Miracle of a Teddy Bear English Fan
Translation, Chapter 07: Never colonized.
Every
night after playing with a mobile phone, Phii Nat will use Mrs. Mobile phone to
set the timer instead of the alarm clock and place it around the head of the
bed that are placed close to each other. By default, Taohu has a very close
conversation with Mrs. Mobile phone of Phii Nat, she has a monotone voice not
that different from Madam Mathana’s mobile phone but is smarter and more agile
since she is a newer phone.
Having
not seen each other for a few days, Khun
Telephone got a cell phone to send his regards to him and with important
news the next afternoon and by Mrs.
Duvet, it was collected and broadcast to Taohu.
“Mrs.
Mobile Telephone said that after Nong Ken called to tell the story of his
meeting with Taohu, he let Nong Nat listen until the end. Nong Nat was in a
good mood actually because of Taohu and that made Nong Nat smile. Last night,
we were all surprised by each other.”
Taohu nodded with a blissful smile. Phii Nat is normally a very private person and doesn’t show emotion easily despite his cute appearance but is so calm that he almost runs like a mask to talk to his best friend in the best mood like Phii Ken. At most the corners of the mouth just dragged a little higher and instead of a broad smile. So, that Phii Nat was smiling with a full face and smiling almost all the time in the bedroom until he fell asleep, it was a story that everyone and everyone, told each other for a long time.
“I’m
glad to make Phii Nat smile.”
Not
until the end of the word, Miss Side
Pillow inserted a word, “Even though I still don’t know why!”
If
Taohu’s happiness is a bubble, Miss Side
Pillow’s words are like a sharp needle and that makes a bubble pop. Taohu
was irritated but not squatting like Phii Nat and part of him had to admit that
he still didn’t understand how he could do it.
Mrs. Duvet comforted him saying that,
“Alright. At least it’s a good sign, soon Taohu will definitely be back in our
room.”
“How
long will that take, how many days, how many months, how many years.”
This
time, even the kind Mrs. Duvet was
starting to make annoying noises, probably because of that, Miss Side Pillow was quick to continue,
“But you wouldn’t have to wait that long using the plan I just came up with.”
Everyone
turned to Miss Side Pillow with
interest.
The
owner of the idea smiled proudly and started saying, “Come to think of it, this
house has only three bedrooms, one room used by Nong Nat’s mother, the other
room for Nong Nat and only one room left. If we can’t make that room
uninhabitable, you might as well move to this room instead because Nong Nat
wouldn’t let you go to his mother and disturb his mother in the room and Madam
Mathana wouldn’t be mean to let you sleep on the sofa downstairs.”
“Sounds...
sounds interesting.” Mr. Chair spoke
slowly from the front of the room and still tried not to get caught in the
Isaan accent, “But what to do? give the room, this side is here... can’t stay.”
“You
can’t light a fire; they will slam and be blown to death by the house.” Miss Table working next to him made a
terrible noise.
“You
don’t have to do anything.” Miss Side
Pillow laughed, “Because what is needed is emptiness.”
“The
Emptiness?” Khun Uncle Notebook
pondered in perplexity, “Yes.” The thought provoked a firm tone with confidence
and excitement, “We must create what is in the emptiness!”
“This
is what you mean...?” Khun Uncle
Notebook snorted. Miss Side Pillow
nods, “Ghosts!”
“Ghost!?”
The things moan in the same voice.
But
Miss Side Pillow didn’t care and
stared at Taohu, “Think about it, the Bear. If the room you slept in had
ghosts, you wouldn’t be able to stay and you would have moved back into the
room. Now, you’ll have to tell Nong Nat that there’s something in the room and
it’s staring at you from the darkness, moving in silence. Really easy, right?
We all know that it’s actually because we the objects in there are the ones who
are moving ourselves.”
“But
in that room...” Taohu tried to recall his memory, “There doesn’t seem to be
any moving objects at all.”
“Well,
we don’t have to let anyone move, it’s our mouth that has to move.”
“But
I agree with the Bear.” Khun Uncle
Notebook objected somewhat and when he spoke everyone would stop and
listen, this time too.
