in astonished delight as he saw an outdoor daybed installed in a relatively secluded corner of the garden. The dark brown of the synthetic wicker, provided excelent camouflage to anyone looking from inside the living room. The opening faced West and the person sitting on it can get lost in the scenery of the setting sun. 

The brown and green bedding looked too inviting for Arthit to simply walk away. He laid down and rolled around a few times. The mattress and the pillows were soft and fluffy and made Arthit feel sleepy, the instance his body touched them.
