His friends have already been long gone
He went to their college canteen hoping he will meet Phayu there.
He ordered his food and with less appetite, he ate his food.
Slowly consumed his usual 15 minutes meal.
He is done.
Still no Phayu.
Even his seniors dint show their faces today.
Usually one or two come for lunch.
But none Phayu's classmate or block mate he saw.
He gets back in his car.
Engine failed.
Whom to call?
Dad!
Busy.
He left a message.
He remembered he need to revise his blueprint.
What model can he use?
He closed his eyes and ask his hearts peace.
Nothing.
Sky sit in front of him.
"Sorry na we whee in the library. I failed my essay. You passed it." Sky said.
Rain tried to smile.
"I wanna get out of here." Rain said.
"Whee you wanna go?" Sky asked.
Then Rain closed his eyes again and begin exploring his imaginations.
"I wanna go yo a beach." He said.
Then begin drawing.
Sky moved to the either table.
Rain then focuses on a test house.
A bungalow glass walls and high ceilings
With nipa hut gezebo on the side.
A wide loan great for any use. With foldable canopy. That can cover the whole place when Raining.
Flowering plants around the loan.pots of indoor in the gazebo and some also in the open terrace of the bunggalow.
The secret of the high ceiling is the hidden loft. Two bedrooms.
All sides.
Now the blue print.
He paused for a while.
Check his phone.
"I'll be late but I'll come." Dad said.
Time passed and Rain does his best not fail again this time.
He make sure that mthe sizes of the furnitures are prcized to the rooms sizes.
Rain is good at details and pour his heart on it.
"Rain it's dark outside." Sky said.
"Nong well send you home I brought my car" Prapai said.
Being too busy he did not notice his best friend's boyfriend.
"My dad will pick me up na." Rain said.
"Dad?" Prapai asked.
Sky gave him light punch.
"Por" Rain said.
Prapai gave him teasing look.
"Well go then call us if you need anything l." Sky said.
Rain nod his head
"By the way" Prapai said.
He placed food on the chair beside Rain.
His table is not to be messed up.
"Thank you p.'" he said and smile.
The livers then leave him.
He eat before he continued.
After eating.
Again focus.
Time clicks and passes by.
Lights in the university begin closing.
The College department becomes empty.
"Nong it's 11:45 na. 15 minutes and we will close " the Librarian custudian said.
"Thanks na p'." Rain said.
He gathered his things and he placed his work in his rented locker in the library. It's the safest for their works and things for the librarian custudian only have the keys .
He said he will come early to get it
It's near 12 his father did not come yet.
He stood in front of his car. Leaning his body on his bumper
A tow truck came.
"Nong Rain." P' Aoun.
"Your Por called na" he said.
Rain nod his head.
"Wait we can't take you with us." P' Aoun said.
"It's okay na p'. " He said and handed the key to his car.
"Rain" p' Aoun called.
"Don't worry na p' I can find taxi in the gate and my friends dorm is near here I might drop there." Rain said.
P' Aoun then at peace.
Rain watched his car carefully lifted on tow..
Watch the tow truck move away to the College exit.
Rain picked his phone.
Now empty.
He started to walk
Reached the university exit. Sad to say. Have to walk more where he can find a ride.
But the sky is nit frieny tonight.
The wind started to get a bit cold. And the Rain pours.
Someone grabbed his shoulder.
"What do you want?" Rain asked.
"Give me your bag." The guys said.
Rain is so pissed right now.
He didn't find Phayu.
He needs to revise his blue print.
His car jammed.
He walks to far.
And now someone wanna get something from him.
He turned his body and kicked the guy.
He gave ahard Puch and another kick, not giving the other party to have a change.
Another kick and the guy fell on the ground.
"Don't mess with a bad day." He said.
A light of the car. Lighted them.
The car stopped near them.
The Rain still pours.
"What happened son" Rain spor asked.
"This scumbag wants my bag" Rain said.
"Let's report him yo the police." Por said.
"Por I'm tired." Rain said.
Rain and Por get inside the car.
Por texted authority about the incident.
Rain is silent.
"I'm sorry I'm late " Por said.
"Not your fault na. You came At the right time." Rain said.
"I bought some burgers" Por said and handed him a big bag of food.
Rain smiled and eat.
He saw his knuckles
Not his blood
He just raised his shoulders and enjoy his double cheese burgers.
When he consumed the burger he eats some fries.
"You want more?" Por asked.
"I'm okay na thank you. Sky bought me dinner." He said.
Por nodded his head.
Rain run to his room when they reached home.
Took a hot bath.
He dried himself after and climbed on his bed.
The next day.
He is not good.
"Rain stay at home na." Mae said worried.
"I have to give it before cut off." Rain said.
"I'll send him Ma'am" the house staff said.
Mae then let him.
Rain is like having a bodyguard walking in corridor of the college.
He finished first before he gave it to his professor.
The professor smiled.
"Check your email na. But you passed." She said.
Rain smiled happily and waiid.
"Rain go home and have some rest na you look worn out." The professor said worried.
"Khab" Rain said and waiid.
He walked out of the door. And his house staff waits.
His house staff carries everything.
"Rain" Sky said.
"Shiya! You're sick" he exclaimed.
"I'm taking him home na" the house staff said.
"P' that is supposed to be my job na." Phayu said.
He walks closer to them.
Rain looks on the ground.
"Khun Rain" the house staff said.
"I'll tell your Mae Nong Phayu will take you home na." He said.
Rain nod his head.
Silence inside the car.
Rain's hair still all braided.
They reached the garage.
Rain saw his car.
P' Saifah inspects it.
Phayu guided him to walk to the house guided him to Phayu's room.
Rain went to bed silently.
Phayu laid beside him and hugged him.
"Did you take any medicine yet?" Phayu asked.
Rain nod his head.
"It's cold." Rain whispered.
Phayu hugged him.
Rain moved as if he can get any closer.
"I'm sorry I was jealous yesterday" Phayu whispered.
Rain smiled.
"Jealous of?" Rain asked.
"The one that braided your hair." Phayu said.
Rain twist his whole to side and faced Phayu.
"I don't like her" he said.
He leaned his head on Phayu's neck.
Closed his eyes.
"I only love you p' Phayu I'm yours only" he whispered and went to sleep.
