[37. Deal]
Dae found himself staring at Aroon's palm, sitting in the passenger seat of his car with the latter sitting beside him, driving back home. His white bandage had disappeared. In it's place Dae could see a wound mark which had not fully healed yet."What are you staring at ?", Aroon asked."That wound on your hand. Does it hurt ?", Dae asked and Aroon glared at him. They continued the ride in silence until Aroon broke it." Open that drawer and take the box inside it.", Aroon said looking straight at the road in front. Dae opened the gl
[38. Lies]Aroon stormed into his room, slamming the door shut. He sat on his bed, frustrated. The words which escaped Dae's mouth moments ago, echoed inside his head. Hewas shocked at how Dae talked back to him without even stammering. He understood Dae is not that scared boy anymore, who would obey everything he says, who was even afraid to look at his face and utter a word. Today, the sam
[39. Powder]Aroon was glad that his Dad believed the lies they told, without having any suspicions. And he was now really excited about the party. But the thought of Dae being in the party annoyed him. He can't simply stand and watch his Dad introducing Dae as his ‘Son’ to everyone. He should do something to prevent Dae from attending the party. If it was a week before, he could have simply done it by threatening Dae and making him tell Dad, he is not well. But now that's not the condition. Dae is not gonna obey him. Moreover he is going to threaten him back, if he tries to threaten him. Aroon was more than surprised with how the younger
[40. Party]Dae POVWe arrived at the resort within an hour. Aru was looking furious all the while we were inside the car. But now he looks excited all of a sudden. Anyway he is looking so handsome today. Dad had told us that the party, food and dance floor were arranged on the 5th floor where we had a big hall. We entered the lift and soon reached the fifth floor. The whole 5th floor was arranged for the party. We entered the big hall and holy smoke ! the hall was amazing with amazing pop songs and food was being arranged by the catering servicemen who looked identical in their uniform and black bow tie. There were tables for people around the room
[41. Never have I ever.]Soon they were in front of a room and Prin twisted open the door. The room was dim lit. There sat all the teenage guys and girls. There were about 15 people. Rose was also present but Aroon was not there. The room was spacious and empty almost like a hall and all of them were sitting in a big round. Two beer bottles were placed in the middle and everyone had a small empty vine glass in their hands"Prin..we were waiting for you. Where were you and Is he going to play this game?", a guy asked."Mm..yeah", Prin said and closed the door."P'Prin..what game is this. Should we drink alcohol ? I don't
[42. Diary]After they returned from the party, Aroon lied on his bed thinking. He still had that heavy weight in his chest. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't stop thinking of Dae, his miserable looks when he said ' shall I jump down from here.', his teary eyes and his tear stained red cheeks. Aroon went deep in his thoughts. He thought how much he has tortured Dae all these years. There was never a day after Dae's mother's death, that passed without he making the younger cry.Once he loved Dae more than anything. He loved it when each time Dae called him Aru or Pee chaai. But now there is no other word which he hates more than those words wh
[43. Catch you later]
[44. New Pair of Sneakers]Aroon stopped near the basketball court as he saw something interesting happening inside. He saw Chau crouched down on his knees tying Dae's shoe lace. Dae's hands were on Chau's back. Aroon's blood boiled inside his veins. ' what the fuck is he doing? Don't he have hands to do it himself? How disgusting!' Chau bend up and gently patted on Dae's shoulder and they continued playing. Aroon walked away in anger. Aroon was actually heading to the library to collect some reference texts for an important assignment. He skipped the football practice and decided to work on the assignment since he was fully confident in
[45. Let’s date]As usual, Chau came smiling towards Dae, as he walked into the basketball court. But today there was one difference. Chau had a box in his hands."Dae..this is for you.", Chau said."Me..?, what is it P'Chau ?", Dae asked."Open it and see it yourself."Dae took the box from his hands and opened it to see a pair of new sneakers. Dae was surprised but not as happy as yesterday when Aroon bought him the shoes."Oh..P'Chau, you bought it for me?", Dae asked."Yes. Did you like it?", Chau smiled."Yeah..but..,why did you buy it ? You didn't have to. It looks very costly.""H
