Sarawat's POV
3 years later.......
Today has marked 1,460 days without seeing Tine. Three years has passed and I am now 24 years old. Two years ago I went off the deep-end and messed up my life, I ruined others lives without a care. I didn't care about the consequences of my actions. At my lowest point, Khai saw me getting jumped by a couple of men at the alley side of a old club. I was drunk as day after I hooked up with a girl.

They almost beat me to death and I almost didn't make it. Khai recused me in time with the cops dragging all those bad men away from me. I was sent to the hospital after and I recovered in two and a half weeks. Khai stayed with me the whole time that night and visited me from time to time.

He gave me an important talk to stop and I finally was sober enough to listen. I reflected and eventually realized the pain and trouble I've caused. My life was at the peak of death if I didn't stop. In the end, Khai was the only friend I had left. Tharn left me and we stop being best friends. I really hurt him and I guess he doesn't want me to be in his life anymore.

I still wish I can get the chance to apologize to him. He always stood by me and things was rough and hard and I betrayed him. I hurt my best friend.

I was getting off work and I hop into my taxi as I heard my phone ringing. Khai is calling me and I answered him.

"Hello." I spoke.

"Are you at work?" He asked me.

"I'm in a taxi heading home now. Why?" I questioned him.

"I'm driving by your place. We need to chat for a bit." He told me.

"Well I'm starving so I hope you brought food." I told him.

"You're so pushy and I have food. I never come to your house empty handed." He tells me.

"I'll be home soon." I told him lastly as I hang up on him.

I arrived at home and as soon as I opened my door, Khai came as well with two bags of food. I helped him and invited him in. We took a seat together and started eating right away.

"Okay, Wat I got a huge call from a big time producer and he wants me and Third to work with him on a movie." Khai admitted.

"Really? Did you accept it?" I questioned him.

"Not yet. Me and Third are still deciding but he gave us three plane tickets if we change our minds."Khai pulls out the airline plane tickets.

"Cool so where is the movie being filmed?" I questioned him.

"Wrong again. It's in America. Its filmed in America first then in Thailand. We will be there for 2 months." He told me.

"That sounds great but why do you have an extra ticket if it's just you and Third?" I asked him before I take a spoon full of my rice.

"I.....wanted to invite you with me. Take the opportunity to relax and travel." Khai admitted to me.

"I don't know if I want to go Khai. I'm happy and I want to support you but I don't know what I would do in America. I feel like I will just be in the way." I tell him.

"Nonsense. I really want my best friend to be there with me. You and Third by my side. Will you please go? For me?" Khai shows me his begging eyes.

I don't travel and leave home for a long time. If I go, that's two months away from work. I mean sure I can take a leave whenever I want but I'm just not prepared for a travel. America is huge and I have to exchange a lot of currency.

"I'm not ready to travel. I need new clothes, I don't have a lot of money and I'm not use to the English Language." I admit to him.

"Wat that's bullshit. You speak fluent English and Clothes? You have a ton and money? Not an issue. We have hotels that are already booked and payed by the producer and the team. So you would barley have to bring anything." He tells me.

I sigh of disappointment that Khai is making this decision hard for me to refuse. He really wants me to go but I just don't want to.

"Fine, I'll go to America with you. Give me some time to prepare and I'll reach back to you." I tell him and Khai gave me a big smile.

"Yes! I'm so glad you decided to come Wat." Khai said as he stands up from the table. He takes his phone out.

"Where are you going?" I questioned him.

"To call that producer. I'm accepting his offer." Khai said as he walked out to make that call.

I shake my head and finish eating my dinner.

**********
It's been a week since I agreed to go to America with Khai and Third. We are just at the airport together and honestly I'm sensing a lot of deja vu right now. At my job, I asked for a two month leave and my boss kindly let me go.

We just by pass security and we were heading to the gate where we hand in our passports and abort on the plane. From time to time I've noticed and took a glance at Third and Khai holding hands while they roll their suitcases together.

The two been best friends for years and finally decided to be boyfriends. And now they are going to be working on a movie together. I'm happy for them. I'm just glad one of us is happy. Love is such a beautiful thing when you have it but when it's gone, it sucks.

We made it to the gate and hand in our passport successfully as Khai, Third, and I abort on the plane. We sat successfully and buckle ourselves in the seat belt safely.

