Signal of Heart

Against to destiny

By saritha T.N.Published 4 years ago • 31 min read

I groaned as soon as the alarm went off. I groggily woke up and sat on the bed even without opening my eyes. Basically I am not a morning person but I don't have an option other than to wake up early in the morning because of work. Am working in an architectural firm.

I dragged my feet to the bathroom to get ready for the office. I should be in the office at exactly 8:30am. Luckily, my office is not too far, there is no need to commute by bus or taxi. It's just a 15 min walk from my apartment.

After taking a bath, I got ready with formals. Looking into the mirror, I buttoned up my shirt. I looked at the watch. It's already 7.45am. Am ready to leave the apartment but My heart skipped a beat like everyday. Am nervous, Damn nervous. Even though my office timings are 8:30 and it only takes just 15 min, still I leave the apartment early everyday just because of HIM. By just thinking of him, blush crept in my face. He was the reason why I woke early every morning. I left the apartment after locking the door. I hurried my steps because I didn't want to miss the chance to take a glance at him. Do you want to know who is him?

First let me introduce myself.

Hii, My name is Pran, Pran Siridechawat, 25 years old Single ass working in a famous architectural firm. I live in an apartment alone while my parents are staying in my hometown Chiang Mai. I have a best friend Wai. He has been my best friend since we were kids. We both studied in the same school, same high school, same university and worked in the same firm with me. He is like my personal diary where I store every precious and nonsense issue.

I hurried my steps to the place where I took a glance at him everyday.

Yes, a traffic signal, pedestrian and crossing roads. This signal is just three blocks away from my company. I saw him for the first time three months back while crossing the road. It's like a fairytale in those magical books.

That day miraculously I woke up early. I got ready and walked to the office.

I have to cross this road to reach my office everyday. That I was standing and waiting for the green signal to turn red so I could cross the road. In the meantime, my eyes were wandering my surroundings and my eyes landed on something that captured my heart in seconds, a man. I have seen handsome men in my life but he captivated my heart within seconds with his eyes.

There is a man standing in the opposite lane and waiting to cross a road just like me. He looked absolutely perfect in my eyes. I was literally checking him out in the middle of the road. My eyes are not leaving him even for a second.

Green signal turned into Red. All the vehicles stopped to give space to pedestrians to cross the road.

Everyone started to cross the road on the pedestrian. He was also crossing the road, I mean striding towards me as I was striding towards him. For me, time is running slower than a turtle. My heart almost stopped near me. When he walked past me, a faint alluring smell hit my nose. I think it's his perfume. So alluring just like him. I crossed the road and turned back to look at him. He was just walking in the opposite direction, must be for the office or college on the basis of his clothes. I was just standing there and looking at his direction for more than a minute.

That day Wai had almost a bleeding ear because of my non-stop talking about that boy I saw in the morning. Wai is on the verge of crying to leave him alone hahaha. I can't stop myself talking about him and thinking about him. Next day I woke up early and went to that crossing road at the exact same time out of instinct. As I guessed I saw him again. Now it's become my daily routine to go to that place at exactly the same timings to get a glimpse of him. It's been three months since I've seen him. Even though I didn't know his name Or age or whether he studies or does any job, still just a glimpse of him makes my heart go crazy.

Like every day, today also, Am here to cross the road and my eyes are roaming across the road to search for him. There he is, looking absolutely handsome like he always does.

I turn to look at the signal. It's still in green. Am stomping my feet impatiently. I wanted to see him nearly, even for a second. In these three months, he never looked into my direction. I never attempted to talk with him either. I contended just by looking at him.

Green signal turned into Red. People started to walk across the road. My steps automatically strides towards him. Don't know why my heart is pounding crazily. There is just a meter apart between us. I stopped my breathing when he looked at me and accidentally our eyes met. 'Shit!!!!! He is looking at me. He is looking at me.' Am doing break dance in my mind just for his contact and I stood frozen for what he did. He smiled. He is fucking smiled at me. He is fucking did eye contact with me and gave his smile. 'Oh my god! I can die peacefully' I thought, if I didn't move from the middle of the road, I might have got into accident but a kind hearted person behind me, urged me to cross the road because it's just a few seconds to turn into Green. After crossing the road, I went to the office while doing a mini dance on the road. People might have thought I went crazy. Yes, because of his smile.

Whole day I was in a good mood. Wai is on the verge of throwing hands at me. I annoyed him so much saying that handsome smiled at me.