“This
house is not that old. Some of you may not know or don’t remember that we just
moved in together and have been living here for 5-6 years. Although Madam
Mathana’s husband bought the house, this house was built ten years ago and no
one has ever said that it had renters before. Madam Mathana’s husband is also
very careful and checked the house that is if he is the one who decides to buy
the house, he has to find good information to make sure there is no such thing
as ghosts.”
The
listeners are different and don’t know what to think but for Taohu... He had
been led by the words of Khun Uncle
Notebook leading his wrist into the past.
Yes,
and Taohu is like Khun Uncle... He’s from an old house that has been moved,
rather than the newly purchased Miss
Side Pillow, Miss Table work
chair, or even Missus Sofa, Grandma-Vacuum Cleaner, and Khun Right Slipper who were touching
downstairs.
The
house that Taohu used to live in before coming to this house was in an
apartment not far from this house and Madam Mathana husband bought it for his
family to expand from their ancestral home. the Auntie once told Taohu that for
herself it was a decent home there. However, she never thought that she would
live there in the apartment till she dies because the word house for her was a
single-family home like she had been with her grandmother since childhood. It
wasn’t the buildings that were so close that they could even hear the breath
from the neighboring houses.
‘In
the old days, the house where Madam Mathana lived with Grandma. If not, we hadn’t
moved it would have been called great-grandfather house. It’s a detached house
at the end of the alley. Behind the house, there is an area of trees leading to a garden.
Madam Mathana like to look at the ditches and flowers.’ Here Madam Mathana voice
was muffled and somewhat repressed. Taohu did not expect this story and sat
quietly waiting to listen while giving Auntie encouragement.
“We
had to mortgage it so I could have enough money to study. At that time, my
great-grandfather was already old and his savings were not enough. We had to
live very economically and the grandmother intended that no matter what, she
wanted me to finish my studies. I myself intended that after work I would
gradually pay back the debt and get back the house but it was unsuccessful.”
“I
remember that the grandmother was sick because of this and that due to old
age.”
“Yes,
not long after meeting Khun Uncle Saen. My grandmother kept getting worse and
older and we need money. Even if she said we don’t have to worry about her illness
and just get the house back. My husband, he’s such a good man.” As always,
Madam Mathana turned to the side, in the void like there was a shadow of Khun
Uncle Saen beside her.
Always.
“Saen
lent money to me. Even if I didn’t have enough, I tried to find money from
every direction, I’m so tired. I felt really sorry, for my mom. I felt sorry
for my husband too. If it wasn’t for my illness, my husband wouldn’t have to.”
The
drop of water did not fall from Madam Mathana’s eyes but rather dry, as if the
owner of the eye had lost so many tears that there wasn’t enough for this time.
“Yes,
my mother knows that my husband has nothing to do with me except to help me. My
husband has always regretted having to get involved with Mrs. Uma.”
Putting
together the words the Auntie recounted then and on and on, Taohu got the gist
that Mrs. Uma is a little younger than the Auntie and she was the only daughter
of a salad factory employer where Khun Uncle Saen works. Khun Uncle tried to
raise money to help Madam Mathana in various ways, one of which was to borrow
from her employer before, thus causing Mrs. Uma to invade Khun Uncle’s personal
life.
‘She
was a well-informed, confident, self-reliant and self-determination woman,
unlike me who was not good at doing anything.’
Actually,
Madam Mathana is a good woman. Even though she was looking after her
grandmother she took care of herself beyond words. But maybe because at that
time the monsoon emotions swarmed in every direction and from the one who used
to manage different matters by herself decisively. Madam Mathana was therefore
in the middle of confusion, like she couldn’t pay attention to her love affairs
especially when the old grandmother became so sick that she could barely regain
consciousness. So, at the start of a new love affair, there was a woman who
came along.
‘Mrs.
Uma made me feel small. The first day that Saen got out of the car led her to
greet me, she had a beautiful smile with bright red lipstick. There was a sweet
voice, actually joking that Madam Mathana, you are lucky and there are
people who are tired to help you but I’m delighted with your luck. Because it
made me a lucky person too.’
Madam
Mathana swallowed her saliva as it was acidic and her red eyes dried up even
more.
Taohu
reached out to hold her hand and her pain echoed in his heart as well and the
agony of lack of self-confidence, lack of self-respect was so severe.
