A Tale Of Thousand Stars – Novel BoyLove – Chapter 2.2
Tian tried to control his emotions, because he knew the purpose of coming here today was not to argue.
“I’m not the same as what you said, I already said that I’m a junior at university.”
“Which university?”
The young man flipped his tongue barely when he realized it, “i mean college.” Fortunately, this aunt didn’t have much education. So she didn’t doubt what he said.
“So, why did you come here?”
“Um…” He thought for an excuse for just a moment. “Thorfun has borrowed my book..”
“Oh, so you want to get it back.” She skewed her mouth insultlingly, “just a book. If you want to get it back, get it. Before i carried her things to sell it.”
Tian sighed in relief that he finally got into the target house. He looked a little at door, he saw the dog still snarling beside the plastic bowl that had been thrown before. Tian is a little scared, who knows if the dog will bite people or not. And the aunt walked to the back of the house that was a dirty mess room.
“It’s all here. If you want something, grab it quickly and go. I still have to eat.” When she finished speaking, her phone rang and he didn’t even bother because notice that she was busy.
The high society boy turned back to his business. He kneeling on the cement floor filled with debris sand without fear of dirty clothes.
Slim hands lifted the bag that put many clothes out. Until found a large cardboard box containing personal belongings of Thorfun, He slowly opened it with a thrilling heart.
Immediately, his eyes stumbled upon a plastic picture frame with a cute young woman standing in the midst of a field of flowers blooming with a little sunlight behind her. She was smiling beautifully.
Suddenly, Tian’s left chest ached, making his whole body stiffen, so that his heart was not well, “I know, you mean that this woman is your owner, right?” Tian tried to bear it, trying to relieve the pain in his chest, Until the heart calmed down and then began to ransack the belongings of the villagers again.
Tian took the identity card of the staff with blood stains, dried up like no one cares to help clean it.
…Saengthong Foundation
“Hey! Haven’t you found them yet?!” The old lady’s voice came out loud. Causing the person to be completely startled.
“I found it!” be shouted in resnonse. Tian turned back to look at the pile of things in the crate again. Before deciding to pick up a few textbooks and diary book then hold them. When he was about to leave, there was another lady who staring at him like to find fault.
“What did you get? Bring it to me to check.”
In fact, it was the first time in his life that he was seen as a thief by others. He handed each of the books in his hand to that person, until he spoke uncomfortably, “These are just a few books. It wouldn’t be worth it just for me to steal them.”
“In your eyes, it’s not worth it. but for me, anything can be converted into money. It’s all valuable.” She waved to her visitors away without courtesy, “Go, go. I will sleep during the day.”
The son of a former military officer was slammed into the iron fence, causing his brain to numb for a moment. Tian blew out a breath, kicked with his foot to release the slightly uncomfortable emotion.
It looks like his day is wasted, He doesn’t know Miss Thorfun more than the information that Tul had provided. Aside from just being from a poor family And have insidious relatives.
Then a question stuck in his mind,
…grew up in such a bad environment. Then what is the driving force from her to became a ‘Volunteer teacher’ who does not know what to get as compensation? but certainly is not ‘money’
Tian suddenly stopped, he had to force himself to stop thinking about these matters, But it’s too late, he is aware of his own habits. If a question arises It’s so difficult to forget.
A clear sweat sprung up on the forehead because of trying to walk in the afternoon heat in the afternoon in order to find a taxi on the main road in front of the village. He must hurry back to report himself, or not his mother will force his father to use the remaining prestige to send an army out to find his son all over Bangkok.
In the hexagonal house in Thai style, appeared the body of the little son of a former military officer lying in bed, playing a game on the iPad. His mobile phone was broken After escaping from uncle Chad, a driver sent by her mother some days ago. And then he took a taxi back home with as much excuse as possible.
“I just met a friend at a cafe earlier, he said he wanted to show me the car he just bought, so my arms and legs were faster than my brain, I couldn’t think of anything, so I followed him.”
Tian’s mother was so touched that she wanted to hit him, but she want to hear him properly.
“When I got to the gas station, I was about to call and tell mom, but I didn’t expect to be touched by someone else, causing the phone to fall to the floor, leaving the phone broken and wet with water on the floor.” As he spoke, he was afraid she couldn’t believe it, so he took the evidence to show his mother. It’s true that the phone is really broken, and it was still wet.
Only then did his mother believe her son’s words, since he had returned home without any problems. After that she then became convinced that he had not run away, but still could not stop bothering Tian, and will not let him out again.
Tian became a lazy person, holding an ipad he wanted to find out some information, forwarded it without hesitation and looked for the,
“..Saengthong foundation.”
Tian examined some basic information because the content is not very special, most of it is just a summary of the Fund’s motives. He checked the facebook page of a volunteer professor, probably a Thorfun’s colleague. The more he reads, the more he is surprised.
without knowing it, and not even thinking about it, in front his eyes there was another world. It was completely different from the world in which he had held the golden spoon since birth.
It is rare for young people to be interested in the voluntary work of teachers, because it is a job of helping the poorest, without receiving any remuneration.
Tian slightly dismissive, but it seemed that he started to believe in what he saw.
At the moment, his mother’s voice calls him, “Tian, come here! P’Tay called and want to speak with you”. He also didn’t ask himself why P’Tay called again, since the day he “escaped” he was forbidden to go anywhere, so he had no chance to leave.
“Hello P’Tay, is there something wrong?” He answered the phone, “I don’t want to talk too much.”
“So can you just hear me complaining?” Tian smiled slightly to answer the question when he heard his angry voice.
