"Sir," Arm called out for his boss' attention. "What's the matter?" Kongpob replied, eyes glued on his monitor's screen. "Miss Kaofah is here." Arm informed.

Kongpob looked at his secretary with a frowning look, "P'Fah?" Kongpob muttered, "Let her come in then," Kongpob instructed.

Right after Kongpob said it, a woman with a slender figure who was equally tall as he is and looking very elegant came inside his office with a small smile plastered on her face, "Kong," she called out. Being considerate as he is, Arm decided to leave to give the two a privacy.

Kongpob stood up and went towards her to greet her, "P'Fah, long time no see." He says, "Yeah, it's has been quite a while since I last saw you, my little brother."

"Sit," Kongpob offered, pointing onto a couch on the side. Kaofah took a seat and Kongpob joined her. "P'Fah, why are you here?" Kongpob asked his sister. Knowing her, she would never ever come to him without any reason.

"Kong, I saw the pictures," She started, "Everyone has been talking about that and I wanna know about it too." Kaofah looked at Kongpob with tenderness in her eyes. "Do you mind telling about it?"

With the look of his sister, Kongpob finally gave in and told her the whole story. Kongpob was not afraid of what would his sister would say and believe it or not, his two sisters was one of the few people whom accepted his and Arthit's relationship and even are friends with him before they broke up.

"So that's why you broke up with him," Kaofah muttered as Kongpob finally ended the story. For years, Kaofah had been wondering of why the two broke up when they were obviously happy together. For years, she had kept guessing of what was the reason was and why no one ever said a word. "But I get why Arthit was mad at you, Kong." She says, "You made him look like a fool by hiding the fact that you knew."

Kaofah sighed and continued, "But I couldn't blame you either. You were left with no choice but to do it." Kongpob then asked his sister a question, "Then, do you think I made the right choice?"

Kaofah caressed his brother's cheek and replied, "What do you think?" She paused for a second, "On one side you tried to protect them and on the other you hurt them."

That's right, he did hurt them. A lot. "Then, what do you think I should do, Phi?" Kongpob asked his sister. After a lot of disaster that happened, Kongpob finally didn't know what to do anymore.

"I think, you should let Arthit cool first before you do anything." Kaofah advices, "And you should too." She then held his hand, giving him an assuring smile.

"Here's you're milk!" Arthit says as he entered his son's room with a glass of milk on his hand. "Here." He placed the glass onto Amaris' table and pulled a chair to sit next to his son who was drawing something. "Thank you, papa!"

Arthit ruffled his son's hair and smiled, "What are you drawing?" He asked curiously. Amaris then confidently picked up the paper he had drawn and showed it to him, "A family picture." He proudly says.

"Family picture?" Arthit asked, completely confused. The drawing shows tom men on a left side, a man and a woman on the right, and on the middle of the four them was a little kid. "Yes!"

"This is you," Amaris pointed onto the man on the left next to the kid, "This is Khun Yai and Khun Phu," He says, pointing at the two people on right side, "Then this is me!" He then pointed on a little kid in the drawing, "Then, who's the other one next to me?" Arthit asked curiously. Amaris smiled widely and said, "It was uncle Kong!"

Arthit frown, A family picture with Kongpob in it?

"Why was he in here?" Arthit asked again as he gently took the paper from Amaris and looked at him directly, "It's a family picture, papa. Of course, uncle Kong would be there because he was my uncle, right?"

Arthit didn't replied to his son but he did nod at him.

Arthit looked at the picture once again and looked back at his son. "This was great." Arthit praised, giving his son a smile.

"Can we hang it papa?" Amaris asked as his eyes seemed filled with shining star. "Can we?" He asked again. Trying not to break Amaris happiness, Arthit just nodded his head, saying yes to his son.

"How about this, let's hang this on to the refrigerator tomorrow okay?" Arthit says, "Okay!"

Arthit placed the drawing on to the table and says, "Now, drink all your milk. It's time for bed!"

Amaris sulked a little and said, "Okay...." He took the glass and finished his milk obediently. After that, Arthit put his son onto bed. "Do you want papa to tell you a story?" Arthit asked, stroking Amaris' hair. "Yes!" Amaris answered.

Arthit began to tell him a story from one of his book and Amaris attentively listened. Halfway through the story, Amaris fell asleep hugging his papa. Arthit got out of his son's bed soon as he noticed Amaris was already asleep and placed his book back to its shelf. He then went on to tuck his son onto the blanket and placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

Before he leaves the room, he noticed his son's drawing that was laying on the table. He went over, grabbed it, and looked at it for a while and Arthit somehow felt happy seeing the drawing his son had made.

With a small smile in his face, Arthit put drawing back into the table and glanced at Amaris before he turned off the lights and completely left the room.

rthit was reviewing at the file that his subordinate sent to him when someone knocked on his office. "Come in!" He says and a young man, one of his subordinates, enter his office. "P'Arthit, someone was looking for you at the lobby."  The young man informed. "Who?" He surprisingly asked. For nearly six years of working here, no one had ever visited him in his company, except for clients, nor he expected to have a visitor.

"She didn't tell her name but she said she was a close friend of yours." The young man answered. "Close friend?" Arthit repeated, "Yes, that's what she told at the reception."

Arthit nodded his head, "Okay. I'll be there in a minute." The young man nodded his head and exited his office.

"Close friend? Who?" Arthit asked himself. Curious, he went down to the lobby to check to who had visited him.

When the elevator opened, he immediately started searching for that "close friend" of his. "Hey, Violet, who was looking for me?" Arthit asked the receptionist. "Oh, she's sitting right there Arthit!" Violet then pointed out to the woman sitting at a nearby couch with her back facing them, showing her perfectly curled hair.

Arthit thanked the receptionist and went towards her, "Hey, why are you looking for me?" He asked. The woman turned to him with a very beautiful smile and said, "Long time no see, Arthit."

Arthit frowned, "Kaofah?"
