The Story Of San & Wil

Chapter 9

While the boy went to shower I headed to the kitchen and started cooking noodles for him.

Suddenly my phone rang I took it and looked at the screen. It's from an unknown number.

" Hello " I picked it up.

[ Hello ]

Inside the phone came a man's voice that I felt I had heard somewhere but I don't know who is him.

" Who is this? ".

The person over there didn't make a sound for a while. I guess he might press the wrong number.

" If you don't want to answer me then I will... "

But the man cut me off

[ I'm San, San... Tipputchai ]

I think I've heard that name.

Then I tried to remember all the people I had met before and my brain plays back that night when me and Saun at the bar meeting a man who is quite tall and good looking and that name also came out from Saun’s mouth.

San, is that man who saved me and Saun from ex-boyfriend?

Suddenly my heart racing so fast for no reason and couldn't calm down.

" Khun San? ".

[ Why you didn't call me? ].

Eh?  Why must I call you? that's what I planned to ask him but I held back and changed it with another answer.

" But K.San told me to contact you when I have a problem and currently I'm not in trouble so I didn't call you. "

In fact, the name card he gave me I already threw it away even I'm in trouble now I also will not call him because I already say that I wouldn't strangle myself with a straight man. Not anymore.

But damn why this heart beats faster every second ?.

Please don't come to mess with my innocent little heart when I try to live peacefully I don't want to grow hope for my heart.

[ Did I say that? I don't remember ].

Yeah right,  of course, you won't remember rich people like you a day will surely meet many people how could you remember what you said to me ?.

" Yes, you did K.San "

[ Oh ]

He gave me a short answer.

Dda ddum dda ddum my heart still dancing.

I can't let this continue just by hearing his voice enough to make me have a heart attack.  What if we meet later?  maybe I'll die huh?.

" Erm, K.San why are you calling me?  Is there something I can help you with? ".

[ Hmhm ]

He cleared his throat.  That's weird, why do I feel he's nervous over there?.

[ You will come to my grandma's birthday party, right? ].

" Can I say no? "

[ NO ]

So what is the point he is asking since I can't refuse it?

" Then yes ".

[ See you at the party ].

Just like he ended the call and didn't even have the chance to say good night to him.

That's rude.

But my mood now is boiling with happiness I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

If this happiness could last forever.

" P,  I've finished showering "  one voice brought me back to the reality

Daw came out of the bathroom with wet hair and he was wearing my ex-boyfriend's clothes.

Ugh, I hate those clothes because makes me remember my ex-boyfriend but never mind after tonight I won't see it again.

Daw returned to the couch and I brought the cooked noodles to the for him.

" Here eat "

He obediently ate it then I went to get water for him.

When I returned to the living room.  the boy is still eating his noodles.  I slowly put the water in front of him

" Thank you " Daw thanked me.

I saw his wet hair still dropping the remaining water

'' Dry your hair after eating.  Go to that cupboard and there is a hairdryer " I pointed at the cupboard in my room

He nodded.

From the beginning until now why is this kid so obedient?  the more I see him the more satisfied I am.  Daw is like a pet that obeys their master.

After eating he really went to dry his hair.

I'm still sitting on the couch waiting for him to finish and planning to have some talks with him before telling him to go home.

A few minutes later he finished and walked back to the couch.

He sat facing me.

" So why are you drunk at the front store? " I lead the conversation.

Actually this is none of my business I could have told him to go home after helping him but my curiosity killed me.

" Don't bother lying to me " I warned him before he answered my question.

He was hesitating for a long time.  It is okay I am rich with time so I can wait when he is willing to tell me.

" I secretly fell in love with my senior for almost 2 years and today when I gather all my courage to express my feelings to her, she happily says she has a boyfriend. It's damn hurt P "

As he answered me his tears began to fall I could feel his pain.

I did not cut him off but let him continue

" I really love her "

Ugh, I am fed up with these words ' really love ' my ex-boyfriend often said those words to me, but in the end look what he did to me?.

Daw looked down and continued to cry.

In my eyes now he is just a young boy who needs advice and console from someone.

Without thinking long I brought my ass sitting next to him and said

" here I lend you my shoulder " I patted my shoulder.

