11. Don't you have Rose?

Singto kicked Gammon in the leg while saying "What is this ... girlfriend ... girlfriend from this morning?"

A horrible feeling sinks down Singto's chest when he hears 'my girlfriend'. It is hurting him.

Singto rubbed his chest and continued, "Did you have a change of heart? Don't you have Rose?"

He glared at Singto seriously when he heard Rose's name from Singto's mouth. He is already fed up as everyone is thinking that Rose is his girlfriend. He didn't expect Singto to also think like them . He shared so many times with his brother that Rose is only his friend.

With a disappointed voice he says,"Bro! How many times I have to say Rose is my childhood friend and now she is just a friend, not a girlfriend. But, this girl..." he hugs himself and says, "She is my girlfriend."

Singto immediately hits Gammon's head. "If I hear the word 'girlfriend' once again from your mouth, I will sew it shut."

"Bro! I know you hate girls but you have to see her. Your mind will automatically change. I want to introduce her to you tomorrow. Wait, no! I won't introduce her. What if she fell for you or you fell for her? I won't introduce her until she loves me."

Singto slaps his forehead at seeing his lovesick brother. How fast could he fall for some unknown girl?

"Gammu! Do you think that girl will meet you again? You should not trust a person who abandoned you in a crisis."

Singto tries to tell him that he shouldn't trust a random girl. His brotherly instincts come out to protect Gammon. Surely this strange girl means nothing but trouble. She got him involved with thugs for God's sake!

"Gammu! Do you think that girl will meet you again? You should not trust a person who abandoned you in a crisis."

Gammon frowns at hearing his brother say that his Chingu is a con person. How can he explain how delicate she is? To clear the misunderstandings he speaks up," Bro! She didn't abandon me. I advised her to run because someone is chasing her and she is new to Pattaya."

Singto still tries to convince him of the many traps in this world. He insists, "Gammu! You're such an innocent boy. Nowadays some college students are stealing iPhones from innocent ones. They all are one kind of person. Come tomorrow, she won't answer your phone."

Gammon gets irritated that his brother refuses to listen. He denies, "No! Bro! She is a decent person. She is really in trouble."

Seeing Gammon becoming irritated, he says, "OK! It is not safe to meet a girl who is in trouble. Tomorrow I will come along with you."

Gammon thinks for a while and says with a smile, " Okay! Bro! You can come along with me. But, when you see her, you should address her as Nong(Younger sister). You should keep in mind I have fallen for her first."

Singto says, "What? Don't forget Rose is waiting for your confession."

"Bro! Rose is my friend only," Gammon says by glaring at him and gritting his teeth. Even Singto is endlessly trying to force him to stick to Rose.

Singto raises his two hands in defeat and gives in with an "OK! OK! I don't want to fight with you over a girl. Let's go and enjoy ourselves on our beach."

"Oh! Bro! Why would you fight with me for a girl? She is mine."

"How can she be yours, Gammu? She may have already fallen for someone." Singto suggests and raises his two eyebrows.

"Bro! Why are you so aggressive today? Normally, you spoil me a lot and give me whatever I want."

"I don't know," Singto deflects with a lift of his shoulders. Somehow, talking to Gammon about this mysterious girl gives him an odd feeling.

"OK! Bro, let's go to our beach."

When Emma is at the entrance of the mall, she sees a certain chicken store. She goes there and orders chicken. She sits there and enjoys the aroma of chicken. Chicken is her only love in Pattaya, she thought to herself.

She thought, "Why should I go to Khun Da's beach when I don't know where it is? I will just watch all the shows in the theater here and call Jack at 9 p.m."

She switched off the phone, then finished her chicken legs and bought chicken popcorn. She thanks the chicken aroma, as it gave herself a good idea.

****************

Singto and Gammon play volleyball for some time. They always have fun spending time with each other no matter what trouble comes. After that, they lay on the white sand. Gammon says, "Bro! Why didn't you take the award from phor (dad)?"

Singto's mood changes in a fraction of second. He spouts, "How many times should I say that never bring Mr. Sutalick matter in front of me?"

"Bro! Why are you still angry with him? He changed into a good person. And he is waiting for when you're going to excuse him."

"Gammon! If you still talk about him, I will go away," said Singto and he stands up and walks towards his car without saying goodbye to Gammon. His heart is as hard as stone whenever his father is even mentioned. Seeing him that night made it unbearable.

Gammon runs after him by apologizing, "Sorry Bro! Excuse me for once. I will never bring this topic again."
