You Against I

XVI

Sarawat stares at Tine for an answer but Tine was looking at the sky instead and was smiles sadly. Sarawat was running out of patience as he kept staring at Tine.

"Tine I'm asking you something?" Sarawat pulls Tine to face him and looks at him angrily

"What do you want to know?" Tine asked Sarawat. Tine looked lifeless, no matter how hard Tine tries but he can't stop himself from being affected by Sarawat's presence

"Why are you with P'Kong suddenly?? Just a few days ago our engagement broke off! And today you're announcing that you are getting married to him!"

"Because we want it," Tine replies blankly.

"What kind of answer is that??" Sarawat shouted in annoyance

"Sarawat..... dad has a brain tumour, he won't be able to make it" Tine whispers, the tears started falling from his eyes as he looked at Sarawat who was stunned by the news.

Sarawat knew that Tine's father was sick but he didn't know that it was so serious, he was totally shocked.

"This is dad's last wish, he wants to see me married," Tine said sadly, Sarawat looks at Tine in disbelief

"And just because of that you're going to ruin your whole life?? He will be dead but you will be the one who will suffer...." Before Sarawat could finish his words Tine slapped him.

Tine was sobbing as he looks him in disguise, Sarawat's eyes widen as he realised his mistake and spoke

"Tine! I didn't mean it like...." But Tine didn't let him finish his words

"He's my dad Sarawat! Do you know how it feels to lose your love ones?! One by one everyone is leaving me! First Type abandoned me! Then you left me too and now dad...... Do you know how I feel? Have you any idea about my suffering??" Tine shouted at Sarawat

"Tine..." Sarawat tries to grab Tine's hand but a Tine pushed him away

"I have no one, no one...I'm all alone! Soon dad will leave me too......." Tine cried, Sarawat wanted to pull Tine into his arms but he was too shocked to do that.

"I'm sorry..." Sarawat whispers

"Sorry doesn't fix anything Sarawat, it just acts like salt on the wound. Reminding us about our pain every single time" Tine chuckles as he spoke

"But will you be able to live an unloved marriage?" Sarawat asked looking at Tine

"I lived with your hate for a year, it's not a big deal. At least I won't be in pain anymore" Tine replies as more tears fall from his eyes.

"You have gone paranoid! You're taking all this decision emotionally !! P'Kong doesn't love you" Sarawat held Tine's shoulder and shakes him in anger

"Sarawat..... Did you love me? Is there any difference whether I am engaged to You or to P'Kong? Well, there is actually one difference......" Tine smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes.

"What difference ?" Sarawat was confused

"I loved you......... I still love you but I don't I will be able to love P'Kong" Tine replies

"You're going to end up hurting more..." Sarawat whispers

"There's nothing left to break in me, I'm alive for others but deep inside I'm dead" Tine walks closer to Sarawat and touches his face.

"Farewell Sarawat..."

Meanwhile.....

Kongpop was worried, he didn't wish to leave Tine alone with Sarawat. He knew how badly Sarawat affects Tine and was worried about him.
