Memories Of Us

Chapter 8 Feels Familiar

Arthit arrived at their home with a positive aura. At least he now has work to occupy his mind and not dwell on his situation with Kongpob. He called out his mom and dad to announce his arrival. "I'm home mom, dad... I'm hungry already where are you, I also want to sleep after dinner as I am so tired." But no one answered, when he was about to call his parents, he received a message from his mom. "Arthit, baby your dad and I are out there is food in the microwave we just need to settle somethimg with someone. Would you want something when we get back? How about your favorite pink milk." Arthit replied excitedly "Yes mom please, I will wait for my pink milk and I have stories to tell you since it is my first day at work." All alone Arthit ate his dinner took a shower and went to his room. Then his phone beeped "How are you P'Arthit? How was your first day at work? I've missed you P'Arthit. I still can't go back as I am busy but please wait for me my love." Arthit despite the number not being registered was only too familiar with it, he was sure it was Kongpob's mumber. A smile formed on Arthit's lips and he replied trying to be as normal and not excited he replied."Kongpob, I am doing fine." was his only reply. Excitedly Kong replied and inqiring if his Phi has already had dinner, if he was disturbing him and if he is going to sleep. Arthit replied with small phrases "Done with dinner, nope waiting for mom and dad." Then he no longer received any messages from Kong so he was starting to panic, 15 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins still no message. Then he heard the front door open and his mom calling him. "Arthit? Your pink milk is here, I even have pork skewers." A little frustrated he went out of his room pouting. "Why is my baby pouting, don't you like your pink milk? I thought you have a lot to tell me? You seemed excited when you messaged me." Arthit kept his silence when he heard his phone's notification, he rushed to get it but was disappointed when he just received a message from his boss. "Mom I'll just finish my pink milk in my room and go to sleep." when he was half way through his pink milk he again heard his phone this time the messaged came from the person he has been waiting. "Enjoy your pink milk, goodnight my sun, see you in my dreams, I love you" Arthit looked around a bit confused checking if there was a camera hidden in his room. He was planning to ask Kongpob but decided not to thinking that he was assuming since he was drinking pink milk almost every day when they were still together. He just sent Kongpob a sticker since his Nong would be mad if he doesn't reply to his messages. On his car just outside Arthit's house Kong was holding his phone with a smile on his face.

In the morning Arthit's mom went inside his room to wake her son to prepare for work. But he did not even stir from his sleep. Then his phone suddenly rang, seeing the number he got excited and sat up on his bed to answer but the ringing stopped. After a while he received a message "Good morning my sun, wake up already or you'll be late for work. Don't forget to have breakfast. I love you P'Arthit, please take care"

Arthit went out and saw there was breakfast ready. He noticed there was soya milk and steamed egg the same steamed egg that Kongpob cooks for him. "Mom how did you cook this egg? The look and taste is very familiar?" Then his mom explained that she found the recipe on the internet yesterday and tried it today. "Don't you like it?" "No mom I really like it I am just feeling sentimental as Kong usually cooks something like this for me" His mom no longer replied but instead shoved the lunch box she has prepared for him. He was about to complain that he will just buy his lunch at the office canteen but he, remebered his mom cooked it for him so he accepted it and happily left their house.  His mom's mind drifted away as she saw her son very happy. "Yes definitely our decision was right."
