“How do I look Prim?” Miriam turned around in her red dress and Prim face palmed.
“That’s the ñth time I’m saying you it’s nice…..okay, it really looks good on you. Now can we go? phuak and Fong are waiting outside”Prim asked and Miriam nodded and walked out of the room to join their friends who were also invited for the lunch with Brightwin.
_
Everyone sat around the table. Brightwin together and Prim between fong and Bright while Miriam was between Jackson and Tonhon.
There was an awkward silence at first but they all eventually got busy eating and chatting with each other after a while.
“So, are you two okay?”Prim looked up at the married couple who looked surprised by the question.
“W-why did you asked that?” Bright asked.
“Nothing….. you’re not talking to each other…..what happened?” Prim asked.
“It’s nothing Prim. We’re fine. Eat fast and we can hangout a bit” Win smiled and Prim nodded hesitantly.
“Okay”she shrugged it off thinking they might still need time to get along.
_
While hangout Bright’s gaze was restlessly following four people. Fong and Prim and walking close to each other laughing with each other and same goes with Win and Tonhon who were walking together.
Bright was sitting with Miriam,Phuak and Jackson who were enjoying there icecream.
“Miriam, I like this girl from my class. But there is my enemy who’s trying to get close to her, and as the days goes by I’m afraid that I’ll lose her…..what should I do?”Phuak asked to Miriam.
“Aish, don’t be afraid. If your love is true you should fight for. Go to him tackle him down and go get your girl bruh”Miriam said ever so energetically and Bright was also listening to this. He watched Tonhon trying to get too close to Win and get up from the seat and the other 3flinched.
“Chill, he just stood up”Phuak said and Miriam stopped coughing.
_
“Do you think this will work?”Win asked to Tonhon who was moving close to him slowly.
“Sure, he’s walking towards us. Okay, don’t freak out. Act normal and play along”Tonhon whispered and Win stared at him.
“Tonhon…….why are you helping you if you had a crush on me?” Win asked suddenly and he smiled.
“Let’s just say that seeing the smile of the people we like is enough to make our heart feel full. Now focus, he’s a few steps away” Tonhon was about to place him palm gently on the other one’s red cheek when Bright slapped off his hands and Win suddenly flinched even if he knew this would happen.
Without a word Bright grabbed Win’s wrist and take him to the other side of the park.

“Won’t you miss me when I go back?” Fong looked at Prim who was sitting next to him on the grass and her hands was caressing a puppy sleeping next to her. She chuckled.
“Why would I?”she asked and he was taken back a little.
“So you won’t?”he asked feeling a little hurt and the owner of the puppy thanked them for looking over it and took it with them leaving them two alone. Fong stared at her face and she smiled looking ahead.
I don’t know why I feel this way when I’m with you Fong, You’re one of my best friends…….maybe I just feel this because you were the only one to make my heart feel better…..I would like to have you along with me all along……can it be love? Maybe……maybe not…..But even if I love you I would bottle up my feelings just because you deserve better. One thing I’m sure, when you go back I’ll miss you…..
“Prim,what are you smiling at?”Fong asked.
“Nothing”she smiled.
“You still didn’t answered my question”he looked into her eyes and she giggled and shook her head and his smile fall.
“Ay, what are you two doing here alone?Come , let’s go”Bright appeared behind them and they both stood up.
“I’ll come to airport with Phuak, I have to get my bags”Fong said when they were getting in car’s.
“So Prim, Miriam and Jackson will go with u-“Prim cut off Win.
“I’ll go with Miriam and Jackson in Jackson’s car. Are you coming too Tonhon?”Prim looked at the taller one who smiled.
“I got some things to do, don’t count me in”he said and Bright’s face lit up.
“Then we can get going”Prim said and she followed Jackson with Miriam to his car.
_
Win stared ahead blankly ,at the lights of the car ahead of theirs.
“Sad? That your dumbass friend didn’t joined?”Bright scoffed and Win smirked.
“Can you please tell why do you keep calling my friend dumbass?”
“Because he’s good for nothing and is trying to steal someone else’s wife”Bright said and Win rolled his eyes.
“Oh please don’t start with me. When did you treat me as a wife? Ask to yourself and then talk”he scoffed and looked at the side views, corners of his eyes glistening.
