Everybody seemed to be enjoying the night. Aroon should've been with me tonight. We could've been meeting the new year together. I didn't know what happened last night. I couldn't explain it. I can't contain the confusion I am feeling right now.

"Bpen arai Dew? Are you okay?"
P'Ivan handed me a bottle of beer.

"Sabaidee Pi. Mai dtong huang. I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I said. I took the beer and took a gulp from the bottle spout. It was cold. Same as how cold I was that night.

"Is there something going on?" P'Ivan would be the first one to notice if I was alright or not.

"Mai mee Pi. Chang man thuh! Nothing bro. Forget about it."
I'd always try my best to shrug it off and get away with thinking about it. I didn't want to talk about what I'm feeling either.

"Aroon yu nai? Where's Aroon? I always thought you guys are insepara..."

I interrupted P'Ivan.
"Pi, let's not spoil the night, shall we?"

I took another gulp from my beer and left P'Ivan. I know I was being hysterical and all.

"Kortod khrab Pi. I need to be alone right now. Sorry."

I don't normally act like this especially in front of P'Ivan, my older brother. But I wasn't myself this new year's eve. I miss Aroon so much. He didn't do anything wrong. He doesn't deserve this. He might be as confused as I am.

I don't know who's responsible for this. I've dealt with the pain of Chompoo leaving me for months. Aroon was there for me. He took care of my heart when I thought I was loosing it.
Then, all my speculations were confirmed.

I discovered something about Aroon. Chompoo had something more to her past than I thought. She left me for somebody I see everyday. And I couldn't believe it. Such a small world.

But what really struck me was when we were all surprised to ask one question all at the same time. It was a jinx moment for the four of us: Aroon, Chompoo, Thep and I. A very awkward situation.
