A month has passed already, me, Singto and Great became great friends. We had become so close to each other. Great has visited our dorm daily and we all spent most of our days together.
The last day before the Christmas Holidays, everyone was happy because they're going back to their homes and visiting their families again after months. while there was me ,worried how I will spend my holiday all alone at the dorm. I didn't want to be alone again, just the thought of being alone again on Christmas made me feel so anxious and sad. I really wanted to be around family and cousins too, but I'm just an unlucky kid whose parents left a long time ago and who never knew anything about them after they left. I was sitting with Great and Singto on the lunch break, and they were talking about how they will spend their holidays.
"What will you guys do on Christmas eve?" Great asked us.
"I will go to stay at my cousins' place here in Thailand, I haven't seen them for way too long, and so I will spend my holiday with them, what about you Great?" Singto replied.
"I don't know yet, I'll probably go back to my town and spend the holiday with my mom, dad and brother." Great said.
"That's nice! Have fun!" Singto answered.
"Hmm... What about you Bhu? You haven't say anything yet" Great asked me, I didn't know what to reply at first, I was a speechless for a minute; I was looking at the table trying to avoid eye contact with them.
"I ..." the words weren't coming to my mind, there was a silence that made the atmosphere seem awkward, then suddenly a teardrop rolled down my cheek, I couldn't keep it in.
"Are you okay Bhu?" Great and Singto said at the same time.
Great sat close to me and hugged me.
"It's okay, don't cry, tell me what's wrong, I'm here for you" he said while caressing my head with his big soft hands, it felt so warm and caring.
"I'm sorry for this... hehe. I was drowning in my feelings and thoughts. I actually don't have anyone to spend my holidays with since my parents left me when I was a child and I've lived my whole life alone, so I will just spend it alone in my dorm as usual, it's not something new." I replied, and I don't know why I was so scared while saying those words.
Great hugged me even tighter, I don't know why it felt so good; his hug was so warm, it's like I was protected there.
"OH! Then you'll come with me to my place. Our house is big and there's only me, my brother , mom and dad. You can spend Christmas with us; we all will be glad and happy." Great said while smiling brightly.
"But... are you sure?" I asked him nervously; nobody had ever invited me to meet their family before.
"Yes, I'm sure. I won't let you stay alone on Christmas! You're not allowed to say no." Great replied.
"Okay!" I replied, the happiness I was feeling that time couldn't be described; I'm not spending Christmas alone again, it was my first Christmas not sitting alone at home eating a piece of bread and studying or working.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning then!" he said.
"Yes, I will be ready." I replied him.
He really was a great person indeed.
A few minutes later, Singto was looking somewhere for way too long without even blinking, his face turned all red.
"Singto, what are you looking at?" I asked him.
"He's looking at Krist I guess? The only thing I can see where he is staring is Krist talking on the phone" Great said and laughed.
"hahaha I guess yes." I said.
"Bhu, that's the guy I told you about last time! That's him! Oh my god! Do I look good?" Singto started talking too fast.
"You look great, go talk to him!" I replied him.
He ran too fast towards him and started talking to him, Great and I couldn't contain our laugh, Singto was so in love that he was acting way too cute.
