Chapter 4 – Pink Milk Tea

“Here you go!” someone handed a color pink drink to me from my back while I was spacing out and listening to Roses.

“Oh Hi (Greeted him) P’Thunder right?” as asked to double check

“Yes! Thunder Phelng, Senior from faculty of music” he extended his hand and handed the drink “I saw you earlier and you were spacing out. I think you need some sugar to hype up!” he said

“Well -- I will not say no to this drink. But. I gotta pay you back somehow at some point.” I said

“I preferred a home cooked meal” he said in a joking manner and just taped my shoulder and left

The magical pink milk teak helped me survived the rest of the school day. We went over discussions after discussions and – more discussions.

I was hoping for this kind of busy environment as it helps me isolate some unwanted emotions and memories.

Weeks went by and I was fully immersed with the new Uni and country where I am. I get to see my Mom in a video call from time to time.

I still open some of the letters because my emotions and past can’t be isolated for too long. Sometimes, in my dreams I get to see all of my hidden sorrows and bad memories from the past.

One weekend afternoon…

“They loved your performance earlier and would like to invite the two of you for the upcoming events”

One day they all love seeing me perform. They asked for songs and New and I will always sing them in duet. He is so good, he can always hit the right chords and blend with my voice right away.

But after that day, people looked at me strangely. They all blamed me for everything that happened.

I never bothered to ask for help nor explain myself as I know people will always believe the truth that they already have in mind.

Thunder’s POV

I never thought I’d be living in the Uni dormitory someday. Especially now that I am already a Senior student. Until driving back and forth from home to Uni became a pain in the @ss. Too much workloads that sometimes requires me to stay in the Uni really late and I gotta drive for almost an hour.

“Dad! I’d be returning to my room now and check some stuff – Later then!”

I only have my dad with me now and a younger sister. My mom passed when I was in Junior High, that’s one of the reasons why I can’t stay in the Uni as well. I want to help my dad look after my sister so he can focus in our business and have his personal life as well.

“What the Faq!” who the hell would be brave enough to leave an open door like this? I said on top of my head as I noticed an open door while returning to my room.

“Hello!” I tried to call out the owner – “Ahmm hello! Anyone here!?” I took a peek a bit coz no one’s answering. I was about to go to the security desk and report it when I heard a soft voice coming from the room asking for help…

New help!

Please stay – don’t go away!

I think that’s what I heard. (Thunder this is not right, you idiot!!) I went inside to check. I saw a familiar face sleeping on the bed, dreaming and crying for help. I just can’t understand his words now but I think I need to wake him up.

“Paige! Paige! – wake up” I held him in my arms and supported his head. Tapping his face to wake him up.

He woke up with a sad look on his eyes. That was the saddest eyes I have ever seen, I held him close and told him everything is okay…

His voice sounded really dry that’s why I offered him the pink milk tea I bought from the Uni cafeteria.
