Chapter 3: Make A Deal (Part 2)

"Peemmmm, Ai Peemmm!!!"

"Shout louder to let my mother in Chiang Mai can hear too."

"I called you but you didn't answer. So in conclusion, will I be able to drink alcohol today? You brew for so long that I thought you're making tea. Damn it. What are you so distracted by? Or are you missing Phum?" Just hearing his name made my blood pressure rise, my body trembling all over. Plus Q's laughter made me even more angry.

"I miss your father. Don't let me hear his name."

"Oh, who said it is good?" Chan asked, taking the glass of liquor from me and passing it to Q. "I didn't say it is good. I just said that we had cleared things up."

It was a Saturday afternoon when I should have gotten some sleep. Rest both body and mind after experiencing a rough adventure. But my four best friends couldn't let that moment happen. They flocked to my house, bringing medicine liquor and grilled fish. I really wanted to know if you guys have a lot of free time. You don't need to study? Don't need to write any papers? Don't need to submit any assignments? Don't go out with your girlfriend? With your family?

We set up a mat on the front porch of the house. Tan was trying to connect speakers to play music. Next to him was a pile of morning glory that looked like a small mountain. He said that he would like to show off his skills in stir frying on big fire, so he asked us to help him pick out only the top portion. You have to pick one stem at a time because if you use a knife to cut all of them at a time, it will be against the recipe. As for Pan, he was carrying the remaining morning glory roots and walking around the house. He was looking for a place to plant them. Looks like aunt Pui's rose bed had new friends if the morning glory could survive. Luckily today I was home alone. Otherwise, aunt Pui would probably have been embarrassed by the fact that they had formed a band so early in the day.

In this house there was only me and aunt Pui living together. During the weekends, she usually went to Grandma's house in Nonthaburi. As for me, I was mentally unstable and sometimes slept in a rented house with Joe's group, sometimes in the Faculty, depending on my mood and necessity. If next time I have time and opportunity I will tell you about my family. As for today, I wanted to save my life from being interrogated by these ghosts first.

The story was that late morning, those four bastards marched up to my bedroom. Then they started reciting incantations until I had to wake up. They interrogated me about the event that happened yesterday without paying the slightest care to how drowsy and dazed I was. Chan, Tan, Q, I could understand because they were the ones who were at the scene. It's not strange that they were nosy. But Pan, why did he come with them? I wasn't sure how much Pun knew about what happened between me and Phum. Normally, he didn't care much about what's going on in other people's lives. Unless the person in question is the one who comes to tell it themselves. And I can guarantee that the information will definitely be safe and will not be leaked because he forgets it right after listening to them.

The fact that Pan was sitting here with his eyes shining and joining together in a circle was putting pressure on me. It is expected that he did it with high spirits. He probably didn't even know what those three bastards were trying to get from me. He just saw his friends doing it so he did it as well because he thought it was fun. It's like playing the role of a detective. Which I thought I guessed correctly.

"What are you two talking about? I don't understand, but I really like it. It's so much fun. Tan, should we put handcuffs on Peem? Like in Law and Order, really cool." When Pan finished speaking, Chan and Tan acted as a reporter and told Pan my story. Then I heard only the word "Wow, Wow, and Wow" coming out of Pan's mouth without stopping. In the end, I had to repeat the lie to them that between me and Phum, it ended well, there were no problems, nothing unresolved. But it seems that my lying skills were probably defective since birth. The four friends didn't seem to believe me at all.
