Kong wakes up, his mind filled with past memories..he has dreamt vividly about them but the object of his desire is not in bed ..it's cold beside him. There is no sound of shower nor any sound of cooking which is the normal for him, if Arthit gets up before him.. instead he finds a glass of water with painkiller and a note.

" have Meeting in the morning..food is kept on the table heat up and eat.. don't starve..I may not be able to answer calls or messages..don't come to pick me up ..no need..take rest if possible don't go to work..If you want, just stay back here and rest for the day ..lunch is also there inside the fridge I have already made and kept.. ..I will be late today ..in emergency inform prae.."

Kong doesn't know what to feel..it's always the same with Arthit..he just falls deeper for this clueless man..in this short note he has again made him feel all giddy inside...there is so much concern about him in those few sentences..so much love but he will never agree to it .. infact Kong is sure he will run away as fast as possible if ever confronted with it.. Kong sighs.."this man will be the end of me"..

Kong follows Arthits advice and just laze around the apartment whole day, swinging in the couple swing sets, reading his favourite books..enjoying Arthit s cooking and well chosen snacks especially for him..Arthit doesn't message nor call him true to his words..he must be keeping himself super busy..Kong is sure ..he has seen enough of Arthit to know his escape from situation strategies.

Kong doesn't know when he again sleeps off in the evening while watching something on the TV in the living room new sofa which they have just christened recently..he is woken up when he feels a soft body curled around him,his breath tickling his now exposed tummy as his shirt has gone a little up.. Arthit is deep in sleep beside him in the bedroom, his arms entangled around his hips,.. he understands Arthit must have carried him to the bedroom when he was sleeping..cute!!

Arthit now is in deep sleep,his face pressed onto his exposed skin..he must have been inhaling him..he does that sometimes when he is feeling insecure..Kong knows this very well but he never confronts him .. Arthit thinks he does that in secret ..when Kong sleeps..

Kong slowly disentangles himself from Arthit and makes his way to the kitchen..he is sure Arthit has slept off without having dinner..he must have just thought to lie down for sometime beside him and slept off himself ..he must be very tired..but surprise .. surprise..his clueless idiot had already prepared dinner before sleeping off accidentally beside him.. what to do with this man??

Kong supresses a sudden giggle escaping him..he goes to wake him up to have dinner together..he wakes him up in the only way he knows will work for sure ...blowing air in his sensitive ears and kissing his lips..he does that alternatively until Arthit pushes him roughly and gets up..glaring at him..

" Enough of your childishness...I am coming ..just go and sit at the table 0062.." Kong knows when he is been dismissed ,he smiles and leaves and obediently sits at the dinner table waiting for Arthit to join him..

They start to have dinner in an easy companionship, passing dishes of vegetables,meat to each other, picking out of the food the vegetables or meat pieces which one likes or other dislikes..*( this inspired from friendship with krist Singto)

" Kong I am going for a office trip on Friday.." Arthit starts the conversation after some time..

" Okay,for how many days, my parents are pressuring me for choosing the suits and the cake and the design regarding the invitation cards and also the venue,theme etc etc.." Kong doesn't want to bring it up,but it has to be said..there are lots of work and preparations before marriage.

" Wedding and all, let them plan,just print out cards for my closest friends,you know them all..for suit pick up whatever you like, you know my size ..I will be going for 7 days to Japan and China then come back for three days and then again will go for 5 days more to Malaysia, will be back one week to 5 days before the wedding for sure, don't worry. .. our company is planning for solar energy plants ..it will be a breakthrough if we can use the new photo sensor software I helped to design." Arthit is all excited ..this is his dream project..

" So many days!! ..and you will be back only one week before wedding!! What are you even planning to do then when you come back!!! Are you insane!!? ..you just cannot escape all responsibilities like that..you are throwing everything on me.. its our marriage for God's sake..it's a life time thing ..I have been waiting ages for this..how can you do such an insensitive thing..!!" Kong is angry and doesn't realize what he just blurted out in the heat of the moment..

