"I'm Win's boyfriend" I know, i don't have the right to get and to feel jealous but i can't. I ran as fast as I could and left them into the field

"Bright? Are you okay?" My mom asked as she opened the door and saw me. I didn't reply to her, instead, I went to my room and locked it.

It's not possible for him to meet new people and to experience new things. It's been six years since they left our town. Bangkok is damn big after all.

"Honey, are you okay? What's going on?" My mom asked me while knocking the door

Right, i don't have the right to feel jealous because I'm not the only guy he met in his whole life. I stood up, and plastered a facade smile, and opened the door

"Are you okay?" My mom asked as she puts her arms into my face

I smiled weakly and nodded "Uhm, it was just, I'm in a hurry" I stated and looked at her

"Are you sure? You can tell me anytime" My mom initiated. I reached for her hands and held them "You don't have to worry, Mom."

"It's the first day of the cropping season, your Dad and I will probably busy harvesting the crops" My mom stated and I still holding her hands

"That's great! Let me know if you need my help" I replied

"Aren't you finish writing the novel you are writing?" said mom

"Ah, you mean Summer? No, the publisher hasn't contacted me yet so I still have time to help you"

"How about Win? Are you guys okay now?" My mom asked once more

"Uhm, we are good. Uh, I smell something is burning, are you cooking rice mom?" I added and sniffed because something was really burning

"Hoi, I have to go the kitchen" She exclaimed and immediately went down to the kitchen. I closed the door and went to the window near to my bed

When you are looking for something that will make you happy, make sure it is a THING. The silliest act a person can do is to make the person they love to be the center of their happiness and when that person left them? They will fall and crawl to the ground and starting to lose their selves.

I stared at the sunset and let the dark clouds dominate the orange sky

"Don't think of that too much" I uttered to myself self trying to console my own.

"Bright?" A voice knocked from my door

"Son? I brought you coffee" My Dad said and I immediately opened the door and I saw him smiling wide at me

"Here" Dad lend me a cup of coffee and he freely entered my room and sat to my bed. I went to his side and he looked at me

"I saw you running earlier from the field. I also saw Win trying to chase you" My Dad said and sipped his coffee.

I rolled my palm into the side of the mug

"It was just a misunderstanding" I reasoned out and smiled at him

My Dad took a deep breath and looked at his coffee and blows it

"A guy asked me if I know the person he's looking for" My Dad stated and bails out his attention to his coffee and he looked at me
"He showed the picture of Win" He added

"That? It's not a big deal" I said and sipped into my coffee

"You're bad at lying, son" My Dad uttered out of nowhere

"Uhm? It's true Dad, I'm really fine" I said and he patted my back

"You don't have to tell yourself you're fine. You are human, son. What you feel is valid" My Dad with his consoling words.

I stared to my coffee not replying my Dad

"You like Win, Right?"

"Dad what are you saying---"

"Stop defending yourself. Are you scared if I found out?" He asked me with his voice in a serious manner

I slowly looked at him and nodded

"I knew it from the very start. I knew it Six years ago. You don't have to deny it"  My Dad said and sipped some coffee

"Uhm, I like him. We both like each other before" I shortly said

"Before? How about now?" My Dad asked

"Apparently, he has a boyfriend from Bangkok. The man you met earlier? He is Win's boyfriend" I replied and looked at my coffee again

"What do you feel now?" My Dad added

"I don't know. Maybe, I'm mad at myself for letting him go? But it sounds very possessive. We can't please someone, to stay on our side. I don't want to be selfish, Dad. But seeing him with someone made me sad and disappointed" I stood up and went back to the window and stared at the view outside

My dad pats my back slowly, "I don't know what to say" he added

"It's okay, Dad. Your coffee is really the best" I said and smiled at him

"Go downstairs after you finish drinking that, we'll have our dinner" My Dad walked out of my room

"Dad, " I called him, went to his place, and hugged him.

"Woahhh, What's happening," He said laughing

"Thank you, " I answered

"Bright, you are my son and I want you to be happy," My Dad said and finally hugged me back "Hah, Time flies so fast. It feels like you're just a little kid happily playing into the pond we used to visit before"

Dad freed himself from my hug and looked at me

"Honey, there's someone looking for you" My mom shouted from downstairs

My Dad nodded and we both went downstairs. I went to the door and opened it

"Marky, I will resume the nov--"

"Bright" I just stared at him

"Ah, you're here" I shyly said

"About earlier, It has been just a misunderstanding" Win explained

"I understand, Win. You should go home first, you look tired" As I said those words I closed the door and lean into it

"Who's that?" My mom asked me. I smiled at her before answering

"Oh, that? A stranger asks for some help" I replied and went to the dining table.
