"Please welcome, Krist Perawat!", the host announced as the handsome singer and actor enters the stage.

He clears his throat as he waits for his cue to start singing. His heart is already heavy and his emotions are high. He doesn't know if he can pull this off but the show must go on.

At that very moment, in the airport.

"Khun Singto, double check your papers and luggages.", P'Jane reminded the dashing lad who is now having an internal battle.

His eyes are restless, scanning the crowd ever since he arrived there, hoping that he will see that most important person aside from his father who is accompanying him at the boarding entrance right now. His heart is becoming heavier as the time for his departure is nearing. There is a huge lump forming in his throat.

"Little turtle

"Little turtle.. Where are you?", he asked himself.

The time seems to move slowly, everything is in a slow motion. His feet almost couldn't move further, his heart is slowly shattering into pieces.

"Don't let me hold you back.. It's still far from here.. You still have dreams that you have to reach for.. Don't get caught up with me.. From now on.. Not having me is better..", Krist began singing at the stage where he is currently holding a fanmeet.

"Are you not really coming to see me off?", Singto kept asking in his mind, still scanning the crowd.

P'Jane and his dad are nudging him to get ready for boarding, giving him hugs before bidding goodbye.

"Today I'll send you off.. With tears I'll send you off.. And let you find your best path.. While I watch you from right here.. And what you see is just some dust getting in my eyes.. I'm not crying..", Krist continued.

His heart and mind are in chaos knowing that today, his beloved man is leaving for god knows until when.

They didn't have the chance to talk again since that evening. He couldn't bring himself to see him again.

"Don't look back.. Don't worry that I'll be sad.. Just being able to love each other in the past is good.. Don't worry that anything is wrong with me.. I just ask that you get the best from your own path..", his tears began to fall.

"Kit.. Can't I see you one last time?", Singto kept asking, losing hope. As the entrance for departing passengers closes.

"We both know.. We know full well.. I don't have enough to make you happy like that. You should find the best path for you.. Tomorrow you must find a better person.. And today I must send you off.. With tears I'll send you off.. And let you find your best path.. While I watch from here..", the sound echoed as if travelling in the air, reaching out to Singto's mourning heart.

"Good bye, Little Turtle..", Singto whispered into the air as his tears rolled down his cheeks as if trying to wash his sadness away but it only worsened.

"What you see is just some dust getting in my eyes.. I'm not crying.. Don't look back. Don't worry that I'll be sad.. Just being able to love each other in the past is good.. Don't worry that anything is wrong with me.. I just want you to get the best from your own path.. I just want you to get the best from your own path.. For you to find the things you once dreamed of.. I don't have enough to lead you there.. I'll agree to let you go. It's okay.. Don't worry.. And what you see is just some dust getting in my eyes.. I'm not crying..", Krist sang wholeheartedly, hoping that his solemn prayer for his P'Sing's well being will reach him, his eyes are soaked in tears.

The crowd clapped and were touched by Krist's singing, oblivious of what the handsome lad is actually feeling.

Like in a slow motion picture, the plane takes off, carrying the most valuable person in Krist's life, sending him off with the saddest melody in his heart. As the plane faded into the sky, the latter slowly bowed down, his feelings buried in the fading sound of music, suppressing his agony behind his forced smile and his treacherous tears.
