Chapter 23


“Klua , how are you?”

I, who was sitting there watching TV, turned to the voice and widened my eyes when I saw that it was Dream, Fang and Panjai who came.

“Dream.”

I called out to the person who walked straight towards me and gently pinched my cheek. And see that my mother, who came out to greet the three had already walked into the kitchen.

Today is Saturday, no wonder they came together. And I’m getting better. Almost every day they came to see me. Until my mom said that maybe I don’t need her anymore, so many people take care of me.

Mom teased for days.

“How are you, Klua?”

“Oh I’m fine, I’m much better now,” I answered honestly. I feel hurt and exhausted from cough at first but now it’s much better. I can walk around. “Thanks’ for coming” I told them.

“Yeah, you take a long break.”

“I’m back to school on Monday.”

“Oh, great. I’m so lonely without you Klua, I have no chubby cheek to pinch.” Dream said while he start to pinching and rubbing my cheeks like he usually do. Seems like I only can move from him with help from others.

“Oh “

“Stop Playing Klua,” (maybe Panjai mean to not pinching Klua’s cheeks) Panjai said, while still looking at me and Dream. It make the person who was holding my cheeks make a pouting face but finally Dream stop holding my cheeks.

“Yeah, you shouldn’t be playing by now,”

“This is for you Klua, it makes you better soon, the potion is awesome (fruits). Fang who came handed me the fruits. Theres many kind of fruits I see before I take it.

“Thank You very Much, na.”

“Eat a lot, good fruit make body feel good,”

“Hhmm,” I nodded.

After that Panjai took the fruits from me and go to the kitchen, no wonder of what he doing, lately seems like he was the part of this house too. (Panjai come every day. *so sweet)

“Here Klua,” Dream was sitting next to me watch Panjai and start poking and teasing me.

“Huh.”


“That boy come every day,” Dream ask teasingly.
“Yeah, Panjai came every day.” I said.

“Ohh .. Ohh..” Dream nodded and smile. With fang sit next to him and both of them start laughing teasingly. “I told you, he’s not in his room lately.” “Even after school Panjai was always gone. His seniors always looking for him.”

“Hah.. ?!?!”

“You really don’t get it. Aww.. this fat piggy is so annoying.” Dream pinching my cheeks, I let him do what he wants with my cheeks before I rub my cheeks. He was try so hard to come here.

I try not to smiling too wide, I was too happy cause I never had a guest for myself, my friends never come to my house before. No matter how many friend that I have they never care about me. When I meet Fang, Dream and Panjai, it makes me so happy to have them as friend.

At first, I was sitting while Dream still playing with my cheeks, I was looking at Panjai while he came from the kitchen, make the person next to me stop playing with my cheeks and look at me. Panjai came with a plate of apple slices and put on the table, and make Dream shocked.

“Oh, Second son of the family??” Dream teasing Panjai with mocking eyes. The one who serve the apples can’t say anything, just raising his eyebrow to teased and go back to the kitchen.

“Ahh,, heiii you dammit, what’s wrong with your eyes looking like that, the other raising their shoulder the other one was raising his eyebrows!!” shout Dream (*Dream was so curious with Panjai an Klua)

“ uhh,, Dream …” I said.

“hey, my love, don’t be bold. His boy was sitting here.” Said Fang.

Fang, who saw Dream Frowned was sat beside him. He was hitting his boy, while I just can sit still and laugh at them both. And oh my gosh the Actually I was dancing with raising eyebrows in my heart too. (*Klua was happy).

-no –

I raise my hands to hold my cheek try to erased the weird feeling from my hear before a took the apple in front of me, the apple was sweet and sour make me feel so amazed.

-its so delicious-

“Klua,, come on, u need to get well soon .. I want to go traveling.” Said Dream.

“Huh ,  traveling??”

“uhmm, I want to go. I was planning about go to the sea but then you sick.”

“When??”

“On the day you were sick, " Dream took an apple to eat. It made me look confused. But I didn't ask much, I just knew that if I wasn't sick, we would definitely be traveling.

Ah...going out with a group of friends...

Very happy

"Have you eaten something?"

“No yet~” Dream the first who answered , which made everyone turn their heads to look. Including Mom and Panjai who just came out of the kitchen.

“Then mom will make food for lunch. Want to eat something special? "

" Depends on the sick person. Eat this, pamper the sick. Dream can eat anything." Dream with a big smile before poking my cheek.