Your eye’s shows you are jealous,then why don’t you just admit it? Can’t you see all I need is your love? Even an outsider can see my feelings for you except you. Why can’t I be the one you dream of? Why did you said I can’t be the one you can be with? Am I not good looking? Am I not enough to satisfy you? Or do you have someone………you are in love with………even if yes, can’t you just let it out………I hoped that we would’ve been together when we go back…..but it feels like you’re far away when you’re still next to me…..will we ever be together? What is the fact that is keeping you away from you? Why can’t I be the one for you?
Win closed his eyes letting his tears fall.
_
“Did you told her what you feel?”Phuak asked and concentrated on driving to airport.
“Not exactly…..but I think she don’t feel the same for me”Fong said.
“Why?”
“I asked her if she’ll be missing me when I’m gone…..”
“What did she said?”
“She said nothing”Fong smiled sadly and Phuak looked at him worriedly and focused back at driving not knowing how to console his cousin.
You may not love me yet Prim, but I’ll not be like your brother who’s hesitating to show his feelings……. I’ll show you my feelings ,if you could understand it or not. and I’ll confront to you soon…..when I came here, I had hopes that when I go back, I’ll have your hands in mine and the reason behind your smile will be me. Maybe not this time, but one day I’ll have you with me by my side, and I’ll make you feel happy and erase all the pain from your heart. I love you Prim…….
Fong smiled and saw that they were close to airport.
_
Win felt someone shaking him and opened Bright’s face closed to his.
“Wake up, we are here”Bright said and wait did he smiled a bit? Maybe he did or Win was just imagining?
Win stretched his body a bit and stepped out of the car,oops. His bad. He stumbled upon something and was about to fall but Bright hold his hand and prevented him from falling and their friends who were taking out the luggages from the car sighed in relief.
Win blinked thrice and took his hand away from Bright’s.
“You okay Win?”Bright asked and Win nodded.
“I-im fine, thanks”Win mumbled.
“Be careful”Bright said and walked to help with luggages and left Win surprised and blushing.
“Ow Fong is here too”Jackson said looking behind and Prim walked to there and decided to help him with luggages. Bright indeed noticed something weird in her.
“I’ll help with luggages”Prim said and Fong smiled.
“Omg Prim,just take care. You’re recovering. I can deal with this”Fong said and she pouted.
“Stop treating me like a kid”
“Then you should stop being like one”Fong shook his head and smiled.
It was finally time for them to leave and they hugged each other.
“I’ll miss you my peanut”win hugged her and Bright did too.
“It’s time to leave guy’s”Bright said and Win and Fong nodded. Fong looked at you and you looked away feeling something weird pain in her heart. She shrugged it off.
They were about to walk in when Prim noticed something on the floor. A Keychain,to be exact…… Fong’s. She grabbed it and began to ran after them and her friends watched her with wide opened mouth.
Fong was about to step in when she pulled him back avoiding the creepy stare of the other passengers and their family.
“Prim-“They both stared at each other and felt their heartbeats getting increased.
Bright gritted his teeth and win touched his hands.
“They are just talking and we are in public”Bright calmed down under Win’s touch.
Prim smiled a bit and give the Keychain to him.
“It’s yours……and……. I’ll miss you”she whispered and he smiled.
“Fong, we’re getting late” win said.
“Then you can keep this”Fong gave her back the keychain and walked in with a smile on his face and Prim walked back to her friends with a teasing smile.
“So…….what was that?”Miriam teasingly smiled and Prim rolled her eyes.
“Oh come on,I just wanted to give him back his keychain”
“If so then why do you still have this with you?”phuak wriggled his eyebrows and Prim hesitated.
“Come on, you’re teasing my sister way too much. Go get in the car”Jackson defended for Prim and they obeyed.
_
Win was struggling with his bags and Bright smiled.
“Let me help you, give it here”Bright didn’t wait for Win’s response and took one of his bag with Bright’s and Fong watched them with a smile and as they walked ahead, and Win was walking slowly thinking about why is Bright acting so caring and loving all of a sudden…….
Not to mention,Win was feeling happy from these little move’s of Bright…….