Madam
Mathana glanced over and told her husband, “I’m sorry, for making you suffer
for a long time.
Taohu
thought that might be the reason for Madam Mathana to give up all her clinging
to getting back the old house and allow Grandma to leave peacefully as well as
leave her old house.
‘After
we cleared everything. Khun Uncle quit that factory and quit dealing with Mrs.
Uma.’
What
was lost was great but compared to what was redeemed, it would have been worth
it. At least Madam Mathana had Khun Uncle Saen who had found a way to fulfill
her dream until finally cause owned this detached house. Even if Saen died
before getting coming to live in with his wife in the new house here he is only
in her imagination.
Khun Uncle Notebook told Taohu after moving to
the apartment, Madam Mathana’s husband saw that this housing project was opened
nearby and thought it was interesting. So, he used the accumulated cash to buy
but until the house was finished, they did not have the time to move in and did
not sell or lease the house whose value sprung up because of the part of the
city the house was built on. Most city dwellers prefer condominiums near the
BTS line, so a detached houses in the old city are always preserved. It’s a
good thing that the Madam Mathana family is quite was a bit well off so there
is no problem sinking in such an act of selling the empty house to fund their
lives.
After
her husband died. Madam Mathana became mentally ill three years later and had
to leave her teaching job to stay at home. Khun
Uncle Notebook just said that the things in the house were very sad and had
pity for Madam Mathana. Taohu just listened to the story and felt that probably
because of this Phii Nat, who had just graduated from the Faculty of
Communication Arts, used his father’s other savings to decorate a single house
that his father had bought and moved here instead to get his mother out of the
old atmosphere with a hope that the new house may make her finished, illness
gets better.
From
an old apartment that was simple and solemn according to the personality of the
father. A new detached house was decorated in a loft-style to match the
personality of the child, the deep square-shaped house with the bare walls
showing the mon bricks. Decorated with replica ropes and rubber rings
reminiscent of a sailor, the pantry is decorated with rough polished wood,
above it is an old lampshade, while the sofas placed at the front serve as both
living and living areas. Phii Nat has opted for a large
brown leather sofa in an elegant shape, which will help the mother sit and lie
down comfortably during the day.
Even
Phii Nat’s bedroom itself is loft-style with exposed brick walls painted in
beige while the wood floors are in warm coffee and there is a steel shelf in
the center that separates the bedroom area and the dressing area at the front.
The table and chairs are secondhand items from a restaurant in Chaiyaphum that
was about to change. Phii Nat came across it while investigating a filming
location for one of his own movies so bought it and refurbished it. Mr. Chair adapted to this new address
by trying to change his accent to Centralized Thai even if they weren’t used to
it, the more Mr. Chair tried and failed, the more he lost his
confidence. Fortunately, there is still Miss
Table working to console him that he doesn’t need to be like anyone else.
Khun Uncle Notebook once told Taohu that. Phii
Nat sought out each piece of furniture considering his taste, functionality and
affordability. Because at that time Phii Nat had just graduated, he didn’t have
a job and there were many people inviting him to join or give him part time
jobs to do. However, Phii Nat refused every offer to devote only to decorating
the house, one corner after another and it took six months to complete every
corner.
Taohu
didn’t know as much as Khun Uncle
Notebook because as a white teddy bear, he was moved in before the house
was unfinished and had hardly left Phii Nat’s bedroom all that time. He only
followed the situation with concern as his friends were worried about when a
skilled person like Phii Nat would get the job. Who said Phii Nat was a very
talented person? His owner began to seriously engage in cinematography after
attending university and much before that had been watching movies and reading
scoops differently from books and on the internet and had never been involved
with or made a movie before in middle school like everyone else. For this reason,
after finishing the housework and announcing on Facebook that the following
work will begin and whoever sends all the work and completes it. Phii Nat has
served as director of advertising and presentations for a few companies. Before
deciding to join a famous film production company as a script writer or
screenwriter until now.
“Nong
Nat is the writer, it would be hard to believe if all of a sudden it was said
that this house has ghosts with no back ground stories.” Khun Uncle Notebook
provided further comments to Miss Side Pillow’s suggestion.
Taohu
heard and asked, “Background story?”
“Like
about the dead or some kind of legend.” Mrs.
