"Yes officer, my decision is final, i'll hang up now" i said to officer pete

I've been thinking this for several days now, i guess theres no harm in trying.

For the sake of his mother

I'm on my deep tought when my phone rung

Unregistered number

At first Im hesitant to answer but i  just found out that i already pressed the answer button

" who's  in the line?" I curiously asked

The person on the line cleared his troat for a  several times before speaking

" uhmm, kong, errr.. this is" he answered in trembling voice, based on his voice i  guesss this is Ohm

" Ohm?" I asked

" ye..yess.. uhhm i called just to say uhhmm  sorry" he whispered the last word i pretended that i didnt heard it correctly

" what was that?" I teasingly said

"Im..." he gulped hard

" im sorry" he said

"I  cant hear it correctly, wait ill be going there now to sign the dismissal paper, better to tell it to me infront" i said and hang the phone

I cant remove the smile that was drawn on my face, i can't help myself from smiling when im
Imagining Ohms face saying those words

I'm walking out from the house when i saw P'arthit standing near the gate

"P' what are you doing here?" I asked him and he looked shocked when he saw me

"I—am—err" he said while brushing his hair

" what?" I confusedly asked him

" err— can i —uhhm ask you for a date?" He then smiled and faced me

I was stunned at first, this is the first time he asked me for a date

" uhhmm. Ill be visititng ohm today P'" i said

" what!" His sweet voice turned into  fiereced and scary one

I was startled

" wh—why P'"

" what are you going to do there? "

" ill sign the paper, i withdraw the case that i submitted"

"Why?, are you going to set him free?"

" yes P'"

"But thats stupidity right! How could you
Let the person who almost killed you free?!" He shouted

" i know P', i know that this is wrong, but what can i do,  when i saw the medical result of his mother.." im not yet done talking when he interupted me

" yes,  now you see why everyone takes advantage on you, because you are so soft and kind" he blurted

" i know. But if you are on my position and you knew that this simple help can make a great impact to them what are you going to choose then?,  to help them or to maintain your pride high up" i asked him

" we..ll uhhm"

" see you cant even answer this simple question P'"

"  we all know that Ohm's mother is already on critical stage right now, and the only thing we can do is to help her to be with her son right, i know the feelings of being abandoned by your parents P', i dont want that to happen to him" i said and wiped the tears thats almost coming out from my eyes

"Uhhh— okay then na i'll come with you" he said and pulled me close to him and hugged me tightly

"What's with the hug?" I asked him while pulling myself off from his tight hug

" i just missed you so bad, and this is he first hug we had right" he said and kissed my forehead

we ride his car and he drove it to the police station, my heart beats fast as we come closer and closer to the police station

When we arrived i took a deep breath snd went out to the car

" call me when something wrong happens,okay" P'arthit said

"I nodded in return

I opened the door slowly and P'ae welcomed me with a smile on his face

" Good morning P'" i said as i waii to the officers

" Nong come here" P'pete called me

"Sit" he said

" are you really sure with this?" He asked me

I dont need to verify whats he's pointing at because we both know that he is talking about my sudden back out for the case

" yes P' im sure" i said and sat properly and placed my hands on the table

" i know that this is a hard decision for me, but i guess this is also a sign from anove that i need to forgive the people that hurts me" i said

" what if he hurts you again?"

" i dont think so P' i'll talk to him later after this" i said and brushed my hair

"Okay then ill prepare the papers first,you can still stay here if you want too" he said and leaved me

I'll forgive him not because he deserves forgiveness. Ill forgive him because i deserve peace of mind.

The door suddenly opened then i saw ohm with swollen eyes and bruises on his body

"What happened to you?!" I shouted and immediately stood up and run next to him

"Awww. Nothing i just fell down from the bed last night" he said and brushed his hair up

"Ohm. One of the biggest flaws of people are pretending to be blind to their own mistakes,but do not pretend deaf  towards the mistaked of others. Pretend all you want but you'll stay the same on the inside and, one day someone will see through you" i said as i held his hands

The tough and scary ohm began to kneel and cry infront of me

"Im so sorry kong, i know i hurt you so much and sometimes saying sorry is the most difficult thing on earth. But its the cheapest thing to save the most expensive gift called friendship" he said while sobbing

I pulled him up and hugged him tight

" i know you suffered so much inside the cell, and i know that you'll suffer more when your already out of here, but ill be here with you, we will be here with you" i said as i rub his back to stop him from crying

" i—i—-m really sorry kong, i hurt you a lot and still you are here to forgive me "

" As i walked out the door towards the gate that would lead to my freedom, i knew if i didnt leave the bitterness and hatred behind,i'd still
Be in prison, forgiveness is tje only thing i can do to help you and accepting your mistakes is the only thing you can do to help yourself" i said as we broke our hugs

I wiped his tears

" it will be okay now Ohm we'll kust eait for the day that you'll be released we will come and get you" i said with the positive tone of my voice

" just stay here a little bit more" i said

" ill be going now "

Before i walked out the door he held my arm for the last time

" Im sorry and thank you, i will work hard to earn your trust again" he said and pressed my hands

" you better promise me that" i said and winked at him

I walked towards officer Ae and sogne the forms  after i signed the paper i immediately run outside to check my boyfriend

I didnt notice the time its already 6:30 in the evening, i walked near the car and saw him sleeping in the drivers seat. I knocked tje window and he immediately opened it and welcomed me with a smile

" im so sorry it took so long" i said as i sat beside him

"Its okay,let's go to the park" he said and drove the car to the park

It took us 10 minutes to resch the park

" how long has it been?" He  suddenly speaked

" 14 years" i said

We arw not facing esch other were just walking straight in the park

" i never tought that a bully like you is my lon lost friend" i said and chuckled

" and i never thought thst from a shy and clamsy singto will turn into a wild lion that can beats me so many times" he said

"Wanna eat cotton candy?" He suddenly asked me

" uhhmm"

" i know that its your favorite right" he said as he moved his brows up and down

" yeah you still remembers it " i said and smiled at him

"Of course how can i forget about it, i always buy you cotton candy whenever your crying back then" he said and laughed

" i remember the time that we were playing in the swing then you accidentally lost your balance and fall, you scratched tour knee that time, you cried hard" he added

"Stop it now " i said and punched his arm

He keeps on laughing and laughing

I slowly moved my hand towards his hands and locked it

He was startled at first but he gripped my hands

We were walking holding each others hands

We didnt notice the time we decided to go to the sushi bar and eat

" time really flies so fast right" P'arthit said as he pay the bills in the cashier

We walked outside and went to his car

Today and always, beyond tomorrow, i need you beside me, always as a friend, lover and forever my soul mate.

P'arhtit is not the only person in the universe, but his the only one that matters.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me for a tight hug.

This is one of the happiest day of my life that i will forever cherish.

I love this man no matter what will happen and i will love him more no matter what will be the outcome.
