"Did you take your medicine na, Gulf?" His auntie inquired

"I did auntie, I'll take my leave"

Gulf was suffering from heart disease, arrhythmia to be specific. It is a heart disease that has a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern.

As a child, Gulf has become careful on his surrounding, afraid to trigger his illness, he also can't move too much, he was guarded by his parents 24/7 just incase his illness occur. Fortunately, his illness hasn't attacked for some quite long already

It was his third day on his new work and everything is doing well

"Good morning na Phi" Gulf greet the person in the counter as he enters the cafe

"Sawadee nong, espresso, and a latte?"

"Yup, also a fruit salad"

"So how was working in the company so far?"

"Good, it was good everyone was friendly and welcoming it was nice" Gulf smiled

"Well that's good to hear"

After taking their drink and his fruits Gulf then walk his way to the company

"Good morning" he greets the receptionist, Del

Arriving at the 10th floor Gulf also greet Bass and Kimmon, there are also other workers he meets

"Is Mr.Suppasit arrive yet?"

"No" Bass shortly answer

Gulf enters his office to put down his things and foods then enter Mew office. He put down Mew drink and was about to leave when a painting caught his eyes

A silhouette painting of two guys, one in a sunny and lively atmosphere while the other is in a full moon and dark place. A picture where the other is happily swinging by the tree while the other is looking at a broken heart.

Unknowingly, Gulf touch the painting where the guy is holding a broken heart

Do I know this painting? I know I've seen it somewhere

"Gulf?"

Gulf flinch as he hears his name being called

"A-ah si-ir Good morning" he greets "I'm sorry for touching the painting, it's just.... it's just I have seen this painting somewhere"

Mew takes off his coat and stands beside Gulf.

"Beautiful?"

"It does"

"Type paint this"

Gulf look at Mew who keep looking at the painting

"He said this first picture of a boy show the innocence of a kid while this one shows the heartbreak of a man"

As if a light bulb appears on Gulf head, he claps his hand and look at Mew

"I remember now, I once paint the same thing if I remember correctly the boy who's swinging has a heart shape balloon, but.... it has a different meaning"

"What is?"

"I paint the same image when I was in high school... you see I have heart failure, my heartbeats in an irregular beat so I can't participate in such event, during our PE I used to stay at the art room and paint. I paint this same image before but this guy" Gulf point at the boy who was swinging "This guy is the me that I want to be and this guys is me that I wish it wasn't me"