Duvet added, “Compared to humans, they might be called the thoughts and
memories that haunt that person.”
Suddenly
Taohu recalled a picture as Madam Mathana described the events of her
grandmother’s passing and her old house. The bad memories of that period must
have been like the ghosts that haunted Madam Mathana and never ended, because
of this, humans and furnishings were never the same.
“Ghosts
are nightmares, the furniture’s and objects never really have nightmares and
they never dream at all.”
“True.”
Taohu typed after reflection, “What is the reason behind that though?”
“Because
we only have memory, no experience.” Khun
Uncle Notebook gave the answer, “Humans have more experience and emotions
than ours and their memory is not just stories but full of feelings. A man’s
dream may be a lingering feeling in his heart that he finds a way out by
retelling and compiling stories from that memory.”
“I
want to dream of Phii Nat sometime.”
Miss Side Pillow either didn’t hear Taohu
mutter or didn’t care, she blurted out, “There’s a lot to think about. I really
don’t know if you don’t try, right? For humans, ghosts are irrational things!”
“Hey,
Taohu.” Mrs. Duvet asked the middle
man, “How do we decide?”
“Don’t
forget. If you don’t use this method, you won’t even have the right to dream of
Nong Nat!”
Those
words of Miss Side Pillow help to
end the debate. Taohu nodded, “I’m going to try it tonight!”
However,
his intentions became barren as soon as he saw Phii Nat come home this
afternoon, “Phii Nat, you have returned home early.” His greeting didn’t
match his heart, that wasn’t as worrying as Phii Nat’s expression.
Yesterday,
the owner Taohu was still smiling. Even though Phii Nat was normally a simple
man, today it was evident that there was a gloomy veil over his owner’s eyes.
When Madam Mathana brought Prince Keunchaai over to say hi, “Phii Nat is here,
Phii Nat is here.” Fat Prince Keunchaai tried to scramble the young master
with great difficulty. Phii Nat was not interested in bending down to play or
at least tickling his head like always.
“I
bought some snacks and fruit, so you can eat them with mom.”
“What
about you, Phii Nat?”
“I’m
going to sleep.” After seeing his tired eyes. Taohu could no longer hold back
his owner.
Several
days still passed like that, this time Phii Nat even didn’t leave the house and
didn’t leave the bedroom which prevented Taohu from talking to his friends. The
only thing that comforted him was news from Phii Nat’s Mrs. Mobile phone secretly ringing Khun Telephone and Madam Mathana’s cellphone, recounting that
Taohu’s owner was either obsessed with his laptop screen or laying down on his
bed. He was exhausted and upset.
Among
the laughter of the Auntie and the Prince Dog along with the sound of various
television programs. Taohu sits outside the house under the balcony of Phii
Nat’s room, imagining what things are going on in that room.
Will
Phii Nat know that today a snail secretly ate Auntie’s orange tree leaves?
Three leaves are gone and a new butterfly has wandered into the garden. So, at
the end of the day a mischievous rainbow appeared secretly in the sky. It is
the primary rainbow because it has purple at the bottom. Taohu remembers
because a long time ago, Phii Nat in his school uniform had memorized in a
unique way that the first meme had a horse behind him, indicating that it was
followed by purple at the end.
Phii
Nat might not notice that the sky was dark, it wasn’t because of the late
afternoon but it was overcast in the late afternoon and it was like the feeling
of Taohu waiting for the light from Phii Nat to shine and remove the gloom.
Despite
being very worried. Taohu did the best he could by secretly asking Madam
Mathana’s Khun Telephone to send a
message to Phii Nat.
‘The
movie that came out this afternoon was really fun and I was wondering when the
characters would agree to talk to each other. If people open up to talk, things
are heavy in the chest will be let go / Taohu.’
‘I
don’t know why today’s drama, the hero is sleeping, the hero’s bedroom must be
magical for sure. I want to go in there and don’t want to wake up... Well but
if that room made him dream, I want to try to dream like him/ Taohu.’
‘Did
Phii Nat eat porridge today? I tried to eat bread and warm milk like you, Phii.
It’s delicious but if I eat like this, I think it will be too boring / Taohu.’