Next day

It's Friday, the last day of the working week and the weekend is coming. I literally hate weekends. Usually everyone loves weekends but I hate it because I can't see him for two days, Saturday and Sunday. I have to wait two whole days to see him again. I hate it.

Now I am here, waiting to cross the road. My eyes fell on him and a idiotic smile crept on my face. Green signal turned into Red. I started to cross the road as he did. My face fell because today he didn't look at me but a hand touched my hand. When I looked down, I saw that handsome man slipping something into my hands and out of instinct I clutched it in my palm. I can't see what it is in the middle of the road. I hurried my steps. My heart is beating crazily to find out what it is.

I crossed the road and stood on the footpath. It's a paper that he slipped in my hand. I opened it and my eyes widened.

'Meet me in SugarRush Cafe tomorrow at 4pm, Dimple.'

It took me a minute to absorb what's written on the piece of paper. I have dimples so it's for me. I looked on the other side of the road, he was still there looking at me with a smile on his face. He waved to me and left.

"Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" I was jumping on the road with happiness. I was on cloud nine. I went crazy yesterday because of his smile and today, I will die with much happiness. I hate weekends but I didn't know that weekend going to turn out that I will able meet him. Yahhhh.. Am blushing. I went office while skipping in tiny.

I told everything to Wai and he wished me good luck.

Saturday

Am in SugarRush cafe. It's already 3.45pm. In another 15 min, he will be in front of me. I wondered yesterday, why did he want to meet me? Since when did he start to observe me? Is this considered as a coffee date? I blushed.

I didn't sleep the whole night properly because of excitement. I have been fidgeting since this morning.

"Sir, do you want anything?" A beautiful waitress asked me.

"One more cold coffee." I said. She looked at me weirdly because I already drank 4 cups of cold coffee and it's going to be the 5th one. I have been here since 3pm because I am super excited.

When she placed coffee on the table, everyone's head snapped towards some sound coming from outside or a little far away from the coffee shop. Something might have happened. I shrugged it off and waited for him.

Time ticked at 4pm. Am super nervous.

5pm, is he going to be late? It's clearly written at 4pm?

6pm, am I a fool? Or is he making me a fool?

7pm, Wai called me 5 times, I didn't pick up. Messaged me asking how the date went? I didn't reply.

8pm, my stomach is making noises but I can hear my heart shattering into pieces.

9pm, Staff at the café looked at me weirdly. Maybe they are thinking, why is a certain weirdo sitting alone in the café for the last 6 hours?

10pm, Am feeling vulnerable. If he can't come, he shouldn't have asked me in the first place. Tears falling from my eyes.

11pm, I swallowed a lump in my throat when One of the staff told me, it's about time to close the café. At last, he didn't come.

I left the café and walked on the road with a lifeless face. My feelings, emotions, memories, everything crushed into pieces. I wanted to cry badly.

After reaching the apartment, I fell on the bed and cried until I was exhausted and fell asleep.

Next day, my sleep disturbed by continuous knocks on the door. I groaned. Am not in the mood to see anyone.

I opened the door and faced the most worried person on the earth, Wai.

"Why are you disturbing my sleep in the early morning?" I rubbed my eyes as my hoarse voice came out.

I came inside without me allowing him. Yeah, it's him.

"Early in the morning? It's fucking 1:40pm. I called you at night and you didn't pick up. I was calling you since morning and you are not picking up. You know how much I got worried? And now you are looking like a shit." He asked me with a worried voice. Shit? I must be looking like one. I cried the whole night so my face might be swollen, with red fluffy eyes and disoriented me. I didn't answer him and just looked at him blankly.

He sighed. When I didn't answer, he came forward and hugged me. Hug, which is one I needed the most right now. I clung to him tightly and cried my heart out. I told him everything he said, "You deserve someone worth your time."

He was there until night, he cooked me lunch and dinner. He tried to cheer me up as much as he could. Am really blessed to have a best friend like him. He left my apartment around 10pm not before saying, see you in the office.

Monday morning

I woke up without any excitement in me. I got ready mindlessly. While walking on the road, I didn't hurry to take a glimpse of him. While I was waiting to cross the road, out of habit, my eyes wandered to the other side of the road. He is not there. This is not my daily routine for three months. I felt odd and swallowed a lump in my throat. When Green signal turned red, I chuckled dry. Everyday, I feel excited whenever it turns to red but not today. I crossed the road while looking down. After crossing the road, I looked up and stood frozen. He is there, standing in front of me. He is also frozen on the spot.