“Did you just call to say that? Okay, I’m going to hang up.” Looking at the way he spoke, he knew that now that Tay didn’t speak well, Tian want to hang up. but he wasn’t kidding,
“Slowly, listen to me, I’ve been off for a few days, so I’m wondering if I should buy you a new phone or not.”
“Please, will you come to my house? It is so good that I will be happy these days.” Just now, only P’Tay is the one who could convinced his mother to ‘open the door’ for him to go outside.
“So, we must deal with each other. But, don’t you have something to confess to me?”
Suddenly, Tay changed the subject. He ask seriously. Even though Tian’s mother has already told him about the fact, but the reason the phone was broken so that made him not contacting his family, make P’Tay suspicious. the reason is very ridiculous.
“No…”
“What’s the secret? I promise, I won’t say anything to others.”
Tian bites his lip, his breath hitched, “there’s nothing P’Tay, believe me.”
“You are really stubborn, stop walking and wait a few more days. I’ll be back in Bangkok and we’ll talk again.” On the other side of the phone, someone seemed to be looking for Tay’s hand. “I’m going to have a meeting soon, wait and l’ll be there.”
“Okay, so go get your meeting ready.” Just when Tian was about to hang up, he saw the news on the iPad and quickly asked Tay,
“Wait P’Tay! If you do something, and you don’t get any money for it, do you feel happy? Wouldn’t it be a loss for time?” Unfortunately, Tian doesn’t see Tay’s expression at the moment. As expressionless, of course he surprised, he couldn’t believe it as Tian asked that question, not shocking the new culture.
“Well, actually..” P’Tay was a little confused, he didn’t know what Tian was thinking when he asked that question, but he got more serious because he didn’t want to provoke him anymore, because he was responsible for his answer. maybe it affects Tian’s mind.
“The last time I spoke to you, to donate money for a social action that was to help the poorest people, I remember very well that you said it was a waste of time…”Here he paused for a moment, trying to explain his thoughts.
“I just want to tell you that if you don’t try to do it, you’ll never know what it’s like to help and work for others, it also means that you find true happiness.”
The speaker accidentally listened intentionally. At the moment, Tian was sitting, pursed his lips and spoke softly.
“You mean I’m the one who’s not happy, right? Because I never did anything for others before.”
After Tay heard him say it was a little funny, he said gently, “Of course I don’t want to say it, but it just that you never felt real life out there.”
Tian didn’t know what to say next, and Tay would be going to a meeting soon, so only Tian was sitting stunned with all the questions in his mind.
How is the world outside?
What is their true life?
The words Tay said are difficult to understand, or because medical students are always so difficult to understand. Tian’s handsome face gets more stressed.
Tian is not a miser, he knows that money can buy physical happiness, but how to make the soul happy too?
He looked at the whole mansion, neat and tidy, there were always servants everywhere, everyone who came here seemed to be in heaven.
Not to mention that parents and siblings are all socially dominant people, usually appearing in TV, and magazines. Sometimes Tian feels a little vague and sometimes very different from everyone else.
Being famous and being acclaimed was not something Tian wanted, he remembered the happy memories of the past that he almost forgot.
Perhaps just a few words of praise to him, after fixing an FM radio on his brother at the age of eleven, remembering that it was enough to make him smile momentarily.
He was even happier than when his father gave him a new car.
“Am I crazy or not?” Tian murmured to himself, then got up to change his clothes, he would exercise a little to forget the various thoughts in his mind. In that case, he would probably go crazy all the time.
Sitting and resting after exercise, Tian returned to his room. Now he was stronger than before, he didn’t need someone to help him.
His room is really big, fully equipped with a mini-cinema with all the equipment similar to the big exterior, not to mention that there are also specialized glasses for watching 3D films and many films.
Tian collapsed on the couch with super relax, while wiping sweat from his hair while the luxurious TV also showed an interesting program.
Tian was a little happy watching the program on TV. In the repertoire, everyone was standing in front of each other’s jewels, reciprocating and then singing.
There are also scenes of carrying palanquin as in the old days. Because he had to abstain from alcohol now, he could only drink lemonade, so he almost spit.
On TV, a middle-aged woman, dressed in pink clothes, a necklace and various jewels and to the applause of the audience. But the boy sitting at here is scratching his head, he really doesn’t want to laugh at the style because it looks like his mother’s. But the style of clothing and makeup, all of that was expensive.
Tian laughed wryly, wanting to crawl on the couch, and then he went to try to take control of the TV.
‘Thank you teacher Thorfun.’ A sheet of paper has fallen. It is known that it is not good to bring the things from the deceased house, but he doesn’t care. Her heart is still beating, it’s in someone else’s chest now.
He was about to throw that book away because he saw that there was nothing left until he accidentally saw the diary.
When he took it, he had never opened it before, but this diary was covered with colorful covers, attractive decoration, in which there were the words,
‘A tale of thousand stars’
“Tale?”
Is this a diary that many children write?
He was a little concerned when he turned the front page of the diary. Simple and clear handwriting, clear written words.
“Once upon a time, Thorfun life started here…”
Reading this, Tian is a little impatient. What a tale, she is obviously telling her own story. He was thinking about reading other people’s diaries a little impolite, so he closed it when another photo fell.
What else exists, there are more photos. In the photo, a tall figure, wearing a military uniform, carrying a gun. Because he looked up at the sunny sky, his face was a little vague.
Is ‘he’ the one who Thorfun remembers all day and all night?
At that moment, his heart suddenly beat faster and he was not calm as before. His chest appeared to have been crushed by a large stone.
The heart was beating faster, Tian tried to sit motionless on the couch to calm his heart. He tried to adjust his breathing. After stabilizing, his entire body fell on the sofa and stared at the ceiling, holding the soldier’s picture firmly.
Is ‘He’ that the secret hidden deep in your heart, Thorfun?
