SOTUS: Hand over heart

Chapter twenty one

" P' Arthit.. what are you going to do now? "

" I don't know what will happen in the future Kongpob. Only time can tell "

Kongpob leaned in and stopped for a second looking at Arthit for permission.

Arthit smiled sadly and closed the distance. It was a short, but bittersweet kiss.

" good bye Kongpob.. "

*

It had been two months since Kongpob had walked into Arthit's apartment drunk. They never spoke to each other after that incident.He missed Arthit every breathing second. But he was not feeling suffocated anymore. He knew wherever he was Arthit loved and missed him just as much as he did. It comforted him. In his mind he spoke to Arthit. He didn't care if it made him crazy. No one can pry his comfort away from him.

He was back to his normal ways. He was in fourth year. And it kept him fairly busy. He treated Pen with all the kindness he had. In his agony Pen had been a victim. He wasn't going to let that happen again.

He was walking Chanpen to the girls hostel. Once they reached the gate, Kongpob bid his good bye when Pen pulled him by his elbow and kissed him on the cheek.

Kongpob looked at her in surprise. She was smiling shyly.

" Chanpen! What made you think it was ok? "

" P' Kongpob. I kissed my boyfriend. What is wrong with that! "

" N' Pen. I told you! Our relationship can never be like that! "

" P'.. I thought you have started to like me! "

" I was just doing my duty "

Pen looked at him angrily

" P' Kongpob! Why are you still thinking about him? It's not like your relationship was progressing!!You were not happy with him! I can give you everything he didn't! I can make you happy P'! We can be happy together! " she said with a raised voice. Her face red in rage.

" what did you just say? "

" I can make you happy P' Kongpob "

" before that N' Pen "

Chanpen looked at him. Her expression changed from anger to fear.

" P' Kongpob.. I... "

Kongpob took a few steps closer to her. And looked directly into her eyes.

" N' Pen.. you have not seen my worst yet. And assure you, you don't want to. Tell me the truth. dont test my patience " Kongpob's tone was too calm. He was burning inside. His fists balled on his sides.

Chanpen had told him everything that had happened. Most importantly what hadn't happened.

Kongpob was speechless.

" Pen! You called me a rapist! "

" I'm sorry P' Kongpob.. I made a mistake.. I was wrong.." she had her hands together. Tears pouring down her face.

" I will never forgive you for this! You didn't just ruin my life, you also ruined the life of the person I love "

"P' Kongpob.. please.."

" get out of my sight Chanpen. You watched me suffer and never once thought of telling me the truth."

" I wanted to P' .. I was afraid "

" you know I can get you suspended for this don't you? All it will take is one visit to the hospital "

" P' Kongpob.. please! My father will die! "
