Kong has no energy to  get up today. Em made sure he has enough food for his breakfast in the morning. Even put an alarm for him and went. There was a sticky not attached .." don't loose hope ..get up jerk and face the day."

Kong knew em is right so he braces himself to face the the day and Arthit today. He guess he is lucky today , he doesn't meet Arthit today in the elevator. He doesn't know still how the other man will react to him in office. Will he remain the same calm and cool Arthit or will he start to ignore him and stop whatever communication they have. He engrossed himself in his pending work at desk, but his luck soon runs out.

His boss wants him to meet Arthit to discuss the new writer and the book cover for the public events. Generally once Arthit takes a writer under his wings he involves himself in everything concerning the same.

Everybody knows that , and his suggestions are really insightful, so none raises any objections. Kong literally drags himself to Arthit workstation at the other side of the office where all the editors sit in individual cabins.

Arthit though, only working for three years has got his own. Kong knocks on the cabin door once..twice .. no answer.
He slowly opens the door and goes inside.

" What happened Arthit, are you not feeling well?" Kong is shocked to see Arthit dazed and looking blankly at some photographs and some handwritten manuscripts. He has not even heard the knock , he is  completely lost in his own thoughts.

" Hmm., When did you come?"

" Arthit what happened? I have never seen you so lost? What are these??." Kong points to the photographs and manuscripts. Kong is almost certain that Arthit is acting out of character due to these objects. May be that day,  the drunk escapade was also caused by them.

" I don't know, but I think I need to find out."
Arthit whispers.

" Do you know who sent them? Whose handwriting is this."Kong knows he has to  pester Arthit to get any answer. He has learnt through years with him.

" Mine...but I don't know who sent them. I need to find out." He again repeats, still dazed , whispering..

" You write too? But who will send you , your own manuscripts and what are these photographs?? They are of some beach and unknown houses. Do you know any of these??"

" No " Arthit goes back to gazing at the photographs. Kong silently waits.. after some time Arthit opens the desktop and start searching for the beach featured in the photographs. There were two photos, one of sunrise at a beach  and one of a house with blue and purple orchids adorning the gate.
You can see a faint silhouette of a man standing at the door of the house,his back can be seen.

Arthit has again received a handwritten manuscript with no forwarding address with another story written during his teen age years. This time he has received  two photographs along with it. Arthit logic states simply , that the person who is sending him this things , have something to tell him. He stays at that beach and he wants Arthit to find him. The photographs are nothing but clues to find him. Why go for such elaborate ways to hide oneself as well as give oneself up Arthit doesn't really understand.

One thing for sure , the person knows this bait will work on Arthit....how does he know?? How did the manuscripts end up with him...

Google at least helps Arthit to  solve the mystery beach and the house.

" Koh lipe beach near the border of Malaysia" he utters to himself after Google search.He doesn't even notice Kong is still sitting in front of him and observing his every move. Arthit quickly writes an email to his boss asking for a week long leave.

Todd almost falls down from his chair receiving a leave application from Arthit. He never asks for leave . It must be some emergency and he doesn't want another resignation letter on the table  like the last time when he answered negative for a pet project writer of Arthit . He approves the leave with a note attached ," pls be online during office hours . Happy holidays."

Arthit quickly replies back in positive, it's obvious that he will be working through his pad and will be always online during office hours. He quickly sends  a reassuring mail back. He knows his boss is a good guy they may have their misunderstandings but Todd has been his support from day one and ultimately always bends to his whims and supports all the projects he takes upon himself. 

After long time Arthit feels relaxed , a small smile starts appearing on his lips.

" Where are you planning to go?"

Arthit realizes now that Kong is here and has seen everything.

," Not your concern"

" It is my concern, I am going with you, you are not going in search or this weirdo who is sending you all these things.. ..alone. It can be a trap too."

" Why will someone want to lure me into a trap?" Arthit naively asked.

" Have you seen yourself in mirror, why will anyone not wanna trap you.??" Kong instantly regrets his words, but this is so true.. he can't never let Arthit go  in this wild goose chase ..alone.. He is going along with him , ..Arthit likes it or not.

Arthit stares at him silently.

" Why?" He asks

" If that night at the club and in my bed  was not proof enough, then let me tell you clearly, I like you , have been liking you for long time now ,though my own idiot mind refused to acknowledge it.

Moreover I don't get a good feeling about this, so you want it or not Arthit rojanapat I am your travel partner for this wild Adventure you are embarking based on some photos and creepy manuscripts." Kong says what he had to say ultimately.

Someday he has to open his heart,.. to bleed or to mend ...that time can only tell. For now he can only pray hope and love with all his heart and try to turn the wheels of fate in his favor.

Arthit looks at Kong silently, ..the only sound in the room is from the old wall clock and occasional ping of emails . After what  seems like hours he just utters one word, which Kong will later  find out will change his future,  destiny , his  life path, everything...

" Ok."
