I'm walking to the nearest restaurant where Khim and I will meet, Khim said even though I should wear something simple, especially since it's just a simple dinner.

Yim didn't come because mom told him to finish something, I prayed that the two of them wouldn't come because I didn't know how to act in front of them.

I saw the restaurant, I thought it was just a simple restaurant but it turns out there is also a mini bar upstairs, I entered and approached a woman.

Good evening. Can I ask if Ms. Khim has a reservation?I told the waitress here.

Follow me, sir; I nodded and followed her, We went up to the second floor, and there I saw my friends, but I felt sighed of relief when I didn't see Dale and Sunny.

You're finally here, Why did it take you so long? That's what Khim says to me after I arrive at the table.

Good evening, everyone; I greeted them, Nat stood up and turned me around.

That's enough Nat; Khim said to him.

What I see now is true, right? Is this really kale? I smiled at him.

You still haven't changed Nattasitt; I said his eyes widened and immediately hugged me.

I miss you, Kale. It's really you, "he told me.

How are you, Nat? I asked when he pulled away from me, He frowned and glared at me.

I'm still mad at you, I haven't gotten over the fact that you were a Perdpiriyawong and then the next day you left the country, Am I really your friend; He said sullenly, I held his arm and smiled a little.

I'm sorry Nat, There wasn't enough time at that time; He smiled and pulled me next to him, Khim just shook her head because of what Nat did.

Hello everyone; My world stopped when I heard his voice, I thought he's not coming, I- I thought....... He's not coming here tonight.

We're complete just now it happened again that we are whole after five years; Nat said, "I didn't turn around even though I felt both of them staring at me."

Sit down, Dale, Sunny; Khim said in front of me, I don't know why I was tortured by fate because he was right next to me.

Good evening Kale; Sunny said.

Good evening; I greeted her too, I don't want to be rude. After all, she's my friend. This seating arrangement was totally awkward.

I thought he would come with you? Khim asked me, I looked at her for a moment.

Mom is making him do something so he can't be with us tonight. He said he's sorry; Khim just nodded and called a waitress.

How are you, Kale? You did not return to the country for five years; Max said suddenly.

I'm okay, I was just doing a lot, so it was hard for me to come back; I told him.

Why did you come back? I don't know, but I was hurt by the coldness of Dale's voice as he asked me that word.

Dale; Sunny called him, I didn't answer because I didn't know how to answer him, I couldn't tell him that it was because of him that I came back.

I just asked him, He has been gone for five years, so why did he come back? "He said firmly." He was looking at me, but I was only looking at Khim.

Work; I said simply and took a glass and filled it with wine.

Are you here for good kale? Net asked me.

I'm not sure, Mom wants us to manage the company here, but I can't really decide, especially the California branch need my help more, so I don't know yet; I answered Net's question.

You have a lot of business, and I read in the news that you got married. Where is your husband? "I smiled a little at Net.

Busy; I answered, "I could hardly move because he was right next to me, I don't know, but it hurt to see him being treated by someone else."

Tsk; I heard Dale's voice, and he drank his wine. The food arrived immediately, and I grabbed some.

I really can't believe how fast time goes by, Back then we were just students but now we're all working, Khim became a model, Dale and Sunny are in the same business as Max, Net and I became designers, Time flies do fast, if we think about it all seems like everything happens just yesterday; Nat said, He's right, everything just happened so fast.

You both became designers, but you don't want to make dresses for me, "Kim said.

Think about it, Khimy, how can we give you a dress if your house is almost full of dresses? "Nat answered her.

That's normal, I'm a model, and I don't wear much of that, "Khim said.

Let's go shopping tomorrow; Khim's smile grew because of what I said.

Are you not busy? I shook my head.

Glad Kale is back; Nat said to me, "Before I could speak, Dale spoke first."

There is nothing to be happy about him coming back, He should have been removed from our group a long time ago because he left us a long time ago too; I don't know but I felt angry because of what he said, I faced him and I saw his emotionless face.

Do you have a problem with me? If you have something to say tell me face to face; I boldly told him, I know that I have a fault but is it right for him to throw this tantrum especially now in front of my friend.

If you have something to say, tell me, Don't act like a child who throws trantum whenever he wants; I told him, Khim held my hand, but I was just looking at Dale.

Go away, Go away and never come back; My tongue retracted because of what he said, He wants me out of his life, My chest tightened at that fact, I stopped myself from crying in front of him.

My world stopped because of the words he said, It hurts, It hurts so much to hear those words from him because I know that's what he really feels, Khim also stopped because of what Dale said.

It's like the pain I felt before is back, but the difference it that today was way more painful than before.

Who are you? What right do you have to expel me and why I'm going to follow you? Why do I have to leave this group and the country? you have no right to tell me any of that; I did my best to look brave in front of him even though tears are forming in my eyes.

Why? You even asked why, You already know the answer, I don't want someone like you in this group, I want to tell you that I am not happy to see you here and anywhere else in this country; My throat was dry because what he said.

I hope you don't come back, I hope you never show up to us again, We don't need you and I don't need you; He shouted, I closed my eyes and nodded, I took my bag and phone from the table, I handed Khim the card and looked at him again.

I'm sorry for the trouble, If that's what you want, I won't show up Infront or you again, From now on I don't know you anymore, From now on you'll be gone from my life, I hope you'll be happy; Before my tears completely fell I immediately turned around and went downstairs until I got out of this restaurant, My hand was shaking as I took the car key. He wants me out of his life, Even if it hurts, I will do it. I immediately got into the car and left the place. It hurt. It hurt so much to hear that word, especially coming from him.

Arghggghhhhhhh....... !!!! Okay, I'm leaving your life, are you happy now..... I screamed as I hit the steering wheel of my car, It's all my fault, but why do you have to hurt me like this, Why Dale....

Beeeeeeeppppppppppp........... It was too late when I saw the van coming, I held my chest and closed my eyes. Everything is my fault, but why do you have to hurt me like this, Dale?

( KHIM POV )

I stood up angrily and grabbed Dale by the collar.

What right do you have to tell him that, Who are you in his life to say those hurtful words, Yes, he hurt you but you are a selfish person, At that time you also left him because of business, You left him and he understood you back then but now you talk like everything is his fault, If you don't want to be his friend then I want to be, I want him to be my friend instead of someone like you, You don't know what he went through Dale, You're not young enough to throw Trantum like this, You have a wife and a child but you're still acted like a child, Did you know I'm thankful Kale didn't marry you because you're a useless person. You're nothing without your parents, Do you hear me? You're nothing? "I shouted at him and pushed him back to his seat. I clenched my fist angrily. How could he say those words, He knows nothing about Kale's suffering.

Khim, please stop; Sunny said, "I angry look at Dale."

From now on, I don't want to be your friend anymore, I don't need a person like you either; I said firmly and took my bag.

Khim, wait; I heard Nat call, but I ignored him and left the restaurant, I called Yim's phone since I have his number already.

Hello Khim? He answered the call immediately.

Call Kale where he is, I think he needs you right now, Yim. He's hurt, and I know everything happens tonight was killing him inside and out; I told him.

Okay; He immediately hung up on me and I took a deep breath, If I know that their arrival will hurt you Kale, I shouldn't let them eat with us, Dale's words were below the belt so I knew that Kale was hurt so much right now.

Sorry Kale, if I had known that this would happen, I would not have let them go with us. I took a deep breath and left the place immediately.
