After packing up his belongings , Tarn walked down fromt he monk's cell , slid his feet into the flipflop and strode to the bus stop in front of the Wat Pho Chai temple. Today was more bustling than ever as the Naga Fireball festival was ongoing. Many people clustered together to make wishes to Luang Phor Sai , which annoyed the boy a little that he had to wade through the large crowd
"Look , Tarn is right there! Hey , Tarn ,t his way!"
There came the sound from Phi Yai , Tarn's closest senior friend. His voice was so loud that it drew all the attention from those nearby. But before long mae Jampee , Yai's mae , twisted his ear causing Phi Yai to groan from the pain. Tarn was amused by Phi Yai's posture before running towards the brother's family standing under the tree so fast that he was unaware of a person standing there
THUD!
SWOOSH!
Tarn stumped and turned to the boy whom he had hit. The young stranger picked up lotuses scattering on the floor and faced up to Tarn with dissatisfaction. That kid... Was the same size as him. But just when Tarn approaching the boy his age , Phi Yai's hand grabbed him by the collar
"Where are you going , tarn? I'm here this way."325Please respect copyright.PENANAeIjj5gwM8i
"I bumped into a boy..."
The boy still cast a displeased glance at him. He dressed in sumptuous clothing , a white t shirt and knee length black trousers , with a face that could anticipate a gorgeous young man when growing up
They stared at each other in the ey for a while. The disapproval look from the boy's side and the bewildered look from Tarn. Tarn wasn't so sure about the reason behind this stare. His head went completely blank , yet his heart pounded like a drum
"Khun No!"
That call caused that boy to swivel and leave. Tarn was about to follow him , but he as halted by Yai
"Who?"
Yai looked left and right but couldn't see any youngsters around here , only elderly people all over the place. Tarn wriggled loose from Yai and tried to chase the young stranger , but Yai didn't let him go. With the significant different in size , between the phi and nong , Tarn was overpowered by Yai's strength and couldn't break free from the tight grip. Left with no trace , that mysterious boy completely disappeared into the crowd. Tarn sighed in nuisance
"Phi Yai! I lost him now , you see?"325Please respect copyright.PENANA6y6qAJnuJ4
"Psst , forget about him already. Mae is calling now. We have to pick up other relatives and bring them to our house."
Tarn frowned... That kid might have been the one to whom Tarn needed to give Phra Rod Amulet...Not to mention that...his face was very familiar , but Tarn couldn't recall where they had met before
"Go!"
Yai rushed and wrapped his arm around Tarn's neck to make him follow. Tarn looked back in the direction that kid from nowhere had vanished. His heart sank to think he wouldn't see the young stranger again.
Why? That's weird...
Ban Nampee , Rattanawapi District
Tarn had visited Phi Yai's house a few times before. This was his third time here. Mae Jampee , Phi Yai mother , cherished Tarn so dearly and said that Yai could get into grade ten thanks to Tarn , Tarn giggled in satisfaction at being mae Jampee's favroite child , while Yai frowned displeasedly
Even though he sucked at studying , Yai was sure his sports skills were second to none. The big boy grumbled to himself
"Relax and make yourself at home here. Look at you , sweetie , even in shabby clothes , you're still so cute and handsome"
Not only complimenting , but Jampee also caressed Tarn's cheek with adore. Tarn responded to her with a sweet , alluring smile even broader , just in case he could have more treats every day during his stay
GIGGLE
THUD!
"Ouch!"
The slam from the big boy was so hard that it shook him to the brain
"Stop making wide eyed , pleading face shit to my mae. So frustrating!"325Please respect copyright.PENANATUVF0ULDLJ
"Yai! Why did you hit him? What if Luang Phor knew?"325Please respect copyright.PENANAqCBgBWVNlE
"Mae! You keep flattering him and taking his side in front of me. It annoys me."
If only Yai knew , he wouldn't have invited the little boy here. Tarn grinned in pleasure while twitching his eyebrows to taunt the big boy behind Jampee's back
"here he goes again , mae! He's mocking me!"
Jampee glanced at Tarn , the little boy suddenly switched his expression to the woeful , pitiable one
"I don't see your nong do anything. Come right here , bad kid!"325Please respect copyright.PENANAEqk4YvZz85
"Ouch! Mae! Don't hit me. How dare you , Tarn! You little pain , i'll kick you ass."325Please respect copyright.PENANAYIBVBYHom8
"Hahahaha!"
Tarn laughed light heartedly and escaped to the door way with Yai cahsing after him Jampee's voice echoed from behind to tell her kids to not come back later than nine and take care of each other , too. Yai's house was close to the Naga fireball , sight seeing spot. They playfully kicked each other's butt for a few moment until they reached the sigh seeing spot
"I'm exhausted now. Let's grab some grub."325Please respect copyright.PENANA52sHirzZoj
"Um. But you pay for my meal."325Please respect copyright.PENANASi3pbi2v0i
"Screw you! Why it has to be me every time!"325Please respect copyright.PENANAnOMsH9iwsH
"You're older than me. Phi must be generous."325Please respect copyright.PENANAFgAWO4bj43
"Okay , okay."
Tarn smirked and followed Yai to the smoothie cart , ordering smoothies for both of them before searching for a perfect spot with the best view. Yai's family wasn't orifinally from Nong Kai.
According to Yai , they had relocated from the south to accompany his pho , who had found his career here. Just like Chiang Mai was Tarn's family place of origin. No to be precise , Luang Phor was a half Nong Kai native.
At first , his parents just wanted to seek blessings to make wishes from the local monks. However , things took turns when his mother unexpectedly went into labor and gave birth to him in Nong Kai , so they had to stay a little longer. But when they decided to return to Chiang Main , something came up , and ended up with Tarn and Luang Phor had settled down here ever since
