OhmFluke A Day

23 March 2021

He looked around. The surroundings were beautiful, he admits. Though he hated it that he had to be there. He wanna run away, but he knows that he can't betray his best friend. Not after what they had promised to each other.

'I wish I never had made that promise. Damn!'

"Fluke~" He turned around to face the bride. His best friend. Ploy. He smiles a little.

"You're here." Ploy said smiling, walking towards the other clad in her wedding dress.

"I don't want to but I have to." Fluke replied, a little too honest. Ploy frown.

"You could've lied, you know. This is my wedding day and you're making me sad." She said, voice trembling a little. She's really sad. She thought they had talked about this and Fluke had agreed. Fluke let out a small sigh before hugging his friend.

"But it's you Ploy. I'll come in everything that is related to you." He said. Ploy smiled, hugging him back.

"Thank you Fluke!"

And when Ploy was called to the room for her final check, Fluke was left alone. Again, a sigh slipped out of his mouth. Taking a seat on one of the benches, he closed his eyes.

"I'll do anything for you! Promise!"

Damn that promise!

"Alone?" Fluke titled his head to look for the person that he believed talking to him. He finds a very good looking man and finds himself nodding his head. The man let out a small smile before taking a seat next to him.

"So, what's your relationship with the bride? Or groom?" The man asks, taking a gulp of the champagne that was already there.

"The bride. She's my best friend." He answered. Taking a sip of his strawberry milk. Ploy was kind enough to serve strawberry milk for him because she knows that Fluke doesn't drink alcohol. "How about you?" He asked.

"Phat's my best friend." Fluke's eyes widen. Why didn't he know this? This man is the best-friend-stealer-man's friend?

"Well, aren't you surprised?" The man said chuckling. Fluke looked at the man. He really looks good smiling.

"I'm sorry, I just don't know Phat has a friend like you." He said.

"Hmm... What kind of friend do you think he has?" Fluke looked at the man, yet again.

"You know, those snarky, evil, best friend stealer kinds of friend." He said truthfully. The man smiles.

"Do I look like one?" He asks and Fluke shakes his head. "Ohm. Ohm Thitiwat." The man said, extending his hand which Fluke accepted.

"Fluke Natouch." He replied.

"And now I announce you, man and wife." They heard the priest say, both their heads look at the direction of their best friends. Officially attached.

"My Ploy..." Fluke whispered to himself but Ohm who heard it smiles.

It's Sunday. Exactly two months after Ploy and Phat got married.

"This'll be a lot better if Ploy's here." Fluke says to himself as he munches on his bread. It's still early in the morning and he doesn't have anything to do. He's supposed to get used to being alone now since Ploy has moved out but he just can't accept the fact that Ploy's a married woman.

"Damn you Phat!"

— — — -

And so, after a lot of pondering, walking around the house, 3 times bath and 2 times breakfast plus an hour and a half of television, he decided to just walk around the town. He hadn't really checked out the real Canada since he'd arrived with Ploy. They were busy studying and whenever he wanted to walk around, Ploy would deny his request to spend more time for Phat.

'Doesn't she know that she spent too much time with him rather than me? Her best friend?'

His first destination is the Pacific Rim National Park. He got to admit, he missed Bangkok since the park here and there is a lot of difference. But still, he enjoyed his time here. He went to the Niagara Falls, the place he always wanted to go.

He was walking around Niagara Falls when he accidently bumped into someone. Dropping his sandwich.

"I'm sorry!" He exclaimed with his ever-perfect English, bowing.

"It's okay." The other person replied. Fluke was stunned. Did he just hear Thai? He looked up and was surprised to see a familiar man.

"Do I know you?" He asks in Thai since he knows the man's from Thailand. The man smiled.

"My... My Khun Fluke, you're older than what I see." The man said, Fluke frowns.

"Hey! What does that mean?"

"I'm Ohm." He spoke. Fluke look at him. Still, trying to remember this man. He knows he has seen this man. His name rings a bell in his head but he just doesn't know where.

"Phat's best friend. Their wedding." Ohm said smiling. He's not offended. He rather find's Fluke adorable with that confused face. But then the other smiled widely, showing his gums.

"Ah! Now I remember! That best friend stealer friend!" He exclaimed a little bit too loud, earning looks from passenger by. He quickly bowed his head to the people while mumbling words of sorry.

"I think we should go and find somewhere to talk, don't you?" Ohm said grabbing Fluke's arm then started walking to some place that only he knows. Fluke was alarmed but he didn't take his hand away for some reason he doesn't know why.

All that he knows is that he can trust Ohm and he knows Ohm's nothing like Phat, the kidnapper!

"You still hate my best friend?" Ohm asks. They're sitting in one of the restaurants nearby, facing each other.

"Yeah." Fluke answers. Just then the waiter came. Ohm ordered some Mocha while Fluke ordered Strawberry milk.

"Why?" He dared to ask. Though he perfectly knows why.

"Just because." Fluke shrugged. Looking outside the window. From Ohm's view, he can perfectly see Fluke's perfect feature. Phat was right, he's beautiful. Much more beautiful than the girls he dated before.

"Where do you live?" Ohm said. Fluke looked at him.

"I don't think I want strangers to know that." He answered.

"Well, we're not really strangers. You know me and I know you." Then their orders arrived.

"I just don't feel like telling you." Fluke said. He isn't really that trustworthy to people he barely knows though there's a voice inside him saying that Ohm won't do anything.

"I'll find out soon." Was the answer. Fluke looked at Ohm then sipped his strawberry milk.

And the rest was history.
