[18] Secret Was Going to Be Found

"Please prepare yourself p',"

"HUh? Why?" 

"My brother, Mark is going to return Bangkok," said Gun, who is 13 years old.

Perth was completely shocked. He never thought that his dream will come true.

"Really? Is Mark return Thailand? "

"Yeah, he told me to return this to you."

Gun nodded his head and give him a jewelry box.

Perth opened the box, there's a bracelet  laid in the box. While he take the bracelet from the box, a card accidentally drop. He picked up the card and saw some words.

"Here's the gift for you, Perth. Time passes so fast that we are almost 30 now. Do you still remember that we used to took a photo with Gun when he was 2 years old?"

Perth flipped over the card, the photo they took long time ago pasted on the card.

He smiled. Time passes so fast that the baby in the photo grew up and became a teenager.

"When will he return Bangkok?"

"After a week I think."

"Oops, the chips are finished."

"Never mind, I'll buy you another one." Perth patted Gun's head, "c'mon, let's get a new one."

-

"I want this, this and this." Gun pointed to the snacks on the shelf.

"Kid control yourself, eating too much snacks will cause many health problems," Perth is worrying about his money.

" Just let him buy, Perth. I'll pay all."

A familiar voice came from the door. Gun and Perth look at the door, found that a man is standing at there.

"P'Mark!" Gun run toward him, hugged Mark.

"Since you don't have Thailand's snacks so much, I'll buy you those."

He smiles, and that's what Perth looking for.

"Hi, Perth. It's been a long time we see each other."

"Yeah, wanna have some coffee?"

Perth never thought that Mark and his first conversation after 8 years.

Throughout the 8 years, he used to imagine the scene when they meet again at somewhere and what will they talk.

"Perth? Are you here?"

"Huh? Erm sorry. Could you repeat your words again please?"

"I said, let's bring Gun to the mall and we'll have coffee at there."

"Okay," said Perth.

-

"Well, I had resigned from the company recently. The company isn't as good as it used to be."

"Really? You used to work at there for 8 years!"

Mark sipped his mocha," actually all of my old colleagues have left. After the new CEO came to our company, he fired many managers and closed some departments. He hired his friends and his relatives as manager. From that day on, many old workers started to leave the company include my colleagues."

"Slowly, there aren't many old workers left. I didn't left there because there used to be my first company to work and I have feelings toward it. After training the newbies, I left the company."

He continues his words," I had a thought to return Bangkok after leaving the company since it's been a long time I never came here."

Perth nodded his head," for 8 years if I don't miscount."

"Yup, how about you?"

When they are chatting, they don't realise that there're another two pairs of eyes are watching them.

"I know that Perth is that guy but how about another one?"

"He looks familiar...Ahhh! He is Mark!"
