Iam a Journalist not a Social Activist!
Somewhere at the borders of Thailand
In Thailand there are conflicts going on since 2004 and till 2010! A young man went to cover the news over there. It's a risky step to take as no one is really mindful about the situation and was harming those who crossed the paths!
A Disagreement between two countries is always bloody. The officials will safe enjoying tea parties but those under them spill the blood and sweat fighting for the cause.
There are many people running around in various directions. There's an urgency in the steps of people.
Some with the eagerness at the idea of going home after years ,
Some with the heaviness as the thought of things they lost here,
Some with the long stretches at the prospect of fighting for something that was not accomplished,
Some with the pride of being a part of something that would be remembered for a very long time,
And Many others, who are carrying the after effects of something gonna be a 'soon to be forgotten' war .
But there's this one man who's standing in the middle of this chaos and trying to make sense for the rest of the country. A man who risked his life to cover everything of those who stood 'for a cause' in the war.
He's not just a man but a person with plan and could think farther than where he stood now. He's none other than Mr. KP Suthiluck.
The Investigative Journalist. None as the Lion in Media, fearless young man who works alone , but the success rate of his work could be 100% accurate though the cases are complicated.
"After years of struggle, fights, sweat and blood that shed over, ends here for the sake of PEACE between the countries. Though everything is gradually settling into it's place and people are cheering for this new development, I have a question, Are you really okay with this? I mean it, Are you really okay with whatever that happened and happening now? All the time, money, people, lives, blood and whatnot that are sacrificed till now are of no worth? Are we a game for the Higher Government? IS THIS NECESSARY? "he took a pause and continued "Soldiers are happy at the victory but are also extremely dissatisfied with the treatment they got from the higher officials. Some are also very upset with the fact regarding number of deaths, let's talk to few of them and let them express their views about this issue. "
"Death is inevitable, might be them or us, this would've happened regardless what, how , when and who." Said one man with single arm and other armless shoulder covered with bloodied bandage.
"We wore the uniform in the name of Country, we either die or kill , but in the name of our country, which is our pride," said another man with a gun still aimed in a direction that' leads to the border.
"We kill by profession, not by choice, If we don't then they will. "another one.
"As we listened to various voices regarding this now let me end this update with a beautiful scene of all the soldiers attending to each other as a family. This is KP with cameraman Em for SKTV. "with that KP ended his live from the warzone.
On Flight back to Bangkok,
Kongpob took his seat and was rolling his neck to get rid of the knots, " Excuse me , can you get me today's newspaper please" he asked the flight attendant with a polite smile.
"Sure sir, I'll just get that in a moment" is the answer he got before he closed his eyes in exhaustion. He's been here for almost a month and half, now going home.
Few moments later
"Excuse me ............ I saw you somewhere, uhmmm you're that news reporter , right? That 'Sexiest man on the cam' winner , right?" a man full of beard , a very prominent jose job done and wore long chains of gold just for a show off is seated in adjacent row spoke to him, obviously trying to make a conversation to get into his bed.
Damn, rich pot-bellied creeps . Hmmmm
Though irritated he still gave a half ass smile to the stranger and started closing his eyes again. Yet the other guy doesn't take a hint and
"Hi, I'm Nattapol. "he says while extending his hand.
"Hello" Kong says with one more fake smile.
"I never saw a war like this. Woah what an action , seriously, I was impressed with the way things are going on and it was so exciting to know the updates everyday ........." Nattapol kept on going with all the tidbits of knowledge he had on the issue trying to make Kong involved in the conversation completely missing the gradual drop of smile getting replaced with scoff on Kong's face.
"Big guns , Bunkers, aircrafts , Bombs, BOOM-Boom , Dun-DA-Dun , ......" he's explaining with effects as he saw Kongpob turning towards him completely with a RED face.
"And Dead bodies of People ..." Kong said which Made Nattapol completely shut his mouth in the middle of his ramblings.