I was on the verge of crying because of him. Last two days are the worst days of my life. I thought it's a mere crush but now it's confirmed. I already fell for this stranger who is standing in front of me and looking at me with longing eyes and a glint of sadness. I swallowed a lump in my throat. I tried to walk past him but he blocked my road. I tried again, he again blocked my road.

"What do you want?" My voice sounds so rude. I never wanted my first words to him like this. I practiced how to talk with him on Friday night but now my words come out rudely.

"Am sorry" His words make me stunned and his wet eyes make my heart tighten.

"Please" He sounded so bad. What's happened to him?

I accepted his apology. What can I do more than this? I love him. There is no lie in that.

"I will explain everything. I will wait for you at the same coffee shop. Let's meet after work, please." He pleaded. I wanted to listen to his side. So I agreed, saying I will meet him at 5:30pm. A smile formed on his face with tears in his eyes.

I went to the office but I didn't tell Wai about him. I don't want Wai to worry about me again in this issue. I will tell him everything after I sort it out completely.

At exactly 5:30pm, I entered the coffee shop. My eyes searched for him. And yes, he was there, occupying the corner seat of the coffee shop.

I sat in front of him. He looked up and smiled at me. A waitress came to us to take the order. She is the same waitress who took the order from me Saturday.

"One cold coffee- " I paused and looked at him.

"I don't drink and eat outside. I am a little bit conscious about outside food." I raised an eyebrow as he said. Waitress looked at me weirdly, I can't blame her. Last time I was in this coffee shop for about 8 hours.

"Just one cold coffee." She took the order and left. I don't know how to start a conversation with him while he is staring at me without blinking his eyes. Slowly a blush crept in my cheeks and I looked down. Still I can feel his eyes on me. I didn't look up until my coffee arrived.

He cleared his throat to get my attention. I gathered courage and looked up.

"I know, we started on the wrong foot. Am really for that. Shall we start again? Let me introduce myself first." He said in a sweet voice that it was smoother than butter. I found myself nodded at his words.

"Sawadee krap, My name is Pat Pawat 26 years old." He introduced himself while joining his hands in front of his chest. I was flustered. Usually people shake hands but here, this person is bowing to me while greeting me in Thai culture. 'Pat' I uttered under my breath.

"Sawadee, My name is Pran Siridechawat, 25years old." A huge grin formed on his face as soon as he heard my name.

"Am an orphan. Korn is my best friend. Aside from him, I don't have anyone. Am an engineer. Am working in a Sky construction company." I felt a tug when he said he was an orphan. He must have gone through a lot. At last, he was working in a prestigious company. I don't know why but I felt proud of him.

"My parents live in Chiang Mai. My best friend's name is Wai. Am an architect and working in a SK architecture firm with my friend." I said, taking a sip of my cold coffee.

"Pran" He called me, making my head snap towards him. I was stunned because of the way he called me. I felt ecstasy how my name rolled on his tongue.

"Am sorry. Am really sorry. That day I wanted to come and have a moment with you b…but something came up. I wasn't able to contact you. I badly wanted to come to you but.. Am sorry." He said with teary eyes. My heart clenched. I felt sincerity in his sorry voice. I was emotionally invested so much that's why I acted too much. It hurt me so much when he didn't show up but I should think about his view also.

"It's okay. Actually I was hurt and decided to not to think too much but I know I couldn't stop myself from thinking about you. Now I understand you. Am sorry for behaving rude in the morning." I apologized while looking down.

"Pran, I like you." He confessed. My jaw dropped to the ground. He was giving me a double heart attack at the same time. He called me 'Pran' and said 'he likes me'. He fucking said, he likes me. I flustered. My heart is beating crazily. I looked into his eyes, it's only showing love, affection and adoration.

"I.. I.. Am… " I don't know how to react. Shit!! It's so sudden. I've been crushing on him for the last three months. Now he is in front of me and confessing and am behaving like a complete dumb.

He chuckled. Is his chuckle music? It's fucking feeling like a music to my ears.

"I know. My confession is too sudden. You don't need to answer right away. Let's get to know each other, um?" He asked with hope in his eyes. Does he think I am not going to accept him? He is wrong. Am dying to have a chance with him but I don't want to give in easily. I behaved like I was thinking and then agreed to get to know each other.

