We Meet Again 》

chapter 9

"Oon" arthit's mother called as she put her phone aside

"Yes mom?" Arthit replied, eyes never leaving the book he was reading

"You remember namtan?" She asked smiling

"Your best friend's daughter? Who went abroad a few years ago?" Arthit asked back finally closing the book

"Yeah, she came back last week and is visiting us today, in the evening" she informed

"That's great, it will be good to catch up with an old friend" arthit replied smiling at the thought of meeting his best friend of his childhood days

Time passes away in the blink of an eye when you are anticipating things, as the same happened at the Rojanapat household. It was already evening, and namtan would be home any minute

"Arthit! Open the door, I think I heard the bell ring" arthit's father who was home from work an hour ago, yelled

"Yes dad" arthit yelled back before walking towards the main door

Pulling it open, arthit found her standing in front of him with a smile on her face making arthit naturally smile back

"Hey, long time no see" namtan said chuckling

"Says the one who went to abroad without even telling me" arthit replied rolling his eyes

Namtan hit arthit's shoulder playfully who laughed and led her inside, both arthit's parents greeted namtan nothing less than their own daughter

"Its been so long since we last saw you, you grew much more beautiful honey" arthit's mother complimented

"I never knew you had such deep dimples nam, you envied arthit for them in early times" arthit's father chuckled

"Guess, god was tired of me complaining and so finally granted my wish" namtan chuckled

"They are rather deep" arthit spoke poking her dimples making her giggle

"Though arthit, you should show her around, a lot has changed since she left" arthit's father suggested

"Sure dad, shall we?" Arthit asked elbowing namtan

"After you sir" namtan bowed as arthit flipped his imaginary hair, walking towards the door with namtan following him behind

"They are still as close as before" arthit's father said

"I would love them to be even closer though" arthit's mother winked

Arthit's father sighed at her "every mother is the same" attitude before walking back to his newspaper

"So how was Australia?" Arthit asked

"It was good, I missed the familiarity though" namtan replied

"Hmm, so where next?" Arthit asked looking at her, admiring the view

"I am going to bangkok, I have got a good job there" namtan replied

"Bangkok? I work there" arthit replied surprised

"Do you? That's a pleasant surprise" namtan replied smiling

"I know right, where are you staying in bangkok though?" Arthit asked

"At my friends house for the time being, I still gotta find an apartment yet" namtan replied

Arthit hummed in response before turning to look at the view again as namtan did the same

"You turned even more handsome with the time" namtan suddenly complimented

"Was that genuine?" Arthit asked giggling

Namtan smiled at him as she nodded

"Thanks nam" arthit replied smiling back at her

At kongpob's home

"What the hell is happening?" Kongpob asked himself irritated

Kongpob was trying to finish a very important file of his, and it kept on glitching, he grew frustrated, as he decided to switch the laptop off for a while

Walking towards the kitchen, he made himself some coffee, his life saviour so far. Picking up the mug, he walked over to the balcony and sat on the armchair, sipping his coffee at uniform intervals

And as always, his mind wandered around at random thoughts, things related to his work, his family, his old friends and specifically his arthit

Arthit...the name he once felt immensely happy about, as soon as he heard, and now he just felt miserable. He couldn't blame arthit for not responding his feelings but nor could he feel guilty himself for loving him, it isn't his fault

Kongpob sighed, rubbing his temple, the memories he wants to forget seems to be in love with him. He chuckled at his sad humour before sipping the coffee again

Kongpob knew arthit had his freedom, freedom to choose his life partner, to love anyone he wants but it still hurts, it hurts in the deepest corner of his heart

Earth, she seemed a lively person, she was beautiful too, had the same choices as arthit and made arthit comfortable, maybe she is the one for him, his perfect better half

"Maybe...it's her" Kongpob whispered

I purple you 💜
