"The mountain fell in love with the sky.. he thought he is in love with the river, the river originated within him from the melted snow... It softened it's rocks..it flowed through his curves for the first time. River was the first one to make the mountain melt the snow..but the mountain was too cold for the river to stay for long. It tried ..but it failed repeatedly to stay within his cold dark realms. The river loved the mountain but wanted to escape too..

Sky ,  thought the mountain never took notice of  him..it changed  it's colour, the sky sent the very beautiful clouds to the mountain.. the mountain didn't heed. But when the sky gave himself up as .. the rain caressing the mountain , the mountain looked up again. The rivers cruel leaving was soon forgotten as mountain breathed the sky.. bathing in the rain ."

Kong kept reading and re reading Arthits letter. Phana gave it to him after that fateful night. The night he left Arthit to die.,..

Earth is preparing dinner .. Em wanted to help but he knows Earth will not allow him .
Earth nowadays likes to be too busy , drowning himself in work so that he doesn't have to think about ... what happened to his best friend. There is no more parties at there house. Em, himself has not been able to face or speak to Kong..He cannot even take Kong s name in front of Earth.  He knows..Earth has been sleepless, crying,  tossing , turning for so many nights now..

It's been almost  three weeks  now, Arthit is missing.

Em still remembers Phana s  face when he came with the news.  they were all surprised to see him. Phana was the one who recounted,  all that he knew that has transpired between Kong ,Arthit and him  on that fateful night...and Arthits possible drowning..

Earth had been shattered since then .. Arthit is his best friend , his brother, he just cannot
Disappear...

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Kong takes the sedative to sleep again..his sister forces him to take it... He is staying with his family at Chiang Mai now . They were very worried about him and refused to let him be alone. They don't know the whole story but they know about Arthit. They also know Kong was the last person to be with  him when he went missing in the storm that night.

The whole incidence keeps playing in front of Kong's eyes like a repeated nightmare.
He remembers Arthits cries to stop him and then his own walking away further. He remembers Arthrits voice . He didn't know that it was for the last time he was hearing it. .. if he can turn back time he will rush back to take the man in his arms, shower him with kisses and say again and again how much he is hurting and he is so much in love ...

But he kept walking away. When he came back to the hotel the rain has picked up..and it had become a full fledged storm again. Arthit was not in the hotel room. Kong went against his ego and called up Phana again..

" Why are you calling me when you have got him back..he had hurt his leg so I made him stay back after bandanging it..and also adviced against the long walk back to hotel..but you have got him by noose Kong...the stunt you pulled he literally ran away from me crying. ..now what do you want to know..take care of him ..or ..

Kong didn't let him finish..

" He is not with you?????" Kong is feeling scared and very guilty now ..

" Of course not, you made the mountain melt, he just came to give me the end he wrote of his story, you know how Arthit is..he can't really speak about his feelings. I thought he will forgive me, I thought he will take me back.. but he has eyes and heart only for you now.. .why are you asking he is with me or not... are you trying to put salt in my wounds..?" Phana now becomes worried as kongs  words sink in..

" He hurt his leg.. how? Why isn't he back to hotel then.."

" He hurt his leg because he fell down at my house, as usual he is clumsy when he is stressed.. and my sudden appearance must have stressed him.. it was a bad fall...he even broke his mobile  in the fall, I even suspect a minor fracture..have you shouted at him ..search for him, then he must be hiding from you.. how can you shout at my baby again.."

" He is not your baby..stop calling him that..byee will talk to you when I find Arthit"

Kong didn't tell to Phana but he is getting really tensed and fidgety now.." where is Arthit. Where did he go?"

He goes down to  the hotel lobby , to go out but he is prohibited by the hotel authority to leave the premises.. the storm had picked up its pace and the tides were coming very high..

Kong spends  sleepless night waiting for Arthit.. he even,  again called Phana about Arthits disappearance..Phana told he couldn't also leave his  family house ..the storm was breaking trees like sticks now...and the sea was roaring... they both can just wait and pray for Arthit s wellfare.

But their prayers didn't get answered.. Arthit didn't come back..not in the morning, neither the next day nor the coming days..

Some rumour  of a man getting washed out to the sea during storm was doing the rounds in the small island ,Kong didn't wanna think about it. They made a police missing diary.

Phana was beyond angry on kong.. but Kong was already too broken. Phana was the one who called up Kong's parents and Arthits parents .

Kong's parents immediately came with their private jet to take their son back to hometown.. Phana made Kong to go with them. He promised he will inform Kong about any news he gets about Arthit.

Arthits parents and phana searched all around for him..no trace of Arthit was found... Even the cops started believing that the sea took him ...

There was only regret in the air for all of them..

Arthit rojanapat remained as missing .
