Reminiscence of Existence

Chapter 1

"Godt, wait! Where are you going so fast?" Tee was running after his best friend who was walking so fast along the corridor of their class. "Just feel like it." He said once Tee was arrived beside him, panting. "What that supposed to mean?" Tee who was really confused with his friend's weird action, and now weird words. Godt just shrugged his shoulder and continue walking, now on normal pace since Tee was here with him. They were just finished class for the day and it was 6.00 pm.

"Why are you always in bad mood nowadays?" They were taking a seat at the bench beside the basketball court while watching other students playing. "My dad is going to marry again. With his secretary on top of that. My mother and my brother died less than a year, Tee. Don't you think it's too much? I'm still missing them so much, I couldn't even stay long at home." Tee was sighing. He knew all about this friend of his. They were childhood friends and their family quite well off. Tee's parents had food chain company that had branches across the country. He had an elder sister who likely to take over the business when he doesn't had any interest in it whatsoever. They were taking Computer Science courses majoring in networking. But his passion also in music.

Godt's father had a pharmaceutical company. Well, originally, the company belongs to Godt's grandfather. His mother and younger brother have died in an accident together with their driver. It was less than a year, and it was still hurting him from time to time. He will cry often when he was at his home, missing his cheerful mom and playful but pampered little brother of his. And he was angry at his father who looks doesn't even affect with the loss. He will get back to work right away after the funeral and rarely be home. Tee was the one who always with him. And now, it hurts him more when his father was going to get married to another woman even before the first anniversary of his mother's and brother's death.

"What? What's wrong with your father?!" Now, instead of calming Godt, Tee was in a rage himself. Well, actually they both knew the secretary. She had been in every event at Godt's house and truthfully, he doesn't like the woman. She was like a witch, giving a negative aura every time he sees her. Now, he knew, they must have had an affair long before these things happen. If not, what's with the rush? Why they couldn't even wait at least for the first year anniversary of Godt's mother's death? It's not like it will kill them if they wait just two more months.

"I want to go home, but I don't want to go." Godt's confusing words bring Tee out from his loss in his own thoughts and rage. "What?" Tee thinks it was his favorite question of the day, listening to his best friend rambling. "I want to sleep comfortably at home, but I hate seeing that old man. He wouldn't listen to me at all. He's changed." Tee sigh again. Did his best friend just realize that his father has changed long before his mother even died? He can assume according to all the stories Godt were telling him. But he can guess his best friend was just trying to convince himself that his father was always his loving father he knew his whole life when apparently he's not.

"Let's get you to change and bring some of your clothes. I think it will be better for you to stay at my house for these few days. We need to submit our project, remember?" Tee was trying to divert Godt's attention to their studies, even though he was telling the truth. Godt can only nod and they were heading to the bus stop. Godt and Tee were actually loved taking the bus even though they had their own car. They afford either way anyway.

Godt and Tee were walking from the bus stop which quite far from Godt's house considering the residence of their house was well-off, doesn't really synonyms with a bus stop. When they had reached near the gate, they saw a young man was trying to get into the house but were blocked by the guards.

Young guy: "I want to see Mr. Aranthom! Why would he avoid seeing me? I need to see him!"

That young guy keeps pushing but just being pushing back by the guards. He had tried nonstop while yelling Mr. Aranthom's name and asking to see the owner of the house until he's been pushed and falling down on the asphalt. Seeing that, Godt and Tee was running to the guy and helping him to stand up again. "Why would you need to push him that hard?!" Now Godt was scolding the guards. "I'm sorry Mr. Itthipat, he just wouldn't listen, so we had to push him. Your father had given strict order not to let him in." The guards explained the situation to Godt.