Which I was thrown into the task of picking lunch, but I thought hard, Because I don't know what to eat now for me

Ah... I can't think of anything...

"Eat porridge" suddenly Panjai said. Causing everyone to turn to look at him,

"Eat something else, wait a minute" I said
I remember when Panjai was sick, I also bring him some porridge. This memories make me laughed in my mind. Seems like Panjai was remembering that time too..

“ But my cough is gone. "

"You get better now but then cough again," he said. 

I didn't think to eat porridge at first. Because my mom was making porridge too, for me to eat. Boiled food to eat since I was sick till now, ughh..  I was bored with bland food.

"I want to eat Crispy Pork with Basil"

"You can wait till Monday to eat that" said Panjai before walking to sit beside me, I was looking to him with sad face , And hoping he'll let this dish be eaten, "Be patient, your cough was not full recovery "

He furrowed his brows. I finally gave up. Then hand over the task of thinking about lunch to mom. What my mother wanted to make was boiled food and fresh omelette. I agreed.  Its okay, least I can an omelette. The other dish is boiled food kind of stew and it becomes sukiyaki. Make Dream and Fang then offer to help mom in the kitchen.

I want to eat a little Crispy Pork with Basil, ah...

"If the cough was totally gone, u can eat Crispy Pork with Basil," Panjai whispered softly into my ear. Makes me turn to look at him and nod.

“I’ll wait till I fully recover." I said

“Hhmm “. He gently stroked my head, and took the apple to eat and not forget to give the apple to me too.

So, I have to eat again, even though I've eaten a lot. And the closeness of us just sitting close like this makes me feel better. And thinking about what happened before where he took care of me when I was sick I realized that I like to be the part of him, and what I want the most is to be near Panjai always and I like him so much.

Not like as a friend but like on the other side. (* kawaiii)

I raised my hand to hold my cheek, as I thought about what I had been thinking for few days. And became confident While looking at the person beside me, who was his eyes were on the TV And when he knew I was looking at him, he turned around with a doubtful expression

“Is there something wrong? "

"No," I shook my head.

Panjai lowering his head While eating the apples in his hands “This…”

"Hmm..." I turned to see the person who made a soft voice next to me, and Panjai who also turned to look at me.

"Did you know that Dream and Fang made an appointment to go to the sea?"

"...I know when I'm sick."

"It should be next Saturday. Will you get better soon?"

"Will! I must be full recover" I quickly replied, "Sure, I want to go on a trip too."

"Don't worry. If you not recover on time, change the day." He said without thinking too much, "or if the two of them will go first. I can go with Klua"

He was not thinking much and ask me to do so. Because whatever the choice. I also have Panjai. Even if I don't get well in time He waits with me...

--Damn, why does it have to feel this good?--

" Thank you "

" Never mind. "

"Thank you for everything. Thank you for your concern. Thank you for coming to the hospital. Thank you for take care of me And thank you for always visiting."

" ... "

"I'm very happy," I said to Panjai. Because  Panjai is here. And when I think about it. Not only now,  It includes all  the past events too.

“Are you happy that a friend came to you Or you happy because that the friend who came to you was me?” The person next to me asked, putting on a suspicious face.

"I'm happy to have friends to come to me and have Dream, Fang and Panjai too"

“Ah-huh.” The person beside me narrowed his eyes. Didn't seem too happy with my answer.

"Ah...and for myself alone, I'm really happy, really really happy," I said hastily with a big smile.

" Is it true? "

"Actually, more than happy. It's more like special..." I thought while thinking Which of the faces of the people who sounded annoyed at first started to improve.

" How? "

The person in front of me brought his face closer to mine. There was a small smile at the corner of his mouth, and it looked happy, happy, and something more

Arrghhh … but his face was too close...
Now my heart beating so fast with a face looking at me in a short distance, I only can bow my head. I can hear the light laughter of the person next to me

He's really teasing me...

"We're done. I’m coming with rice~!" that voice from Dream make me surprised. The person who came out from the kitchen looked at me with suspicious eyes. I realized that Dream must have seen what happened with me an Panjai. I just can bow my head to avoid the gaze from the person next to me.

I want to run!