After that, we chatted for hours about everything. Our likes, dislikes, our college life, friends, dreams and everything. We left the coffee shop after I paid. He walked with me until I reached my apartment. It's already 10pm.

"Let's meet everyday at exactly 5:30pm at the park which is near the coffee shop. I will wait for you every day." I nodded as soon as he said. He left after bidding goodbye to me. After I entered my apartment, I danced like a teenage girl who had a simple talk with her crush.

Next day morning, I woke up in a very good mood and got ready in a hurry. Even though we planned to meet in the evening, I don't want to miss the chance to have a glimpse of him while crossing the road.

I was standing wondering my eyes on the other side of the road and he was there grinning at me. His grin instantly made me smile. Green signal turned to Red. We both started to cross the road while looking into each other and grinning at each other like idiots.

When he came near to me, "Good Morning, Pran" He whispered in my ears making me blush like an idiot.

"Good morning" I whispered back. He waved to me and crossed the road. I went to the office with a grinning face. Wai looked at me weirdly. I didn't tell him anything. I wanted to sort out my feelings towards Pat and I wanted to know about him completely, then I will surprise him by saying I met Pat and getting to know each other. He will be very happy.

I was stomping my feet and waiting for my office time to complete, then I could go to the park and meet Pat.

As soon as time strikes, I barged out saying bye to Wai who looked at me weirdly.

I came to the park and he was there waving at me. He was sitting on the bench. I went to him and sat beside him.

"How was your day?" He asked me, making me feel warm inside me. My mom asks me everyday the same thing but when he was asking me, I felt warm inside me. I like it.

I nodded saying it went well. We started to get to know each other. Talking about everything which is related to us. Oddly, I felt so comfortable with him that I could share anything with him.

It's becoming routine for us to meet at the park and have a talk with each other everyday. We will meet at 5:30pm everyday and talk until 10pm. Then he will walk me to my apartment. It's become my daily routine now. I don't care, how busy am I? How many times do I have to ditch Wai? I will be in the park at the exact time. He also does the same. While sending me home, he will tell me 'I like you, Pran.' I feel on cloud nine whenever he speaks openly. Until now I haven't replied to him. Am waiting for a special moment to express my love to him. Yes, I love him.

It's been three months since we getting know each other. The best days of my life. Am dying to confess my love to him. I love the way he smiles, he cracks lame jokes, the way he looks at me like I am his whole universe, the way he openly expresses his love for me. Everything about him, making me fall harder for him.

But one thing is odd about him, the jacket and dress he wears. It's the same dress he wore the first time we met and he wore the same dress everyday. I asked him once, he said he is emotionally attached to this dress because he wore it when he met me for the first time. I laughed at it.

Today also we chatted and after that we walked towards my apartment. Sky is so clear and stars twinkling like his eyes. Weather is so calm but my heart is in chaos because I decided to confess my love to him today. Road is almost empty because it's already more than 10pm. Only a few people are here and there. While walking, I saw two very much taller and bluff men walking towards me. They are a little stumbling and might be both drunk.

As soon as our distance was reduced, they both blocked my road. I looked at Pat and then at them.

I gave space to them and walked aside but again they blocked my road standing in front of me. Pat frowned at them.

"Sir, please step aside." I asked in a polite voice.

One of them snickered. "Such a beauty. Why are you alone? Come with us, let's have fun together." I looked at his confused and disgusted face. 'What? Are they going blind because of alcohol? Can't they see Pat with me?' I thought about looking at Pat. He clenched his fist.

"Don't talk nonsense. Leave space for us to go." I raised my voice.

"Tsk Tsk feisty. I like the feisty one." Other one said. He signaled the first one and suddenly they held my wrists and started to drag me.

I got frightened and I started to wriggle to escape from him.

"You bastards!!!! Leave me. Leave me… I will call the cops. Pat, help me.. Pat!!!" I was screaming and asking for his help.

Pat was stunned first then later he was also screaming at those men to leave me.

"Leave him. I said fucking leave him. Don't touch. Please don't touch him." He was just screaming but not doing anything.

Pat is just 3cm taller than me but he is more bluff. He can throw punches at these scumbags who are dragging me somewhere but he is just shouting at them to leave me and not taking any action.

These two men are well built so they are easily dragging me while I am screaming and shouting at them.

