Yai shook his head. He knew that Tarn had special feelings for Phaya , even though Yai didn't know why , but it seemed that his nong's feelings had ignited after he saved Phaya from drowning...
Yai had thought Tarn's feeling was only superficial and shallow , but maybe he had to think twice
Phaya's eyes opened wide in disbelief. The thing Tarn had told him was true?
"Are you for real?" Phaya sat up with his back leaning on the wall303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxNMy569iy
Tarn nodded303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkRCvRgUrb
"Yeah. I've had it since i was a kid. If not , how could i save you from the Mekong river."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc60E47vdQ
"It might be just a coincidence."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fsH5zrwcR
"There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world man."
The accurate clairvoyance that he possessed , Luang Pu said it was from the karma of his past life. Phaya wore a thoughtful expression. Right... Perhaps the time that he drowned was also included. It wasn't an accident because someone dragged him down the river , indeed
"Can you see the ghost?"303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWhZLocxhn
Tarn shook his head "Nope and no thanks. I'm scared."
Despite living as a temple boy since child hood , seeing ghost remained unfamiliar to him and those who possessed this ability wouldn't enjoy owning it much , either
A hint of reluctant expression appeared on Phaya's face. He was still uncertain if he should tell Tarn. However , tarn and nong khai local , he may have heard about it
"Actually , the day that i fell into the Mekong , it wasn't an accident."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRL7usxzPi
"What?"303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCfVhl6Qh4
"There was someone dragging me down."
Tarn put on a puzzling expression
"But at the time i saved you that day , i saw no one."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwaLxLrNqo
"I can swim , but i couldn't get myself back up as there was something bound to my ankles."Said Phaya with a firm voice
Tarn frowned , but he absolutely couldn't see anything. But after looking at Phaya's face in searching for reaffirmation , Tarn was too afraid to let the word escape his mouth. That firm , validating expression caused Tarn to pay attention to every word Phaya would tell
"Before you came and saved me. I had seen... A monster"303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0TVZAvt1P
"A monster?"303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy7OLRPJ3y
"A snake...With a crest...And red eyes..."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dmsnAxYGe
"A Naga?"
You can't be serious. Tarn thought that it might have been just Phaya's hallucination. However , as he caught a glimpse of Phaya's solemn expression , he began to beleive that Phaya might have truly seen it. According to Luang Phor , there were indeed sacred creatures in the Mekong river.
Moreover , as residents of Nong Khai , we held a steadfast belief in the myth of Naga , so this wasn't something implausible. Phaya was fortunate enough to witness it , so wasn't it considered an auspicious event?
"If that thing really was a Naga , you should be happy to witness him. He may make his presence for a blessing."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJifJiIRmR
"No! Not for a blessing..."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLMtMFsWdR
"..."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8b3Rolfdm
"He came to take my life."
Phaya would have met certain death if it hadn't been for Tarn's timely arrival. He was acutely aware of this fact. It came for his every life , seeking to eliminate him like a deadly menace echoing in his sleep. But it might have been because it couldn't harm him directly , so it relentlessly haunted him like this!
"I'm not expert on a thing like this. But i believe if you plea for forgiveness , he might forgive you. You may have profaned him in some way."
"I have done everything..."
His grandmother brought him to make merit in every of Naga realms , especially in Nong Khai. He had been everywhere , Kham Chanod Temple , Muschalinda Lake , Jao Poo Phaya Sri Suddho at Asia Peak , Tham Din Phaing Cave , Thai Temple , Pho Chai Temple , and also the Naga in White Elephant Head statue , but that dream never seemed to disappear
Instead , new blurry events came to interfere even more , the vague , unclear ones , with a hazy voice he couldn't interpret. They were accompanied by the image of the Naga from the moment he had drowned in the Mekong river. With the recent revelation that something the monster longed to reclaim was a woman. But which woman? He had never stolen any woman from anyone , so which woman could he ever possess...?
Noticing Phaya cast his fatigue mixed with his perplexity stirred Tarn's heart even more. Tarn gently stretched out the hand and gripped Phaya's knee
"How about...When the training is over , i'll take you to meet Luang Pu. Maybe Luang Pu could help you out of this nightmare."
Phaya lifted his gaze to Tarn's face. With those round , crystal clear eyes and a wide beam , not even mentioning the solution Tarn gave him , those all inexplicably warmed Phaya's heart. If it wasn't Tarn , They would have told him to have his head examined. Phaya reached out to that hand on his knee , squeezed it softly and said a word that resonated from the bottom of his mind
"Thank you. There seems to be only you who understand me."
Tarn's heart swelled as he smiled broadly with contentment. He nodded in acknowledgment to Phaya , patted that shoulder to comfort the worried soul and put Phaya at ease...
"They touch each other' hand too!"
Singh blurted out after stumbling on it causing everyone to swoop that way
"Phi Yai... Look at Tarn's face. How merry it is."303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJLuuWeMQi
"Let him be..." Do it as you please. Go ahead. Knock yourself out , and let me sleep303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWks7diPUu0
"Singh , stop prying on them. Go to sleep!" Chart hissed to Singh , who wanted to have his participation in everything303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XPYV5qKUk
"Yes...Yes." Singh swiftly collapsed on his bed
Khem squinted his eyes at Chart and Singh . Since the day they were mended , they seemed to take care of each other pretty well, too... Hmm? Or it might have been something undercover OF DARK NESS