There
was no answer at all until even the person who sent the text trying to strike a
conversation started to give up. Late in the new day, he just sent a message
that they hadn’t seen each other for a long time the message show that it was
read and wasn’t replied to, I miss you/Taohu.’
He
put the phone down and didn’t expect Phii Nat to have any reaction. It’s good
to just see that the other messages are being read.
I
don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck. Usually, Phii Nat and Madam Mathana
chat very little and the Auntie is more attached to books and television than
phones and cell phones, so she rarely comes to check what Taohu is doing. When
Taohu lied that Phii Nat needed to concentrate on his work so he kept himself
in his room. the Auntie laughed fondly at her husband and turned his attention
to Prince Keunchaai for fear that he would be lonely if Phii Nat didn’t come to
play with him.
Today
Madam Mathana was not sitting on the sofa reading a book. Taohu thought that he
would take the Prince Dog for a walk around the house like always and didn’t
think that as soon as he put his phone down there would be a shout from the
back of the house.
“Husband!
Husband.”
Normally
Madam Mathana rarely uses loud noises this time, besides being loud one can
also feel fright in her voice. Taohu was about to rush over but just turned
around to find that Phii Nat had already run down the stairs and didn’t know
when his owner left the room. Perhaps Madam Mathana’s voice would have caused
the child to panic as well.
“Mom!
What’s wrong!”
Phii
Nat was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts and looked like he was sleeping. His
hair was messy, his beard grew dull while his eyes were baggy and his cheeks
plummeted. Obviously. Taohu was shocked by Phii Nat’s condition but was not
more shocked than Madam Mathana expression standing beside the Hell Tunnel or
the washing machine behind the house.
Madam
Mathana’s trembling until you see the rims of her skirt flicker, her eyes wide
with tears. Her pink lips trembled until the chin trembled for words, sobbing,
“Where did my husband go? I don’t know where my husband went? child.”
Prince
Keunchaai saw the people of the house running horses in this place so he
followed and after seeing Madam Mathana expression looked wrong he barked
loudly.
Phii
Nat disinterested, gazed at the thing in her mother’s hand, finally grabbed the
washing machine plug from her grip, “Mom… you pulled out the power cord, why
are you crying?”
“I,
I plug in and power on...”
“It’s
usually plugged in!” Phii Nat shouted angrily. Taohu saw that he was upset and
quickly walked to support Madam Mathana, “Calm down, Auntie, why are you
turning on the machine? I just finished washing up just now.”
“My
husband won’t plug it in for me, I can’t do it. He usually has to help me,
where did he go?”
“Will
you stop, mom!”
For
the first time really Phii Nat yelled. Taohu and Madam Mathana even startled in
shock and Prince Keunchaai stopped barking. Madam Mathana who was already
crying tears fell more and more while Phii Nat’s eyes were equally red.
Trying
to suppress his whole-body trembling, Phii Nat gathered his breath, barely
speaking, “Bring mother inside...”
As
if given permission, Taohu’s breath burst out and the Bear, who was ignorant,
quickly supported Madam Mathana, stepping back into the house. In the meantime,
she sobbed loudly and panicked eyes swept the courtyard for a long time and to
mumbling, “Husband...husband...”
Late
midnight, the house has been in gloom since the sound of Phii Nat’s shout.
Instead, there was a loud chatter of the furniture both upstairs and
downstairs, sometimes there was a moving sound indicating that some of them had
moved out of place. Prince Keunchaai, like most of his dogs, heard and
perceived so much that he didn’t think there was anything scary or even
interesting to bark, he’s still sleeping soundly in his place as usual.
There
would only be Taohu, who shuddered around the bed, his gaze on the high ceiling
slowly drifting back to the dim, his heart racing deciding what to do next.
The
guest bedroom is equipped with a small air conditioner. It was now open as
usual but his cold cough didn’t make the Bear happy and he finally turned
around and lay on his side for the thirty-fifth rounds.
In
the darkness, there was some shadow moving on the bed beside Taohu, startling
him. Normally, there is nothing alive in this room! When he gazed again, there
was still silence in the room.
What’s
not resting is that his heart has been unsteady since Phii Nat’s roaring voice
and pained expression!
