I dragged my feet to the door and unclasped it. My eyes widened at the view.

Guess what. It was the same guy whom I saw outside.

"Hi I'm Phana Saetang. I stay next door." He flashed a smile.

I blinked my eyes before answering, "Oh nice to meet you. I'm Christine by the way."

"Nice. So need some hands with your stuffs?" He said while scouring the malady of my baggage.

I sighed. "Can you? I would actually prefer your help willingly," I pronounced.

"Of course! Let's get it." He sauntered in and I closed the door back.

He scrutinized the bags and spoke, "Which one do you want me to start with- clothes, books..."

"No! Not clothes! I'll handle that. You can work on the rest," I shouted at his nose.

He bursted out into a huge roar. Probably I reacted a bit too much than the actual requirement.

He somehow paused his laughter. "I know. I won't touch your feminine treasures. Don't worry. I'll go for the books first." He chuckled and got hold of a bag.

He zipped open the bag and exclaimed, "Wow! Are you a science student? I see so many books and encyclopaedias here!"

"I am," I exposed while piling up my outfits inside the wardrobe.

He hovered through the cartons which were filled up with books- lots of dictionaries, novels, encyclopaedias and journals. They were too heavy. My ligaments were almost wreaked when I was delivering them from the ground floor to the room. Hmph that's too tiring.

He held a herbal medicines book in hand and said while flipping through its pages, "I'm one too. You're interested in medicine, aren't you?"

I turned my head to his side while folding my Gucci hoodie, "Hmm? Yeah I do." I continued my job.

Half an hour delayed. Phana slapped his palms together.

"Done. So what do you think?"

"I'm done too. Just a moment please." I fixed up the light strings as a decorative to the photo wall. Switching it on I heaved a sigh, adoring the art.

"There," I aired.

Phana strolled to me. His eyes were wide open and jaw dropped. "Wooah it's so pretty! Why is the second frame empty here?"

"That space will be filled up when I find my first love. Then that duo frame will be complete," I declared giving a light beam.

The glass frames sparkled with those tiny bulbs on their surfaces.

Phana nodded his head in an up and down motion. "Hmm I'm waiting for that day to arrive. Well which school are you in? And where were you previously?"
