the new star

The sky is so clear and  blue today. He can  even see  the heads of the trees of the garden from his bed and even the hint of faraway home. His specs laid alongside his bed . He is wearing shorts and a half t shirt . Today  he is not feeling cold . His bruises are not visible and the rest did him good. His hands are not clammy and head is not aching any more.

Prem left day before yesterday. He called 9 times and he picked up everytime otherwise he will definitely  come and bug him again. Prem finals are coming Arthit just cannot let him leave his studies and nurse him anymore .

Arthit himself needs to attend college. once his phone was on he received many calls from hazers especially kongpob and knot. He systematically blocked their number after first few calls. He did message knot once to let him know he was alright. But he didn't message Kong.
..........
The sky is bright with stars tonight
Moon is shining with full might
New day new love new feeling crops up
That's the beauty of the night sky

Let me hold your hand tonight
Let me leave some kisses and hugs tonight
Let me feel you under the stars tonight
That's the beauty of the night sky
...........

Kong .. when he had listened to him singing this song for the first time he had been mesmerized by his voice. He had kept singing and listening to it in loop. Bright is their vocalist but this was kongs song ,sung by him written by him . May be for his muse at that time. Arthit have imagined himself so many times to get the courage to talk to him. The only time he had spoken to him was  in the first year and  he stupidly picked up a fight ... in his own nervousness at tootahs antics. So he had become a weirdo, a nerd to him.. and had remained so until a week back. Is it only a week? It feels so much more.

Arthit sees the yellow bird again. The little thing always come and sits by his window before the sunset. His only contact with the outside world aside Prem in this house or should he say mansion.
 
The bird observes him for some time both look at each other's eyes ..Arthit doesn't need glasses to see far...only near... he just needs them to hide away.. sometimes his tears, sometimes his fears sometimes all of himself..

Just a short sharp sound of greeting and he flies away..everyday .. Arthit thinks when he is not there ...will the bird come then too or someone will close the window pane then .. and the bird will understand.

He gets ready .. today he will go to library  and then to work. He love the job at the mall .. so many people aimlessly buying talking giggling laughing ..friends families ..smell of new clothes.. it's been ages since he brought himself one not even college  uniforms. He knows the reason. He will not acknowledge it but.

But he will buy today clothes and stationaries with last months salary . His boss is nice,.  he will give him discounts.  He will go to the orphanage next .. he has not been there for so long. ..

Knot pov

This is now the third day Arthit is absent from college. Everybody is surprised. Even the professors are asking about him after the performance. Wad and me went to business faculty even in search of the Prem guy. We came to know their finals are coming so they are basically cooped up either in library or dorm . I  plan  again to go to library today after college in search of him or arithit.

My project work is coming along fine. But I need the idiots help. He promised me and now he is like disappeared from the face of the Earth. He doesn't even have a Facebook account neither his phone is reachable again. Hope he has not blocked me. He did message me thankfully a day back saying he is fine and not to worry then why is he not back to college or even to the library .. !

The moment I entered today in the library my heart soared . Arthit is sitting at his regular place with books as mountains and note pages  as rivers around him. I walk slowly towards him.

" Hey glassy fool have you blocked my number? Why your cell is saying unreachable Everytime I call? "

" Thanks for asking how am I at first dad." Arthit deadpanned.

" Hey smart ass , answer me .. did you..unblock me now..I am now sure you did it.."

" And why should I "?

" You owe me I saved you from collapsing and making a scene at backstage... "

" I gave you my notes"

" So we are equal but I called the taxi"

" That's not fair "

" Unblock now "

"Hey hey don't shout it s library.. ok ok see .. unblocked..moron"

" Glassy fool head burnt toast so how are you?"

" Fine and thank you"  ..he smiled and I knew we are back to be alright.

" How's Kong?" He whispers ..

" Arthit he is not fine ..call him.. he is worried for you ..he is feeling super guilty.. he came to know ..  you were not well..  Em saw us even Wad noticed . "

" He should feel guilty he is a dick head"

" Arthit he likes you .. you know that right.. though I don't know in what way ..I hope you are really not his passing fantasy or something.. so he is super worried.. give him a call. He is a good person a little dick head sometime s yes..but he is good at heart.
Don't you like him?"

Arthit looked at me and I was stunned to see tears..Arthit rojanapat was crying ...what went wrong.. wht did I do.. what did I say??!

Or is it what I think it is

Arthit has fallen for Kong.....!!!!