His
owner is a man of few expressions, with few words it is difficult to know what
his owner is thinking. Even though they have been together for a long time,
there are many things that Taohu has yet to reach or understand Phii Nat.
Since
becoming a human... He has seen more. At the same time, his mind and the mind
seem to become more complex and wandered from the thought that Phii Nat was
just a person. Quietly, Taohu had begun to realize that the owner he loved the
most had something ingrained in his heart that must have been a heavy, thorny
lump and melted away with a bitter cough.
He
reminisced about when Phii Nat cried because of that Japanese picture book but
the events of this period are far from the story.
How
can I help Phii Nat?
I
want Phii Nat to be so happy...
In
the very dark darkness. Taohu felt like hearing someone shouting from the
adjoining room.
“Taohu!
Taohu.”
Because
his mind was floating in a sea of gloom
and wondered before he knew who the voice was actually calling, he seemed to be
upset.
“Taohu.
Nong Nat is crying!”
Miss Side Pillow, that’s her! Although they
don’t like each other very much, most of the furniture still love their owner.
In normal times, Phii Nat might hug Miss
Side Pillow. Sometimes when sleeping but crying, Phii Nat has never hugged
his Taohu so he can only look for Phii Nat so now.
It’s
the millionth round. Taohu was annoyed that someone forced him to transform
into a human like this, a human who can’t understand what normal humans do and
can’t do what Teddy Bear can do.
Normally
Phii Nat is not a shy person. Although sometimes he secretly cries in the
bedroom with him. But that was once in a while, the fact that Phii Nat was
crying tonight means there must be a really big concern.
Taohu
pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, how would Phii Nat be like now and not
have a teddy bear like him? Who can Phii Nat be able to hug?
Aware
again, our Bear found himself stopping in front of the door of Phii Nat’s
room... The conversation and movement of the house were now silent, most of the
belongings were in good hands and one had to be careful. Now they must have
sensed that humans had woken up, the moving objects had to quickly stop, if
given the opportunity, they had to quickly move back into place or pretend to
fall down like a wind pushed them or something.
Taohu
was not in a position to pay attention to those things... He felt that his
forearm was heavy, just wanting to knock on the door but it was full of
difficulty.
I’m
no longer a teddy bear and in the eyes of Phii Nat, I must be a stranger who
suddenly stumbles upon him. If I knock, Phii Nat might.
Knock!
Knock! Knock!
The
concern is beyond description, his fist has hit the tree.
This
is an exciting moment. If I told you that even the air seemed to stop moving,
it wouldn’t be too true. It was both silent and almost gloomy and then there
was no way to see, since the area in front of this bedroom had almost no
opening which would allow the moonlight from outside to pass through,
everything was obscured in total darkness. There was an inaudible gossip from
some things, his owner seemed to continue spreading throughout the house what
the Bear Taohu was going to do.
“Knock
again.”
“You
have to knock again, louder.”
The
sound of encouragement began to rise from this corner, near and far.
Taohu
could only turn around. Even though he couldn’t see anyone, he nodded in
acknowledgment.
He
looked at his clenched fist, the size of a fist under his nose, he couldn’t
even see it, he looked like what was about to happen in the next few minutes...
He didn’t know that if he knocked loud enough to call for Phii Nat to come open
the door and hear what he had to say. What can Phii Nat say? Will all plans be
successful?
However,
before the knock hits the door again, the door opens.
Phii
Nat had kept the curtain open, the light from the moonlight outside dazzled,
contrasting with the shadow of the figure who stood behind the door and pulled
it open.
“What
do you want?”
Taohu
was still unable to see Phii Nat’s face but caught the sound of his owner
muttering a real cry.
“Phii
Nat, are you crying...”
The
other party didn’t answer or deny it and, in this darkness, it was difficult
for Taohu to detect what Phii Nat’s expression or expression was thinking or
feeling.
Before
the courage runs out. Taohu said in a strong voice, “I want to hug you instead
of that doll.”
The
word Can I. became just a whisper of a sound because his feelings forced
Taohu to take his tall figure to embrace Phii Nat all over, hugging him tightly
like Phii Nat used to hug him when his owner had water. eye.
For
a while Phii Nat didn’t say anything, didn’t push back and the stiff body that
seemed more confused or relaxed.
