"Say you love me, too."
- Pretty Boy by M2M

•••

The sun had set. Bright and Win arrived in the same restaurant where they had had dinner yesterday. When they got off the golf car, Bright's eyes was sparkled. He thought the live music was a joke but it turned out the restaurant seriously had a set up for it.

"You have fun just by looking at the stage," Win commented. "Do you want to go up there?"

Bright shook his head. He had something on his mind to do since they would be in double date this night.

"Good evening all!"

The greeting came from Cath, the woman from yesterday. This time, she was not alone. A younger woman was walking behind her.

"I thought you would not come." Cath gave them a big smile.

Bright and Win stared at each other. They remembered, earlier in the villa, they almost decided not to come because both were sulky everytime they talked about it and then, they gave in. They would keep their promise to others. So, here they were.

"Are we late?" Win asked.

"Not at all. You are early," Cath replied. "Anyway, she is my sister, Mala."

Win nodded. He extended his arm to push Bright forward. "This is Bright."

Bright wai at Cath and the sister. He looked away shortly after that.

Win could not let Bright making the situation between them awkward. He blurted out something again. "Where should we sit? Let's find a table for us."

The group of four found a table for them at the center of the restaurant. Bright and Win sat side by side facing Cath and Mala. At the time they were on their seat, all of them were busy with their very own thing.

Cath suddenly got a call from someone on her phone. Bright was sending LINE message to his manager. Mala was staring at Bright, she might forgot to blink.

How about Win? He looked around to look for a mini bar. He glanced at Mala once in a while to check if she was still amazed with the person sitting in front of her until Mala finally realized that she got caught. Win only smiled at her and turned to Cath when the woman came back to her seat after being on phone for a moment.

"Is that the bar?" Win asked. "I want to order alcohol."

"Right," Cath answered. "Do you want to go there"

"Umm," Win admitted. "I'll go there, then."

"I'll go with you."

Since Bright was still busy with his phone, Win got up from his seat without bothering Bright. But then, Bright threw a question without turning his head from the phone.

"Where are you going?"

"The bar,"Win said. "Do you want me to bring you something?"

"The usual."

"Okay."

As Win and Cath were walking to the bar, Cath asked what Bright said just now. Win translated it to her because Bright talked in Thai.

Bright, whose eyes were fixed at the phone screen, finally lifted his head up and found Mala was looking at him. He knew from the start but he decided to ignore her because he felt that he must be clear about what he felt.

Mala who was caught red-handed, was panic. Her eyes moving around, did not know where to look.

"You are Mala, right?"
