The second and final day of exam.
The atmosphere is still similar to the first day. Plus, Some student already have a plan after the exam.
The Sutimat’s sibling is with Chompoo as usual.
“Wanna hang out after exam?”
Chompoo asked. Beam told her she’ll go with her classmate, As for Boom he said he might just stay home.
”Why not go with P’Tar?”
“Nah, I don’t want to interrupt I’Poo”
“Good for you, buddy”
Chompoo and Boom walk to their line. But they accidently met up with Lifa.
“Hey there, Lifa”
“Hey”
“Why don’t you go to the line?”
“I can’t find it, There’s a lot of people here”
Lifa spoke while turn to look at the army of a thousand of student. Even for a long-timer can easily get lost if they aren’t focus for a bit.
“Follow me”
“O…K”
“How can you possibly find our line?”
“I’m not that forgetful, you idiot. I can now remember all of our classmate”
“Holy shit, that’s dope”
Boom lead the way, followed by Chompoo and Lifa. The 3 of them walked through the crowd. Which Boom had a funny thought that if someone throw a bomb here, He would get a lot of kills.
Jokes aside, Now the 3 of them has arrived at line of class 4/7.
After the ceremony, It’s time for an exam.
Luckily there’s still some time left to prepare. Most of the student bring out their book to read one final time before the exam. Including Lifa.
“What’re you reading?” Asked Boom.
“Science, I’m not so good at this subject so I need to read it a lot”
“You aiming be a top dog?”
Boom joking around while bring out a manga to read. But Lifa made a dull expression and replied ‘Not just aiming, But I’ll definitely be there’.
Although he still wondering why Lifa make that kind of expression. But Boom don’t want to dig to deep into that. So, he chose to remain silent.
When it’s time for an exam, Everyone start to walking into the examination room in unison.
First subject is Science. Which is really hard but Boom did his best.
The next subject is Music/Art/Dance. These 3 subject were combined to be done in same session.
“O…K”
During lunch break, Boom along Tar and Chompoo go outside to find something to eat because there were too many people in the school cafeteria.
The 3 of them stop at Egg Noodle stall. While they eating comfortably. Boom phone has ringing.
When he check it, it was Beam who texted him.
‘What?’ Boom reply.
‘P’Lifa asked me if you want to go anywhere. If you finished the exam’ Beam answered.
‘No, I’ll go home. Why?’
‘She said she want to treat you a Moo kratha***’
***Thai barbeque buffet
‘For real?’
‘Yeah, At uncle Tom place’.
At first, Boom didn’t want to go. But as soon as he heard a word treat, He immediately agree to go.
‘Can I’Tar and I’Poo come too?’
‘She said she want you to come alone’
Huh? Alone? That mean Lifa want to eat moo kratha with him? Although he secretly a little worried. But Boom didn’t had moo kratha for a while. It won’t hurt to go for a bit.
“What’s wrong, I’Boom?”
“Nothing. The game server just go under maintenance”
Boom answered while slurping his soup. The reason he’s lying because he don’t want to get mock by Tar.
After lunch, It’s now a time for an afternoon exam.
Everything seems to be normal. Although the exam give everyone a little bit of headaches but overall it was not a problem.
Boom walked out from the examination room to get some fresh air. Outside, there’s a lot of student who celebrating and those who admit their defeat to the test.
“Boom”
The sudden calls from Lifa made everyone around him whether a boys or girls turn and look at him with piercing eyes.
“What?” Boom try to act calm as much as possible.
“See you at the restaurant”
That word made a gossip erupted. Then Lifa just walked away. Tar rushed to help Boom who are not good at dealing with this type of situation.
Both of them head to a garden behind a school nurse office for Boom to catch a breath.
“What in the actual fuck just happened? What did Lifa say to you?”
“Nothing…”
“Nothing, My ass. If not, then why the people around you just start gossiping?”
Tar put a pressure on Boom to make him spill the beans. Tar know that if Boom continue to be like this, he would be in trouble.
“Lifa just invited me to eat moo kratha with her, that’s it”
“…Which restaurant?”
“Uncle Tom restaurant”
“Holy shit! That’s a fucking big deal!”
“Why?”
Boom tilt his head out of curiosity. Tar then proceed to grab both of his shoulder and stare him right into the eyes.
“Have you heard about the legend of that place?”
“No…”
“Damn it…There’s a legend that if someone of the opposite sex invite you to that restaurant alone at evening and go sit at the table number 7…”
“What a long story”
“Both of them will ended up as a couple!”
“…..What?”
“What, My ass! Maybe the daughter of Mr.Dome is in love with you!”