But
it wasn’t long, probably because Taohu was praying that his love would pass
through to Phii Nat’s heart. Just as moonlight flashed through openings and
windows into Phii Nat’s bedroom, his owner slowly raised his hand tightly
wrapped around his back, as if someone had fallen from a skyscraper trying to
hold onto a wall. Phii Nat’s figure that Taohu used to feel very warm, shrunk
in the blink of an eye, as his owner snuggled closer to use his shoulders,
covered his lips and slowly tears poured out until Taohu’s shoulder was soaked.
The
Bear felt that his body was trembling but this time not because of fear or
insecurity, he was trembling because of the vibration of Phii Nat, there was a
muffled crying ... (sounds) ... slipped out. Taohu used one palm to gently
stroke Phii Nat’s neck for comfort.
Slowly
and without a word, he finally lifted Phii Nat off the floor and stepped onto
the bed located at the very end of the room. The sound of the door slowly
closing and the things sighed in relief. It was then that Taohu put Phii Nat on
the bed and cherished himself as he lay down beside each other, hugging Phii
Nat together like that, tight like that. Instead of saying that no matter what
happens. No matter how sad Phii Nat is... He’ll be right here, hugging Phii Nat
like this forever and never letting go.
Phii
Nat huh.
You
don’t have to be smart or strong all the time.
You
don’t have to force a smile if you’re carrying heavy tears inside.
You
don’t have to run if even breathing makes you sick, I’m not human.
You
don’t need any explanation and to make yourself understand what is
incomprehensible. In the darkest building, even without stars, our tears still
shine through, right?
Phii
Nat did you know, the snail that eats only orange leaves makes him happy and
the new butterfly that wanders, in the end, isn’t going anywhere. Not because
he found a garden that he was unfamiliar with and was afraid of. But in fact,
there are still more beautiful and sweeter flowers hidden in the old garden.
Phii Nat, do you remember? Even though the method you used to memorize rainbows
colors was weirder than most people, in the end, Phii Nat passed the exam and
got more points than many people, too.
I’m
right here.
Maybe
things aren’t as bad as Phii Nat felt.
Especially
Phii Nat, you’ve never been bad at least in my eyes.
Phii
Nat’s writhing figure in his embrace made Taohu just now realize that the
person who lacks confidence would suffer like this. The kind of lack of
confidence that Mrs. Uma has caused the Auntie to be or what Mr. Chair worked to adjust from moving
from Isaan region to a metropolitan area and had to face after being moved and
having to try to adjust to this new facility.
But
the Auntie has Khun Uncle and Mr. Chair
has Miss Table.
I
really want to be Khun Uncle or Miss
Table for Phii Nat.
Just
before the break of dawn a miracle appeared at the same time as the last glint
of starlight.
Taohu
only understood for the first time that the day before he hugged Phii Nat, what
was a morning wood... He was amazed that this time it happened to his body like
a curse that made the him feel terrified, yet Phii Nat who was supposed to
scold him for this too did not panic. His owner whispered in a low voice
indicating that he had not slept at all through the night.
“Mom
became afraid of the power plug.”
The
narrative draws the picture in the late afternoon. The picture shows the Auntie
crying for Khun Uncle, holding a washing machine plugged in.
“Sometimes
when I plug it in, the light will come out and mother is afraid. So, the whole
house has to use the power strip and turn on the switch from the rail instead.”
Slowly
speaking, Phii Nat’s voice is still somewhat resonant and has a characteristic
that is like someone gritting their teeth or not opening their lips while
speaking and causing some the person who was listening to become annoyed or not
understand... but Taohu understands and never bothers.
Never
bothered like Khun Uncle Saen was never annoyed when plugging in for the
Auntie.
“What
about you, Phii Nat?”
“Huh?”
“Are
you afraid? if you need someone to plug it in.” (sounds sexually)
The
answer turned into a burst of half-hearted laughter and Taohu didn’t quite
understand why Phii Nat had to be embarrassed... He felt Phii Nat’s face that
was tucked at his side and the crook of his neck was heating up. With an
instinct that Taohu has never learned... He felt himself burning hot as well.
It was then that Phii Nat’s face seemed to have an immense attraction for him
to bend down until he felt the warm air from his nose and his lungs and his
body.
