How many days was it?
2? No 3 days.
How could Phana forget. Because it was 3 most difficult days.
On the fourth day, Phana had carried on as usual. Doing his work and keeping his distance from Arthit.
He knew there would come a time when Arthit would ask him about it, but what would he say?
He didn't knew and haven't thought about it.
That time came in the evening itself, when phana had purposely came home late.
It was 11 pm.
And phana had expected Arthit to be sleeping by now.
And he was sleeping.
With his head laying on dining table, with various food spread out and waiting for phana.
He felt like crying.
What had he done to deserve a person like him?
He slowly went near Arthit and gently woke him up, " P'Arthit".
Arthit opened his eyes and smiled at him sleepily, " oh you are back. Come let's have dinner."
Phana smiled and sat down to have dinner.
When they were done, Arthit demanded to be carried to the bed.
Which phana obliged.
When he was laying Arthit down on the bed, a goodnight kiss was demanded.
Which phana obliged too.
But when he was straightening up, Arthit had grabbed his shirt and pulled him on top of him.
At which phana got up at once.
Arthit, very hurt, asked," why phana , why?"
What could he say?
What should he say?
" Let's talk tomorrow P"
With that, Phana changed his clothes and settled on the bed.
And heard sniffling.
Immediately he looked towards Arthit. His back was towards Phana, but he could sense Arthit crying.
And phana felt like crying himself.
What had he done?
The one person he never wanted to hurt, he had made him cry.
Choking, he called, "P"
" Shut up", came the muffled reply.
Phana scooted closer, and tried turning Arthit his side.
And Arthit yelled," go away!!"
Phana sighed and made a decision, tomorrow he would clear everything up and make up with Arthit.
-----------------------------------------------------
But tomorrow saw phana waking up to an empty bed, with no sign of Arthit.
He left early today?
He had upset Arthit more than he thought.
But in the evening, he will make it up for it.
If Arthit wanted to slap him, he will take it.
If Arthit wanted him to sleep on the floor, he will do it.
If Arthit wanted to shout at him, he will listen to it
He will do anything to gain his forgiveness.
With that thought in mind he carried on his day.
-
----------------------------------------------------
Phana thought he would beg for forgiveness as soon as he reached home.
But what he didn't expect, was to be slammed roughly on the wall and to be kissed fiercely.
" You got bored of me, didn't you!! And you are thinking of leaving me!! Just so you listen, I will never let that happen!!", Arthit said angrily.
And before phana could say anything, he was silenced again.
Phana was in a daze, as he was dragged to the bedroom and shoved on the bed.
And he lost all his thinking capabilities as Arthit took the lead.
This was a brand new side of Arthit he was seeing.
And he was liking it very much!!
------------------------------------------------------
"So, what's the reason if not that", Arthit frowned.
" It was just me being silly P'Arthit. Please forgive me", Phana pleaded.
" I will forgive you, only when you tell me the reason"
Phana sighed," ok, fine. It's just that, I was getting distracted with thoughts of you during my work. So I thought of keeping some distance"
" So, did it work?"
" Not completely"
" Idiot!!", Arthit flicked Phana's forehead. " You need to train that mind of yours. Running away from a problem won't solve it"
" Yes, P'Arthit"
As they were lying on bed, Phana pulled Arthit closer and hugged him tightly.
He had missed this.
And never in his life would he push Arthit away again.