‘Oh shit oh shit’ Tar is very exciting. But Boom seems really care that much other than free food.
Boom did not believe in that kind of stuff to begin with. Plus, he just know Lifa for a short time. She definitely wouldn’t do something like that.
“But you seems to believe in luck while summoning on a gacha banner. It’s the same thing!”
When he get that attitude from Tar. That just left Boom speechless.
“Whatever, I’m leaving”
“Do your best there buddy”
“Best? Shut yo ass up, man”
Boom walked away while reply to Tar’s word.
The moo kratha restaurant is not that far from school if travel via a vehicle. But you still can go by foot, it just feel a little far away.
After parking his bike. Boom stood and wait in front of the restaurant because he’s not brave enough to go alone.
“Boom”
A voice of a familiar girl calls him. When he turned to look, he saw Lifa in a school uniform that when he look closely, it matched her very well. It also attracts the eyes of those around very well.
“Won’t you go in?”
“…I was waiting for you”
“Well then, Let’s just get in”
Both of them walk into the restaurant, And somehow the waiter has led them to the table number 7.
(What the fuck?)
He look at Lifa, She’s still calm. Looks like she don’t know anything about the legend at all. Boom himself didn’t want to think too much about it, So he just let it pass.
The people are staring at them with curiosity. But Lifa didn’t seem to care but Boom isn’t good with this type of situation.
“So…Why you invited me?”
After sitting down, Boom immediately ask the point of this meeting.
“Nothing…Just want to thanks you for saving Nelly”
Nelly? Oh, That cat. It’s been some time since it happened. Boom think there’s no need to went this far just to thanks him. But he didn’t say any of that because he just want to get free food.
“That’s Ok, It just a single cat”
“….Yeah”
Lifa answered shortly. Boom immediately realized that he accidentally said something that should not have been said.
“That…It’s not just a cat, right?”
“Maybe”
She answered and walked over to the buffet. Boom still curious about that Lifa was talking about just now, So he decided to light the grill and wait for her to comeback.
Shortly after, Lifa returned with a pork sliced and some vegetable. She put it down and spread the pork lard on the stove.
“Boom, Can I ask you something?”
“Go ahead”
“What do you think of Nelly as a cat?”
What the heck is this question? Although Boom want to know why she asked. But he need to answered her question first.
“Well…She’s a good cat. Can easily get along with stranger. She maybe on guard when I’m wearing my helmet. But when I removed it, She just act normally”
“Um…She keeps asking to see you”
“For real? You should let her visit me sometimes”
“The problem is she didn’t like to go outside”
“….So I have to pay her a visit-”
Suddenly, Boom realize something.
If Nelly hate to go outside, Then why she was in the forest in the rain that day?
“What happened in your house that day?”
“……….”
Lifa lowered her head and placed a hand on her forehead. As if she still suffered from a painful memory.
“Yo yo, Lifa?”
He heard a soft sobbing sound from her. Boom try his best to calm her down even though it’s not something he’s good at it.
“Sorry”
She said with tears, and picked up a glass of water and drink it.
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. Just don’t forced yourself”
Boom said while gently pat her head. Lifa slowly regained her consciousness and used her delicate hands to hold Boom’s hand.
“I’m not forcing myself. I just don’t know how to tell you”
“C’mon, it’s ok. If you have something you’re uncomfortable with, Just tell me”
Those gentle words caused a smile to appear on her face.
“Thank you, I’ll definitely tell you someday”
“Until that time, I’ll try my best to squeeze it out from you”
Finished talking, Boom patted Lifa’s head lightly twice before getting up and get more food.
“….The hell just happened?”
5 tables away from them. Beam and Chompoo who secretly followed, muttered like that. They both could clearly see their movement and expressions. But the only problem is the sound can’t be heard clearly because it is far away, plus there are other noise interfering.
“Did she got rejected?” Beam asked.
“I don’t think so. If she really got rejected, She wouldn’t happily smile like that”
“You’re right. Damn, I forgot to put a listening device on him”
“You don’t have to go that far, Y’know?”
2 girls continue their spying while eating their moo kratha for the sake of blending.
A while has passed. Boom returned with a fruit plate and plate full of seafood.
“You like watermelon right?”
“huh?...How did you know?”
“I saw you buy this everyday, that’s it”
“…..Stalker”
“Stalker, my ass. You want it or now?”
“I want it”
Lifa quickly grab a watermelon plate and eat it gratefully.
And both of them continue to eat their moo kratha. Which Boom eat it with joy because it’s a free gift from Lifa.
