Tales of Tales

Phayu /Rain

"I do. I believe you Rain. I know you can. You just need to focus " I said.

He looked back at his work and continued.
I know he expects me to do the whole thing for him.

I wrote down notes making it easy for him.
"I can help Rain. But I want you also to learn. I don't want you cheating.
If I finish this, you might have earned points. But you'll gain nothing personally.
You might pass but that doesn't make you wiser." I said.

He stopped working and looked at me.
"But will you help me understand some things I can't?" He asked.

I smiled.
And nod my head.

He smiled
The smile I wanna see
The smile Som Nan and my other classmates saw

Damn! My heart
His genuine smile. Makes my world stop.

He is back in his work.
But he is more excited

And I am back on helping him.
After he is done with the first he grabbed the notes I made and he started reading
Then work on his papers

This is disaster
He can't do all this in one night. Even I can't.

We are working silently and there is knock on the door before it opened.

I stand and greeted Mae.

"You guys are too busy na " Mae said.holding a tray of snacks.
"Have some na and I want to remind you need some rest also." She said.

"I can't" Rain said.

"We will later na Mae. He just need to finish some of these ." I said.
I took the content of the tray. Place the snack beside Rain and placed the juices on the counter top the space on the other side of his fish tank.

"Phayu thank for helping him na." Mae said.

"Mae, I wanna tell in advance na that Rain might come home late some days from now on. Specially when he has lots of work " I said.

"If it is you he is with. I won't be worried just inform me and Pah about it" she said nicely

I smiled and thanked her again.
She left the room.

While Rain starts chewing while writing.

I let him be. He reached for the juice drink a little then back on his work.

I am sleepy.
That means it's pass twelve already

Rain is sleepy and drowsing.

"Rain enough na." I said

"I can't p." He said and stood and jump for three times. Then get back on his work.

"Rain you can't do all this in one night. I am sure some of the professor will understand why you are late with your work na." I said.

He stubbornly get back on his work.
I get in my phone and check also my own assignments.

I am really sleepy.
But the guy sitting on his study area is now sleeping.

I carried him to his bed.
Placed blanket on him.
Lied beside him.
As the bed you he's my back I fall sleep.

I woke up. My body system wakes up early..
I realized how can I work out?
I had some push ups and stretching.
I need more but that would be enough for the day.

I went down to the kitchen to drink water.
Mae happily greeted me.

"How is Rain doing?" She asked as she cut vegetables for salad

"Still sleeping. He slept on his last work last night." I said

"I pass your room at 2am the lights are still on.*" Mae said.

"Yes Mae he is about to sleep that time." I said.

"Want some coffee Mae asked.

"Yes Mae I can make some" I suggested.

She pointed me the coffee corner

"We have that one. Rain likes coffee, but lazy to use that one." Mae said.

I just smirked at the coffee machine and started making.

"One for me also please" Pah said.

"Sawadee khab Pah". I greeted him as I waiid at him.

He smiled and responded
I made three coffee and one more for Rain.

"He is still sleeping?" Pah asked.

"I got him Pah , Mae." I said. But it is asking for permission.
They both nod.

Then I almost run to Rains room.

"Wake up." I said.
Be did not move.
But his breathing is different.
He is now awake..

Testing my patience ei?
I smirked and tickled him.
He fought back.
We are like little kids rolling on bed
Till we stopped.z
I am hovering over him.
His face is too close to mine.

Rain my brain shouts.
My heart beats fast
I ma blNked.
I want to kiss him.
But too soon.
Then I remember.

"Pah and Mah are waiting for us to have breakfast with them." I groaned.

He didn't say anything.
I moved away and get up.
Reach out my hand to him. He took it I pulled him and we went downstairs.

His parents looks at us.
Mah looked at us from head to foot. And miles widely
While dad looks at Rain like he wants to scold him.
I moved. And realized.,

My goodness

I am still holding Rains hand