Sometimes you only need someone's shoulders to make you feel better just that simple.

With surprise, he looked at me.

I did not wait for him to react, I immediately put his head on my shoulder.

At first, I thought he would reject me but I forgot he was an obedient kid.

And that's when I started giving advice like a monk

" Cry as much as you can, cry out all the burdens in your heart but after that live better than now..... the world won't stop just because you are sad so why don't try to live more happily? . You are still young, your life still got a long way to go you will meet a lot of people don't just because of one woman you destroy yourself it's not worth it ".

I am very moved by myself.  I'm like an older brother who advises his brother that just broken-hearted.

" If she can't see your love then go find someone else who also loves you.... who can see your love clearly and appreciate it.

I know it's not easy but trust me what you need is time.... a time to think and a time to heal yourself  ".

I do not know whether Daw listen to my words or not but I know all those words I say are from the bottom of my heart. I hope at least it can make him better.

We were in that position for half an hour.

After making sure Daw was better I told him to go home because it's already too late so I told him to take a taxi instead of riding his motorbike.

I think I really am his ancestor haha.  How can a boy I just met so obeys to me?.

During the time we wait for the taxi Daw  finally spoke with me first

" Thank you so much P, can I know your name ?  ".

" Wil that's my name ". He smiled stupidly at me.

I'm glad that he is really better now.

" Then can I have your number? "

" No "  I flatly refused.

Then I saw him take a pen from his bag and came to me to write his number on my hand

 " Don't forget to call me P ".

Shortly after the taxi arrived.  While waving at me Daw entered the taxi and I returned to my condo it looks like I had to sleep here tonight.

Before going to bed I went to wash my teeth and accidentally saw the number in my hand.

I sighed without thinking I opened the water and washed my hands.

And then went to sleep soundly

—————————————————————————————-—————————————————————————————

On the night of San's grandma birthday party, I came with  Joss and Saun

Me and Saun were amazed by the luxurious party and the guests inside

This is how a rich party looks like.

When we were looking around.  

Joss  suddenly told us not to wander around me and Saun obediently nodded.

After Joss walked away Saun began to drag me to the place where the food was.

I refused at first after all Joss is my boss but Saun strongly pulled me with him.

When come to food I really forgot everything.

Me and Saun were enjoying the food at the party as if we were in heaven

Out of nowhere Joss walking towards us scolding me and Saun?

Then followed by a man who managed to make my heart beating.

Woah it seems like they both are not in a good mood at the moment.

Then Joss left me with San he brought Saun to somewhere else.

In my heart, I felt bad towards Saun for breaking my promise because before coming here I had promised Saun not to leave him with Joss no matter what happened but I had no choice

" I'm sorry my friend " I secretly spoke in my heart.

But why did I have to be with  San in fact I also didn't want to be alone with San I want to control my own heart.

San is just so charming, everyone will fall in love with him, including myself if we are given more opportunity to spend time with him.

I guess karma exists

I sent my friend to the lion's mouth it turns out I also sent myself to the crocodile's mouth.

San brings me to look around his house. The luxury of San's house-made my jaw dropped.  San's family really rich if only I was rich, then my family would not suffer and broke, and maybe my relationship with my father will still be fine.

I didn't talk much just silently hear every word from San

until we found  San's grandmother sitting on the couch she looks tired.

" Khun Ya " San called his grandmother while approaching her.

And I just standing in a place not far from the couch didn't follow after him I was afraid of disturbing them.

They both had a small talk before K.San called me went to them.

I greet his grandmother and I was so nervous when wish her a happy birthday.

Suddenly San and his grandma laughed at me I don't understand what they are laughing at.

After showing his luxury house to me.

Me and San ended up on a balcony where we could see the scenery around San's house and all the guests at the party from above.

None of us spoke first only the sound of the wind filling us. I feel a little awkward so in the end, I opened my mouth first because I wanted to break the silence between me and San 

 " Thank you K. San because invited me to your grandma's birthday party even though we just met ".

San didn't answer me. His eyes continued to be fixed on the scenery below.  I who was beside him also followed his gaze and found two people I knew were standing among the guests in the corner.