"...You would have enjoyed watching them too , right? "
"That was... " Nattapol was cut off in the middle by Kong again continuing his words
"Your pants would be wet within a minute if someone like you ,entered that place." He said.
Nattapol lost his smile and a bitter expression took over, "Excuse me, what did you say:" he asked louder with a dark aura surrounding him, now trying to intimidate him.
Kongpob is not a person who back downs from a challenge, he rather loved them and likes to show that exactly to the world.
"I said, 'If a coward like you goes there, you would have pissed in your boxer before wearing a uniform, when a bullet sound is heard', is that enough or should I elaborate again." Kongpob asked with a face that could even make a strong man flinch.
Nattapol was about to say something when suddenly a teenager in the front seat of Kongpob laughed loud , followed by everyone who sat around embarrassing Nattapol more and shut up before making fool out of himself in the public.
Kong was mumbling himself when the previous attendant came and gave him the newspaper.
Nattapol kept taking glances at Kong , and no one knew they're because of either embarrassment or she still didn't get the idea.
While reading the newspaper he read an Article that took his interest with a heading
"No-one is arrested in Fiat Murder Case.
Misiter's Son Monu is suspected." He read the article and flipped the page to check upon others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting off the plane Kongpob directly went to the office to submit important files about the secret investigation he conducted at warzone.
And he was pleasantly surprised when everyone congratulated and praised him for his brave work and many more. He didn't mind them as they were common for all his works. He's dedicated and perfect journalist at that.
"Great work , congratulations." Said Sataporn , his Boss, friend and a senior at University.
"Thank You ," Said Kongpob with a big grin. " I was about to come to you ,I wanted to talk about my ..."
"Rise? Cabin? Bonus? Car? " Sataporn started his guess game.
Kongpob sighed "....next assignment" and shook his head.
"What do you want?" Sataporn asked.
"What can you give me? " Kongpob smirked.
"What about this?" his Boss asked.
He took the paper and let it fall on table and sighed
"Come on phi. Now, not even dramas show politicians as villains. They'll get away. There are about 300 eye witnesses or so. He ain't just a kid, he's model so the witnesses must be influential people . Yet this is gonna be one of those open and shut case." He said munching on a waffle brought to them in the cabin.
"It's a very big story. Public interest. Hot topic" The boss is trying to make Kongpob see the bigger picture.
"This is crime stuff, let Ohm do this, he looks like a criminal himself." He jokes making them both laugh at that. "I think I deserve a bigger one."
"Now, Nong, I can't create bigger issues and wars to match your profile." Sataporn sighes.
"Shut up, phi. I didn't declare myself as war correspondent. But why do I feel like my profile was getting pushed down intentionally now?" Kong said.
"Ishhhhhhh , you're such a pain in the as you know . Asshole." Sataporn is tired and done with this annoying tact of his junior.
Stubborn asshole.
"Ofcourse , I know , what els-"
" Checkout the news Monu was arrested in Fiat's case, the news is live." Said Chimon who just barged into the cabin.
"The Asshole is always right." They share a look while Tha turns on the TV.
"Mond Tanuchi aka Monu was arrested in the case of murder of Fiat. He surrendered himself in the court of law just now admitting his involvement. Police took him into custody and for investigation he was being taken to Chiang Rai police station."
Sataporn looked at Kongpob again with a meaningful look , just for Kongpob to say
"I'am a JOURNALIST not a SOCIAL ACTIVIST" and he went away out of cabin saying that .
Not knowing how much he's gonna regret saying those words in future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A/N : The story is gonna gradually grow . But 2k words a chapter is my limit. Guys i know the story is not something that satisfies everyone. Evn if the reads are in hundreds the number of votes and comments are giving a low blow to the inspiration. Can't you just say somethimg to share or ask anything ?
I'd love to see the number reads increasing but i'd be happiest to see what you're thinking while you read the story.