" You have been what!! Waiting to marry me..!!! I knew it!! You are mixed with our parents !! It's you who wanted this and planned this right?? Then enjoy the preparations..I have nothing more to say.." Arthit gets up and closes the bedroom door with a bang..He feels betrayed and angry..

Kong is left alone feeling broken in heart and soul..tears start to fall freely ..he doesn't know why his heart is paining..what did he expect??..Arthit will fall into his arms saying he wanted it too!! .. he rethinks again his father's words before the planned engagement..

" son are you sure you want to spend your life with him.I really like Arthit but he may never change.in the end you may be the only one invested in the relationship and hurt..."

Kongpob starts to cry uncontrollably..he is sure about Arthit as his life partner, noone else he can even imagine except him..then why Arthit is not sure about him or them? What is he lacking..!!!? Why is his love not enough for both of them..his cries go louder ..the pent up frustrations flowing like waterfall from his eyes...

" Heyy ...shhhh..don't cry like this..Kong pls listen to me ..don't cry like this.." Arthit just cannot stay mad at him or locked up in the bedroom after hearing the painful sobs..he embraces him tightly and starts to whisper in his ears

" Kong, are you sure you want this marriage with me..I may not be able to provide you with what you deserve..you are a great man .. accomplished, handsome,a good soul..you can rethink ..your parents will search someone for you or you can choose anyone..i know how to handle my parents.. Don't worry about my father...don't force yourself to be with someone like me .. I am not worth it ...you still have ample time to think..decide wisely..now come and sleep .. I will take the sofa. You don't look well..you cannot go to work again tomorrow if you don't sleep well.." Arthit reaches for a glass of water and medicine and makes Kong have it while constantly patting his back to calm him down..

" You don't want to sleep with me anymore.." Kong looks up at him shocked ..are they breaking up because he blurted out the truth..he can't help but think and feel very scared..tears start flowing again

" sshh Kong pls don't cry again.. pls.. you are overthinking..Kong we will speak tomorrow for sure, I am too tired today..you know right, nothing good comes out when we try to sort out things when we both are disturbed and hurt." Arthit tries to calm him down, Kong's tears are his weakness...he just wants to sleep away from Kong tonight so that he can just think, the younger ones proximity always muddles his brain cells..

" P Arthit pls..don't do this.." Kong can't help but plead not knowing what is going on in the elders mind seeing him so vulnerable..what is happening..how things which was just perfect in the morning have spiraled down to this by mere night?? Kong is so apprehensive now..

" Kong even I need time to think and process everything you just said. Please understand me .please don't become upset again. You know I can't see you like this..let's just call it a night today..pls I am requesting you"

" P Arthit don't do this ..we are still the same , nothing changed. I am ready to continue your status quo, just forget what I said..." kong continues.. his mind is becoming numb, this is not happening he keeps on muttering..

" Kong.. I am repeating again ..let's please talk in the morning. You are just overthinking.. you need rest.. come let's sleep.." Arthit can't take it anymore and pushes Kong onto his bed and walks away to the living room, closing the door with a loud bang..

Kong doesn't know how he sleeps off ..that medicine Arthit gave him must have been a sedative.,so he dozes off mentally drained and tired..

This time when he wakes up ..he wakes up again to a ominously silent house.. Arthits office bag is gone..but he has not forgotten to put breakfast prepared and covered on the table, and Kong's clothes laid out for work..

..this time also a folded note awaits him on the table..Kong reads it with a beating heart..fearing the worse..

"sorry, Kong, we couldn't speak today in the morning and I had to leave in such a hurry.. I have been called for an emergency meeting...please take care."

Arthit is gone ..

The first thought that Kong has reading the note..did Arthit again run away in guise of meeting just to avoid him in the morning? ..Kong really doesn't know what to do or think now..he decides enough is enough..it's time to play offensive..he is not a damsel in distress..

" Get yourself free for lunch and rest of the afternoon Mr Arthit Rojanapat. Meet me at "Enchiladas"at 12 sharp,I will not take no for an answer..Be there.." his message is firm and clear and ping with a tick , a minute later, confirms the intended person has received and seen it..

"Arthit Rojanapat ,bring it on, I may be caught and bowled but I am not letting you run away so easily .."
