2.Tug of war
Next day when Arthit came in to his room after Sotus he found a note stuck to inside of his door.
Arthit felt a little bad about Kongpob when reading first two lines but all the sympathy evaporated at the last line" he even dared to underline it ! Arthit couldnt believe nerve of this guy.
" Ai Arthit ... Come on. Others are waiting for you. " Knot called him for dinner.
Arthit scribbled down a reply in haste, before locking his door.
When he returned after dinner a note was stuck under his own in all bold and all capitals.
Arthit grinned imagining his room partner's face distorting in rage while writing the note. All Arthit deduced from the note was the guy has really neat handwriting!
Arthit scribbled under it and went to his beauty sleep after completing his reading for the next day. But before sleeping he checked the window and unlatched it .
.............
Arthit was jerked up into sitting upright by the horrible sound almost deafening his ears. He felt around with his hand and found his alarm blaring practically in his ears, he threw the offending object straight at the opposite wall. Still the sound was coming from somewhere. Arthit had to get up to search.
It was another alarm blaring nonstop under his bed. Crawling under the bed Arthit grabbed second alarm, smacking the button to shut the damn thing off before he checked the time. The clock was displaying ' 4 AM '
Kong fucking Pob!
He found a note stuck to alarm
Arthit chucked this alarm too at the same wall he threw previous one and grinned in satisfaction seeing broken parts scattered everywhere.
' Too bad! Now your alarm is dead .... You will be too ... Very soon'
Arthit stuck Kong's note on the door and scribbled another note before sticking it on the door.
Next morning same thing repeated with two new cheap Alarms ( specially purchased for this mission. )
Arthit scribbled another note in maddening rage.
Can you guess his reply
Arthit turned red from rage.Let me show you whom did you mess with?
Arthit stuck a note to his chilly pickle jar
' I dare you to finish all of it in one go' and kept it on his side table .
On one seperate side of door Arthit posted other note, there conversation went something like this
Next morning found Kong sitting on his bed with chilly pickle jar in his hand eating it almost nonstop with a miniscule break for wiping his nose, irrespective of the river flowing from both his eyes which turned in to an angry red shade Kong kept eating.
Arthit couldn't believe this boy
" Just let it be. It's not your cup of tea "
Arthit commented before entering in bathroom to complete his morning routine.
After coming from shower he found now empty pickle jar and a new note stuck on the door under his dare one.
Arthit smirked while writing reply to the note.
' Shia, I can't believe he really ate all that. I will have to ask for another batch from mae.'
By the end of that day Kong's condition worsened really fast from dehydration, stomachache and constant trips to loo.
When Arthit returned in his room after Sotus he saw a small heap of empty milk cartoons by the bed. He must be feeling like his whole digestive tract from esophagus to rectum is burning from inside. Arthit thought it got a little out of hands.
He bought medicine and some congee for Kong to have and placed the bowl on a small table on his bed .
" How does A MAN is feeling after ramming his head straight in to the challenge ? "
Kong glared at him. Ok Arthit shouldn't have rubbed salt on an open wound. But he couldn't resist the temptation.
" Hmm, come on ... You have to eat a little" Arthit slid the bowl of congee towards Kongpob.
" I don't want it. "
" Aren't you being petty right now? You were brave enough to eat whole jar of chilly pickle. Now man up and eat this, then you also have medicines to take too."
" No, I don't want it." Kong slid the bowl back towards Arthit.
" Shut up and fucking eat it, you are already on my top of my ' People I want to murder list' ..... Hmm .... " Arthit slid it towards Kong and kept a firm grip on bowl to stop Kong from sliding it back.
This time Kong neither slid the bowl or refused to eat. He simply said.
" You shouldn't curse. "
" Please eat the damn thing your highness. " Putting special stress on ' highness' part Arthit gave him a mock - full bow like ancient times .
" Why are you being so nice to me ?" Kong was sceptical.
" I don't want to be late to Suda's class tomorrow because of you having picnic in the bathroom. Any more late days and I will have to camp my bed outside the classroom to complete number of compulsory attendance days Suda demands to pass a student in her class ."
Kong didn't say anything on it. After eating he mumbled a 'thank you' before covering his face with blanket .
" What the ....? Are you planning to die on me due to suffocation? Don't you know it's not good to cover your face with blanket while sleeping." Arthit yelled flipping the blanket from his face.
Kong looked at him in annoyance
" No one had died due to covering their face while sleeping and you aren't my mom Arthit. "
It's not good to yell on sick person so he will let this slide. Arthit sighed in defeat and gave Kong his medicine and a glass of water.
"I am tired of these childish pranks. Let's call truce. No pranking from now on."
Kong nodded affirmative.
............
Arthit felt like he had roommate for those three days only. In those three days Kong kept quite and ate the meals and medicine Arthit gave him. After that he was invisible to Arthit again.
' I owe you one. ' Kongpob had said at the end of the third day before vanishing god knows where. Did Arthit helped him so much to hear this? Which world does this Kongpob came from? bedsides wasn't it he who started all this mess of pranking by hanging his alarm on his head like a sword?
Arthit was frustrated beyond imagination 'can I just punch him at least once' Arthit thought.
Where does he even go ? Arthit is sure his roomate doesn't come in to the room till 2 Am because Arthit is daily awake up to 2 .
Prior to these three days Kong came in after Arthit slept and left before he woke up. They had no time overlap. No conversation except all those notes stuck to the door. This continued for almost a month after Kong's sickness episode. In this month they had almost no conversation.... Not even notes.
After nearly a month Kong found a new note stuck on the door
Oh Arthit had forgotten to dump those in trashcans before. But what is Kongpob trying to insinuate .... that pink milk is a girly drink. Only girls can have that?
" Why you moron, when did I swear ?' Arthit mumbled to himself reading his note.
" See that's what I was saying. " Arthit turned to the see the source of voice only to find Kong sitting on ledge of his side of window.
Arthit wasn't one to back down. " For your information according to a recent scientific research swearing is a mark of an intellectual person." Arthit replied raising his head up.
" Then I am sure kids will soon have a textbook on swear words in their curriculum. Can't let future of nation go dumb, can we ?" Kong snorted sarcastically before climbing down the tree.
"...!...."
" You..." sticking his head out of the window Arthit yelled at Kongpob. Kongpob just chuckled and raised his hand gesturing a bye .
" I swear he only came in room to insult me. KongmonkeyPob! " Arthit mumbled after Kong .
" Hey Arthit ....." Prem walked in unannounced " Was that your invisible roommate? We never see him around."
" Yes, because he is not used to humans. He lives on trees ." Arthit replied irritated.
" Wow, I thought they only enroll humans in here... " Knot commented standing at the entrance to their room, sarcasm dripping from his tone.
" Apparently, they had enrolled a two legged ape in business ad " Arthit gritted his teeth.
" Knot was right. You hit your head on something today." Prem commented.
Arthit sighed holding his forhead in both his hands. Are they celebrating anti Arthit day today?
