Follow The Invisible Moon

"To follow the star, use a compass and a map,

but to follow the Invisible Moon, use nothing."

For normal people, it would seem almost impossible if you wanted to catch a glimpse of the Invisible Moon.

Many fans wanted to see P'In so badly but couldn't, as P'In would always hide himself. While I wasn't a UNISTAR fan, and wasn't a P'In fan either, I was somehow a fading person who was able to see P'In.

Nevertheless, I still couldn't stop wondering.

I dreamt of becoming a popular person. I imagined I would be so proud and happy. Wherever I went, I would always get attention. However, P'In was a celebrity. He had everything a person like me could only desire, but his behaviour was like myself in the past.

P'In was really strange.

I secretly followed P'In and kept a distance, until P'In stopped under a stairway of the overpass near my university. There was an old man wearing dirty clothes sleeping under an old blanket.

"Good morning." P'In greeted and sat with him without showing any disgust or fear on his face.

"Oh, you're here again today?"

"For you." P'In said shortly, handing a meal box to that old man.

"Thank you." The old man took it.

"I'm troubling you again. You don't have to bring it to me every day, I don't want to bother you too much, young man."

"It's okay." P'In said while opening another meal box and ate together with the old man.

"Thank you so much, you are very good at cooking."

P'In and the old man were eating together, I wondered whether he was an acquaintance of P'In.

Naturally, looking at someone eating made me hungry as well, so I took out some deep-fried bananas to eat along.

"The rainy season is coming, you could get sick. May I help you find a room?" P'In asked.

"It's okay." The old man replied. "I don't want to trouble you. I'm waiting for my son to take me home. My family has a lot of debt and he is afraid that the usurer will come for us, so it's not safe to stay at home. He asked me to leave temporarily. My son promised that he will take me back home after paying all the debt."

The old man's face looked so lively when he was talking about his son.

"If I moved to other places," the old man continued. "I'm afraid my son can't find me. It's fine, young man, I can still wait here."

P'In listened quietly while eating.

I didn't understand why my tears came out when I heard the old man's story. Even though I was just a fading person, I still read a lot of books and news. Since I didn't have many friends, the books I read became my friends. I knew this sort of thing often happened in Thailand, especially among poor families without access to sufficient education.

In the case of this old man, if his son was indeed good, how could he let his father suffer like this? If he was really afraid that the usurer would harm his father, he should find a better shelter instead of letting his father stay homeless like this. Wouldn't this be more dangerous than the usurer?