"Wow.. Today is fest. I fucking fuck him until my thirst go away. He is fucking beautiful." One of them said making blood drain out in my body. Tears falling my eyes. I looked at Pat with tears in my eyes pleading him to help. He was also in tears, shouting and screaming at men to leave me.

When I was struggling more, one of them slapped me.

"You bastard!!! How dare you slap him?" Pat enraged. He held his fist to lunch that man but what happened next made my eyes widened.

Pat didn't punch him because Pat passed through that man. He is fucking passed through that man like they are nothing. I was stunned and froze in the place. Pat didn't stop there, again and again he tried to punch them but not to avail. He is passing through them. Now, they easily drag me because I'm not struggling. I was just frozen. Pat clutched his hair tightly in frustration. He looked up and our eyes locked. His eyes almost turned red. My eyes widened more.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" He screamed. That scream filled with agony, anger, sadness and helplessness.

Suddenly the weather changed. Star filled night occupied dark clouds, wind was vigorously flowing, heavy rain poured suddenly. The hold on my wrist loosened. They both are looking around with confused faces just like me. 'What the fuck just happened?' My eyes are not leaving him.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HIM!!!!!!" He screamed again. Now thunders striking with heavy sound make these bluff men flinch.

Those two look at each other.

"It's strange." One of them said, they ran leaving me there.

I stood there frozen looking at him. I was completely drenched in this heavy rain. He looked around.

"It's raining. You are already drenched. Go there for shelter." He said showing an already closed store.

I didn't reply, just standing.

"Pran!!" He shouted, making me snap out.

"Follow me" He said and ran towards the store. I followed him mindlessly. We both stand near the store which has a roof so we both are not wetting.

We both stood in silence for a good 5 minutes. He is looking forward, not looking towards me and I am looking at him. He is avoiding my eyes.

"Pat?" My voice is shaky. I can't believe what happened in front of me. I wanted to know. He looked at me.

"I saw what happened. You are passing through them. After your scream, the weather changed. Your eyes turned red almost. What happened? What did you do? And what are you?" My tears rolled as I asked him. Am afraid. Am afraid to hear his reasons. He gulped.

"Do you….Do you believe me if I tell the truth?" He asked with teary eyes. I nodded. I believe him. I believe in my Pat.

But I didn't expect his next words to have the ability to stop my breath and my world.

"Am dead, Pran. I was already dead. You asked what I am, I don't know what I am. I was dead. Am the spirit, which was seeking your love even after my death." He said, taking my breath away.

Pat's POV

Am Pat Pawat and an Orphan. I don't have anyone except my close friend, Korn. I spent my childhood in an orphanage. My grades are good because of that, I got a scholarship to continue my further studies. I became an engineer as I dreamed and now working in a prestigious company with my friend, Korn.

My life was too boring. Just the office, my friend and apartment. It was colorless, until I saw him. The epitome of beauty. He captured my heart at first sight. It's like a normal day. While I was crossing the road, I saw him. I fell for him but I didn't approached. It has been several months of me watching him everyday while crossing the road.

Korn pursued me saying I should approach him. One day I gathered courage and smiled at the beauty. He was frozen seeing my smile. I grinned like a crazy person by looking at his frozen face. I told Korn, he encouraged me saying I might have a chance with this beauty.

Same day I got lucky. My Company CEO told me they selected me as a New manager and announce it officially on Monday. I was on cloud nine. I know, selecting a new manager has been running in the company since last month. They have a great opinion of me because of my hard work. Me and Korn, joined the company at the same time. As time went by, the CEO was impressed by my work and chose me for a new manager post. I was totally happy that day.

Korn congratulated me and told me it's all because of that beauty. I got more lucky after smiling at my beauty. So he encouraged me to make a move on him.

So the next day, I slipped a paper in his hand. I was hoping he would come. When he saw his smile while reading the paper, I was damn sure he would become my lover.

Next day/Saturday

I got ready. I wanted to impress him. I told him to meet me at SugarRush Coffee shop by 4pm. I was excited so I was almost at the coffee shop by 3:45pm. I wanted to meet him, get to know him, have a chance with him and make him my boyfriend but unfortunately luck is not on my side.

I needed to cross the road to reach coffee. While crossing the road, a car dashed towards me. I didn't even get a slightest chance to escape. That car hit me and drove away. My body fell on the road with blood pooling. My last thought in my mind, that beauty. I didn't get a chance to even talk with him. A single tear fell from my eyes.

