Destiny 》

chapter 5

Arthit parked his car across the street as he made his way inside the cafe, which seemed to be full of people today

Walking inside, his eyes immediately landed on the familiar and expected honey skinned figure, Kongpob, but something was different, he was here with someone today, a woman to be specific

Arthit's eyebrows furrowed unintentionally, he should be happy, Kongpob wouldn't be disturbing him today, but he felt uneasy instead

Quietly walking towards a table at the corner, arthit took a seat, expecting for kongpob to immediately spot him and come up to him, but nothing such happened

Arthit glanced at Kongpob through the corner of his eyes every now and then, and all he saw was the other one having a good, pleasing talk with the woman in front of him

Arthit's frown visibly darkened, as he diverted his attention on his laptop screen and his pink milk, trying his best not to look back at kongpob, every minute or two

Why was he affected? He didn't know, but he surely knew he was, was it because, its after two years that someone has approached arthit, and that he has a third contact in his personal phone other than his parents?

Kongpob was sitting in the cafe, with his close friend who was also, his best friend aim's wife, may

Aim and may were going out for a trip of three days, but aim being aim, had last minute problems, he was still in his office completing some important files while he asked may to wait at the cafe with kongpob, knowing she had already left for the station

"Aim is never going to change, is he?" Kongpob chuckled

"Never, I assure you, he is now going to give me a call asking me to come back home, because apparently he would have forgotten something back in his work room" may stated, rolling her eyes as she let out a small laugh

Kongpob chuckled at how well she knew him, and once may had stated this, Kongpob was very much sure of the call to actually come, with aim saying the exact same words

Both of them were soon indulged in other conversations, when kongpob spotted arthit taking a seat at the table placed at the corner

He felt as though, if he didn't control, his feet would walk him towards arthit by their self, not wanting to interrupt may, he decided to stay seated and act as if he didn't notice the other

Kongpob was pretty sure arthit would be happy by it anyways, arthit obviously didn't like his presence and sometimes he wondered if arthit actually didn't yet consider him as someone he knew, or maybe he was still a stranger for him, a rather annoying one

With those thoughts in his mind, kongpob continued talking to may without glancing at arthit again, though he felt him doing the exact opposite

Seems like someone needs attention Kongpob thought internally smirking

When suddenly May's phone rung as she accepted the call, putting it on speaker

"May?" Aim called

"Yeah?" May asked

"I guess you would have to come back home, I somehow forgot my power bank in my work room" aim replied

"Coming" may replied, suppressing her laugh

Once aim hung up, both Kongpob and may burst into fits of laughter

"Told you" may said

"You know him like the back of your hand" kongpob replied, still chuckling