The person besides me, he stood and lend a hand to help me up. I can see his hand but I feel the heat burning in me. (*blushing) and I agreed to hold Panjai hand and push myself to get up. Even though my pain going to get better, but the person was taking care of me hasn't changed at all. (kawaiii ^_^)

"So Panjai was one step ahead,” he said quietly as he stopped at the question of what 'special is' as I could only sigh softly. Before the two of us walked to the dining table that have been prepared.

Ah...and I have to find out the answer too. Just in case he asked next time. I will answer confidently.

That he was 'very special'.

***

“Oh boy, my fat piggy, finally you back to school”

Dream is happy and hugs me, making me smile. Today I went back to school. After the symptoms continue to improve. Even when walking for a long time, will make me feel more tired than usual, but it feels better than before
I finally recovered...

And pray that the illness don't come back to me too often

"Dream is not good at all. How can you hug a man?" I pretended with the person who was hugging me quickly turned to look at me and he start to look at me like what I said was so ridiculous

Oh, I really am a man!

“Well, okay okay. I don't argue with it. I won't do it again," said Dream carelessly. Before start to hugged me again. I was indifferent to being a boy and was hugged by the girl in front of me.

I have to be happy.

"Dream did you just eat or not?" I asked as I was now released before I sat down and looked at the person on the side. I'm looking down on the phone.

"No, I'm not hungry yet."

“Would you like some bread? "

“You can eat it, but wait, you have to eat rice Klua so you can take the medicine.”

"I ate it today, Mom made a meal"

"Good, don't be stubborn, so you can recover in time to go to the sea"

“yeah,  I want to go”
Dream, who was satisfied with my answer, turned around and pulled one of my cheek. Before turning his attention to the phone.  And then I got hit by the person next to me (Dream), I still ignoring him and picking up the phone and looking at social media I haven't followed in a long time. Where is my Facebook has few friends Most of them are not very interesting. There are only Dream and Fang posts, one after another, there are Phi Phet posts who have finished doing work too. Makes me happy for him, so I like his pictures to congratulate him. Before doubting whether I should do this from a long time ago.

Ahh.. give me some time a litte …

I click at the search box and the history of my searching was just one, just one an existing name made me press and see that the Facebook owner changed a new profile photo since last week. It was a picture that taken by somebody. Which looks good, And the number of likes and shares is a lot too. Before I scroll down to see the timeline. I didn't see him post anything. Only change profile picture And other people's posts Incoming posts only on timeline page

But there was no response.

Ah… I guess he is not online or did he doesn’t use this social media…

"What..." The whisper in my ear startled me. Before immediately turning the phone to the table And when I turned my head, I saw the face of the person who came to say hello a little further from my shoulder. So it made me realize that he should have seen what I was secretly seeing

“Pa... Panjai..."

" What? "

“I… I didn't do anything.” I thought that even though he'd seen the evidence, it's a good thing the other party screwed up. He just nodded and smiled. Before walking to leave, sit across from me. Dream that at first sat together, he came out without saying anything. I'll calling out him, but looks like I won't be able to catch him up. So that’s,  now just me and Panjai at the table together

Yeah...just the two of us

“Have you eaten?” I, at first, excited for no reason, raised my head to look at the person who broke the silence.

"yes I have, mom made it early. Have you eaten?"

" Not yet "

" Uh... do you have bread?" I asked him. Made him look at me and shake his head lightly. Looks like my bread won't be enough today.

"Actually, I have a box of milk."

"Save it to eat," he said, he crossing his leg and put his chin on  his hand then looking at me. Made myself start to act ridiculously. Because apart from the food that I couldn't give him, I didn't even know what to bring for him who hadn't eaten.

“Then go buy some rice to eat?”

"Not hungry yet," he answered nonchalantly. Where Panjai's eyes have not turned to other direction just still looking at my face. Make me really don't know what to do. Because he never do openly like this and didn't take his eyes off me.

"Hhmm... is that something with my face?"

" Nothing. "

" Ah ..." listening to his answer, i bow my head and raised my hand to touch my body. (*Klua overact,  he’s so shy.. kawaiiii ) Even if the other party says there's nothing wrong with my face but I’m not sure.

"Klua"

"Huh... Hm..."

“Raise your head a little," I raised my head like what he ask. Seeing that he was still in the same chin-toe position With eyes still looking at me, not looking away.

"Let's stay like this for a bit..."

" ... "

"I want to remember it " (kawaiii kawaiii kawaiii)