My soul separated from my lifeless body. I looked around as people surrounded my lifeless body. Someone called an ambulance. After a few minutes, an ambulance took my lifeless body. I followed the ambulance. Even though my soul is already out of the body, still there is tiny hope in me. Doctors might be able to save me. After reaching the hospital, doctors took me to the emergency room and declared my death. I wanted to cry my heart out. Why did my life turn out like this? Why did my life end so quickly? I was just 26 years old. I wanted to talk with him, love him and grow with him. Am about to become a manager and have a good future.

Doctors called the emergency number I saved in my phone, It's Korn. He collected my body, did every ritual like his own family and buried me. He cried like hell. I wasn't able to console him. I wasn't able to touch him. A soul like me can't touch a human.

People say after human death, souls left the world. But why am I still in this world?

I was walking mindlessly on the roads. Wherever I walked, I ended in a signal crossing road where I first saw him.

Today is Monday, Weekday starts. He will go the office. He need to pass this road to go office so I was waiting for him. At least I want to see him.

While waiting, I saw him on the other side of the road. He is looking down. He crossed the road and looked up. His eyes locked with mine.

I was stunned. Humans can't see souls. But how can he look into my eyes?

He tried to walk past me. I wanted to confirm whether he could see me Or not. I blocked his road standing in front of him. He again tried to walk away and again I blocked.

"What do you want?" He asked me with a rude voice. I was on the verge of crying. He can see me. He can see me. Maybe that's why I didn't leave the world. Maybe this is my chance.

I asked him sorry and asked him to give me a chance to explain everything. He agreed. His face looks dull and eyes puffy. I think am the reason for his sadness.

I don't want to miss the chance I got. So I was already waiting for him at the same coffee shop. He came. He ordered a drink himself when he looked at me, I said I don't drink and eat outside. I don't want to get caught before I get to know him. I don't want to scare him away.

We started introducing ourselves. I said sorry. As a kind hearted Angel, he accepted. I said, I like him. I don't know if I will get another chance or not. I wanted to confess my feelings for him. I didn't get a chance when I was alive. Now, I can't miss it.

We talked and decided to get to know each other. I wait for him everyday to see him and have a talk with him. I don't know when was my last day on the earth, I don't want to regret.

Today, when those men dragged my Pran, I was helpless. I know a soul like me can't touch a human. I tried to push them and lunch on them but not to avail. Then my agony, anger and helplessness make me scream. They ran away. Now I am in front of my Pran, explaining everything.

Author POV

Pran- "You a..are dead?" He tears scrolling on his cheeks. He choked on his tears. He loved Pat but he didn't know that he lost him. Pat nodded.

Pran started to cry loudly while holding chest.

Pran- "Why… Why did you left me? I… Was.. Lov.. Loving you. Dreaming.. About you. I.. I … lost you, Pat." He was crying while choking his tears. Pat isn't able to see tears in Pran's eyes. He wanted to hold Pran but he couldn't. He can't touch humans but not able to see his tears, Pat tried to hug Pran.

He did. Pat's eyes widened as Pran's. He was able to touch Pran. He didn't know how it happened. A faint voice heard in Pat's mind.

'If someone's love and tears towards you is true, you are able to touch them.'

After hearing the voice, Pat hugged Pran tightly. Finally he was able to feel Pran in his arms. More tears fell from his eyes. Pran hugged him back tightly. He is afraid, if he loosens his hold, Pat might disappear.

After a good 10 minutes, Pat broke the hug and wiped his tears.

Pat- "Don't cry, baby. Even though I'm dead, I am here for you. Are you afraid that I am a spirit?" He asked with an afraid voice. He doesn't want Pran to push him away.

Pran- "No. Am not afraid. I love you, Pat. I love you. Please don't leave me." Pat cried and hugged him back. His Pran is loving him back but his fate is rotten. He is dead. He lost the chance to have a life with Pran. He knows, one day he will have to leave Pran. He wanted to make memories before he left the world.

Pat- "I love you too, baby."

After calming down, Pran took him to his apartment. Pran came to know, no one could see Pat or touch him. He was one who could. Pran knows, Pat can't stay in the world because he is a spirit. When his time comes, he leaves him. He wanted to make memories with him as much as he could.

After the incident, both Pran and Pat started to live together. Even Pat follows Pran to his office because no one can see him. Both are trying to make memories with each other.

It's been 2months, since the incident. Both are now lying on the bed. Even though Pat don't want to sleep, Pran wanted it. He is trying to sleep but Pat tickles him.