"I need everyone on the plane to have their phones on Airplane mode please!" The flight attendants told all of us.

"Hi, you're really handsome. Can I have your line once we get off the plane?" The pretty young girl beside me asked. She smiles at me and hopes that I will say yes.

Usually I would but I decided to not go back to my player ways anymore.

"I'm sorry but I'm reserved." I reject her nicely.

"Oh, I didn't know you had a girlfriend already." She said sounding a bit embarrassed and disappointed.

"I don't have a girlfriend. I'm just reserved." I told her once more.

I have no room or space in my heart for anyone else. My heart has already been reserved for a long time. Even if Tine and I are not together. During my recovery, my feelings for him didn't change. He's still the love of my life. For the past year, I've told everyone who hit on me that I am reserved.

After a nineteen hour flight, we finally landed to our destination.

"Everyone please stay in your seats while the plane is about to land. We are officially and safely in New York." The pilot told us.

*********
New York is not what I expected. The place is full of people and the streets and the city is so crowded. Cars are practically on the street and people dressed up in all types of color. The weather is cold so everyone is wearing huge jackets. I don't know what I was expecting really.

I'm so glad we have Third because he is good at directions. Unlike Khai's, Third English is pretty good. We headed to our hotel room and once we opened it, we saw two large beds.

"It looks like you're sleeping with me Third." Khai swiftly wrapped his arm around him.

"Says who? What if Wat let me sleep with him?" Third questioned Khai.

"Now why would you want to sleep with Wat when you can sleep with your boyfriend?" Khai questioned back.

"Because you can't be trusted. You might do something to me in my sleep."Third said as he walked in and placed his suitcase on the floor.

I walked in as I sat down on the bed. I took my phone out and realized that the time is wrong. I need to set it up to New York Times.

"Ai Wat, we are going out to eat. Are you hungry?" Khai asked me and I stood up from the bed.

"They have any Thai restaurants here?" I questioned him.

"Yep. There is this one close by called Thai Villa. They say it's super good." Third tells me as he reads his phone.

"Can we go right now? I'm so hungry." Khai whined a.

"You're such a baby but let me call a taxi first." Third said as he began to call a taxi for us.

The city was getting darker but it was still day time. Hunger was crying out to me to eat and I am dying for some food. Airplane food is not the best food to eat. I'm glad their is a Thai restaurant in New York otherwise, foods that I have never tried before would be a little terrifying. I never tried food before in America.

We found the restaurant and I followed Khai and Third. As I was going though the entrance door, my arm bumped into someone hard and my wallet and phone fell.

"I'm sorry." The person that bumped into crotched down to help me pick up my stuff.

I go down on my knees as well because their stuff fell as well. As we were about to exchange back our stuff, I looked up and saw it was actually Tine.

My heart fluttered and my mind went blank. Everything part of my body was trying to process everything. Was this really him? Is Tine really in front of me?

"T-Tine." I finally spoke up. Tine's eyes widened as he stood up to his feet so fast.

"I'm sorry sir. Here are your things." He said as Tine handed me my wallet and phone.

"Why are you calling me sir? You're acting like we don't know each other." I questioned him. Tine froze as he doesn't know what else to say.

"Tine!" I heard his name being shouted. A tall handsome foreign guy came running towards him as he placed his hand on Tine's shoulder.

Who is he?

"I've been waiting for you the taxi is waiting." He told him and I watch him take Tine to leave with him.

"Tine wait." I grabbed Tine's arm to stop him from leaving.

I wasn't done talking to him just yet. There is so much I want to tell him and ask him. My hand was swept away by this handsome guy.

"Please show some respect sir and keep your hands off people." He told me as he gave me annoyed look.

Who does he think he is? Is he stupid?

This time he wraps his arm around Tine's shoulder, forcing Tine to leave with him before I could say anything else. I study the two from afar was I watch this handsome help Tine get inside the taxi. Tine smiled him as the two seemed so close and happy.

Is he Tine's new boyfriend? Has Tine really moved on and found someone else? I am feeling all types of emotions right now. Confusion, anger, disappointment, and sadness was all I am feeling right now.

I look down at the floor and saw a blue wallet on the ground. I opened it up and saw it was Tine's ID inside. He didn't noticed he dropped it. I shove his wallet in my pocket as I walk inside the restaurant to find Khai and Third.
