Destined You & I (Completed)

Chapter 35

Dear Arthit,

I'm glad you reached home safely. I hope you'll get over jet lag quickly. This has been the best summer I've ever had. Thank you for coming all the way here to be with me. I will cherish all the memories we've made. I hope we'll make many more in the future but we can never know what lies ahead of us. At least for now we have these forever.

I was just thinking of your silly logic about spending thirty-two days is equivalent to eight months together. If that's the case then our summer together is equivalent to almost a year. Sometimes, just thinking about the things you say can make me smile all day.

I'm laying in bed with my blanket and pillow that smells like you. I have no bedsheet right now because it's still wet and the only dryer that works is being used. But it's okay. This is enough for me to dream about you.

I know you said you felt fine last night but I'm worried that maybe we didn't do it right. You looked like you were in a lot of pain and I feel terrible for causing it. It felt good for me, but I feel so selfish for enjoying it. Maybe we shouldn't do that again. I won't love you any less. ❣︎

Dear Arthit,

I noticed the leaves are starting to change colors today. The air is starting to feel crisp and breezy in the city. It's starting to really feel like Autumn. I'll take some pictures to show you when more leaves change. They're very colorful and beautiful. I wish you could see them with me. Sometimes I feel like the winter is too long here, but I really do appreciate all four seasons. Everything feels and looks so different even though they're exactly the same thing. The same park looks completely different every season. Unlike back home where it's hot, hotter, and even hotter.

I really don't know when we're going to have a chance to wear those matching "I ❤️ NY" hoodies we bought. But I'm wearing the light jacket you bought for me. So, don't worry, I won't be cold. I've started to work at Payel's family restaurant again this week. I have to save for my ticket to go home for Christmas break.

I'm so proud of you for landing that internship at the news station. It'll be perfect on your resume when you graduate since you want to become a producer one day. I really think that it would suit you since you don't like to be stuck behind a desk job. It'll also give you a taste of what that life is like before you have to take a real plunge. I know your dad isn't very supportive of the idea but he's just concerned about your future. It's a narrow field but I know you can do it. I have faith in you. ❣︎

Dear Arthit,

It's okay that you missed our Skype time. I'm really not upset. I know you're busy with school and your internship. But I hope you don't overdo it. And you don't have to keep going to the orphanage if you're too busy. Miss Eva will understand. My mom is happy that you and Krystal visited her at the restaurant the other day. She says since I'm not there, she misses seeing my friends. Aim still visits her when he can but he's preparing for graduation too. So he's very busy.

There are just a few weeks left before I come home for Christmas break. I know it's only for two weeks but it's better than nothing. I can't wait to see everyone, especially you. In the meantime, I have a lot of shopping to do for everyone.

Yesterday, I actually met with Jenny's doctor. He says she's showing more and more unresponsive signs to dialysis treatment. She's getting more and more tired. She has lost all her spunk and she can barely smile. We were barely able to talk for more than twenty minutes before she drifted off to sleep yesterday. She told me that my grandpa keeps calling her in her dreams. I don't know how much longer she will be here. She told me to be happy that she would soon get to meet my grandpa. I could only nod to that while holding back my tears. I really do hope they'll meet. ❣︎
