1129 Words
The purpose of my coming here is not for lunch. I came here because I wanted to meet that boy but today is his off day so what's the point I'm still here?.
But I also can't just leave that would invite their suspicion.
Ah, whatever I'm not in the mood.
I got up from my seat
" I'm leaving," I said to them.
" Without touching your lunch? " Joss furrowed his eyebrows.
I take a look at Joss and the lunch that I didn't touch at all.
Now I'm not interested in anything.
" I'm full bye - bye "
After saying that I immediately walked out but Joss chased me from behind stopping my steps.
" You didn't come because you wanted to have lunch with me, right? ".
"..."
" It is because of Wil right? ".
That is why Joss is my best buddy he can read my mind by just looking at my expression but does he think I will easily admit it? Nah, he can wait for another lifetime.
" No " I denied it. I can't lose my cool in front of Joss.
" At first if about Wil I planned to help you since I was wrong then forget it "
" Well .... yes " This is truly a karma
I know he being sarcastic. Joss just got me where he wanted.
" So what's your business looking for him? " Joss smiled evilly at me.
" Well... I just want to be friends with him ".
Joss's smile disappeared and he put on a face that wanted to slap me so badly.
" Oho, dear Khun San your company to my hotel takes almost half an hour and you only come to ask him to be your friend. Are you a dumbass or do you think I'm a dumbass ? ".
" I don't know, since that night I couldn't get rid of his sad sleeping face in my mind ".
I think it will disappear by itself but until now I still can't rid of his face from my brain. I'm so confused.
Then suddenly the words from Joss stunned me.
" That's definitely love at first sight "
No that's impossible, I'm not gay and I'm not into men either. I want to have babies and family in the future.
I visualize in the future if I have a son I will teach him to play soccer but if I have a daughter then I will treat her like a princess.
So one hundred percent I'm sure I didn't fall in love with him.
" No, I'm just curious about him and pity him that's all ".
" I can predict your future, do want to hear? ".
" What ? ".
" Mark my words San Tipputchai one day you'll crying a river because of him and at that time please don't come to me for advice ".
I ignored him because I'm confident with my words.
"Do you have Wil's phone number?"
This the real deal.
My buddy shook his head.
What the!!! So I just wasted time.
I sighed " Then I'll be going ".
" Wait " Joss called me again.
" What more? ".
" I can ask from Saun and send it to you through line ".
" Send it to me tonight ". I ordered and walked away.
I back into my car today I drive myself didn't bring my driver.
Not long after my cellphone rang. It's funny I wish it was from an unknown number but the reality is bitter.
" Hello Aunty Aom "
[ San, can you come to my house later I have something I need to tell you ].
" Krub "
After that I went to Aunty Aom's house I didn't go back to the company.
When I arrived, Aunty Aom was waiting for me with a smile in front.
" Sawadee krub Aunty Aom ".
We greet each other then Aunty Aom went to hug me.
" How is your life? ".
" Everything is fine krub ".
" That's a relief ".
We both walked slowly to a relaxing place.
Then Aunty Aom spoke again
" I heard your mother arranged a blind date for you ".
" Krub "
Lately, my mother always forced me to go on a blind date but I did not attend though not even once.
Suddenly Aunty Aom stopped so I also stopped my steps
" You won't fall in love with someone else right San? ".
"........."
" You have promised me that you will not fall in love with others. What should Jann do even your love does not belong to her anymore " Aunty Aom started crying.
In fact, I never promised anything to Aunty Aom. It's just that day when we both lost Jann. Aunty Aom told me to keep my love for Jann even though she's gone. And I just nodded slightly.
Previously I was so sure that I would never fall in love with someone else because after three years so many people in and out of my life yet my heart had never been attracted to anyone.
But somehow I'm not sure anymore.
I said nothing, just hugged her silently. Like a son hugs his mother.
Aunty Aom is Jann's mother. I am close to her than my own mother.
After Jann has gone we always entertain each other since only we both know how painful it is losing our loved ones.
If I'm free I also always come to visit her.
Aunty Aom treats me like her son. She is really kind to me.
" Aunty Aom you said you had something to tell me ".
Aunty Aom stared at me deeply in the eyes.
" I got the news that Ary was in Italy but don't know which part of the city ".
" Ary? ".
I heard this name a long time ago. I didn't expect that I will hear it again.
Ary is Jann's twin. They separated when their parents' divorce. They were only three years old at that time.
Their parents also agreed that one of them will stay with her mother while the other one stay with her father.
That's why Jann lived with their mother and Ary with their father at abroad.
But they lost contact during the time Ary with her father at abroad.
Aunty Aom never gave up looking for them until now. She strongly believes that they are still alive.
Jann once showed me their childhood picture and Jann with Ary really looks similar in their childhoods but now I don't know
" San, If I really found Ary, can you come with me to Italy to bring her back ? ".
Inside me, there is a fear that cannot be explained
" That... "
" Aunty Aom begs you ". She cut me off.
Since she begged how I could reject her so I agreed instead " Krub ".
Aunty Aom smiles at me.
" San "
" Yes "
" Fall in love with Ary, I'm more willing your love to Jann you give it to Ary than someone else ".
Aunty Aom's words truly shocked me and made me speechless.
She began to change like my mother.
