Arthit sighed seeing the unending emails in his desktop. Since his reputation as champion of the newbie have progressed through the office he gets forwarded with all new author manuscripts for primary evaluation.

Today Arthit is having a mild headache. He sometimes gets when he is stressed. He feels not only stressed but quite out of place this morning. He cannot help but think about Saturday party at Em and Earth's house.

He met Lee, through Earth .. . Arthit has to agree he was pleasantly surprised. The man was so shy and looked so smitten by him.he couldn't even meet his eyes while speaking. Arthit couldn't help but feel a little pity for the handsome man.

Arthit has to agree Lee is a very handsome man. He looks like a model from those fashion magazine and has good sense of style . Arthit likes well dressed man,  he got initially smitten by phana because of his style.

Phana, what was he to him? His ex ? Or his unresolved love story. After meeting Lee he has again crossed Arthit s mind. He doesn't know where phana is and what phana is doing.. he never lets his mind dwell on it. What's the use? "Breaking up" the word was uttered by Phana. Everybody thought it was he who had broken up with Phana,but it was not so. But he didn't correct anyone. Let him be blamed . He doesn't want his friends to bad mouth Phana.

Lee messaged him yesterday night after party. He wanted to meet for coffee .. Arthit didn't know what to reply so he didn't message back ..simple. what surprised him was Kong .. the guy was always so flirtatious. He came and tried to charm Lee too, Lee was so embarrassed. Arthit had gone out to the garden swing again when Kong came.

He liked the breeze there. .after sometime he was surprised to find  Lee joining him and they sat in comfortable silence for some time before they were called inside for dinner.

But that short interaction with Lee made Arthit think like he is doing something wrong. Phanas face kept on crossing his mind. And then when he was getting inside the house , he suddenly turned back to see Kong literally piercing him with his gaze from the window. The eyes held so much accusations. Arthrit didn't know what to think. His logical mind couldn't really fathom any logic in Kongs reaction.

Arthit understood today he can't read through the mails . His eyes fell on the brown packet . Why not try reading this once? Arthit hated wasting time on work , he has to do something to keep himself busy otherwise guilt will kill him. So he opened the brown packet and took out the pages and started reading..

Kong was sitting in front of a very angry Em after work.  He knew something was wrong when Em called him to meet again for dinner today at his house.

" What are you thinking exactly by blocking Arthit s date yesterday night Kong and this is not the first time."

" I was only helping the dude to escape from the horror called date with Arthit"

" Kong, the dude you helped went and sat with him on the swing, he even asked for another meeting with him. You think you helped him?? And my question is why? Why you have to intervene? "

Kong kept silent,  he didn't really know the answer to Em's question. When he went to intervene last night,  approaching the scene he understood clearly that the said dude he wanted to rescue,  had full on heart and dreamy eyes for Arthit. Kong should have just walked away but he went and blocked the dude anyways. He felt "jealous!!!!?"

It's like Em can read his mind.

" Were you by any chance jealous Kong? Tell me clearly why are you suddenly so interested in what's going on with Arthit s life? He used to mean nothing to you before. You had once told me he is a a total burden for humanity, remember? "

Kong remember s all but that was long time ago. Now he doesn't feel so at all. He loves Arthit s company though Arthit clearly likes to avoid him. What was he feeling for Arthit?? He really doesn't know....

🍀🍀 Arthit , again starts rereading the few pages of manuscript.

The author describes a  beautiful mountain who falls in love with a river born in his glaciers. But the river wants to flow out to meet the sea..as much as the mountain wanted to keep the river inside the gorges and his caves, entrapped within the stone cold depth, the river thinks about escape every day ,. every minute .

Then there was the sky who wanted to touch the mountain. He sends out clouds to talk to the mountain. But the mountain pays no heed. The story ends there..

Arthit was shocked, this was his very first story . This was written in his own handwriting.. he has written this when he was only 15 years old. When he first met Phana...

Who sent this to him???!!! 🍀🍀🍀