" Has Saun ever told you about Joss?" Suddenly San throw this question to me

" No "

" They were lovers but broke up five years ago "  I knew it there is something between them it turns out they are lovers in the past judged by their behaviors I think Joss and Saun still in love with each other.

Even though Saun already told me that he would tell him about his relationship with Joss one day when he is ready but I can't be helped I really curious what the reason they broke up so I asked

" Why? ".

"Joss never told me the real reason but from what I've heard Saun cheated on him ".

" No way, Saun isn't that kind of person " I angrily said

Innocent people like Saun won't do that. There's must be a misunderstanding between them. I can't accept someone who said my friend is a cheater.

San looked at me sharply.

" Joss is my brother and he has suffered enough in these few years, I will not let anyone hurt him again ".

I don't let my gaze less sharp than San's I coldly replied " Then you think I'll let someone hurt Saun? ".

I thought we will argue but  San grinned at me instead " We can be a good friend you know? ".

That shocked me. He wants to befriend me.

" With a gay man like me? ". There's nothing to hide I believe with the incident at the bar is enough to make San know who I am

" I don't mind " San stopped  then he justified his position to face me and said something that pierced my heart

" However, don't ever fall in love with me because I'm not into a man ".

My heart became cold.  I never think that San would be honest with me in fact this also good because I don't need to hope too high but why I feel disappointed in deep down of my heart.

I put on a bitter smile and answered "Don't worry, I won't ".

" Since we are friends now I think we have to get to know each other more deeply " San suggested

To be honest It's not a bad idea if we can't be lovers then we can be a very good best friend.

" I agree, what is K.San hobbies? " I ask the questions first.

Hobbies are the most important so I will know what I have to do if hang out with San.

" Playing golf, playing basketball and workout "

Damn none of them are my favorites. No wonder he has a good body.

" Then what about your hobbies? "

" Looking at handsome men "

San chuckled at me.

" Why?  I'm being honest though ".

" Besides looking at handsome men what is your other hobby?  "

I thought for a long time I really couldn't find out what my other hobbies. Just then food appears on my head.

" Go night market hunting for food "

I always do that with Saun but lately, we don't have time to go night market together.

" How is the night market?  "

It seems like this young master never been there.

" It's fun, K.San never go there? ".

San shook his head as expected.

" How about we go tomorrow? Are you free?  "

Wait? Did San just invite me to go night market with him?

I'm so happy I'm so happy. Calm your ass down Wil.

I tried to calm down.

" Yes tomorrow I'm in morning  shift until 5 pm so I can go with you "

" That's great, you want me to fetch you tomorrow?  "

" No need  krub after work I will go straight to the night market so we can meet at there "

" If you say so " San squeeze a smile for me.

Ahhh he is the most handsome man I have ever met.

But is it okay for him to leave the guest and chat with me here?.

"Mm, K. San don't you have to greet guests? "

" I got my sister and brother to greets them ".

Then I look at the watch. It's time for me to leave.

I said goodbye to him but after a few steps, San called me.

"Wil " that sounds so warm

I turned around facing him.

" hah? "

" See you tomorrow Jaa " San put another smile to me.

I feel my heart is about to burst out.

" Krub " I'm like a shy girl running away.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

I returned home using a taxi without Saun and Joss because I knew they needed time to be together so didn't go bother them that night I was so excited until I could not sleep knowing I would meet San tomorrow.

The next day after I finished working I headed straight to the night market

From 5:30 pm to 8 pm I waited for San at the night market.

San didn't show up. He also didn't call me.  I tried calling him several times but unfortunately, his cellphone was not active.

I try to stay positive maybe San's cellphone has no battery.  I told myself he would appear he definitely will.

As time goes on, the person I'm waiting for still doesn't show up. I don't know what to do?  So I kept waiting with hope San will come.

It's okay to be late like I said I'm rich with time so I could wait for San as long as he appeared I'm willing to wait for him.

I keep waiting until the night market closes. What I'm waiting for is empty.

San didn't show up that night makes me like a fool waiting for him from 5:30 pm to 2 am.

What did I do to get this treatment from everyone while my heart tries to live peacefully?

Just why?.
