-----------------------------------------------------------
Singto watched the television with dull eyes. It was Krist's interview. And like always, he was happy and chirpy and flirting with his co- star.
One particular thing he said made him remember their time together.
When they used to be with each other, every single day.
It had been three years since then.
Since sotus ended.
Since they parted ways.
Since this pain, permanently engraved itself inside him.
Since he entered this endless loop of hopeless love.
Since he realised, loving someone can bring so much pain too.
He smiled bitterly as Krist named his current crush.
There was a time, when Krist had always carried Singto's name on his lips.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Singto clenched his jaws and felt suffocated as he watched Krist introducing his new girlfriend to everyone.
Why can't it be him?
Was it because he was male?
Or from same profession?
He had almost believed that they had something.
Was it all an act?
Was everything fake?
Was anything even real?
That's what happens when you mix fiction and reality.
It had made him want more.
It had made him want to be real .
It had made him hope.
What if?
What if there was something special?
What if they were together?
What if, he had taken a chance, stepped forward and grabbed the opportunity with both his hands.
What if.... no, he won't think anymore.
He smiled charmingly as Krist came to him with his new girlfriend.
Singto's manners were impeccable. Afterall, he wasn't an actor for nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------
Singto browsed through their old Instagram pictures.
Those were the days, when they used to take pictures of smallest of things they did together.
But now, they rarely do.
Let alone pictures, they rarely ever meet.
Now that the sotus fever had died , he doubt if there will be any in the future.
And nowadays, Krist's Instagram was filled with pictures of him with his girlfriend.
No, he can't look anymore.
Frustrated, he threw away his phone.
Only when his vision blurred a little, did he realised he was shedding tears.
Angry tears.
-----------------------------------------------------------
He remembers when it all started. They were done with everything regarding their drama together, and moved on with their next projects.
And naturally, they became farther apart.
With each lessened phone call,
With each lessened messages,
And each lessened meet ups.
Singto realised, he missed Krist more and more.
And it took him 3 months to realise that he was in love.
A love, which had given him nothing but pain.
----------------------------------------------------------
He was exiting the airport. And Krist was entering it.
And even amongst the hordes of fans, Singto spotted him immediately.
And waited for Krist to look back.
He never did.
He felt choking.
Thank god he was wearing shades.
Was he so inconsequential now that Krist doesn't even notice him.
He pasted a smile on his face.
Krist had moved on.
So should he.
----------------------------------------------------------
Singto was getting along well with his new co actor and there were many speculations regarding them.
Now, they were the new hot couple of Thailand.
And they were everywhere.
In the TV.
In the newspaper.
In magazines.
In radio.
Atleast it served one purpose.
It kept him away from dwelling on Krist.
And when his co-actor had confessed for real, he agreed.
----------------------------------------------------------
"P'Sing"
Singto's heart sped up and his voice got stuck.
"Looks like you moved on", he continued.
Singto clutched his chest. Why did it hurt him so much?
"I moved on too"
Singto bit his lips from sniffling loudly.
"I wish you luck. But you know what, all this time, I have liked you so much Sing", and he quickly ended the call.
God, is this love or punishment?
And if it is, when will it end?
--------------------------end-------------------------
I don't know how it came out.
So your reviews are welcome.
