" what do you mean you can't do it ?" Singto is shouting at Rob on the phone.

" hey Taylor told me he wants help with his assignments, I need to help him to compete his thesis on history of medieval age , do you think I will have time to write your Criticism of life from different perspectives??"

" why the hell did you agree then? Now I clearly remember why I broke up with you , you have no sense of responsibility."

" sing sing, listen there are so many contemporary writers in your country hopping up and down to do any form of collaboration with you but you chose this half Thai half Canadian, no responsibility guy. Whose fault is it ? I have already sent you my two chapters written draft , I am sure you will find some amazing writer for this ambitious project of yours. Tia darling , Taylor is hot and butt naked waiting for my leaking dick"

" ohh shit .. just fuck off" Singto feels like strangling Rob. But he has to agree Rob is right, he shouldn't have chosen him knowing how frickle minded he is . But he wanted someone with fresh writing, something different than the contemporary writers perspective. Now he is stuck with a project with no co-writer , a project which specifically deals with two writers perspective about different aspects of life ..

He opens his laptop , staring at it blankly , suddenly a blog notification pings and also an idea .. but a novice blogger will be thrown off or distrustful if he approaches online as himself. He may not take it seriously or get intimated to write freely. He decides to create another profile as a young writer with a pen name " Rain" . This writer likes showers , the name will intrigue him for sure . He decides to message him..

" Hey I am a fan of your blog and a novice writer myself .. you want to collaborate with me on a project, then email me ," and gives a newly created alternate email id.

The message remains unanswered through the day. Singto knows mostly the blogger updates snippets in the alternate nights or weekend so he has to wait patiently. He decides to take a stroll in the garden. Krist is at college but Singto's father is at home so even krist's dad. He always feels the man is too hard on his son. Krist is good boy, his sexuality should not bother his dad. But Singto knows not all families or parents support their children like his family does. He is blessed.

He suddenly decides to visit krist at campus. Singto has very few close friends. His best friends Tew and Wad both are out of Thailand taking care of their respective business duties and another close one Kao is a psychiatrist, he is having opd duties at hospital today . So unavailable. If Krist will not be free from classes, he can just roam the campus.

Singto realises he really longs for krist company like past days .. When they were younger krist was always following him like a shadow but as he had grown up obviously he used to spend less time and in this six years he has really grown up a lot..and after joining engineering he hardly gets any time. Singto has long realised krist is just not his subordinate, he is definitely someone who has grown on him through years, Singto enjoys and well if he has to be truthful, misses and craves his company and their unconventional friendship.

He reaches krist's campus and gives him a call. He doesn't pick up. His Audi gets a parking place beside the huge campus field. He knows this college very well, his father is one of the board members, he is himself a sponsor and his elder sister studied here too. He starts roaming around, it's very hot today as well as humid..he observes a group of youngsters running in this heat, must be undergoing hazing by seniors. But someone really looks familiar, a person who is running alone a little far away from the group.

Singto narrows his eyes to get a better look, yes he is right in guessing, it is krist!! Are the seniors making him do extra laps in this heat!! He is panting and almost about to collapse. But one of the seniors approach him before he falls.

Singto's hand automatically clenches seeing the foreigner looking senior supporting krist and holding him by his waist. That doesn't look innocent at all and krist is too drained to even notice the inappropriate way the senior is holding him close., While another one watches them, smiling. Singto notes everything, and he doesn't like what he sees , not at all.. something feels wrong and his heart feels bitter and heavy.

He follows the senior holding krist from a distance guessing they are going to infirmary. Krist is limping hardly able to hold his weight, the senior holding him firmly not letting him falter and uttering softly " almost there" .. Singto can't bear it anymore, he hurries forward and goes and stands in front of them. Krist drooping tired eyes go wide in surprise.."mmmaaas" Singto gestures him to not to speak, krist becomes silent..

" I am his guardian, I came to visit him and enquire about his wellbeing. But now I guess i need to speak to the dean soon."

" Excuse me sir, you are wrong in assuming things, we are told by professor's to take their physical activity classes. Are you even allowed inside this building may I ask?" Nisan gets daunted and little scared but he is not the one to show those emotions upfront..

" As a part of the trustees sponsoring the scholarship students here I have every right to come and visit this campus anytime. Now leave .. I am going to take care of him. You are a senior but your behavior reflects more of a bully than anything else .."

He comes forward and in front of the stunned senior pulls krist towards him and holds him close, feeling the heat of the fever ridden body due to sheer exhaustion. Nisan gives a dirty look back at them, and decides to retreat for today.. he understands this guardian or whoever is a threat..

" Let's get you back home, will call the doctor there, ok?"

" Yes master" krist softly whispers not really fathoming what is happening. He is too tired and feeling too sick to even think clearly anymore. He just let's Singto to make him sit on one of the benches as he leaves hurriedly to get the car.

Krist sleeps off promptly in the car, the insomnia and exhaustion of many nights catching up to him.. and he opens his eyes only late at night discovering he is sleeping on the makeshift bed in Singto's room. Singto is also deep in sleep. He slowly makes his way to his room, his body feeling fresh after the long rest and he guesses after the painkiller, he vaguely remembers taking it drowsily.

His dad is asleep too and he makes his way to his own bed.. plopping down and checks his swollen ankle. What just happened today, he is still in shock ..why did Singto do that? Why was he so possessive, so caring? He mentally smacks himself. Krist it's Singto! He is quirky and his actions should not be over analyzed . He starts to doze off to his Dreamland when his father speaks up..

" Back from your illicit rendezvous, one thing good about you liking men, I don't have to worry about some illegitimate child appearing at my door step because of your unnatural orientation"

Krist sits stunned as his father turns his back to him and goes back to sleep.

Morning Singto is not in a great mood, discovering krist already left for college, he had an early morning class.

He checks his laptop ..there is a poetry this time in the blog, the write speaks about flowers and spring and winter coming to steal the spring away..it's melancholic..the author is sad.. reflecting Singto's own mood ..and there is a reply to his comment..a private message link..

" hello Ray , this is Rain here" .. the first message pings on Ray's computer bringing a smile on the face of the chubby sad boy..a new saga begins for both of them.. Singto smiles on this side .. reading the reply..

" hello phi rain"
