That was the first time M.L. Sippakorn: I had a sleepless night.
I had had sleepless nights before, but it was because of my resentment towards my grandmother. I kept thinking about what I would do when I graduated, which could cause my grandmother tremendous pain. But that was 5 or 6 years ago. This was the first time in recent years that I got out of bed with dark circles around my eyes.
It was 4 in the morning and I still hadn't slept. At 6 in the morning my eyes were still wide open. So in the end I visited my little Sam at his workplace for the first time. I sat in his office, irritated. Oh... I also brought something that I cooked while my mind was racing to give it to my sister.
-You've never been to my office. And you bring me food. You scare me...
-Scared of what? I glanced at my sister, confused, as my little sister rubbed her arms.
Will I die?
Was my sister making fun of me? But she seemed so serious. That's why I was confused. So instead of laughing at the joke, I was even angrier.
The truth is that I was angry since the day before.
-That's not fun.
-Now I really think this is scary. You're frowning. When you feel depressed, you usually try to mask it by smiling or laughing. But you frown like you can't control your facial muscles
My little sister knew my mask well. So she was analyzing my mood like a professional. I looked into Sam's beautiful eyes and asked the most ridiculous question I had ever asked.
Believe...
-What is the age difference between you and Mon?
-Is this the reason you come to see me with this frown?
-Answer my question.
The little girl calmed down when she saw that he wasn't joking with her at all. Of course I would not do it. This was not the time to have a good time.
-8.
-Aren't you afraid that people will look at you strangely?
-I look much younger than my age.
I squinted at my sister as she confidently said that and I couldn't help but laugh. The little girl looked at me surprised that I was laughing for no reason.
-You're laughing? I didn't even tell you another joke.
-You are naturally pretty.
-Why did you suddenly ask me that? You never cared before.
-Well... -I squirmed uncomfortably. Sometimes I envied Sam for having such mouthy friends. (That's what our grandmother called Sam's friends.) They could talk about everything. Although I only have one best friend who confessed her love to me and I suggested that she take some medication to get rid of her baby before the naughty A-Nueng was born...
This must be some kind of karma from my past life.
-Good that? You paused for so long.
-There is someone very young clinging to me.
-Oh... How young is he?
-Very young.
-25?
-No.
-22?
-No.
-20.
-No.
-How young is young?
-18.
-You must be very careful. Kids these days can't be trusted. Maybe he's trying to manipulate you into falling in love with him, and then he'll abandon you. Or maybe he knows you're an M.L. rich, so she wants money from you. Men are scary. Except our father....