Pran- "Pat...hahaha… stop"

Pat- "Aww.. Baby. How can I stop? When you are smiling, your dimples look cute."

Pran started to tickle Pat now. Both are laughing while tickling each other. They stopped tickling each other when they locked eyes. Tension filled in the air.

Pat- "Pran?"

Pran hummed without averting his gaze.

Pat- "Can I kiss you, baby?"

In these months togetherness, they never intimated. Pran nodded. He wanted to give his first kiss to his Pat.

Pat cupped his face, placed a kiss on his forehead. Pran closed his eyes momentarily, feeling the kiss. Pat placed kisses on his eyes, both the cheeks and tip of the nose.

Lastly he pressed his lips on Pran's lips. Their lips are not moving, just trying to remember those lips on them. They wanted to remember each other's lips. After breaking the kiss,

Pat- "I love you, only you, forever and ever."

Pran nodded with tears in his eyes.

Pran- "Love you too, my Pat."

Pran placed his head on Pat's chest while hugging his waist. Even though Pat's heart's not beating, it's his favorite place to sleep everyday. Pat hugged him back. Pran drifted into sleep.

Morning

Pran groaned in his sleep while waking up. He felt bed to soft under him. Usually he sleeps on Pat's chest and it's hard. When he woke up completely, he looked around. Pat is not there. He swallowed a lump in throat. He checked his whole apartment but he didn't find Pat anywhere. Tears already brimmed in his eyes. He slumped on the sofa.

He heard a faint voice in his mind.

'Am sorry for leaving you. It's my time. Remember, I love you my Pran. I love you forever. Let's meet once again. Let's fall in love again. Let's grow old together. Wait for me, baby. I love you.'

Pran cried loudly. He knows this day will come one day.

"I love you too, Pat, only you, forever and ever. I will wait for you. I will meet you. I will become yours in every lifetime." He said hugging himself and devoting his life to his Pran. He is gonna wait for Pat in every lifetime until they meet again.

Somewhere in Bangkok famous bar

Someone drinking alcohol in a frustrated mood.

Other one came and sat beside me, "What? You didn't get a manager's post?" He mocked him. That someone shaking his head saying No.

He took a sip, "You are too evil. You get rid of your close friend to get the manager post in the company. You got over jealous of your friend. You wanted to take every scholarship in school to impress your parents but your friend Pat beat you by taking the scholarship. You both joined the company at the same time but his name was finalized for the Manager post. Out of jealousy, you joined your hands with me and killed your best friend. But now? You didn't get a promotion. You are too cruel, Korn. You killed your best friend for a simple promotion." He mocked him again.

Korn- "Don't dare to say it's simple. He was an obstacle for me in every aspect of my life. I loved a girl in college but she loved him. Of course, he rejected saying he is gay. Everyone looked at me like a am faggot because I was with him all the time. He stole my scholarships. I studied hard too for a scholarship but he stole. In the company also, everyone praises him. I worked hard while the Company selected him for a Promotion. I have to kill him. I don't want him to be an obstacle in my life. Then what about you? Did you get your love? You join hands with me to kill my friend to get your love. Did you get him? You are the reason for his broken heart, Poor Pran. You are more cruel than me, Wai." Korn spilled his venom making Jimmy gritted his teeth.

Wai loved Pran since they were kids. He wanted to confess to Pran when the right time arrived but the Entry of Pat in Pran life changed everything. Pran started to talk about Pat to Wai everyday. It makes Wai's heart break. He wanted Pran for himself, only for himself.

One day while he was drinking, he met Korn in the bar. Both spit their frustrations out. Then he found out Korn's friend is none other than One who Pran fell in love with. Korn knows about Pat's crush.

When Pran told Wai, his crush wanted to meet him the next day. Wai contacted Korn and planned the accident and killed the Pat.

Wai killed Pat for Pran and Korn killed Pat for promotion.

After Pat's death, the Company selected another person named Mark for the manager post.

Coming to Wai, after Pat's death, he thought Pran going to be heart broken but he found Pran leaving office everyday at sharp time, always ditching him and always dumb towards his approaches.

It's been five months since Pat's death but Wai didn't get a chance to make Pran his.

Wai- "Maybe I didn't make him mine now. But believe me Korn, he will become mine. I don't leave him until I make him mine." He gritted teeth making Korn chuckle in sarcasm.

Little did he know, Pran was never gonna be his.
